Bild: have you ever taken a hearing test after all these years of girls screaming?

Tom: “No, but Bill and I have had bad hearing since birth. that is why we talk so loud”.
Bill: “Yeah, and if it has gotten worse, then the reason is that we listen to super loud music and it is not because of the screaming. That is the most awesome thing that exists. We like it, that our fans scream out their emotions”.

Bill: “yeah”.
Bild: no time?

Bild: what does she have to be like?

Bill: “I can not say anything about looks. with me it is love at first sight. I have to have the feeling right away, that I can trust her. and she should be spontanious and a positive look at life”.

Bild: how about the love lifes of the others?

G: “I have a steady girlfriend for about a year now”.
T: “Except for Georg we are all single. I have never been in love in my life so far. That has nothing to do with looks, there are a lot of pretty women. With me, the entire package has to be right”.

Styling by Bill Kaulitz

Bild has the same article in both their online and print edition about Bill and his fashion! Everyone is paying attention to Bill and his choices so far since promoting Humanoid. And why not? Hard to miss a super tall amazing fashionable German with a mohawk! Translation by xX-Bills Mäuschen-Xx, thank you so much!

Bill Kaulitz-Frontman from Mega-Band Tokio Hotel is always stuck by his extravagant styling. Recently, even more than usual ..

Dark eye make-up,perfect nail polished artificial nails.In interview with BILD.de he clears up things about his style,talks about his new film Arthur und die minimoys 2 and about his first kiss.

With its four-inch heels, he is almost two heads taller than the BILD.de editor. “I grew a bit, I’m 1.88 now,” says Bill by common photo,in the sitting position he prefers. “And for that I wear now heels!”

And not only that: the iroquis as hair,clothing by Christian Dior and Rick Owens (favorite designers of the Rockers, Madonna carries the mark of the American designer), lots of silver jewelry around her neck and leather gloves. Young man can sure put himself in center of attention.

BILD: Bill? Do you find yourself in what you wear?

Bill: «yes,definitely.For me that was important from the beggining.To have that freedom,to wear what I want. The biggest piece of freedom is my own body.I want to decide how I want to look like.To have a stylist who decides everything for me would be my biggest nightmare. I could never do that. For me it’s important that I feel comfortable and am not bored.»

BILD: Were you always so confident or you emancipated yourself over time?

Bill:»At the first meeting with our record company they wanted to give us stylists that should tell me how should I wear my hair. This was the first thing I deleted.I was 14 back then.In that area there were discussions from the beggining.»

BILD: Do you spent much money on clothes?

Bill:»It’s unimportant if my clothes are expensive or not.Before I didn’t have so much money so I did my own stuff,I sometimes do that today too.Or I draw something and than I make it. I have some jackets that cost $ 10. The main thing is it looks cool! ”

BILD: What other say about your style is unimportant to you?

Bill:”With Tokio Hotel, there were times when I could no longer hear the name. I could not see my own face, hair, everything.I could not take it amiss to others, if they felt like that.Than it came time for something else.Present myself differently.

BILD: Do you find yourself beautiful?

Bill:»I am not the one that stays in front of mirror and says:Woah you are so hot.Also when lot of them think I do that,that I think like that about myself.When another people say that I look good,I am happy of course.You can see that.»

BILD: How much time do you need in mornings?

Bill:»With showering, dressing, make-up I need an hour until I am styled.Of course there are days when I do not style myself.To go with this hair (pointing to his Iroquois)to the airport, would be a little exhausting.Then I put on a cap and I have no make up.At home I get up and sit in the jogging suit unshaven front of the TV – like everyone else. ”

BILD: In Arthur and the minimoys 2 you are speaking for the main character.He has his first kiss….

Bill:»Yes.To synchronize that in speech-cabin you have to kiss your own hand,so that can sound real.That is not nearly as romantic as comes across in the film. ”

BILD: When did you have your first kiss?

Bill:”I was 9 or 10.Tom and I kissed the same girl.He kissed her one day before me.I was one day late.It was terrible.I think that first kiss was really not good.I thought it was terrible.The second was better. ”

BILD: Do you want to take over the Hollywood next?

Bill:”Until now, there wasn’t proper role.I think it’s pretty hard to act.I have some experience in making music videos,but one whole film is a total different thing.When a right film comes than I could think of something.Films with vampires are my favourite.My dream as a child would be fulfilled if I had a chance to be in one.”

