Tokio Hotel Strip Down
October 23, 2009 by Schnee
Like that headline? It got a lot of attention on our twitter. But really, we have ROLLING STONE to thank for it because they got to interview Tokio Hotel while the band has been here in the USA! And Bill and Tom did an acoustic performance of Automatic that brought a tear to many eyes at the fanclub.
“I got the idea for that song in the car. The song is about automatic feelings in a girl — she has no real love.” – Bill Kaulitz

I’ve made a new version of “Automatic” – it’s a parody song called “El Automático”, and it’s about an electronic device that everyone has got at home and controlls the amount of electricity used in the house and switches off automatically when too much energy is waisted.
Sounds funny, isn’t it?

Its weird, i mean, i looked at some of the comments that said- “it made me cry” and i went to listen to it thinking, oh i wont cry but im sure i’d really like it! Then, i just hear him sing the first word, and, i guess, my heart just dropped and tears formed because i’ve never heard anything like that, and i dont know, lol, it just made me so happy <3

This performance was absolutely breath taking.
It honestly brought tears to my eyes.
Bill’s voice is so beautiful, and you can see the emotion in his eyes when he sings.
They are just the most wonderful band in the world.
I mean, the meanings of their lyrics and their love for what they do…
Amazing.
I am proud to say that I am a Tokio Hotel fan.
And I wish that they would do more Acoustic Performances.
I think it makes the songs just that more special.

Bill has the most amazing, unique voice in the world… and Tom is out of this world on all of the things that he plays (piano too!) I love them for who they are, not for what they are and they are one of the most talented people in the world. Bill is amazing, if it wasn’t for them… this world would not be the same and we should all be very, very, thankful that they are here on earth. I love them so, so, much. thank you so much boys! this comes from a 12 year old too.

WOW. They are without a doubt the most talented pair in the business! It was so heartfelt and breathtaking. I so started crying!
That acoustic version shows all the haters that think Tokio Hotel is a “produced” band that they are anything but! They are so real and pure. Every time Bill sings, you can tell that he puts all of himself in it and that he loves what he does and feels every song. It was absolutely gorgeous.

I went completely speechless, he sounded AMAZING and even that is an understatement) I was grinning stupidly at the screen, watching him sing, it was like a pause in time

That performance took my freaking breath away! oh my gosh!
and as for imagining being sung to sleep by him, I actually had a dream about that once, NO JOKE. –> I had a terrible fever, and he insisted that I stay in bed, (well actually it was HIS bed in the tourbus. Don’t ask me how I ended up in there LOL) and started singing some German lullaby (or at least that’s what it sounded like) to help me fall asleep. It was SO perfect, until Tom came in and started yelling the lullaby, and then Bill was like wtf, get out of here! Then I woke up, and was like noooooooooo :( It was only a…d r e a m *sigh* <33333

EXACTLY, the guys need more promotion here.
We should all bombard Rolling Stone’s site with requests for a COVER, IN DEPTH INTERVIEW & PHOTO SHOOT. I posted a wink and a nudge comment to their sales & marketing dept. that every American fan would buy at least one copy! ha ha (I subscribe and I would still buy a copy off the stands.)
Oh yeah, and that acoustic performance was breath taking. :)
