Buzzworthy reader and Tokio Hotel fan Kat left the following comment about our Tokio Hotel fan interviews:

Excellent interviews — this is all fantastic coverage! It’s soo good to see the intelligence and love shown by the Tokio Hotel fans. Next up — I want to hear from some male fans of TH! They exist, they’re just sort of . . . stealthy. Anyway good job, thanks so much MTV! You the best!

Aw, thanks, Kat. We asked if we could change our name to MT(H)V, but the powers that be said it wouldn’t be fair to the rest of the bands. Plus it does sort of sound like a growth hormone. Anyway, meet 18-year-old Tokio Hotel fan Timothy, who was man enough to share his respect and admiration for Bill and the boys.

Buzzworthy: What do you love about Tokio Hotel?

Timothy: I really love their lyrics and just, like, their music in general. It just identifies with me in a lot of ways. I’ve been a big fan since the beginning.

BW: Any lyrics in particular that get you?

Timothy: “Don’t Jump.” The lyrics from that song talk about suicide. It’s a common thing for teens to deal with.

BW: How’d you first hear about Tokio Hotel?

Timothy: I was watching IMF, which was an old music station that showed music from all over the world. I saw the video, and I became obsessed.

BW: Do you have a favorite member of the band?

Timothy: Bill Kaulitz, definitely, hands down.

BW: If I could get you alone in a room with him, what you say to him?

Timothy: I would probably faint, to be honest. But… I don’t know…

BW: Once you came to, would you have anything to say, or would you be too freaked out?

Timothy: Probably something along the lines of like, you’re like the biggest hero I could ever have. And like, please, you know, keep me in mind wherever you go. And I’m always gonna be like, looking toward and up to you, and you’re a good person, and that kind of thing.


BW: How’d you get here today?

Timothy: By a long bus ride from central Pennsylvania.

BW: Worth the trip so far?

Timothy: Yes! I got my little wristband, I’m gonna go and get my CD signed and probably freak out later, but yes, it’s good!

+ Tokio Hotel fans, we’ve got more interviews coming up next week. Until then, read our interviews with Charlean, Monica and Katarina, and Josselen and Amada. Plus, check out MTV’s exclusive Tokio Hotel photo gallery, watch their TRL performance, and get behind-the-scenes TRL video footage.

  1. w00t! Way to show the diversity of their fans! See! They're not just hot, but also have amazing music! Thank you so much MTV for helping out Tokio Hotel!
  2. Timothy, YOU are MY hero, you and Bill. Thank you so much for these fan interviews, MT(H)V!
  3. heyyyyyyyyyy TIIIIMMMM!!!
    its us!
    we met you on the line at the virgin megastore in the morning at 4AM !! =] with Tessia [we also ate lunch together... remember the tiny portions of food lol]
    your so lucky that you got your interview published online!!!!
    k bye now
  4. It's so great to hear from a fanboy. Timothy is so cool, Bill is my hero too
  5. Yaaa a Brave fanboy!!! You Rock Timothy!!!
    you too MT(H)V!!! ;)
  6. Tokio Hotel has a diverse fan base so it really bugs me when I read about how their fans are all 13 year old girls. I've even heard rumors that TH is going to be opening for the Jonas Bros. That would really be a shame because TH is so much more appealing to a wider fan base. I'm not ashamed to say that I am 42 years old and I love the band.
  7. Awwww...he's so cute!!!
  8. WoOT. boy fans! I hate how people compare TH to the JoBros. Seriously. Jonas Brothers and Tokio Hotel, NO WAY. i dont think JB HAS any boy fans...TH ROCKS>oh, and GO TIMOTHY!u rock boy.
  9. TH_FAN_BOY !! Amazing !!
    i like that :D


    x
  10. And look! There is another boy right behind him!
  11. This is so awesome! I really like reading about these different kinds of fans. We have boy fans, new fans and dedicated fans
  12. Aw, MTV, I'm sorry they won't let you change the name. My parents wouldn't let me change my last name to "Kaulitz" so I had to settle with a TH logo tattoo. It's the thought that counts, right?

    How cool that you did an interview with a guy fan. They are (somewhat) rare gems and it's nice to see them featured. People often get stuck on the "only young girls like TH" idea so I like that MTV is acknowledging both older fans and the guys.

