Tokio Hotel Fever [Paperback]

Beatrice Nouveau (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 2010

Tokio Hotel—twin brothers, vocalist Bill and guitarist Tom Kaulitz; drummer Gustav Schäfer; and bassist Georg Listing—were already multiplatinum-selling superstars in their native Germany when they decided to take the rest of the world by storm, and this tribute is the ultimate guide to the band. Featuring stunning photos of the band—in performance, off stage, and as children—this biography details their early days, their musical and style influences, and their love for their devoted legions of fans. Tokio Hotel translated their two albums from German to English and found North Americans just as receptive to their alt-rock music, moving lyrics, and distinct visual style. This led to a nomination for the MTV Video Music Award for best pop video and a win for best new artist in 2008. From facts and style information on each of the band members to a discography and videography of their work, this guide to all things Tokio Hotel is essential for any die-hard fan and a great introduction for those new to their music.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must-have" for any TH fan, May 13, 2010

This review is from: Tokio Hotel Fever (Paperback)

While there are virtually no photos in this book that a true, die-hard Tokio Hotel fan does not already have plastered to their bedroom wall, there is something to be said for having them all in one place, in a nice, handy, portable book you can flip through and enjoy any time the need arises! As the book was previously published in France, this is NOT a new book and there has been a lot of time passed since the book was first written and today. So again, if you own any of the "TH Caught on Video" or THTV, there are no startling 'revelations' in this book. But, it is nicely done, easy to skim through and, can you ever really have too many photos of Bill, Tom, Georg and Gustav? If you're a fan - get it.

I have known about Tokio hotel for a number of years. Never have I read a better book in my life.

Any fan needs this item, without it, you have an incomplete set of merchandise.

The many pages of this book talks about their road to success... From Devilish to Humanoid and also focuses on their individual profiles.

The images are stunning and the quality of the pages are great!

A must have for any fan!

I have to say being as young as these guys were when they started this band... I think they are the bestest band out their... I totally love listening to their music... I also bought the Humanoid City Live cd/dvd... This book was great lots of things to still learn about this band... If you haven't heard their music now is a great time to do that...
