Beautiful! I love it acoustic!

Wow, that was gorgeous. Thanks for snagging the band and sharing this with us!

That was lovely. A bit awkward in some parts, but I love it. Thank you for featuring Tokio Hotel again!

BEAUTIFUL

that was beautiful

Love acustic version. I wish they would do unplugged of Humanoid on TV…

It’s amazing how playing the acoustic version of a song changes the mood and tone of the piece so drastically.

They’re not as awful as I thought they’d be. Now if only they made some real rock n roll instead of that glam pop thing they’re doing. Cause right now they basically sound like the Backstreet Boys, but with instruments.

Oh, and all the Tokio Hotel fangirls don’t need to attack my opinion, since it is just that, an OPINION.

This was incredible. I was pretty overwhelmed. First – what a nice surprise, I don’t think any of us were expected to hear an offstage acoustic version so soon. And they completely NAILED it. Bill’s voice was so sweet and softly beautiful on the high notes, Tom’s guitar playing was fantastic, they really have that rare and priceless quality of musicianship that allows a very few artists to take a highly-produced, effects-laden, slicked up electronic track with a million instruments and layers, and sit down with just a voice and a guitar and capture all the beauty and emotion. Thank you so much for this amazing video!

Wow, what a nice treat this video was. Thanks guys! I just love this accoustic version so much. It’s toned down, slower,more powerful, and with just the guitar and Bill’s singing, it becomes almost another song. I have to say I love it even more than the CD version. More of this kind of stuff from Tokio Hotel in Rolling Stone, please.

Ok, that video made me cry. And I never cry! Bill, your voice is impossible beautiful. This acustic version is so honest and heartbreaking. I love these guys from the bottom of my heart, and I will as long as they stay together.

what a beautiful performance. they’re so beyond talented.

That was so beautiful!

This version of Automatic is to sad and emotional. It really touched my heart like no other performance has done before. Bill: Your voice is just perfection. So is your face, expesially your lips. Tokio Hotel is my favouriteband of all times. How is it possible not to love them?

Simply amazing.

OMG, that was so beautiful!

This version is beautiful, but Bill is a belter–I still think he’s best when he’s owning the stage in front of thousands of people.

Now Rolling Stone? Where is the video of them stripping down that your promised us? *taps foot impatiently*

BEYOND PERFECT

This version of Automatic is so emotional that you really see the true meaning behind the song.

Another think I like are the close-ups of Tom’s hands while he’s playing the guitar. It’s always fascinating to see. ^^

Thanks RS!

so sweet!! this is the best acoustic version so far. mhhm.

This is sooo gorgeous!!!! Thanks RS! It’s way too amazing!!!

That was so beautiful! Bill was perfect!
LOVE IT!

WOW, that was amazing! Bill has such a beuatiful voice !

Loved it, totally made my Friday. <3

This is the kind of exclusive we like, RS. Moar plz?

Seeing Bill on an acoustic set is just so beautiful. It’s a side of them we rarely get to see.

Fantastic! I like it very much! Bill’s voice is heartfelt, Tom’s play touched me deeply. They are really GOOD!

Das ist so geil! The twins are amazing! Thanks Bill & Tom for that amazing performance. TH you’re rockin’ my world!

That was so beautiful. Bill is such a good singer and every word comes from the soul and is so heartfelt, even in English. Tom looked very passionate as well which is lovely to see.
I love Tokio Hotel so much, and this is precisely why.

Loves it!

Beautiful!!

I ♥ Tokio Hotel the song it’s beautiful reali good!!! XD

Soo perfect! an awsome acustic performance! they so rock! just love it!

wow, super amazing 0_0 !!
it kinda made me teary , it was so good!

That was gorgeous! Bill’s voice just makes me melt. Thanks, RS!

“Automatic” is one of those rare songs that sounds just as good acoustic as it does on the album (though, I have a soft-spot for the acoustic version). Hope to see more TH on RS soon!

Simply amazing! This version is so emotional and beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing.

