A few days ago Tom posted about YouTube user nicholifavs who makes his videos lipsyncing songs in an Apple store. Turns out Nicholi found out about Tom’s blog post, and made a thank-you video. Check out the video, and article written about it by Examiner, below.
There’s a new kid taking the Internet by storm and his name is Nicholi.
Apparently unphased by onlookers, Nicholi records himself at an Apple Store miming to popular songs by Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, and Kid Cudi, just to name a few. With tens of thousands of views and subscribers on YouTube, Nicholi has a slew of fans.
Tom Kaulitz recently posted one of Nicholi’s videos on his blog, comparing himself to the YouTube star, saying, “…Sometimes you just have to do it, no matter how stupid it is. And tada – in an instant you’ve got an audience of millions of people, same here…”
Check out Nicholi’s video response to Tom’s blog. Maybe he’ll do a Tokio Hotel song next…

BRAVO at the exclusive Tokio Hotel Comeback Concert
Bravo 37: Gustavs new Tattoo
On the internet Fans are asking themselves: Does Gustav (20) from Tokio Hotel have a new Tattoo? I know it ;’) He has one – on his right calf. It says: ” What have I become, my sweetest friend. Everyone I know goes away in the end. And you could have it all. My empire of dirt. I will let you down. I will make you hurt. If I could start again. A million miles away.
I would keep myself, I would find a way.” Very depressing. Aren’t you feeling well Gustav? Explanation: Those lines are from the Nine-Inch-Nails Song “Hurt”, which Country-Legend Johnny Cash (died 2003) sang shortly before he died. Gustav is a big Fan: “It’s my favourtie song” In all it’s glory, you can view the Tattoo on BRAVO.de: WEBCODE: TATTOO
Bravo 37: BRAVO at the exclusive Comeback Concert
Tokio Hotel: We’re back! That’s what the Fans have waited for over a year! Tokio Hotel are finally back on stage and BRAVO was there with them….
Unbelieveable 440 Days, Germany has been a Tokio Hotel free Zone: That’s how long it took them to return for a concert here! It feels like an eternity! But finally the Fans can celebrate again. In Cologne Bill Kaulitz (20) ,Tom Kaulitz (20),Georg Listing(22) and Gustav Schäfer(20) played an exclusive Comeback Concert in front of 1.000 happy Fans – among them, also the Winner of the BRAVO Contest. “We’re so happy that we can finally play a concert again for our German Fans.”, Bill explains in the Bravo-Interview. “It’s also a very relaxing Start – because we’re playing an acoustic session – without much of a show.“ But Tokio Hotel had to pratise for it: “We didn’t have much time to practise„ says Tom.
“We always met in the evening to go through all of the Songs. A lot of time passed, since all of us played together.“ and it was so long, that Bill even forgot some of his Lyrics: “We worked a year on complete new Music – that’s quite a task to get all the old Songs on there too.“ And too feel good Backstage, Tokio Hotel indicated their Extra-Wishes to their Organizer Nokia: “Our List is always very long. We always write down about 500 different energy drinks – otherwise we get from the Concert Organizer 4 different ones.“, Tom tells us, laughing. Apart from that, they need: a lot of fruit, a waffle iron and a Coffee Machine. Strengthened, the Band storm onto the stage at 19 o’clock and starts the Concert with “Über’s Ende der Welt”.
The Fans are rocking the venue. “We missed you so much“ Bill shouts out. When they perform their new Single „Automatsch“ acoustic, the audience in the o2 World are going totally wild! Even if you could listen to the song since just a few days before, they already know it by heart. Madness! With „In Die Nacht“ Tokio Hotel says good bye, after having played 6 Songs: “At the beginning of 2010 we’ll be back“, Tom promises. “Then we’ll finally play a big Tour again!“

BILL THINKS HE WILL NEVER GROW UP
Bill Kaulitz: “I think, I’ll never grow up”
Done with the Teens! The Kaulitz-Twins celebrate their 20th Birthday on September 1st. Tokio Hotel – is a new era starting? No! “I think, I’ll never grow up”, says Bill Kaulitz in an Interview with “Welt am Sonntag”.
However, the famous Brothers are paying some tribute to older people and for normal 20-year-olds they have a rather unusual birthday wish. “I would like to have a coffe party with cream pies.
And it would be wicked if the all guests were older than 60. Like a real coffee party”, Bill said. “I always felt older, than I am.”
