HI, ICH BIN´S, BILL VON TOKIO HOTEL!
Leider darf ich zur Zeit noch nicht sprechen aber am schreiben hindert mich ja niemand....deshalb dachte ich mir, dass ich euch hier auf TokioHotel.de ein paar Zeilen schreibe.
Wie die meisten sicherlich schon gehört haben ist meine Operation richtig gut verlaufen und ihr könnt euch sicher vorstellen, dass mir ein riesen Stein vom Herzen gefallen ist. Klar, wie meine Stimme nach den zehn Tagen Schweigepause klingen wird weiß keiner so wirklich aber die Ärzte versichern mit immer wieder dass alles okay sein wird - das baut natürlich auf aber absolute Gewissheit ist das eben auch nicht. Ich bin aber guter Dinge, dass alles so klingt wie vorher.
Ich könnte euch sicher vorstellen, dass ich mich schon tierisch auf den Tag freue an dem ich endlich wieder reden darf...es ist schlicht und ergreifend eine Folter den ganzen Tag den Mund halten zu müssen und das volle zehn Tag! Toll ist, dass ich während dieser Zeit total bemuttert werde ;-) Gustav & Georg besuchen mich regelmäßig und Tom ist sowieso rund um die Uhr für mich da.
Danke an euch alle für die vielen „Genesungswünsche“ die im Internet kursieren. Es ist kaum zu glauben wie viele Leute sich um mich sorgen und ich könnte wahrscheinlich Monate lang lesen und würde trotzdem kein Ende der Grußbotschaften sehen. Ein riesiges Dankeschön also für die gigantische Unterstützung - ihr seid einfach riesig....die besten Fans die man sich wünschen kann!!!!

After ten days of silence Bill was allowed to speak again...his first word was "Ahhh" followed by "eins, zwei, drei..." He is allowed to speak now but still has to take things slow. He's not allowed to make phonecalls yet and should try not to speak too much. Actually...as less as possible. More info will be found on the link added below. That's also the source of our info. More information will be added soon!!!

GUTE NEUIGKEITEN FÜR ALLE DEUTSCHEN FANS!
Das Dortmund Konzert am 31.03.2008 musste wie viele andere auch wegen Bills Stimmbändererkrankung ausfallen. Aber nun können alle Fans aufatmen: es wird ein Nachholkonzert geben! Die Show in der Dortmunder Westfalenhalle findet nun am 13.06.2008 um 19.30h statt! Alle gekauften Tickets behalten ihre volle Gültigkeit. Ihr könnt also einfach mit eurem bereits gekauften Ticket die Show am 13.06. besuchen!

Bill geht es inzwischen besser, auch wenn es nur kleine Schritte sind, ab jetzt darf er endlich wieder sprechen! Sein erstes Wort war ein "Ahhh" ;) und dann hat er ganz vorsichtig und leise "1,2,3,4..." gezählt. Bill darf aber vorerst nur wenige Worte am Stück reden und muss dann wieder eine lange Pause machen. Das Beste daran ist - seine Stimme klang ganz klar! Die nächsten Wochen wird er regelmäßig zum Stimmtraining gehen und quasi noch einmal neu sprechen lernen.

Wir halten euch auf dem Laufenden!

Good news for the German fans!

The Dortmund concert that had to be cancelled due to Bill's vocal problems will be played at 13 Juni 2008 at the Westfalenhalle in Dortmund. Your already bought tickets will remain valid for that date.

Bill's doing better, even though it's only small steps, but finally he is allowed to speak again. His first word was "Ahhh" and then he counted "1,2,3,4..." Bill may still not talk that much, only small sentences and then he has to take a long pause befor speaking again. The good things is - his voice sounded well and clear! Upcoming weeks he will have voicetraining often and he will learn anew how to use his voice to speak.

We will keep you up to date

TOKIO HOTEL SCOOP MTV EUROPE AWARDS GONG
The new Fab Four just love Liverpool!

German teen rock sensations Tokio Hotel carried on their incredible year by landing the best live band gong at the MTV Europe Awards in Liverpool last night. Other big winners included comeback queen Britney Spears, who won two awards – 'Best Act' and 'Album of the Year'.

Tokio Hotel scooped their prize in the 'most impressive live band at a festival or on tour’ category, beating off competition from the likes of Metallica and The Cure.

In September, the young German rockers - whose hits include ‘Monsoon’ - were given the 'Best Newcomer Award' at the MTV Video Awards show in Los Angeles. Their winning streak continued at the MTV Latin Awards in Mexico.

"We are so happy, this is so crazy" said singer Bill Kaulitz (19) during his acceptance speech in Liverpool, famous for being the home of the original 'Fab Four' the 'Beatles'. "You guys are the best," he told his fans.

Tokio Hotel were also nominated for ‘Best Act of all Time’, but lost out to British pop star Rick Astley (42). The whole group - twins (Bill and Tom Kaulitz, Georg Listing and Gustav Schafer - were all present at the awards, despite drummer Gustav recent crashing his car into a tram in Germany.

Britney continued her huge comeback, winning awards in two of the biggest categories, but was not present on the night and spoke to the 40,000 music fans in Liverpool’s Echo Arena by satellite: "It’s such an honour. Sorry I can’t be there, but have a blast!"

Thanks to M from the Official Swedish Street Team, fans will have the chance to win an Iron Fist T-shirt.Not just a T-shirt.The kind that Bill wears!
Here is some info about the contest.

The Official Swedish TH Street Team will hold a competition together with the famous Clothing Brand: Iron Fist!

As you all may be aware of; This is one of Bill Kaulitz absolute Favorite Brands!

He have been seen wearing clothing from Iron Fist on regular bases, and it is quite clear that he diggs it.

Iron Fist will provide us with the Prices, and since their company is being spread all over the World, this will be an International Competition! Wherever You live, you can join in! =)

Here is the info on their myspace blog...

 Good luck & have fun!

Bill Kaulitz Promises A New Side Of Tokio Hotel On The Band’s Upcoming Album

Still no title or release date for Tokio Hotel’s next album (oh, lunchtime poll — which are you more excited for — the Twilight movie, or the new Tokio Hotel album? Seriously, it’s a hard and probably unfair question), but Bill did promise MTV News that the follow-up to Scream will be a new side of and sound from the band.

Watch the video below, find out more about TH’s new album, and watch all four of Buzzworthy’s Halloween interviews with Tokio Hotel! Oh yeah, and a Tokio Hotel-Aerosmith collabo would be such epic kino that I can’t even deal right now. "Walk This Way" and "Love In An Elevator" rule as hard as "I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing" sucks!

Bill Kaulitz
Music's Ickiest of the Icky, Circa 2008
Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)

Creepy is a hard thing to pin down, but you know it when you see it because life is full of creepy people. The guy at the end of the bar with the moustache that licks his soup strainer when your girlfriend walks by. The chicks that claim to love Sports­Center. The Clear Lake bar scene.

All these folks have one thing in common: They all know how to seemingly creep us out of our Converse. The music industry is no different, likewise full of perverts, art-school dropouts and swarthy types. During this Halloween season, let's reflect on some of our favorite batshit loon-balls.

Bill Kaulitz, Tokio Hotel: You probably don't know who this guy is unless you stalk underage emo kids online or follow German pop-metal. Kaulitz is the lead singer of the popular Teutonic act Tokio Hotel, who sound like an even whinier HIM wielding a flatiron. This guy looks and sounds like a 14-year-old girl. I'm down with androgyny, believe me. Who doesn't like surprises? But only from the land that elevated David Hasselhoff to Beatle status would we get this. As Norm MacDonald was so fond of reminding us, Germans love David Hasselhoff.

