The band: Gustav Schäfer, Bill Kaulitz, Tom Kaulitz and Georg Listing.
- Humanoid is Tokio Hotel’s second English album, following 2007’s Scream. The title was inspired by the Kaulitz brothers’ newfound passion for science fiction.
- The video for the first single, Automatic, was shot in South Africa. “It took three days in the desert and was quite an adventure,” Bill says. “It was in the middle of nowhere - no cellphone reception, no internet, not even paved roads. But this was exactly how I visualised the song.”
- Bill says his crazy style comes from watching vampire movies as a kid and that he loves the film Twilight. “Everyone was talking about it and I didn’t even know about it but everyone was like, ‘You have to see it’’. So I did and loved it!”
- “We have the same friends, same interests and we’re together 24 hours a day. We’re like one person, like soulmates,” Bill says of working with his twin, Tom.
