Tokio Hotel Take Over Times Square
tokiohotel1

We like to think of ourselves as a mini United Nations here, so we were delighted when the nice young Germans of Tokio Hotel stopped by the office today, hair and all.

We were pretty shocked Tom would make the undiplomatic move of wearing a Red Sox hat here in Yankee town [Ed: WTF??], but the be-dreaded guitarist assured me he was “so pretty” people can’t really get mad at him. Sorry, Tom, they so can. Fortunately for him, there’s usually a pack of screaming 14-year-old girls (and one burly bodyguard) surrounding you at all times.

Anyway, the band’s English language album Scream drops here tomorrow — it’s already out in Europe, which is why so many shrieking American tweens have all the lyrics memorized. Anime porcupine/frontboy Bill said it was pretty weird recording songs in English that he was used to singing in German. His favorite track to do live off the album is title song, while twin Tom favors “Read, Set, Go!” But don’t worry — they agree on, like, everything else!

Much more on the band’s love of Rammstein, The Scorpions, and The Hoff to come here at MTV News. (Oh, yes, it’s true — they are that adorably lost in translation.) And more pics of the band’s visit, after the jump.

AHHH!!! and toms comment about the hat...sehr schlae!!! Tomi...du bist zurückgeblieben, aber das ist okay, ich liebe dich für immer...
  18. jeeze people calm down they arent refering to all fans as teens, they just said he probally has alot of 14 yr old girls chasing him, wich is true..



    but dang i cant believe that they are going to get so big!!

    but no matter what, they will always be my german band, thats famous in europe, ...

    i love being one of the US fans tho!
  19. I can't wait TRL and at the Virgin Megastore.
  20. Seriously...kudos to Tom. The Boston Redsox are sooooo much better than the Yankees any how. Though I do have to admit he has some pretty big coconuts to do that...not that any of his fan would care...
  21. Wat I meant to say was that. I can't wait to see them live at TRL and at the Virgin Mega Store.
  22. they rock my sox. love them boys sooooooo much!
  23. I'm soooo happy for them, they will make it big here. And I agree I'm not a tween at all I'm 24 years old and I LOVE LOVE LOVE Tokio Hotel, and trust me I have awsome taste in music!!! I've been on this earth long enough to know what good music is and Tokio Hotel deffinetly is awsome music. I'm so exited one week till I see them!!! And can't wait till tomorrow either!!!!
  24. Tweens & Adults both like this band. They're a talented bunch of young guys and the USA will embrace them wholeheartedly. They're fresh and alive so they'll be a smash hit here! Love em!
  25. I love their music! And Tom...lol...their english is so cute!
  26. I love Tokio Hotel
    thanks for the information.

    They are amazing
  27. i going to echo what everyone else has been saying. i'm 24 and have only been a fan for a couple months but I ABSOLUTELY F*** LOVE THEM. i even bought both their german cd's and can't what to get Scream.

    Tom is such a card I bet he did that just to have someone comment on it. LOL!!!
    i really wish they would stop trying to categorize TH they just don't fit. the boys are a unique entity all to themselves.

    TH für immer!!!!!!
  28. Gotta love Tom's conceited ways....;)
  29. Whoever wrote this article should know when to stop being patronising and start checking their writing for typos before knocking a group that's been around for years and probably will be for many more.
    Buck up, MTV!
  30. Thank you for featuring Tokio Hotel, MTV, it's great to see them in the music news. They are a very talented band with a huge fanbase that ranges from tweens to people in middle life; trust me I know fans from the whole spectrum :).

