Pocher: now, a band who's already through it all, cause they've been number one in germany for weeks with their single, the album is number two and i think after their performance tonight it could go number one. i'd like to present Tokio Hotel the way the record company originally did (reads the text): "their songs arouse. everything we've heard so far seems to be a blurry thing of the past. their music causes a tremor and it just happens: you can't evade the power and the striking charisma of this band. nowadays that a lot of young bands, trying to say something, use meaningless phrases, Tokio Hotel present their own unique sound. intelligent, moving lyrics, energetic, modern rock music and a great charisma. their songs are amongst the most exciting german-speaking productions of these days, next to Jeanette Biedermann. (he added that. some people don't like her and say she's not a serious singer, so he didn't mean that, that's why everyone laughs) it's about time to introduce Tokio Hotel to a bigger audience." ladies and gentlemen... Tokio Hotel!



Pocher: nice to have you here. currently there's no teen magazine without you on the cover. what is this like?

Tom & Georg: it's pathetic.

Pocher: why?

Tom: it's evidence of incapacity. (i have no idea why he says that)

Pocher: well, it's either you or US5.

Bill: exactly.

Pocher: you know that song, Maria... (sings it *lol*)

Tom: awesome rock song i say.

Pocher: kick-ass!

Georg: you're doing it quite well.

Pocher: finally a band that hasn't been casted.

Tokio Hotel "agree"

Pocher: do you like them?

Bill kind of says yes. (i don't know if he meant that or if he didn't dare to say no)

Pocher: feel free to say they're crap.

Tom: we don't really like casted bands.

Pocher: ok, let's talk about nu pagadi. they were casted and bang, nine months later they didn't exist anymore. how long have YOU been together? 4, 5 years?

all: 5 years.

Pocher: so you were only just... (to Georg) you're the only one who's of legal age, you're 18, right? you two are 16 and (to Gustav) you're 17?

Gustav: correct.

Pocher: the newspapers give you nicknames, for example: Gustav, the smart thinker, Tom, the crazy freak, Bill, the cool rebel, who secretly had the band's logo tattooed on his neck when he was 14. that's pretty clever to do that "secretly" on the neck (being sarcastic of course)... and Georg is the quiet checker.

Tom: yeah, but they mixed up mine and Georg's. actually, i'm the quiet checker.

Pocher: you're also the one who's said to have had sex with 25 women, right?

Tom: you're really fast, i must say. (it had only just been in the newspaper)

Pocher: well, i always read the "Bild-Zeitung" in the morning and i was like "oops, the young man...25...knick knack." but it's not true, is it?

Tom: huh?

Pocher: or don't you wanna talk about it?

Tom: well, i'm open. but i have to be honest, i'm really surprised cause you're the first person who talks to me about this.

Pocher: really? but that's what it said in the newspaper. i see, are you telling me that the "Bild-Zeitung" doesn't always tell the truth?

Tom: YOU said that. i have to say i didn't count so i can't really tell. it could be more than that or less. i don't know.

Pocher: oooh...! i see. 25 and you didn't count. oh well, one stops counting at some point, right? but don't count every time (sex) as a new woman, alright?

Tom: of course not.

Pocher: well, when i put away the "Bild-Zeitung" i watched "RTL Punkt 12" (newscast), that's the film version of the "Bild-Zeitung", and there you used that cool expression "Drinnis" and "Draussis". what exactly is that again? you're "Drinnis", right?

Bill: yeah, we're "Drinnis". well, we hate the countryside and villages even though we actually live there. untouched nature in germany, for example, is totally not our thing. like camping and stuff...

Tom: yeah, don't you know that feeling of damp clothes...

Pocher (interrupts Tom): well, i...

Tom: what?

Pocher: no need telling me that, i've never been to Dubai with a tent. ;o) no, seriously, i don't like it either. so, you're always just indoors?

Bill: no, not necessarily. but mainly just in cities and not on the countryside.

Pocher: untouched nature, crap.

Bill & Tom: yeah.

Tom: well, there are nice pretty islands, too, but...

Pocher: but crap, to hell with them...

Bill & Tom: yeah... no! not the islands! but the forests and stuff...

Pocher: tsunami... i mean, sorry, but they're gone now...

well, great... it's going rather well, you're number one, and you will now play live here for us. you're the first band that performs live in this show. and i personally am a very tough rocker and...

Tom: yeah, i can tell... (points at Pocher's pants)

Georg: cut your pants open behind the stage...

Tom: yeah, you put on your rock pants today... crazy crazy...

Pocher: well, that happened when i begged Pro 7 on my knees to give me my own show. i will perform with you now, but not as myself... i think Marc Terenzi is someone who's a true rocker...

Bill: that's true. it's nice to be on stage with such people. he's influenced the rock music business for years. so he's a serious artist...

Pocher: yeah, sure. i'd love to make this possible for you. this way Tokio Hotel and Marc Terenzi would be performing together in a moment...

Bill & Tom: that would be cool.

Pocher: yeah, and you'll see what that looks like after the commercials. Marc Terenzi feat. Tokio Hotel, here in Rent a Pocher. stay tuned!
