well i found this and wanted to know what you lovely guys thought of it
it does relate to us SLIGHTLY
its quite mmm not so nice but whatever, not everyones nice.:
Lucky at THAmerica translated this article. It's from this month's issue of the German "Popcorn" magazine:
“Why are Tokio Hotel raiders? They are gusty and insatiable. They come flying out of the blue, eat up everything and take what they can get. When they’re finished they disappear again and search for a new terretory, that they pitch into. The talk is about raiders. The hungry careless insects have become a symbol for the greed for success, fast money and fat earnings - without caring about the damage. That does not only apply for companies, but by now also for popstars. All the way up in the league of the raiders is Tokio Hotel. If you look at the behavior of the band for the last few months, then you’ll come to the conclusion that TH have only one thing on their minds; to make fat earnings.
Tokio Hotel are superstars almost all over the world. They are on their way to become Germany’s most successful teen act ever. They earn millions with their CD’s, tours and the sale of merchandise. Still they separate themselves from their followers and the media. They’re not in the mood for interviews, photo sessions and fan meetings. No band bitches around like that, and is so unwilling to give information. Not only POPCORN has experienced this. The youth magazines are the connection between fans and stars. Bill & Co don’t care about this connection, because they think that they can make it on their own. What an arrogant attitude! Only when there are prizes to win, they come out of their shelter like raiders, get the awards - and disappear right after that!
It works in a similar way on their tours. Gigs only take place where the most money is to earn, like in France and America. When TH saw that they couldn’t do anything in England (only place #77 on charts) they left really fast. In other cities and countries this scam is working perfectly. For almost three years TH have now been going on a pray with almost the same song material, from country to country. When one territory is conquered successfully, they jump further and only come back if here is something to “eat”. In February they penetrated Berlin all of a sudden, to get the “Goldene Kamera” - and were gone right after! A Germany-tour, a new CD, a big interview? Non existent!
In the end of March TH will have their one and only gig in Germany during this Europe-tour. A new single or even a new album will be released in autumn the earliest - probably later. Only one thing is for sure; As soon as there is something to get and a new product is out, the TH-raider will make a huge leap into Germany to get it’s prey."

coz you love me 
What bothers me most about this article is that, besides it having some truth to it, it makes it look like it was all up to the guys themselves. We all know that people like labels and management are also part of the equation so it's not fair on the guys, especially not without mentioning how hard they actually work. 
Now they, as a magazine, start whining because obviously they couldn't get an interview. Some parts are just pathetic. Surely they are not the only ones having to deal with the guys' absence. Grow up and stop whining. ha ha. There must be other things they could write about. ;D 
But I honestly have no doubt that it will happen.
