The five-year history of MTV's Musical March
Madness tournament has seen no shortage of Cinderella stories —
Disturbed's deep run in the 2011
tourney, F--ked Up's shocking string of upsets in 2012, Walk The Moon's
sprint to the Final Four last year — but Imagine Dragons' 2013
appearance was not one of them.
"I feel like we got voted out pretty early last time. We got smoked by, like, Tokyo Police Club. Who was it? Tokio Hotel. That's who it was," Dragons' frontman Dan Reynolds told MTV News. "Don't they win every year or something? Their fans are the real deal."
Actually, Imagine Dragons lost to Modest Mouse ... but that didn't guitarist Wayne Sermon from calling out perennial MMM powerhouses Tokio Hotel — "We're coming after you!" he snarled — a move which would almost certainly incur the wrath of TH's super-serious "Aliens" fanbase; which is why Reynolds was quick to interrupt him. After all, the Dragons would like to actually win this thing.
"Don't do that! We respect you [Tokio Hotel fans], we respect everything you're about," he said. "But, if you wanna be fans of two bands, we'll accept you. There's room."
"We would like to encourage everybody from Tokio Hotel to please vote for us in Musical March Madness," bassist Ben McKee deadpanned.
