The Avalon (Los Angeles) 05.13.08

[serrayyy]

the show was amazing and bill's voice was actually not as bad as the TRL or the conan performances. well from i was which was the second row. they played RSG, scream, final day, raise your hands, totgeliebt, black, by your side, monsoon, don't jump, on the edge, breakaway, rescue me, and durch den monsun. i think that's all of the songs. pretty much like the roxy show but with black(oh yeah). i can't feel my toes from standing on it throughtout the show. some chick was ******* me off and i swear i was about to punch her. i short but that doesn't mean you could rest your fck'n arm on my head. lol

after the show i just walk straight out but took a quick glance what the merch were and it was about the same thing so i just went outside. then i saw people waiting and so i went to see what's up. when i saw that tobi was putting barricades(sp) i knew they were gonna sign autographs. thank fck'n goodness i was behind the people in front. they probably took 20-30 mins to came out. i wanted to touch them but my other hand was holding on to the bar and i was just standing on it to see. i'm so small >.< i got bill's and tom's autographs on the CD some woman was giving out. lol

the days was inredible and hella fun! the show was amazing! but i'd say the signing is the icing on the cake :D

i'll post pictures later, but they are crappy. and a video (:

Gustav's water bottle fell right between my sister's legs and so many girls were going for it but i just swooped down and grabbed it.
The concert was amazing. Got there at about 6 and the girls got in line (I was with my girlfriend, our sister, and our good friend Hana). I went to the willcall line which was :) much shorter. Met some fans that came all the way from australia. Saki walked past me a few times then the official photographer Sebastian walked by and was taking fanshots. I was hoping to be in one but it turned out he came up and took shots of just me by myself! It was so exciting lol he took two of just me, and then came back for a group shot with me and two other fans :D. He wouldn't take a picture with me though lol he said he took too many with other girls. But still, I was so just in awe that he took shots of me by myself. I hope i'm put up somewhere.
Then some guy who was doing interviews actually came up to me and the australian girl and asked if he could interview us. He talked to her first about like TH's fanbase in Australia and what not, then asked me why I was there (because there were hardly any male fans). He flattered the you know what out of me, by saying that I resembled Bill with the style that I dressed and such, to which I replied " :-[ :)nooooo". I told my story of how I bought a plane ticket last minute and jumped ship from San Francisco to here in just a day. It wasn't cammed though, just a recorded interview, but that's alright. Finally at 8 the doors opened, and lol willcall line got in very fast. I had to pee so i tried going into the bathroom but almost accidentally walked into the girl's bathroom. Met up with my group and we went into the main room. As soon as everyone got up from standing down we immediately all starting getting squished from everyone pushing to get to the front. I was more concerned about the girls I was with so I sort of formed a pseudo-wall with my hands on both Hana's and Jenna's waist and little sister brandi right in front of me. Jenna moved her way up to the front about halfway through and got to the gate where she took pics with my phone. (They said cameras weren't allowed but so many girls brought theirs! My phone's camera isn't half bad though.) Hana, Brandi and I stayed together throughout the whole show, sweating up a storm and being pushed back and forth.
as for the music!
Curtains pulled up with the band starting with Ready Set Go!
Bill takes off his jacket and sings Final Day afterward. The rest are sort of in a jumble lol i'm a little too excited to remember the order, but I should be fairly close.
Scream
Black
Totgeliebt
Don't Jump
Raise Your Hands
Break Away
Monsoon
On The Edge
and finished with By Your Side

or did they? haha of course not!
after Tom threw his pick out (some girl on the left side of me got it)
they came back around for Rescue Me.
the song was amazing, and right when Bill sang in our direction I grabbed Brandi and lifted her up as high as possible, because she is probably more in love with Bill than I am.
They then went and sang Durch Den Monsun! which was awesome, We were so sweaty and singing along so loudly, and I swear at some point it looked like he was singing right at me when he was like
"Durch den Monsun, dann wird alles gut"
after they finished with a bow and "danke schon!"
the watter bottles were thrown. Bill's was first, and some lucky ***** to the left of me got it, then tom threw out a towel, which I mentioned earlier. Georg threw his bottle out to the right, and Gustav apparently (from what my girlfriend said) tossed out some drumsticks but I didn't see any. Then he drenched us in the water he drank out of and tossed the bottle. It fell right by my sister's feet so I bent straight down and grabbed it, feeling his god like power in my hand. Put it to my lips just to say I did, and so did Brandi so yeah I had an indirect kiss with Gustav ;).
Afterwards, they apparently signed a few things but like, I doubt i would've made it because that crowd was huge so we got out of there and grabbed a bunch of water at the nearest 7 eleven. The bottle is next to me now, and I ended up scoring a hoodie out of the whole thing :)
overall, probably the best night ever, My idol was 15 ft away from me and we went Through the Monsoon together.
That was a night I will not forget.