Bill Kaulitz in next part of Twilight?Teenie-star sure does have the right style to do that…

Bill Kaulitz – Miracle I am still alive

Oh man, even writing that headline made my tummy hurt. Bill Kaulitz speaks to Bild about his accident last week. Please pardon the google translation, when we have a better one, I will update this post.

Original German

Bill Kaulitz: “A miracle that I’m still alive” – He crashed his car into the guardrail
This horror accident has him marked for life!

Rock Star Bill Kaulitz (20) of “Tokio Hotel” ( “Automatic”) was advised last week on the A 24 in his Audi Q7 in a traffic accident and gebrettert (crashed into?) into the barriers. The car was a total loss.

Bill speaks exclusively about the accident and how he witnessed the crash.

The singer: “I think every day of the accident. I think I still need some time to process it. It sits pretty low. I thought I did not get out of there alive. I was definitely the death has never been so close! It’s a miracle that I’m still alive. At such moments, you realize what is really important and you learn to appreciate his life from scratch. ”

What exactly happened in the afternoon?

Bill: “I was sitting alone in the car and was on my way to Berlin. I am basically a very careful driver, never had an accident and never go too fast. Suddenly a car pulled without blinking on my trail. While dodging, I went into a skid.”

Bill stepped on the brake, tried in his Audi coming to a halt. Then he slammed into the barriers. Bill: “In a moment, just trying to save his life. With another car that could have turned go out. I have not worn them a scratch.”

What did Bill, as was the car?

Bill: “I immediately tried to get out of the car. I’m impressed with all the force the door via cell phone and called the police. I felt confused and was in shock. The police tried to reassure me on the phone.”

Bill’s relatives immediately went to Bill to Berlin in order for him to be there and calm him down.

Bill: “My brother Tom has made frantic worry. I was up all night again and again the images before my eyes and I have not slept. All have supported me and tried to build myself.”

Despite the shock experience, Bill Kaulitz came the next day at the MTV Awards in Berlin, received the award as contrary to “Best Band”.

Tokio Hotel producer and manager David Jost told BILD: “We have Bill strongly advised to cancel the appearance at the MTV Awards because of the accident. But even though the accident was a huge shock for Bill, he insisted on making the scene too.”

Early next year, Germany’s most successful rock band is back on the road on German roads, but this time not in the car, but in a giant tour bus. On 26 February to give them a big concert in Oberhausen on 28 February, they play a concert in Hamburg.

Birthday Tea Party

This is so cute and funny. There are several sources saying the same thing, this one is from topnews.de.

The singer of pop band Tokio Hotel, Bill Kaulitz, is keen for his 20th Birthday on September 1 to be a tea-party, including cream cakes. And it would be “cool” if the guests were all over 60, he told the newspaper Welt am Sonntag newspaper.

Bill’s twin brother and guitarist of Tokio Hotel, Tom Kaulitz, said of the unusual request: “Conversation with old people are completely off the beaten track. They have quite different thoughts. “

Although they are both almost 20, Bill Kaulitz feels that he will never grow up. But it’s all relative. Even at age 13 he thought that he could do anything, and would have felt old enough to go to clubs and drink alcohol. He had always felt older than he was, as portrayed by the music.

The third album from the successful band Tokio Hotel is called “Humanoid” and is yours on October 2. The first single, “Automatic” is released on September 18.

Bild – Sylt Island Interview

This interview happened in August 2006. Thank you to nicoletagenoveva for finding it and to HiKatieB for finding the translation
“377 days ago Tokio Hotel released their debut single “Durch den Monsun”. In between Bill (16), Tom (16), Gustav (17) and Georg (19) became the most successful pop band in Germany—and since Friday are ready with their fourth single “Der Letzte Tag”. BILD met the hit-quartet auf Sylt (island) for an exclusive shoot—and for talk on the dunes the four were up like sand fleas.”

Tom: We have sand everywhere- even in the tiniest cracks.

So would be the life on a lonely south sea island…

Georg: I could imagine a life in a Robinson Crusoe hut.

Tom: With out electricity and such?

Georg: Hmm… right. I would need a TV.

Who or what would you take on a lonely island?

Georg: Do twins count as one?

Tom: If I had the choice between a person or something material, I would rather take a person—that converses more than every television!

Bill: I would of course take my brother!

Tom: I would too, of course!

Would you take yourselves as a band?

Gustav: If I knew that I would come back, than I’d rather not!

If you were all four stranded together, who would undertake what tasks?

