Fans ask, Tokio Hotel answers!
Thousands of fans have sended their questions to Bravo.de: We have asked them to Bill, Tom, Gustav and Georg...
Olga (12): Georg would you ever cut your hair as short as Gustav? Georg: I believe not. I have a bit protruding ears. I like it better when they are long.
Lisa (16): Georg, which showergel do you use? Georg: Showergel? I don't shower. I just powder under it. (laughs) No, that's totally different. At the moment I use 'Axe', in the past I always used , Nivea for men.'
Hopi (12): Tom, when you bring girls to your hotelroom, do you want just sex then - or do you still have contact with them after that? Tom: We can only drink tea too, I have nothing against that, but basically, people do that, because they want to have their fun. People can also maintain themself - that's also possible. With some girls I have contact after that. But there was never a girl yet, who I couldn't forget.
Wenke (11): Tom would you cut of your dreadlocks? Tom: Voluntary not on this moment. I have them for 6 years now and don't want to get them off at all. But sometime I will.
Anna (14): Tom, would you ever wear the same clothes as Bill? Tom: No, voluntary not! Then I have to get a immoral offer then I would do it maybe, but otherwise it's not my case. But I wouldn't war Gustavs or Georgs clothes also and the other way round it's the same.
Vivian (15): Tom, do you have a girlfriend now or not? There are some rumours on the internet. Tom: No, I haven't a girlfriend.
Jacqueline (14): Where are you shopping in Hamburg? Tom: I'm not shopping in Hamburg that often. But when I am, then in any Hip-Hop-Stores.
Julia (13): Gustav, are you so shy or why don't you talk so much? Gustav: I want to know that too. Maybe I'm just not that eloquent and is that why I'm more in the background. I'm the most quiet one in the band and that's what you also see in interviews.
Jennifer (13): Gustav, do you often play football? Gustav: Only for concerts, to warm up a bit. In the past I used to play and like soccer a lot.
Vera (15): On the Web there are pics where you can see Bill drunk with sweet girls. What's that? Bill: What? I don't even know these pics! I'm rarely drunk, I have to say. I don't have a girlfriend. In the evenings we are often with the people from our team on the road. But they are way to old!
Susanne (18): Bill, how old does your girlfriend has to be at most? Bill: Well, where the love goes, but I have to say, 20 is the maximum.
Anna (14): Do you ever have 'french kissed' (that's how you call kissing with tongues in english, right? ) with a girl who also had her tongue pierced or had a brace? Bill: Both not. I haven't had a girlfriend who had a pierced tongue or a brace. It wouldn't disturb me, when my girlfriend would wear braces. And when she has a pierced tongue then would I find that cool.
Nathalie (15): Gustav and Georg often pull off their shirts. When are you gonna do that Bill? Bill: I hope, Georg does that never again, das mal schon vorweg[Can someone translate that for me? ]. (laughs) I will not pull off my t-shirt on stage, I have to take away the illusion of all those girls now. I'm not that kind of person for that. To sleep I only wear a boxershort, but otherwise you won't see me without t-shirt.
Vanessa (14): Is it true that you are moving to Hamburg because of school or has that other reasons? Bill: We all live still live at home with our parents. In Hamburg we have a studio-house. Always when we're producing are we there because then we don't have to commute and we have more time in the studio.

Nice: Before, Bill hadn't told anyone about his change! Not even his band-colleagues Gustav and Georg knew about this. Even his twinbrother Tom had no idea until Bill stood in front of him! What's behind this sudden change? Bill:' Nothing special. I just wanted a change.' After BRAVO published the first photos from the new Bill, whole Germany was talking about it. All media wrote about Bills new look and thousands of fans wrote letters and emails to Bravo. , His new haircut is strange, but awesome though.', writes a feminine fan, deputy for many followers. No question: Who liked Bill already, he has more now..
February 2006
The sensationvideo!
In February Bill, Tom, Gustav and Georg continue their cheered Livetour and make a mega-cool video...
When Tokio Hotel are going on the second part of their 'Schrei'-tour in February, the hype around the boys is grown powerfully! This time they play in even bigger arenas, with even more awesome spotlights, for even more fans. They all want to see Bills new look. They all want to hear how awesome the former pupil-band live rockt. Equal, where Tokio Hotel plays - the tickets are sold within less minutes. For altogether 175.000 fans play Bill, Tom, Gustav and Georg during their 7-weeks-tour. It's the most succesfull newcomer-tour in Germany ever. During these times they live only in hotels, are almost never at home. "We love it, to be on tour", says Tom. "Only packing our suitcases annoys." On stage the boys give a perfect show. Highpoint at every concert: "Rette mich." Bill sings this nice rockballad with so much feelings that the fans get goosebumps. The song becomes the third single of the band. For that they even record it once again - with new string-players and Bills meanwhile lower voice. In a studio in Berlin-Spandau Bill, Tom, Gustav and Georg make "Rette mich", their till then most costly Video - with sensational effects: Walls are moving, a face emerges from a wall, the boys seem to fight against the gravity. Behind this mega-cool effect is an easy trick: All scenes are filmed on a slant surface. When the single and video conquer the charts the band takes time for another project. Bill, Tom, Gustav and Georg engage theirselfs for "Schau nicht weg!" (Don't look away!), the big Bravo-action against violence on schools. The boys were photographed with the logo from the action - and the poster hanged everywhere in Berlin. The result: hundrerds of the posters where pinched by Tokio Hotel fans. The insanity continues..
