- Hear that? Nothing. Complete silence.
*scream*
- Can you hear me? That's what it sounds like 24 hours later.

At the Bravo Super Show, you have to get in line. But this time not only the fans, but also the stars. So many have come that there's a traffic jam on the red carpet. There are so many celebrities; in order to keep track, we need a celebrity ourselves. Moderator Steven G grabs the Pro7 microphone and gets himself an all-area-pass with direct access to the stars. At more than 30°C, the remaining five top models are the first to walk the red carpet.
Anni: I think it's really sweet... Some are, like: ANNI!!! Nearly as with Tokio Hotel....

Sorry, Anni. We don't want to be cheapskates - but with TH it sounds more like this: *scream*

Steven: Psssht... Just quickly... Whom are you waiting for?
Girls: TOKIO HOTEL!!!

To top it: That was 5 hours before the boys even had arrived in Düsseldorf.

St: Look at that: "You are porn".
St: A love message to TH. Let me get it out... here: "Bill I love you. We have so much in common. I only want to talk to you once. Yours, Maria. Call me sometimes: 087817... and I won't read the rest."

Backstage, Steven G gets what all the girls can only dream of: A meeting with TH.

St: You bring your fans to skip school, to write stuff on signs that make me blush - what kind of a feeling is that, in that moment?
T: It's great, of course. We've already said: The red carpet was crazy today. It felt like 40°C out there, and still they screamed for so long... that's really unbelievable.

But the long wait for the BSS has paid off: Moderator Gülcan leads throw the three hour mega show where the Golden Ottos are handed out. Already beforehand, on the red carpet, it's a battle about who has the most fans, the best show, and who is sexier.

- What's up, why are you crying?
Girl: Because we love Bushido so much...
Bu: Awww. But don't cry. Why cry?
Girl: Because right then, you'll be gone again...
Bu: But we'll see each other again afterwards?!

St: Bushido... Your opinion?
Oliver Pocher: So even Bushido has become a boy group by now?!
St: One. A group of one...
OP: I'll just say: When Bushido gets his Hautschul-diploma [lowest possible school qualification in Germany], when he does that, and makes an apprenticeship as car painter - then he'll have enough on his hands for the next 2-3 years. Then there's really no need for him to make music any more.

Sarah Connor... [left out]

...Lexington Bridge and Sunrise Avenue are such newcomers. But TH is clearly on top right now.

St: Do you see yourself also as a sex symbol?
B: No. I mean, I always can't imagine that... when they're standing out there and are throwing things on stage... of course, it makes me happy, but I would never have imagined that somebody would do that for me.

23.04.07 Fun TV - Frankreich Spezial (with T) X






Part 1 & 2 translated, the other part will come soon.
It's only the interview which is translated.
Translated by AlixDisney on THA

Part 1

Hi, I’m Gustav and I’m the drummer.
I’m Tom, I’m the guitarist.
I’m Georg, I’m the bass player.
I’m Bill, I’m the singer, and together we are the band Tokio Hotel.

Bill: I have never imagined to do anything different than music. I started so early, when I was 6. I understood that I love singing very much and I started to write some lyrics, which were really bad at that time. But I already knew that I wanted to make a living out of that. My very first contact with music was the german singer Nena, whom I saw in TV. I saw this concert and it was brilliant, and I wished to do the same. I definitely wanted to be on the stage, in front of lots of people.

Tom: Bill and I started do make music together. Our stepfather was a guitarist in a small rockband, and one day I found an electric guitar in my room. It was a gift from him. I found it so cool, I started to play some chords, and we then we immediately began to write our first songs.
When we’ve got three, we started do play them on stage in some small clubs, and that is where everything began. I grew up surrounded by music, since my very young age.

Gustav: My parents listened to Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, Genesis. And when I was really young I started to play drums with my hands on the table, so my parents sent me to a music school, and that’s how I learnt to play the drums.

Georg: I had 2 schoolmates, a guitarist and a drummer, who asked me if I felt like learning to play the bass to complete the band. So I learnt to play the bass in a music school, but I didn’t feel like joining the band anymore, so I just stayed on my own. Later I met Gustav, and later on we got to know Bill and Tom.