Buzznet member - Ohiougirl2018 asked Tokio Hotel fans all over Buzznet to submit their need-to-know questions for Tokio Hotel. This is no average TH fan interview, so give it up for all the unique questions asked and submitted and of course Ohiougirl2018 for making this interview happen.

Buzznet: During the song 'Scream' on the album - Bill you hold out the last note of the song for a very long time, however you don't do that live. Is there any reason for this? Maybe pertaining to your recent surgery?
Bill Kaulitz (laughing): No, don’t worry. Everything went great after my surgery and my voice is totally o.k.. The live version of 'Scream' is just different then the album version.

Xblanksface: A priest, a rabbi, and a monkey walk into a bar...who survives the ensuing knife fight?
Tom Kaulitz: We don’t know – you tell us!

Blue52: Bill you're known for having a great presence on stage. What advice do you have for your musician fans who want to communicate with an audience better?
Bill Kaulitz: That’s a hard one. I’m just myself when I walk on stage. I’m always so excited when I go out on stage. I can’t wait to see the audience. It’s like a blind date every time. So I try to really see and meet everyone. I don’t want to miss out anyone and try to enjoy every second.

Linahotel: This is for the twins: Do you boys think the same thing often? When one of you gets hurt does the other one feels the pain? Cause I have a twin sister and that happens all the time.
Bill Kaulitz (laughing): We know what you mean. We always know what the other one is thinking and feeling.
Tom Kaulitz: Yeah, cause we can feel it as well.
Bill Kaulitz: Sometimes we even dream the same dream in the same night.

Blackkat: What would you like your fans to know about you that he never got the chance to say?
Tom Kaulitz (laughing): All we say is: silent waters are deep – very deep...

Starbreeze: If you could hang out with any famous person, dead or alive, who would it be?
Tom Kaulitz: Jessica Alba or Angelina Jolie ... Or both ... 

Jtmbrendon: Which song makes you cry?
Bill Kaulitz: For me it’s not a specific song, it’s more about the mood I am in. And then it can be everything – the music or a line or just the whole song.

Xxnialovesthxx: What is one thing that you dislike about yourself, physically or personality wise?
Tom Kaulitz (smiling): I am actually pretty happy with myself ...
Bill Kaulitz: I’m not very patient, that could be something I would like to change.

Skwdrw103182: Have you ever thought that you found someone in a crowd at a show that you wanted to get to know, but lost her in the crowd after the concert?
Tom Kaulitz (smiling): I always say: Never say never ...
Bill Kaulitz: Yeah, but so far it hasn’t happen to me. But who knows.

Cashicute12: Are you thinking of having a family and raise kids one day?
Bill Kaulitz: Tom is gonna be the first of us who will settle down, get married and having at least four kids ...
Tom Kaulitz: Right ...
Bill Kaulitz: But honestly, we are still so young and all that counts at the moment is Tokio Hotel and our music. But unlike Tom I really do believe in true love. I think that there’s the right person for everyone – somewhere. Some of us are lucky and find that person, and some don’t.

Farfora: What was the worst punishment you ever received at school? Did you get in trouble a lot?
Bill Kaulitz: Tom and I hated school. It was really the worst time of our live ...
Tom Kaulitz: Definitley. And the worst punishment was when the Bill and me got separated at school cause the teacher couldn’t handle the two of us.

Dpl33: If they made a movie about Tokio Hotel, who would you want to play you in the movie?
Bill Kaulitz (laughing): I think it would be absolutely awesome if we could play us!

Ohiougirl2018: With all of your recent success it would be easy to loose touch with your old friends. Are you still friends with the same people you were friends with before you were famous? Do they still treat you the same?
Bill Kaulitz: Our friends and families are very important to us and all of us spent time with them whenever we are home.
Tom Kaulitz: Yeah, we are all still friends with our old friends, I mean our close friends. Of course we lost touch to a couple of people, but not our closest and oldest friends.

Tokio Hotel, a German band was founded in Magdeburg, Germany in 2001 by guitarist Tom Kaulitz, singer Bill Kaulitz, drummer Gustav Schäfer, and bassist Georg Listing. The four met in 2001 after a live show in a Magdeburg club, where Listing and Schäfer, who knew each other from music school, watched from the audience while Tom and Bill Kaulitz played on the stage. Under the name Devilish, the band soon began playing in talent shows and small concerts. After Bill Kaulitz's participation in a children's Star Search in 2003 at age thirteen, he was discovered by music producer Peter Hoffmann. The group changed their name to Tokio Hotel. "Tokio" is the German language spelling of the city Tokyo in Japan. The band has now become one of the biggest acts from Germany.

Viva Spezial Live: Tokio Hotel (Premiere)

'The invasion of Tokyo'
"Millions of records sold, thousands of fans, hundreds of submissions and come over "



ELIS SILVA
SATURDAY, 20 DECEMBER 2008
While in El Salvador is starting to penalties the tokiomanía are eight years that have passed since the group Tokio Hotel was born. His success came in 2005 when they presented their first album "Schrei" and since then became one of the most acclaimed and popular bands in Europe.
His arrival in America turned into a global boom. Last year presented their first album in English and in Latin America are now one of the most popular groups that has millions of fans of all nationalities.

Many still do not recognize all by name but by the group's lead singer Bill Kaulitz, an androgynous boy who is characterized by use much makeup hairstyle and a very particular.

With his voice on the theme "Through the monsson," Kaulitz and his colleagues took the first places in the radios. It can be said that this is happening since the introduction of the German version "Durch den Monsun."

-- TOKYO NACE --

Four German guys, Bill and Tom Kaulitz, Georg Listing and Gustav Schäfer, decided in 2001 to create a band called Devilish that the (evil). By signing a contract with Sony in 2003, renewed image and name. After changing the alias Tokio Hotel and again label, the guys recorded their first album, entitled "Schrei" in 2005 with the signing Universal.

This production sold millions of albums in Germany. The themes of the pop rock group won the German public, after the Austrian, the Swiss and so on until you reach the destination that he wants the group: the American continent.

Tokyo has won many prizes in Europe, nine-platinum and four gold in Germany, for this reason we won the title of the most successful band in history in Germany.

The merger and translation of his first three albums came "Scream" to the American public, in which the songs in German were translated into English.

-- OWN PERSONALITY  --

All members of the band have an original style. Bill Kaulitz always generated controversy for his androgynous image, which is to the liking of their fanatical.

In this new phenomenon fan, Tokio Hotel also includes Tom Kaulitz, the larger of the twins, who left the Rastas from age 12 and prefers a hip-hop attire. Tom is the most persecuted by the paparazzis, as it has a certain weakness for women. Both brothers are involved in music from a very early age.

Drummer and bassist, Gustav Schäfer, 20, and Georg Listing, 21, also have their own look.

There is no doubt that the force Tokio Hotel came to America, where they quickly occupied the main places on the lists of musical preference, and let the awards that were already in the U.S. and also in Latin America.

It´s another chapter in the history of Tokio Hotel´s success: the brand-new DVD "Tokio Hotel TV: Caught on Camera" (released December 5th) is an international sales hit. Throughout Europe, in the United States, Canada, and South America, the fans have been fighting over the exclusive DVD. This unique documentation left the gate at number one on the DVD charts in Italy, Portugal, Norway, and Belgium. It launched at number two in Spain, Germany and Finland, and at number three in France, Sweden, and the Netherlands!

