Tokio Hotel

TOKIO HOTEL一直在努力挖掘自己的深層潛力。短時間內，這支樂隊對歌詞創作的不懈努力和對新興元素的積極運用終于使他們達到了既定目標——德國本土內一直渴求的，呈現TOKIO HOTEL式“清晰”的新聲音終于誕生。睿智，動人的歌詞，活力的現代之聲和超凡魅力，修改了音樂最高水準的定義。他們的作品是這些日子來最讓人激動的德語歌曲，向公眾推出TOKIO HOTEL的時機已經成熟。 盡管樂隊成員都是15-18間的少年，但音樂儼然是TOKIO HOTEL團員稚嫩年齡中的很大組成部分。15歲的主唱和詞曲作者Bill從9歲就開始創作。擔任吉他手的則是和Bill一樣從繼父處學會吉他，并從6歲就開始演奏的他的雙胞胎弟弟Tom。雙胞胎共同發現了自身對音樂的愛好并在創作道路上攜手并進。 Emo quartet Tokio Hotel emerged as one of the most successful new German acts of their generation, scoring three number one singles via 2005's debut LP, Schrei. Bill and Tom Kaulitz, 12-year-old twins, formed the group in their native Magdeburg in 2001, recruiting drummer Gustav Schäfer and bassist Georg Listing to round out the lineup. Originally dubbed Devilish, the teen foursome toured aggressively before signing to Universal in 2003, adopting the moniker Tokio Hotel in tandem with the deal. Composed primarily by Bill Kaulitz in tandem with a series of high-profile songwriters, Schrei was preceded by the August 2005 release of Tokio Hotel's debut single, "Durch den Monsun." Teenage girls quickly embraced the band with puppy-love fervor, and by the end of the month the single topped the German pop chart and its Austrian counterpart. The follow-ups "Rette Mich" and "Der Letzte Tag" also hit number one, although the former appeared in a re-recorded version dramatically different from its LP version thanks to Kaulitz's post-pubescent vocal changes. After the singer wrapped his contributions to filmmaker Luc Besson's animated fantasy Arthur and the Minimoys, Tokio Hotel returned to the studio to complete work on their 2007 follow-up album, Zimmer 483. In June 2007, Scream, the band's first English language album, was released in Europe. The album's tracks were comprised of songs from Schrei and Zimmer 483 that had been translated and re-recorded. Scream was released in the United States on April 29, 2008. 更多>>