Bill: No, I don’t play any instrument.

Tom: Yeah, the triangle!

Bill: No, sadly I can’t play any instrument. I’d love to, cause it would be easier to make music while playing an instrument. I tried to play many instrument but I’m really one who cannot wait. If I couldn’t handle it properly after one day, then I stopped. I’d love to learn how to play the piano, but I don’t have any time now.

Green Day is one of the boys’ favourite groups. They used to listen to this song in 2005, when it was released.

Bill: Actually, we don’t have any concrete musical influence, because we’ve always made and played our own music, since the very beginning. We never drew on anything, cause it was too easy to just copy something that was already there. We’ve always wanted to follow our own mind, and that’s what we’ve been doing since it all started.

Bill: When I saw Nena on stage, I realized that I was definitely born for that, that it was my future. We started when we were really young with our own music, so we practically didn’t live with the others’ music. We listen to completely different kinds of music, Tom for instance loves german hip hop

Tom: Yeah that’s true, but I used to love some guitar bands like the Aerosmith. Oh, I used to be a super fan. I bought all of their albums, I listened to them, and now I listen to a lot of german hip hop, which clearly has nothing to do with guitars.

Georg: I’m really into Oasis.

Gustav: But since I heard “Nothing else matters” from Metallica, I bought their “Black” album, and from then on I bought all of them. I’m a huge fan.

Part 2

Georg: At the beginning our name was Devilish. We didn’t really think a lot about it, cause we needed to find a name quickly. There was a short article about us on a local newspaper, and it said our guitar sound was devilishly good. We thought that “devilish” didn’t sound cool at all in german, so we translated t into English – that’s how the name Devilish is born.

Tom: We were 12 at that time, so we didn’t really think it over.
We didn’t like the name Devilish anymore. We had started to make music more seriously, recording a cd in a studio and becoming more professional. We said, ok we need to turn the page and look for a new name. We thought about something which mirrored us in the best way, and we came up with Tokio Hotel.
TOKIO sounds pretty well, it’s cool, as we all love big cities, it’s something we all have in common. And then HOTEL, it’s a symbol, as we all hoped that hotels would turn out to be part of our adventure, that we’d sleep in hotels often. So it was kind of a symbol, and that’s where the name Tokio Hotel comes from.

Bill: Some songs recur regularly in our concerts – Especially one, which is part of the set list from the very beginning. And I Think that this evening it’s just perfect, here in Oberhausen. Leb’ die Sekunde!

In summer 2006, the band leaves for a tournée in Germany and plays in front of more than 75000 people.

Bill: We met Peter Hoffman in a small club where we used to play, in Magdeburg. Same place where Tom and I met Gustav and Georg. It was a club where we used to play regularly. Peter Hoffman was there to visit his family, and he decided to go out in that night, just to have a beer and listen to some music. And that night he saw us, and he invited us to go to his studio, in Hamburg. We were so excited, cause it was the very first time we were invited to go to somebody’s studio like that. We screamed and we started to work together. It took pretty long, 2 years almost. Finally, when the album was ready, we said, well, it would be good if someone else listened to what we’ve been doing. We ended up at Universal, but it was not produced like that. We got at the studio, but we had no purpose of producing an album. Then it was released and everything just ran on so quickly after that.

Bill: I think I can speak for all of us, except Georg. We never loved school very much. OFC it’s very important to go through all of your studies (I can't get the last sentence =/)

Tom: But dream school would be a school of girls, where I’d be the only boy. The girls would wear very small, nice uniforms. So it wouldn’t be bad. It’d be important to have young pedagogue teachers, who know what they’re doing, and a kind of school which can suit each individual.

Bill: and they shouln’t be too big. Ours held almost 2000 students, way too many.

