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.

thanks for the information.
They are amazing
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!!!!!!
Buck up, MTV!
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.
merry me
yippieeee
tokio hotel go gogo go!!!!!!!

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".
love u all guys!!
