Tokio Hotel WW148 (Gusti donates blood)

Hi everyone, it's Bill!
We are back in Germany and what can I tell you? We really had an awesome time in North America! Our last show in Montreal was just incredible – such an energetic and excited audience! You guys were so loud during the whole show that we could barely hear ourselves on stage which is exactly how we love it! After coming back to Germany a really big surprise was waiting for us: on Friday night German music channel VIVA hosted their award show COMET! We were nominated for three awards and won four !!! "Best Live Act", "Best Band", "Best Video". Then at the end of the show we even received the so called "Super Comet", which is basically given to the winner of the winners of this show…absolutely TERRIFIC that we got it!!! All the awards were determined by votings so once again you showed how incredible you are and how unbelievable your support is! You really complete us! Everyone must envy us because of you guys – I guess we really have the best fans EVER!!!
Take care everybody!

Bill




Tokio Hotel stormed the Billboard album charts with SCREAM

Tokio Hotel stormed the Billboard album charts with SCREAM, the band’s first U.S. full length to date. Landing at #5 and #6 on the Alternative Albums and Rock Albums charts respectively and in the top 40 of Billboards Top 200 it is safe to say – Tokio Hotel have more than arrived.

In their next step in U.S. domination, Bill, Tom, Georg and Gustav, will find themselves in millions of living rooms as their ballad, “Monsoon,” is released as downloadable content for Rock Band!


“SCM“ is a local handball team from Magdeburg. They’re called “Gladiators”.
“That worked!: ”Gladiador” Christoph Theuerkauf brought Gustav from “Tokio Hotel” along to the university-blood bank. Also Gustav’s blood shall help the SCM-fans to win the “blood-bet” against the FCM-fans. Since weeks the Green-Reds are in front – and at July7th it will be over.
Do the Blue-Whites really want to lose again? “Around 6000 fans of both teams have already donated their blood”, SCM-fan-supporter Gabi Blume says. “We hope to make the 7000 line.”

Before the “tapping” Gustav revealed, that he his a big fan of the Gladiators.
“When I donate blood here, I want to show, that I stand by my town, especially of course for the SCM. Gosh, how have I suffered, when they had their bad phase in spring!”
If a fairy godmother would came to fulfill him three wishes, Gustav Schäfer would wish
(1.) 1000 more wishes,
(2.) a happy and healthy family and
(3.) the title for the Gladiators for the upcoming season.

Always, when he’s in the Magdeburg area and “Theuer”, “Benno” (Bennet Wiegert) or “Tulpe” (Fabian van Olphen) organized a working-card, Gustav is feverish with them in the Bördeland-hall:” My last game was, when they fired the others out of the hall with a difference of 14 goals. But against which team was it?” Christoph Theuerkauf knew it immediately: “That was against Minden at April 25th!”

But from where do the sportsmen and the rocker know each other?
Christoph Theuerkauf: “One year ago DJ Alex Ninow gave me backstage-tickets for a Tokio Hotel-concert. I found the show of the boys just great and behind the stage we took stock of each other. I had a “good wire” to Gustav at once.”

Asked, if the band maybe would play at the final celebration of the blood-bet at July 27th at the Old Market, Gustav said: ”I really don’t know, what is then. I don’t say no, but also not definitely yes.”
“That would be really a big thing, if that would work”, Gabi Blume was already radiant all over her face.
