Okay, so as you may be able to tell from my avatar and profile, I just listened to Tokio Hotel and I'm totally in love with them. But what I want to know is, who's your favorite member of the band?

Obviously, mine is Bill Kaulitz. He's amazing, I love his hair, his eyes, his mouth, when he smiles, I end up smiling without knowing it. His expressions are beautiful...I could go on all day.

So. Who's your poison?

(I can't believe I just said...or, er...typed...that.)

Ich hasse Tokio Hotel. Sie machen schriekliche Musik. Sie sind Deutschlands Hannah Montana.

'nuff said. But be happy that you like it. =P

I think I'll pick the most normal looking one, i.e the one second to the right.

Oh, sorry Signomi xP

I just thought the poll qualified it. But okay.

Anywho...yeah, they're so popular, apparently. I didn't know it. Until people started posting their fics all over Mibba. And now it's a battle between A7X, TH, and the Jonas Brothers for domination of fics. (Long story.)

I don't speak German, but I'm planning on teaching it to myself.

I already plan to learn all the romance languages and some extra random ones. So far I've learned English...and French XD

So I'm pretty sure you said you like them, you love their music, and they're the German Hannah Montana (in terms of popularity).

I'm Austrian-German, I should know this. I'm a disgrace to my country XD

Yeah XD

Everyone thinks he's a girl. Then they're proved wrong. Then they say he's gay.

But he's a straight guy, shockingly.

He's just...so...pretty X3

IMHO, I hope he only cuts his hair when it starts going past his chest. And only to what length it is now. I love how long it is, and how it spikes up so perfectly. That's so cool.

Yeah, most people do ;_; It's sad.

But that's okay. I love his voice too. It's so, like, soft. But still powerful. And so emotional, you can just hear the emotions he's trying to get through, the message and stuff.

Yeah. In the beginning, before I knew what any of them looked like or anything, I thought they were going to be a screamo band. I hadn't heard any songs, seen any pictures, I'd just heard the name floating around. So when I listened to 'Monsoon', I was like, in awe. Just sitting there, listening to how amazing it was.

I guess you would define them as...I don't know. I saw some website say they were pop-rock/alternative. But I don't think so much pop. What would you call them, exactly?

I would say the are (Little)Girlie-Rock, music which is for teengirls because they are that kind of fans which buy the most merchandise and went to many concerts so the labels behind such bands can make a lot of money, like the boybands in the 90s.

I am from Germany and I used to hate Tokio Hotel. When they became famous you couldnt get away from Tokio Hotel, they where everywhere, I hated their music, their statements und the purpose why their music is made. This feeling about them held a long time.
Now I dont care about them. I didnt know anything new about them and this is very good, now they arent in all medias every day and so I dont get in contact with erverything from them and so Tokio Hotel doesnt matter anymore for me. I dont mind if they get any more succesfull and I dont mind if
their career ends as quickly as it came. But I have to say that it surprised me that they became succesfull outisde of Germany.

Hmm...I love their music (obviously). Dreary? Not so much. "Monsoon" is all about getting through the hard times to be with someone you love, and "Don't Jump" is about someone who doesn't think they have any reason to live, but another person is telling them not to end their life. In the end, it's resolved as the person realizes what a mistake they've made and come back to the second person for strength and comfort. There's a lot of good messages in their songs.

Not trying to spark a debate or anything, considering this is an opinion thread. But I'm just stating my reasons why I don't think they're depressing.

I heard they were the German Jonas Brothers. I didn't even know about them until my friend told me, and then I was like, "Wow, they're good!" I'd seen them like in Hot Topic on shirts and stuff, but I never really listened. Until now :D

I only know the German version of "Monsoon" and one which is called "Schrei" which means "scream" and some others from listening in the radio but without knowing the title. For me these songe arent really meaningful or with good messages, there are just clichés of such songs made for really littlegirlromantic texts to impress such ones.
I know dozens of German Bands which have better messages with better texts with better sounds and who dont make their music only for money. If you like english music there thousands of (rock-)bands to listen: Nirvana, Korn, Metallica and so on who make really good songs witch really meaningfully texts

I am german. and I think that they are not that great. Tom was hitting a girl that asked for an autograph, so he would be my least favorite.

and, about his hair, when they had 'durch den monsun', their first song, it was extremely short and not that pretty. I can't understand why people all over the world love them. I mean, were german, we have Rammstein, oomph, Die Ärzte,..... why Tokio Hotel?

Also, their songs are only produced to drive milloins of girls crazy, they do not come from the heart, and thats what is important about music. They have written the fisrt songs alone, but now the producers give them what the audience wants and they play it.

I am not really a fan of boybands ore something like that, though Tokio Hotel is not looking like the most boybands. They are trying to be some 'rockers', but there is no difference between them and 'US5' or whatever all those bands are called.

No offense. xD
