“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

Germany’s hottest musical export Tokio Hotel return October 6th with new album Humanoid, the follow-up to their 2007 English language debut Scream. The band — which features brothers Bill and Tom Kaulitz — teamed once again with producer David Jost. Scream was an English version of songs culled from Tokio Hotel’s German albums, so the long gap between sessions proved inspirational for the band, and singer Bill Kaulitz says there’s more experimentation this time around.

“At the end of this track we got rid of all the normal song structures,” Kaulitz said. “Humanoid has so many different parts and melodies, it’s a weird journey that might be a little confusing at the beginning, but we can’t wait to play it live.” That new direction is evident in our exclusive excerpt of the title track “Humanoid,” where Bill Kaulitz shifting melodies a handful of times over a cascade of revved-up guitars. The almost-disembodied vocals and the more metallic sound of Tokio Hotel does give the music a “humanoid” feel.

Jost adds that the brothers took on a larger role and a more hands-on approach in the studio for Humanoid. “For the first time, Bill and Tom have co-produced a majority of the tracks on the new album,” Jost said. “A lot of things in the studio happened intuitively, although Bill and Tom had a very clear vision of how the tracks should sound production wise in the end.”

Up top is the cover for Humanoid, which looks like a concoction of Terminator, Brain Salad Surgery and Bill Kaulitz all bundled into one humanoid. Tokio Hotel sat down with Rolling Stone last year for a video interview, with the Kaulitz boys discussing Scream and David Hasselhoff’s spell over their homeland, plus they taught us some German too.

We are all going to pretend they wrote Kaulitz instead of Kraulitz though, okay? Okay.

In addition to telling us all about makeup and crazed fans, the young men in Tokio Hotel provided a crash course in German. Click above to learn how to say “I love your music,” tell Tom he’s the best and possibly better understand that whole David Hasselhoff thing.

Tom Kaulitz has THE best sense of humor.

For those who cannot watch it or those who want to translate it to another language.

Hey New York, we are Tokio Hotel. And you are watching Rolling Stone.com.

We’ve heard you have crazy fans

Bill: Tokio Hotel Fans, they live the whole Tokio Hotel life with us. We travel in so many countries and they come with us and they sleep in front of the venues, I think 3 months before we came in the venue, it’s just crazy.

Tom: They write kilometre long fan letters and we have redesigned cars, Tokio Hotel cars…

Bill: And there was one girl she ran away from home, I think for 6 months…

Tom: For half a year, yeah

Bill: And that was just crazy. And she really wanted to find us but, we met her at an afterparty…

Tom: Yeah, an afterparty…

Bill: … in the end, but just I think for 10 seconds or something.

Tom: Yeah *laughing*

Bill: There was one special present, I think it was a star…

Tom: Yeah, we got a star…

Bill: And then it’s somewhere out there

Tom: A star called Tokio Hotel, yeah.

(He talks over Bill and I cannot hear what Bill is saying)

Your style has gotten a lot of attention:

Bill: For me, the very first time I wore makeup was at a Halloween party. I went to this party like a vampire and I think I was 10 years old and after that I said “Okay, I like it” and I started to color my hair and wear makeup and stuff and also in school and every day. If you take a look at the old pictures, you can see that George (English pronounciation) was so ugly and he is ugly right now.

Tom: It’s a fresh look.

We hear you like Nena’s “99 Luftballoons”…

Bill: I really like Coldplay, and Green Day but also Keene and I’m a fan of Nena. That was really my first contact with music. I was 6 years old and I saw Nena on TV in Germany and yeah, so, I’m still a fan of Nena.

Tom: He forced me to hear Nena in my childhood, so that was terrible.

Bill: It’s important to hear Nena.

Tom: And I listen to German Hip Hop music, George is a big fan of David Hasselhoff…

Bill: Yes!

Tom: Gustav is a fan of “Need artist’s name”, you don’t know “need artist’s name” I think, but also a good artist.

Georg: Not nearly as good as David Hasselhoff but…

Tom: Not a good dancer.

Were you nervous coming to America?

Bill: It’s really the first trip that we speak English and also on TV shows and in front of a camera, because we just speak our school English…

Tom: Our school English, ja.

Bill: It’s just some words and it was also a challenge for me to do the English record because I always sang in German and it’s really the first record that I tried to sing in English. And I really wanted to sound… I’m a perfectionist and I really wanted to sound like a native speaker and as you can hear, I’m not. So, that was really a challenge to do. But it’s a 1:1 translation from the German songs and we had some help with that but, yeah, I hope the fans will like it.

What’s it like being brothers in a band?

Bill: I think it’s normal because we were always together

Tom: Yeah, always the same friends, the same interests and yeah.

Bill: And we started to make music with each other…

Tom: Yeah

Bill: And in the beginning I just had a keyboard because we had no bass player and no drummer and, I don’t play an instrument. I was always too lazy for that.

Tom: Bill needs me, to be honest.

Bill: And he needs me so…
