Aw, that's alright, Kiah. We're an awesome ST! *yay us* Even if no one else would ever get to realize that, to me, the main thing is that the UK fans see it, appreciate the ST and love to get involved in promoting Tokio Hotel. This is the case as all of you show us daily.
Of course it must seem like America get all the attention and no one else does and they do at the moment. But it's necessary. Yes, I agree there should be some more balance but truth is, no matter how much TH give to their fans they're never really happy as soon as they feel left behind. Just to take Germany as an example. The German fans got soooo much last year with respect to releases, concerts, TV appearances. Just most of it happened at the beginning of the year and as the year came to its end many of them starting moaning, complaining how they barely got to see TH in 2007 when taking a closer look and adding up things they got a lot... just not recently. And yes, I also think it's not very good that TH seem to miss all major German awards shows this year but there's nothing we can do about it. Fans (and that goes for all of them, no matter what country they're from) tend to feel neglected as soon as they don't receive full attention and are left to only watch what others get. Who can blame them? *lol* We all would love to have TH to ourselves when on the other hand we want them to get as big as possible worldwide. What I don't like and not even understand is how some fans can turn really nasty towards the band and I've read some comments on the internet that made me feel sad because the guys don't deserve fans that turn rude just because they feel neglected. I adore the UK fans because most of us are really patient and try to stay up-beat about everything. It's not easy but we'll do our best to support the band everywhere. In the end we also hope for support from other fans when it comes to the UK. Ha ha, let's not forget that there were also loads of American fans involved when the Kerrang! server crashed for the Readers Poll. ;D So yeah, e.g. I vote for RSG on MTV TRL. The band will be on TRL in the US soon and it will be awesome for them to do good on the show until then. Also, just remembering how thrilled they looked after the last American concerts went down so well, makes me happy, too. I'm sure those new American shows will be just as much fun if not even better.
