Tokio Hotel continued their world domination in 2010, touring all over the world and even performed their first concert in Asia! 2010 was definitely a year of milestones for these rockers, with them releasing their Tokio Hotel – Best of album, along with their second live album Humanoid City Live from Milan, Italy, and the new song ”Hurricanes and Suns”.

What’s Next: With the release of their greatest hits album and the new song “Hurricanes and Suns” at the end of 2010, we can’t wait to see what else these guys have up their sleeve for 2011! Fingers crossed that they’ll continue to conquer the world and bring their tours to countries they haven’t been to yet!

Plantao MIX TV Interview Translation (23.11.2010)

Bill: Tom and I started very early, I think we had seven years and so I started singing and writing songs, and Tom began playing the guitar. Everything was very simple, I had a keyboard, but I couldn’t play all the instruments, just had to press a button to the sound of drums and bass. We were looking for people of our age, but it was very difficult to find someone, because we lived in a small town, so it was quite difficult. But we met Georg and Gustav, in one of our shows, we met them at a club in our hometown, and then it all started, and now we’ve been together for 10 years. We grew up together, we did everything together, and that’s how it started, yes.

Bill: Oh, there are some bands that everyone likes, such as Aerosmith, is a fantastic band or the Stereophonics that we all love. So yes, there are some bands, but never had a band you know, some influence, we have always done our own, and never did covers, from the beginning we did our thing. (Darkside Of The Sun)

Bill: No, it’s always different, we can not say ‘OK, this person, or Tom, or I have to write a song,’ no, we do everything together, because we produce, we entered the studio, we traveled together, we know since … Yes, I have spent many years, and we know very well over 7 years. And yes, just enter to the studio, we all give our ideas, and put everything together when we are in the studio. For us it is very important to be alone in the studio, we need not make public appearances, we don’t want to be in the media during this period, just being in the studio … It is very important for us to be focused on music and nothing else. And… yes, so sometimes Tom has ideas on the guitar, I have a melody in my head, and starts to sing, and so we started playing the four, and always a little different. Sometimes we schedule some things, some drums, a keyboard … yes, and it is always different.

Bill: We really are involved in everything. So it all comes from Tokio Hotel. Whether the cover of the new album, a video, really all about. When we are in the studio, when we record a song or something, I have an image in my head, and I know exactly what I want for the single, or recording a video. It is always well and sometimes you just have to find the right people and…

Tom: They help us …

Bill: They help us do what we do, but most of the time, we have the ideas, put everything on paper, and only look for the right people… So, yes, we always give our own ideas, because like this are our songs, if that’s your band, I think the band has to know what is best for the situation, yes.

Bill: I can not imagine …

Tom: Being a twin, it is easier I think, than a brother …

Bill: I can not imagine how it would work without Tom, because we spent all our life together, and every day we do everything together. I do not know, it was natural, normal, forming a band together, we are in the same band, we share the same house, it is very normal. I could never imagine a life without Tom to me. And that applies to him too.

Tom: No.

Tokio Hotel Speak Japanese

Press Conference, Tokyo, Japan [Spanish]

Bild.de - Dirty talk with Tokio Hotel

Guy: We have never seen Tokio Hotel this way. At their three-day-journey to Tokyo the boys show themselves from a completely different side again. At their arrival still having a surprisingly similar style [to his brother Tom], Bill showed his new look later. With a new hairstyle, close-cropped sides and teased top layer of hair. And not only that, also the tone among the brothers is different. Both swear as much as they can when signing autographs.

Bill: Psh!
Tom: Stop bubbling, or I’ll give you a slug! … Bill, I haven’t signed there anywhere, you’ve changed the cards…
Bill: Tom, you have put them down here for me! Are you daft, or what?
Tom: You’ve got a screw loose, boy…
Bill: You have just put them down here for me!
Tom: I have not, they weren’t for you!
-cut-
Tom: Just look at this!
Bill: Tom, I have not done this! Tell me, am I crazy? You have put them there for me!
Tom: Here, yes, and why haven’t you signed it, when I had put it there for you? You are missing here!
Bill: Oh, me?
Tom: Now…?

Guy: And when they’re just in full flow now, they also reveal some old stories…

Bill & Tom: That was in 2005! Or even 2006…
Georg: Well, definitely 2006…
Tom: And back then, the dear Georg was in love with Kelly Clarkson! … Just admit it! I also admit that I once found Angelina Jolie pretty.
Georg (to Bill): I wonder why you even butt in, boy – you want to f*ck Britney Spears!
Bill: So? Better than Gülcan, Georg!
*Twins laughing*
Tom: Gülcan… Nah, Collien! ….
Tom: Or when peed into Georg’s bottle and he drank out of it afterwards… Oh, he doesn’t even know yet?
Bill: Oops…

Guy: But afterwards the boys can control themselves again. At lunch they make peace.

Bill: Cheers to Tokio Hotel in the Tokyo Hotel.