Bill: I was 13 when I went to Star Search, It all began with a bet I made with Tom. Obvioulsy it was something about girls. The one who succeded in dating the girl would have won. Tom won so I was the loser. The commercial was on tv very often and the loser had to enter for it.
I was a loser in the competition but I’ve gone pretty far, even if it was a show which had nothing to do with me, my purpose was to go pretty far and to do something with the band. I thought that doing that, I could be discovered and reach a goal for the band. It was awful, cause the song was not my style at all, I didn’t feel like it and I felt really bad. But I nevertheless wanted to do it, because somebody might have seen us. It did not happen in the end, but we were noticed just a bit later in a small club.

Tom: I’m really really happy not to have lost that bet, cause it would have been a huge catastrophe for me! I cant sing at all, I would have tried to dance or something, but it would have been even more awful.

3rd part:

Bill: In Germany we made ourselves known with Durch den Monsun. Releasing it as our fisrt single was our a natural choice. It’s a song that we really loved, with a nice melody. It was not a studied decision. No one was expecting it to work so well and be at #1 in Germany for so much time, neither the record company nor the producers, not even us, it was completely unexpected.
The first single in France was Schrei, because it was one of our favourite songs. It’a an awesome song on stage, and it worked really well in France. You never get used to such a success. It’s weird to feel that, and to see what happens on stage, with no previous plans. We never said, “we have to release that single, and it’s gonna be a huge success.”

In 2005, the first album of the band, Schrei, was double platinum in Germany. It sold more than 600000 cds on the other side of the Rhine. Schrei is golden disc in France.

Bill: when we create a song, each one of has already has an idea of what he would like to show in the video. Then the realizers write a synopsis and come to us. We share all of our ideas cause we love to take an active part in it. We respect every idea, the realizers’ and ours. We choose the realizer that seems to suit better to what we have in our minds. About from Durch den Monsun – it was our first clip and we didn’t have any experience, we just looked how it worked.

Tom: We were sooo excited. It was something new for us and we were really nervous.

Bill: We were learning lots of things. I can’t watch that video anymore. We were so nervous, and that left its mark on us. At present, the more we make videos, the more we take part in their realization, the more we have ideas, and we know how it works, so it turns out to be cool.

Bill: We’re never lucky when it’s time to shoot. We find a bad situation every time – it rains or it’s cold or it’s windy... or it’s too hot. Yeah but, we can have fun anyway.

Tom: We have fun during all of the shoots, but the best one must have been Schrei, there were a lot of walk-ons, fans too… it looked like a real party. (can't get the last words)

In 2006, “Schrei live” dvd is platinum dvd
The dubut dvd, Leb die Sekunde, is golden dvd.

Bill: Actually, I’ve always made up when i went to school. Obviously we have to disguise a little bit now, when we’re just walking in the streets, not to be recognized. So of course I’m not made up at those times. But in everyday life it never happened to me that I didn’t feel like making up. It’s really a part of me. I can imagine an 80year old Bill full of wrinkles but still wearing makeup. Cause it’s really a part of me and I want to keep doing like this.
I’ve got 2 tattoos: one on my neck, which is the band logo. I had it done when I was 15. The second one is a star and it’s about 9 month since I had it done.

PART4

Bill: We worked on this last album (Zimmer483) in a very different way. When we got to the studio, it has nothing to do with the previous time. Obviously it is not easy for a band to produce a second album, cause you want to keep developing, you want people to feel the difference and see what has changed. So we decided not to put too much pressure on ourselves. WE said, we’ll go to the studio and see what comes out. We’ll record our stuff leisurely, with a completely different work pace. That’s why we didn’t claim any date for the album release. We told ourselves that when it was ready, it’d be released. And it was good to do so, in my opinion, cause we could work peacefully and follow our creative process as we wanted to. The first song, Wir Sterben Niemals Aus, was written in Spain. Last summer we left for our holidays – we wanted to combine vacation and songwriting. We hired a XXXX (wtf?! i can't get this one word ) which turned out to be completely dilapidated and crumbling – a real wreck. I think we didn’t have much vacation, we just worked. This XXX had the number 483, that’s why we named the album Zimmer 483.
In Ubers Ende Der Welt videoclip, we tried to stick to the lyrics as much as possible. The lyrics want to give hope to ppl and say: dare follow your path, dare change your lives, dare get into a new world. In the video we wanted to chow that you need to get out of the daily routine, and how to get out of it.

