Der er ingen tvivl om det: Tokio Hotel er et af de største bands I år og det har de deres fan at takke for. Det er derfor drengene bliver ved med at tale om det i dette eksklusive interview.
I drenge fyrede et fantastisk show af her i Malaysia tilbage i maj 2010. Hvad savner I mest ved Malaysia?
Bill: Da vi først kom her, var vi overraskede over at alle var så venlige og vi fik en varm velkomst, så vi savner menneskerne og vejret selvfølgelig! Men på scenen blev det lidt for varmt og vi er ikke vant til det; Vi var på Europa tourné og det var koldt overalt. Men det var fedt og vi glæder os til showet.
Hvad kan fansene forvente til jeres optræden til MTV World Stage?
B: Den her gang bliver det store: Produktionsmæssigt og med specialeffekter ligesom elektrisk lys. Det bliver virkelig virkelig cool. Vi tænkte på at spille nøgne[griner]. Jeg ville gerne tage mine kostumer med fra den europæiske tourné men jeg tror det vil blive for varmt. Måske noget mere almindeligt den her gang.
Det er to månedernsiden vi sidst så jer i maj. Hvad har I lavet siden?
B: Vi var i studiet hvor vi lavede noget promotion for tournéen i Europa. Vi har lige lanceret vores nye DVD ”Humanoid City Live” som vi filmede i Milano. Det er en fantastisk live DVD og vi havde det rigtig sjovt da vi filmede den. Vi har også indspillet et live album og en ny video ”Darkside of the sun”.
I skal optræde til MTV World Stage med folk som Katy Perry og Wonder Girls. Hvem er I mest spændte på at møde?
B: Jeg er mest spændt på at møde fansene og publikum. Jeg har aldrig hørt om Wonder Girls; De er et helt nyt band for os. Men fansene er utrolige og vi glæder os til vores eget show og koncert.
Tom: Vi glæder os alle til vores egen optræden og jeg er en stor fan af Tokio Hotel, så jeg kan ikke vente med at se dem live! Og de har sådan en smuk guitarist! [Griner]
Tilbage I 2008, dedikerede Katy Perry hendes kontroversielle sang “Ur so gay” til jer for at havde slået hende i “Best new artiste” awarden. Er i smigrede?
B: Jeg har seriøst ondt af hende at vi vandt! Må det bedste band vinde [griner]. Og alle ved at vi har de bedste fans i verden!
Fortæl os mere om jeres fans.
B: De er loyale og de er der altid for os. Det føles som en stor familie på vejen; Vi har nogle fans som altid er med til vores shows i Europa. Vi har Tokio Hotel TV og internettet så vi altid kan holde kontakten til dem.
Vi kan se at Bill og Tom bliver 21 i år. Kunne I tænke jer nogle gaver fra jeres fans?
B: Altså, jeg kan lide diamanter og en Ferrari! Jeg kan godt lide når fans skriver sange til os og sender video beskeder til os. Georg vil købe en Ferrari og en diamantring til os!
T: Vi har en regel i bandet: Ingen gaver til nogen fordi det vil blive alt for dyrt! Vi har kendt hinanden i 10 år og i stedet for at købe fede gaver til fire fantastiske fyre, tænkte vi at det ikke var noget vi ville stresse over! Vi giver hinanden nogle fede tider sammen. Og vi fester! Georg holdt en fest da han var på tourné og det var rigtig sødt. Vores chauffør arrangerede en fest i tourbussen! Så jeg gav ham et virkelig varmt kram.
Georg: Det er hvad vi ønsker os hvert år.
Vi vil kramme jer for jeres success med ‘Humanoid’.
B: Vi er så stolte af den cd fordi det er altid hårdt at indspille et tredje album som et band. Men det endte ud med at blive præcis som vi ville, især den europæiske tourné, Malaysia og Asien, og nu er vi bedre end nogensinde før.
Hvad skal der ske med Tokio Hotel efter MTV World Stage 2010?
B: Øhm, vi tager en lille tur til Syd Amerika og efter det tager vi tilbage til Europa for at lave noget promotion efterfuldt af noget tid I studiet hvor vi vil skrive nye sange. Forhåbentligt vil vi få lidt ferie og nogle fridage. Det har været et langt år for os!
Hvor vil I gerne hen på ferie?
B: Vi kan lide små øer. Vi tager altid til Maldivierne, som er så smuk! Vi har været der, jeg ved ikke [pause] det er det smukkeste sted i verden. Jeg kan lide at tage til stille steder hvor der er en stand, havet og intet andet.
Siden bandets navn er Tokio Hotel, har I så haft nogle mærkelige hotel oplevelser?
B: Ja, vi har været på mange hoteller på vores ture, og vi har et par favoritter som det I Singapore faktisk. Og vi havde en dårlig oplevelse med et hotel I Syd Afrika hvor vi indspillede en video, det blev kaldet et hotel, men det var ikke et rigtigt hotel. Det var som en lille lejr der mindede om en campingplads. Det var så fucking koldt på værelset og der var ikke nogen radiator! Intet at spise, intet internet og heller ikke noget vand! Det var noget af en oplevelse for os.
