Tokio Hotel: a tribute to legends of rock?
by Annalisa Esposito
TOKIO HOTEL - It was 1989 when "Personal Jesus" by Depeche Mode ruled the world and charts with its catchy rhythm and provocative lyrics.
Twenty years later, it almost seems to feel the aftermath of that era by listening "Human connect to human" of Tokio Hotel, the German band who knew well how conquer markets and the most demanding public, but did not disclose to anyone the secret of this success.
Have they decided to pay homage to some of their legendary predecessors, while they were searching for a new sound for the album "Humanoid"?
It is probably just a coincidence, and another demonstration of how the interplay between words, melody and feelings has no memory, that you look for a human contact or you want to be a "Jesus" to someone.
The tracklist of time goes on.
We are in Milan, in 2010, when during the live performance of "Hey You", the fans clapped their hands simultaneously to the rhythm that has made smiled some parents on the sit places, recalling Freddie Mercury when he was making crazy th crowd at Wembley Stadium: it happened in 1986.
The choir then rose with a "We Will Rock You," repeated more than twenty years after in Mediolanum Forum by some fans carried in a particular charm with a music that wants to rebel against all space and time barriers.
Winners were Queen yesterday by conquiring a stage in the story of Rock, and winners are Tokio Hotel now to get it back to life.
