Quote from TH's producer on the new album:
"Already as a young boy Bill held an immense melancholy within himself. At the writing and recording sessions, his emotional extremes are his greatest asset. In the studio Bill's truth is always his last mood and his latest feeling," Jost wrote. "Sometimes Bill was entering the studio — dreaming wide awake — and then he pulled out those crumpled-up slips of paper with his song ideas on it, from various pockets and bags"

Bill is not a German name anyway, I think its just his stage name, nowhere this is mentioned. Perhaps his real name is WILHELM, German for WILLIAM and hence BILL... Besides their new album is called HUMANOID and will come out at the beginning of October. 1st single is called AUTOMATIC...
BILL with clearly seen satanic pentagram on his tshirt So the end is near, according to whats on his tshirt? Earth like a huge skull plus the royal fleur de lys Cattish things are used for female MK-ed slaves as usual, but here's an xception:

TH should have called their album Unheimlich, according to Freud's interpretation of the word ;D Automatons, robots, and doppelgangers are often described in this way. Also see Fyodor Dostoyevsky's short story The Double [a href=" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny"] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny[/a] "Freud specifically relates an aspect of the Uncanny derived from German etymology. By contrasting the German adjective unheimlich with its base word heimlich ("concealed, hidden, in secret"), he proposes that social taboo often yields an aura not only of pious reverence but even moreso of horror and even disgust, as the taboo state of an item gives rise to the commonplace assumption that that which is hidden from public eye (cf. the eye or sight metaphor) must be a dangerous threat and even an abomination - especially if the concealed item is obviously or presumingly sexual in nature. Basically, the Uncanny is what unconsciously reminds us of our own Id, our forbidden and thus repressed impulses perceived as a threatening force by our super-ego ridden with oedipal guilt as it fears symbolic castration by punishment for deviating from societal norms....
He also discusses the uncanny nature of Otto Rank's concept of the "double."...
Thus, the items and individuals that we project our own repressed impulses upon become a most uncanny threat to us, uncanny monsters and freaks akin to fairy-tale folk-devils, and subsequently often become scapegoats we blame for all sorts of perceived miseries, calamities, and maladies.
“ What interests us most in this long extract is to find that among its different shades of meaning the word heimlich exhibits one which is identical with its opposite, unheimlich. What is heimlich thus comes to be unheimlich. [...] In general we are reminded that the word heimlich is not unambiguous, but belongs to two sets of ideas, which, without being contradictory, are yet very different: on the one hand it means what is familiar and agreeable, and on the other, what is concealed and kept out of sight. Unheimlich is customarily used, we are told, as the contrary only of the first signification of heimlich, and not of the second. [...] On the other hand, we notice that Schelling says something which throws quite a new light on the concept of the Unheimlich, for which we were certainly not prepared. According to him, everything is unheimlich that ought to have remained secret and hidden but has come to light." |

Ahh the irony  Here, Bill Kaulitz is photographed by Karl Lagerfeld. earsucker.com/2009/09/08/bill-kaulitz-in-german-vogue/Bill says: " Karl has a super eye and I had the feeling that he already had the finished photo in his head beforehand.” It is interesting that Lagerfeld has been specifically linked to other young Hollywood MK slaves, sort of like a grandfather figure. He is currently taking Lily Allen in hand for Chanel,  and he also took a personal interest in Lindsay Lohan That turned out well for her...  Wonder what you have to do to get noticed and petted by the fashion elite  |

Herr Karl Lagerfeld(t) look like Evil Incarnate.... originally from Beatles-burg Hamburg, Germany too.
Lindsay Lohan is the daughter of prominent, 100s-Millionaires Wall Street chieftains, by the way; she is of Catholic Irish-American descent, and I suspect they are using doubles for her in public; maybe that's another thread.
Karl Lagerfeld (born Karl Otto Lagerfeldt; September 10, 1933[1]) is a German-born fashion designer and artist based in Paris, France. He has collaborated on a variety of fashion and art related projects, most notably as head designer and creative director for the fashion house Chanel. Lagerfeld helms his own label fashion house, as well as the Italian house Fendi, both of which produce luxury fashion items (including perfumes and accessories).

[edit]Biography
[edit]Early life
Karl Otto Lagerfeld was born in Hamburg, Germany. He has alleged he was born in 1938; however it has been reported that he was actually born in 1933 (according to the local christening register); indeed the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag has quoted his former teacher and classmates as confirming the earlier date,[2]. He is known to insist that no-one knows his real birth date: Interviewed on French television in February 2009, Lagerfeld said that he was "born neither in 1933 nor 1938."[3] His older sister, Martha Christiane (a.k.a. Christel), was born in 1931. Lagerfeld also has an older half-sister, Thea, from his father's first marriage. His original name was Lagerfeldt (with a "t"), but he later changed it to Lagerfeld as "it sounds more commercial."[4]
Karl's father is from Vladivostok, Russia; his mother is from Berlin, Germany (according to "Lagerfeld Confidential", Marconi Rodolphe, 2006). Though Lagerfeld has stated that his father was Swedish, journalist Alicia Drake in The Beautiful Fall (Little, Brown, 2006) established that Karl's father, Otto Lagerfeldt, who made his fortune introducing condensed milk to Germany, was indeed German. According to Drake, Lagerfeld's mother, Elisabeth Bahlmann, was a lingerie saleswoman in Berlin when she met her husband and married him in 1930.

Karl Lagerfeld emigrated to Paris in 1953. Initially he worked as a draftsman for fashion houses. At the time, in fashion, drafts were preferred over photographs. Lagerfeld is able to recap any costume style in European history drop-of-a-hat, e.g., explaining collar styles used in 1710 Germany, as he has demonstrated in a German television series in the 1980s.

 www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/lizhunt/6322901/Slimmed-down-Karl-Lagerfeld-has-got-some-neck.html "For a brief, shining moment, it seemed as if progress was being made in the interminable fat (normal) vs thin (anorexic) models debate. Lizzie Miller, who flaunted her flabby stomach in Glamour magazine in the US, is a heroine on both sides of the Atlantic. Designer Mark Fast used size 12/14 girls to display his spider's web knitwear and wowed London Fashion Week, while Germany's leading magazine, Brigitte, is banning size zero physiques Then up pops the mincing pantomime dame of couture to crush the hopes of the curvaceous. In an announcement that embodies perfectly the disdain the fashion industry has for real women, Karl Lagerfeld denounces critics of skinny models as "fat, chip-eating mummies" who are "jealous" of the stick-insects who stalk the cat walk. "Nobody wants to see a round woman," he says. I think many real men would demur (not that Karl would know). Incidentally, the head of Chanel was once rather round himself. A low-carb diet transformed him. Or did it? Perhaps his head was simply transplanted on to a slimmer body. There has to be some explanation for those extraordinary collars. "