:’)

This is.. words cant..i dont..wow. This is HEARTBREAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL.
Tom has mad skills and Bill sounds amazing. You can really feel the love in the room.

beautiful! (L)

that was legit.
seriously, though … I’m speechless.

That was as beautiful as the twins are. They are really passionate about what they do and it shows. As someone said earlier they are able to take an electronic highly produced song and change it to something completely different.

That was just gorgeous. These are really wonderful guys and they deserve such success in the U.S. Thank you for giving Tokio Hotel a chance to be heard by more people.

WUA STUVO WENO WI LOS AMOOOOOOOOO

thanks for posting this and realizing how amazing this band truly is! i hope to see more of them in rollingstone and the magazine itself!

I agree with Steinsgrrl. These are really wonderful guys and they deserve success in the U.S. I hope more people realize there a great band and don’t just judge them by their looks and assume they won’t like their music.

Rolling Stone, thank you so much! NEED MORE TOKIO HOTEL please? How about the cover.

He has an angel’s voice
Sooooooo beautiful

That was amazing and beautiful! I have goosebumps!

Thanks RollingStone! That was awesome! Tokio Hotel is awesome! Love seeing this side of their music!

Amazing!!! I love this!!! Thank you so much! WOW! It’s such a gorgeous song and hearing it without all the bells and whistles, or a bunch of screaming girls, is an absolute delight… just… amazing and beautiful. I love watching Tom play the song and listening to Bill sing it… very, very nice.

That was amazing! I just got back from meeting them in NYC and now I’m even more excited to hear them perform Humanoid LIVE.

Thank you Rolling Stones!!

This song was sung perfectly, awesome voice

Oh my God!!!! It made me giggle with joy!! I love ‘Automatic’ acoustic!!! They need to record that!

LEGIT!
this was beautiful..PLEASE post more of the boys from now on. This was pretty much the best!

Wow! Thank you so much Rolling Stone for posting this. I think these 2 young men are very talented. I’m looking forward to seeing more of them on you site as well as in your magazine! I’m a loyal subscriber and I’d love to see and read more about them. A cover wouldn’t be bad either!

Wow!!! Just plain unbelievable talent. Ad libing of melodies at the end was beautiful.

BEAUTIFUL EMOTINAL PERFERCTION!!! Bill voice is so warm it sends shivers down my spine i hope they do more performance like this! it’s deep!

that was amazingly beautiful. Bill’s voice and Tom’s guitar playing was perfect! thank you soo much!

Amazing!!! I´m speechless
Automatic on acustic version… just amazing!!! thanks RS!!! =^_^=

oh my gosh. that acoustic version was beautiful.

Absolutely amazing. Rolling Stone – I can’t believe you haven’t discovered this fantastic band before now. Please feature them in your magazine – they deserve it.

Yes, the acoustic version was very beautiful

Tokio Hotel is seriously the greatest band in the world. Thanks so much for posting this. It sounds beautiful!

This was absolutely beautiful. I loved it! I love hear about Tokio Hotel from you guys, you should cover them more often. Another great idea would be to “cover” them, as in put these boys on the cover! Come on if you can put the freaking Jonas Brothers on the cover(TWICE!) then why not Tokio Hotel? They totally deserve it, especially after Humanoid. ♥

what a beautiful song I love theway the play ad sig`’cause you otice that they do itfrom their heart and transmitted to you

Oh, that was beautiful! Thanks for featuring this. I love this acoustic version of the song.

I think tokio hotel on the cover should be in order<3
they are very talented

I love it!, but not as much as the german version where they played at the Cologne show. They deserve to be in the COVER!! Rolling Stone!!.

i absolutely adored this song from the first moment i heard it, and this version is almost better than the original.

and of course tom’s little note at the end. i think he wanted to have the last word.

We wish that everyone who judges Tokio Hotel negatively because of their appearance, youth and the fangirl frenzy that follows them would take a few minutes to listen to this and realize that we love them for the depth of their talent first and foremost. Thanks, Rolling Stone, for giving Bill and Tom the opportunity to do this acoustic version and for sharing it with us!!

