I got this interview from tokiohotelamerica.com (there is no link so I've got to post the hole thing-.-')

To see the article direct from the magazine go <a href="http://www.forum-tokio-hotel.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=1575">here</a>

In their suite…

While touring, the TH have opened the doors of their suites to STAR Club for an interview of half an hour. Relaxed but already tired, they later had to cancel the appointment of Douai because Bill was… (not readable) That evening, nevertheless, the TH have told us how they are preparing for the Parc des Princes in Paris. They jitter, the greats!

Bill: “That other bands leave us alone!”

STAR Club: How are you doing? Does this tour go well?
Bill: Yes, it does. We are still a little bit tired. We’ve just got up, it is 14:30, but it’s ok.

Did you party yesterday?
Tom: We would have loved … But no. On tour, it is concert, dinner and beddy-byes (sleep) … We have to keep up with the stress of the concerts. After that, we stay up rather late, we are among us talking. We do not go to bed before 3 or 4 o’clock in the morning. We are night owls.

You are on stage in the evening, fans arrive in the morning. Does that surprise you?
Bill: We hallucinate, you mean! It seems that some girls have slept outside at Bercy, to be closer.
Tom: They should have been freezing to death because I was cold even under the duvet.

You have renounced singing in English?
Bill: In France, we only sing in German because our fans do not like our English versions. But in Brussels, we sing everything in English. In other countries, we mix English and German. It is quite complicated and one is always afraid to mix brushes. But we make it!

Does it happen to you to have lapse of memory?
Bill: No!
Tom: Yeah? And the Zenith of Paris?
Bill: Yeah, it’s true; I sang twice the same couplet of a song.
Georg: Anyway, when he has a lapse, he only has to move the microphone to the public and girls sing in his stead.

And the approaching of the Parc des Princes, does it give you stage fright?
Bill: We do not stop thinking about it. We are very impatient to be enormous there. For us, this is an immense honour to make such a huge venue. We will make it a very special evening for our fans. But you will not know anything more before June 21!

In fact, your French fans get a lot of things: the date change for the Parc des Princes because of exams, an extra concert in their region…

Bill: It’s great! We have an added concert in Dijon and that is thanks to our fans. Ditto in the West. However, we have already gone there during our last tour. And we would come back for the next!
Tom: Continue to make demonstrations and petitions. That’s how we love you. You are too strong and too rebellious! (He raises his fist…) Fight for your rights.

Tom: “On tour, it is concert, dinner and beddy-byes …”

You are going to release a new album. That’s going to be pressure?
Bill: No, we are not afraid. Not because we are sure of ourselves, but because we know that if we put pressure, we won’t work well.
Tom: It sucks to be afraid and trying to work too quickly. We do not work in the rush. We will take the time for this third album. We want to get out of the studio with something that looks like ours as much as the previous two albums.
Bill: Anyway, the pressure was much stronger for the second because after the success of the first, it was necessary to prove that it was not a one shot.

picture of Bill
Lost/Broken voice! They love the stage and whoop it up,
hence the problems of the vocal chords of Bill.
Prompt recovery to him…

Do you release one last single before?
Bill: It’s possible. We talk about it but it is not yet sure … But there will be no clip, because we will not have time.

Considering the time to do this album, would you be able to disappear from the newspapers for six months?
Tom: Frankly? We would love to!
Bill: There is no need to give interviews to be in the press. It’s enough to be on holiday for three weeks in the Maldives!
Tom: That would give us a little rest to do nothing else than our album!
Bill: There will always be a hidden photographer or a new story. In Germany, without interview for three months, the magazines were full of invented ones.
Georg: Anyway, as the recording of the album will coincide with our promo in new countries, we will not disappear completely.

There are no new rumours about you?
Bill: We avoid reading them and we don’t have time. New rumours, we hear about them in interviews. Are there any new ones in France?

Nothing… Unless you are in love?
All: No!

Could you change your look for the next album?
Bill: Our looks are not made according to our albums. Rather, according to our wishes. So we will see …
Tom: If actually, Georg will have a new haircut at the Parc (des Princes) or he will be naked!

It is said that you are making rock music for girls. Do you want to broaden your audience?
Bill: Those are jealous people! If all bands could have fans as special as ours, they would leave us alone a little bit!
Tom: When it is a critique on our music, we listen. But you do not criticise our fans! They are the best. But I understand… If I were them, I would be jealous too!

[VOTE]

Tokio Hotel have now decided to give out an official book about them selves.

