Saving Tokio Hotel


We're not english and we can make mistakes but we tried to do the translation the best we can.

We have been observing since some time ago how Tokio hotel it’s being exploted by Universal, their label. They have been being sold up like a comercial pop band for teenagers, while they could be launched to the rock scene like bands like Green Day, Simple Plan or My Chemical Romance.

Among all the magazines which write articles about Tokio Hotel, only two or three are about rock music, as many of the magazines are made for histerical teenagers who are interested only in their look and in selling more magazines. On the other hand, rock magazines only talk about them to critizice their “comercial pop” music, they use the fact that they are sold to the teenage public as a handicap.

They dont stop working, they have three CD and two DVD out of which they have sold million of copies in all Europe, of which they have all the author rights because they make all their music. They say that they don't earn so much Money. Doesn’t it sound strange? In addiction to, the tours long for months, which many of their shows are sold out.

The boys always say they like bands like Aerosmith, Green Day, Metallica, Foo Fighters, etc. But these influences are only a couple of songs of each CD. How influence have their productors in this?

How many bands have grown up in tours like Warped Tour or Project Revolution tour? Actually, the majority of big and respected bands have been touring in one of them. Wouldn’t you like to see them in one of this shows?

Bearing in mind all this, How can Tokio Hotel long? We are not experts but we think this cant carry on for a long time, although their great music and talent. They need to be considered like more than a ‘storm’. If we don't make something quickly, their career could finish in a couple of years or less.

We’ll try to translate it to other languages soon, to make it sound

Please, write comments saying what you think about it.
