So much for media smear campaign- Tokio Hotel falls over their own fans…
Due to the release of “Humanoid City Live”, the CD and DVD of Tokio Hotel’s latest big tour, we asked, without any sense of guilt and admittedly without thinking much about it, if the Humanoid City Tour maybe has been a flop. And this question we got asked by many fans, with reason. To write Tokio Hotel off is idiotic, but it’s idiotic as well to allege “the media” a smear campaign. How did it come to questions about Tokio Hotel’s future?
Tokio Hotel was a sensation for a couple of years, correspondingly was reported about Tokio Hotel. There have always been blatant beasts, but the tenor was positive, and when the quartet even began to animate little girls in France to learn the german language, a patriotic-euphoric wave swashed through the german media scene. But with that it wasn’t enough: Tokio Hotel got famous in more and more countries, millions of CDs could be sold, between 2005 and 2007 it seemed that there weren’t any borders which could have remained closed for Tokio Hotel.
That’s the initial situation from which is made a judgement about Tokio Hotel’s further successes. There are – as always – trouble makers, but the band has achieved what they could achieve, even more, and that gets accepted. For a management such a band is a fortunate coincidence, of course, but such a hype, if it’s ended, is considered to be a quite difficult matter. From our perspective, the team of Tokio Hotel reacted clever and circumspectly, for example they didn’t simply threw another album on the market, the following album should at least satisfy the critics. So they took time and professionals in every field – even for the show of their world tour they booked with Jim Gable a star of the industry. When “Humanoid” was released in October 2009, the album brought the wanted result at first. The criticisms were – predominantly – extremely positive, even the chief editor of the culture pop magazine Spex aligned himself with Tokio Hotel, let the conversion into the adult pop industry through the nod, confirmed that everything was made rightly and predicted – what didn’t one predict all?
Also here wasn’t a media smear campaign, maybe a few “Mopperer” (sorry, I don’t even know what this word means in german xD I guess something like “trouble maker” :3), but they were not important. For a moment the hype about Tokio Hotel seemed to build on exactly there where the band had stopped a bit more of a year before, so to say a half eternity before. The hype lasted, until the first numbers of sales flied into the house. Tokio Hotel did lose fans, and the media, the mean media, had not got that, they still talked about yesterday’s hype and corrected their position quickly, maybe even overhasty. Next, they got messages from concert halls, which couldn’t get filled completely with fans anymore, while months before young women would have died of starvation and thirst for an autograph of Bill.
If you sight it like that, then Tokio Hotel was a flop indeed in the last time. At least a small one, admit it! And to even go one better: It was surprising that it’s Bill Kaulitz who didn’t live up to his role, but that’s a subjective perception of this story. He has an interesting style indeed and is a charismatic personage, but it was him, who was colorless in those gigantic structures and the stage show – in marked contrast to Tom, Georg and Gustav. The thing seemed too big for him, probably because of that he’s currently only in the media with some random crap. So, now you’re allowed beat us up once more!
Catania is inclined to the twins Bill and Tom The clubs and fans camps in the hot sun.
CATANIA. A car with tinted windows has space in the crowd. Here they are, the stars arrived. They are the stars of the moment. Are Tokio Hotel. The Waiting for a crowd of screaming girls came from all parts of Italy, most of whom spent the night in front of the stage of TRL just to be on the first row. In front of the same scene, a lot of guys have been waiting to open to buy only 300 copies of the new City Humanoid DVD - Live, filmed during a concert in Milan and published its world premiere at Catania.
Clara Vanessa Nadir, all teens come from Palermo to 4 am, but some girls come from Vicenza and Padova, which after 22 hours since Thursday. Umbrellas in hand to provide shelter and sunscreen to prevent burning, they waited until yesterday to 19 to see their heroes. The crowd also came from Catanzaro with a mad passion for the German band. The absolute devotion, in short, as the band yesterday, as advertised, there would be no show but simply presented the new DVD.
Only two of the four band members, but the most beloved, Bill and Tom Kaulitz, the twin group. Emo and rapper with braids. Gray T-shirt printed with vampire teeth, nails painted, makeup, dark, diamond ring and spots for singer Bill, red plaid shirt, tennis shoes, paint and braids for guitarist Tom. " Cleanse the face and the attitudes of the two teenagers next door.
Why did you choose to play in Milan on DVD for your tour?
Bill: "We've decided because it was the end of our tour. It was one of our best shows and the producer of this DVD did a beautiful job. In the recording, is the section on the racks at gigs where there are some very funny situations. We also love the Italian fans and we had the pleasure of running our own DVD during the stage in Milan."
First time in Sicilia?
"Unfortunately, I could not even see much: we had stayed thursday night and today (yesterday for those who read) started early, so we spent all day in the hotel. But here in Sicilia is incredibly hot. In Germany, this time the temperature is high, which is never here. " How does it feel to be the most successful German band of the last 20 years?
"We are very proud of this success, as it was not easy. Everything we do, when we woke up when we go to sleep, is linked to Tokio Hotel. At first only were the fans in our country, then our record company told us: "Now we will try in France, Italy, etc" .. Our life has changed completely in a short time. When we returned to school after a while , everything was different. Today, for example, no longer can be called a normal life. We have no privacy or can not go out with friends like everyone else and are always escorted by bodyguards. Initially, of course it was really strange. "
The craziest thing a fan has done for you?
"In front of our house there are always people waiting for our return.We returned very soon to Germany, and when we do, we stayed with our family and our dogs (we have four and two of them go on tour with Tokio Hotel) Sometimes there are crazy waiting for days in his own car and not have nothing to do with those who support us on a regular basis. Once, however, there was something really stupid happened. A girl climb to the third floor and entered through a window. In the end, of course, we took a picture with her. "
How important is the makeup and clothes to Tokio Hotel?
"Everyone - explains Bill - has always maintained his own style. I, for example, always dressed well and have always used this trick. Decision was not linked to Tokio Hotel. Our only rule is be yourself. " Projects?
"We're going to Asia and Latin America. As for the future after this period and the output of the DVD, well, wait and see. Our life is made of many surprises. When we were in school, everything was always the same every day was the same as above. The news continues, however, is what we love about Tokio Hotel.

