About Bill in STK Steakhouse – Los Angeles (21. 08. 2010)
Take this with a grain of salt, please. The man is a paparazzi after all.
Interesting fact :
The term paparazzi comes from Italian and it means mosquito. In a 1960 film “La dolce vita”, the director Federico Fellini named one of his characters Paparazzo. He was an especially annoying news reporter
. Soon after it was widely used to refer to photojournalists who specialize in candid photography of celebrities.
In other words, they’re as annoying as mosquito =) They suck your blood and the only way to get rid of them is to crush them.
HOURS BEFORE they went onstage, the members of Tokio Hotel – frontman Bill Kaulitz, his twin and guitarist Tom, drummer Gustav Schäfer and bass guitarist Georg Listing – met briefly with Malaysian media, where they chatted about their music and future plans.
“We’re excited to see our fans for the second time,” Bill said, “We’ve played one gig in Malaysia already, and our plan was definitely to come back soon. It’s lucky that we can be here and we’ve brought some stuff from our European tour over. This time it’s going to be a little bit bigger!”
The boys also touched on one of their pet peeves: the fact that people still ask them the meaning of their band name. “We get used to it, but I think it’s a little bit sad that people get the chance to see us and ask us questions, and they have no other questions than that!” Bill exclaimed.
But they have never thought of changing their name “because then we’d have to start all over again!”

Taking their sound overseas, the members of Tokio Hotel were among the participants in the MTV World Stage Live In Malaysia music event in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on Saturday (July 31).
With Bill Kaulitz, Tom Kaulitz, Gustav Schaefer and Georg Listing all on-hand at the Sunway Lagoon Resort Surf Beach venue, the quartet took part in a press conference before taking the stage for a smokin’ set including Noise, Automatic, Dogs Unleashed and Forever Now.
Chatting with press before their turn onstage, MTV asked the group what fans could expect from the show, to which Bill replied, “What we did on this record is that we tried some new instruments, the guys are playing keyboards, and they are playing piano for the first time, because in general, Tom is only playing the guitar, but he’s also really talented when it comes to the piano, so we went with a new record to try new stuff on stage as well.”
Also asked if there are ever any nerves before performing to packed crowds, the Tokio Hotel frontman answered, “Yes, we do. But when you play a tour for like 3 months or something…with the large shows when it’s the same every night, it’s not that bad, you get used to it. We are always nervous when it’s just the one show, just the one possibility, and it’s always exciting. I think it’s a normal thing to be nervous.”
Tokio Hotel at MTV World Stage Live in Malaysia 2010– Ready, Set, Scream
Chart-topping singles, platinum-selling albums, electrifying gigs, and a slew of awards – these are the hallmarks of the Tokio Hotel empire. Waking in different hotels every few weeks and being surrounded by hordes of devoted fans showing up at every turn have become staples for the Tokio Hotel boys, and the Kaulitz twins haven’t even turned 21 yet.
Rockers Tokio Hotel happy to pump up the volume
The last time German rockers Tokio Hotel were in town, they played an acoustic showcase – a far cry from Humanoid City, the ballsy show they’ve been touring recently. This time round, when Tokio Hotel return to our shores for Singfest, they promise to rock out – albeit on a smaller scale than Humanoid City.
“We will have a full electric show, but we won’t be able to bring the whole set for Humanoid City,” said Tokio Hotel singer Bill Kaulitz over the phone. “But it’s going to be a great show anyway.”
What do you expect this time?
“We expect great weather. And great audience. Well, you know, we’d rather see the fans face to face than just read about them or hear about them on the Internet. This time we can see them face-to-face and see their reactions and emotions. That’s always a great thing. So we’re excited.”
Did you see much of Singapore and try the local food last time?
“The schedule was really, really tight the last time, so we didn’t see the whole city and all of our fans, But it was fantastic. We just ate pasta, pizza and things like that. Maybe we’ll get to try some this time.”

Tokio Hotel can’t wait to sing at MTV World Stage 2010
There’s no doubt about it: Tokio Hotel is one of the biggest bands this year and they have their fans to thank them for. That’s why the boys kept gushing about you in this exclusive interview.
You guys put on a terrific show here in Malaysia back in May 2010. What do you miss most about Malaysia?
Bill: When we first came, we were so surprised because everyone was so friendly and we had a warm welcome, so we definitely missed the people and the weather, of course! But on stage, it gets a little too hot and we’re not used to it; we were on a European tour and it was cold everywhere. But it was great and we look forward to the show!
What can fans expect from your performance at the MTV World Stage?
B: This time it’s going to be bigger: production-wise and special-effects like electric shower. It’s going to be really, really cool. We did think about playing naked [laughs]. I wanted to bring my costumes with me from the European tour but I think it will be too hot. Maybe something more casual this time.
