LOL, a lot of teeny boppers are obsessed with Bill.
He's quite the (feminine) looker.
I liked him better in his earlier days...now he's starting to look like a creepy transvestite.

i am so impressed by this band's path. :)
i remember when they first debuted, girls in germany went CRRRAZY.
because they were the first band to rock that provocative image bill had.
i'm not their fan, but i thought it was cool, cause i know bill is kind of influenced by japanese music. so it was a first ever thing in germany, really.
it's freaky to see all their antis though. i like to compare them to tvxq cause they have an amazing number of fans but also a scary number of anti-fans, except tokio hotel probably got wayyy more than dongbang.
idk why germans don't just accept them, in the end it's music they make, and it's GOOD music too so..
they're like a gift to germany, considering no german boyband made it this far outside the country before them.
i heard many kids are taking german classes because of them, and their concerts in all of europe & even america really make me go 'wow'.
i hope bill recovers from his operation soon, i heard they're having another concert in the US one of these days?

^Bill was voted "Most Annoying German" a few years ago xD
I don't know why they hate him so much, lol.
I heard his surgery went well and he's just started talking again this week.
Well, they have to finish their 1000 Hotels tour in Europe first, and then I think they're coming to Detroit and...some other cities.
I wish they would come to Toronto xD

definitely! his voice was really nice back then too. Speaking of which, I hope it hasn't changed too much after the surgery :x

Bill supposedly copied his style from J-rock bands, but who knows...
And anyways, who has a "unique" style anymore?
just look at all the scene kids and fobs running around. no one really has their own style, except maybe....Mary-Kate Olsen with her potato sack dresses.
I do agree that a large percentage of their fans are pre-teen girls who would not care for the band if they were ugly,
which thankfully, they aren't.

he had a cyst in his vocal cords (and some infection too) from straining his voice.
the doctors had to remove it right away or else he won't be able to sing anymore :x

Apr 18 2008, 05:07 PM
they hate him b/c its not very acceptable in western cultures..think about Americans bashing BSB, N'sync only b/c they are a boyband, and then Linkin Park was considered cool at first, than when everyone started to like them, people jump on the cool boat and call them EMO..
while if you look at K POP, its acceptable to act or look girly and well look at how many boybands their are.....the fan girls go crazy and many guys want to look the pop stars or at least have their haircuts
imagine if we had that many boy bands here....there wouldn't be words to describe that, guys like Big Bang rapping etc...-___- no offense
lol and Bill copying J-Rock style oh wow!!! too bad he actually puts most J Rockers to shame look wise, and i'm sure Bill was influenced by Japanese b/c why would they call themselves Tokio Hotel???
i don't see ppl bashing Chinese or Taiwanese ppl being influenced Koreans and Japanese w/ their FOB hair w/ those lil mullets, peace signs, and trying to act all feminine and cute w/ those ugly circle lenses....oh but their Asian so its ok...
i really like their songs but once they hit main stream in America its not gonna be the same, cuz everyone knows them and i won't feel unique ne more :\ just like the LP phase, kinda like how 5 years ago i thought FOB hair was cool and unique and everyone stilled had spiky black hair, now that everyone has it...its just blehhhh

they've done Durch den Monsun in English (Monsoon) and Japanese (Monsoon o koete (?))^^, and Schrei in English (Scream)
there's probably others, but those are the ones i remember.
I love the Zimmer 483 album (:
Reden,
Spring nicht, and
Übers Ende der Welt are all really good. look them up on youtube, NOW, lol.
and of course, i never get tired of monsoon, even though Bill's voice at the time sounded like a bag of kittens being run through a lawn mower.

Apr 18 2008, 08:56 PM

I saw them live at The Filmore in NYC on 2/19/08. xD They were awesome! Bill is sooo much prettier in person

. I went with 3 of my friends and 2 of them started to stray away from us in the crowd...and at the end of the concert, Bill threw his towel into the crowd and one of my friends got a piece xD..lucky! Anyway some fans could be vicious

...my friend said someone bit her arm while they were all fighting for the towel.

i just listened to monsun o koete and i think bill's japanese is good, especially considering his heavy german accent (haha! xD). i don't get why some people think it's miserable. he deserves credit; japanese is not an easy language to master.
it's awesome how they mixed japanese with german in that song.
my favorite songs from TH are:
Leb' de sekunde
Heilig
Rette mich
Lass uns hier raus
An diener seite ich bin da

bill is crazy pretty O_O and was a hella cute kid. i've only heard a couple songs by them before but i'll have to look into more of their music.
as far as bill copying j-rockers.. oh well. lots of people copy others. and he looks good anyway. there are a lot of people who try to imitate jrock/vkei kind of style and they just look =x

Everyone here in the Netherlands know about them. Not all are fans though. I think they have some nice songs, though I'm not really a fan..Anyway, I liked Bill when his hair was spiked up! That was way better as what he has now. Therefore; Tom Kaulitz is the most good-looking one in this group if you ask me ^^

I never really watched any of their show like from YouTube, but WOW I love their song "Ready, Set, Go"
I love listening to that song while working at Hollister!! I remember my boyfriend was like "They should have added that music
to the movie Speed Racer, I think it would've been cool" And I was thinking "Speed Racer is like a kid old school movie,
I can't imagine that music there o__O Since that movie is more futuristic" ^__^

which is into wannabe rock bands like Green Day and Good Charlotte.

I like them. I don't see why so many people are against them, people just always need to hate on others. I respect them for the fact that they are so young but are still able to handle this sort of craziness. And so they have an image, everyone has an image that's how you get people to notice you. People just need to chill with the hate.

OMG. I couldn't imagine that in Soompi THERE WAS a thread of Tokio Hotel xDDDD. I really liked them (I still like them but not that much), because of that I made their Official Spanish fan club and I have met them twice... (Please, don't kill me >_<). So if you wanna visit my webpage, it is this one: www.tokiohotelspain.com. We've got a lot of info in our forum n_n.
I either can't understand why people get bothered because others like their music .___. It's absolutely stupid...