Hvad lytter I til på jeres Ipod?
B: Det er en blanding af Aerosmith og pop ting; Jeg har ikke noget bestemt band jeg hører hele tiden, men det meste af tiden lytter jeg til et band kaldet Tokio Hotel.
Georg: Jeg kan virkelig godt lide 30 Seconds to Mars’ nye album. Jeg hører den hele tiden.
Gustav: Jeg lytter til Devilish.

Interview: Tokio Hotel can't wait to sing at MTV World Stage 2010
There's no doubt about it: Tokio Hotel is one of the biggest bands this year and they have their fans to thank them for. That's why the boys kept gushing about you in this exclusive interview.
You guys put on a terrific show here in Malaysia back in May 2010. What do you miss most about Malaysia?
Bill: When we first came, we were so surprised because everyone was so friendly and we had a warm welcome, so we definitely missed the people and the weather, of course! But on stage, it gets a little too hot and we're not used to it; we were on a European tour and it was cold everywhere. But it was great and we look forward to the show!
What can fans expect from your performance at the MTV World Stage?
B: This time it's going to be bigger: production-wise and special-effects like electric shower. It's going to be really, really cool. We did think about playing naked [laughs]. I wanted to bring my costumes with me from the European tour but I think it will be too hot. Maybe something more casual this time.
It's been two months since we last saw you in May. What have you guys been up to?
B: We were in the studio and we did some promotional tour in Europe. We just launched our new DVD 'Humanoid City Live' and we recorded this at Milano. It's a fantastic live DVD and we had a lot of fun doing this. We also recorded a live album and a new video 'Darkside of The Sun'.
You are set to perform at MTV World Stage with the likes of Katy Perry and Wonder Girls. Who are you most excited to meet?
B: I'm most excited to meet the fans and the crowd. I've never heard about the Wondergirls; they're a completely new band to us. But, the fans are incredible and we're looking forward to our own show and concert.
Tom: For all of us, we're looking forward to our performance and I'm a big fan of Tokio Hotel, so I can't wait to see them live! And they have such a beautiful guitar player! [laughs]
Back in 2008, Katy Perry dedicated her controversial song 'Ur So Gay' to you for beating her to the 'Best New Artiste' Award. Are you flattered?
B: I seriously feel sorry for her that we won! Well, the best band wins [laughs]. And everyone knows we have the best fans in the world!
Tell us more about your fans.
B: They are loyal and they're always there for us. It feels like a whole family on the road; we have some fans who are always at our shows in Europe. We have Tokio Hotel TV and the Internet that we can always check and keep in touch with them.
We understand that Bill and Tom are turning 21 this year. Would you like any presents from your fans?
B: You know, I like diamonds and Ferrari! I like it when fans write us songs and post video messages to us. George will be buying us a Ferrari and a diamond ring!
T: Oh, we have a rule in the band: no presents for nobody as it would be too expensive! We've known each other for ten years and to buy amazing presents for four great people, we thought, we don't want that stress! We just have a great time together. And we party! Let's say George had a party when he's on tour and that was really sweet. Our bus driver arranged for a party in the tour bus! So I gave him a real, warm hug.
Georg: That's what we wish for every year.
We'll give you a hug for the success of 'Humanoid' as well.
B: We are so proud of this record because it's always hard to record the third album as a band. But it was exactly how we wanted; we tried new stuff in the studio and it worked live on stage. Everything's working great, especially the European tour, Malaysia and Asia, and now we're better than ever.
What's next for Tokio Hotel after MTV World Stage 2010?
B: Erm, we are going on a short trip to South America, and after that we go back to Europe to do more promo tours, followed by the studio to write new songs. Hopefully we get a vacation and some time off. It was a long year for us!
Where would you like to go for a vacation?
B: We like small islands. We always go to the Maldives, which is so beautiful. We've been there, I don't know [pauses] it's the most beautiful place in the world. I really like to go somewhere quiet where there is the beach, ocean and nothing else.
Since your band's name is Tokio Hotel, do you have any weird hotel experiences?
B: Yes, we've been to many hotels on our travels and we have a few favourites like the one in Singapore, actually. And we had some bad experience like this hotel in South Africa where we had our video shoot, it was called a hotel but it wasn't a hotel, really. It was like a small bungalow to fit everyone and there was camping involved! It was so f**king cold in the room and there was no heater! Nothing to eat, no Internet and water too! That was really an experience for us.
What do you guys listen to on your iPod?
B: It's a mixture of Aerosmith to pop stuff; I don't have this one band locked down but most of the time, I listen to this band called Tokio Hotel.
Georg: I really like the new record by 30 Seconds to Mars. I listen to it all the time.
Gustav: I listen to Devilish.
