OHHHH Joss Stone and Joko Winterscheidt! Totally blowin' up Tokio Hotel's SPOT with the pyrotechnics and stuff! Maybe the fire in their "World Behind My Wall" performance was supposed to be a S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E, mkay? Anyway, enjoy this video of Tokio Hotel on the red carpet at the 2009 MTV Europe Awards in Berlin. Plus, enjoy the fun potent Tokio quotables such as:

+ Bill Kaulitz saying, "We just know some words from our school time." (Tee!)

+ Tom Kaulitz, who says that Tokio has been doing "a lot of dirty interesting and you know, nasty things."

+ "We are old-school." -- Bill Kaulitz... Granted, five seconds later, Tokio Hotel joined Twitter, so you never can tell!

This week we found out how the Tokio twins dealt with school sucking and what Bill Kaulitz smells like. But I still had unanswered questions! I wanted to arrive at the intersection of Tokio Hotel and philosophy. And I was curious as to whether Tokio Hotel lived by any official motto or creed, like "Be awesome" or "Stay gold, Billy boy." So I asked them.

Turns out, no. Tokio Hotel makes the rules up as they go along, and the only rules are there are no rules. Well, that's basically what they said. More accurately, Bill and Tom Kaulitz, who are really good at giving advice, don't like getting advice. But what they do like is a little break. And a little nap near the ocean.
