I found it accidentally - it was in my "you might be interested by" videos in my youtube account. But yeah, you can be in charge of the THTV.
And post other pics, videos, TH related stuff. This thread is like a little baby or a plant, waiting for us to help him/it grow I also hate that work interferes with all my real interests i.e. TH, Oomph, music in general, celebrity news, literature...well, everything except librarianship! |

INTERVIEW DE TOKIO HOTEL PAR GIA SUR JUST HITS BY GOOM RADIO envoyé par goomradio. - Regardez plus de clips, en HD ! Interview done in France.� The interviewer talks in French, the boys answer in German, the English translation is below.� All taken from TH-USA INTERVIEW DE TOKIO HOTEL PAR GIA SUR JUST HITS BY GOOM RADIO by goomradio Gia: Today I receive Bill, Tom, Georg and Gustav! Hi guys! You are back with a new track Automatic but mostly a new album expected on the 2th of October available in two versions: English and German. Why in English?Is it to conquer other countries?Because we remember in 2008 you won best band in the USA. Bill(translated by Gia): We decided to make this album in English; we dont know anymore if it was last year or two years ago. From now on, our albums will be in both languages and that has nothing to do with the MTV awards, its more that we want more people to understand our lyrics. Gia: Do you feel the same way when you sing in English and in German? Since English is not your mother tongue so we can imagine that it is more difficult for you. Bill: At first we had to get used to it, especially me and since Im a perfectionist I really wanted it to sound right, with English not being our mother tongue. But now, I am equally at ease when I sing in both languages.I dont even know anymore which one I prefer. Gia: Around this album,there were quite the rumors.Especially about the collaborations: Guy Chambers(and etcThe same list in every interviews they get these last days o_O.)Are these rumors true? Bill: In reality, these are only rumors. We worked with the same producers who worked with us before.Its true that we recorded in the USA. We wont say much about it for now. Gia: The hit we know now is Automatic/Automatisch out on the 2nd of October. Tell us about the song and the clip filmed in the South African desert. Bill: We already choose that title to represent the album because we all thought that it also represented perfectly HUMANOID.It was a track recorded in a very short time. Concerning the clip, we had the chance to shoot in South Africa.It was awesome, we had lots of fun. Gia: The boys even gave their permission to broadcast the clip. Now I feel like asking you more personal questions.Because I know the goomers listening to us right now are dying to know everything about you. Bill and Tom, you just turned 20, how does it feel to have such an huge and an accomplished career already.Do you live your youth despite everything? Bill: We caught up with our youth. We rented an amusement park with our family and friends, Georg and Gustav.It was our childhood dream. Gia: Its true that they did a lot more of things than the average youngsters of their age. They work a lot but they love it. I was wondering what did Georg and Gustav offer you for your birthday? Tom: Normaly we have a rule : we dont give each other gifts. But for the first time, Georg skipped that rule and offered us a video game. We dont give gifts because the best gift is love. Gia: How do you see yourselves in twenty years? Tom: We hope that everything will be fine and that they will always be present. Maybe well have long prolonged holidays but we hope to always play on stage and produce awesome albums. Gia: In what aspect is this album different from the last one?Is it more pop-electro? Bill: Its true that its a bit pop and electro.Its a new sound but its definitely Tokio Hotel. We are waiting anxiously for the fans opinion. Gia: That is also our concern. Do you think the public will be at the rendez-vous?You were gone for two years after all and two years is a lot for the fans. Bill: We hope that it will be the same public, that the fans stay loyal to us.French fans are still under our charms and we also hope to gain new fans.In the end the fans grew up with us anyway. Gia: Why did you stop during two years? Were you too young?Afraid of the success maybe? Bill: It was not a break because last year we went on tour and then we began to work directly on HUMANOID. For the USA it was not felt like a break, but in France it was felt like a huge one. In reality,they didnt even go on vacation. Gia: Youre back Tokio Hotel. After such a long absence how do you feel about this comeback? Bill: We are not under the impression that it is a comeback since we didnt feel like we were gone. Gia: Tokio Hotel has always been present and they are ready. Goom radio fans are asking if you planed concerts already for 2010? Bill: We are in the process of planning everything. No precise dates yet but one thing is sure: well come in Paris in the beginning of 2010 Gia: Last question for all the fans who listen to us, Do you guys have a facebook and a myspace too? TH: We dont have facebook, but we do have a myspace. |

Since I have no idea who to get the video into the message (I need a lesson) I will just post the link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GD--GNW7FE I can say that it must be getting a wee bit frosty in hell because I never thought I would listen to an interview with those two where Tom would dominate a conversation with Bill.

Bill actually looks clueless in this video, totally overshadowed by Tom...you're right, that's a first! Thanks for posting!

Wow look at that I figured out how to add the video - this is from Sweden. I am assuming this is what they refer to as playback as it is obviously not live. I like the white pants - they are a little less revealing. |

Only watched 22 seconds of that vid and put it on pause to reply. I love Bills facial expressions.
Back to watching... |

Oeh, that was such a nice outfit. Im a sucker for white pants (especially when they arent skinny!) and his hair looked nice. And I loved the sleeves of his
jacket!
Only thing that made me go HUH? was his hair in combination with the chain on his shirt; for a minute I thought he tied his hair together in the front! I guess the tshirt+jeansBill is definitely over... |

Yes the teenager is gone - I don't think that we will be seeing white adidas runners anytime soon. I haven't actually watched the whole thing because I
am at work and no one needs to hear me squealing over the white pants.

Swuealing in the office isnt good! Its so stupid but since I found out
that I have 2 german neighbours, I put the sound of TH-youtubevids a bit softer. I dont want them to think Im crazy, right?

suzmac |

Your two German neighbours probably don't know them or if they do they probably don't care about them. I deal with a lot of Germans at work and most
know about them just because they are in popular culture there but most don't care about them. The comment I got was that they are a band for teenagers.
They wonder why I like them as I am so obviously not a teenager.

be so good for my german to have an actual conversation with german people! Although... *insert drumroll* .... I actually had a german conversation with a
woman in a shoestore in germany yesterday! We talked about heels. In german! And about socks! And ofcourse I had no idea anymore what the german words for
socks is! So I cheated a bit and said the english word! I saw such
cute shoes...with heels! But I didnt buy them since Im not good with heels, at all. And now Im more or less pissed that I didnt buy them. Who cares I only wear them indoors?