Georg: Gustav would worry about the fire, I would…

Tom: And I would…

Stop! Why should Gustav make the fire?

Gustav: Well, because first off, I am the only one who can do everything!

Georg: Gustav always has a little pocket knife with him.

Tom: Gustav is a little Robinson Crusoe, he is handy.

Gustav: That is correct!

Tom: … and he’s the only “Draußi” in the band. The rest of us don’t really like nature.

Gustav: Tom would be responsible for the lighthouse.

Tom: I don’t need a lighthouse—I am the sun substitute!

Gustav: Tom is simply out—and we all tan!

Bill: I’m not good for anything, and am definitely not handy.

Gustav: Bill can tend to the flowers.

On the island there is no McDonalds…

Bill: Maybe I would cook.

Gustav: You and cooking? Oh God…

Georg: Gustav and I would definitely build a raft with sails.

Gustav: … out of random stuff.

Georg: Gustav would be the hunter and us three the collectors. We would make the plan, and Gustav would see it through.

And as an experienced hiker Gustav could mime a scout!

Gustav: Actually, that’s a good idea, but because of my short sightedness I can’t see far. Do I need to take my glass to the island.

Bill: I would like to have the others serve me, it’s like that in everyday life—the others always carry my luggage.

Are you a little diva, Bill?

Georg: I wouldn’t say diva, but the word egotistical fits well!

Bill: Yes, I am very egotistical—that’s been so the last 6 years. The guys always have to get their stuff up on stage and put it together, I don’t know how to cable anything together!

Georg: You only walk around with you little microphone bag…

Bill: I never helped, I was always too lazy. I am happy that I always have my vocal cords with me and don’t need to bring anything else.

While the others are setting up, did you do your nails and style your self?

Bill: No, that was all already done, I sat and had something to drink.

And that never bothered you all?

(all talk wildly)

Gustav: If Bill touched my drums, I’d be really angry.

Bill: That was always nice of Gustav, the others always got annoyed.

Georg: Bill has the easiest job!

Bill: That’s so not true! You don’t have anything to do on stage.

Georg: No, ok, that’s true…

In September there are 3 birthdays: Bill and Tom will be 17, Gustav will be 18— how are you celebrating?

Bill: Tom and I kept our birthday free.

Tom: But 17 isn’t anything important, 16 is great, so is 18.

Bill: 17 isn’t nothing, but it isn’t anything great either.

Tom: Nothing new happens then. At 16 you get your ID, at 18 you can drive a car.

Now one can get their drivers license already at 17!

Tom: Yes, but you can only drive with your parents!

Georg: And only in certain provinces- in Sachsen-Anhalt that’s forbidden!

Bill: Tom and I want to start our drivers licenses so that we can drive away exactly on our 18th birthday!

And how are you celebrating reaching adulthood, Gustav?

Gustav: I’m starting my drivers course soon, but I think that number 18 is over valued. One is only a year older.

The New Fab Four

Bild.de has some great praise for Tokio Hotel’s win of Best Headliner at the EMAs. Well deserved praise. Have you guys all had a chance to see the video of the win that we posted in the earlier thread? Bill showed new meaning to the words “jumping for joy”. Here’s the Bild article… enjoy!

The new Fab Four just love Liverpool!

German teen rock sensations Tokio Hotel carried on their incredible year by landing the best live band gong at the MTV Europe Awards in Liverpool last night. Other big winners included comeback queen Britney Spears, who won two awards – ‘Best Act’ and ‘Album of the Year’.

Tokio Hotel scooped their prize in the ‘most impressive live band at a festival or on tour’ category, beating off competition from the likes of Metallica and The Cure.

In September, the young German rockers – whose hits include ‘Monsoon’ – were given the ‘Best Newcomer Award’ at the MTV Video Awards show in Los Angeles. Their winning streak continued at the MTV Latin Awards in Mexico.

“We are so happy, this is so crazy” said singer Bill Kaulitz (19) during his acceptance speech in Liverpool, famous for being the home of the original ‘Fab Four’ the ‘Beatles’. “You guys are the best,” he told his fans.

Tokio Hotel were also nominated for ‘Best Act of all Time’, but lost out to British pop star Rick Astley (42). The whole group – twins (Bill and Tom Kaulitz, Georg Listing and Gustav Schafer) – were all present at the awards, despite drummer Gustav recent crashing his car into a tram in Germany.

