Tokio Hotel History

The twins Bill and Tom Kaulitz have been into music since early childhood. Bill started singing and writing at the age of 9 and Tom has been playing the guitar since the age of 6. They started working on their talents and taking lessons when they were ten years old. Just two years later, in 2001, they met Gustav and Georg and founded Tokio Hotel. They immediately began working on songs and lyrics together. Gustav, who has been playing drums since he was 6, already had band experience that he put to use in the project.
Just half a year after the founding of the band the boys already had gigs every weekend in and around Magdeburg. It didn't take long before they were discovered by the music industry and were off to the studios. Despite their great succes they have managed to stay the same people that they were before the breakthrough. Life as a band has brought them even closer as they were before.That combined with the professionals that assist and guide them makes their songs become better and inspire them to keep surpassing themselves.

TOKIO HOTEL ARE:

Bill Kaulitz: The lead singer
Tom Kaulitz: Bill's twin, born 10mins earlier and he is the Guitarist
Georg Listing: Bassist
Gustav Schäfer: Drummer



Tokio Hotel Quotes

Maybe you’ll be surprised, but my beard grows too. I didn’t expect my 3-days bristle would make such ballyhoo. The camera was not so good and I thought no one would notice it. Actually at home I’m always unshaven. And I shave if I have to go out.
Bill Kaulitz (Russian Bravo, June 2011)
 


Twincest
Tom: Ehmmmm… Are there twins who are in LOVE WITH EACH OTHER?
Bill: Twincest?
Bravo: Yes, some people even draw you in different poses…
Bill: Me and Tom?!
Tom: What a bullshit? Is it legal, actually? *laughs*
Bill: Maybe these people are insane.
Tom: Sorry, but I don‘t want to have something in common with these people. *all laughing*

I’ve already made painful piercings, but tattoos… it’s kind of scary. Why do I have to cover my beautiful body with tattoos? I think, it would be suitable for Bill if he would tattoo all his body including face. It’s a pity if I make it on my beautiful face.

LA
Bill:  We’re working on our new album. On weekends I swim in the pool the whole day and have fun in amusement park. Tom and me are obsessed with it. Btw, we celebrated our 20th Birthday in amusement park, but it was in Germany.
Tom: I like jet-ski and quadrocycles. I like everything with engine! In LA we also like the fact that we can go to the supermarket and buy yogurt, rent a car.
Georg:
Make an intimate haircut in salon… *Everyone laughing*
Bill: Besides it’s cool that all supermarkets in the USA are opened round-the-clock!
Tom: But we live a bit distantly even there. We can’t be free for 100%. Most of the time we’re staying at home.

(Russian Bravo, June 2011)



The last terrible case was when someone broke into our house in Germany. Because of this we have moved to the USA and now we’re living in LA. It’s too hard to live in Europe. Some people are just going crazy. They have kind of mania. They can do everything! Maybe there are those crazy ones among those who make twincest. *laughing* One day we understood, that we have to stay under security’s control all the time. Such a life became unbearable…
Bill Kaulitz (Russian Bravo, June 2011)




I don’t know him [Adam Lambert], and he doesn’t know my phone number! So, he seems not to be fated to dine with me.

"At about 6 years old. I watched it [The Labyrinth] again and again because I really like it. I also
like Dangerous Liaisons (1988) , though it’s a very old movie. I watch different kinds of movies, such as science fiction movies. When I was young, I liked E.T (1982) very much, and also vampire movies. I like The Fifth Element (1997). And I like watching romantic movies as well, such as The Notebook (2004). It’s really quite moving. Yes, I watch many kinds of movies, rather than one particular type."

"By Bill Kaulitz"

"I collect ideas from many places, and Tom and I organize it together while we are recording in our home studio. Inspiration from movies, inspiration from when passing through cities, myself and different people, and also from life. We go to the studio and put those things together, and from there some new ideas are born, some are all changed. It’s brought together like that."
"By Bill kaulitz"

"I think we were very lucky. When creating music in the studio, we wrote down the feeling in our brain, but not meditated it first and did. I tkink it’s lucky that we did such a thing, that we created awesome music. Without luckiness like this, we can’t work out any good music at all."

"By Tom Kaulitz"

Bill: And all the other artists, we're sorry but our fans are the best in the world!

Bill: If someone says Tokio Hotel is something bad, we wont mind,and I can live with that. But if we hear something about that they touch our fans we can get really angry.


Tom: Yeah!, they can come to us,not to our fans ♥ ♥

Bill: "There was one thing, I had a car accident in 2009, and right before that accident Tom called me and he said, like, you know, 5 minutes before that, he just told me 'Okay, be careful, because I have like a bad feeling, I have.. I feel that something really bad is happening and ehm.. so bare careful with everything' and I said 'yeah yeah, okay, it's fine'"Tom: "And I never do calls like that"Bill: "No, he never do something like that, and it was like, really strange, but I thought prrft okay, I don't know what happens to Tom, so eh.. I just.. I just went with my car, and.."Tom: "Really fast on the autobahn.Bill: "No, it was not really fast, but I.. then I had an, I had an accident. So, there are some, like, these magic moments and ehm, this special connection you can't describe."


“Tom kisses posters of himself, he always puts all of them on the wall.” — Bill Kaulitz






“The day I saw Bill and Tom rehearsing, I knew my fate would be to play with them. And I wasn’t wrong.” — Gustav Schäfer ♥

“One day before the operation, Bill had written on a piece of paper ‘If I lose my voice, you sing’” — Tom

I am a guy who wears make-up, fake nails, booty shorts and heels, but i could still fuck your girlfriend"

"By Bill Kaulitz"


“I love it when a girl has a great look, nice nails and a beautiful skin. And then, especially, that they are positive and playful. I don`t like one night stands. I truly believe in true love, a love that you only find once in a lifetime…if you have the chance. Because I think that many people never find it, which is very sad… I`ve already met girls, I`ve already fallen in love. I know what it`s like to have a flash for someone and the butterflies on your belly, but I still haven`t found love with a big L. (c) Bill Kaulitz”




“If I had a girlfriend I would write her letters instead of using Twitter.” — Bill Kaulitz”




“If you’re really in love, you don’t care about all the other girls that are standing in line for you …
by Bill Kaulitz”





“Tom :” Bill kisses good and he likes it wet”


“I want an intelligent girl whom I can talk about everything. I want her to be my friend, to be partners. I don’t like when a girl is rough, but delicate and subtle. I like good manners and not rudeness nor arrogance.”
— Bill Kaulitz”





“Do you compete for the same girls?
Bill Kaulitz: We like the same type. And our girlfriends were always friends with each other. It was godawful, cause they did always gang up on us. Our first kiss happened with the same girl. Tom was first. The day after that, she started kissing me. Then we were both over and done with it. Oh god, we thought it was shit – as awful as the first kiss is.”





“What would you do if you’re not a musician..
Tom: Uhm.. Police officer or pornstar. Pornstar or police officer. Or both at the same time!”