Pages: About 112

Pictures: About 150 in color

Text: About 20 000 words (weird thing to tell xD)

Paperback, 25x25cm

Some info about the things happening in the US.

Thanks to tokiohotelamerica.com for this

"CONAN O’BRIEN: Tickets for Conan O’Brien tend to be on back order for up to 2 months. Meaning, as of right now it is probably impossible to get tickets for the 9th BUT if you’d like to give it a shot call this number: (212) 664-3056/3057 Monday-Friday from 10 - 5pm. There is also something called Stand-By. BEAR IN MIND YOU MUST BE 16 YEARS OR OLDER WITH AN ID TO ENTER THE STUDIO. If you want to try for tickets I recommend getting to the studio at about 6AM and waiting in line for something called stand-by. About 20 to 25 people are basically given entrance from the street. So, yeah, waiting on stand-by if you’re one of the first 20 - 25 is usually a good idea. If you’ve decided not to try for tickets I recommend waiting outside. I doubt that the band will be garaged (a term for when they are literally taken through the garage so as not to be bombarded) especially with it being so soon after the release of the album, they want all the fan love/publicity they can go. So for that go to 30 Rockefeller Plaza. It will be fairly easy to meet them afterwards, I imagine. It usually is if management isn’t being tough.

VIRGIN MEGASTORE SIGNING:

1540 Broadway
Level 2
New York, NY 10036
(212) 921-1020

After a number of Megastore signings I can faithfully say that I am most likely the master of Virgin signings. First of all, Virgin is located in Times Sq. From Port Authority you just walk up an ave, make a right and head down until you see Times Sq. Walk a bit further and it’ll be right there on your right. *FOR EVERY VIRGIN SIGNING I HAVE BEEN TO I HAVE GOTTEN THERE NO LATER THAN 3AM. The doors to the store open at 7. You walk in, purchase your CDs and recieve wristbands. There are usually TWO colored bands. One to ensure you make it to the performance AND the signing. And the other to ensure that you get into the store and might make it to the signing, depending on when they decide to cut it off. Usually, either which way, they do the entire signing. But, once again, I don’t know what management is thinking so I suggest you get there early and get the first wristbands. After getting the wristband you will be escorted BACK outside and get into line AGAIN. You will wait another 10 hours until about 7pm and then you will be let in IN LINE and taken down the 2 escalators to the bottom floor where IN LINE you will watch the performance. You will then make your way down the line to the left and meet the boys who will be sitting down at a table. NO PICTURES WITH THEM. AND USUALLY NO GETTING ANYTHING OTHER THAN YOUR CD SIGNED. *USUALLY* Any questions about the signing feel free to ask me. ***FOR PEOPLE INTERESTED IN GOING TO TRL - ONCE YOU GET YOUR WRISTBAND, IF YOU RECIEVE ONE OF THE FIRST 500 COLORED ONES YOU ARE ABLE TO LEAVE THE LINE BEARING IN MIND THAT IF THERE IS A PERFORMANCE YOU WILL BE AT THE BACK OF THE ROOM FOR IT (THE ROOM IS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A CONCERT HALL, YOU CAN SEE FROM ANYWHERE AND THE SET IS USUALLY ONLY ABOUT 3 - 4 SONGS SO IT’S NOT A BIG DEAL…) SO YES… YOU CAN GET OFF OF THE LINE AFTER RECIEVING YOUR WRISTBANDS AND GO TO TRL. YOU WON’T MISS ANYTHING BECAUSE THERE WILL BE NOTHING TO MISS WHAT WITH THE GUYS BEING INSIDE THE TRL STUDIOS. TRL IS LOCATED LEGIT RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM VIRGIN.

BAMBOOZLE: This is probably the event people will have the most questions about. Doors open at 11:30AM (I believe, I could be wrong, once again this is off of the top of my head… so double check that.) There is NO NEED to sleep out for this. Bamboozle is in the parking lot of Continental Arena (Or the Izod if you’re one of those new kids…) and it is MASSIVE. There are approx 10 stages with something like 65,000 acts. (That’s a joke. Laugh.) TOKIO HOTEL’S STAGE HAS NOT YET BEEN ANNOUNCED. Do not die. There will be a sheet that you can print off with times and stages when the date gets nearer. THIS SHEET ALSO TENDS TO LIE VICIOUSLY ABOUT TIMES. Make sure you continue to check back at their stage to see if they’re a few acts behind or running a couple thousand hours ahead. (Which has happened to me and I’ve missed complete acts of favorite bands. Not fun.) YOU WILL NOT DIE IN THE BAMBOOZLE CROWD. Chances are there will be roughly 30 people at the Tokio Hotel stage and it will be one of the side stages towards the back of the parking lot. Chances are these 30 people will be 25 girls and 5 mothers. I could be exageratting but for 60$ I don’t think too many people are going to show up JUST for TH. You also don’t need to wait at the stage all day if you don’t want to. But, be weary of the fact that most times security gets snippy and makes you get into lines and then you have about 5 minutes passing time between acts. IF THIS IS HAPPENING I SUGGEST YOU STAY IN THE AREA OF THE PARKING LOT WITH TOKIO HOTELS STAGE. Also, sometimes acts are walking around/at other venues watching other acts. I doubt this will happen since Saki can’t bring his sniper rifle on the airplane, but still… if it does… I don’t know what to tell you other than enjoy."

