Echo music awards: 2008
Bill: Many greetings to Berlin. We are unfortunately not there. We are playing our very first concert in Hollywood. We are so excited! But we are much more excited, because we have won the ECHO for the best video. Many thanks to our fans! We are so happy! We have just made a toast. We will go celebrating tonight. It's a great feeling: Our third ECHO award! It is due to you – many thanks, that you voted so much for us! It's incredible! And we hope, we will see you soon again. We will have some more nice days here – then we'll go to New York and where we will have another concert. Thank you so much. Have a nice evening in Berlin! We will see you!


The Tokio Hotel fans from the French island, Reunion Island, have started a petition. They support the band and are asking them to come to their island!

Tokio Hotel really has fans all over the world. They do everything to see their idols, live, once in their lives. If Tom, Georg, Gustav, and Bill haven't decided to go to a certain city, or country, for a reason, the fans call them "loudly" by collecting lots of signatures so that Tokio Hotel can come and play!
That's what happened recently in Israel.
Fanny, Pauline, and Lucile take care of the site Tokio Hotel 974 and have started a petition. Up till now, they have more than 10,000 signatures. They had started it at the end of June. In our opinion, such efforts must be rewarded and we want to support Reunion!
You can also sign up on their site tokio-hotel.societeg.com and help the French fans bring the group to their island!

LA: Times review
Standing onstage Friday at the Roxy in front of a crowd of screaming teenage girls and schmoozing music-biz types, Bill Kaulitz of Germany's Tokio Hotel announced that he'd brought something from halfway across the world.
Vintage lederhosen? A handmade cuckoo clock? A rare species of gummy bear?
No, it was "Totgeliebt," one of the German-language hits that's propelled the young emo-glam outfit to Hannah Montana-style superstardom in Europe. Like everything else by Tokio Hotel, "Totgeliebt" (Love Is Dead) sounded like the Jonas Brothers covering Guns N' Roses, the latest iteration of the deathless musical genre known as hair metal. (Tokio Hotel emphasizes the hair more than the metal: Kaulitz sports an outsized fright wig; his guitarist brother Tom wears a bundle of dreadlocks.)
The Kaulitzes and their two regular-guy mates were at the Roxy for the first of three U.S. gigs ahead of the release later this year of "Scream," which collects (and translates into English) 12 tunes from their two German albums. That everyone in the audience knew the words to the songs is testament to the irrelevance of release dates in the Internet Age.
Kaulitz offered little in the way of stage banter ("We'll be back," he promised near the end, sounding a like a pint-size Governator), but what could he have said that Tokio Hotel's relentlessly crafty music -- or his strangely balletic rock-god stage moves -- didn't communicate more clearly?
Minus the studio sweetening on "Scream," the ballads suffered Friday in comparison to the rockers. But if they graduate to arenas the way they have in Germany, they'll have the voices of thousands of fans to fill in all the empty spaces.
