The Breakthrough: ,,Durch den Monsun''
BRAVO shows in highlight-review, how Tokio Hotel in even twelve months worked out to be the most succesfull german newcomer-band ever..
Tokio who? When Tom, Bill, Gustav and Georg in August 2005 hang around at the BRAVO-redaction for the first time, they're still totally unknown. Four pupils with a record-deal and a big dream. But the whole redaction mentioned very soon: These four guys are something very special. They have a quite magic look. A whole special look. They are still so young and unbelieveble talented. And they have made a mega-single: ,,Durch den Monsun'' - a song which entrains and touches, churns and enthuses, who is saying what millions of german teenagers are feeling. Tokio Hotel are ambitious. They are prepared to fight for their succes. They know, that it doesn't come by itself, that you have to work for recognition. In every free minute they practice in their practiceroom in Magdeburg. At the 'Rock in die Ferien' Open Air in Erfurt they can prove that it has rewarded: They rock like professionals and after the concert they have to give their first autograms. For their debut-single the four make their first video in Leuenberg near Berlin. They are really excited, but prepared though. However the boys are so young, they've worked four years for their breakthrough, though. Already since their early childhood they dreamed to be succesfull musicians. For their first video they go accordingly to the limit: Bill, for example, hanged with his head above a lake for 30 minutes. After that he had to sing with his face in an aquarium. All the boys became wet to their bones during the performance because of artifical rain. But the effort has his rewarding: Tokio Hotels first video is awesome. Still before that video is broadcasted for the first time and is making the hearts of million girls pounding harder, Bravo brings the first 'Doppelseiten.' [What do they mean with that? Posters or something?] The resonance is absolutly overturning. Thousands of girls write is every day, although they hadn't even heared a song from the band: 'Who are those four boys? From where are they? Give us more about Tokio Hotel!' Bravo poweres the band further, is always printing the newest stories and posters. In their own recordstudio in München rockt Tokio Hotel for the first time live for the Bravo-editors. Soon is clear: This band is real und also Bills look is no well-thought idea from the recordcompany, but the creation of the charismatic singer. The Magdeburger was already looking this unique before he was on the Bravo-cover. The debut-single ,Durch den Monsun' releases on the 15th of August 2005 and changes the german popworld for always. Bill, Tom, Gustav and Georg conquer the hearts of the fans as in a storm. Teenagerrooms from the Northsea to the Bodensea is wallpapered by Tokio Hotel posters. Suddenly it's busy at the german hairdressers: A lot of fans want Bills manga-haircut. The 'Durch den Monsun'-video is broadcasted on tv all day and night. In every youthroom drones the Mega-hit, they sing along with every single sentence. All the people who thought that the four boys from Magdeburg were like any schoolband, becomes to know better: At the 29th of August, Tokio Hotels debutsingle rushes into the charts. Proud five weeks the awesone song stands at the number one position. At the beginning of August 2005 were Tokio Hotel four teenagers with a dream. At the end of August they were on their way, to become the pop-phenomenon of a whole generation. Tokio Hotel - the most succesfull newcomer-band of Germany.
September 2005
Real Rockstars
Only one month needed Tokio Hotel to become stars. Also with their first album they rushed into the number one position in the charts.
Before summerholiday they were students. Now are Bill, Tom, Gustav and Georg suddenly rockstars. For the school are waiting autogramm-hunters, in class are the first people who envy them. The boys live their biggest dream. Every week they get thousands of fan-letters, on the street they need already bodyguards in the meantime. Wherever they are, they cause deafing screamstorms. At the first of september the twins celebrate their 16th birthday. Just their close friends are invited - and of course also Gustav and Georg. And a team from Bravo, who bring a huge birthdaycake for the twins. But there are more reasons to celebrate: During the time that 'Durch den Monsun' was still on the number one position of the charts the whole time, they finished their album. 15 cool rocksongs, unter that also a few super-nice ballads. One week before the releasing at the 19th of september are 5 bravo-readers allowed to hear the whole album already. The best: Tokio Hotel is there in personal! After every song they ask the happy fans if they liked it. The judgement is always the same: Sensationel! No wonder, that ,Schrei' rushed into the number one position of the albumcharts from 0. Bravo makes an exclusive rockstar-photoshooting with the four students. Two days long they pose for the camera in glamrock-look. In the meantime are Bil, Tom, Gustav and Georg become professionals in posing - and they like it. Also that belongs to the life of a rockstar...
October 2005
Swift
October is just one triumph journey for Tokio Hotel. They win their first award and record again some new songs.
Describing October is for the Tokio Hotel-fans just as a scream in their memories. Yet as a cry of joy. At Comet 2005 are Tokio Hotel the absolute winners. They can't believe the enthousiasm by theirself when they become the award for best newcomer-act. At his speech Bill has tears in his eyes and the other boys are speechless from joy. But the party hasn't ended yet. Tokio Hotel wins also the Super-Cometen who is distributed under all the winners of the evening. Germany stands on his head [German expression, don't now the english one] Four young rockers have won from establised performers as Sarah Connor, Xavier Naidoo and Fettes Brot. The boys are as in a fuddle. To thank the fans they recorded two bonustracks for their second single 'Schrei:' 'Schwarz' and 'Beichte.' "We always want to give our fans the newest things. Something they don't know yet from the album," explains Bill. Also for Bravo goes Bill and the others for once in the studio and record an acoustic version of Leb' die Sekunde, who is also in stores. A little Bravo-reader makes Bill especially happy: The little Daniel-Tuam from Stuttgart is a huge fan and style himself exactly like the singer. When Bill sees a picture of him in Bravo, he asks for a meeting. After that they're both enthousiastic. "Bill is cool,' finds Daniel-Tuam. The next big scream: Gustav has, so-called, a girlfriend. The fans are shocked. But just after a few weeks is Gustav single again. At the making of the video of 'Schrei' the boys have really fun. They rock, as fast possible, ruin a hotelroom and they throw amplifiers from the stairs. Next cry of joy for the fans: Bravo releases the first Tokio Hotel-special.
