"To who this concerns, hello!

We are Tokio Hotel's European fans and we have something to ask you to do at the MTV VMA'S 2008.
We're sending this e-mail to ask you to, if the award show goes after midnight start saying "Happy Birthday" to Gustav Schäfer (drummer of the band) because it's his 20th birthday.
We also want to ask you to say that that was an idea from their european fans to show them that we won't forguet them so soon even if they are an ocean away.
Hopefully it won't mess with the alignement of the show.

We hope you listen to us,
European Tokio Hotel's fans"

I think this is a great idea if they let us do that, I've already sent my e-mail! Hope you do the same, because they really deserve it!

See ya guys! <3

THURSDAY, 21ST AUGUST 2008 | Version 8

Welcome to the version 8.0 of Forever Sacred! As you can see, this layout features only Tom & Bill with pictures from the Orange Photoshoot (2005)! Since their birthday is coming (1st September), I really had to bring this up in here!
The old layout was really cool (at least I liked it) and it looked professional, that's why I kept it online for more than a month! Since the other version colors were darker, to this one I wanted much more bright colors and I think I've made it!
And to be honest, when I said in the last update that I would work on the new layout, I didn't think I would have it ready so soon! xD
Please let me know what you think about this new version, I would like to have some opinions on it!

Bye! <3

WEDNESDAY, 20TH AUGUST 2008 | Nürnberger Zeitung Article + Audio Interview

So, and now to the Tokio Hotel concert in San Francisco tonight. The boys from Magdeburg played at the legendary Fillmore. At the same place where already all well-known artists of the live music business played… Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty… and now also the colorful Tour Posters from Tokio Hotel are on the wall.

And I have to say, the whole venue trembled when Tokio Hotel were playing. Even hours before the concert began - mostly young - female fans waited for the show to begin. Before the curtain fell, the Rowdies said, they should get a little reconnaissance work in rock so AC / DC and Aerosmith music filled the venue. But they could have saved that, because the four rockers from Magdeburh know very well how to play a real Rock Show.

And then you couldn't stop the crowd anymore… in front of the stage, the devil was going on. This wild and earpircing screams… it started… and Tokio Hotel rocked the room. The four boys from Magdeburg had their audience firmly in the hands. Except for the addition of "Durch den Monsun" all songs were sung in English. The Song was already in the program in English, but "Durch den Monsun" was the highlight of the evening and was accompanied by screaming girls.

The show was perfect, the mood was great and at the end you could say that this promotion tour for Tokio Hotel is worth it. And singer Bill already announced on the stage, that the band will soon be back in San Francisco. And even I, who grew up with AC / DC, Uriah Heep and Rainbow, was convinced at the end of this show that the young band played a well show at the Fillmore.

Before the concert started I had the opportunity to speak with Tokio Hotel and it was one of the most comfortable and for me most surprising interviews I've ever had. Although the four had every reason, to be aloof and tired to the journalists, they were friendly, polite and very open, honest and on the bottom of the facts. But, listen for yourself….

The days of Drugs & Sex are long gone though, according to Georg:
Drugs have never played a big part in the band's history, and now it's only alcohol from time to time. Due to their busy schedule, sex is no subject on the US tour. Not even for Tom, who says that it's even harder to get intimate with someone than it is in Europe, because their schedule is even tighter this time.
They do have lots of fun on the tour nevertheless.

About how much they get to see of the countries they travel to:
Because of their schedule there is hardly any time for sightseeing. They managed to get to see a bit of most of the european countries by now. They are not really the type of people interested in seeing museums and other cultural things. Whenever they have some time off, they try to get to know the cities by walking around, or sitting in the sun & drinking coffee.

About the american fans:
They are in the lucky position that they can meet many fans in the US due Meet & Greets, which they have almost daily. On their first trip to America they were proud of every single american fan, because it felt so surreal to them. And they were extremely interested in what those fans had to say.

About working on the new album:
They need to have a break as soon as the US tour is over. They already started working on the new album, but when they come home they will lock themselves up in the studio for real - with no interviews, tv shows,... They need to be far away from the public eye to concentrate on their work. There are lots of new things they wanna try this time.

Most ideas for the new songs are already in their heads. Like for Zimmer 483, where the majority of songs came from experiences on tour, that's still what inspires them the most.

Bill says that he feels the need to be away from the public & concerts while recording the new album is very strong. It's hard for him to work on new stuff while he is still performing the old songs on stage every night. That makes writing songs on the road a bit difficult.
He needs to go somewhere quiet and peaceful, to clear his head before he can start working.

About arguments in the band:
They know each other to well to have real fights. Bill says that he can tall exactly at every moment what for example Georg thinks & feels. And so fights can easily be avoided.
When one of them starts a fight, it's a action done on purpose. They know how to provoke each other, and sometimes use fights to let off steam.

About things they regret in terms of their career:
When speaking of the subject if everything happend to fast, and if they might should have taken a bit more time for some things, Bill says it's actually their own fault that they never had a real break. They are all addicted to success and always want more and more.

They made - and still make - a lot of mistakes. But they don't regret a single one of them. The mistakes belong to them, and made them the band that they are now.

About holidays this year:
They will have 2 weeks off this year, spending them as usual somewhere in the sun.

With the release of the new album next year, it will again be 300 days of touring (concerts & promotion) - the small rast are for rehearsals and being in the studio for other projects.

Besides the 2 weeks of holidays it's very hard to sneak in a day off. The twins wanted to have a free day on their birthday, but due their busy schedule this year it won't be possible.

This update is biiig! I really like this interview, specially because it isn't repetitive and it's very interesting!

Have a nice day! <3
