Tokio Hotel featured in an Irish magazine!!
Bill Kaulitz has been featured in KISS magazine as oine of the 25 hottest teen stars!

German born Bill is the lead singer of rockers extraordinaire Tokio Hotel. At only 19 years old, he has been working in the music industry alongside his twin brother Tom since he was 10 and writing songs since the tender age of seven. With his band about to blow up on the international scene after winning an MTV award, Bill is getting attention not just for his alternative looks, but also for his rock star potential. Despite the crazy hair and fondness for guyliner, Bill isn't gay (just in case you were wondering). Prepare to be obsessed with this one.
To cast your vote , simply text KISSBILL, your NAME, AGE and ADDRESS to 51450. Texts cost 60c plus standard message rate.

I think this one is only for those in Ireland but I honeslty have no idea for Britain and that.


MTV Top 25 Vids by Streams
MTV’s James Montgomery has prepared the list of the top 25 videos for 2008 by video streams. And it appears a certain German band (Tokio Hotel xD) has made the list.
As of now, Tokio Hotel came in at #21 with Ready, Set, Go. But I think this changes regularly cos when I last looked at it, monsoon was in the list and it isn't anymore.
Go to http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1601234/20081212/spears_britney.jhtml for the entire article.

New T-shirts!
How lovely, just in time for Christmas, Deutschrock.de has released a new Tokio Hotel T-shirt!! This one's really nice!! Its black and has a picture of Bill on the front. The Tokio Hotel text and logo are also on the front in red, with a graphic of Bill’s star tattoo in the corner. The back shows his star tattoo again in red, with Bill Kaulitz on top of it. Go to http://www.deutschrock.de/index,php?sid=05034c4a2021bbcf505954bba07c244c&cl=details&anid=0f374a20d5626f282b82afac6d2e4890 to see it. Price: 19,99€ + 25,00€ postage and packging (to Europe, I don't know about P&P to other countries 

And wouldn't you know it, so has Hot Topic!! Go to http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/store/product.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302028381&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442192862&bmUID=1229194098353 to see it. It's a plain black T-shirt with an imae on the front. The picture is like the cover of the Zimmer 483 Live In Europe DVD but the background is red rather than the purple-ish background on the DVD

I prefer the deutschrock t-shirt!! I'm not a fan of the Hot Topic ones in general though...


Bill Kaulitz: Top Men of the Year
MTV.com named their top 10 Men of the Year and Bill is nicely settled there at #6! (He should've been number one xD) But he did deserve it, there's no denying he is one of the top men of this year (as are Georg, Tom and Gustav)
Here’s what MTV had to say about Bill:

Bill Kaulitz

2008 Highlights: Maintained his epically spiked plumage and remarkable, porcelain-like complexion for the entirety of the year … Haunted our dreams and tricked fans into singing in German … Took over Times Square and confessed his love for David Hasselhoff … Released his band’s first English-language album, Scream … Gave an interview dressed in what appeared to be Michael Jackson’s jacket from the “Thriller” video … Arrived at the Video Music Awards atop a supercharged monster truck … Immortalized in wax … Professed his love for American Halloween candy (but not warheads) … Got new tattoos … Inspired a level of devotion from his fans that was both shocking and frightening.

Aww, how sweet...apart from the fan thing. Though I will admit, some fans are shocking and frightening xD

That's about it! Keep checking back for more Tokio Hotel news :D
It's been so long
Nov 26 2008 07:37 pm
It really has! I doubt anyone reads this but what the hell, I like to rant my life away to nobody anyway xD

So anyway, where to start? Things have been so crazy ever since I came back from FanWalk, and that was almost three weeks ago! It's hard to believe three weeks have already passed, I'm still in the FanWalk daze! I've only just managed to catch up with all my History work (and after having caught up, I can officially say I violently dislike Napoleon)! Normal life is so BORING! Get up, go to school, get the bus home (ew), do homework, waste time on the internet and go to bed. Every day the same damn thing. At least on the fanwalk there was always something new and exciting going on! And at least all the people were interesting! I still can't stop thinking about the entire fanwalk, especially the EMAs themselves. The show was...eh...but the after party was pretty interesting!! Meeting some celebs was fun, seeing Tokio Hotel live and in the flesh (including Bill's ass live ;D) and not freaking out/passing out/acting weird of any kind made me smile like a loon. Honestly, I went crazier over Lauri Ylönen from the Rasmus than Tokio Hotel. Bill Kaulitz walked right passed me, brushed right passed me and I'll I did was go "Oh, hi, congratulations" nice and calm, not crazy at all. I got no response from him, but he did give me an eyebrow raise ^.- like that. It was fun! Ah and I met Lauri!! oh I went crazy! My knees turned to jelly and I thought I was going to literally pass out, he is so amazing! I got to have a picture taken with him and when that hand went round my waist right onto my hip...I almost stopped breathing! Hah he let me touch his beautiful blonde hair (odd thing to do? maybe! Worth it in every way shape and form...YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!) Unfortunately, when I changed sim cards and shit, my idiot phone deleted the picture!! NEIN! it was such a nice picture and it was LAURI and, and, and NEIN! But I got his autograph!! So I have proof I met him and didn't just imagine it xD he has such nice writing.



