Black #9 - Spain (Dec 2008)

* TRANSLATION BY NEELYO:

Part 1

You've criticized the heck out of them. It's a good thing their fans are willing
to stand up for them, no matter what. Whether it's positive or negative,
people are passionate about them.

Hated
Bushido is the band's number one enemy. The guy's had it with the success
the band is having. 'Bill doesn't have a voive, he can't write either. He's weird
too', he states. Go figure!
But that's not it. Peter One, who is probably known only in Germany, has
written a song dedicated to Tokio Hotel. In the song he says 'nice' things
such as 'I hate Tokio Hotel'. He even implies that Bill and Tom have something
going on! Is it maybe that he just wants publicity?

The Fight with Katy
With the new bad girl, the relationship isn't exactly peachy. Katy was in the
same categories they were in at the MTV Awards and the German band took
all the awards home. Apparently, she didn't like that very much and later that
night she wrote in her blog 'I've donated my awards for charity'.
But that's not all. During a concert, she dedicated Ur So Gay 'To Tokio Hotel's
front man'. Knowing that she's a prankster, we don't take it personal,
but...didn't she have another song?

Too original
When you're different, you're bound to attract attention. That's why, when
Tokio Hotel finally hit the USA, the criticism came for everywhere. A bunch of
newspapers accused them of being too androginous, too over the top and
they also accused them of having lost their sould on the way to the top.
Then the thing about them not eating, which is probably the most common
rumor for the Kaulitz brothers. Many articles say the are anorexic!
The boys are so fed up, that they take it all as a joke. 'Yes, I spend the day
throwing up.' says Bill with irony.
What they have to put up with...

Part 2

Loved
"The fans are the ones that make our hard work make sense", says Tom
whenever he can. We all know about Tom's soft spot for groupies!

Meetings, magazines, web sites... Tokio Hotel fans are hard workers and
they are always in the know of what's going on with 'their boys'.

If they have to use the bathroom on the other side of the world, the fans
know. "It's crazy, they find out everything even before we do!", says Bill laughing.

Whether it rains or snows
The fans know for a fact that for a band to succeed, they have to be there,
always. That's why they are always following their favorite German band.

"We are like a big family"
That's what the fans say on the forum. That's why, when Bill lost his voice,
they never stopped supporting him. They did everything so that 'the world's
biggest hair spray fan' didn't feel alone. These boys can't complain!

In our country, fans organize a ton of meetings. That's how they meet and
get to talk about their favorite musicians. The last one was to ask them to
please come back and tour Europe again. And it was quite a thing! Now
we've got to see if they listen, we want to be close to them too!