That’s why the Teen-Idols hated their time at School. “We’ve been really rebellious kids and almost got expelled. But not because of Drugs or Fights. Rather because of Discussions, which the teachers simply weren’t up to” – that’s how Bill sees it…
Nevertheless, the twins imitated their O-level by distance learning. Bill got awarded for it. „Almost embarrasing, not?“, says the Teen Star. By the way, he doesn’t want to be a Role-Model fot Teens.
And all the fame sometimes tires him out. „It sounds cool to have a personal assistant, who get’s you everything. But sometimes I would also like to choose my Yogurt by myself..“

ALL THIS SCREWING AROUND IS PRETTY USELESS
“All this fucking around is useless”
Today Germanys most popular Twins Bill and Tom Kaulitz are celebrating their 20th Birthday!
Within four years they’ve risen from a School Band from Magdeburg to the worldwide most successfull Rock-Group which sold more than 6 Million CD’s and played sold out concerts over the whole world.
BILD asked Bill Kaulitz for an intimate Birthday-Interview. The Rockstar speaks about
his mirror image
“I don’t look in the mirror every morning thinking “Wow, you are such a hot guy!” I have a normal relationship to my face and my body. I’m comfortable in my skin.”
his skinniness
“I’m almost exclusively eating unhealthy rubbish and I order one pizza after the other. I simply don’t get fat. And I have to disappoint you, I don’t make myself throw up in order to stay thin.”
his money
“We earn good money, but we are not filthy rich like some people believe. There’s lots of money we could make but don’t. 90% of the advertising deals we are offered, we say no to. Because the brand or products were complete shit. I only wanna make deals for stuff I really like myself.”
his luxury goods
“I spend a lot of money on vacations. It’s already kinda sick and excessive. But because my vacations are so rare, I wanna enjoy them compeltely.”
his status symbols
“When I finished school, I bought myself a Rolex, even though I don’t care for watches at all. I simply found it funny to have a Rolex at the age of 18. Kinda dumb, actually.”
his sexlife
“I don’t have a girlfriend and sex without love is not the thing for me. This is something my brother should waste his time with. There will be a time he will realize all this fucking around is useless.”
his preferences
“I’m into pretty hands. My first look always goes to the hands. And eyes are also very important. I could care less for the haircolor.”
his loneliness
“After a concert, when I’m all alone in my hotel room, I sometimes don’t know what to do with myself. Eerything is so damn quiet suddenly.”
who he takes to bed
“My 4 dogs are sleeping in my bed with me. I could never be without them. The closer they are to me, the better I feel. This is my advice to everyone: Take your dogs to bed with you!”
his feelings
“I have to admit, there are movies that make me cry. The Notebook, for example. Now probably most people are thinking “Haha, we knew it! That faggot is crying when watchign TV!”
his flaws
“I think I can be exhausting. And sometimes I’m really over the top with the things I say. And I regret it later and think to myself I shoudln’t have said that.”
the end of his career
“After my surgery last year I wanted to throw it all away. I just though I don’t wanna hold my face in a camera ever again. But music is the only thing for me. If I would have to get a job education now, I’d have no idea in which direction to go.”
his fears
“In general I’m afraid something happens to people I care about. Or if something would happen to one of my dogs, I couldn’t deal with that.”
his daily routine
“I’m a total night person. While recording the new album, I usually was in the studio until 6 in the morning, and then slept till the evening. From the world, I usually only see airports, hotels and our venues.”
his daily life
“It’s been years since I’ve last been to a supermarket like a regular person. I have no idea anymore what a piece of butter costs. There’s really no normal life when it comes to me.”
his birthday
“Tom and I wanna celebrate with family and friends. And at night, we wanna rent a rollercoaster, just for ourselves. We haven’t been on a rollercoaster since forever. We lvoe that kind of stuff.”

IlOVE RADIO PART 2 INTERVIEW
This week Tokio Hotel celebrated, with their Unplugged-Gig in Cologne, their Live-Comeback in Germany.
Backstage the Band took half an hour for an Interview with I LOVE RADIO. In the first Part of the Interview, Bill, Tom, Gustav and Georg spoke about their new Album “Humanoid”, their new Songs and their new Sound.
But another thing is new: in “BRAVO” Tokio Hotel Bassist Georg revealed, the first time, that he has a Girlfriend and that he’s in a relationship with her since 6 months! Why didn’t we know about this? Georg explains it in the Interview with I LOVE RADIO.
Georg, did you want to keep your Girlfriend a secret?
Georg: “Yes, I have a new Girlfriend. But I haven’t kept it a secret in the past six months, we simply had no Interviews and nobody asked me!”