Thank you for this video! I love the acoustic version of Automatic, and Bill and Tom performed this really well. I also loved the close-ups of Tom’s hands. I always like being able to watch him play.

This is wonderful. Thank you for this, Rolling Stone.

Beautiful. A tad shaky, maybe, but beautiful, nonetheless
Thank you for that.

bill’s voice here is so soft and calming. everything he sings, he puts his whole heart into. tokio hotel are the real deal.

That was incredible. So beautiful.

wow that was beautiful

nice! he sing really good

Simply beautiful tones from Bill~!!

That was really good. They should have recorded the acoustic version and put it in the album.

WOW… its so beautiful….. it was really incredible.. i think its relly super!! omgoshhh

Thanks sooo much “Rollingstone” ! This accoustic performance is soo perfect ! So beautiful ! You definitly see that Bill puts all his heart in this song. Thanks again !! I’ll just watch the video again !

awwwwwwwwww

think that just about sums it up?
although i think i should the journalistic route

x.

Wow, that was unexpected! You can really feel the connection between the twins. Thank you Rolling Stone!

I loved it ^^ Their acoustic versions are always so emotional.

Thank you so much for posting this!

so beautiful

love you

acoustic version is much better!

OOOOHHHHHHH MY GOD!!!! THAT WAS FANTASTIC! I LOVED IT!!!

That was breathtaking! I really like these guyes.

That was really really good!!!

bill’s voice is simply stunning & tom’s playing is perfection. i’ve never heard a better acoustic version of ANYTHING before – it’s just really that good.

thank you, rolling stone, for giving us fans something to watch over and over, again and again

I love this version of the song!

Slap–
Only because you warned the ‘fangirls’ not to ‘jump on your opinion’ and no one did, I’ll say something to you. First of all, I’m glad that you at least didn’t find the song awful—I guess it’s a start, right? And also, there’s nothing wrong with liking pop music. I wouldn’t go as far as to compare TH to the Backstreet Boys, but I respect TH for writing the music that they want in the style that they want, even though fans might feel betrayed that they’re now making ‘pop’ music, whereas before they made ‘rock’ music. I think you should forget about stereotypes and stop trying to compare TH to other artists and just listen to the music for the music. Pop music may be overrated, but some pop music is actually good. Like I said, no shame in liking a pop band. Personally, I don’t listen to Humanoid and hear pop music, nor rock music, nor punk nor electronica, just good, catchy music that is Tokio Hotel’s. They have their own sound, so it’s really useless trying to classify or compare them.

I hope you don’t think I’m attacking your opinion I just think Humanoid is an album anyone can enjoy and I think if you let go of your pre-judgements and expectations for a minute and just listen to the album, you might end up liking a song or two. If you really want to hear rock music, look up the title track, Humanoid, or Screamin’ [one of the bonuses]. TH incorporated so much more than ‘pop’ into their album, I guess is what I’m trying to say, so don’t knock it until you try it. Don’t judge an entire album by one song. In all honesty, I had my own doubts hearing Automatic, but then when I bought the album, I was blown away. It’s such an evolution from their old music and such a diverse yet unified mix of sounds and songs.

And oh, for the record, I know you didn’t imply this but I just felt the need to clarify: TH wasn’t casted like BB; in fact, they’ve been best friends for 10 years, and the twins, well, obviously have known each other their entire lives. They also write their own songs and lyrics and do their own thing. I have major respect for them, considering they’re all barely in their twenties.

So there, I hope that was the response you were looking for. I don’t want to shove Humanoid down your throat and I appreciate that you at least watched the video and stated your opinion on it. And if it’s not your music, it’s just not your music. However, I hope that you at least take a second look at the album.

That was flippin’ awesome, THANK YOU Rolling Stone. Bill sounds great!!! (:

Now how about Tokio Hotel on your cover with an in depth interview and photo shoot? There isn’t an American fan that wouldn’t buy at least one copy! Just sayin, sales & marketing dept., wink, wink.

