Mod: What happened with the sweet Bill Kaulitz? I was so shocked when I saw him for the last time in the Tv. A mixture out of a scarecrow and a killer doll, awful. But together with Tokio Hotel he made one of the biggest success stories you can ever imagine. Then you can afford such a style…

Male mod: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome in the Tokio Hotel. Equipped with 4 independently musicians the band hotel offers extravagant looks and rocking soundscapes. With their opening the four owners Bill, Tom, Gustav and Georg thrill millions satisfied guests all over the world.

But this wasn’t always like this. The Tokio Hotel was unknown at the beginning of 2003. It was like a hovel and almost no one is interested in the musical offering of the house. So the hotel chef Bill Kaulitz decides to apply as the mouthpiece of the house with only 13years at the Sat1 casting show “Star Search” to get his Tokio Hotel in the conversations.

Bill: I’m speechless, I first have to handle it

Mod: Bills big wish seems to be close. He only has to give Tokio Hotel a voice through his performance to get the rock pension finally famous. But the clients are not really convinced from the concept of the hotel. The audience decides against the singer and sends him home. But the hotel is used to lose since their founding.

Bill: Tom and me knows it since we’re 9 when we walked through the village. There were always people who hate us. And we know that not everyone thinks it’s great to see us in front of the camera

Mod: All more surprising is that only few weeks after the elimination suddenly some investors have interest in the hovel. They want to convince themselves from the benefits of the Tokio Hotel at a performance in the near of Magdeburg.

Tom: That was a really great concert. We were in a good mood, the audience too.

Mod: The investors are thrilled and are ready to spend money in a generous expansion of the hotel. The 4 owners get rewarded for their concept with an exclusive contract.

Bill: Suddenly we didn’t play in a small club anymore and had a sold out venue and that was really wicked.

Mod: Thanks to expressive color tones the first single becomes a hit and makes the house over night to a hip hotel. Suddenly the Tokio Hotel is in every mouth. The four hotel owners hit a whole generation with their sound. Especially teenies owns to their regular guests and break down their doors. The Tokio Hotel owns the media for weeks and gets plenty of awards.

Bill: We never, and that’s not just saying, we never expected that. Never.

Mod: As less with their biggest success. They reach to become a luxury hotel through their performance at the EMA’s in America. Surprisingly they reach to get the award for the best InterAct, the award for the international most successfully band hotel. Through only 5years they reached to get their Tokio Hotel to a top address for rock music made in Germany

"Bill Kaulitz: Trash one day. West Hollywood.

When the leader of Tokio Hotel changes his look (the end of the porcupine hair and eyeliner) is to become blond and wearing a white shirt. The newcomer ideal son? Be carefull, the 23 years-old, Bill was always taken for a rebel. Evidenced by the tattoo, which is the skeleton of his hand! Charming..."