ah and I forgot to mention I got to meet up with Julie (pygmyxpuff) there for a bit, and she's just as awesome in person as she is here. Really really nice girl, thanks for talking with me Julie :P

I think she stayed for autographs too, I hope she had an awesome time

Hey... went to my first Tokio Hotel show @ the Avalon & went to the signing the night before. It was cool to see the band, but it was a bummer not to be able to take a pic with them or anything personal. It was a controlled environment...so it should have been safe for them to get to visit with the fans a bit.UMMMM. I really dont want to get any hate posts...but it was the worst and yet one of the best concert I have been to. The best because the guys did a great job, the music was tight & Bill did not hit one flat note! They were awesome. Now for the worst part. I know the fans are loyal and excited etc....but they were honestly one of the most disrespectful crowds I have ever been in. In line everyone was jacked, happy and excited to be there. All pretty much getting along. But as soon as the doores opened and we were allowed to go up to the stage, people were actually kneeing people in the legs & backs, pushing peoples ribs trying to shove closer to a spot they did not origionally have. It never let up during the entire show. My mom was standing behind me and my brother with her hand on the railing to brace herself so she could try to keep us from getting crushed and a couple of girls were actually telling her off and saying that her have was a bother, it was their space and she needed to move it. She asked politely if she could keep it there sto steady herself & they said no. It was disgusting. :) On top of that...It was exhausting just trying to hold your ground from mean, pushy people that you did not get to enjoy the show as much as you should have been able to. I am sure that would not make the band feel great. My little brother had to be taken over the barrikade before the band even came on. He was really sad. I was in the second row and ended up asking to be taken out close to the end. I loved the show and the guys were great, but it was just exhausting being kneed, shoved, stepped on, hair pulled etc. I was outside after the show and saw them get in the car & drive away. But I did not go by the crowd LOL I would see them again though... just not in LA. P.S. Okay.. :) thats it.This is just my experience & opinion.

[Israelifan]

lol I can agree here, I remember one of the girls was like about to faint and I feel a little bad because I had to get aggressive to help her out because when she was trying to get out of the mob girls were just shoving her and stuff and like pushing her so I ended up just pushing like 4 girls back at once with my arm just so she could get breathing room. Some of those girls were nuts. One had her arm on my friends face so I just put my head next to my friends and blocked out the arm and the girl kept kicking me after that because she was mad. :( crazy...

I went to the concert it was soooo amazing! I was right in the middle in the front row! I cant believe i made it there, because when i entered my friend and i were all the way in the back. And some how we mannaged to get all the wayy to the front. Anway, as soon as the songs started i went crazy, screaming and what not. At some point in the beggining of the show, Bill was looking in my direction, but i was sure if i was making eye contact, but then we did make i contact ( you know how you can just tell, even if its not someone famous, it could be someone walking down the street an happen to make eye contact, you just know you did( but yea, I made eye contact with Bill like at least 9 or 10 times throughout the show, allong with smiles nad pointing and all that good stuff. I thought it was kinda funny that i made eye contact with everyone in the band, but i would turn away in like half a sencond into it and look at Bill, i couldnt help my self! By the end of the show i was drenched in sweat, and i got even more soaked when Tom, Gustav and Georg started wetting everyone, then Bill came back took a drink from his bottle and since i was right in front of him when he started wetting everyone i soo wet from his bottle ( i could see the big blobs of water in the wair right before they hit me and the people around me hahahah). s

