:D

Kay: And I will do an interview with him. No, with Bill! What is up with them, actually? Have you heard about them?
Sascha: No no, I´ve just seen a couple of photos, now they are blogging and so. He has a new tattoo, and a new tattoo, and then a new piercing ..
Kay: But we don’t hear about them anymore, hm? Tokio Hotel ..
Sascha: Well they are about to work on their new album or something.
Kay: Really?
Sascha: But your were big friends before, what happened?
Kay: I haven’t called them for 6 months or something, and then their cell phone numbers didn’t work anymore. Bill, if you are watching Bravo Web TV with Kay One and Sascha right now, can you .. just call Bravo, alright? Because if I’d say on Facebook, I’d get such a spam again. Uhm, you think he’s watching?
Sascha: Sometimes he watches ..
Kay: Bill, honestly, I am in America very often now, I know what women you know there (laughs) call me, okay? It’s important, we have to talk about some business connections and so on ..

Tokio Hotel

Yet another subgenre spawned by traditional rock and roll is pop rock, and Tokio Hotel has it down pat. One of the youngest German bands around, it was formed in 2001. After releasing a couple of albums in their native language, Tokio Hotel came out with its first English-language album, Scream, in 2007. Rather than original material, the album consists of translations of songs from their two previous hit albums.

While their English album didn’t impress critics much, fans loved it, and Tokio Hotel won the Best New Artist award at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. They’ve since gone on to win many other awards for their music, and have become one of the most popular bands in Germany, and around the world.

Wonder what it is like to make world news every time you change your hair?

Here is some interviews and clips from back in the early days of Tokio Hotel.

I love how their sarcasm and humor shines through.

“I Like it Loud!” Gustav from Tokio Hotel

Tokio Hotel drummer Gustav (17) rarely opens up in interviews – (he) rather let’s his band mates do the talking. Now he’s making an exception for BRAVO – and very openly talks about his life

Gustav’s role models are heavy bands like Metallica, Motörhead and System Of A Down

Band picture: Tom (16), Bill (16), Gustav (17) and Georg (19) during their legendary appearance at Amsterdam’s rock club Paradiso in the beginning of June
Gustav with headphones picture: Heavy, loud sounds are blaring from his headphones most of the times
Gustav with fans picture: Gustav and his fans: they love him because he’s so natural and down-to-earth

“I was the funny one with the big gob!”
“I’ve only really been in love twice.” “I’ve started to drum underneath our dining table.”

By Gustav
The earliest memory in my life is from a fall! I’ve been riding a tricycle and a wheel suddenly broke off in a bend. I fell over and cried because the tricycle was totally broken. All of this happened in Magdeburg where I grew up – in a single-family house with a little garden. I’ve got one sister – she’s older. She only lives 500 metres away from us. We often talk on the phone. Sometimes I drop by at her place in the afternoon. Then we’ll drink tea and chat for a bit. She’s also been given me flirting advice before. Once I really liked a girl that was always standing at the bus stop with me in the mornings. My sister then told me what would be the best way for me to get to know her. However, it didn’t work out. I just didn’t have the guts to talk to her. Currently I also don’t have a girlfriend. Just because there’s no time for it. I’ve only really been in love twice anyway. Unfortunately one of them already had a boyfriend – and even though I had been together with the other one, it was only a long-distance relationship. She lived 13 kilometres away from me. You couldn’t just drive there without a car. So we broke it off eventually. With girls I pay a lot of attention to the eyes and the face.

However, the hair colour absolutely doesn’t matter to me. I was always the funny one with the big gob in school. Now I’m a bit quieter but sometimes I turn it up on the tour bus. I’ve already been playing drums back then (in school). My musical career started underneath our dining table – during the evening meal. Back then my father was listening to t a lot of Eric Clapton, Phil Collins and Led Zeppelin. He filled the whole house with their sounds. And so I started to drum along. My father immediately registered me when a music school opened in our neighbourhood then. Of course there were also times when I couldn’t be bothered with practising anymore. However, nowadays I’m glad I went through with it because playing live really is the coolest thing for me. And I can also be funny on stage: once I knocked over the stool right in the middle of a concert and had to continue playing the song while standing up. That really was a laugh for the fans…