November 2005
The first golden!
November: Tokio Hotel becomes their first medal of honour and wrote Bravo history..
A true valuable month for Tokio Hotel! Already for their first single 'Durch den Monsun' they become their first golden record! At a party in Berlin hands their recordcompany the trophies over to Bill, Tom, Gustav and Georg. Also Bravo becomes a gold disk - "For the support in our first months. You were the first magazine which really believed in us!" says Bill happy. But the boys haven't a lot of time to celebrate: The first Tokio-Hotel-Tour is planned, and they still have to practice diligently a lot! For two weeks the four bandmembers enclose theirself in a practice-room in Osnabrück. The fans are already excited for the liveshow. After just 120 hours are all tickets for the nine TH-concerts in December sold! And even more fan-insanity: unbelieveble 56000 readers write to Bravo, because they want to win a meeting with their favorite band! That hasn't almost happened in 50 years of Bravo-history! At the end 100 happy winners experience to be very close to TH - a lot of them have travelled 12 hours! And like November still hadn't brought enough highlights: Tokio Hotel is invited for their first big awardshow! At the MTV Europe Music Awards in Lissabon are Bill, Tom, Gustav and Georg 'just' guests - but the first, own prices are following short time later!
December 2005
On full speed!
Four months after their breakthrough they makes their biggest dream come true: They go touring on the first time!
A dream come true: Tokio Hotel goes on their first Germany-tour. Nine concerts give Bill, Tom, Gustav and Georg in December for altogether over 30.000 fans. In 70 minutes they play each evening the songs from their album 'Schrei,' also the bonustracks 'Schwarz' and 'Beichte' - and the fans are going wild. Already in the night before the concert there sleep Tokio-Hotel-fans for the halls in minus degrees, to be sure that they become a good place at the sold out concert. During the concert they scream so loud that you can't barely hear the music. Bill, Tom, Gustav and Georg enjoy the touring-life and the hype as much as they can. Then the shock: Bill and Gustqav have the flu and have to be in bed for three days. The concerts in Köln and Hamburg were shifted. Especially Bill had to spare his voice - because a neglected flu can ruin your voice. Because of that he can't really celebrate, when Tokio Hotel in Berlin becomes Platinum for their album 'Schrei.' Insanity: The cd is sold 200.000 times. Nevertheless: Bill doesn't dare to speak and the band leaves the party after 20 minutes. The reason: The tour goes for everything! Tokio Hotel doesn't want to disappoint their fans. And so they are standing on stage in München again in three days and they give everything. The fans are relieved and scream as loud as they can ..
January 2006
Bills big surprise!
A new year, a new Bill! His new 'longhaircut' is The TH-sensation in January 2006...
The new year 2006 isn't 4 weeks old yet - when Tokio-Hotel-sweetheart Bill surprises the fans with a sensation: His look is completely new! Goodbye Manga-haircut, hello long hair! Nice: Before, Bill hadn't told anyone about his change! Not even his band-colleagues Gustav and Georg knew about this. Even his twinbrother Tom had no idea until Bill stood in front of him! What's behind this sudden change? Bill:' Nothing special. I just wanted a change.' After BRAVO published the first photos from the new Bill, whole Germany was talking about it. All media wrote about Bills new look and thousands of fans wrote letters and emails to Bravo. , His new haircut is strange, but awesome though.', writes a feminine fan, deputy for many followers. No question: Who liked Bill already, he has more now..
February 2006
The sensationvideo!
In February Bill, Tom, Gustav and Georg continue their cheered Livetour and make a mega-cool video...
When Tokio Hotel are going on the second part of their 'Schrei'-tour in February, the hype around the boys is grown powerfully! This time they play in even bigger arenas, with even more awesome spotlights, for even more fans. They all want to see Bills new look. They all want to hear how awesome the former pupil-band live rockt. Equal, where Tokio Hotel plays - the tickets are sold within less minutes. For altogether 175.000 fans play Bill, Tom, Gustav and Georg during their 7-weeks-tour. It's the most succesfull newcomer-tour in Germany ever. During these times they live only in hotels, are almost never at home. "We love it, to be on tour", says Tom. "Only packing our suitcases annoys." On stage the boys give a perfect show. Highpoint at every concert: "Rette mich." Bill sings this nice rockballad with so much feelings that the fans get goosebumps. The song becomes the third single of the band. For that they even record it once again - with new string-players and Bills meanwhile lower voice. In a studio in Berlin-Spandau Bill, Tom, Gustav and Georg make "Rette mich", their till then most costly Video - with sensational effects: Walls are moving, a face emerges from a wall, the boys seem to fight against the gravity. Behind this mega-cool effect is an easy trick: All scenes are filmed on a slant surface. When the single and video conquer the charts the band takes time for another project. Bill, Tom, Gustav and Georg engage theirselfs for "Schau nicht weg!" (Don't look away!), the big Bravo-action against violence on schools. The boys were photographed with the logo from the action - and the poster hanged everywhere in Berlin. The result: hundrerds of the posters where pinched by Tokio Hotel fans. The insanity continues..