Already in its first week, "Tokio Hotel TV: Caught on Camera" scored double platinum in France and gold in Portugal and Italy! No one has been as close to Tokio Hotel as we are here. Bill, Tom, Georg, and Gustav are seen in many previously unpublished photographs; they take their fans on a trip through the past twelve months in the extraordinary life of Tokio Hotel. They comment on it in their very own way, whether riding quad bikes in the desert of Nevada, playing paintball in Las Vegas, or backstage at their gigantic shows around the globe. A long and exclusive interview reveals to fans what they can expect next year, including the long awaited new studio album by the four musicians from Magdeburg. Following this success, Tokio Hotel will be withdrawing into the studio for a time to work more on their third album, which is expected to be out next spring!

Nach Lästerattacke von Promi-Blogger Perez Hilton
Tokio-Hotel-Manager: Natürlich singt Bill live!

Ein starkes Stück, was US-Promi-Blogger Perez Hilton nach der US-Tournee von Tokio Hotel behauptete: „Bill singt nicht live!“ Jetzt reagiert das Management der Tokio-Hotel-Jungs und liest dem Klatsch-König die Leviten.

Perez Hilton hatte auf seinem weltberühmten Blog behauptet, dass Bill auf seinen Konzerten keinen einzigen Song live singt, sogar der Rest der Band tue nur so, als ob sie die Instrumente spielen würde.

Tokio-Hotel-Manager David Jost kontert jetzt: „Die Band spielt sich seit Jahren den Ar**h ab. Und natürlich singt Bill live!“

Und weiter: „Jeder, der schon einmal auf einem Tokio Hotel-Konzert war, weiß das. Aber man kann gegenteiligen Gerüchten vielleicht auch etwas Gutes abgewinnen. Wenn jetzt alle Leute, die noch nie auf einem Tokio Hotel-Konzert waren und noch daran zweifeln, dass alles live ist, das nun als Anlass nehmen, sich ein Ticket für das nächste Konzert zu kaufen, dann überlegen wir uns, diesen Internet-Bengel eventuell sogar als Konzert-Promoter einzustellen (lacht).“

Was Klatschreporter Perez Hilton wohl zu diesem Friedensangebot sagt?

Gustav von Tokio Hotel
Blinddarm-Operation!

Tokio-Hotel-Schlagzeuger Gustav Schäfer (20) musste sich einer Blinddarm-Operation unterziehen!

Was war passiert? „Am 2. Januar ist Gustav morgens mit extremen Bauchschmerzen aufgestanden“, erzählt sein Manager David Jost BILD. „Im Laufe des Tages wurden die Schmerzen immer schlimmer.“

Der Teenie-Schwarm wurde in die Magdeburger Universitätsklinik eingeliefert. Verdacht auf Blinddarm-Durchbruch!

Nach einer kurzen Untersuchung versetzten die Ärzte Gustav sofort in Vollnarkose. In einem Eingriff entfernten sie den stark entzündeten Blinddarm des Tokio-Hotel-Stars. Manager Jost: „Die OP hat genau eine Stunde gedauert und ist gut verlaufen.“

Erst am Montag konnte Gustav die Klinik wieder verlassen. Er braucht jetzt zwei Wochen Ruhe.

For the fans of Tokio Hotel, they are many in Portugal, that question theirselfs about the desapearing of the German band, the vocalist let a answer on a interview for the French magazine, Dream Up:

"We are in studio now, recording the third album. This has been a intense time and with a lot of creativity, but we also made a little pause (...) The moment that we are away from the highlights is essential for the band because we return to concentrare in what really matters."

About new songs, composed in majority, while they were in tour, Bill Kaulitz sais that they will suprise a lot of people, because they will reveal influencies with some forgotten tones of Tokio Hotel.

One of the sonfs talks about everything that the vocalist losted because of the disease that obligated him to get a surgery and the cancelling some concerts, one of Portugal.

To end up, Bill admited that the new album will be sang in German because it will be a record more intimate, but he admits also that there will be a English version.

NOTE: MusicaOnline thanks to our reader Inês Terra, from the Portuguese Fan Club of Tokio Hotel, for sending the interview.

Bill Kaulitz- The phenomenon of Tokio Hotel
In Germany the teenagers are crazy for him, in France they love him and in the United States even the New York Times admires him. Bill Kaulitz is a phenomenon. What's behind of that face with makeup and dyed hair?

Bill is a character that polarizes. Some people love him and can't stop shouting if they are near him and some people hate him and stigmatize him as pretentious. One can argue in favor or against, but it can't be deny that the guy has talent.

His style, his charisma and his way of performing on stage are the factors that have caused the success of Tokio Hotel. He has an enormous capacity of handling publicity. But if he sometimes seems to be a kind and innocent guy, he can also be hard-headed when it comes to impose his will.

Lonely Child
Bill Kaulitz was born on september first 1989 in Leipzig, in the East of Germany. When his parents divorced, he went to live to Magdeburg with his mother and twin brother. Although he got good grades, he didn't like school. Since he went to a school in a neighboring village, he had to wake up at 5:30 am everyday and in the night he returned home late.

Since then he was an individualist. He didn't have many friends and didn't get along well with the teachers. He was a very petulant guy. He was always against the teachers and he complained in a very sophisticated way, demanding his rights as a student. For instance, he protested against his grades if the teachers didn't abide to the legal deadline for correcting the exams.

On the contrary, his mother Simone Kaulitz, a seamstress, had a lot of patience with him. His stepfather, Gordon Trümper, played the bass in a rock band and encouraged the twins to make music. Bill's music idol is Nena. The first album he bought and the first concert he went was of her.

He always knew he wanted to be a musician. Many times, his girlfriends didn't understand him when he prefered to go to the rehearsal room to play with his group or give a concert, than to go out with them. But at that time he already knew that you have to work hard to have success.

At school he already dressed in a very provocative way. His current style is not the effect of an idea of his record company or his manager. He is authentic. Since he was a kid he likes extraordinary clothes. Bill had his first piercing at 13 years old. The idea for his look came in a halloween party, the night of witches, when he dressed as a vampire. He liked the costume so much that he decided to adapt it in his daily live.

Clearly, that this esthetic was not liked by all his classmates and teachers. But that didn't matter to Bill. The purpose of his outfit is to jump into the view , is to provoke.

A postmodern work of art
His style now is a mixture of several elements of different youth movements. His hair is reminiscent of the 80s, his clothes contains influences of the satanist fashion, his face with his painted eyes is similar to those figures of the japanese animations films, the animes or manga. Moreover, he adds the androgyn element. He almost looks like a hybrid of a man and woman.

His whole apperance coincides a little with the style of the Emo-Kids or the pokemons, as they are called in Chile. They also have their hair dyed black and combed in a spectacular way. They also paint their eyes and wear tight pants. But it's only their style that at first sight links them to Bill. The shy and introverted attitude of the Emos has nothing to do with the singer.

He isn't Satanist either, a fan of the animes or the 80s. He only adapts certain elements of different subcultures and joins them in one character. Maybe is this mixture of styles what makes him so famous. He belongs to all groups and to none. It's a postmodern work of art.

To prevail against the adults
When with 15 years old he was becoming famous he had to defend his appearance for the first time. Tokio hotel's record company wants to convert the band into a typical boy-band. Part of that strategy is to change the presence of the four. Although the managers with whom he has to negotiate have more than twice his age, he didn't let them convinced him and insists that the band can decide independently the way of dressing.

Today that is one of the reasons of the success of the group. Bill imposed himself against the so-called experts and he has been right. That experience gave him more security. He still entrench himself in the independence of the group and isn't afraid of the adults that want to treat him as a child.

With 18 years old he has learned to behave as a tough businessman. He persues consequently his objectives and surely he hasn't arrive to the end of his journey.

Bill talks about fans, The album and Perez Hilton
In a new interject with the france magazine 'Dream up' Bill Kaulitz talks open about the album, the fans and Perez Hilton.


