Part 1 [Full Interview the next Satuday Oct. 11, 6pm - 8pm (german time)]
Translation's Note: Just the most important parts.
Interviewer: So how exactly did we manage to get you to play here for us on Radio SAW?
Tom: We were actually very keen on it! We got a special acoustic set and it was really fun.
Interviewer: How was Wetten dass…? for you guys? Since it was your first performance after such a long time?
Bill: It was really great, the people were nice, we had a lot of fun, the performance went really well! We only slept three hours then but it was worth it!
Interviewer: You’re now in Magdeburg, is it still like home for you or is it just a city for you guys?
Bill: Well for Georg and Gustav it’s still home, they still live here. And for Tom and me, of course we feel connected to Magdeburg, we grew up here. And our family still lives here too of course.
Tom: Home is for us where we have our own house, where our family, friends and dogs are. And yes we feel very connected to Magdeburg, we grew up here, had our first sex here, … *they both laugh*
Interviewer: Many of your family members are here, are going to meet them and have dinner together?
Bill: Yes, it’s very stressful because we’re heading to Berlin tomorrow already but yes we’re trying to come together and eat something together.
Tom: Pflaumenkuchen (plum cake).
Bill: Yes, Pflaumenkuchen. *they laugh again*
Interviewer: So how many people told you that taking a long break is a career suicide?
Bill: Everyone!
Tom: Yeah, literally everyone told us but we didn’t care, we needed to take a break, we did it anyway.
Interviewer: What do you think about the criticism you receive? Are scared of it?
Tom: No actually, we don’t read stuff like that because it’s mostly negative, a radio show in Berlin recently gave us a very good one and I was very glad about that, that’s the only one I’ve read.
Interviewer: We recorded the acoustic concert and gonna play some parts of it tomorrow, tomorrow morning you’re also going to hear the whole interview. You’ll get pictures of the concert and also a video so stay tuned! Now let’s listen to Love who loves you back!