Tom: In the video you can see a futuristic city which is so grey and sad. And we play a double part. First, We are a band who plays for the ppl to try to wake them up and get them out of that stillness, so that they can dare do something else and escape all that. For the second role, we walk with the people of that city and we wear the same clothes. In the end we succeed in waking them up and bringing them out of their daily routine. They manage to climb walls and so on.

Bill: You’re gonna see. You’ll be surprised. It was a really hard work and we’re very proud of it. We shot 28 hours straight, so it was really exhausting but we’re so glad of the result.

Ready, Set, Go is the English version of Ubers Ende der Welt.
You can find it in Zimmer483
In 2007, the Zimmer483 album goes right to #2 in france.

Bill: I think I’ll never write any song in English. I love writing in German so much. There are going to be English songs in the albums, they’re going to be translated literally from german . We can handle english in a kinda scholastic way, but it’s not enough to manage alone. We hope to always have a nice interpreter who’s gonna help us translate everything properly.

Tom: In the end we realize that scholastic English is not very useful. Special dedication to my English teacher: thank you for everything you did! (laughs)Scholastic English is nothing… it’s not easy but we hope to get more fluent and be able to use it someday.

Monsoon is the English version of Durch den Monsun.
You can find it in the Zimmer483 album.

Bill: Very good. We all are very happy, but we're also a little bit sleepy. We like to sleep a lot but today we had to wake up very early. I hope all this fuss and emotions will wake us up.

Part III.

Michał: It's your first time in Poland. Tell us, why we had to wait so long?
Bill: We also regret. We wanted to come here much earlier, but we have very tidy schedule. But because of that we're now more happy that we can finally came here and we can personally meet our awesome Polish fans.
Michał: You're popular in Poland or not, what do you think?
Bill: I don't know, we'll see.
Tom: We'll see how many people will come to our concert. Our arrival has attracted a large response from the fans. We saw it on some websites. We're sure that we have fans here, but we can't say how many of them will be here tonight.
Michał: What do you think, how much you're popular here, from 0 to 10.
Bill: 5?
Michał: 5? No!
Georg: Maybe 6.
Michał: No. The correct... *tries to say something in German (;*... how to say it?
Bill: Answer?
Michał: Yes, answer! The correct answer is... 11!
Billl: haha, 11?
Michał: Yes! You're very popular here!
Bill: We're happy about that.
Michał: Now some proofes. Yesterday many fans were standing in front of our studio, cause they're thinking that you'll come to us. How it feels to be so important to other people?
Bill: Every one has his favourtie bands, which he loves. Even in my biggest dreams, I didn't expect that some day we'll be, as a band, so important to other people! I still can't belive that we have so devoted fans, who can wait for us for hours! We still can't believe.
-Reden live-
Michał: Ok, you have so devoted fans, that they spend a lot of time to do something like that for example. It's a special notebook for you.
Bill: Thanks.
Michał: We have here for examples photos... and here portrait of Tom!
Bill: Great!
Michał: Is he similar to real Tom?
Bill: Yes, he's very similar! Good job. We're really happy to see how much fans do for us and how much time the spend on it.
Michał: But it's not over. What is the craziest thing fans have ever done for you?
Bill: We have fans, who follow us.. We have fans, who are on almost every show. They are people who we regulary see on our concerts.
Michał: And the nicest thing?
Bill: For me the best thing is, when fans give to us something personal, like their own songs, music, poems. Everything what tell us something about this person.
Michał: Here in Poland you have really crazy fans. Of course in positive way. For example 4 girls recorded this album. Besides that, they look like you. It's a gift for you.
Bill: I must admit they look very similar to us.
Michał: They've also recorded 5 videoclips. I saw them and must admit they're awesome. I hope you'll like them too. Now tell me, do you answer fans mail?
Bill: Of course we have a lot of mails. We don't have so much time. You can't blame us that we don't answer, but we still try to answer as much as it's possible.
Michał: I totally understand your popularity in Germany, but I still can't understand why in Poland? I mean, a lot of people don't understand what you're singing about. You're not surprised?
Bill: We're totally surprised that fans from other countries know all the lyrics and sing them with us on concerts.
Michał: You're not afraid that your look can be more important than music?
Bill: I think both things are important. Appearance and music assert personality of band. Both things must get on well together. And people can like the result of it or not.

