Bill KaulitzMusic's Ickiest of the Icky, Circa 2008
Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)
Creepy is a hard thing to pin down, but you know it when you see it
because life is full of creepy people. The guy at the end of the bar
with the moustache that licks his soup strainer when your girlfriend
walks by. The chicks that claim to love SportsCenter. The Clear Lake
bar scene.
All these folks have one thing in common: They all know how to
seemingly creep us out of our Converse. The music industry is no
different, likewise full of perverts, art-school dropouts and swarthy
types. During this Halloween season, let's reflect on some of our
favorite batshit loon-balls.
Bill Kaulitz, Tokio Hotel: You
probably don't know who this guy is unless you stalk underage emo kids
online or follow German pop-metal. Kaulitz is the lead singer of the
popular Teutonic act Tokio Hotel, who sound like an even whinier HIM
wielding a flatiron. This guy looks and sounds like a 14-year-old girl.
I'm down with androgyny, believe me. Who doesn't like surprises? But
only from the land that elevated David Hasselhoff to Beatle status
would we get this. As Norm MacDonald was so fond of reminding us,
Germans love David Hasselhoff.
