The best way to describe the glam-metal-emo-pop-tween group is like the Jonas Brothers for girls who prefer chipped black nail polish and fishnet stockings to unicorn puffy stickers and purity rings. Because the Magedburg-bred quartet has already dominated Europe in every way possible - selling more than 6 million CDs and DVDs since forming in 2001, playing for 500,000 people beneath the Eiffel Tower, filling their parents' homes with various statuettes - Tokio Hotel has had no recourse but to turn its attention to America.

When they finally walked onstage, you half expected kohl-eyed front man Bill Kaulitz, 18, identical twin brother and guitarist Tom, bassist Georg Listing, 21, and drummer Gustav Schäfer, 19, to be holding Guitar Hero controllers rather than real instruments. The group's songs have a whiff of late-period Smashing Pumpkins, all chugging metal riffs and overheated wailing on metal throwbacks like "Monsoon" and "Love Is Dead." But the lyrics (roughly translated) and carefully studied rock-star poses seem custom-made for people whose primary source of music is "Donkey Kong 18″ or whatever.

Still, it's hard to resist an androgynous singer with extra large hair and extra small jeans. Bill Kaulitz doesn't have much range, but was extremely down to earth and had a way of making teen angst sound downright life-affirming, especially when in his broken English on "Ready, Set, Go!" he sang, "Together we can make it while the world is crashing down."

That song just earned Tokio Hotel a nomination at the MTV Video Music Awards, which is pitting the group against heavyweights like Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears and, yes, the Jonas Brothers. The possibility of having to let its secret go mainstream only made the fan base all the more rabid. The girls filling out the front of the venue screamed when Bill Kaulitz splashed them with water from his bottle. They screamed when he held up a megaphone before singing the title track from the group's U.S. debut, "Scream." They even screamed for the black curtain that silently hung onstage before the band arrived at the venue. Accordingly, there was no opening act, because as the group's manager noted before the set, "They would be killed."

På teenmags hemsida har man ju under att  tag kunnat skicka in frågor
till Tokio Hotel, här kommer de första utvalda frågorna inklusive svar :-D

1. How did you get in to music?
Bill: We all started really early. Tom and I started when we were about seven. Back then
it was only the two of us. Tom got into playing the guitar because of our step dad and I really
wanted to sing - I was always too lazy to learn an instrument :-). We started writing our own
songs and performed wherever we could - at weddings, birthday parties and little clubs.
Gustav: I started playing the drums when I was about five. I always used to drum with my
fingers on everything that came along :-) - so my parents decided to give it a real try and got me lessons.
Georg: I was in high school when my friends decided to start a band. They where looking for a
bass player and I thought "That's pretty cool, I can do that"...so that's how I started.

2. You've just been nominated for Best Pop Video at the MTV VMA's. How does it feel to
be gaining so much success here in the U.S.?
Bill: Oh my god, it is sooooo amazing and we're all so excited. This is something we didn't
dare to dream of!
Tom: We all freaked out when we received the great news. Our fans are really amazing
and we can't believe that they made this happen for us.

3. Why did you pick Tokio Hotel to be your new band name?
Tom: That happened a few years ago. We decided to look for a new band name when we
started to work in the studio - so it must've been at least five years ago. That was a really
new beginning for us and we wanted to start with a name that really fit us.

4. Bill, what is your favorite song that you wrote?
Bill: That's really hard and I can't actually pick one ‘cause every song has a special meaning
to me and is personal. But if I had to I probably would choose "Live Every Second" - that's one
of the first songs I wrote. I was eight or nine back then.

5. Were the four of you always interested in music?
Bill: Yes, music has always been what we all wanted to do. We put all our time and energy in
 music. During the week we went to school and on the weekends we played wherever we could.
What we are doing today is all we ever wanted. And I can't even imagine what I would have
become besides a singer.
Tom: Hmmm, if I wasn't a musician I would probably work at the playboy mansion as
Hugh Hefner's personal assistant. (lol) Georg would work as construction worker and do a lot
of body building in his free time and Gustav would be a trucker!