Part IV

-Reden live-
Michał: I heard that you want to record album in english.
Bill: yes. Album is already finished. Now we only correct some things.
Michał: Why did you decide to do it?
Bill: Like you said, it's very hard to understand German.
Michał: Oh yes, it's very, very hard.
Bill: And we want our fans to know what our songs are about. That's why we decided to make it easier.
Michał: I saw 'Scream' video and i really liked it. In which language you like to sing most - english or german?
Bill: Naturally in German. English is of course great. It's new experience for us.
Michał: Do you want to conquer whole world with your music?
Bill: That'd be awesome! I don't know If we can do it, but we'll definetly try.
Michał: So I'm crossing my fingers. But it's not over. Will you record Zimmer 483 in english?
Bill: This album will be a mix of the first and from the new album.
Michał: In which country would you like to play concert the most?
Bill: I'd like to play in Tokio, Japan. We'll see, maybe saome day we'll do it.
-Reden live-
Michał: Why 'Zimmer 483'?
Bill: When we had our free time to work on new songs, we were living next to the ruin. But it had a door with number 483 on it. Then we wrote first song for the album and that's why we called album 'Zimmer 483'.
Michał: Why did you choose 'übers ende der welt' as a first single?
Bill: It's always hard to choose. We wanted to choose song, which can discribe and present the whole album. And that's why why choose übers ende der welt.
Michał: And Spring nicht? I heard this song has two endings. One is good and the second is bad, is it true?
Bill: In German video you have both endings. Basically it's sad song, but in the end, something happens, and everyting is changed. From the moment, when you see a tear in his eye, everything happens in his imagination.
Michał: Quite complicated.
Bill: True.
Michał: And now I have to ask you the most longed question. Do you have girlfriends?
Bill: No, we're all solo.
Michał: And how should look your perfect girlfriend?
Bill: we don't have one specific ideal.
Michał: And what's more important - appearance or personality?
Bill: Both things. I think both of them are important.
Michał: And that was Tokio Hotel! It was really nice to meet you.
TH: Thank you.
Michał: I hope you understood something form my German.
Th: Yes, sure, it was great.

Tokio Hotel - Interview NRJ 12
Hochgeladen von STILL31. - Musikvideos, Sänger Interviews, Konzerte und mehr.


Interviewer: Attention, Attention. The Tokio Hotel phenomenon is installing itself everywhere in Europe. For a few months the waves and concert halls are literally invaded by the German storm. They provoke hysteria in the girls and something like this hasn’t been seen since the boy bands of the 90s. It’s a real phenomenon.

Not long ago they came in France to NRJ. A huge mob of fans were waiting for them, and of course I was there.

Interviewer: Why did you come?
Girl: For Tokio Hotel!!! *screams*
Interviewer: And did you bring them presents?
Girl: Well I didn’t really have time but of course I’ll give them my bra and write my phone number in it hoping that they’ll call me.

Their first album, “Schrei” was pushed to the top of the record charts in 2005. For weeks they got first place in the charts and became “golden disc” in their country and also in Austria. And it doesn’t end there. Their first 4 singles: Durch den Monsun, Schrei, Rette Mich, and Der Letzte Tag, all were in #1 of sales. Yeah, the little guys are really not doing things half way.

*continues to talk about their success, how they started, all the usual stuff we already know for like 6 minutes*

Girls: We love German!
Interviewer: Ah I don’t understand! When I was 14 I would have fights with my mother about not taking German in school because it was so lame!
Girls: Well it’s because of Tokio Hotel. They make German sound good.