Tokio hotel is amazinig, the acoustic mix is so cool- I would love to be a person like Tom

I can’t believe this.RS actually puts up a blog,especially in R&R Daily, that doesn’t kick these kids down.You guys havent been looking at the Euro Charts again have you? Maybe you saw some of the live vids of MTV Day in Athens a few weeks age.Those 16,000 Greek fans young and old singing every cut from Humanoid in english surprise you??Sorry Slap I’m not a fangirl although I do have 2 of them that are 13 yr old twins that I took last year to one of the US shows.You seem to have a good outlook ,admitting what you like and don’t regardless of what the general consensus may be.I’ve quoted a BBC writer on this blog before.The reason many people may not like them is because they are prettyboys(or “glam”)as Slap says or they make us older folks feel older.Yep- they are and maybe they do but in my opinion they are very good writers(Phantom Rider for instance),pretty darn good musicians,put on a very exciting show,and make you look forward to what they may very well do in the future.And in case yor wondering Iv”e seen them all,Stones ,Zep,U-2, right up through Coldplay and the Jonas-sluts.
Right now I really feel old though.I saw AC/DC last night.
Good Job Rolling Stone–finally!!

The TH is the biggest phenomenon since I don’t remember what, and RS still did not have it on its cover? Just be more adventurous, RS, and put something more deserving than JB on your cover. Or at least more photogenic

Really good! It was very simple but simplicity is good sometimes! I really enjoyed Automatic acoustic. Tokio Hotel is such a great band. Thanks Rolling Stone!

Tokio Hotel is my happy pill. If other people could get with the program the world would be a better place. Awesome acoustic version. Bill you are just BEAUTIFUL!

Did I say something wrong Rolling Stone to have my comments yanked? Or was I right when I said that they make you RS guys feel old.Suck it up.I’m 55.I did not cuss or anything.Just hit the nail on the head.You can’t stand it because the prettyboy boys are darn good and everybody commenting agrees(Even Slap to a certain extent)

Wow, it’s amazing!

That performance was Beautiful!!!
Bill’s voice was amazing!!!
Automatic in acoustic sounds Great!!!

TH rocks!

I like the acoustic version much more

It could be better, honestly. But it’s still great, I really like it more than the album version.

RS, put them on the cover!
They really deserve it. More than the JB.

I just think it’s so cute at the end when they just stare at each other with giant smiles. Like “did we play that right”. Or “good job” or something. Ha.

Thank you! Rolling Stone! They were great, I enjoyed this acoustic performance. Thanks a million.

That acoustic version is so pretty. <3

Awesome performance! Rolling Stone, they need to be on the cover! They are real musicians! Just look at this amazing acoustic performance! Bill hit all the right notes and tom plays his guitar with such a strong sound! Great performance overall! ps. vote for them for the best group at the ema voting site! BTW, they need to play acoustics more often! Thank you RS for posting this!

Yeah!! Einfach geil!
I like the acoustic version so much!! But I think it’s better in german…
TH is my favourite band forever.

Tokio Hotel is Amazing!!! They can play everything!!!

That was beautiful!
Thanks for the video!

Wow, that was beautiful! They are so amazing!

This song is lovely on acoustic but it’s much more powerful when played with all instruments just because Bill seems as if he wants to belt out the lyrics but must make them quiet and soft when only playing with the acoustic.
That being said, this has exceeded my expectations of this song on acoustic. It’s just so great in any direction you look at it.

Stunning! I am in love with the acoustic version.

JUST BEAUTIFUL! its better then the original, and its actually bills voice without all the autotune and stuff. great!

OMFG!!!!
love the video =]
i went to LA to see them this oct. 22
Bye
TH forever

omg!!
taht was amazing!!!!!!:D
Bill has such a beautiful voice!!

that was sooo Beautifulll!!!
Tom and Bill loook freakinn hott
by the way!!:)

i love TH <3

could put the tab of the music in acustico??

^^

I love it,It was Amazing,Thanks Rolling Stone!

I’m a 40+ yr old fan. These guys are amazingly talented and refreshing because they were NOT groomed like other acts. I wish them all the success in adding the U.S. to the list of their accomplishments. Acoustic Automatic is fantastic.