You have not been out lately...
- No. We have been in the studio to record our third album. It has been a very intentese period. But it also gave a necessarly break for the band. We got the chance to get away from our normal hectic life. In the studio we could be alone with our thoughts. The break from the spotlight is important for a band. We have gone back to the things that really matters for us. Bill tells.

What can we expect?
- 'Our new album will surprise a lot of people and I hope the fans will love it.' Bill says.

How do you work with the new album?
- The lyrics and the music is from our life after all the success. They are about feelings,thoughts and reflections about everything we have done. But they're also about new wishes and hopes. I started to write some of the songs in the summer of 2007. Many parts of the lyrics got finished during the tour. One of them is about the homesickness I had when we were in America. That’s why the album will be in German and then it will come out in English. Bill reveles.

How do you create a song?
- In the beginning it is just thoughts and ideas. Then the music comes around. In the moment the ref is done the song is really taking shape. In that time it's about time to record.

Do you have many fights in the band before you starts to record the songs?
- Yes, In the moment that we are ready to start recording things are getting a bit difficult. We have one song but there are many ways to sing the song. We need to find the best way to sing the song. Then we start to try things out with our song. We change the guitar sound or my voice. And because of things like that there are fights. And the thing that concerns me the most is that I am a perfectionist. Lucky my friends are not that way. Bill explains and laughs a bit.

Do you feel the pressure from the fans?
- The biggest pressure comes from us. And of course the feedback from our fans is important because we don’t want to let them down. But we don’t want to let down ourselfs either. We listen to other people's advice but the final decision comes from us.

Not long ago wrote the famous blogger Perez Hilton that your concerts was just "playback". What is your comment about that?
- This is not the first time I have heard stuff like that about Tokio Hotel, or other bands. We are big right now and that makes people jealous. And things like this is a part of the game. Perez Hilton has no prove in this matter. And as our manager David Jost said: ” The best way to make up your mind is to come to your concert and see us play”. And we rock. Bill finishes.

Here is another interview from Tokio Hotel in 2005!
Enjoy! <3

'Tokio Hotel Working On 'Dark

 Anthems For Next Album'

Producers the Matrix discuss their work on upcoming LP, tentatively due in the spring.
By: Gil Kaufman

It's been awhile since the production trio known as the Matrix worked on such a highly anticipated album. But that will change this spring when Tokio Hotel release the follow-up to their English language breakthrough album, Scream. The yet-untitled album is being co-produced by the pop songwriters/producers best known for their work with Avril Lavigne, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears and Korn.

"We're in the middle of working on the Tokio Hotel record right now," Matrix member Lauren Christy said Tuesday, the same day the collective's long-lost album featuring a then-unknown singer by the name of Katy Perry dropped on iTunes. "We've done eight songs for that record ... and I love the singer's voice and the fact that they play their own instruments. They're a real band, and they're very dark. They're this almost-perfect, gorgeous-looking band but with music that's very dark."

 So far, Christy said the German group has laid down tracks at two different Los Angeles studios with the Matrix and with their own in-house production team over the past few months, with a mix that includes very "strong, anthem-y" songs with a dark edge and "lots of guitars."

Fellow Matrix producer Scott Spock said the sessions have been one of the most exciting and enjoyable of his career. "We've worked with so many different people, and when you get into a room where magic just starts happening ... it makes everything really fun," he said, comparing the spark to the one he felt working with Lavigne and Korn. "It's the same experience with Tokio Hotel. ... They are all really talented and can write and play, and they're the real deal."

Spock said he can't recall the last time he worked with a singer who had as much star quality as TH leader Bill Kaulitz. "The music business really needs Tokio Hotel right now," Spock said. "They're reviving that image of what a rock star is. ... Their writing has developed massively, and we're experimenting a bit with some Depeche Mode influence. ... It doesn't sound like anything else out there right now. People don't want to hear a bunch of 808s and Auto-Tuned vocals. They want the real stuff."

Christy added that one of the other things she's grown to love about the rockers is their strong sense of identity, one that seems impervious to the Matrix's tendency toward a big, bright pop sound. "The band is so aware of what they are, and when you have an artist that's that strong, you can't pull them and homogenize them and make them sound like they're not. They're very opinionated about what they want."

That strong sense of self has made it easier to work with the guys as they try to introduce some more American rock styles to their sound, Spock said, while working hard not to lose that unique essence that has made them worldwide stars already. "The push and pull between the camps has been great," he said. "And I think the album will be great because of that. I'm going to look back on this in 10 years and say, 'Wow, I worked with Tokio Hotel!' "

Christy said TH came to the Matrix because they really liked the ballad they'd co-written with Avril Lavigne, "I'm With You," as well as their production on Korn's See You on the Other Side album.

"They like the sadness of that song and were really touched by it," she said of the Lavigne tune. "They like the Korn records too, but they said, 'We wouldn't do that, but it's really good. But it's not truthful to us as a band.' " So far, the Matrix have been co-writing all the songs they've worked on with TH for the album, and at press time, Scott said they had completed work on six of those tunes.

The album is tentatively due in late spring, according to Christy; a spokesperson for TH's label could not be reached for comment at press time. "Their confidence in knowing exactly who they are and what they're doing, given how youthful they are, is amazing," Spock said. "They definitely bring the dark side of the pop song, not like a Lamb of God record but with rock influences that will cross over to so many different kids ... and even some adults."

In addition to the TH album, Christy said the Matrix have been grinding away on Korn singer Jonathan Davis' solo debut, an album by "iCarly" star Miranda Cosgrove, the next Ashley Tisdale CD and the soundtrack to the rebooted "Fame."

Hamburg (ap) The new album by “Tokio Hotel” is expected to be on the market at the end of May or the beginning of June. “If Bill doesn’t come with more song ideas, then we`ll finish the album-production hopefully in the next six weeks”, producer David Jost said to the news-agency AP. Actually the song-writing was finished: “But now Bill and Tom have written two new songs last week”

Singer Bill Kaulitz and his twin-brother Tom have recorded their own demos of the songs in their little home-studio in their apartement in Berlin and sent them then to Los Angeles, where the album is mixed at present.

“As the band traveled so much in the last three years and lived out of a suitcase, they are happy about every day, they can spend at home in Germany”, the manager of the Kaulitz-brothers said, who became famous with the song “Durch den Monsun” and rank now at one of the most successful German rockbands.

So the songs were reworked in a three hour video-conference, and Bill have sung them in a studio in Hamburg. Via ISDN they were recorded then in Los Angeles, Jost explained.

There are Rumours that say that English and the German album will be released at the same time or with a few days in between.On Tokio Hotels official Myspace site is standing: ”info about Tokio Hotels new single will come soon. So keep checking out our page”!

Hello <3

Here are some pictures from Bill at the aftershowparty from Oliver Pocher's comedyshow. 

What do you think of Bill's new looks?
Tell us your opinion in the guestbook!

- ' What happened with the looks of our beloved Bill?' asked the website to the German Magazine 'Bild'.

- 'The singer of Tokio Hotel has a style that's the most feminine ever' the website continued.

The reason of the article is because of the photos that were taken of Bill and Tom Kaulitz on 07.03.09.

Bill was invited to watch the show of the comedian Oliver Pocher at RTV and at the Afterparty we could see the pictures of Bill with his hair pulled back in 'a Gothic ponytail'. That's how Bild Magazine calls it.

- ' With all the heavy make-up it's hard to see that Bill's a guy' Bild said.

During the evening, Bill got the question what keeps his feminine side going. The website says that Bill gave this answer: 'My bag. I've got it in a second hand shop a couple of years ago.

It was probably meant as a joke, But Bild did not get the joke.

