:
It's the first time for you in Finland but what is the most interesting place the tour has taken you to?
Bill: That's a hard question. Every city is different and gives you different things.
Tom: If you'd ask where the best party club was I'd definitely say Moscow. One can have a really good party there. We haven't partied in every city but at least in Moscow the party was really good.

So are you planning to keep on partying here in Helsinki too?
Bill: We have a really early morning so.. This time we have a really tight tour program and we're on the go all the time. Tomorrow we'll be heading to France. So there really isn't much time. We haven't seen much of the city, but hopefully we'll have little time tomorrow. I mean, it's always great to see the city from the car window on the way to the airport But this time we won't have time to go party. But the next time! I think it won't take us long to come back here.

*Spring nicht*

You haven't released a lot of albums yet and have gained the success in just a few years so how do the very first songs of yours you've made years ago sound to you?
Tom: Of course they sound very different mainly because Bill was 13 when he sang those. But you can't say those aren't good songs, it's still good music. It's not like our music taste has changed with every album. They are still sick songs. (Sau Sau gute Songs ;P )

*Schrei*

Your newest album has been translated into English. Is it possible that there will be an album made only in English?
Bill: I don't think so. German music is our thing. We started out with German songs and.. I don't write.. I can't really speak English so I'll write the songs in German and then we'll make a one to one translation to be understood. But there won't be an album only made in English. English will be there on the side just as it's been so far.

*Ready, Set, Go*

You've gained so much in comparison to your young age. How have your lives changed during these past few years that brought the big success?
Tom: It's completely changed from the time we released our first single. We are on tour and on the go all the time. The other two had already finished school but me and Bill had to drop out when we had to tour all the time. Now we're in a distance learning school and are trying to graduate from there. Everything's changed, I could talk about it for hours! Of course there *snot as much private life as before. We have 50 000 people in a crowd instead of 5 people. Numerous things have changed.

*Rette mich*

There are some wild rumors of you in the tabloids. What is the craziest rumor you've heard about yourself?
Bill: I once read that I was dead. It said that I had fell in a hotel room and died. People were already thinking crazy things and.. It was funny to read it.
Tom: But the wildest and craziest thing to read was that Georg isn't a virgin anymore. That was..
Georg: That story again..
Tom: Yeah, but it's still true. It's mad that people really thought he'd had sex. It's incomprehensible.

There have also been rumors in the internet that some of you might have had groupies. Haven't the older rockers taught you there's no telling about these things?
Tom: It's that, Georg HAS brought girls to his bed, but then they've scooted. And the other guys are the same. I'm the only one who can work it out but even I don't have a clue what the deal is.
Bill: I must say, I'm not that into one night stands or groupies. To me it's that when I fall in love I really fall in love. It's permanent. I believe in a relationship. I don't get exited about one night stands. There's the difference between me and Tom. I don't do that even though I could.

*Der letzte Tag*

What's the unachieved dream that you as a band want to achieve?
Tom: For example.. Well of course there are many things we want to achieve: we want to go to many new countries and maybe even play a world tour. And we haven't been in Tokio yet. We want to go there. So as a band we have many goals.

The Finnish fans have waited for you like no other, how are you going to live up? (idk, "fulfill their expectations"?)
Tom: Yeah, we're all wondering what Georg comes up with.. It's great for us to come here for the first time, we even had a great start with our trip when the fans were waiting at the airport. We also hope that we delight people and can come back soon.