In the original version, he sounds as if he is angry at the girl for being “automatic” and yet here, you can see that he is hurt by it. Such different interpretations by one truly amazing band. Brilliant performance

I honestly think I like the this verson better than the one on the album. The emotion behind the words is so clear and painful… such a beautiful song. Thank you for such a treat!

Although I prefer German to English, this version of the song brought me to tears. Bill’s vocal’s have improved so much, and I’m so proud of him. This is just incredible, I can’t wait to see them again!

I like the aucostic version very much

That was so beautiful! :’)

Thank you Rolling Stone for getting them to play the song acoustic. I’ve been a TH fan for years, and I’m not very fond of their new sound. If I could just hear all their new songs without any electronics, I’d fall in love with them all over again. <3

Wow. Thanks for the great coverage, Rolling Stone. Just took my love for the band to another level.

Thank you so much for this performance! It’s a treat to see such a lovely rendition of this song. I hope to see more of Tokio Hotel in Rolling Stone.

I love it! It is incredible and amazing and beautiful! Tokio Hotel fur immer!

Absolutely amazing!!! Bill sounds beautiful as always and the song is awesome!!! Love them!!!

OMG I love it!

bill’s voice is truly amazing.

The performance wasn’t bad…. I’m actually surprised… I wasn’t really a tokio hotel fan before… but they seem to have matured…Judging by this performance alone, i would say they are better musicians then some other ones out there in the music business right now

Thank you for letting us hear the acoustic version of Automatic. It is, simply put, a beautiful piece of music. I like this much better than their attempt to make this song “radio friendly” in the US.

You can understand this band or not but no one can deny that millions of fans everywhere on this planet have been deeply touched by their music. That says more than any of us could ever put into words.

BTW, I will (God willing) turn 50 in less than 3 weeks. Like bluewaterboy I’ve been there and done that. Twice. I’ve seen Tokio Hotel live more than once. They can hang with the best of them. The Kauli were born to be on stage and the crowd–young and old–can feel the magic. On the Humanoid album they ignore genre lines like Bill Kaulitz ignores gender lines. I tip my hat to free thinkers and hope that America can somehow accept a band that is led by two of them.

Thank you for featuring Tokio Hotel. This was a treat even for those of us out of the hormone driven stage.

pure love. that’s all i have to say.

gosh.. i loved this acoustic version soo muchh
it was soo lovely..
the twins were just beautiful!!!:)

I definitely love this acoustic version. It felt as though it was a different song from the bitter-angery version of the Automatic single to the vulnerable, heartfelt, heart aching disappointment of love version. Bill writes and sing songs with such honesty and power that makes a great impact on me because I can relate to it. I respect Tokio Hotel so much and hope they get more recognition for their talent and hard work. Thank-you Rollingstone!

Well said Jerry,bluewaterboy,and everyone else,even Slap!!
I happenened to see the real MTV Day 2009 videos of them live in Greece two weeks ago.They were on an international website called “Tokio Hotel Network”(not TH TV) I was astonished and mesmerized to say the very least.These kids are way way good. Take a look at it.It is great to see the comments everyone makes after they see them play live.Remember ,the only reason all those fangirls are up front is that they can run faster to the stage when they open the doors.

wow, i like your new song “automatic”… you are so great! Keep it up!

OMG I Loooooooooooove It!! They Should Do More Acoustic!! It Was Amazing!!!!

Simply beautiful.

that waz simply beautiful!
the rock version of automatic doesnt make me cry but hearing bill and tom play it acoustic and hearing bill saying wat the song means just brought tears to my eyes. (:

hey im very impressed, very very impressed. Good job tokio hotel

i love tokio hotel

That was so cute…
Bills voice was/is so beautiful…

I Love it

Thank you so much Rolling Stones this was amazing. And yes you are right they dont do a lot of acoustic. Bills voice wow, took my breath away thank you!

@rockinthosejeans: The live Humanoid concert in Creece was played without all the electronic effects. Try to find it on Youtube. You will fall in love with TH again, and even more, if possible

That was really cool!! Thanks and please post more from Tokio Hotel!!

M A G N I F I Q U E *_* !