Anyway, I'm back, and I've got more homework than you can imagine, plus I've got to study my ass off cos from next week I've got tests in all my lessons and I don't want to! I can't be arsed to be honest! Roll on Christmas Break (counting down the days to December 19th!). I don't want Christmas to come though, I'm too poor for all this present buying shit. I hate it, but then if I don't buy my family something I feel so guilty. I have inventive ideas this year! Well for my gran's present anyway. She writes all these poems and short stories and keeps losing them, so I'm going to buy a very fancy book and put my pretty calligraphy skills to good use by handwritting every poem and short story into this book. Time consuming? YES! Cheap and meaningful? MOST DEFINITELY! As for My mum, aunt, cousin and various friends...I have no idea!!

If my stipend would just start coming in now, then everything would be fine, but NO! I still have to bloody wait for the bloody thing!



-------------------------------------------------




Ok that's enough about my boring life....now let's blog about all things Tokio Hotel!

FIRST OF ALL: Calling all Maltese Tokio Hotel Fans! We're doing a massive Tokio Hotel meeting this Saturday, the 29th of November at VALLETTA! We're meeting between 12.30pm and 1pm in front of Burger King and all Tokio Hotel fans are welcome!! Please please PLEASE come on time and bring any Tokio Hotel friends you have. It you want more details, go here http://tokiohotelforum.motionforum.net/maltese-tokio-hotel-fan-meet-ups-area-f4/next-meeting-t669.htm .  



Now, I have a few little things to say about Tokio hotel.

Regarding the EMAs: Ok I think the entire thing with the award for Best Act Ever was totally fucked up! How the hell could RICK ASTLEY win? And I'm not just saying this because I'm a Tokio Hotel fan, they were in the same category and I wanted them to win, I'm saying this because there is no way he is the best act ever. Perhaps Tokio Hotel might not be the best act ever, they haven't been out long enough to be best EVER, but there were other bands in that category certainly more deserving! Such as U2 and Green Day; they are both good bands and both do a lot for the world and such, so they were much more deserving that that idiot man. Nobody even really knows who he is. No right, when you tell people "Rick Astely won Best Act Ever", the majority go "Who?". You have to actually sing/type that damn song (Never gonna give you up etc...) before they realise who you mean. So honestly, how can he be best act ever? And also, how could they let him win? People used autovoters on him, they cheated, which was unfair. Not only that but Rick Astley 'fans' attacked anything Tokio Hotel, shutting down major websites, targetting fans and fansites, generally trying to push Tokio Hotel out. And it was only through this cheating that they managed to get him to win. I honestly thoug when they said Rick Astley had won that somebody was going to go "You've been rick rolled!" which I think is the stupidest saying ever but there you go. It was unfair and unjust and not just to Tokio Hotel but to all the acts in that category; Rick Astley wasn't even part of the original nominees, he was just added later for who knows what fuced up reason! That did not make me happy....


Regarding what some people think: Ok now this is gonna be a rant. Many people don't like Tokio Hotel, that I understand. And to be honest, I honestly don't care. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and if someone doesn't like Tokio Hotel that is their own choice and I completely respect that. However, lately (especially on the fanwalk) I've been getting people saying some rather...pissing off...things to me about Tokio Hotel. I want to say right here and right now that I respect everyone's own opinions and if they don't like Tokio Hotel that is completely up to them, I don't go around trying to change people's opinions or considering people stupid for not liking Tokio Hotel. I never get into fights with anyone simple because they don't like Tokio Hotel; I'm pretty liberal. However, I am not liberal when it comes to people putting down Tokio Hotel continually in front of me for whatever reason. I have to say this: If you don't like them, that's your opinion, but I do like them, so please, respect what I like. just because you don't like them doesn't mean everybody else has to dislike them. And also, when you're around a fan, if you don't like Tokio Hotel, why sit there and insult them? Why attack them verbally and why attack the fans? I am a very dedicated fan. I own this website, my room is covered in posters, I am part of the fanclub and I pretty much help organise everything, I have all the CDs and all the DVDs and I love to listen to tokio Hotel regularly. but that gives nobody the right to attack me for that. It is my personal choice to do that and it is my personal opinion that Tokio Hotel is pretty bloody good! I had certain people say to me that I attack people for not liking Tokio Hotel...that is the biggest piss-take ever. Most of my friends don't like Tokio Hotel and we get along bloody well. I only attack back when people attack me first. A common example happened on the fanwalk, when some person would say Tokio Hotel are shit without expressing a reason, and would then go on to criticise the fans and so on. Not once was the music mentioned. it was all about the obsession of the fans and, particularly, an attack on me and how I am. That is when I attack back. another thing which pisses me off, which happened, people who have never even heard more then one Tokio Hotel song (especially people who have only heard the chorus of one song -.-) decide to slag them off. They haven't even heard the music and they have the bloody cheek to slag them off! And all of this manifests itself simply because of how the band looks, more specifically, how Bill looks. I'm sorry, if you are a true fan of music, you don't judge a band on looks or how the members are, you judge simply upon the music. And if you've never heard any of the songs, how the hell can you judge them?! and for that matter, how can you judge the fans? There are millions of Tokio Hotel fans worldwide, and no two fans are the same, yet we are all lumped in one tiny category; that of the screaming fan girl. Please, I am not like them. Hell, Bill brushed right passed me and I have never been calmer. We are not all like that, so please don't judge us in such a way...


