Georg - In fact, we have met us in a music academy. We practically were already friends. One evening, we have gone in a concert where each can go up on stage and do what he wants. That's here that we have met the others [Bill & Tom].

***

Tom - It's true that we have a lot of fans and it's cool to bring them alls this hapiness. We're in a marvellous position : we travel around the world and the success has come as quickly as in Germany two years ago. So we try to enjoy as much as possible. We want to make the things as intense as possible and especially to have fun as much as possible.


***


Bill - We haven't changed. We're still the same people who make mistakes. We consider ourselves as normal people and not at all as stars. But it's clear that it's marvelous, when you are a eighteen boy, to have all these girls who cry your name when they go to see you. It's an extraordinary feeling but we have to not think "I'm the best of the world" (laughs)


Tom - No. In fact, I'm the only who can tell that. Honestly, we've stayed the same. We still have feelings, sensations et emotions like everyone. But it's true that we sometimes can give the impression that we are super confident.


***


Tom - Of course it's very important to us to come home and see our family and our friends when we have some days off. We obviously talk about differents things and we scarcely ever refer to the band or our projects. As regards to Bill and me who have the same friends and obviously the same family, we have a private life in common but it always has been like this. But those persons are very important, they enable us to break away from our day to day lives. But on the other hand we like to go away together with the band, it's close to my heart.


***

Georg - When we're on tour, we have some time for us. We often play ping-pong. We wake teams and then we fight with people who are on tour with us.


Tom - And if we're not on tour, there is a thing we like to do above all (except Gustav who don't like sleeping) : we rise very late. Sleeping, sleeping, sleeping, eating, watching TV a bit then sleeping, sleeping, sleeping and sleeping. And if we have some more of free time, we go away and what we like above all is the little islands far far away.


Tom - Of course, we have a real relationship with them [the fans]. We enjoy talking with them but it's true that our daytimes are filled. However we always try to devote time to them as much as possible. When we meet them, we discuss but it's not always easy. Everywhere we go, there are many fans, they wait in front of our hotel during hours and they sometimes sleep on the spot. They prepare presents and drop us a line. We know all that. That's why we spend our time with them as much as possible, they're always here for us. We have a particulary relationship because we want to return everything they give us.


***


Bill - You can't even imagine all the presents we receive every day. We even receive letters which are so long. We receive poems, cards. We see beautiful and incredible things. So it's impossible to choice something. Honnestly, there's nothing better than an other 'cause they all have a special knack. Some fans tell us very personal stories. The whole presents are unique and so precious.


***

[The question : what's your favorite girl's style ? --']

Tom - It's a really difficult question. I don't prefer one or the other. From the moment there is something between us, if we're connected [connected ? linked ? I don't know exactly what he means... it's not clear in french because i't's already a light translation of german], the style doesn't matter. [Tom, the lover XD]. Things have to happen naturally. That don't interest me to know if she's brown-haired or blond.

Georg - An other mix : Angelina Jolie, the Olsen's sisters and Eva Longoria.

Gustav - I'm totally agree with this definition.

Bill - For my part, I agree with Tom : all the girls are beautiful when something happens.


***
[Bill's look]

Bill - I'm like this for a long time. Besides the guys always have seen me like this. All has begun at a halloween party where I've disguised myself as a vampyr. The black nails and the rest have come in this way. This is something which is part and parcel of my personality.


***
[TH = marketing product ?]

Bill - Oh my god, if there was the case, I think a good many people of our record company would be on the streets. It's kind of rumor you can typically find in the disc industry. It's true that in Germany there are many bands who have been launched by reality shows and castings. Then they're been put on the stage by the medias. So it's quite hard for the real bands to have one's place in the sun. Moreover, once you're on the spotlight, the most difficult is stay there. It's not easy to prove that you're a real band and not a marketing product. I just want to advise the bands who are waiting their turn : go for it, try, and don't pay attention to what other people think or say. Do what you want to do. Music is above all an emotion, not marketing.

13.12.2007 RTL Punkt 12: „The first car“

A proud rock star looks like that!
Tom Kaulitz poses on the hood of his new dreamcar like a big player!
But then the driver`s newbie takes a seat at the front passenger seat yet.
Ex-racedriver Klaus Nidwitz makes a driver`s-security-training with the 18 years old and poser Tom becomes suddenly very subdued.

Tom:
“Thank goodness I haven`t been through a lot of exciting things in the normal road traffic. It was relatively relaxed.
Today I learned here at the test area, what could happen and how I can and above all, how I have to react in special situations.”


And so it looks, when Tom goes into a skid at the professional driver`s training.
That leads to the question, whether the car makes not only the driver more attractive, but also the front passenger?

