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.

X K.
Some ppl try to dodge the reality of how great the band is... well *pats TRL staffs on the back* Its okay. We know. And we love them!
Woot.
Thanks for having them on the show, though I have no ideaaaaaaaa when this episode will be shown here in Asia.
Btw, im 19 XDDDDDDDD
They look amazing, I'm glad Bill is back and ready to rock!
And BTW I'm in my mid-20's and the fact that i don't care anymore and don't have time to be a die-hard fan like those who pileup and scream histerically doesn't mean i don't absolutely love their tunes! So, stop generalizing audiencies and be respectful of 14+ year olds.
hard Rock (Y)
I'm from Sweden and must say that here in Europe there are a pretty different age at all the fans, but in US it seems to me that most of the fans are in the same (or even older) year than the boys. So, to call the fans tweens or screaming-14-years-old girls don't really fit...
There is something really speciall about this band, you will notice it soon (if you haven't already). Their personallitys and the way they care about all their fans, their amazing song and meaningfull lyrics is just the best I've ever heard! I'm proud to be one of their fans! :)
Ich liebe BILL K, TOM K, GEORG L & GUSTAV S FÜR IMMER
I dindn't understand the whole aricle because my Englisch isn't realy great (I'm from the Netherlands).
I don't understand what's wrong whit Toms hat :P. I'm sorry...
I realy like Tokio Hotel. On the 14th of June this year I go to a concert from Tokio Hotel Nijmegen. I realy look forward to it. It's my second Tokio Hotel concert.
It is realy good news that Bill can sing again after his surgery.
Ps.: I am 16 years old so what's with the 'screaming 14-year-old girls'?
So please do your homework, watch some of their youtube videos (performances and interviews) and you will better grasp the importance of this phenomenal group and stop insulting them (frontman not frontboy w/porcupine hair! geez)
TH fur immer
and its fantastic even though i already know al the songs

TH: hope everything goes well there on the States but we're waiting for you here in Europe...and me, of course, in Portugal, where I'll see you soon!!! Till then...take Care!!!

Just wanted to thank you for letting TOKIO HOTEL be on your show TRL. Their performance was amazing and I'm glad to see that Bill is recovering from his surgery.
I'm 18 years old and I absolutely love TOKIO HOTEL so please stop referring to their fanbase as 13-year-old/tweens. This band DESERVES more RESPECT because of the struggles they've been through in order to get to where they are now.
Bill, Tom, Gustav, and Georg, YOU'RE FANS LOVE YOU AND SUPPORT YOU IN ANYTHING THAT YOU WISH TO DO WITH YOUR MUSIC. KEEP ON ROCKING AND PROVING ALL THOSE PEOPLE THAT PUT YOU DOWN WRONG!
Everyone, go buy TOKIO HOTELS CD! It's awesome! And don't miss them May 9th on Conan O' Brian!
Bill, I Love You! Marry Me? LOL ;D
and as all ways...tom and bill looks really adorable...plust kewl in every way!!!!!
I wish i saw them in person again because it was kewl!!!!!!
seriously majority of their fans are so NOT tweens. tweens are those little kids all over Zac Efron who couldn't even compete against Bill!!
and Tokio Hotel when are you going to start paying attention to the rest of the world?? not all your fans live in the US :( like me.
