Exclusive Video: Tokio Hotel ‘TRL’ Performance

For the three losers out there who DON’T keep up with German mod-goth rock, Tokio Hotel made their first-ever performance on U.S. television yesterday. Lucky for us, that performance was on TRL (where they were met with more hysteria than Elvis and John Lennon, had they both risen from the dead and played a spontaneous acoustic set with Jesus.) Lucky for you, we have Tokio Hotel’s full-length performance of “Ready, Set, Go” on demand.

Watch, freak, repeat.

UPDATE: Watch exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of Tokio Hotel at TRL.

  16. I'm glad everything went well after the surgery. I know it's not their first performance after that, but still. They better be careful until Bill fully recovers. Very nice. It’s great to have them on US television.
  17. OMG! When i saw that on TV i started flipping out! It's so unreal to actually see them on American Television. IT was just so amazing! I want to meet them, they look really cool. But omg this was so awesome! This ment so much, Thank You MTV!

    i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again. The boys don’t fit into ANY box/category. They are Completely Unique!!!!
    anywho...Thanks SOOO much for getting TH. I completely freaked when they came on TV TRL is awesome even if you are stuck on trying to categorize them. ;P

    May the Hysteria of Tokio Hotel Forever!!!!
  21. 36 days out of surgery on your vocal cords and you can rock a crowd like that, Bill I am in awe of you!

    Tokio Hotel is such an awesome band.

    Thank you so much MTV.
  22. They did so good on TRL yesterday! And there english was pretty good too :)
  23. For only a month of rehab for his vocal chords he's actually pretty good. He still has a lot to improve with the rehab he better keep it up and not stress his voice too much. Obviously it wasn't a very good performance vocal wise but he just got out of surgery you got to give the guy some props for even doing that. Good job Bill you got major balls woo~! Brave boy I swear.

    Still kinda pissed I cant go to either the signing or concert in Hollywood when I live 2 hours away. A monday and a tuesday...smaaaart lmao!

    Anywho good job Tokio Hotel and hope Bills voice gets better quick!
  24. i am so impressed with Bill he has come so far and i'm glad he is better now maybe he needed to take a couple more days of because he didn't sound right on the high notes, but all and all they were amazing!

  41. "where they were met with more hysteria than Elvis and John Lennon, had they both risen from the dead and played a spontaneous acoustic set with Jesus."

    MTV, will you marry me? I have the rings all picked out and have almost decided on a dress. You name the date and place, and I'll be there with bells on.

    Seriously, though. I've said it before and I've said it again, the support that Tokio Hotel are getting from MTV (both on-air and online, here and in the News blog) is amazing, and gratifying. MTV has a huge influence and knowing that we have your love and assistance to help make Tokio Hotel huge in the US (because they so deserve it) is a wonderful thing. I can't tell you how thankful I am, though obviously I am trying.

    I really loved the band's appearance and performance on TRL. For one, it was just crazyawesome to finally be able to watch them, live, on my own TV. It was also really great to see the band interacting in English ("We don't speak English," bah), and their performance was great, as well! Even though Bill's voice is still recovering, they still managed to do a great job, and the energy from the band and the fans was really neat to watch.

    Anyway, I am totally loving the exclusive videos that you are sharing with us, as well as the posts. You kids have a great sense of humour and it's quite grand to read. Thank you so much, and I can't wait to see what's coming next!

    xoxo,
    Charlotte
