http://www.mediafire.com/?ylylz0l5omzI: Girls and boys, the ones of you that would die to be at my place, raise your hands. Basically everyone! Bill, Tom, Georg and Gustav: Tokio Hotel. Thanks for being here.
All: Ciao!
I: Now a hello for our friends at msn!
Bill: Good morning... all together ^_^"
G, G, T: Ciao a tutti!
I: TH are here to answer your questions, the ones you submitted to our website. Let's start with Beatrice's question: why did you choose Automatic as the first single? Do you think it represents the sound of the new album well?
B: Sure. It had the right energy, the right atmosphere; we all agreed that it had to be the first single, that it was like the underlying theme of the whole album. Actually, it was one of the last songs we wrote for the album, but we immediately agreed.

I: So another question for you from Gerardo, as we don't just have girls' questions here. Bill, don't you think the electronic sound you've worked with in Humanoid penalizes your voice a bit, compared to the previous albums?
T: No, I'd rather say the guitar is actually the one that gets penalized. Not his voice.
I: Let's have a talk about technologies now. Who of you is fond of technology and the internet, and what do you like doing in the web?
B: I have to say, we're kinda old-fashioned for our age. We just do ordinary stuff in the internet... check our mails... Tom also has his blog now. A part from that.. we're no internet-freaks. Sure you read stuff, we're curious, we go read fans' reactions and suff..
T: We try to carry our fans along with us. As said, I have my blog to give them a vision on myself, what I love, what I'm interested in... and what I'm not. Then we have THTV, following us 24/7, to show people the way we are when cameras are gone, and we're just f***ing around.
I: Federica. She'd like to speak of love. How should a girl be to catch your attention immediatley? Not just phisically. What hits you the most, in a girl?
B: Ewww...
T: First of all, she has to get my sense of humor. Which is not easy. And then just generally...you just have to feel complementary, from the beginning. You can't really think of concepts. You immediately feel it, if you're on the same wavelength. It just has to feel right.
I: If each of you could choose to be the singer, or guitarist, or bassist or drummer of another band, for one day. Which band would it be? Also from the past.
B & T : Aerosmith
Ge: Oasis
Gu: Metallica.
I: Yeah fine. Interesting! Different tastes. Let's talk about Italy now. The previous question was from Antonella, this one is from Asia: would you guys like to write a song in Italian? Have you ever thought about that? Or: would you like to do a collab with an italian artist, and who?
B: The thing is, I''ve already have enough with my two languages, German and English, so there's no plan for that now.
I: Your career: were you not musicians, what kind of job would you be doing? Don't you ever think about a different life?
B: I can't imagine my life to be other than music, we have no B plan. We'd be jobless musicians, playing in some cheap club, in front of just few people...
T: I can think of three other jobs: Policeman. Lazy policeman, sure. Lawyer. Or Porno star.
I: Oh! Ok. That was clear even without translating.
I: Something curious: Bill, Ludovica says you have a tattoo saying: we'll neve stop screaming, we'll go back to the origins. What origins are those? Have you reached them yet, or how far are you from getting to them?
B: Well... I think it's a bit too complicated to explain. It's something very personal, just mine. I don't even think everyone could understand. But I haven't got back to the origins yet. I still need some years, but I'm very glad I can do it and I can't wait to.
I: This one is very cute. Alessia says: Bill, you once said that during the concerts it's like all the girls became one, screaming and singing along with you. Well, what is that girl like? How do you picture her in your mind?
B: Oh I don't have a fantasy girl or a dream girl, anything like that. I would't be able to answer if someone asked me what my ideal girl is like. I do believe in love at first sight, and I'll know it straight away when I meet the right one. To build one ex nove, I'm not even interested in that.
T: The Feminine version of Georg. More or less.
I: Now a question from Debora to Gustav: how and why did you come up with the idea of doing the wave at the end you your concerts?
Gu: I'm a typical soccer fan. And when you get to have a moment all by yourself, it's like a highlight.
I: As you're soccer fans, what's your favourite soccer team?
Ge: Magdeburg!
Gu: Yeah totally.
T: ???? [ what is the name?? XD ]
I: Lost of fans are asking us if a new tour is going to start, and if so, what italian cities are you gonna visit?
B: We can't say anything specific at the moment. We're still planning. We have a new booking agency, and a new production agency (?)... we wiil come back anyway, but we don't know the exact dates, or how many, yet.
I: Ok, so we'll get more info in the next weeks or months.
