Tokio Hotel

[conchobarm]

Just heard of them, apparently they debuted in the States last year or so. What do y'all think of 'em?

Their lead singer is 'cute', at least according to one of my nieces - she has a huge crush on him. She loves the band's music too, obviously.

To me, their music is very, uh, 'average'. Conventional, simple, catchy, melodramatic stuff.

 

[conchobarm]

to your niece, she has good taste

 

[conchobarm]

Has no one else here heard of them?

 

[RJAZ]

Oh man. I once liked them. Easy now,don't brand me as a fan. I think I was inspired by the hair.

Tokio Hotel is a German glam rock / emo band founded in Magdeburg, Germany in 2001 by singer Bill Kaulitz, guitarist Tom Kaulitz, drummer Gustav Schäfer and bassist Georg Listing. The quartet have scored four number one singles and have released two number one albums in their native country, selling nearly 5 million CDs and DVDs there. After recording an unreleased demo-CD under the name "Devilish" and having their contract with Sony BMG terminated, the band released their first German-language album, Schrei, as Tokio Hotel on Island Records in 2005. Schrei sold more than half a million copies worldwide and spawned four top five singles in both Germany and Austria. In 2007, the band released their second German album Zimmer 483 and their first English album Scream which have combined album sales of over one million copies worldwide and helped win the band their first MTV Europe Music Award for Best InterAct. The former, Zimmer 483, spawned three top five singles in Germany while the latter, Scream, spawned two singles that reached the top twenty in new territories such as Portugal, Spain and Italy. In September 2008, they won their first MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist. In October 2008, they won 4 awards including Best International Artist and Song of the year at Los Premios MTV Latinoamérica. Tokio Hotel became the first german band ever to win an award at both the MTV VMAs and the MTV Latin America Awards.

Oh man, I'm sorry but I cannot stand them at all. I listened to their cover of Instant Karma by Lennon, and it's like they chucked a bomb at it.

 

[Alunyel]

Ugh.

Just, ugh.

*Shudders*