Bill: “We never try to keep it a secret. I think that when one of us has a Girlfriend, then it’s the most normal thing in the world. I think it’s totally embarrassing when Boygroups try to keep it a secret, just to make Girls buy their CDs. It’s ridiculous. So we actually say it, when we have a Girlfriend. Actually, I find it rather sad that only one of us has one. But that’s how it is!”
How and where could you ever meet a potential Girlfriend?
Bill: “Tom and I aren’t going out to Clubs in our Private Life. We always work a lot, that’s why it doesn’t really work out – we’re usually at After Show Partys, even there we aren’t those who go to every Party. Actually going into the Cinema in private or just normally go out – it doesn’t work.”
Georg: “Gustav and I can still move around in Magdeburg relatively free. Sometimes it works. That’s where I met my Girlfriend.”
Bill: “You miss it, that’s a fact. That’s one of the bad things when you’re famous. We can’t spontaneously say: Okay, now I’m going out with a Friend or now I’m gonna meet my Friends to eat some ice-cream, or drink some Coffee, or spontaneously go into a Club in the evening. So, everything that we do is always perfectly planned and you’re never alone. You always have somebody with you – yes, that’s not very nice. But I have to say, that there are also those Moments, when we’re standing on the stage and thousands of Fans are listening to our Music – this is definitely making up for everything.”

tokio hotel "being an adult is relative"
Welt.de: “Being an adult is relative”
Children, time flies by: The Teen Stars from Tokio Hotel are almost twenty. Bill and Tom Kaulitz talk of crashes, with 15, their luck, to go shopping theirselves, and why they prefer to talk to Grandma’s.
“Bill Kaulitz never leaves the house unvarnished,” says the woman from the record company. The time in the mask must therefore always be calculated at appointments. And when the petite young man stands in front of you, you get a slight idea of how much time he needs for his appearance.
Among the perfectly coiffed black and blond dreadlocks, a composition of a black and white line graces his eyelids, and his suitably painted nails. The hands in leather gloves have difficulty to arrange the mass of chains that are attached to his black shirt.
His twin Tom is sitting next to him, on a couch in a hotel room with pink painted walls. He fancies himself as a street rocker with a leather jacket and braided hair. Not less expensive, but not as striking. Two ordinary guys in pop-star attire.
WamS: Bill, Tom, both your birthdays are on September 1st, what do you desire?
Bill: I want to be together with my family, see my friends and drink coffee. I love coffee, I drink gallons of it. And I’d like a round of coffee with cream pies. And it would be great if everyone would be older than 60. Thus, a real coffee party.
Tom: Coversations with old people result in coversations that are completely off the beaten track. They have quite different thoughts. This would be great, every Sunday a coffee-party
WamS: Do you have any material desires?
Bill Kaulitz: I don’t.
WamS: A new car, maybe?
Tom Kaulitz: I think, that there’s no one who would give me something physical as a present. But sure, I would be happy about a new car.
WamS: You’re turning 20. Are you an adult?
Bill Kaulitz: I think I’ll never grow up. But growing up is relative. I already thought when I was 13 that I can do whatever I want. Go into Clubs and drink alcohol – I always felt older than I really am.
WamS: Via distance learning you finished secondary school and got awarded for a particularly good performance.
Bill: This is almost embarrassing, right?
WamS: A little bit.
Bill: Tom and I hated going to school. That was the worst time in our lives. I feel sorry for everyone who goes to school.
WamS: What was so bad about it?
Tom: Most of all we were scandalized because of our appearance in the school. But I think that the worst of all is, that the personality of each individual get’s totally suppressed in school.
Bill: Tom and I got transferred into two different classes for disciplinary reasons in 7th Grade. We were really rebellious children, and almost got expelled from school. But not because of drugs or fights. But because of discussions, which the teachers simply weren’t up to. And then you realize that pedagogy comes much too short in teacher education. A lot of people simply slip into the study because they see no other way. But if you want to be a teacher, you really have to want it and you have to have the passion for this job.
WamS: A lot of your fans take you as their role model. Are there any values that you want to convey?
Tom: We really don’t think of ourselves as role models.
WamS: But you exemplify it a little bit. Are you aware of this?
Tom: No, very often not. You have to free yourself of this. We have very limited free space anyway. I don’t want to suddenly pay attention to not use swear words in interviews.
WamS: But you, for example, supported an Anti-AIDS campaign.
Tom: Of course, sometimes we try to stand up for things which we think are important. But in the end: I hate this “Role-Model-Position” (Cmmt: Like, people always taking them as an example, pointing the fingers at them etc.). I don’t want to turn into something like this.
WamS: Will you vote?
Tom: Uhm, yes. Let’s see.
