Some Fans Make Me Mad!

So, the title of this post is self explanatory. And today, they made me SO mad I'm posting about it to vent. The cause for my anger is the video below, specifically, at around 3:50.



So, you've watched it, right? I mean, WTF! How dare those girls grab Bill like that! Ok, sure, sometimes a fan will hold onto their hand a bit too long, or someone will tug on their clothes. But these girls grabbed hold of him and frigging yanked him, HARD! I would bet money that he had a nasty bruise after that. And what was the point of it anyway? What could they possibly have achieved by doing that? It was just totally unnecessary. Poor Bill.

I hate how some people seem to think that they can do whatever they like to celebrities. Like they are objects you can grab and shove and pull about. It infuriates me. For fuck sake people, HAVE SOME RESPECT.

Tokio Hotel Radio

So, if you're reading this, you will already have noticed, or at least heard, the neat little radio gadget, over there --------->

Yup, Tokio Hotel radio. SO cool :) You can get your own HERE then just adjust the size in the code to fit wherever you want to put it.

And hey presto - you have Tokio Hotel radio. Love it :)

So, just a short post for now, but I'll be updating soon with my pics and vids from Berlin and the MTV EMA!

The Tokio Hotel

Ok, I've neglected my blog a bit lately, and I'm gonna put that right over the next few days. And of course, I'll be posting about Athens and the show - which was SO AWESOME!

But just a quick one tonight, about the cool new online game The Tokio Hotel. My mum played it while I was in Greece, LOL! She really enjoyed it and finished the first level, even claiming a Tom 'completed' banner for herself at the end! :) I'm gonna have a shot at it tommorrow ( and blackmail clues out of my mum, lol ).

Use this link to play the game yourself!

Bill in Vogue

I really want to make a post about this, because I feel as though some people who like the Vogue pics, are missing the point of what those who don't like them are saying. First of all, I guess, let's take a look at them ....




Ok. So, I understand that this isn't a 'normal' photoshoot. I get that it's a high fashion mag and that it's meant to be a bit kooky and daring. I'm all for that! And, I'm sure that there would have been ways to make the head piece look fab. Trust me, I'm all for the 'pony boy' look! Lol.

IT'S NOT ABOUT THE HAT!

In my opinion, these photos just don't work. Particularly the first one. It's so awkward looking. Even without the hat, I would be saying - that is not a good picture. This was such a fantastic chance to do a stunning shoot. Bill is so photogenic and was clearly open to ideas, so I just feel as if the opportunity was wasted. :( What does eveyone else think?

Tokio Hotel Round Up

Gosh, so much has been happening in TH world lately. I hardly know where to start! The most exciting news of course, was yesterday's premiere of the video for 'Automatic'! I'm not going to upload it here, so, if you haven't seen it already, or if, like me, you just wanna see it again, go check it out on the UK Homepage

But be sure to come back and leave me a comment! Let me know what you think! Personally, I love it :) It reminds me of a cross between Mad Max / Transformers and Wall-E, lol! It made me giggle, but in that cute, endearing way that TH always make me giggle. The only thing I have to say in a negative light, was that the G's were hardly in it. But other than that, love, love, love it! And Tom? OMG, he's looking good!

What's next? Well, next we have the twins birthday, of course. 20 years old, bless them. I can't stress enough how much I LOVED the pics from their birthday. They look so happy, like they had a really, really great time. This makes me happy to <3


While I'm posting pictures, we cannot miss out on the epicness that was Bill's tartan pants, in France. That boy. You've gotta love him :)


And of course, let's not forget Tom <3


So, what else is there? Oh, Georg announced he had a girlfriend! I'm sure some fans weren't so pleased to hear it, lol, but I think it's really sweet. I love that he picked a non celeb girl from home. Cute.

And finally, really happy for Madeleine and the Swedish ST. So excited for them for next week!

Well, that's all for now folks. I'll try and blog a bit more often. I promised I'd be better with this one, and already I'm failing, lol. But I shall try harder *nods*.

Automatic / Automatisch and Beautiful New Picture

Today was a good day for all things Tokio Hotel ( it was a bad day in some other respects, but I won't give the people who caused that enough of my time to write about it! ). Anyway, back to Tokio Hotel. OMG. So, today, MTV Buzzworthy and Bild released snippets of the new single Automatic / Automatisch. I heard the English version first and loved it immediately! I was totally happy already, but of course I wanted to hear it in German too. I always enjoy Bill's voice more in German :) But I wasn't expecting to be so totally mesmerized! Bill sounded beautiful.