Style Check – We've already seen Bill Kaulitz even with hand grenades around his neck, with skulls on his fingers and with many many other bling bling. Now there's a new fashion accessory at Kaulitz's or rather on the face of Kaulitz: the nose ring. Piercings in the face – well, this reminds us rather on animals. Hopefully Bill doesn't let lead himself around by the nose like that. And we also notice: In the matter of hair fashion, Bill seems almost old.

Stílusellenőrzés - Láthattuk már Bill Kaulitz-t kézigránátokkal a nyaka körül, halálfejekkel az ujjain, és még rengeteg féle bling-blinggel. Most egy új divatos kiegészítőt láthatunk rajta, pontosabban az arcán: Egy orrkarikát. Piercing az arcban - nos, ez inkább az állatokra emlékeztet minket. Remélhetőleg Bill nem fogja körbeszúratni az orrát, mint ez. És figyelmeztetünk: A hajdivatot illetően Bill a réginek látszik.
Ford.: GTH
Bill Kaulitz piercinget csináltatott: Most az orrsövényén fityeg egy karika
Nahát, mi csillog ott Bill Kaulitz arcán? Az "MTV TRL on the road" adása alatt, amit a múlt héten rögzítettek Spanyolországban, a Tokio Hotel énekese bemutatta az új arcdíszét.
De Bill nem is lenne Bill, ha egyszerűen az orcimpáját szúrattata volna át, mint sokan mások. Egy karikát válaszott az orrsövényébe, egy úgynevezett Septum-piercinget, amit gyaktan a medvéken és a bikákon is látni.
2006-ban az énekes egy interjúban mondta, hogy az anyukája nagyon mérges lett az akkoriban 16 éves fiú új tetoválása miatt: "Ezért nagyon stresszesek voltunk. Elege van a tetoválásokból meg a piercingekből. A következő alkalommal inkább nem kérdezem a tetoválásról." Milyen jó, hogy Bill Kaulitz már nagykorú... FORDÍTOTTA: RESETH @ Nia
TOKIO HOTEL TV
Haha! Pont most olvastam a kommenteket a YouTube-on. Amúgy az a nagyi 3:24-nél nem ismeretlen - ő Bill új barátnője, akit a forgatás után elhozott a buszmegállóból ;D
Tokio Hotel TV
Haha! Just read the comments on YouTube. By the way, the granny at 3:24 is not a random stranger – that’s Bill’s new girlfriend! He picked her up at the bus station after we had finished shooting this video ;D
Aztán, hogy mit szeretek:
-az erős pistát, a mákosgubát, a sárga villamost... xD nah jó komolyan:
Első sorban már inkább a zenéjüket, de az, ahogy a külsejükkel, a lényükkel, és minden tulajdonságukkal és munkájukkal megbabonáznak és nem utolsó sorban megajándékoznak mindenkit, ez valami felbecsülhetetlen. Velem volt a zenéjük, amikor örültem, amikor sírtam, amikor úgy éreztem mindennek vége egy-egy dolog miatt. Szerintem ennél több nem kell tőlük =)
Ezt a díjat Bridgitől kaptam <33 Nagyon köszönöm ezt is =) (L)

-nehezen nyílok meg mások előtt

Tényleg annyira jól esik ez a sok díj =) Annyira nagyon szépen köszönöm mindenkinek, aki úgy érzi és ítéli, hogy megérdemlem, vagy az oldal megérdemli ezeket a díjakat <333
