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!
