You know what, I’m in my 30′s and I remember seeing the Ready, Set, Go video a few months ago and it caught my attention. It’s not that the lyrics are so great or the sound or any one thing, but it’s the whole package (the video is well produced) put together…it’s like emo rock punk light and I just liked it. Then I realized that it’s the lead singer…he’s got that androgenous pretty thing going on…chicks are diggin it. He’s not too scary, either, so it’s like the sad, lonely dark boy, but accessible (and really young, so the teenagers like him). That’s my two cents. I did get the album on the merits of that one track and it’s sort of hit or miss, but it has an appealing sound and some decent lyrics when you consider they were written by a 15 or 16 year old.

Don't think the hordes of fangirls will be commenting afterall. The continued snarky comments about Tokio Hotel are enough to wear down anyone's spirit after awhile i'm afraid, especially as it seems like you are three Jonas Bros posts away from havng a fangirl squeal about them (yes i've noticed the increasingly subtle compliments).

Oh and clearly the reason i'm bothering to comment is because I've recently become a bit obsessive about Tokio Hotel too and I quite like Monsoon. Yes I said it! Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery i'm told.

Oh, and The Jonas Brothers? Are you people for real? “Hi, we’re Hanso…I mean…uhhh…The Jonas Brothers. Nice to play shite music for you today.”

Sometimes Bill Kaulitz' vocal quality just make me want to listen to the Smashing Pumpkins. "Ready, Set, Go" is catchy enough by me. But they seem nice enough...and their limited German-tinged, English in which everything is "so so craysee" is quite sweet. But I am not really interested in their music.

I can not wait for the VMAs. Of course they are baloney award-wise, but I really hope they get Tokio Hotel to duet with those Jonases. I have to admit the only reason I ever sampled TH is because the JB told me to.

OK, I am kind of obsessed with the bizarre monstrosity known as Tokio Hotel. I want to read a profile on their fans. Who the hell is into this stuff?!

Although I can't front--that Anime-looking singer kid probably gets more action that all of the Jonas Bros combined.

Team Tokio, y'all!

@DocStrange: My local Modern Rock station played a Tokio Hotel song once, and the DJ spent the remaining hour apologizing to angry callers.

Is there a recording of this anywhere!

@DocStrange: Yes, worse than Jet. I can't I typed those words: There's a band worse than fricking Jet.

This almost makes me want to hear a Tokio Hotel song. Not quite, but almost.

/These posts always trick me into thinking its going to be about Tokyo Police Club. I'm always let down, but then I laugh at whatever picture is posted, and feel a bit better.

I heard Tokio Hotel two months ago and I decided then and there that are hands down the single worst rock band of all time. Yes, worse than Jet. I can't I typed those words: There's a band worse than fricking Jet.

PS: Wait, TRL...playing..."Paper Planes"...wtf?
I saw the MTV version on MTVu, in which it bleeps out words like "records", "weed" and "KGB" and replaces the popping sounds.

@Al Shipley: Very non-threatening modern rock. They're not afraid to step on the distortion pedal (which puts them above the JB in my book) but the lyrics are pretty standard/trite. That could be because English isn't their native tongue but I just don't see this taking off in the US. There are way too many guyliner bands demanding attention from the 13-16 female audience and big dumb hair no longer makes you stand out.

1) MORNINGWOOD???!!?! Barf.
2) The gunshots over the chorus are the best part of “Paper Planes”! It reminds me of playing “Duck Hunt.” Feh.

I ended up watching a few minutes of this the other day, and I still haven’t heard a note of Tokio Hotel’s music. I think I was transfixed by their outfits, the crazy glam goth, the guy with the XXXXXXL shirt and dreadlocks, and the two dirtbag-looking metal dudes. My wife asked “is this something like each member of the band represents a different genre of music?”