Not only did we get the song clip but there was also a stunning new picture. Tom<3 No hat, no bandana, no sunnies, smiling ... Did I die and go to heaven? He looks sooo beautiful. And Bill! If the word 'Androgynous' were to appear in a picture dictionary, I'm quite sure this photo of Bill would be the definition! Lol. I don't think I've ever seen him looking more pretty and feminine. It's so cute. And him and Tom look almost like a cou... Ok, I won't say it, but *squeal* And just LOL at Georg checking Bill out! Even Gusti is smiling! Aww. Anyway, enough rambling, here it is ....

Loud and Proud Email Fan Action!
Most of you will know by now that our ST leader Claire, recently resigned from the THUKST. You can read her full reasons why HERE, but the lack of information about the band's intention towards the UK was a main factor. We still have no clear idea when Humanoid will be released in the UK, if at all. Let alone whether they will ever return to play another gig here.

Constant attempts to bring the band back to the UK have so far failed, and as a result, not only have UK fans lost their beloved ST leader, but they are also beginning to lose hope.

We want you guys to stand up and once again make your voice heard because the UK fans are not ready to give up the fight yet! With a new album, a new look, and a new tour on the way, never has the time been better than to let people know that we still want Tokio Hotel in the UK! We are still as Loud and Proud as ever!

So, what's the plan? We want you all to send an email to the fan mail address, asking for information about Humanoid and the UK. Will it be released here? When will that release be? We want to let them know that the UK fans have been very patient, but as the rest of the world is eagerly awaiting the Humanoid release we need some answers, too!

PLEASE SEND YOUR EMAILS TO - fans@tokiohotel.de

ON - MONDAY AUGUST 24th


Guidelines for your email.

* don't make it too long ( otherwise it might not all get read )
* stay relevant ( keep distracting "fan-girly" comments to a minimum or out altogether! )
* be polite - no unnecessary whining, don't be rude or even offensive as there is no need for it and only puts all the UK fans in a bad light. Remember, you're representing all UK fans with your mail!

Content:

* have "UK" in the subject line
* refer to Claire's letter of resignation
* in particular refer to or quote that she doesn't think we'll get a release for the new album in the UK
* ask about / request a release
* mention that the UK hasn't had a release in two years and never got one for Scream
* ask about / request a UK gig (maybe mention our efforts with owngig)

So, to sum up, please compose a polite, to the point email, asking about the future of Tokio Hotel and the UK. Use the above guidelines to help you with your mail. Then send the email to fans@tokiohotel.de
on Monday, August 24th.

Kim-Lan

Great news for Kim-Lan, as Tom once again gives her credit for a graffiti of him - this time on his blog. It's a stunning piece, in simple colours and in his new style.

If you like the look of this, then be sure to check out all of her other videos on her You Tube Channel. You can also follow her on Twitter here. Any other links you might need, you can find by visiting those two places first. Finally, on her Myspace you will find some more Tom and Bill graffiti, pictures of Gustav and Georg, and also lots of other other amazing pieces of work.

Message from the Band

So, it's pretty obvious what the highlight of this video is for me - TOM! No hat. No headband.

*SQUEAL*

Anyway, I'm sure you've all see it a hundred times already, but once more is never too much, lol, so enjoy ...

New Twin / Band Pics and Other Stuff

Oh god, my blog is turning into a pic spam site! However, these are, at least, REAL and not manip'd. ( Well, not by me, anyway, lol! ) I don't even have the words to describe how good the twins are looking! They're just beautiful :) And Bill's legs?! Holy cats, they are so looooooooong! Anyway, here they are. Enjoy ...

So yeah, I'm totally loving ( drooling over ) these! Also tonight, because of something else I've been working on, I've been looking at photos of fairgrounds and carnivals. And I've come to a conclusion. It would be the most amazing place for the guys to do a video or photo shoot! Take a look at these examples ...



How cool would a night time shoot be, at some place like these! And it seems to fit the theme of the calendar pics too, with the neons etc. I would really, really love to see a shoot like that!

Anyway, I've got one or two other things to talk about, but I'm so tired. I haven't slept yet! So I'll blog again later. Oh, and don't forget to tune in and watch Richie Nickel on Blog TV tonight! You can catch him HERE at 9pm.

ST Assignment and Twitter Fanaction

ST Assignment

As you know, the new Tokio Hotel album 'Humanoid' will be released 'worldwide' in October. Unfortunately, we are still not sure if this includes the UK. In fact, it seems that it won't be released here at that time.

Tokio Hotel have now opened comments on the news section of their website. So I implore you to please head to the official UK homepage and leave a comment asking when the album will be released and asking for it to be released here. We'd like to see as many UK fans commenting on there as possible so that they see we want the album!
