Translation by Artax @ THA:

Poor Stalkers...

We are the real victims. That's what the girls who have been following the band TH for months claim in all seriousness. Why the stalker-gang becomes more and more impudent, and how TH wants to defends themselves now: Fiona Nickel reports.

In Hamburg, the TH stalkers present themselves for the first time nearly unveiled for an interview. And obviously, they enjoy the publicity. Although they have been pestering the band for half a year already, they actually feel misunderstood and unjustly condemned.

Noemai C.: I personally don't think we're extreme. There are the fans that make crazy stuff, and we never did.
Perrine: We aren't stalkers at all.

TH certainly see that differently. Now they want to sue the hardcore fans and obtain a restraining order. The girls shall not be allowed to approach the band members, nor their families.

On the other hand, the girls demand from Tom after the fuel station brawl:

Noemai: Apologize, yeah?!
P: Yeah.
N: First, which he didn't...

He has not done that so far. And he most likely won't. And that's why the girls themselves want to obtain a restraining order - against Tom Kaulitz.

N: I can understand that he maybe is angry and didn't like it very much - but he became violent. A boy, hitting a girl on the floor. No, I cannot understand that.

Just now, this video came out, where the girls obviously harass Tom's and Bill's mother... "She attacked us!", claims the gang now. Obivously, they don't plan to go anywhere. It really seems as if the nightmare will continue for a quite a while for TH.

Since a long time now the teeniestars are getting
stalked by a group of persistent female "fans"
they call themselves, The afghans on tour.
the are mostly masked and have a really not loving art in which they show their
affection.
Spiegel TV succeeded in tracking the girls down
and to talk with them.
in inside look at a bizar way of adoration.
Sandra Hardinghaus and Alexandra ringeling with the details.

Last Friday in Hamburg.
scenes from a promi-hunt.

"they were just here, they were parked back there. they are no longer there.
they are gone,I am sure they heard us running".

The search for a white SUV, proabably driven by Tom Kaulitz, Guitarplayer in the band Tokio Hotel.

the most populair band in deutschland, who are conquering europe as well as the international music charts,
and the hearts of numerous girls.
mostly fans want to just be close to their idols.

on a dvd the boys talk thoughtfully about so much fanlove.
Tom: it is pretty special, we have to say.
it does not mather where we are,if it is a boring meeting or gala, or one of our concerts,
they are always there.
it is pretty hard to go out on the street privately.
when we do that, we are always dressed up.
i hide my hair and wear a hoodie, I am not giving away too much info.
cause they will recognize me anyways.

these 5 french are the most radical fans.
their goal: the continuous observation of the musicians.

P: what is so special in the Tokio Hotel world is that the fans want to see them all the time.
the more you see them, the happier you are.
it is like a contest, to see them as often as possible.
many fans count how many times they succeed.

To follow the band unrecognized, they wear vails to hide their identities.
on the internet they call themselves, the afghans on tour.
instead of fanlove they promise to make the musicians lives a nightmare and
wild pursuits on the highway.
"drive faster, drive faster, is that him?
yes, that is him, hang onto him, he is coming, he is coming".

and yes, it is indeed him, Tom kaulitz, this time in his black SUV.
also a fight with The guitarists mother is filmed with a handy camera.

Simone: right ,right, leave, go away.
stalkers: call, call, we call the police, you are crazy, call the police.

the peak in the hunting scene came this week at a Hamburger Gasstation.
annoyed by too much persistent fanlove, tom supposedly threw a burning sigaret at
one of the girls.
The french girl reacts immediately:
the presses the sigaret out against the window of toms car.
the situation escalates.

P: He came to me and hit me with his fist in my face.
I fell on the ground and then he hit me again with his fist.

The girlgang hits back.
they press charges against him for bodily harm.
a lawyer gets hired.

Can you tell me what happened that night at the gasstation?
what injuries do you have, through this beating?

P: I have uhm..im my eye and I didnt hear anything anymore.
there was buzzing in my ear all the time.
and I have backpains.

For Tokio Hotel the punch is a big accident.
eventhough the french girls had already announced the escalation.
"the next week will be a small nightmare.
warning warning, we are not satisfied.
we are getting impatient, do you understand us"?

an out of court settlement is not about to happen.
and also the Tokio Hotel carreer stops.

The consequences for Tokio Hotel is that they have moved around a lot lately.
to get their rest from the girls.
they should have been in Los Angeles already to finish up their new album.
that didnt happen.
They have said they could not leave germany under these circumstances.
we don't want to leave our mother alone.
we want to protect her and be with her
they fear for their mothers safety who is also getting treatened by these girls and
that is a serious matter for the boys.

The management of the band is going to press charges against the girls for stalking.

some of the fangroup have already left the group.
Katherine and Melanie think that the things that have happened lately have gone too far.

K: they have noticed the band gets scared when they wear their scarfs and can't get recognized.
it amuses the girls.
they even bought white masks that remind you of killers from the USA.
they have started to wear the masks at their pursuits.
they saw it scares them and that delights them.

friday they turned down an offer the management made them.
the condition was to leave the band alone.
that is something the girls won't even consider.