Sebastian Böhm

Hairdresser, businessman, topologist and stylist with a passion.

Already in my childhood I’ve developed a conscious of wanting to be “different”, in which I am. So already during elementary school, I started to cover myself up in various cosmetic articles in which I ended up using almost daily. In addition to make-up and fancy clothes, I discovered my extravagant “existence” fast as well as the element hair  for my personality. So out of an idea became a hobby, and later a passion.

Right after I finished school, I started my training as a hairdresser and set my first steps into the media scene. Numerous photo shootings and live-appearances followed, and the life as a stylist became destiny.

Luckily, after my training as a hairdresser, I gathered up the courage to become independent and founded “Hairricane JT” with my charming colleague Jane Tholen. Since a couple of years now, I enchant my customers with extravagant and amazing hairstyles.

There were also a lot of well-know personalities and artists like "Debbie Rockt!", the boy group US 5, the ladies of No Angels and Monrose, boxer Natascha Ragosina and last but not least the Tokio Hotel singer Bill Kaulitz, in which our team also gave him a suitable styling and make-up along with that.

If you want to know more about me, then just visit me in our salon!

 Crazy musician hairstyles
Check out the most no notion looks of the stars

The ones who think that the extravagant looking are exclusivly of women: the leadsinger of the band Tokio Hotel loves to rock with his hairdo! In 2008, with a lot of spray, some says without wash and patience to bristle it all were caractheristics of his look. But in 2009, Bill resolved innovate with a hairdo full of dreads, mainly tied in a pony-tail. Which one is the craziest?

Tom Kaulitz, Trouble with the Police.

Der 19-Jährige Tom Kaulitz, Mitglied der Band "Tokio Hotel", hat angeblich eine Frau verletzt. Der Vorfall soll sich in der Nacht zu Donnerstag (16. April) auf dem Gelände einer Hamburger Tankstelle ereignet haben.

Das 21-jährige mutmaßliche Opfer hatte den Teenieschwarm in seinem Auto erkannt und an Toms Autoscheibe geklopft. Doch der Musiker ließ nur die Scheibe herunter, um eine brennende Zigarette aus dem Fenster zu werfen. "Die junge Frau will dann die Zigarette aufgehoben und auf der Scheibe des Fahrzeugs ausgedrückt haben", schreibt die Polizei Hamburg in einer Pressemitteilung vom 16. April. Daraufhin soll Tom Kaulitz aus dem Auto gestiegen sein, wurde angeblich gegenüber der Frau handgreiflich. Als die Polizei am Ort des Geschehens eintraf, soll sich der Musiker schon von der Tankstelle entfernt haben. Die Beamten konnten jedoch leichte Verletzungen im Gesicht der Frau feststellen. "Nach einer körperlichen Auseinandersetzung zwischen einer 21-jährigen Frau und einem 19-jährigen Musiker am späten Mittwochabend hat die Hamburger Polizei ein Ermittlungsverfahren eingeleitet", heißt es in der Pressemitteilung weiter. Tom Kaulitz hat sich bisher noch nicht zu dem Vorfall geäußert.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Short Translation:

Tom ,the 19 year old guitarplayer of Tokio Hotel,maintains his macho image. Now it appears that the teenie idol got caught up in a beating at a hamburger gasstation, as stated by the hamburger evening newspaper.

In the night of thursday, april 16, a 21 year old female fan, recognized tom in his car at a gasstation. She started to wildly pound on the window of his car. Tom did not think about getting out of his car or give his fan an autograph. Instead, he threw his burning sigaret out of the car. The fan picked it up and put it out against the musicians carwindow, tom got out of his car to set her straight. The 21 year old ended up with injuries on her head and a black eye, she had to be taken to hospital. The teeniestar has been charged with bodily harm. Until now Tom has not been interrogated by the police.

Pocher or Bill, who is cooler?
TV comedian Oliver Pocher (31) performed at the 6th DSDS show as Bill kaulitz from Tokio hotel.

"I am dedicading this song to myself", Pocher bragged saturday at the beginning of "Deutschland Sucht den Superstar". Later he gave a flashy show with "Durch den Monsun"- and fell on his back. Autsch!

Pocher took it with a laugh, but judge Dieter Bohlen (55) wasn't impressed. When Oliver Pocher was singing he left the room, to take a pee was said. The audience was boo-ing him for it!

Pocher goes to the next round. He already thoughtof a beginning for the next show and joked: "maybe Dieter can write me a song".

If Bill Kaulitz was impressed by Oliver's performance? Maybe he can learn something of it.

This is why they follow Tokio Hotel.
Where can the fan madness still bring these girls?

• They follow Tom (19) and Bill Kaulitz (19) from "Tokio Hotel" every step they make.
• They disguise themselves like criminals.
• They call themselves : Les Afghanes on Tour.
• They are from France, and follow the musicians for already half a year.

There names: Perrine (21), georgina (25), Aurore (21) and Noemai (20). Bild-reporter ask the girls that show thelmselves for the first time without disguise: Why don't you just leave the boys from "Tokio Hotel" alone?

"We aren't stalkers", claims Perrine. "We love the music and the lyrics. We haven't followed them, we just wanna know where and how they live. That interests us."

Among the extreme fans a contest has started, who can see the boys most often in a private situation. Videos from the chases from those so called fans are then put on the internet.

Perrine: "The special thing is that we wanna see Tokio hotel always and everywhere. The more often you see them the happier you get."

With perrine it even went so far that she moved from paris to Hamburg to be close to Bill and Tom. The foudn a job (doesn't wanna tell what) and found a house close to the one of the twins, and then started following them.

On 15 April it went too far when Tom lost his patience at a Hamburger gasstation and hit perrine in the face. The young woman pressed charges.

Shortly before the mother of Bill and Tom would have been attacked by the "Afghans". The girls claim this is not true.

Noemai: "The mother from Tom has attacked us - with a cola bottle". The incident would have happened in front of the house of Bill and Tom where the "Afghans" were waiting for the twins.

What do they want next? There lawyer Burkhard benecken (33) to Bild: "An apology and compensation. We want at least 10.000 euro."

The mangement of the band didn't want to respond yesterday to the girls claims.

Jetzt spricht die Mädchenbande
Darum verfolgen wir Tokio Hotel

Wohin treibt der Fan-Wahn diese Mädchen noch?

• Sie verfolgen Tom (19) und Bill Kaulitz (19) von „Tokio Hotel“ auf Schritt und Tritt.
• Sie vermummen sich wie Gewalttäter.
• Sie nennen sich „Les Afghanes on Tour“ („Die Afghanen auf Tour“).
• Sie kommen aus Frankreich, sind seit einem halben Jahr hinter den Musikern her.

Ihre Namen: Perrine (21), Georgina (25), Aurore (21) und Noemai (20). BILD-Reporter fragten die Mädchen, die sich erstmals unvermummt zeigen: Warum lasst ihr die Jungs von „Tokio Hotel“ nicht einfach in Ruhe?

„Wir sind keine Stalkerinnen“, behauptet Perrine. „Wir lieben die Musik, die Texte. Verfolgt haben wir sie nicht, wir wollten nur wissen, wo und wie die leben und wohnen. Das interessiert uns.“

Unter den Extrem-Fans ist ein Wettbewerb entbrannt, wer die Jungs am häufigsten in privaten Situationen sieht. Videos von wilden Verfolgungsjagden stellen die so genannten Fans dann ins Internet.

Perrine: „Das Besondere ist, dass wir ,Tokio Hotel‘ andauernd und immer sehen wollen. Umso häufiger man sie sieht, desto glücklicher ist man.“

Bei Perrine ging der Fanatismus so weit, dass sie vor zwei Jahren sogar von Paris nach Hamburg zog, um Bill und Tom nah zu sein. Sie fand einen Job (sagt aber nicht, als was) und nahm sich eine Wohnung in der Nähe der Zwillinge, fuhr den beiden ständig hinterher.