    They started off as cute teens in Germany, but they have grown up and into their music, which now definitely has the rock edge. I think their fanbase has grown up along with them as well as enticing more tweens and adults into the mix, and I hope they do really well in the US so they try the UK again.
  31. I love you Bill!!!


    merry me
  32. OMG! I heart Tokio Hotel, excepecially Bill Kaulitz. He is so hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And b the way I'm only eleven and I know some fns in their twenties so get your fact strait MTV!!!
  33. wohooooooooooooooooooooooo

















    yippieeee













    tokio hotel go gogo go!!!!!!!
  34. Ich liebe Bill! x]
  35. I LOVE TOKIO HOTEL!!! Can't wait for them on TRL, the will be sooo amazing! They are the best band to show up here in the states for a loooonnnnggg time! Love you guys! (come to FLORIDA!!!)
  36. I adore these boys and their music. They definitely have become a product more about money making than music. Though I think the boys really believe it is all about their music and for that you have to love them. Why else are there so many different version of their 5/6/08 release here in the States? Because the record company knows that many girls will buy a copy of each CD just to get the *one* different song on each CD. Brilliant! I know that the teen fans hate being called hysterical but they are. When you go to a Tokio Hotel concert you can barely hear Bill's voice over the screaming. I am not talking about the singing along with Bill but the random high pitched screaming and shrieking. I buy my tickets to hear the boys not all that teenage horniness coming out in a scream.
  37. yeah! i love them soooo much!!!!!
  38. and i AM their number 1 fan!!!!
    BILL I LOVE YOU
  39. MTV rocks. Thank you for this amazing band.
    Ich liebe Tokio Hotel fur immer.
  40. Lol no 1 fan.. YOU WISH :)
    F*** it I can't go to the TRL performance my cousin was gonna take me but she had to go to work and my friends weren't allowed to ditch school for this. I'll get them to record it lol.
    I'M GONNA GET MY F***IN HOLLISTER TOTE SIGNED I'M SO HAPPY :D
  41. tokio hotel are the best band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    bill i love youuuuuuuu
    please come to Bulgaria!!!
    :*******************************************
  42. Hey guys! Its great to see that there are soo many fans in the US who are older when 14:-)Cause it isnt true that TH Fans are only 14 years old!Great article.Great pictures!Please buy THs Album Scream,not only from downloads of the world wide web! Thanks.Then Tokio Hotel will really make it in the US!(sorry for my english but I gave my best)
  43. oh I also love these guys....I love Bill he is amazing and I agree with Jessica, Bill is a frontman !!!! yeah I'm a fifteen-year-old fan but I know that there are many funs who are older than me!!!of course there are!!!and I find it logical for girls of my age to start screaming whenever they see tokio hotel in front of them...!!!also their music is PERFECT and I love the lyrics of the songs...I 'm learning german for 6 years and I can understand most of them!!! I am from Greece and I WANT THEM TO COME TO GREECE!!!!THEY HAVE MANY FANS HERE I WANT TO GO TO A TOKIO HOTEL CONCERT HERE IN GREECE!!!!!

    Love u guys!!!
    Bill u are really special don't change at all!!!
    Ich liebe dich...
  44. they had a consert on ohio but now they dont have one yet so try to get one soon!!please i cant wait to get home watch TRL and go get the cd
  45. Did Bill actually talk today?
  46. they are the best band ever and I'm so happy that they have finally come to the states! I've been so lucky now to have seen them twice and can't wait till they come here on a regular basis. ^_^
    Don't be hating on my men!!
    Ich liebe Bill!!
  47. It's such a shame that media just put accent on the "pretty face with eccentric hair" without mentioning their music. I was also influenced by the media, and was even ashamed of trying to listen to the music of this so-called "boys band for pre-adolescents". However, once having seen their concerts in the Internet, I was totally captured by the energy they gave. Their music rocks, and the lead singer has a natural charisma, which can be called "talent" and not just "good looking", as a frontman (well, being hot helps but it's not all!).

    As a 30 years old fan, I'm really glad to have discovered this band (and not just believed what media said), and hope that the media would throw out their prejudice and take them seriously (or at least as a normal rock band) without labeling "boys band with 14 years old histerical fans".
  48. I'm also a fan in my 30's. This is one of the best international bands in the world and I personally think this article is insulting to them. It makes them sound like their fans are just boy crazy tweens and they have no talent. I am so thrilled they are finally coming to the U.S.. Way to go guys!!!
  49. I love TH and I'm 16! I live in Italy and not all their fans are screaming babies!! I'm very happy they came back soon!!!
    love u all guys!!
