You’ve got to have some balls!
He just goes through with it from the beginning to the end....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.... :-P
Anyway, pay attention to the people in the background – they’re the real highlight of this vid!

Clap your hands!
Aside from my laptop, a guitar and a large cup of coffee I also have another item on my desk. When Bill is not around to applaud for my brilliant ideas, I simply have to do it myself ;)

NOKIA acoustic set...
The NOKIA acoustic set in the O2 world this past Thursday was really special to us! I didn’t think that I would be so nervous before the show....but it was wicked to perform a brand new song after such a long time. We really had tons of fun, mostly because you guys were amazing and put out so much energy. Well, and Hagen even hit the right chord every once in a while...;-) Thanks so much guys!!!!

Tokio Hotel TV returns!
After a long break, Tokio Hotel TV is finally back! The new TH TV season will start next Wednesday @ 21h (MEZ / CET). Right now you can already check out the brand new trailer...

Behind the Scenes of AUTOMATIC!
Tokio Hotel's brand new video AUTOMATIC will hit the screen in only a few days! Right now we already have an exclusive "Making Of" from the AUTOMATIC shoot in South Africa for YOU! >Go check it out!

4 Wheel Action!
We already know that Gustav is nuts sometimes. In Africa, he has once again proven this point: Going full speed on a completely damaged quad bike while it being four degrees and of course he had to hit each and every puddle. Well, at least it looked cool!

Party Like Justice
Did you like the last album „Cross“ by electronic icons Gaspard Augé und Xavier de Rosnay who are part of the Parisien lable Ed Banger. If so, then you might also like these fellows. At least they remind me a lot of them. These days, record lables and acts have barely any money for music videos anymore. Back in the 90s, some lables were up for spending HALF A MILLION for a video shoot – these days we are more talking about an amount with one zero less at the end. Keeping that in mind it’s pretty impressive what people create with that kind of budget – RESPECT! Ladies and gents, check this out:

First impressions from the AUTOMATIC video shoot in South Africa. We had so much fun!

AUTOMATIC / AUTOMATISCH
Well, I wanted to introduce the song already WAY earlier to you guys but Gustav didn’t want me to ;-) Check out both snippets of our first single from the upcoming album HUMANOID:
> AUTOMATISCH
> AUTOMATIC
Looking forward to reading all your thoughts about the track in the comments : )
18.08.2009
Haha! I say it’s fake!
If these guys really pulled this off I will play bass on the upcoming tour and switch to Georg’s „hairstyle“. What do you think: real or fake?
Hmm, I think I should go through the pics on my digi cam soon and show you one or two from the AUTOMATIC video shoot. :)

Black – White - Beautiful!
The people from Anit, an agencybased in Oslo, Norway seem to really be into black, white and glossy surfaces. Totally legit – when you achieve results like this, I think you can totally commit to a certain style. I think their work is amazing! Here is some eye candy...

Keep It Natural
In case you like it as natural as possilbe (which I don’t) then you finally have a great alternative for better karma ;-)

PAC-MAN
In the studio that Bill and I went to for the final vocal recordings, there was also one of these old Pac-Man gaming machines. Every time I couldn’t stand listening to all the wrong notes ;-) I left and killed time playing on it. Had I owned THESE shoes, I might have managed to get further than level 5....Dunks in the Pac-Man look!

From 0 to 100 in 3.2 seconds!
Chevrolet is not really my thing but this model definitely is! A little while ago they introduced it at the auto show in Shanghai and it won me over right away. When looking at the thechnical side of this car it seems that it would suit people best with a strong drive to being suicidal. Definitely not recommended for beginners ;)

4861 Pictures, 500 Crayons and one Polaroid Camera!
Director David Wilson produced a clip for „You Came Out“ in the style of a flip-book based on 4816 pictures! I’m not really into this kind of music but the end result definitely turned out well. The idea especially for the video rocks and I really like the technique he used!

AUTOMATIC - AUTOMATISCH
I have to admit that Bill and I had some different opinions about what tracks to put on the album ;) but we couldn’t have agreed more on this song! The first single of our upcoming album HUMANOID will be AUTOMATIC (title of the German version: AUTOMATISCH).
08.08.2009
Mix Stix
And here is something for Gustav. Most drummers probably started out their carrer with pots and spoons in their mother’s kitchen, driving everyone around them crazy :) Gustav’s brithday is coming up soon and that’ll be my present so he can annoy us even more with his constant drumming.

Fun up your home
Our friends from Microsoft are not necessarily famous for innovative and funny output. The stuff they came came up with here is pretty nice though. Not sure if Windows Vista really brings more fun to your home?! The ads certainly do.

