The 8 most dedicated music fan tribes, from Deadheads to Directioners

Post on 10:22 PM Be The First To Comment

By Fraser McAlpine

Fandom is an intense business, whether it's pop music, Harry Potter or football. And a good part of that intensity comes from a very tribal sense of community. It's about banding together around a common cause, and rallying against a recognised foe - fans of a rival team, perhaps, or people who don't believe Katy Perry is the most important voice of a generation (the fools!).

BBC Four's The People's History of Pop is tracing these alliances and loose affiliations among the many tribes of music lovers, to retell the story of popular music as a fan-made phenomenon. As a whistle-wettener, here are eight of the most fervent - and organised - fanbases in music history.

1. KISS Army

KISS speak about their 2012 album Monster

That's right, KISS have their own army, and while their camouflage leaves a lot to be desired, at least their soldiers always have the element of surprise. The KISS Army was formed unofficially in 1975 by Indiana fans Bill Starkey and Jay Evans, who would plague their local radio station with requests to play the band's records. It became a bigger organisation after the pair were mentioned on air and likeminded fans called up to ask how they could join. They then began working with the band in promoting one of their concerts, resulting in 10,000 people turning up, and eventually the KISS Army became the band's official fan club, with its own logo and, at its peak, nearly 100,000 loyal soldiers.

2. Lady Gaga's Little Monster

Little Monsters look back on a day when they spent 17 hours waiting for Gaga

Lady Gaga fans are a breed apart. Where other intense fan groups name themselves after their idols (Beliebers, Swifties etc.), Gaga's fans celebrated her love of the grotesque by forming a wild tribe, referring to themselves as Little Monsters and their heroine as Mother Monster. They have their own social networking site and customs, and even their own secret symbol (a raised hand holding the shape of a claw, taken from the choreography in the Bad Romance video), which has been taken up by Gaga herself. At the 2010 Grammy Awards, she played a customised grand piano with claw hands coming out of the lid, as a tip of the wig to her loyal fanbase.

3. Insane Clown Posse's Juggalos

Taking things up a notch, Juggalos (or Juggalettes) are fans of the horrorcore rap groupInsane Clown Posse, and they're scarily organised. They have their own hand signal (it spells WC, for 'wicked clown'); they have their own festival - The Gathering of the Juggalos - and despite a fearsome reputation for activities that border on gang membership, they even have their own charities, including The Juggalo Cleanup Crew, which helps pick up litter. This is a great thing, given that the other thing Juggalos are known for is messily spraying the fizzy drink Faygo everywhere.

4. The Grateful Dead's Deadheads

Never was a band's musical reputation as lovingly curated by fans as that of The Grateful Dead. From very early on in their career, critics began to notice that their fans were travelling to all available shows on a tour, sometimes bringing extensive recording equipment along to capture every nuance of their improvisations. A good deal of these recordings, created with the full permission of the band, have subsequently been archived and released. Deadheads made ends meet by selling tie-dyed T-shirts or food along the way, but largely they were there to document their band's every musical move for posterity. Bassist Phil Lesh says in this clip from the BBC Arena documentary The Grateful and the Dead, "The original idea was to build an audience to sell records. We just built the audience and kept going back and playing to them."

5. Morrissey's Apostles

6 Music's Vicky Warham speaks to Morrissey tribute band Mexrissey

Morrissey fans are an ardent bunch - hence the nickname Apostles - whose dietary, reading, fashion and lifestyle habits have all been heavily informed by the fabled Moz high standards. But Mexican Morrissey fans; they're something else entirely. Besotted by the deep melancholy in songs such as There Is a Light That Never Goes Out, they associate his pugnacious songs of yearning and alienation with similar themes in the traditional music of northern Mexico. That is why a band like Mexrissey (above) can prosper, playing Spanish versions of his best-known songs to people who consider him an honorary Mexican in the first place.

6. Gary Numan's Numanoids

Gary Numan on first performing on TV

Being a fan of electropop was no picnic in the late 1970s, and as Gary Numan reveals in this clip from Synth Britannia, performers had to invent their stage personas on the fly, as there was only really Kraftwerk - and latterly David Bowie - who were working in a similar musical field. Thankfully, he was protected by a particularly rabid fanbase, who grimly endured the 'real music' taunts of punks and heavy metal fans alike in order to support Gary's dystopian vision of the future. And their passion was reciprocated, in a way, when Gary married Gemma O'Neill, a member of his own fan club, in 1997.

7. 1D's Directioners

One Direction talk about the devotion of their fans and their film, This Is Us

Time to tread a little carefully, as One Direction fans have a well-earned reputation for being among the most fiercely loyal and easily angered tribes on the internet. Many's the music writer or magazine social media feed that has found their Twitter feed swamped with aggro for even the mildest sniffy comment towards 1D. Directioners - not all of whom are impressionable teenagers by any stretch - have had tattoos of their personal favourite's face, adopted braces to be like Niall, copied all of Harry's tattoos, stolen Liam's boxer shorts and even been the subject of a Channel 4 documentary, Crazy About One Direction.