...these prejudices actually hurt people. This is what these 'antis' don't understand, all of this actually does hurt us. And no, it's not because we are over sensitive or whatever, its because so many people act in such a small minded manner and it pisses us all off. And yet we still stand by them 100%, we still stand in line for days on end to be in the front row, we still make websites for them and join forums, go to fanclub meetings, spread Tokio Hotel around the world. We still vote like mad for them to win every award. We still stand behind them 100%. No matter what you say, you will never get us to stop loving them so please, just stop insulting us.


I'm not saying you have to love Tokio Hotel, far from it! Like I said, its your choice whether you like them or not, but please, don't take it out on us! We aren't them so just back off! And if you don't like them and decide to tell us so, at least give us a reason why, and anything to do with their appearance is NOT a reason. Examples include "Bill looks like a girl" "the lead singer is gay" He isn't btw "they are mainstream" "they are all wannabes" "the lead singer's hair is stupid" "I hate the way the lead singer dresses" "I hate the fans" "I think the twins are gay with each other". All of these reasons are not real reasons for hating Tokio Hotel. The only real reason for not liking the band, is because the music isn't really your thing. That is all. If you don't like the band members, then those are reasons, but even if you hate the band members, you can still like the band. And if you hate the band members, again, take it somewhere else. The fans love them no matter what.


So that was it for that long rant. It's been building up for a while, especially after some of the things I heard being said on the FanWalk, especially some of the things said to me :@ but I'm good!


So those were my rants!!

--------------------------------------------------------

The day before
Oct 27 2008 10:05 pm
So it's the day before I leave for the fanwalk, a 400km trek from London to Liverpool to go to the emas and the after party....crazy? yes!!! Worth it? No doubt!

I'm all packed and ready, I've been packed for about 2 days but I keep going "Shit I forgot _____". I've packed and re-packed my case about 10 times and have a pile of stuff I'm still dithering over! But in the end its all good and I'm literally dying of excitment!! All day I've been talking to friends and going crazy because this time tomorrow I'll be one day closer to the EMAs and I'll actually be in England! After the months of hard work and time spent voting like crazy and literally asking EVERYONE to vote, we're all a little stunned I'm going considering at first there were some complications. It's hard to believ in less than 12 hours I'll be there...pinch me!!!

I'm so excited for the contests and stuff we do as well. We do this one task where we dress up like a celebrity and do a photoshoot and I decided on being Amy Lee from Evanescence!! I bought blue contact lenses and all! Go here http://img33.picoodle.com/img/img33/3/10/27/f_GetAttachmem_8f0b1ba.jpg and you can see what I look like, face wise, compared to her (nais nais nais!) Clothes I'm just gonna wear a cute black gothic skirt type thing, long sleeved shirt with the dangly puff type cuffs and a leather corset/bodice thing over it. along with PVC boots and purple tights of course!! I think I look the part if I do say so myself ya know!! xD

Anyway, I bet you guys don't really care xD

You're here for Tokio Hotel related stuff so let's see what little titbits I can give you....

Oh yeah, I'm gonna post Tokio Hotel related news here as well, particularly sutff like little bits of information; trivial stuff which don't really need an entire new page and what not. also might put up what sections have been updated and maybe see how that goes. Kinda just playing it by ear at the moment, depends on the success rate of this blog and how much it helps me release tension, stress or just talk my ass off xD

So, for some Tokio stuff:

Everyone go download and read the magazine Monsun; its a fanmade mag in both English and German. This is the official live journal page of the inofficial fanzine http://community.livejournal.com/monsun_magazin and you can download it from here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/z2nmyjenmw1/monsun_issue_01.pdf . So far its only issue one but hoping issue two will come out soooooon!! It's a really good fanzine!

Also, VOTE VOTE VOTE like crazy for Tokio Hotel at the EMAS!!! http://ema.mtv.co.uk, they're nominated in Headliner and Best Act Ever....they. must. win. both!!! You can also go here http://ema.mtv.co.uk/artists/profile/115148262/, its their profile on the EMA website and at the bottom it has the categories they're in, click vote, refresh and repeat! But however, if you happen to find lurking on the internet these autovotes DO NOT USE THEM! The officials are getting word of these things and are thinking of deleting all votes because of these so don't use them!! Tokio Hotel can win these awards without cheating the system and confusing the website, we just all have to vote like crazy for them and vote the right way for them!! We can do it (it's all up to us mmmkay!)

Ok I have to go, I'm sleeeepy!!! But I doubt I'll sleep, I'm too excited and I still feel as though I forgot something -.-
