Tokio Hotel’s frontman Bill Kaulitz sat down with Starpulse.com to dish on their new album Humanoid. The crazy Germans also shared some styling secrets (Bill says to use a full bottle of hairspray every day!) and talked about what music they are listening to at the moment. Read some highlights below and check out the rest of the interview here.
Bill, I like the look you have going on. Do you think Adam Lambert is trying to copy you?
BK: I don’t know, I’m not sure. I haven’t seen older pictures of him. [Haha]
Do you know who he is?
BK: Yeah, I know who he is. People have told me about that. We have that same show ["American Idol"] in Germany. I don’t know how he looked before, so I don’t know if he stole my look. Maybe he’s just wearing makeup all the time like me. I started to wear makeup when I was – I think – 12 years old, so I don’t know what his background is.
Do you have an inspiration behind the look?
BK: I really love vampires, so it started with a Halloween party and I went to it as a vampire. After that, I started wearing makeup and polish my nails and everything.
My girlfriend is always telling me I need to use more hair product. Do you have any advice?
BK: [Haha] I just use one bottle of hairspray every day.
Wow. A full bottle?
BK: Yes, every day is a different kind. So I don’t have like [a] company or anything [to recommend].
Do you guys have a few bands that you really loved when you were growing up, someone who has inspired your music?
BK: I think everyone listened to different music, and it’s really hard for us to pick one band. For me, I’ve never had like one role model or something, but I listened to David Bowie and the Stereophonics. And at the moment, I really like Kings of Leon. They’re really different and I really like their music.
