VIP Chat Transcript

Follow us back in time. The date? June 30, 2008. The event? VIP Chat with Tokio Hotel. The attendees? About 50,000 of us and four German guys. Let’s go! (In the past, this was archived on the VIP only section of the Tokio Hotel site, but since that is gone… here it is!)

Moderator: hi everybody, great that you’re joining this chat – let’s start!

Monsterbash101: What would each of you do if you were given the ultimate power and could rule the world?
bill: wow, that’s a hard one – there are so many possibilities and things to do! tom: i would start with a law saying that all the women have to go nacked :)))

Sia: A question for Tom: Tom, don’t you get hot in the summer wearing jeans, three t-shirts, two bandanas, and a CAP? Tell us your secret.
Tom: Of course – but you know: Who wants to look really cool and sexy has to suffer :)))

Ghost: Georg, is it true that you tend to sleep naked? (Something I read on the internet)
Georg: Once in a while, when it’s really hot – Tom: That’s actually bullshit ;)

FrakingSpammer: Bill and Tom, why did your parents chose such names for you? They are very unusual for Germans.
Bill: My mom new right away that she has to call after us all the time – so she wanted to keep it simple :)

Chicka: This is for all my guys-Would you ever date a fan…..and if you wouldn’t what would you do if she was the perfect one for you????
Bill: If you fall for a girl and you really like her it doesn’t matter if she’s a fan or if she isn’t!

Mishka: All: Who do you guys think, would be the first one to settle down and get married.
Bill: Tom :) Tom: Bill :)

Durchdenmonsun77: For Tom and Bill, when you were younger, who had to do the most chores? ;)
Tom: ME! Bill: Yeah, you wish ;)

Lauren: What did you guys enjoy the most while touring North America?
Bill: Oh so many things have been so amazing – meeting our fans for the very first time, and then again. All the shows we played and partied with you guys, travelling, and of course N.Y. and L.A. – we love these cities.

Emma: Bill: What’s the craziest dream you’ve ever had? Also are you guys coming back to the U.S soon? I’d love to see you guys in concert, I heard it’s amazing :)
Bill: I dream a lot, but the most craciest thing was that Tom and I had the same dream the same night when we were really young.

Elle: How do you guys feel about your fans? Do things ever get a little crazy for you?
Bill: No, we always love everything about our fans – all the energy they show us – that’s great. But of course there is part, our private live, that we like to keep for us. But as soon as we are on the road we can’t get enough of everything! :)

Becca: Bill and Tom. Do you guys ever feel like you have to compete for attention with fans? All: What do you feel you would be doing if the band hadn’t worked out?
Tom: No, Bill gave up on that a couple years ago! :) Bill: Yeah, we would all do music anyway!

Claire: I understand that you guys first started off with the band name “Develish”… Why did you change it to Tokio Hotel?
Bill: After a while we just felt Develish wouldn’t fit us any more so we changed it into one that really did!

myLIFEisMUZIK: Bil and Tom: In your opinion, which color hair is hottest on a girl: Brown, red, blonde, black, or some crazy NEON color???
Tom: It wouldn’t be smart to focus on one hair color would it? :)

THrox: Are you guys scared of anything? If yes..what?
Bill: I’m afraid of not finding true love!

bulmaconpeppermint: What ban would you like to play a private concert just for you and why?
Bill: Coldplay – I love the new album – Tom: The Pussy Cat Dolls – you know why :)

Nnerka: Gustav: Everyone else seems somewhat into the styles of their hair. Have you ever wanted to change up your hairstyle a bit?
Gustav: No, I always liked it the way it is – Georg (laughing): Yeah, and you’re standing pritty alone with that opinion.

britt: For all you guys: does a girl have to be a certain age or have a certain size for you to like them and does it matter if a girl wears makeup?
Bill: I think you don’t look at these things if you fall in love – Tom: And I am open for anything anyways :)

loveTH: what is the weirdest thing an interviewer has ever asked each of you.. and how did you respond?
Bill: One reporter once thought Georg is the light engineer – that was funny (giggles)

hailey: DO you have a hard time with any of your songs after surgery?
Bill: No, I don’t have any problems at al – fortunately. It’s all like before :)

coco beanz: Bill, what is the sweetest thing you did for a girl?
Bill: I set up a picknick! :)

kay: What is the craziest thing that happened to you while you were on tour>
Bill: A lot of stuff happens. But the craziest thing happened in L.A, we were sitting in our backstage room and all of a sudden a girl climbed through our window on the second floor – and she lost her camera. I really felt sorry for her.

Eclipse: Tom, do you ever think you would get rid of your dread locks?
Tom: Maybe sometime, but I really love them. But if Georg gets rid of his in his panties I might. Giggle :)
Moderator: O.k. guys – we have to go! It was really so much fun to chat with you! We hope we see you soon – check our new tourdates and we’ll have a great time when we come back! You guys rock! Take care so long!!!
