Why Nevada tan became panik

A video I made about the German rockband Panik (formerly known as nevada tan), who were deceived by their producers/managers, and because of that had to change their bandname.

Song: Panik - wegweiser

the first 20 seconds aren't subtitled, they are news reports about them changing their name.

translation of the song:
Its two at night
I'm awake
fresh back from a gig
again too much business
Too many flashlights
and its not here any more
The energy from the day
Used up
Again exhausted I fall into bed
All the aggression pent up
calm on the outside
I have been hiding behind the façade of my smile
and horrified, I realise I forget
how the air tastes to me at home
many times I have the feeling life passes me by
everywhere the same s***, just power, money, & envy
and at the moment there is nobody who I forgive
I'm sorry
'the business is hard'
every day another ass who tells me that
and i endure the stuck-up coke-sniffing noses
no more
so many gold-digging brides who love me
but who sees more in me
than just the rapper?
i want to get away from here
so listen

the air burns
scars into the neck
(i try to escape but lose)
this look doesn't leave me alone anymore
(its stuck to me like a shadow)

when i lie awake
i stare at the TV
and have to throw up
something isn't right
and i can't believe it
even at night you won't leave me alone
again i run to the toilet
again i feel dead
again i need salvation
but no salvation comes
to this need
come on!
we were discovered in 2006
opressed by our producers
and signed the crap
the tramps drank champagne
the situation seemed perfect
horrified we found out
how the air tastes here
We were a Rock act in the Pop world
it shocked us
between coke and cocktails
music becomes money,and quickly,
especially for you
that's what this was called,
playback instead of festival
instead of music we did politics
because someone said that without them
we would never become something
And how should we get out,
then we signed the contracts

Chorus

It's good they made them change thier name....

Nevada-tan was the nickname of a Japanese girl who murdered a friend in school.

[xxxSilverwings90xxx]

Yes, but they chose that name with good reasons ;)

[supatoker420]

theres nothing good about a 11 year old girl slicing the neck of another 12 year old girl.

Nevada-tan, killed her friend with a knife, sliced her throat, then cut her arms.

Nevada-tan is a murderer.

[xxxSilverwings90xxx]

Like I said, they chose that name with good reasons. Because they where shocked about this happening, that something like that could happen. They wanted to send a message.

Though I personally like the name panik better.

[fabischafer]

lets hope the stupid propducers dont make a new band a use the name nevada tan that would be liek a slap in the face for panik. . .

[xxxSilverwings90xxx]

Well, they did actually do that a little while ago, but luckily it totally failed.

[crazyjulieta]

to see this and know they are now really splitting up just makes me want to cry...

[jenny94RU]

it's tragic to see young bands that make beautiful music (we all know that there aren't a lot of them left) being through all these things.

it's not only discouraging to other young artists but it also shows what we all know: if you don't have a famous relative or if you aren't a part of disney, you don't much deserve respect.

too bad they split up! they are a lot better that other artists of their age who are a lot more famous right now.....

@chobitz7 No sympathy for bullies who are killed by the people they tormented.

[yerk3]

@supatoker420 So bands can only name themselves after good and pleasant things?

[LetsCountTheWays]

i miss them so much. so hardworking, so deserving. RESPECT, thats all i can say. and LOVE, they deserve all the love in the world.

[chobitz7]

@supatoker420 Obviously the parents are to blame, not the movies she watched, not the website, the parents. not able to teach her how to deal with anger, and so she got into violent movies where you kill to deal with anger, she was not taught by her parents and allowed to see crazy shit, an boom, she is a murderer, and yes, the girl was picking on her.

[supatoker420]

@chobitz7 picking no her? she just wrote shit on her blog.

natsumi tsuji just didn't know how to control her anger, and killed satomi. 

[chobitz7]

@supatoker420 Nevada-tan killed a girl who was picking on her, anyone who is killed by someone that they pick on got what was coming to them, in addition, she is adorable. The victim wasnt her friend, she was an ex-friend turned bully. the worst kind.

[ElioSmiley]

Respect too.

Thats why I love this band so much :)

They make great music and fight for what they want

A great model for all of us :)

[greendayluvr94]

he is about to cry!

that's not fair!! just not fair!!!