Britney continued her huge comeback, winning awards in two of the biggest categories, but was not present on the night and spoke to the 40,000 music fans in Liverpool’s Echo Arena by satellite: “It’s such an honour. Sorry I can’t be there, but have a blast!”

This year marked the 15th anniversary of the MTV Europe Awards show. Fans voted in the different categories by internet and phone and the ceremony was watched by 30 million fans worldwide.

TH Celebrate big win… Hollywood Style!

Tokio Hotel celebrated becoming the first ever German band to win an MTV Video Music Award on Sunday night fittingly, with a wild after party. Georg (21), Gustav (20) and twins Bill and Tom, who have just turned 19, talked to BILD from Los Angeles and shared all the details of the night.

Bill accepted the band’s ‘moonman’ trophy for ‘Best Newcomer’ in front of millions of TV viewers, thanking his fans in flawless English: “We want to thank our fans all over the world today.”

He later told BILD: “When we first got the award we were in complete shock. And then Tom drank us under the table until 5am.” The boys went to a private party thrown by the Interscope Universal record label in Santa Monica.

Tom: “We just wanted to really party! Just like superstars like Britney, Christina Aguilera, Pink or Kid Rock.”

Vodka with Red Bull was Tokio Hotel’s drink of the night, along with a couple glasses of celebratory champagne – and, they admitted, some water to keep them going.

“It was a cool party,” said Tom. “And the girls here are awesome. They kept screaming every time we appeared.”

The boys finally called it a night when the sun came up, going to sleep at the four-star *removed for privacy* Hotel.

Tokio Hotel will appear on a US talk show and then return to Germany to start recording their third album. There is no doubt that their German and American fans can’t wait for its release.

Birthday on the Beach

Thank you SO much Checkerbunny for translation. Chilling on the beach – How Tokio Hotel prepare for the MTV Awards: It´s the time on Sunday it is so far: In Los Angeles the MTV Awards will take place. And Tokio Hotel are nominated in the category “Best New Artist“. Big tension!

Since a few days Tom and Bill Kaulitz (19) are already in the film glitter town. You may think, ‘Who works, must also relax’. So the boys chill a bit on the beach of Los Angeles.

But why do they wear so much? Tom dares, at least, a little and shows his upper part of the body. And – wow! – what´s that? The guitarist has a right Sixpack! Well, however, with this view his female fans will be happy. However, Bill keeps himself more covered. But later he splashed with his feet in the sea. Before the party is after the party.

Original German
Chillen am Strand
So bereiten sich Tokio Hotel auf die MTV Awards vor

Am Sonntag ist es so weit: In Los Angeles werden die MTV Awards verliehen. Und Tokio Hotel sind in der Kategorie „Best New Artist“ nominiert. Große Spannung!

Seit einiger Zeit sind Tom und Bill Kaulitz (19) schon in der Filmglitzerstadt. Und denken sich vermutlich, ‘Wer arbeitet, muss sich auch entspannen’. Also hängen die Jungs am Strand von Los Angeles ab.

Aber warum haben sie so viel an? Tom traut sich immerhin ein wenig und zeigt seinen Oberkörper. Und – hui! – was ist das denn? Der Gitarrist hat ja einen richtigen Sixpack! Na, bei dem Anblick werden sich seine weiblichen Fans aber freuen.

Bill hingegen hält sich bedeckter. Dafür planschte er später mit den Füßen im Meer. Vor der Party ist nach der Party.

Tom Kaulitz and the drug search story

Synopsis from Onerva:

Okay, so that basically says that Tom was held at the airport for an hour by officers, and was searched for drugs.
They only found caps & condoms in his suitcase though

Tokio-Hotel-Tom in New York festgehalten
Los Angeles – Diese Locken locken – nicht nur Mädels, sondern auch die Drogenfahnder.

Tom (18) von „Tokio Hotel“ wurde während der US-Tour eine Stunde auf dem Airport in New York festgehalten und nach Drogen durchsucht.

Sein Bruder Bill (18) und Gustav (19) und Georg (21) werden immer durchgewunken.

Tom: „Ich glaube, die haben es wegen meiner Dreadlocks auf mich abgesehen, die man anscheinend gleich mit Drogen verbindet.“

Statt Verbotenem fanden die Fahnder in seinen Koffern u. a. 20 Baseballcaps und jede Menge Kondome.

Trotz Durchsuchungs-Stress war für „Tokio Hotel“ die US-Reise ein Mega-Erfolg.

Ihr Album „Scream“ ist auf Platz 5 der Charts eingestiegen!