Am 15. April gipfelte der Fan-Irrsinn an einer Hamburger Tankstelle, als Tom die Nerven verlor und Perrine ins Gesicht schlug. Die junge Frau erstattete Strafanzeige.

Kurz zuvor soll die Mutter von Bill und Tom von den „Afghanen“ angegriffen worden sein. Die Mädchen bestreiten das.

Noemai: „Die Mutter von Tom hat uns angegriffen – mit einer PET-Colaflasche.“ Die Auseinandersetzung soll sich vor dem Hamburger Wohnsitz von Bill und Tom zugetragen haben, wo die „Afghanen“ auf die Zwillinge gewartet hatten.

Was wollen die Französinnen jetzt? Ihr Rechtsanwalt Burkhard Benecken (33) zu BILD: „Eine Entschuldigung und ein Schmerzensgeld. Wir werden mindestens 10 000 Euro einklagen.“

Das Management von „Tokio Hotel“ wollte sich gestern nicht zu den Aussagen der Mädchenbande äußern.

Tokio Hotel design for H&M!

End of the story. They won’t talk about this topic again. The boys from Tokio Hotel, citizens of Hamburg and idols of teenagers across the world, don’t want to be confronted with the agressive fan observations anymore. Manager David Jost said: “We belive that the stalking topic henceforth may be reconditioned solely by legal means.” But the successful musicians from Magdeburg, who won the Award for Best Newcomer in 2008 at the MTV Video Music Awards, don’t want to hide. Abendblatt found out that singer Bill and guitarist Tom Kaulitz (both 19), drummer Gustav Schäfer (20) and bassist Georg Listing (22) are participating in the new H&M campaign “Fashion Against AIDS”.

Here they are among the best (Musical-)Comapny. Internationally known artists like Katy Perry, Yoko Ono and burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese, have designed T-shirts, bodysuits, jersey dresses and tops, whose profits benefit AIDS projects. The sale begins on the 28th of May. “The designers recall the 80s look through white, bright and graffiti-inspired prints. The girls wear those to short skirts or washed jeans,” says H & M’s chief designer Ann-Sofie Johannson. “Guys look best with Chinos or colored jeans.” Flashback: It was the night on April 16th when there was a confrontation between Tokio Hotel Guitarist Tom Kaulitz and an obtrusive fan. The 21-year-old got wounded in the face. She had told the police that she recognized Tom Kaulitz, and that she wanted to take a picture of him. Then the guitarist threw a lit cigarette at her, which she expressed against the wheel of his car. According to the victim, the encounter ended in a brawl.

But what followed was a sort of “cry for help” of the band. For months, aggressive fans follow the successful musicians, who stormed the charts with hits like “Durch den Monsun”, told their manager the German Press Agency. “These girls are not masked fans, they are militant stalkers. That has nothing to do with Fan-Love anymore,” says David Jost. Supposedly a French group called “Les Afghans on tour” are already known for their attacks against the band. “They followed the boys and their families for months, therefore, the change of their permanent residence.”

Stalking (English: to Stalk, to creep up) denotes persistent pursuit in a mixture of jealousy and fanaticism, and is a criminal offense. In Germany it is up to three years imprisonment. Celebrities often pay a high price for their fame. It shouldn’t go this far with Tokio Hotel.

THE SALE STARTS ON MAY 28!

ORIGINAL

Tokio Hotel macht Mode für H&M

Klappe zu. Sie sagen nichts mehr. Die Jungs von Tokio Hotel, Wahlhamburger und Idole von Teenagern auf der ganzen Welt, wollen sich nicht mehr zu den Auseinandersetzungen mit aggressiven Fans äußern. Manager David Jost sagt nur: "Wir sind der Auffassung, dass das Stalking-Thema fortan allein mit rechtlichen Mitteln aufgearbeitet werden kann und muss." Doch abtauchen wollen die erfolgreichen Musiker aus Magdeburg, die 2008 bei den MTV Video Music Awards zur besten Nachwuchsband gekürt wurden, deswegen trotzdem nicht. Wie das Abendblatt erfuhr, sind Sänger Bill und Gitarrist Tom Kaulitz (beide 19) mit Schlagzeuger Gustav Schäfer (20) und Bassist Georg Listing (22) bei der neuen H&M-Kampagne "Fashion against Aids" (Mode gegen Aids) dabei.

Sie befinden sich dabei in bester (Musiker-)Gesellschaft. Ebenso wie international bekannte Künstler wie Katy Perry, Yoko Ono und der Burlesque-Tänzerin Dita von Teese haben sie T-Shirts, Bodys, Jerseykleider und Tops gestaltet, deren Erlös Aids-Projekten zugutekommt. Der Verkauf beginnt am 28. Mai. "Die Designs erinnern durch ihre weißen, hellen und von Graffiti inspirierten Prints an den 80er-Jahre-Look. Mädchen tragen die Teile zu kurzen Röcken oder ausgewaschenen Jeans", sagt H&M-Chefdesignerin Ann-Sofie Johannson. "Jungs am besten mit hochgerollten Chinos oder farbigen Hosen." Rückblick: Es war in der Nacht zum 16. April, als es an einer Hamburger Tankstelle zu einer Auseinandersetzung zwischen den Mitgliedern von Tokio Hotel und aufdringlichen Fans kam. Dabei wurde eine 21-Jährige im Gesicht verletzt. Sie hatte der Polizei erzählt, dass sie Tom Kaulitz erkannt habe und ein Foto von ihm machen wollte. Daraufhin habe der Gitarrist eine brennende Zigarette nach ihr geworfen, die sie auf der Scheibe seines Autos ausgedrückt habe. Nach Darstellung des Opfers endete die Begegnung in einer Schlägerei.

Doch was dann folgte, war eine Art Hilferuf der Band. Seit Monaten würden aggressive Fans den erfolgreichen Musikern, die mit Hits wie "Durch den Monsun" die Charts stürmten, nachgestellt, sagte ihr Manager der Deutschen Presseagentur. "Diese vermummten Mädchen sind keine Fans, sondern das sind militante Stalker. Das hat mit wahrem Fantum nichts zu tun", sagt David Jost. Angeblich habe sich eine französische Gruppe namens "Les Afghanes on Tour" zu den Übergriffen bekannt. "Die Musiker und ihre Familien wechseln deshalb seit Monaten ständig ihren Wohnsitz."

Stalking (aus dem englischen to stalk, anschleichen) bezeichnet hartnäckiges Verfolgen in einer Mischung aus Eifersucht und Fanatismus und ist ein Straftatbestand. In Deutschland stehen darauf bis zu drei Jahre Haft. Prominente zahlen oft einen hohen Preis für ihre Bekanntheit. So weit soll es bei Tokio Hotel nicht kommen.

Hello everyone!
Tokio Hotel wants to thank everyone for voting for them at the comet awards 2009.

