I feel bad but I just started liking them because me friend told me about them. To make things better with true fans, I have absolutely fallen in love with this band!!!! So I don't know alot about them...Where are they from?
Okay to give you the background information; the quickest way I can xD well lets start with the band consist of four guys; Bill Kaulitz (22), Tom Kaulitz (22), Georg Listing (25), and Gustav Schäfer (24). First off Bill and Tom Kaulitz were born Sept. 1, 1989 which most tokio hotel fans celebrate every year. Tom is 10 minutes older than Bill. They were born in Leipzig, Germany. They were in a movie when they were six years old. When they were about seven their parents divorced; Bill started writing music and Tom started playing the guitar; if I remember correctly, it was their stepdad who inspired this because I think he owned a studio or something like that. Bill and Tom began playing in small clubs and in 2001 at one of their shows they met Georg and Gustav. Bill and Tom were looking for someone to play the bass and drums, in which case Gustav and Georg could do that. They found it incredible that they were all around the same age. Bill and Tom were often made fun of in school, well the whole band was, but especially Bill. In an interview Bill stated that even some teachers said they would not teach him because he wore makeup and had piercings. Over the next several years they continued to play gigs under the name of Devilish. In 2003, Bill joined the show Star Search, in hopes of getting producers to look at his band. While on the show he tried to get the cameras to show the band as much as possible. Bill lost in the final quater of the show, but managers started reconizing the band. The boys all lived together in a studio. At the age of 14, the band had their first record deal. At the time, two record companies were combining to become one, and the boys feared that their chances of having their dreams come true were at stake, but the band signed with Universal Records and changes their name to Tokio Hotel. Tokio because that is their favorite city and one they hoped to someday travel to (and they did) and hotel because that was the dream, to travel and stay in hotels. On August 15, 2005 Tokio Hotel released their first single "Durch Den Monsun" (through the monsoon) which hit #1 in six days, this day for TH fans is known as Durch Den Monsun Day and is also celebrated every year. The twins were only 15 when their first album, Shrei (Scream) was released. The boys soon had to leave school due to not being able to be normal teenagers anymore. In 2007 the band released their second and their album. Zimmer 483 and Scream. July 14, 2007 TH had a concert in Paris, France that had 500,000 people including the French President. Between 2006-2008 the band had I think 2 European tours. In March 2008; Bill had a cyst on his vocal cords and had to have surgery, most people feared he might never sing again, but he was okay and in 2008 TH had their first American tour. In 2009, TH released their fourth album; Humanoid. In 2010 the band released an album called "the best of tokio hotel" which included all their singles. 2011-2012 the activity is slow; In 2011 the band went to Japan for the first time, and played at the music award there. The band has been to europe, America, Canada, Mexico, South America, Africa, and Asia and the middle east. The band is known as the biggest international band to come out of Germany in over 20 years; although some germans are not fond of them. Bill and Tom moved from Germany, to Los Angeles in 2010 due to a home invasion. Bill is not only the singer of TH; he also models, acts in movies, and does other things. That kind of sums it up! C: hope this helped.
*For other TH fans, sorry if my info is a little shakey, it has been a while since I have researched the band.