Our first Bandmeeting...
Yesterday I went through my parent’s old video tapes and you won’t believe what I discovered: the tape of our first band meeting! We had so much fun and the chemistry between us was just right....;-)

Are Fischerspooner....
...completely nuts? Luckily they are! I mean otherwise they wouldn’t be able to come up with this kind of video. Warren Fischer and Casey Spooner return with a – let’s say - pretty freaky video. I’m fascinated by the way they use lights, colours and shapes....and the song even features guitars (!) :D

Bill & die Minimoys...
Here is something new about my little brother: Just like in part one of Luc Besson’s „Arthur and the Minimoys“, Bill will also be Arthur’s voice in the second part (German version). Of course, I allowed him to take on the role, I mean the producers had originally asked me... Just kidding ;-) I think Bill is actually pretty good at it! Looking forward to Nov. 26th because that's when the movie hits the big screen in Germany....

EXPO, EXPO & EXPO!
A chamber of mirrors slightly modified – at least I would call it like that if someone asked me. Unbelievable what our Portuguese friends (btw: Hi to all of them ;-)) came up with for their EXPO pavilion. It’s hard to describe in words.....check it out yourself.

Almost as good as me: nerd hero & nerd band
OK, how is it possible to eliminate all sense from gaming? Seriously, what nerd comes up with this kind of stuff? That is balls! :D The guy (he must be male) probably played with to muchLego robotics when he was little. Anyway, we’ve had so many intense Guitar Hero & Rock Band battles on our tour bus during the past U.S. tour and so I’m still a fraction of a second faster than this crazy machine.

Wolf rules with black light
Judge the song yourself but the video with its black light effects is super freaky. Pretty vanguard (is that what you call it? ;-) this Wolf person.

What sucks most out of your socket?
Be good, pull the plug and above all, don’t use plasma TVs....at least if you love the environment. Anyone who doesn’t care can continue on like before. In case you want to speed up global warming and create the summer of all summers: play video games all day long on a giant plasma TV and listening to music through your computer.

How awesome is this? Obsessed with Cars...
I have a print out of this car right underneath my pillow. Maybe it’ll work just like with the tooth ferry and tomorrow morning when I wake up the car-ferry has dropped off the car right in front of my door. You just need to believe in it and it’ll work for sure!

L.A. Adventures
We just spent a few days in L.A. to record the final chords for our new album HUMANOID. Of course, we also stopped by at Interscope / Cherrytree Records to show Martin Kierszenbaum and Brenda Romano some rough mixes of our new songs.
26.07.2009
OMG! [The German title was actually "Spit or swallow!". Hooray for being PG-13.]
This is probably what 90% of all 80th German birthday parties look like. Yes, I know that this clip has been circling the web for some time and German fans probably already know it. But this is simply a classic – so don’t complain if you’ve already seen it....

This Will Be Mandatory For Our Tokio Hotel TV Team!
The star of my announcement video has to take care of his business outside sometimes....you know what I mean. Since I don’t like being on my own, I’ll get a permanent entourage to join me for walking the dog:D

This Will Be Mandatory For Our Tokio Hotel TV Team!
I don’t care if they like it or not, but this will be the only camera that can be used by our TH TV team in the future. Franziska Dierschke’s „Gun Camera“ is the ultimate gadet to freak out securitiy staff :-)

What’s up, Puppet!
Feel whatever way you like about collecting puppets but when you look at this one you just HAVE to love it...no way around it. Incredible how many details there are. Btw: Still love watching the movie.

We’ve organized our first event already and will also perform our brand new single there! August 27th is the date and you can find all the info you need HERE.

Hey, are you happy up there?
Check out Röyksopp’s latest video for „Happy up there“. Should we ever create a video entirely in post production – meaning animated - then I’ll contact the guy who made this one. Wicked...not my style of music but I love it ;-)

Certain things make me want to have kids
I never really thought about having kids and right now it wouldn’t really fit in with the rest of my lifestyle anyway ;) I know I wouldn’t want a dad who’s 19 years old, barely spends a night at home and works with some weird guys. But seeing stuff like that gets me thinking...!
By the way, I told Gustav yesterday that you guys left him so many greetings in the comments. He was super happy about that and sends you guys „best wishes“ back. Everything will be OK – only the stiches seem to itch a little – so please don’t worry!

Halleluja!
Scary or celestial – not too sure about it. However, no doubt that there are A LOT of crosses. This mountain of crosses, which is named Kryžiu kalnas, is somewhere in Lithuania close to the village Šiauliai. It’s a place of pilgrimage and each visitor brings a cross to leave there. From the looks of it, there have already been quite some people. To me this seems like a wicked location for a video shoot....what do you think?

Georg will go nuts! I have to call him right now and deliver the news. Hagen will feel like it’s Christmas, Easter and his birthday all on the same day! His idol returns - David Hasselhoff aka Mitch Buchanon will be on Baywatch again....and this time he hits the big screen! Wow! All right, I have to dial 017656....

Don´t Move!
This vid is priceless :) and how awesome is the idea behind it?! I don’t even want to know how many nights these crazy programmers must have spent in front of their computers. I’m also wondering if there is one single real human in it. It’s a little sad but beautiful at the same time. The clip is by Stink Digital and director Adam Berg for a 21/9 TV.

Balls and chocolate! :) oh, I almost forgot the skater. Did I already mention that Bill once wanted to become a professional kickboarder? I think so, but I can’t tell this story often enough. Had music not crossed his path then he would have shot this clip with his kickboard. Come on, you need to imagine this: instead of Bob Burnquist there would be my little brother Bill.

What movies am I going to watch this summer?
Why do I go to the movies during the summer? Well, German summers are quite often not what you’d like them to be. During the few next days I will post 10 movies that I’ll definitely watch this summer. How and where do I go to the movies?! Can’t tell you that, but we might sit side by side some day! ;)
Aside from that I’m a huge fan of old drive-in-cinemas. Unfortunately there are way too few left but the great thing about them is that you can do whatever you want in your car....as long as your windows are tinted ;-)

We Proudly Present:
Some of you already received the news: we’ve been searching for new partners to manage our concerts and now our LIVE team is complete. „William Morris Endeavor Entertainment“ will book our concerts in the future and the guys from „The Production Office“ will turn our stage ideas into reality and make sure that everything at the venue (hopefully it’ll be in your city as well!) runs smoothly. We have so many ideas for the upcoming tour and are already talking to people from different venues! :)

It’s Gustav Again
Haha, it’s Gustav again (sorry, Klaus:). Not sure what it is... but somehow this reminds me of Gustav’s legendary dance at our VMA fanparty. Have to go now and start practicing the dance moves.

New Tokio Hotel TV Camera Has Arrived!
We didn’t want our cameraman to drag around his super heavy cam from the Stone-Age anymore and so we just had to be nice to him for once and got him a newer, smaller version. Let’s see how the results turn out and most importantly what happens next on TH TV...;)

I Hated My School!
Just thinking about my old school building gives me the creeps. Absolutely horrible. Just so you know, Bill really enjoyed going to school and he was so thrilled every year when the summer holidays finally ended! ;)
Have a look at this school in Berlin and imagine you attend classes there. Had this been our building and if the teachers were a little more cool then I would have repeated grade 10 forever ;) [ok, not true at all]

And now we have everyone up again. Don’t ask me what kind of mission Gustav and Georg are on, I have no clue :D

This video of my favourite German rapper Samy Deluxe turned out really well. I think they should have included a Tokio Hotel concert in this miniature world, or even better: a Tom Kaulitz statue. I’ll need to talk to Samy about that :)

New Eminem Video
I got his album right after the release and from the very beginning my top song was „Beautiful“. Last year we were in Detroit and drove around the city in our tour bus. It was really noticable that the city was desolate in some areas and that a lot of the houses, shops and factories were empty! :(

I can’t wait to meet our new stage designer and finally develop some new LIVE ideas. That’s pretty much the most exciting part before the tour kick-off. Well, obviously aside from the challenge of having to teach Bill, Gustav and Georg all their lyrics and instruments on time :D... But until it’s show time I’ll keep on collecting some ideas. This stage for instance is just amazing!

GUTEN MORGEN!
While I’m having breakfast you can already have a look at the first backstage pics from our covershoot. Can’t tell you too much yet ;) but we shot for 2 days till late at night and everyone had to do tons of overtime. All of this because Gustav and Georg took forever in make-up....as usual. Oh, and Georg had too many bananas and spent a lot of his time on the toilet....
Btw: The pic of me here beside the blog window is from the session.

CERTAINLY NOT FOR YOUR HOME BUT SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE
I hate it when people rip animals out of their natural habitat just for their personal pleasure and for basically locking them up like a toy at home. But I NEED to show you this – whoever doesn’t go crazy must have a heart of stone. Slow Loris are the sweetest animals on earth but that’s also why they are doomed. Please also check this page and tell everyone you know about it.

NYLON Mag + NIKE = colourful
NIKE is releasing a new line for their „Dunk Design“ in collaboration with "NYLON“ Mag. In 1985, NIKE Dunks came out for the first time and back then they were only available as basketball shoes. Seriously, these shoes are classic and now NYLON is adding another model to the existing variety. It's women only! Btw: I heard you can get them at „Urban Outfitters“ and Nike.com.