Bill: Then, in any case, the first time.
WamS: What’s the percentage of normalcy in your life?
Bill: 1%.
WamS: Is it the same as with the international stars, that you can’t even go shopping?
Tom: Yes, absolutely. When we started making music, we were at an age where our parents bought everything for us – now we’re at an age where we need to do this by ourselves but we can’t.
Bill: It sounds kind of cool to have a personal assistant, who get’s you everything you want. But I would also like to choose my yogurt by myself.
Tom: In the U.S., there are also supermarkets, which are open 24 hours a day. You can go down there at four in the night, when nobody else is there. We once walked into the toy department, and bought everything. Guns with arrows or remote-controlled cars.
Bill: And then we shot off the cars with the arrows. Totally ridiculous.
WamS: And how do you buy your clothes?
Bill: Usually trough the Internet or from catalogs. Totally Boring. But sometimes you have to jump over your own shadow. Fuck it, if photographers and fans are outside the door. Sometimes you have to go out, you need this little piece of normalcy to live.
WamS: What’s on your catering wish list?
Bill: Actually, every year there’s a new one. And I must admit that it’s pretty long. But we are at home so seldom, that we always try to make it as comfy as possible. The most important things are coffee and real blankets in the hotels. These wool-blankets are the worst. Because they make you feel like you’re at a camp. That is what is most important to me, a real blanket and pillow.
WamS: Do you still have normal friendships from the past?
Bill: Only (from the past). In the Tokio Hotel time we didn’t get to know any new friends because we can’t even really get to know each other. Everyone who meets us, already has an opinion about us.
WamS: Are you extra-cautious with getting in touch with new people because you have often been deceived?
Tom: Yes, most of the times from hidden-editors. We had had extreme experiences at the beginning of our career. At 15 we were at every after-show party and we have, of course, been drinking alcohol. Back then, it was like this: You drank a sip of alcohol, and then the next day the editors called the Youth Welfare Office who wanted to call off the project (Cmmt: With the Project they mean their career as Tokio Hotel) completely.
WamS: But you probably get coached in how to deal with such situations.
Tom: No, we never did. And I do not even want someone who tells me how I should respond to the questions.
Bill: You have to learn this by yourself, by bolting into such a situation and then living with the fact that sometimes also bad things are written about you in the newspapers.
WamS: Do you get psychological support for such cases?
Tom: Our family and friends are our psychological support. I could imagine getting professional help, but there’s the problem with the time again.
Bill: I can understand, when people do that. The problem is, I don’t believe in it.
Tom: I also always think I’m smarter than the psychologist himself.
Bill: Exactly. Everything I tell you, I tell you deliberately, because it’s my problem. And then the psychologist would say: Yes, you need to take some time to think about it. And then I think to myself: Great, I also knew this before.

Bill: Tom and I hated going to school. That was the worst time in our lives. I feel sorry for everyone who goes to school.
WamS: What was so bad about it?
Tom: Most of all we were scandalized because of our appearance in the school. But I think that the worst of all is, that the personality of each individual get’s totally suppressed in school.
Bill: Tom and I got transferred into two different classes for disciplinary reasons in 7th Grade. We were really rebellious children, and almost got expelled from school. But not because of drugs or fights. But because of discussions, which the teachers simply weren’t up to. And then you realize that pedagogy comes much too short in teacher education. A lot of people simply slip into the study because they see no other way. But if you want to be a teacher, you really have to want it and you have to have the passion for this job.
WamS: A lot of your fans take you as their role model. Are there any values that you want to convey?
Tom: We really don’t think of ourselves as role models.
WamS: But you exemplify it a little bit. Are you aware of this?
Tom: No, very often not. You have to free yourself of this. We have very limited free space anyway. I don’t want to suddenly pay attention to not use swear words in interviews.
WamS: But you, for example, supported an Anti-AIDS campaign.
Tom: Of course, sometimes we try to stand up for things which we think are important. But in the end: I hate this “Role-Model-Position” (Cmmt: Like, people always taking them as an example, pointing the fingers at them etc.). I don’t want to turn into something like this.
WamS: Will you vote?
Tom: Uhm, yes. Let’s see.
Bill: Then, in any case, the first time.
WamS: What’s the percentage of normalcy in your life?
Bill: 1%.
WamS: Is it the same as with the international stars, that you can’t even go shopping?
Tom: Yes, absolutely. When we started making music, we were at an age where our parents bought everything for us – now we’re at an age where we need to do this by ourselves but we can’t.
Bill: It sounds kind of cool to have a personal assistant, who get’s you everything you want. But I would also like to choose my yogurt by myself.