'Hi people, Thank you so much for all of your voting support. It makes us really proud that we also won a comet this year. "Best onlinestar" is something really amazing and we hope that we can thank all of you with our new album soon. See you all soon!!!'

and to tell you carefully the entire story kind of stinks, to say the least. The fact is: Tokio Hotel are bringing out their new single, with a delay, and a new album soon.

flipsyde: until the summer of 2008, there were only 3 members, and they were pretty much unsexy. after a smart move, in the style of the B.E.P, they brought in Chantelle, a pretty eyecatcher but they still have not had their breakthrough. their single "when it was good" is absolutely dissapointing and is a bad incite for the second album "state of survival"(a fitting name) that will come out soon.

in short: Tokio Hotel has a strong interest, to get people talking about them again. Flipsyde want (and have to get) some attention in the first place. what is, (looking at this from a marketing point) easier then some promo together? as brotherly help for both acts, who are signed at the same label.

when you think about the fact that Tom has been labeled with the "Mister Lady Lover image" a few years now
and Chantelle's voice is a contribution to flipsyde, but her looks are getting more attention, (for instance in the recent FHM) then the "flirt" can not be much of a coincidense.

apropos coinsidence:
The photo, which Bild used for the first story ( see screenshot below) does not look like a paparazzi photo, but more like a obviously well lighted foto out of a Bravo photoromance. the photo is totally sharp, extremely well lighted and shows both of the "main characters" in wonderfully trusted poses with big smiles on their faces. all a coinsidence?

it gets even more strange: while Tokio Hotel most of the time make themselves almost invisible
(on one side perfectly well hiding from paparazzi and on the other side when they go out in public very well protected by their bodyguards), the photo of Tom and Chantelle is made from upclose, without security there and must have been noticed by the lovebirds and then of all places ended up at Bild in Berlin all the way from Los Angeles.

besides, Bild.de is not mentioning the photographer or the agency. it is unusual that a paparazzi would leave out his name, when the photo can be marketed worldwide, when other media know, how to get a hold of the photo.

still a coincidense?

it goes on: the night of the same day ( june 3th) a promo newsletter send out by Universal Records
had the following Teasertext in it: besides the new album, "State of survival" which will be in stores around here in the summer time, Chantelle will talk about the theme flirting and love. as Bild mentioned today, the blonde singer has been getting close to Tom Kaulitz of Tokio Hotel.

logically, stars never explain that love is a private issue.

and logical, that Bild on june 4th had an interview with Chantelle, with a sexy photo of the singer,
a confirmation about the date with Tom, but also with a sort-of denial, that more was going on between them, because of the fact that Tom has such a bad reputation and is a casanova. what Chantelles friends in the States seem to have heard about.

everything clear? we will say it very carefully: Iloveradio has a slight doubt,a really slighty one, that there are (short-term) real feelings behind this date story. what do you think?

Original message:

"Tiefe Blicke – noch ein Drink! Die Hand auf dem Knie – noch ein Drink! Ab ins Hotel – noch ein Drink?"

In der letzten Woche berichtete die BILD-Zeitung zweimal über einen angeblichen Flirt von Tokio-Hotel-Gitarrist Tom Kaulitz mit Chantelle Paige, der neuen blonden Sängerin der US-Band Flipsyde, in Los Angeles/USA - und Medien und Fans weltweit sprangen gierig und völlig unkritisch auf die Story an.

ILOVERADIO.de ist nicht ganz so leichtgläubig - und hat sich in den letzten Tagen mal ein paar Gedanken über den angeblichen Chantelle-Tom-Flirt gemacht.

Um es vorsichtig zu sagen: Die ganze story riecht ziemlich streng.

Fakt ist: Tokio Hotel veröffentlichen bald - mit leichter Verspätung - weltweit eine neue Single und ein neues Album.

Flipsyde - bis Sommer 2008 zu dritt und ziemlich unsexy - haben trotz des schlauen Schachzugs, sich im Stil der Black Eyed Peas mit Chantelle noch einen hübschen Blickfang ins Boot zu holen, den ganz großen Durchbruch noch nicht geschafft. Ihre Single "When It Was Good" dümpelt für die Macher völlig enttäuschend vor sich hin und ist ein schlechter Anheizer für das zweite Bandalbum "State Of Survival" (Sehr passender Name!), das bald erscheinen soll.

Kurzum: Tokio Hotel haben ein starkes Interesse, wieder ins Gespräch zu kommen, Flipsyde wollen (und müssen) überhaupt erstmal ins Gespräch kommen. Was liegt da - kaufmännisch betrachtet - näher als gemeinsame Promotion? Zumal als Bruderhilfe von zwei Acts, die beim gleichen Label unter Vertrag sind...

Wenn man dann noch bedenkt, dass Tom bei TH seit Jahren mühevoll das Image des Mister Lady-Lover aufgedrückt wurde und Chantelle Flipsyde sicher auch mit ihrer Stimme bereichert, aber vor allem durch ihre optischen Reize für Aufsehen sorgen soll (z.B. in der aktuellen FHM), dann wirkt der "Flirt" auch nicht wirklich zufälliger...

Apropos zufällig: Das Foto, mit dem BILD die erste Story bebilderte (siehe auch den Screenshot oben), wirkt kein bisschen wie ein Paparazzifoto, sondern mehr wie ein aufwändig ausgeleuchtetes Foto aus einem BRAVO-Fotoroman. Das Foto ist total scharf, extrem gut belichtet und zeigt die beiden "Darsteller" in wunderbar vertrauten Posen mit breitem Lachen auf dem Gesicht. Alles Zufall?

Es kommt noch kurioser: Während sich Tokio Hotel sonst fast unsichtbar machen können (sprich sich einerseits perfekt vor Paparazzi verstecken bzw. sich andererseits in der Öffentlichkeit gekonnt von Bodyguards abschirmen lassen), ist das Foto von Tom und Chantelle offenbar völlig unbehelligt aus nächster Nähe und garantiert bemerkt von den Turteltäubchen entstanden und dann von Los Angeles ausgerechnet zu BILD nach Berlin gekommen...

Obendrein benennt BILD.de den Fotografen bzw. seine Agentur nicht. Ungewöhnlich, dass ein Paparazzi auf die Nennung seines Namens verzichten würde, wo er das Foto doch weltweit vermarkten könnte, wenn andere Medien wüssten, wie sie an das Foto herankommen.

Immer noch alles Zufall?

Weiter geht's: Noch am Abend des Tages (3. Juni) der ersten BILD-Story veröffentlichte Universal Records einen Promo-Newsletter mit folgendem Teasertext:

"Neben dem neuen Album 'State Of Survival', das bei uns im Sommer in die Läden kommt, wird Chantelle sicher auch über das Thema Flirten und Liebe plaudern. Wie Bild heute berichtete, ist die blonde Sängerin in L.A. Tom Kaulitz von Tokio Hotel näher gekommen."

Logisch, das Thema Liebe erklären Stars ja auch nie zur Privatsache...

Und logisch, dass BILD selbst am 4. Juni gleich ein Interview mit Chantelle am Start hatte - mit einem sexy Foto der Sängerin, einer Bestätigung des Dates mit Tom, aber auch gleich mit einem Mehr-oder-weniger-Dementi, dass da mehr zwischen beiden laufen könnte, weil Tom doch so einen "ziemlich krassen Ruf" hat und ein "Casanova" ist, was sich schon bis zu Chantelles Freundinnen in den USA rumgesprochen hat...

Alles klar?? Sagen wir es einmal vorsichtig: ILOVERADIO.de zweifelt leicht, ganz leicht an den (selbst kurzfristig) wahren Gefühlen hinter dieser Date-Story. Was meinst du?

Exclusive interview, Chantelle about TH-Tom!

The Flipsyde singer Chantelle told us about her meeting with Tom Kaulitz. Is Tom her type? what did they talk about? you will get the answers here.

the image tells us already:
Chantelle Paige , singer of the band Flipsyde and Tokio Hotel guitarplayer Tom Kaulitz had a lot of fun when they bumped into eachother in a bar in Los Angeles.

and how did that meeting go? what did the two of them talk about? and is Tom Chantelles type? in an exclusive interview she told us.

