I think that he is going to cry... now serious... I think that music is also entertainment and show.. maybe they have more show than music but each person has different tastes and it's cool to have variety. Don't you think? I can say that their music sounds with excelent quality (talking technically about the sound), the instruments are very well played and there isn't any note out of scale or pitch. I don't think that this is harmful for kids. Talking about Music + Show... for me Jane's Addiction was a cool combination of both... and Gun's & Roses too.

I'm definetly not into it, but it sounds like standard rock to me (ok, I've heard one song with them, once, but still) and it's not that horribly bad that I feel the urge to commit suicide or anything, it's just kind of simple standard rock that doesn't have anything special (imo) but they are definrtly not bad enough to get people to "hate" them. It's standard rock music, nothing more, nothing less imo. Nothing to get upset about, except the image they have wich is horrible.

But I know Tokio Hotel and I don't like it But I do give those boys some credit anyway.. Just holding a band together as teenagers must be an achievement.. I think maybe that some of those boys could be able to make some good music later in their career. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Why do guys who look like chicks get all the girls, first Poison now these clowns!? It's these kind of poppy bands that really make me appreciate bands like Mastodon, Opeth, and BTBAM, just the fact that Tokio Hotel and Mastodon can both exist in a world that isn't in complete chaos amazes me!

First thoughts at the picture were, a band with an emo/scene kid, gangster, skateboarder, and a redneck. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Still admire you for killing the TV These bands (the pre-packaged ones) can be or be not, they are just nothing to me. Uninteresting. A void. I can't say if they are good or bad because I don't care. I don't listen to them. I'm not interested in forming an opinion even. I do have a weird fetisch for the old school glam bands like Sweet. And Poison even. They are so cute in their effort to be bad guys and still they look so innocent. They give the impression that they don't take it too serious themselves and I like that.

It's just not healthy. I bet it produces a HUGE amount of ego and selfishness in them, even before they have to pay taxes. And their clothes and two tins of wax in their hair don't help either...

It took me more time to discover if the singer was a man or a girl... This remembers me to the first album of Poison. I can say that Tokyo Hotel has some nice voice melodies in their songs and hits. I don't know the other band but I read that they are the main competitor of Tokyo Hotel. The first Poison album ROCKS btw!