So my friend and i left the building and we saw a crowd so we waited there hoping that this was where the band would come out from. I manahed to get to the front of that crowd as well haahahaha. Then all of a sudden the big black really shiny escalade, you could tell this was their ride. And soon after i notice the guys coming over and everyone goes crazy again. I gave up trying to get an autograph cause there was a body gaurd like right in front of me. So i decided i just wanted to touch bill's hand at least. And when he came by, I did! I was caressing his arm and hand! I was just rubbing it! I had to let go so my hand could go around the body gaurd, and i screamed towards my friend "i touched his hand!!!!" and then by the time i reached back i touched tom's shoulder, but as soon as i noticed Bill was within reach again, i caressed his arm and hand again! I couldnt believe how soft his hand was, I was in shock! and i could stop laughing cause he never really pulled away either just when he finally got in the escalade! So as soon as he got in the car i raced over to the side of the street with some other fans and waved good bye to them with everyone else, and they waved back! hahahaha

I cant believe how fun the whole experience was! I feel addicted, i need to go to another of their concerts hahahaha I get all excited just hinking about the whole thing, it all felt and still feels so surreal. But yea i just thought i would share my sexperience hahahah
thats all i can remember at the moment, im sure ill remember more cool things that happened but, when im telling people about how it was, i get so excited i forget to mention some parts hahahaha
thanks for reading

[powerrpop]

i'm glad to know the performance went really well (i was nervous about Bill singing a full set for the first time since surgery haha) but i'm sorry the crowd was so inconsiderate. =\ i really hate to hear stuff like that.

[riku_harada]

The concert was awesome! And Tokio Hotel was totally awesome at the signing! super nice, I think!!

However... at the Avalon... I was kinda irritated that the fans in the back kept pushing and so... everyone in the front (Which was where I was) was all crammed together and it was really sweaty... and really gross... it was really hard to breathe. >.< After the concert started... it was awesome! I was totally happy to see bill so cool-like and sexy in front of my eyes!!!

But then I got pulled out and missed like... 2 songs.. >.< "Scream" and "Don't Jump". I came back when they were playing "Totgeliebt". But I went to the balcony. It was really cool! And I had a GREAT view of them from the balcony! :D

All in all... it was awesome!

The signing was really cool too! :D But I so wish I could have taken a picture... ;_;

[anjelwingz]

Yeah the show was AWESOME!! Although the one at the Roxy was more intimate or personal or whatever but this one was still AMAZING!! Although yeah the crowd sucked this time. THe shoving and cursing and just plain rudeness was just dumb! I has someone resting there arm on my head so I had to keep shoving it off and people trying to push me out of the way and then say it wasn't them....whatever. But why dwell on the bad when they boys were GREAT and the show was too. Fans should just have more respect for each other and remember that we are all there to see them and all get to see the same show whether you are in front or in the back.
I wish the CD signing was longer and that we could've gotten pics but it was nice to see them up close for a few seconds...*sigh* :mrgreen: :)

[Mareth]

I had so much fun. I went with my sister but she wasn't feeling all that well so she just sat out but it was so exciting to actually see them. I still have a hard time believing I was there because it went by so fast. I saw them, in person, not just from their video's and I heard them live. I had the uncomfortable realization that they were only human beings, not these divine specimen, but I got over it and had tons of fun. I guess it's a good thing to realize they are just like normal people, but happen to be international rockstars. Which I think would be the coolest job in the world. I left right after the show but it was still awesome. I hope they had fun. They seemed to really enjoy the last song they performed. They were all smiling and stuff. It was cool.

[serrayyy]

i was expecting the crowd to be like that from the roxy one. but this time it seems to be more smushing than swaying. being short that i am i could hardly breathe. but it was cool that georg made like a second eye contact with me :D lol

next time i'm going to another TH concert i'll probably be in the back. or maybe wear shoes like julie if i'm planning to be in the crowd. hahah

Lol. yeah... in the front... for a little bit, everyone nearly fell at the exact same time.

and I know where you're coming from with the being short and all. >.<; I was totally like that too... Me and my 4'11" self... >.>;;

[Scream_TH]