8. The Beatles' Apple Scruffs

Beatles fans on live sports programme Grandstand

Intense fandom does have its rewards. Apple Scruffs was the name given to a gang ofBeatles fans who liked to wait outside Abbey Road, and the Apple offices in the late-60s, long after the screaming girls in this clip from BBC's Grandstand had packed up and gone home. Two of them (Lizzie Bravo and Gayleen Pease) were invited in to sing on a version of Across the Universe, while other Scruffs helped pack John Lennon's experimental album Unfinished Music No. 1: Two Virgins, after EMI refused to handle the cover, a photo depicting John and Yoko Ono naked. They even had their own magazine, The Apple Scruffs Monthly Book, and in 1970 George Harrison wrote them a song, called Apple Scruffs, which appeared on his solo album All Things Must Pass.

Gaga's new songs 'killer' says Sir Elton, who's writing with her

Post on 9:57 PM Be The First To Comment

Sir Elton John is working with Lady Gaga on her new album, which she said will be released this year.

The friends will join each other in the studio this week to work on Gaga's fifth studio album.

Elton's heard two of the songs so far and has already said they sound "killer".

He added that he won't be afraid to say what he really thinks about her other new tracks too.

The Oscar nominee's last full pop album, Artpop, was released in 2013.

Tracks included Applause and Do What U Want, featuring R. Kelly.

Since then she's done a collaborative album with Tony Bennett, 2014's Cheek to Cheek.

But these are the brand new tracks fans have been eagerly awaiting.

"I'm writing with Gaga," Sir Elton confirmed to Beats 1 Radio.

"I've heard two songs, which are killer. They're just great songs. It's like back to the early stuff of hers, like You and I and Bad Romance," he said.

t seems he won't be afraid to hold back either.

"Artpop was not a great idea. It was not a good album and I think she would admit that," Elton said.

"Then in the midst of that, she did three things which were kind of amazing.

"She did the whole tour and album with Tony Bennett, which did amazingly well. She sang the Julie Andrews tribute at the Oscars, which everybody loved. And she was on American Horror Story."

He said: "I think she's a great writer. To me, she is Stefani Germanotta and I love her and I care about her - she's godmother to my two children.

"I want her to go and make a kind of simple, fabulous, great song record."

Lady Gaga wins Born This Way plagiarism case against French artist

Post on 7:39 PM Be The First To Comment

Lady Gaga has reportedly won a court battle accusing her of stealing images for her 2011 Born This Way album.

French artist Orlan was asking for 7.5% of the royalties made by the star's record.

That amounts to $31.7m (£28.3m) of the eight million global sales for her second studio album.

The case claimed that Gaga had stolen concepts from two sculptures including a 1989 piece called Bumpload and Woman with Head from 1996.

It was argued that the work had been copied in both the album artwork, as well as in a scene from the music video of the same name, where severed heads appear on a table.

The case also considered Lady Gaga's reading out of The Manifesto of Mother Monster as a reference to Orlan's Manifeste de l'art charnel (Manifesto of Carnal Art).

According to The Art Newspaper, the court's ruling found that an artistic installation cannot be reduced solely to its physical elements.

The ruling also stated that Orlan must pay Lady Gaga and her record label 10,000 euros (£8,390) each, as dictated by France's legal code for civil proceedings.

Orlan told Artnet news that she intends to appeal against the decision.

Lady Gaga clashes with Catholic blogger over criticism of her lifestyle

Post on 3:09 AM Be The First To Comment

Musician Lady Gaga has criticised a Catholic blogger who said that the singer had done “obscene things”.

Gaga prompted surprise among her fans when she posted a photo onInstagram on Sunday of her and a Catholic priest and wrote: “Thank you Father Duffell for a beautiful homily as always and lunch at my pop’s restaurant. I was so moved today when you said … ‘The Eucharist is not a prize for the perfect but the food that God gives us.’ – Father Duffell, Blessed Sacrament Church Nourishment.”

Becky Roach also responded with a blog post entitled “Five Things To Remember When Celebrities Share Their Faith” and commented: “Sometimes we hold these celebrities to a higher standard than we do ourselves. Yes, it’s true that [the] celebrities…don’t always live out Christian values in their actions at all.

“Even in cases such as Lady Gaga, a woman who has unfortunately done a variety of obscene things, let’s see how we can take advantage of this opportunity to make it clear that anyone can turn back to the faith and that even amongst such a lifestyle the desire of God continue to be present. Making hate-filled comments about them over social media is not going to convince them of their wrongdoing and it definitely won’t attract others to Christianity.”

Roach also added: “It has become somewhat of a trend for celebrities to share their faith,” wrote Roach.

“Many celebrities are sharing Bible verses, quoting priests, and singing Christian music while at the same time still leading a typical Hollywood lifestyle void of Christian values such as modesty and purity.”

But Lady Gaga replied on Instagram, saying that celebrities were human too. She said: “Dear Becky Roach, Mary Magdalene washed the feet of Christ and was protected and loved by him. A prostitute. Someone society shames as if she and her body are a man’s trash can. He loved her and did not judge. He let her cry over him and dry his feet with the hair of a harlot. We are not just ‘celebrities’ we are humans and sinners, children, and our lives are not void of values because we struggle. We are as equally forgiven as our neighbour.

“God is never a trend no matter who the believer,” the singer wrote

In 2013, Rolling Stone named The Fame as one of the "100 Greatest Debut Albums of All-Time". A follow-up EP, titled The Fame Monster, was released in 2009, and included the singles "Bad Romance" and "Telephone".
