Now comes one of the rare interviews with the boys from TH. Our reporter David Motscherat(?) met Germany's most successful band after a one year break for an exclusive interview in Hamburg. Topics were of course the new single "Automatisch", but the boys also spoke openly about something that's especially interesting to their fans: love. And there, especially Tom Kaulitz is going completely new ways.

Short wait in the hotel-room, and there they are.
M: Hello, how are you! Good?
B: Very good!
T: Motscherat?! Is it possible ? [I guess they know him from previous interviews?!]

B, T, Ge and Gu are back again after one year. Visually, not that much has changed: As ever, Bill likes it extravagantly, now he has nail polish that fits in with his hair. Gustav's hair is a bit longer, he's got glasses. And concerning the music, the boys have become a little bit more grown-up: Automatisch, the new single. The song is about a cold, emotionless person. Whom were they thinking of?!

Tom: YOU!! *laughter*
B: Nah... I mean, especially in what we're doing, we meet lots of people who are emotionless, who are automatic ...
T: ...superficial
B: ...and superficial. So, it's a bit our personal experience...

And there were more than enough personal experiences, sadly also negative ones, in the past months: Gustav was involved in an ugly brawl, and the whole band was followed by hysterical stalkers. Being famous isn't all fun, after all.

B: It definitely does scare you a bit sometimes.
T: Yeah.
B: Coz, I mean, we tried for about a year now to keep a bit away from the public, and it didn't really work.
T: Yes, that...
B: And of course there are always some stories that become public. And then you realize: Ok, even when you try, it doesn't really work.

And the next months certainly will be intense, because TH are back with their new album Humanoid: Much stress, much promo. Wouldn't a steady girl-friend as a balance be a good thing? Especially for the hitherto so restless Tom...

T: Let's say: My position on that has changed a bit, so that now I at least hope that I might fall in love some day. Although I still don't really believe that it will happen to me, but at least I hope for it.
B: I think it will happen. Only in the past, he always fought so hard against it...
T:...and now at least I'm mentally prepared for it. So now it maybe can begin...
B: ...now it can begin.

Begin or: take off - that's the right motto. Automatisch will be out on the 18th of september, and the boys couldn't have come up with a grander entrance.
T: Bye!