OMG!!!! It was such a BLAST!!! Julie and I were like hyperventalating before they opened the door. lol. Then we got smashed and separated. (that sucked) lol. But in all it was so much fun. =0)

then during the concert tom came over to our side seriously like over a million times!! and the first time he did, he just kept looking at me with his sexy face!! he looked so hot! but i tried not to go crazy, i just smiled and kept singing! then everytime he came over he looked right at me and my friend katie, then we looked over at eachother and freaked out and looked back at him and he smiled! it was so cuteeee it was seriously eye sex i swear,. then whhen bill was singing he bent down and was looking right into my eyes while singing!! aww it was amazing!! soo ffreeaking cute! he seriously stared in my eyes for about 10 seconds, tom did more, but yeah,, omg it was just great, then i got toms guitar pic he like threw it right toward me but it fell and i didnt leave till i got it from under me lol and i got gustavs drum stick but some guy came up to me like begging me for it and he said he would give me 40 dollars so i thought id be nice and i did lol and yeah after i was so delirious cuz i had only slept for 1 hour since 2 nights before, so we were just waiting outside behind the barracades, (in front again :]] ) and i got a video of tom signing my poster,....he doesnt look up, but he signs it...

[Danilovestokiohotel]

A friend of mine got her blanket STOLEN so i'm trying my best to help out. please read this:

I know the odds of finding the person that's responsible aren't very good, but I hope the more attention this gets, maybe they'll slip up and someone will notice it.. So please repost this!

For those that don't know what happened in Hollywood this past week, after the concert at the Avalon was over, when people started leaving the venue, I collapsed. I'm fine thanks to all of the wonderful people that helped me up and to safety, but in the time that it took my friends to make sure I was all right, someone had snatched my blanket of little Bill.


There's a picture of me and a picture of the blanket at the bottom of the post for reference. There is NOT another blanket like this, if you see anyone mention having this Devilish Bill blanket, it IS stolen. The only other one like it was given to me by Salty as a replacement (THANK YOU SO MUCH!) and she's not making another one like it until this one is found.


If you see anyone posting a picture of them with the blanket or talking about getting a Devilish Bill blanket or ANYTHING suspicious, please email me at soltseig[at]gmail. com.
Please do not take action yourself!

Some people did take pictures with the blanket during the line, so there very well may be a few legitimate pictures and stories with the blanket out there and we don't want to accuse anyone of anything until we're certain we've found the right person.


Please, if you read this and want to help, repost it to your Tokio Hotel communities, forums, Myspaces etc. Even though I do have a replacement blanket, I would like to find who had the nerve to steal my precious little Bill and I think we all deserve to know if there is a shameless thief among us.


Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and if you repost, thank you even more!

[thehka]

i wanted to go so badly :/

[IshiKaulitz]

I went to that concert too. My friend and me walked in and the place was bearly getting packed. But me and my friend just happened to end up in the Second Row :)
I was so excited. Then they started playing all of thier songs and we were like WOOH! and we got all crazy. What I like about Tokio Hotel is that at thier concerts they all play with the audience. Like they loook at you and make little cute faces. Like Tom, He kept on looking at me and my friend and he would tip his hat and bite his lip piercing. Gahh! It was so fun.
Then at the end of the show, when they started throwing all of the water bottles, I was drenched! I would look up and get my face splashed. I got water thrown on me by everyone especially Georg. Then when Gustav threw his water, My friend caught it and handed it to me. I was LIke Woah! What just happened. haha
But that was really fun. I was singing my lungs out. haha.

[sarahelizabeth]

the show was amazing. i was in the front row, made friends with the german reporters and enjoyed the music. after the show, i climbed in their second story backstage room. which was interesting, it was amazing- cause now ive been talked about on interviews, chats, etc. the next show i went to in SF, CA some of the fans had heard of me, haha. anyways, i got up there and started freaking out, but then the security guard kicked me down the stairs, i got some bruises. then i went back outside, saw that my dad was able to get a VIP pass and tried to get back in, i got backstage again. and watched them walk to their car. then i ran around and got their autograph, and followed the escalade to their private hotel. before their security got out, i ran inside the lobby - tom and georg waiting for the elevator and bill walking towards them, i was running away from the 6 security guards. whipped out my camera and got a shot of bill keeping out of the way, it was great. the next shows i went to, they actually knew who i was, somehow the security figured out where i lived. i miss tobi nowadays though, i met gustav at the san fran show and got into their hotel at the denver show haha. it was good times, i miss them now. anyone know when their next tour is?