    I love the fan interviews, as well as the other TH content we've seen on MTV! Keep it up, kiddos.

    xoxo,
    Lotte
  13. I want to marry a TH fanboy and have little twin baby boys and name them Bill and Tom!
  14. WOOP Timmaaaay you rock
    WOOP WOOP
  15. Thank you so much for featuring Tokio Hotel MTV!
    You seem to really like the boys =] It's great to see fanboys, they're very sparse in this fandom. Once again, thanks for all the Tokio Hotel love!
    Next job: bring Tokio Hotel to England!
  16. Yay! Thank you for interviewing a fanboy, I have MAD LOVE for them...;]
    TH has such a wide appeal, even though it doesn't seem that way. Once you get hooked on them, you never really stop liking them. It's like something bites you and then you're addicted. Haha, well, thank you for proving my mother wrong, on her theory that they are JoBros clones that very few people [according to her, mainly preteens -_-] are fans of. MT[H]V, thank you for featuring so much Tokio Hotel content, ich liebe dich!!
  17. omggg, TIM, that's awesome !
    you're famous now ;D
    hopefully you'll read this & add me on myspace or something, cause i was dumb enough not to give you any contact info in NYC.
  18. Awwww that's so cute
    Thank you Timothy and MTHV =D
    Bill must certailny be proud ^_^
  19. Im a fanboy, lol many like TH but they dont dare to admit :P
  20. There are a lot of us guy fans out here! The older they get, the more guys you will see at their concerts.
  21. YAY for TH FANBOYS!!! MTV will you marry me, you guys are like AMAZING!!! Thank You so much for all the coverage on the boys!!! I want to kiss you guys seriously, fer sure!!!!!!!!!
  22. So you've interviewed some girls and a guy. How about some older fans to show that the guys have a diverse following?
  23. i love this guy!
  24. YAY!!! i'm glad to see more fan guys! TH doesn't only have girl fans, and i'm glad there's at least one person that proves that. YOU'RE AWESOME TIMOTHY! :D
  25. Thank you so much MTHV! This is exactly what I wanted... Timothy and boys like him, you have the respect and love of us girls! It's like a guy who's cool enough to wear pink or go shopping with female friends - guys who venture beyond the traditional male comfort zone stand out brighter in contrast to the females around them. We admire strong, secure, open-minded guys! Like Bill and TH! Rock on!
  26. Awesome! Rock on TH fanboys! You are my heros.
  27. AWW timothy that was so sweet and funny, I was there at TRL, and at the signing, I was so excited, I've seen them live 4 times, and I'm not going to stop now, I'm glad to see some guy fans, I saw several at bamboozle, but I wasn't sure if they were fans, or just the boyfriends of fans, lol. Anyways, I want ppl to have my e-mail address so people can talk about Tokio Hotel, the way I do. So here its for the taking, go ahead any TH fan can have it.

    P.S. If anyone wants to know who I am, watch the TH performance, and look at TOM, then you'll see a girl with a grey shirt, and half up half down hairdo, thats me!!!!!
  28. Wow, male fans of Tokio Hotel sure are "stealthy" (as mtv put it). Its nice to know people don't just like them for their sex appeal. Though they are a total turn on they've never done anything to become these sex symbols. Most people (I know) don't actually see the depth of their music. Congrats on proclaiming your support. Most guys (that I know) don't take them seriously because Bill supposedly looks like a girl and because Tom is a "wanna be" gangster.
  29. I love tim hahahhah :]
    And i like some tokio hotel songs i guess they arent that bad
  30. Hi , Im A Boy Fan Of Tokio Hotel And I Think That They're Music Is The Blimin' Bomb And That Bill, Tom, Georg & Güstav Are AWESOME ! My Fave Song Is Love Is Dead But I Also Like ... EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEY'RE SONGS ! I Want To Go See Them In Concert One Day But I Live In Spain And They Are Doing US At The Moment So I Got To Wait Ages For Them To Come ! LOL . I Am Probably The Only DedicatedFan In My Whole School ... I Adore Tokio Hotel For Ever . Cya L8ers ! <3

    PS ... Timothy ROCKS !
  31. TOKIO HOTEL FÜR IMMER !
