For three years we have a new German music wave here in G. A lot of new bands cropped up all singing German and they are all really good (Juli, Silbermond, Mia, Wir sind Helden, Rosenstolz). Now, about two years ago there was a new band on the horizon, five young guys all under age, with two front men Tom and Bill Kaulitz, twins. Now, when I first saw them I was like ... Johnny's???
Because Bill Kaulitz the singer of the band called TOKIO HOTEL (coincidence?!) looks a bit like a cross between the front man of Placebo, Brian Molko, and Hyde *lol*
Unfortunately my two little god daughters are both hard core TH fans (and they are still in first and third grade of elementary) so I have been exposed to a wee bit by that band ... but sane as I am (yeah *snicker*) I'm not a fan. Period. It just struck me as funny that there are so many parallels with some JE's bands.


1st song of TH - Durch den Monsun (Through the moonsun)


Rette Mich (Rescue Me)


Über's Ende der Welt (About the end of the world)

Oh, you don't realize what you are missing! They are great! Their new album comes out Friday!

There are only four of them. :)

it's even known in France ^^ i heard them on a french rock radio and then saw an ad on tv for their dvd live ^^ i kind of like "shrei" (don't know if it's written like this sorry) but at first i really thought it was a girls band ^^ cause he has a high pitched voice ^^ anyway i was really surprised to know they were so young and already having so much success ^^

Well - as most stuff they sing about lies so far into my past, I don't think I will become a fan. There is no identification - Jeesh they could all be my kids. :)

Yep, there was a lot of hype and my two god daughters are crazy about them. I think by the rate this is going Gina and Sarah Michelle will go out with Punk rockers soon *lol*

Oh... I don't really envy you to be at home with two TH-Fans, but it could be faaar worse. At my former workplace, a colleague was a TH-Fan, too. And this girl was about 26 years old!!! I really like all those modern german bands (especially Wir sind Helden) and I also wish those tiny little fellas success but I can't stand this fuss everyone is making about them.

BTW, the parallels to Johnnys didn't come to my mind until now. I always thought of Bill of some kind of "Miyavis-Baby-Brother" *lol*

Good thing is they are just my *Patenkinder* so no TH posters or music anywhere at my place. I think His Hubbiness™ would go stark raving mad. Good thing is he really likes some SMAP songs - so ther eare no issues there :)

LOLOLOLOL I think I'll never forget how one night at Christian's place he was reading some forum where a guy wrote, "My aim for next week is to come up with a death metal version of that Tokio Hotel song!" (referring to Through the monsoon), and someone replied, "Are those the guys who look like girls?" Then a week later, I told Marlene about that, and she asked me in all seriousness, "What, you mean they AREN'T girls???" :-D

I have to admit though, his voice is not half bad, and I like people who write their own music. Anything else concerning Tokio Hotel, I fear is beyond my comprehension.

Ah, so I misunderstood. Good Thing that your Husband likes some of Smap, too. My BF isn't that much of a Johnnys Fan, but he likes some songs of Arashi and loves many JE-Related Doramas (esp. Nobuta wo Produce)...