Did you know Tom already before this meeting, or had you heard about him and Tokio Hotel already?
C: I had never met Tom before, it was a pleasant surprise. I had heard of Tokio Hotel before and I knew their songs. they are extremely talented boys.

how was your first impression of Tom at the Hotelbar?
C: he is very big and impressive. I totally like his style, it is very unique, not to mention his adorable accent.

what did you talk about?
C: we talked a lot about music. and I told him about my band, Flipsyde and about our album that is coming out (state of survival). he said he had seen the video to our single: when it was good and that he liked it, which was really very sweet. then he asked me which german words I knew (Flipsyde had toured 6 weeks with Sarah Connor) and after I told him a few of the german words I knew and messed them up, he corrected them and taught me a few new ones. and a lot more, we talked for a long time. he is so sweet and entertaining.

did you exchange numbers and do you plan on seeing eachother again?
C: ;-)

is Tom your type? and what is so special about him compared to other boys?
C: I dont really have a type,that attracts me optically. it has more to do with character. eventhough Tom looks really good, his personality confinced me of him. he is very curious and attentive. it was a lot of fun talking to him. and what makes him so special : he is extremely talented and motivated. it is hard to keep my attention, but somehow he keeps it. and we all know it is hard to keep Toms attention, but ;-) I dont really have to tell you that I am happy that we met?

Based on looks alone, Cinema Bizarre and Tokio Hotel don't seem to have too many similarities besides the fact that they're two of Germany's most popular bands and both seem to share a love of Japan. Yet on websites such as YouTube, it's easy to find comments about Tokio Hotel posted on Cinema Bizarre videos, and vice versa.

Cinema Bizarre came to fame in 2007 with their song "Lovesongs (They Kill Me)". If you think they look familiar, it might be because you've been exposed to "Visual Kei", a popular and androgynous rock style started in Japan. In 2008, they embarked on their first tour in Europe. Although they haven't reached as much international success as Tokio Hotel, they toured with Lady Gaga this past year, giving America another taste of Germany's finest.

Obviously, the rise of Tokio Hotel has been fast and strong, but Cinema Bizarre is not far behind. So why are some fans of one so not into the other?
"Cinema Bizzare is definitely unique, but they are entirely too far-fetched for me," said Brittany, a huge American fan of Tokio Hotel. "If they tried out for the Beatle Juice sequel, they would all get leading roles. Tokio Hotel on the other hand is definitely unique, but all in good taste. They all have their own distinctive styles, and I feel like they appeal to a much more diverse audience. Their looks are also authentic, and they are set apart from everyone else by nature, not because it was their intentions and that makes you appreciate them even more."

Ashley, a fan of Cinema Bizarre, said, "Tokio Hotel is nothing like Cinema Bizarre. You can't compare their music, their styles, nothing. Maybe you can put Bill in a picture with [Cinema Bizarre] and he'd look like he belongs, but you can't seriously say that about the rest of [Tokio Hotel]. Cinema Bizarre look more like characters, and everything about them reminds me of The Gazette or Alice Nine. Tokio Hotel isn't bad, there's just no comparison!"

Some may or may not agree, but Monica, a fan of both bands, also had an interesting point. "I think both bands are awesome. They both have great music, they both have extraordinary styles. I think they're kinda alike only from their style, but as you hear their music you can tell the difference. I also think that they are true to their fans about their music."

Whether or not fans can agree, Tokio Hotel and Cinema Bizarre seem to have made a lasting impression. As for my opinion ... excuse me while I escape to the stars, to infinity and beyond...

Tom's top 5 blog- abouts

Unless you've been enjoying your summer too much to surf the web, you'll know that Tom Kaulitz is going to start a blog.

I know what you're thinking- we're stoked, too!

And you might want to go here to see Tom's special video announcement on Cherrytree's website, or here to watch it on Youtube.

His blog officially starts tomorrow, July 3rd.

How fun will it be to get inside his head? Here are some topics we'd like to hear him blog about on a regular basis (in no particular order):

- Music Picks: Of course! As the resident hip-hopper of a rock band, I'm sure we'd all like to know what he's into. We know he likes Samy Deluxe and Aerosmith, but what else makes him get down like it's his birthday?

- Internet Hot Spots: I don't know about you, but I'd love to search his browser's history. It's always great finding out about funny or useful websites out there, especially from a major hottie! Wouldn't you flip to see your Tokio Hotel fansite on his list? Just a thought...

- Current events: These are almost always touchy subjects. Some of us would like to know just how aware he is of things going outside of Tokio Hotel Land.

- Chantelle: Duh! Not that it's any of our business, but since she has so much to say, we wanna hear something from the man himself!

- Randomocity: Stuff we didn't get to see, stuff we never knew. What celebrities they've met, cool past experiences. What in the world have they been doing? And we gotta hear about the new album, naturally!

Tom, if you ever read this, we will be reading faithfully. Good luck, and may your dictionary be with you!

Tokio Hotel, Limp Bizkit, Dire Straits and more...

Last year we brought you a countdown of the greatest band logos, now it's time to unveil the 20 Worst Band Logos Of All Time. From recognisable acts like Dire Straits, Spacemen 3 and Limp Bizkit through to obscure Deathcore bands, there's a plethora of aesthetically challenged band artwork to be found...

10. Tokio Hotel - A terrible logo that incredibly is nowhere near as bad as frontman Bill Kaulitz' haircut.

it is a photo, that hurts...

Drummer Gustav from Germany's most succesful Rockband "Tokio Hotel" shows Bild, how bad he got beaten up in a Magdeburger nightclub.

One guest hit the musician over the head with 2 beerbottles. Hurting him really bad.

"Gustav had to be stitched up in the hospital with 36 stitches." the police is pressing charges for dangerous bodilyharm.

One of the witnesses who saw the attack up close early sundaymorning in the Madgeburger disco "the Club" speaks.

"Gustav was talking to a girl": Stefan Bartel said. (name changed by the editors)
"all of a sudden a few guys were standing around them. One man with no hair on his head (skinhead) insulted Gustav. another guy came to them, and hit Gustav in his face, without warning. then a fight broke out between Gustav and the guy".

The eyewitness continues: "the one guy let go of Gustav, then came back shortly after that from the right, and hit Gustav with the beerbottle, again without warning. when he fell back, he got hit with the second bottle. Gustav fell down on the floor, the attackers fleed".

"The guests in the club got nervous. Gustav was bleeding from his head really bad, they took him to the restroom. shortly after the police and ambulance arrived".

Chef of the club Panos Kondogtis told Bild: "eventhough Gustav was hurt, he shook my hand and told me
that he was sorry about what had happened, but he could not help it. he was very uncomfortable".

The motive for the fight and the attackers are still unclear. "in this week we want to talk to 3 eyewisnesses, including the owner of the bar". 'the victim will be questioned as soon as possible as well", Police spokesman Stefan Brodtruch explains.

they will also try to find out if the attack has something to do with the problems Tokio Hotel has been having with the Stalkergang from France. The gang had attacked the mother of Bill and Tom in the spring in front of their house.

The police is still looking for the offenders.
The vicious beerbottle attack at Tokio Hotel drummer
Gustav- six days later the police is still looking for the offenders.

Now Gustav talks about it for the first time.
Bild met him in his the basement of his fav bar "koko" in magdeburg.

He says: "my head still hurts. The entire thing has brought on a lot of commotion".

He can not remember exactly what happened.
The witness interrogation is still going on.

Police spokesperson Frank Küssner: We still do not know
the names of the offenders yet.

 
By the way, I told Gustav yesterday that you guys left him so many greetings in the comments. He was super happy about that and sends you guys „best wishes“ back. Everything will be OK – only the stiches seem to itch a little – so please don’t worry!
