Rosh 1 - Israel - Issue #1162
LIVE CITY!
Tokio Hotel closed a successful tour and you can win an amazing DVD from the concert!
The Aliens City
You thought your city is boring? Well, it seems like you are right. But no need to feel bad, because there's no city at the same level of "Humanoid City", that comes alive at the amazing tour of Tokio Hotel.
1st September, just a month and a little, will probably be an annoying day (the day the new year of school starts here) but can also be a happy holiday. You decide yourself, if you will want to bury yourself because the summer vacation ended and now you go back to school, or maybe you'll prefer to light a candle and wish a happy birthday to Bill and Tom Kaulitz, because at the same day the twins will celebrate their 21st birthday, absolutely an exciting event. Just remind us to add a picture of the Black Forest Cake, a known German dessert, to our issue of 1st September, that in a cosmic way falls on Wednesday (the day the magazine comes out). Also, if you want to send the brothers some wishes, you are welcome to send them to us and we'll give them straight to their record company, because, as you know, we have great connections with the stars ;-)
Okay, you caught us. Although we mean every word and we are really going to try to give them your wishes, we are also flattering you guys, Tokio Hotel fans, that in the last two months are not really satisfied with us, the best teen magazine in the middle east and probably in the whole world. We admit - Tokio Hotel was neglected a bit here in the last few months. The guilt is mosly about us, but just don't forget that there are reasons - the guys didn't have a new single for more than half a year, we didn't have some juicy news about them since 2009 (when Tom got into a mess with some psychopathic fans that attacked his mom) and although we liked "Strange" a lot from the soundtrack of "Alice In Wonderland", the band kept being pretty calm and gave most of the energy for the European tour, "Humanoid City", that ended not long ago.
Superhuman
Actually, maybe something good really happened out of the tour. No, the guys are not coming back to Tel Aviv to remake their amazing moments from their first and the only performance here (remeber how amazing it was?), but they released last week a new DVD and an album, that shows their unforgettable concert that was at 12th April, this year, in Milan, Italy. At the moment we heard the products are doing their way to Israel, we decided to take care again of our special connection between us and Tokio Hotel, and give them a great cover article. You guys also win from all this, because including with this great article (we are very modest today), you have a one time chance to win copies of the hot DVD and album, so run NOW to page 23. Or maybe after you read the article.
The concert, that was filmed in April, was at the end of the tour of "Humanoid City". To be correct, it was one before the last concert of the tour, when Bill and the friends already felt the end and everything was easy and fun. On the concert, the band is performing all of the songs from the album "Humanoid", including the new single "Darkside of the Sun", that its live version was released as a single in the last month.
On one hand, it's really nice to hear all the songs from the last album in live, but on the other hand they are "replacing" old loved songs. Well, the concert actually includs "Ready, Set, Go" and "Monsoon", bit we'd also be glad to get "Scream" or "Don't Jump", for example. Also, all the songs on the concert are performed in English, except "Humanoid" that got an acoustic version in German.
Give us a ride, Bill
And what happens on the concert except the music? Well, we also were surprised by the impressing stage and the advanced pyrotechnics. Tokio Hotel got some huge fireworks (I don't know how to say that differently, haha) that also worked with the Rolling Stones and Aerosmith, that made their tour unforgettable. All the effort was worth it. The idea of "Humanoid City" is a journy through a futuristic city. The stage is full with lazers and flashing lights and moving bridges and videos that are shown on a huge screen and a space ship that looks like an egg.
In one of the most exciting videos you can see the band members in their "younger times", and Gustav and Tom fighting for a piece of pizza. Wow, very mature. Like they don't have enough money to buy a company of pizzas. Anyway, would you believe that 9 years already passed since Tokio Hotel is a band? (actually under the name Devilish, but okay). And not just this: in one of the most exciting moments of the concert, the stage opens and a huge motorbike comes out of it, that Bill takes an imaginary ride on it. Too bad he doesn't pull a wheelie.
Talking about Bill, we have to mention that he totally healed after his surgery he had two years and half ago. To record an album after a surgery is one thing - because there are always producers and special effects that will fix things in the studio, but a full tour, that you need to go on stage almost everyday and give your soul without playback - it's definitely a different thing. Shortly, there's no need to worry. Bill sounds healthy and better than ever and he totally controled the whole show.
During the concert, the singer changes 4-5 futuristic outfits, that each of them is crazier than the previous one. Tight leather clothes? Yes. Spikes on the shoulders? Yes. Wires that apparently going out of Bill's head and connecting to his back and shining wires that wrap his upper body and look like a part of a space suit? Yes! Until today we thought Bill is a human that was born in Leipzig, Germany, today we are not so sure anymore. Is there a chance that Bill is an alien that was adopted by the Kaulitz family, and that he and Tom are actually not real twins? Good question. If there's any creature on Mars that reads these lines right now and knows the answer - We'll be happy to get an answer. We prefer by e-mails, but also through telepathe is good.
Rehearsals Room
Together with the DVD, comes the most interesting bonus: exclusive video of 10 minutes, that will take you to a trip into the backstage of the show. The guys are actually talking in German, but everything is translated into English, so we are sure you guys will do good with that.
It's amazing to see the first sketches of the stage and its miniature version, that after hard work, sweat and tears became the real thing. "When we saw the set for the first time, we were in doubt that it's possible to build it over and over everyday in a different place", says Bill in the video. "I really have now idea how they do that, respect to them". Then we have Tom that talks about his guitars and Gustav that asks from Bill a bubble gum in chocolate flavor. First pizza and now that?
On the other part of the video, Tom was asked if he'd be interested to change outfits like his brother. "Totally not!", he answers. "Bill needs to change outfits in a minute and I just wouldn't handle it. Anyway, these outfits are heavy and limit the ability to move on stage. I have to be moveable and I don't have time to think about outfits, because many other thoughts are in my head during the show". What kind of thoughts? "to play the right notes and find the prettiest girls in the audience". Hey, at least Tom is a honesy guy, and honesty is one of the things girls are searching in a guy, no?
And lets finish with a message to all Georg's fans! We'd really want to tell you what's new about him, but the guy barely says a word, and most of the time is busy by playing his bass and keyboard. Nevermind, at least he was ranked as the hottest member in Tokio Hotel, after a poll we made, and this is the sign to all Bill's fans to attack our e-mail in angry mails. We are preparing ourselves.
