Tom Kaulitz: I have sex in my voice

Tagged With:

Gosh, Tom is adorable! MTV.com has a new article about the recording process for Humanoid. In it, Tom talks about why Bill is the singer and not him. As always, the twins Kaulitz bring their humor into the situation. Comments on MTV articles are always welcomed, and noticed. Tokio Hotel Wink

MTV.com: Tokio Hotel are bringing their fans inside the studio once again with another exclusive, behind-the-scenes clip provided to MTV News. In the video, the pop-rockers are working on Humanoid, due October 6.

Speaking from the Los Angeles studio where they recorded the Scream follow-up, lead singer Bill Kaulitz discusses having to sing in German and English. “They have to do this super complicated thing: change the session … from German to English,” he explained. “Yes, constant switches. I believe no other singer has to remember so many different lyrics like I do. It’s only the third album, and I already have 10,000 songs.”

Meanwhile, Tom Kaulitz talks about the different dynamics he and brother Bill have in their voices, saying one thing separates them: “I have more sex in my voice,” Tom explained. “Actually, the decision [for Bill to be the lead singer] was because of the securities. The securities asked us for it, because if I sing, there would be an escalation at each show. To calm things down, we went with Bill.”

Tom also discussed how his brother has to work to remember the songs they are recording for when they hit the road. “He needs to remember everything for the tour. I actually did all of the recordings up to now,” he said. “He needs to learn everything for our tour, which is why we rented this studio. We’ll check it out, and hopefully he’ll manage the upcoming albums without me.”

He also talked about the time the guys in the band tried out different roles. “Bill was playing bass, because it’s the easiest,” Tom recalled. “He only had to play a few tones. Yes, I [played the drums. Drummer Gustav Schäfer], he sang, and [bassist] Georg [Listing] played the guitar. That was wicked. I think we performed [the Scream track] ‘Monsoon,’ didn’t we?

“[Gustav turned it into hardcore metal] to cover [the fact] that he can’t sing,” Tom continued. “I was perfect. Like a clockwork. But the others messed it up.”

    Bill is the ultimate singer and front-man for the band. George is incredibly talented and has a genuine sound. Gustav is the quiet one but has a great talent when playing the drums, Tom is talented but sometimes sounds like he is the main event. Great going Boys, You Ultimately Rock.

    Tom has the healthiest ego ever! He’s very self confident. And I’ve never seen them look so alike.

    In that video all I could pay attention to was Tom drinking JAMBA JUICE. I WORK THERE…his drink was yellow…I bet he was drinking a Mango a Go-Go…hehe..and what’s funny is I always thought they would like Jamba cause they love fruit and its sweet. We have an underground drink called the SKITTLES taste just like a red skittle, I always think of the twins when I make it.

    bass is actually harder than it looks…you have to press really hard on the thicker strings so the right note sounds. so Bill must have strong fingers ;)

    they should try performing like this, we’d all love it!!!

    Haha, just keep telling yourself that. ;D
    Bill’s voice has total potential and emotion. :DD
    Gustav, I think, can totally rock it out on the microphone. (:
    Georg can shred the guitar and bass any day. xD

    NICE. 8)

    but, I beg to differ, Tom.
    Bill has plenty of sex in his voice-
    actually, it wreaks of pure sex.

    sorry.
    lol

      totally. my favorite thing about his voice is that he can make it so soft- not as in soft or loud but just the tone. especially in monsoon, when he sings “end of time” and “hurt.” and he’s doing this on the new song snippets too.

    If these guys ever decide to break up the band, I think Tom and Bill have a future in comedy.

    Great article, and it really shows them just working. They put so much into this. People can really see their dedication.

    You know you’re a Tokio Hotel fan:

    When your four year old son, sitting in your shopping cart at the grocery store, breaks out with ‘There’s no real love in you’ from Automatic!

    The first thing I noticed was how much the twins actually look alike in those pics. “Sex in my voice?” Really, Tom? LOL!
    What part of him would he really admit doesn’t have sex in it?

I love him. :) Tom playing drums…no surprise there. He’s good at everything he does. I friggin adore Tokio Hotel. They never fail to keeo me laughing at something. They are an amazing band.
