How did you find out about TH?

[alix.]

One of my friends had a picture of Tom on their profile and they told me he was the guitarist from a German band. Haha...yeah not a great story.

How about you?

I'm a member of this other forum, called LiveWire (teen forum), and there was a topic where you posted what song by what artist you happened to be listening to at th moment. Well this member, pan, seemed to listen to Tokio Hotel nonstop. She also had a picture of Bill as her avatar, and a lot of pictures of TH in her image basket. Out of curiosity (and boredom) I decided to look up this band. First song I listened to was Derch den Monsun. And I was hooked ever since..

As a side note, I thought Bill was a girl for the first week I knew TH. Heh.

I found out about them on Gaia..someone had a moving clip of Bill in their signature. He made a funny move and grinned. It said something about TH in the signature to, so I asked them who they were and thats how I found out about them.

Well... I was doing my daily, random searches on youtube when I found the AFI Remix of Ready, Set, Go. Someone had said that it was sung by Blaqk Audio and so... me being my gullible self, believed them for about a week. Then was I like 'Wait a minute... this doesn't sound like his voice...' so I went back to where I found it and someone in the comments said it was Tokio Hotel so I looked them up and fell in love.
It's not a very interesting story but... it's mine none the less. =)

Short version: I was in Italy and saw them on MTV Italia.

Long version: I glimpsed "Monsoon" with, I think, the sound off on my TV, and I just casually thought Bill was a girl. A very skinny (and refreshingly unconventional) but pretty girl; whatever, there are tons of those on MTV. Then I heard the song and really liked it, still figured it was a girl (his voice is quite soft on that song, you know, and if you've already made the assumption...), and I heard and saw "Ready, Set, Go!" and really liked it, too; but I didn't start reassessing my judgment of his gender just yet (because I'm not used to second-guessing people's gender And my TV screen was small and sound quality poor and I didn't pay a ton of attention to that, anyway).

And it was the month before the Europe Music Awards, so during commercial breaks they were playing these little two-minute features on the nominees, and I watched Tokio Hotel's, and I was surprised to find out that they were German (I couldn't tell) and my age (wow!), and then I was pretty flabbergasted to find out that they were actually all guys. But that really got my attention, there. Pretty soon--meaning, immediately--every time they came on the TV I dropped whatever I was doing, turned up the volume, sat 18 inches from the screen, stared at Bill, and (almost) chanted a mantra of "Oh, wow. That's a guy. Oh, wow. That's a guy!" After I'd gotten that down, I started to really like him. A LOT. And at the same time I had started looking them up online and finding out more and more about them, and listening to and watching them on YouTube, and I loved what I found out, heard and saw.

It's amazing how fast I progressed from "Oh, that's a nice song" to "OH, MY GOD, WHOAAAHOHOHOHO! THIS IS GREAT!!! I LOVE THEM!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D" Especially since I hadn't been a fan of anyone or anything for, like, four years.

I'm really glad that I discovered Tokio Hotel. I'm grateful for whatever turns of fate led me to them.

Mmmmmokay, so, that's my story.

my friend let me listen to their song through the monsoon and she told me that they were german .. i was really amazed how bill sang it because i thought they would have some kind of accent if they sing english songs,so i looked them up .. my friend also showed me a picture of bill and tom and she told they were identical twins, and i was like WHAT?!! they can't be!! so i did more research about them and fell in love <3

I kept seeing pictures of Bill and Tom on deviantart. I asked who they were finally. Looked for their music on youtube, and became hooked.. ((Shortened version.))
