Musical heir to Ziggy Stardust


Tokio Hotel in the New York Times. “As musical heir to Ziggy Stardust, U2, and Tears for Fears, this German glam-rock band brings its androgynous yearnings to songs steeped in science fiction and bubble gum rock, and it already has a stadium-scale following in Europe. Its second album, “Humanoid,” aims for arena singalongs here too. Oct. 6 release on Cherrytree/Interscope” – The New York Times, Sep. 14, 2009

I know WTF??? TH is not a glam rock band... and not of them are into androgynity. :roll:

Seriously, that sounds like a description for CB and not TH. :neutral:

I just don't understand why they can't see past the image and past Bill. This really upsets me. *sigh*

[vatefairefoutre]

why are they still being called **** like "bubble gum rock" when they have a hardcore SEX song now?!?!? AAAH! I'm so frustrated. :laugh:

I guess that just means they'll have to write an even dirtier sex song then to permanently get out of those stupid labels. you hear that? get to it Bill! ;)

:laugh:

[summer love]

nooo, they have to make a sex tape... songs are not enough, unfortunately. :(

lmao :laugh:


But yes it's really frustrating! :roll:

They make TH sound like some teenie band, and I hate it when that happens.

I agree with this... so wrong to categorize TH with them.. GAH!!

And this.. "androgynous yearnings " I feel violated.. wow.. didn't know TH fans were yearning for androgynous things.. HA.. LOL!!

I didn't even know who Tears for fears were but I took a listen to them. Wtf. That's an insult to TH if they are even compared to them. TH are way better than that crap. I couldn't even get through a whole TFF song. lol

[vatefairefoutre]

HAI I like Tears For Fears! :laugh:

80s music FTW! hahaha

but this remake of one of their songs is way better than any of their stuff though lmao

and well anyways yeah... so not TH though. :laugh:


ugh why can't they just be compared to The Rasmus and MCR?! seriously those are some of the few bands I wouldn't mind TH being compared to. hahaha

uuugh don't even get me started on them being compared to the Jonas Brothers! haha other than the way their fanbases are... no. just no. :laugh:

I personally think their vibe/line up is much more like MCR's (Way brothers anyone? ;)). and their music is much more like The Rasmus'.

Gah! Kaulitz/Way Brothers ftw! And my friend mentioned The Rasmus when she heard Don't Jump. She said the intro sounded like them. OH and uh yeah looky what I found!:
