TRANSCRIPT, PART 1 Georg: Let's invite him. Hello, Italy. Hello everyone. Who's here from Discord? I invited Bill… I invite… hmm. I don't see the rest of the guys. We have to wait for them. I think Tom just said he's gonna grab another coffee and then he'll be right here with us. How was your work? Where's Gustav and everyone? Jesus. Bill, are you here? Could you send something in the chat? Gustav… there is Gustav. Let's invite Gustav. So Gustav… *_*Gustav appears*_* G: Nice. Good morning honey. *_*Georg and Gustav chat in German*_* G: Oh, Jesus. Bill's not able to join Discord. Gustav (GS): TikTok, you mean. G: TikTok, yeah, you're right. TikTok. Let me see. Bill needs to do an update, he'll be right back. So, how was your week, honey? GS: Ummmm… yeah, nobody's believing me, I was just making wood from Monday to Friday. G: Jesus. Are there any trees left in Magdeburg? GS: Actually I ordered them from another part of Germany, so. Bill: OH, JESUS. HI. G: Honey… B: Sorry, my app, it didn't- I had to update the app because it wouldn't- GS: Crazy. B: Because it wouldn't go live, I'm telling you. GS: I'm telling you! G: Welcome to the G party. B: Good morning, sweeties. Happy release day. GS: Happy release day! B: How are we going to celebrate? Hi to everyone that's watching. Is Tom here yet? GS: I'm just having a glass of Coke. G: I invited him, yeah, he should be with us any second. B: You're just drinking a Coca Cola like you always do? GS: Yeah, of course, I mean, we're on TikTok. B: How am I gonna celebrate? I only have water here. That's a little sad. GS: Start drinking in the morning, as always. B: I feel like that's the way. GS: Yeah. G: There's a new way to do Lives on TikTok where everybody has the same size of the screen, but I don't know how that works. GS: Maybe you have to update your TikTok for that. B: I just updated mine and now it looks a little different. It took a while, though. Hi, everyone. We're so happy that- G, reading a comment: "Much love from South Africa." Oh, South Africa! I will spend my winter in South Africa. GS: Oh, nice. B: We're so happy that you all love the song so much, and thank you for all the nice feedback. I read so many comments this morning and I got so many messages that everyone's loving the song. Exciting! G: So I invited weddingcakeofficial but I'll invite you again, Tom. B: OK, guys, if you have any questions about the song or the upcoming album, we're gonna chat a little bit with you guys to celebrate the release. You should all get a nice glass of champagne or rosé or whatever you like to drink. And I should actually get one too. G: Wait a second, I just read somebody joined… B, reading a comment: "Gustav, du bist so… hot." GS: Ja, ich bin so heiß. B: Somebody is asking "When are the boxes getting shipped?" I think most of the boxes are getting shipped on the release day, but I think some of the boxes are gonna arrive a little sooner. Sometimes Amazon is shipping out some orders a little sooner, so I think even before the actual release, some people are gonna have the boxes in their house. G: Is our idea working out now? Did we ever get the confirmation that we are delivering some of those? B: Oh, good question, I don't know. Yeah, because we had the idea that we personally want to deliver some of the boxes to you guys' house. If some people are thinking now, "What are they talking about?," we have a fan box that's super limited, and we just recently went to Bielefeld, to the factory, and we signed every single box. They are super limited and they have a golden ticket inside of them, and if you're the lucky one that gets picked-one person's gonna get picked-you're gonna get a living room concert, so we are gonna come to your house, bring our instruments, play a nice little show. We'll hang out with you guys, have a drink with you. GS: But I have a question. B: Yeah? *_*Tom appears*_* GS: Now, finally, oh, Jesus. When there's coming out a special edition of a favorite band-and you know Tokio Hotel is one of my favorite bands-if I get the ticket, are we gonna play in my house? No. B: Yeah, if you get the ticket, Gustav, we're just gonna… GS: That would be so nice. T: If you get the ticket then we finally get to see your house because we- B: We finally get to see your house. T: We never got invited to your house, so that would be- B: We'd have the huge honor. GS: Sorry, but that's a lie. Georg, you know. B: We'd have the huge honor that we're gonna come over, we ate from your plate, we drink from your- GS: I ordered the box myself, so I might be the lucky one. Or Georg. G: Maybe. GS: I mean, the chance Georg wins is much higher, because he ordered how many? Twenty? *_*Georg and Gustav laugh*_* B: Guys, by the way, on Tokio Hotel dot com, it says, I think, it's sold out. Right, Georg? G: Yeah, it says on the Tokio Hotel shop it's sold out, but it's only sold out there. B: So you can head over to Amazon. G: On _Amaz'n,_ or if you're from France, you can order it on- B: The one thing is, I don't know if they have it on _Amaz'n,_ I think they only have it on Amazon, so… G: Yeah, maybe they have it on _Amazön._ B: And I think there's also a few stores that have it, but anyway, you guys head over to our profile and just click on the link and then it's gonna show you where you can still get the box. G: The link is also still on the Tokio Hotel shop. *_*Tom disappears*_* B: What happened with Tom? G: I don't know. T: I'm here. G: No, but your video's gone. *_*Tom reappears*_* G: Oh. *_*Tom disappears*_* G: Now it's gone. B: That's so weird. T: Sorry. *_*Tom reappears and then disappears; Bill and Georg laugh*_* B: OK, anyway. *_*Bill reads a question in German asking if they'll do summer camp again; Tom reappears using a filter; Georg laughs; Bill answers the question in German; Tom changes the filter to a beach filter*_* T, in German: I'm on the beach! *_*Bill reads a comment saying hi to him in German, and he says hi back*_* G: Oh, that's a good question. So, update from the show in Magdeburg, because somebody asked "Are you still planning a concert in Magdeburg?" There's no good venue. There is no venue available which would fit. Actually, there is one venue, and I don't think we should play there. T: Yeah, that's not good. The venue where we wanted to play, when is it finished? G: 2024. B: Maybe they just have to build a venue for us. I think that would be appropriate. Like if we're coming, they should maybe just have a brand new building. T: Outdoor would be fun at this time too, no? G: Outdoor would be really fun, but it could be really cold and rainy. T: In May? G: Mmhm. T: Hm. G: Hmm. Yeah, it's sad. I would really love to go- B: Someone is asking, "Guys, I have a question about the polaroid camera. The winner will be the one who makes the most TikToks, or the one who makes the best TikToks?" Georg? G: I think the best. I think you need to do at least 10 or something, and then who did the best 10 TikToks will win. B: How do I get rid of… oh my God. G: Where do you get all those screen things with like, face filters? T, using a visor filter: I have no filter on. G: Mmhm.

TRANSCRIPT, PART 2 B: Someone is asking "Favorite song of the album, which one and why?" Right now, of course, I'm excited about _Happy People,_ I feel like that's the lead single of the album. I love that song, and I love Daði on it, but also, I think for me… I can't even explain why, it's just a feeling, I love Runaway. For me, that's like… T: I'm so excited for the album to come out. Now it already feels [like] a long time that we've had it finished and no one's listening, you know? No one can hear it. *_*Gustav disappears*_* T: Oh, Gustav's gone. He tried to put a filter on and he just clicked the wrong… B: For me it is _Runaway_ because I feel like it's a song about freedom and breaking out and it just got me really emotional. It's one of the songs where I think it has the strongest vocal melodies and it's so much fun to sing too. I loved recording this one and I'm going to love to play this one live, so that's my favorite song. G: My favorite is _HIM._ T: I love _HIM_ too. _HIM_ is a great song. My favorite is the last one on the album, _Back to the Ocean._ Beautiful production. G: Oh, by the way, guys, we got a package. We got the Kraftklub fan box in our office, but it's only one. B: They only sent us one? G: We should maybe say thank you, or I can do a video or something. I forgot. T: Thank you! G: Thank you, Kraftklub. B: Someone was asking, "How did that collaboration come together with Kraftklub?" To be honest, we just emailed each other. I think Felix reached out to Tom and I, and then he sent an email, and he just sent us the song and he said "I think Bill would sound super cool on it." We'd never met in person, and we just emailed. And then we met in the studio in Berlin, and the rest is history. T: The rest is history. It turned out amazing. I love that song. B: I know, I love it too. It was so fun to play it live with them. I was so nervous, it was my first time in over 20 years that I… I mean, the first time ever that I was on the stage without the other guys and with a different band. It felt so weird but it was super crazy and fun. G: I mean, it's like, I don't know if it's a bad omen, but we started without Tom, now you're playing without the rest. What's next, Bill? B: I know, I feel like everything's leaning towards a solo career. G: Mmhm. B, laughing: I'm slowly getting rid of you guys. One by one. G: Feels like there's a plan behind that. *_*Gustav reappears*_* T: For me it's like- can you guys still hear me? G: We hear you, yeah. B: Yeah. Tom, someone was asking what was the first song we finished for the album? That's a good question. T: First song… the singles, obviously. B: And I think _Durch den Monsun._ T: So _Durch den Monsun_ was the first one that was finished for the album. B: But then also- T: We decided later. B: I think the oldest track on the album, the one that we finished and it was like, also meant for the other album and we kind of kept it was _Hungover You,_ right? G: Yeah, that's the song we played on the listening session back in, what, 2017? T: Yeah, _Hungover You. Berlin_ we played on the listening session as well. Is there another song? _Another Lover_ we played in the listening session. B: Oh, _Another Lover,_ yeah. "Big hug from Poland." *_*Georg and Gustav talk in German*_* B: Someone's asking how long did we work on the album? I feel like the album was just a process over the last four to five years, really. Because we were just writing so many songs and we were back in the studio and then in between, we were done with an album and then we thought oh, we have it. But then we had such a good run in the studio that we thought, oh, no, let's keep on doing this. So we added more songs and then some of the old songs we didn't like anymore, so it was an ongoing process. I feel like, yeah, the last… T: Is there any more boxes, by the way, available on Amazon? Because size large is still sold out on Amazon. G: I think there should be some boxes left on Amazon, yeah. T: Because when I go on Amazon and I check for large, because I just wanted to share it, because a friend asked me, oh, do you release an album, and I'm like "Yeah, here." And large wasn't available. G: I have no idea. GS: I have to check this. Let me write an email and then we'll have information. *_*Bill reads a comment in German*_* B: The reason why we don't speak in German is that everyone understands, we have a lot of people from other countries that are watching, and that's why. You know, guys, we just want to… so we can include everyone. And to some people that don't understand English, I think it's time to learn. T: Don't be so arrogant, though. B: No, but I think, you know? Everyone can understand and should speak some English. T: I have to say, our English is very simple here. G: Yeah, simple English for sure. Somebody just asked if our new song is available on KZbin. Yeah! On our official KZbin, you can listen to _Happy People,_ but you can listen to it everywhere. Go ahead and check it out. T: What do you guys think is the most favorite song so far? Do you guys think it's _Happy People?_ G: For the fans, you mean? T: Yeah. B: I mean, you guys let us know. Put in the comments what's your favorite single from this Tokio Hotel era? Is it _HIM,_ is it _Durch den Monsun_ (the new version), is it _Bad Love,_ is it _Here Comes the Night?_ T: I see a lot of _HIM._ B: Is it _Happy People? When We Were Younger?_ T: Someone's saying _Stormy Weather. Stormy Weather_ was on a different record. B: _Stormy Weather_ is like, seven years ago. T: I love _Stormy Weather. Stormy Weather_ is a song that was ahead of its time. That could be a smash hit right now. _HIM, HIM, HIM, 1000 Meere… 1000 Meere_ was a different album, too. G: _1000 Meere_ is gonna be on the next record again. B: I mean, for me, _1000 Meere_ had the best music video, you know? T: I think we should play _1000 Meere_ on the next tour. G: Yeah, let's do it. *_*Tom and Georg laugh*_* GS: But then we all can play _Beichte._ T: Yeah, _Beichte_ and _1000 Meere,_ I think we should play. GS: And _Lass Uns Hier Raus._ B: Guys, yeah, also, we're going on tour! Put in some recommendations. What do you need to have on the set list? Because we have six albums now. We have so many songs to pick from. So you guys let us know what's the one song that you need to hear on the upcoming tour. _Ich Bin Nich' Ich?_ *_*Bill laughs*_* T: _Rette Mich?_ B, reading a question: "Will it be a two-hour show?" I mean, it's gonna be a longer show. I don't know if it's gonna be two hours, but. T: No, I think two hours is too long. Who wants to see a band for two hours? B: By the way, guys, if you wanted to get a ticket for Berlin and you can't get a ticket anymore, you can come to another city that's close by. It's worth the trip, I'm telling you that. G: Yes. B, in German: Leipzig isn't so far from Berlin, right? G, in English: No, Leipzig is like, one and a half hours, maximum. T: Yeah, if you drive like me, it's 45 minutes. If you drive like Georg, then it's maybe two and a half hours. *_*Bill and Georg talk in German about how the Hamburg show will be in a new, bigger venue*_* T, reading a comment: "Return to Brazil." We would love to. G: Oh, I really want to go back there. T: I would love to.

TRANSCRIPT, PART 3 B: Someone is asking, "Did you do everything yourselves on the album?" We met with a few friends and songwriters and producers. We met with Rock Mafia. We hadn't seen or worked with them in such a long time and then we were so happy to work together. And Emma Rosen [VVAVES] is on the record, and ÁSDÍS is on the record. Oh, did I just spoil- no, no, no, you guys know that already. Yeah, she's on a song, it's called _Smells Like Summer,_ which is such a cool track as well. T: I don't know if people know. Do people know that? B: Yeah, because it's on the track list. G: I think it's on the track listing. They should know. T: Oh, we did include it? OK. I wasn't sure. B: Tom produced a lot of the songs, but we also opened the door and collaborated with some people that we really appreciated, that we love. So it's a really mixed record. Also I feel like the songs are so different. I feel like it's just our favorite songs from the last four years of songwriting. T: Yeah. It's an amazing album. I'm very proud of it. We haven't released an album in, what, four years? G: Five. T: It was worth the wait, I can tell you that. G: I'm not sure about that. Five years of wait? It could have been three. T: But the good news is, now there's only another five years until the next album is coming out. B: Yeah, actually, Georg, a lot of people- Tom and I just had an interview, and they said everyone's so disappointed we are not playing in Austria. G: Yeah, I'm disappointed too. B: I'm disappointed too. I would love to play in Vienna. G: Yeah, maybe we go there for a festival, then. Guys, if you missed- this is only the first part of the tour. Maybe we're gonna add some festivals, maybe we're gonna add another leg of the tour in different countries. B: Guys, we have five more minutes, so put all your questions, everything you always wanted to know in the comments. And again, thank you so much for streaming and listening to _Happy People._ Oh, and by the way, keep the _Happy People_ Challenge alive. I want to see more videos. I want to see more dance videos. I feel like so many people are so shy about it. It doesn't matter. I mean, look at Tom and Georg. They f****d it up bigtime. G: Gustav, where's your video? GS: What?! B: Yeah, Gustav. It's so easy, I can teach you. GS: Reaching you on the phone, reaching you via FaceTime is like, impossible. B: Someone's saying "I'm so shy." You know what, guys? It's the perfect time. It's almost Halloween. You can put on a costume, put on a wig, whatever you want. And then just do it in costume. That would be fun, too. G: True. Tom, I just added you, I don't know how- B, singing: Where is Tom, he is gone. *_*Tom reappears*_* T: I'm back! B: Someone is asking when my book is coming out in English. I think next year sometime. I don't have a date. Jesus, what is going on with Tom's phone? G: I have no idea what he's doing. B: I think sometime next year it's gonna come out. I don't have a date yet, to be honest, so I don't want to promise anything, but I think it's- it will be next year, sometime. G: We really need to learn how the new TikTok Live works where everybody has the same size of the screen. I think everybody needs to go live, then. With their own account. T: And then you can kind of like connect it? G: Yes. T: Hmm. G: And you can also do challenges against each other. T: Because I'm usually the social media expert, so… B: Someone is asking if we saw _Dahmer_ on Netflix. Have you guys seen- have you seen it, Georg? Jeffrey Dahmer? G: No. B: I mean, to be honest, guys, I love- you all know I love true crime stuff, but it was so dark that I didn't finish it. I started watching it- G: Really? B: It's just tough to get through, and knowing that this is a real story and that he actually did all the- I mean, it's a real story, and there's also a documentary out about it, and it's hard to watch. It's really hard to watch. It's hard to take in. It just pulls you in such a dark place that… I have such nightmares already, I was like, I don't know if I can finish that show. G: I can't watch those. B: But, I mean, it's made so well. It's such a good show. Yeah, but a lot of people are saying it's too much. I heard from a lot of people that said "I just can't get through it." T: I don't watch dark stuff like that. B: I didn't watch _The Watcher_ yet. I've heard it's good, I wanna start this one. G: The last thing I watched was, Jesus, what is it? _See_ on Apple TV. T: It was boring, no? Was that good? G: I loved the first season. I really loved it. B: All right, one more, guys, and then we've gotta head out. "What can we expect from the new MDLA collection?" It's just gonna be a whole new brand, so it's not gonna be streetwear anymore. I don't want to give away too much, but it's not gonna be a streetwear label, it's gonna be so different. Whole new vibe. I'm relaunching and reinventing the whole thing. So it's gonna be a whole new brand, but I'm sure if you guys love fashion, I think you're gonna love this one. T: Very excited for that. And thanks for streaming and supporting _Happy People._ I'm excited for the album, guys. And in November, we're gonna have a couple of performances. B: Yup, we do. We're gonna play _Happy People_ live on German TV. I don't think we're allowed to share where, but it's gonna be fun because we're doing it together with Daði. There's a lot of stuff happening in November, and we're also gonna be together to celebrate our album release. T: Exactly. That's gonna be fun. G: That's gonna be a fun night. B: Happy release day. Everyone get a nice glass of whatever you like and cheers to _Happy People._ T: And stream the song away, just put it on repeat. That's what I'm gonna do. Happy weekend! G: Thank you for your support, guys. B: Happy weekend, guys. G: Happy Friday. *_*They all say "Bye" in German*_*