Tom: In the U.S., there are also supermarkets, which are open 24 hours a day. You can go down there at four in the night, when nobody else is there. We once walked into the toy department, and bought everything. Guns with arrows or remote-controlled cars.
Bill: And then we shot off the cars with the arrows. Totally ridiculous.
WamS: And how do you buy your clothes?
Bill: Usually trough the Internet or from catalogs. Totally Boring. But sometimes you have to jump over your own shadow. Fuck it, if photographers and fans are outside the door. Sometimes you have to go out, you need this little piece of normalcy to live.
WamS: What’s on your catering wish list?
Bill: Actually, every year there’s a new one. And I must admit that it’s pretty long. But we are at home so seldom, that we always try to make it as comfy as possible. The most important things are coffee and real blankets in the hotels. These wool-blankets are the worst. Because they make you feel like you’re at a camp. That is what is most important to me, a real blanket and pillow.
WamS: Do you still have normal friendships from the past?
Bill: Only (from the past). In the Tokio Hotel time we didn’t get to know any new friends because we can’t even really get to know each other. Everyone who meets us, already has an opinion about us.
WamS: Are you extra-cautious with getting in touch with new people because you have often been deceived?
Tom: Yes, most of the times from hidden-editors. We had had extreme experiences at the beginning of our career. At 15 we were at every after-show party and we have, of course, been drinking alcohol. Back then, it was like this: You drank a sip of alcohol, and then the next day the editors called the Youth Welfare Office who wanted to call off the project (Cmmt: With the Project they mean their career as Tokio Hotel) completely.
WamS: But you probably get coached in how to deal with such situations.
Tom: No, we never did. And I do not even want someone who tells me how I should respond to the questions.
Bill: You have to learn this by yourself, by bolting into such a situation and then living with the fact that sometimes also bad things are written about you in the newspapers.
WamS: Do you get psychological support for such cases?
Tom: Our family and friends are our psychological support. I could imagine getting professional help, but there’s the problem with the time again.
Bill: I can understand, when people do that. The problem is, I don’t believe in it.
Tom: I also always think I’m smarter than the psychologist himself.
Bill: Exactly. Everything I tell you, I tell you deliberately, because it’s my problem. And then the psychologist would say: Yes, you need to take some time to think about it. And then I think to myself: Great, I also knew this before.

Even if they are almost 20 years old, Bill Kaulitz believes that he’ll never grow up. But growing-up is relative. Already with 13 he thought that he could to everything and he felt old enough to go to Clubs and drink Alcohol. He always felt older, than he was, the musician revealed.

ILoveRadio.de: Tokio Hotel Interview Part 1
After the Unplugged Concert of Tokio Hotel in Cologne, Bill, Tom, Gustav and Georg patiently signed Autographs for 1.000(!) Fans! I LOVE RADIO Listener Alicia took this Chance to take a Photo of Bill, when she was less than a meter away from him. Thanks for your Picture, Alicia!
Backstage, Tokio Hotel took some time for an interview with I LOVE RADIO. In the first Part the Band talks about their new Album “Humanoid”, and reveal which new Album-Tracks aside from “Automatisch”/”Automatic” can be found on their Single, which will be released September 18th!
“Humanoid” – what does this even mean?
Bill: “Humanoid was a Lifestyle that we always had. This Lifestyle especially accompanied Tom and me from a very young age, and it has caught up with us in the album production stage again and again – even in our songwriting stage. So it was obvious to call the Album that.”
Automatisch
Bill: “‘Automatisch’ is about a Girl which has no real feelings, she’s just playing them. We wanted to transport this onto the Cover with the Robotic arm – and the most human thing, that is the heart. I think it describes the Song and it’s feeling very good.”
Tom: “The image is wicked. At first glance, the cover may seem a bit gloomy, but I think if you deal a bit more with it and take a closer look, it’s not quite as bleak as it appeared in the first second. I think it’s very atmospheric.”
Can we still recognize you on the new album “Humanoid”, or did your Music Style change comepletely?
Bill: “The track ‘Humanoid’ actually describes very well that it is a complete different song, even it’s structure – we’ve made ourselves quite free, when it came to the song structure of this song. I’m curious to see how people will react to this! The song will be on the Single too. Apart from that we, of course, were influenced a lot by the events of the last year when it comes to songwriting. I do not even want to reveal too much, but I think you can hear the change!”
Tomorrow it’s gonna get a little more private: in the second Part of our Interview, Georg explains why he told us now that he has a girlflriend since six months. Did something happen in the last year, that we still don’t know of?