"It was truly an event to remember, when 400 crazy fans gathered around to meet and greet their favorite German rockers today!

We were thrilled to see Tom, Georg and Gustav of the incredibly cool rock band, Tokio Hotel, visit our very own Habbo Hotel today! Sadly, as most of you know, they had to postpone their Canada tour due to Bill's surgery, however, that didn't stop them from coming online and rocking out with you guys!

They had a great time, and the Tokio Hotel Lounge (which had been full for 24 hours!) was filled to the brim with dancing Habbos - and, let's not forget, 400 onlookers!

We really can't wait until they finally come to Canada to rock out on our stages again, but until then, at least we got a great dose of Tokio Hotel to tie us over!

As promised, we served them up with a handful of questions that you guys sent us, and so we bring you those right now!

Asked by Chloroform
What bands would you say helped influence your music?
There's no specific band. We all are into different music!

Asked by .Star.Princess.
Which city was your all time favorite to be in and to perform in?
We can't pick one – we played so many amazing places!

Asked by alex0013
What do you do if you have a bad day and how do you fix it?
We know each other really well and first if one of us has a bad day we just let him do his thing – or we all laugh about georg

Asked by Apple.11
I love your song “Ready, Set, Go!” I was just wondering what is that song about?
It's about going for your dream! It's about being brave and going for your dreams whatever people might say or think – it's about leaving everything behind you!

Asked by BabyFayceTM
Question for Tom: I saw in some pictures of you, in the time of Monsoon that you have a scar on your eyebrow...how that happen? Any twins fight?
Bill gave me a hard push – I fell – and a snowboard hit me – we were 6 years old

Asked by baffling
What made you come up with the group name TokioHotel?
Well we had a different band name in former times – then we changed and we wanted a name that really fit us – so, we all love really big cities and especially Tokio. We think it sounds great and we were looking for a symbol that would represent our lives – so we thought being musicians, traveling al the time we would live in hotels all the time – so here you go: Tokio Hotel!

Asked by biega101
What do u guys like to do when you aren’t making music or touring?
We all like to relax – to eat and sleep and eat and watch tv… and sleep and sleep

Asked by Toper
If I was to start a band someday is there any advice you would give me?
Oh we hate people who give advices, people who think they know everything and need to tell you how the world is running! It's important to do your thing, that's what we always did.

Asked by Kohaul
You recently played Canada for the first time. What do you think of our Country?
We loved it! We had a really great time and the Canadian fans were really amazing – we can't wait to come back!"

Here is a handwritten letter from Bill

First picture of Bill after his operation 16 days ago.

He has pulled down his cap over his face and is hiding his eyes behind massive sunglasses.

We are seeing the first picture of Rockstar Bill Kaulitz (18) after his surgery 16 days ago. The singer of the successful band “Tokio Hotel” is escorted by two security guards from his Hamburger house to a limo. Then his driver takes him off to Berlin.

“Bill is going back and forth between his Hamburg and Berlin house at the moment,” tells his producer and manager David Jost. And his fans can soon finally breathe again. His voice is coming back!

David Jost: “His voice rehabilitation is going according to plan. After doing some voice exercises for the last couple of days, Bill has hummed his first tune.”

When will Bill be able to get back on stage?

David Jost: “On May 3rd, Bill will sing his first concert at a festival in New York since the surgery.” In America it is going sensational for Tokio Hotel.

On the big music channel MTV, the band is having the most played video since two weeks with their English version of the hit: ‘Ubers ende der welt” (Ready, Set, Go!). In the Canadian charts, the album has gone into the top ten.

David Jost: “Bill can’t wait to get back on stage again. He has never had such a long singing break. He is totally going crazy from impatience.”