6. Tom: Is it true that you still have your teddy bear?
 Tom: You must be talking about Georg. He has his one with him all the time. And guess
what name he gave him?? Tom!!!
Georg: Ohhhhhh sure....

7. What do you like to do during your free time??
Bill: Sleep! We sleep in as long as possible.
Tom: If nobody wakes me up I sleep ‘till the afternoon.
Georg: Yeah, sleeping, eating, sleeping again, watching DVDs and going to bed
Bill: Gustav is a little different - he's really an early bird.
Gustav: Yes, I wake up quiet early and then I like to meet friends, ride my bike, do all kinds of
sports and spend time with my family.

8. Did any of you guys have imaginary friends when you were younger and if so, what
were their names?
All (laughing): NO!
Tom (laughing): Well, to tell you a secret: Georg has some imaginary friends and they
might be his only ones besides us...

9. Where do you see yourself in ten years?
Bill: Hopefully on stage!
All: Yes!
Bill: We really want to do this as long as possible - till we're old and gray :-)

10. Which part of the world that have you visited have you liked the most?
Bill: Ohhh, that's a hard one...! Each and every single country has it's own nice and special qualities,
they are all very different and hard to compare!
Tom: In Russia there are the best parties.
Georg: We all love Italian food - so Italy is great as well.
Gustav: Yeah, and the French have such a sweet accent "Guestaw"...
Bill: We also love America! The food, N.Y. , L.A., the weather is so great, and as we are traveling
through the middle of the country now we are learning that there are lots of amazing places
to discover, it's just awesome!
Tom: I have to say, there are hot girls everywhere, I wanna meet them all! But we are always
 happy to come home once in a while to be with our families and friends, that is so important!

Hi everyone!
Today we had a day off in Chicago and it was gorgeous. But let's start from the beginning
 - at the Detroit show and the Oakland signing session at Hot Topic. Well, the show in Detroit
was awesome since the venue there was really beautiful and the fans were just incredible...
we couldn't ask for anything better!

the day after the show we departed on our tour bus for Oakland where we met our fans in one
 of the Hot Topic stores in a mall. The employees at the store were at least as astounded as we at
how many fans came out to the signing - it was huge!

To me these signing sessions are always something very special because we get to meet the
 fans face-to-face and hear so many of their stories, they tell us what moves them and also share
their feelings. This is truly inspirational and I get so many ideas for our new songs from that
- thanks so much for all of that!

after the in-store we headed towards Chicago. Georg and Tom talked pretty much the
whole way about the fans...like who was the sweetest girl or whose number they'd love to have
- such dreamers they are sometimes! A highlight on the drive to Chicago was a stop at one
 of the supermarkets! The bus dropped us right in front of the entrance and I have to tell you:
I love these gigantic supermarkets - they just have everything you want, including my favourite sweets,
 all the fruit you can dream of and even birdhouses - seriously, they carry birdhouses... crazy!
On top of that they didn't even have a cashier - all I bought I had to scan myself at a station
 where I also had to pay...but you'll get all the inside scoop about this little supermarket
adventure on Tokio Hotel TV soon! (Haha)

Shortly thereafter we finally arrived in Chicago where we had a day off! As usual we slept in
 really late but I also wanted to explore the city, which is why we got up particularly early - at 3pm.
Gustav had already gone out long before and Georg refused to get up so I had to bug Tom until
 he finally said he would join me to check out the city! Downtown Chicago was gorgeous - the sun
was shining and it had this summer flair that put everyone in a great mood! Chicago as a city
seems just perfect - it was a mix of these huge buildings like you see in NYC and the summer flair
you experience in L.A., which is basically a perfect mix! Tom and I grabbed a coffee and pretty much
 explored the city for the rest of the day - Tom was like a tourist the whole time since he took pictures
of everything. At the end of the day we visited a cool restaurant on the beach and enjoyed the sunset
 while having dinner...absolutely WICKED day!!!

That's it for now...
Take care,
Bill