Tom:
“Yeah, but in the end I don`t need that, because I have already so much sex appeal. No, it`s a nice car! It fits to me, I think! And I can handle it well, though it`s big.”

Bill:
“It won`t attract attention! You can drive relaxed through the city….”

His brother Bill is especially happy about the new car, because he still doesn`t have a driver`s license.

Bill:
"I`m now the only one in the band, who has no driver`s license, because unfortunately I didn`t make it. For that reason the others have to drive me through the area all the time. And it`s obvious, that Tom drives me from A to B. That is really good, I have to say! I enjoy that!”


Tom has still to friend with his new American car, but soon he himself will be at the wheel for driving his brother and bandmates through the area.

Translation:

News reader: They must be Europe’s most popular twins at the moment – Bill and Tom of Tokio Hotel. At first glance, they don’t seem like brothers at all. Too big is the difference between them. Tom casual and cool. Bill always perfectly styled. If the brothers are still similar to one another and what happens when there’s a quarrel in the Kaulitz home; David Motyarad will report.

Narrator: No, they really don’t look like identical twins – At least not at first glance. This was cleared up once more at an interview in Berlin. Bill this time with his hair down and Tom as usual with dreadlocks. Except with one difference that he finally got his drivers license and Bill not.

Bill: I’m the only one in the band that doesn’t have license since I sadly didn’t make it. So the others have to hold on and drive me all over the place. Especially Tom that has to take me from A to B. It’s really cool. I enjoy it.

Narrator: Which brings us to the topic of Bill and Tom’s brotherhood. They’ve been inseparable since children with their very eager career start which have made them extremely successful in the past three years. However, there are still many differences between the two from which can be seen in the recent single “1000 Meere”. Mystical and very much Bill’s taste.

Bill: I think that’s just in me. It was always that way. We were always different in that point since we were always… [Interrupted by Tom]

Tom: I’ve always been a realist and never really believed in the whole supernatural stuff. I really don’t.

Narrator: Bill the dreamer and Tom the realist; the roles clearly given in the Kaulitz home. Perhaps that’s the secret of success.

Tom: Bill’s is how he is and was always that way for me my whole life. But the thing is that we’re the same on the inside since we often think the same things and such. I don’t really believe in things like twintuition, but we can understand each other in that sense. Like I know what he thinks. Like right now I do.

Narrator: So it’s blind trust, then, but doesn’t mean it’s always peaceful.

Bill: Of course there’s arguments and stuff… [Interrupted by Tom again]

Tom: When there’s a big argument, its usually between Bill and I.

Bill: And the thing is that no one should interfere since we sort it out and everything is good on our own. Because if someone comes between us and tells us to quit it, it’ll never work.

Narrator: This is how you clear things up between brothers. A perfect team which was proven even more by the later autograph hour. Success brings one closer as it seems. But the next argument is will be waiting…

10.12.07 SIC Extase (with Translation) X



Translation by aniinhas

Host: Top Extase of today has Tokio Hotel that rocked lask week at Família Superstar. Although that, a little video closing the best sold album of the week.

Bill: Hi, we are Tokio Hotel! We want to thank you the awesome trip to Portugal.
Gustav: I'm Gustav and I play the drums.
Bill: I'm Bill, the vocalista and I write the lyrics for Tokio Hotel.
Tom: I'm Tom and I play the guitar. Really well, for sure.
Georg: I'm Georg and I play the bass.

Bill: We had a band with other name, but we want one with more sense. We looked for a logo that was about to show that we are urban people. And one name that should be equal everywhere, with the same meaning. We choosed Tokio because it sounded well, we never went there, but it's maybe a really good city. And big.
Gustav: I like to listen to Foo Fighters and Metallica. and I also like Korn and Rage Against the Machine.
Tom: I listen to Hip Hop. It maybe doesn't make sense as a guitarist but I'm a big fan of Hip Hop.
Georg: I'm fan of Oasis for a long time, I like Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance... That kinds of music.
Bill: I've complety different tastes. I listen to Green Day, Placebo, Coldplay. Sometimes Keane and I listen to Nena for a long time.

Bill: We always had a lot of freedom since we were little kids, in terms of criativity and look. We almost could do everything we wanted to. I did my first piercing when I was 13 years ond. Our parents weren't that hard with us.

Bill: We had been here for two years ago at the MTV Europe Music Awards. We came has guests and, in that time, we were complety unknown. We saw the program, but this is the first time that we come to give a concert, has band and there were fans at the airport, we were totally amazed with that! We understood that we have many fans. We were very happy, we were not really expecting that reception that we had and we are also happy to came here the next year to play a concert. We have a tour in March and we will come to Portugal.

Bill: We had a lot of fun and we will be back in March, 16th live in Lisbon. We are expecting to see you there. See you soon.