REAL INTERVIEW STARTS HERE:

Interviewer: How are you sweethearts?
All: Bonjour! (Hello in French)
Interviewer: So the first question, the key question, is: Why are you called Tokio Hotel?
Bill: Well actually it’s pretty simple. We love big cities, we love hotels, we love going around different cities, so it’s a symbol that represents us well.
Interviewer: So what’s your favorite hotel memory, since you’ve been in so many?
Bill: In Hamburg we were in a hotel where there was a terrace on the top of the hotel. From there we could see all the rooms and what was happening in them. And actually we spent and hour and a half on this terrace watching a couple having sex. We didn’t care if they saw us, we just stared their in our tshirts watching them. It was really hot.
Tom: Oh yeah and it was our first “sexual” experience. It was cool
Bill: The best was that the next morning we saw them at breakfast. It was great.
Interviewer: Haha that must have been great. It must have seemed like you knew them personally already.
Interviewer: What do you do for school?
Bill: Well me and Tom take lessons by correspondence. When we have time we work hard but it’s not easy. We’re preparing our final exam (12th grade). Gustav and Georg already finished school, so they have no problems. But with Tom, we’re working very hard.
Interviewer: Do you have idols?
Bill: We don’t really have an idol. We each have preferences, for example I like Coldplay. But it’s really varied. I also like Green Day. Tom only listens to German hip hop and Gustav listens to harder stuff like Metallica.
Tom: Well yeah but that’s only about music preferences! In real life, I am Bill’s idol I’ve done everything before him! Swimming, learning how to bike, everything.
Bill: Pff you always have to say that.
Tom: Hah! Well, Bill, even today you don’t know how to swim.
Interviewer: I don’t know how to swim either haha.
Bill: Don’t worry Marina (name of interviewer), Tom will save you.
Interviewer: Thanks Tom you can be my lifeguard

Interviewer: So you’re first album was amazing, and your new album is even better. So, you want to talk about the new album?
Bill: Well the new album is a big change. For the first album I was 13, and now we’re much older and you can tell. Playing live a lot also helped us grow up musically. On the new album there’s more guitar than on the first one. We love both albums, and for the tour we mixed both albums together. We worked really hard on it, and we are so happy that everyone likes it.
Interviewer: So, you guys must be aware that this morning there were about 600 girls who where kind of styled you guys. But what is the ideal look for a girl that you like? Come on we have to help the poor girls.
Bill: Well it’s crazy that there are so many girls and boys that dress like us. It’s always the dream of a band to play in front of crowd that looks like them, so it’s a very strong feeling. After it’s hard to say if there’s a particular style that we like better. It’s mostly the girl herself that we have to like.
Tom: Anyways if I like a girl, it doesn’t matter what she’s wearing. She could be wearing a potato sack, I don’t care!
Georg: Well, mini skirts are always nice.
Bill: You’re very brave Georg. (?)
Interviewer: And do you like me right now?
Bill: Ya, definitely. We really like you.
Interviewer: So your look, is this how you look like when you go to the market too? Or just for the stage?
Bill: In the beginning we were dressed like this every day. I went to school like this. But now it’s harder. These days to go out peacefully we dress up to hide ourselves. We wear hoodies, sweatpants. At least people don’t recognize us right away.
Interviewer: Bill, your look is fascinating. Your makeup looks better than mine! How do you do it?
Bill: You have to practice more. You’ll see, it’ll come. Just practice a lot Marina, and you’ll see, your makeup is going to be fabulous. But your makeup is a good start.
Interviewer: But sweetheart, look. My nails are horrible! I painted them black this morning but they’re all messed up. Hey but Bill your nails are fake!
Bill: Well yeah it’s like makeup. You still have to practice a lot. But was you did isn’t that bad.. Look guys! (to camera) It’s a good start!
Interviewer: No, the worst thing, is that it’s not the first time. I’ve been doing this since I was really young but it’s still horrible.
Bill: Well in that case, sorry! I can’t help you (haha).

THE END!
