noisey.vice.com : "Das Erste Date Mit... Tokio Hotel" - Berlin, Germany (24.02.2015)


In unserer Reihe „Das erste Date mit …“ gehen wir mit Musikern auf ein erstes Date, um ihnen möglichst unangenehme Fragen zu stellen, die man bei einem ersten Date so abfrühstückt, und ihnen eine Chance zu geben, sich möglichst von der besten Seite zu zeigen—genau wie bei einem ersten Date.

Tom und Bill Kaulitz, die Zwillinge von Tokio Hotel, sind Rockstars per Definition, leben in der Metropole L.A., führen ein Highlife und gehören zu den wohl bekanntesten Menschen in diesem Lande, die sich nicht mal unerkannt auf der Straße bewegen können und vor allem noch nie in ihrem Leben U-Bahn gefahren sind. Das ist ziemlich genau der Gegenentwurf zu meinem Leben. Aber man soll schließlich auch mal aus seiner Comfortzone raus, musikalisch als Noisey und persönlich als quasi in der U-Bahn lebender Mensch. Für das Doppeldate mit Bill und Tom Kaulitz sind wir also auf einen romantischen Spaziergang mit ihren beiden Hunden Pumba (und der Andere) gegangen, auf dem wir vom Heiraten und Kinderwünschen über Autos, Groupies, mögliche Berufswahlen wie Pornostar oder BWL-Student bis hin zu Drake alle wichtigen Datefragen abdecken konnten.

Übrigens veröffentlichen Tokio Hotel am 27. März ihre neue Feel It All-EP und starten am Freitag ihre Welttournee. Das mit dem zweiten Date wird also erstmal nichts. 

Wisst ihr eigentlich, dass wir auf einem Date sind?
Tom: Ja.
Bill: Ich habe gehört, das ist dein erstes Doppeldate.

Ja, wart ihr schon mal auf einem Doppeldate? Macht ihr sowas zusammen?
Bill: Nee, aber wir hatten mal dieselbe Freundin.

Wirklich?
Bill: Ja (lacht). Also was heißt Freundin? Das war so der erste Kuss. Tom hatte ihn damals zuerst mit dem Mädchen.
Tom: Wir hatten aber mehrere zusammen, ne. Auf jeden Fall einige, die wir gut fanden, ich erinnere mich an mehrere. Mit einer hatten wir auch den gleichen Kuss.

Mehrere, die ihr euch geteilt habt?
Bill: Wir haben die so ein bisschen geteilt.
Tom: Ja, ich war immer zuerst, muss man sagen und dann ging das so ein bisschen über. Als ich keine Lust mehr hatte, habe ich sie dann an Bill abgegeben.

So macht ihr das also.
Bill: Eigentlich nicht. Aber früher vielleicht. Unsere Freundinnen waren auch immer miteinander befreundet. Wir hatten immer einen ähnlichen Geschmack, aber jetzt, wo wir ein bisschen älter geworden sind, hat sich das ein bisschen verändert. Oder, Tom? Ich finde, jetzt gehen unsere Geschmäcker ein bisschen auseinander.
Tom: Als Teenager findet man ja auch alles gut, was halbwegs gut aussieht.
Bill: Wobei auf dem Dorf gibt es auch nicht so viel Auswahl. Wir sind ja in einem kleinen Dorf aufgewachsen, da gab es dann immer nur zwei hübsche Mädchen.

Tom ist also der Aufreißer und du bist etwas schüchterner?
Bill: Ja, ich bin etwas schüchterner.
Tom: Ich muss aber sagen, der Aufreißer bin ich jetzt auch nicht mehr. Ich bin schon seit vier, fünf Jahren aus dem Game raus, weil ich eine feste Freundin habe. Die Zeiten liegen hinter mir.
Bill: Ich bin noch schüchtern und nicht in einer Beziehung. Ich bin auch eher der zurückhaltende Typ. Tom war ja am Anfang immer krass unterwegs und Georg auch.

Was, Georg auch? 
Bill: Georg auch, die haben das mit den Groupies schon ordentlich ausgekostet. Aber ich bin eher so der Romantiker, was das angeht.

Och. Und der Gustav?
Bill: Gustav ist mittlerweile sogar verheiratet, mit 26.

Das ist aber jung. Wäre das für euch eine Option, so jung zu heiraten?
Bill: Es heiraten jetzt ja ganz viele so mit 25, 26, in L.A. kriege ich das auch immer wieder mit. Viele in unserem Alter haben schon Familie. Für mich ist das kein Thema, weil ich ja nicht verliebt bin. Aber wenn das alles passt, würde ich das auch machen.

Wie viele Hunde habt ihr?
Bill: Die zwei, Toms Freundin hat auch noch einen, in L.A. haben wir dann drei Hunde. Aber unsere privaten Hunde sind die beiden.

Wenn der Kleine Pumba heißt, heißt der Große dann Timon?
Bill: Schön wär’s. Tom, er sollte Timon heißen.
Tom: Ich verrate seinen Namen nicht gern, weil ich nicht will, dass die ganzen Fans ihn rufen. Alle wissen, dass er Pumba heißt und alle rufen immer Pumba. Das Gute an ihm ist aber, dass er nicht hört.
Bill: Klar hört er!
Tom: Wenn die ganzen Leute Pumba rufen, ist das für ihn, als würde jemand Kathrin rufen.
Bill: So ein Quatsch.
Tom: Aber wenn ich mit meinem rausgehe und alle würden seinen Namen kennen… Wir nehmen die ja immer mit auf Tour, dann müssen wir auch mal mit ihnen Gassi gehen und werden von einer Traube Fans und Fotografen begleitet, die immer die Hundenamen rufen. Aber er geht immer kein Stück weiter, weil niemand seinen Namen kennt, weil ich so ein guter Papa bin.

Habt ihr gegegenseitig was mitzureden beim Daten?
Bill: Das ist schon wichtig, dass sich der Zwillingsbruder auch mit dem Partner versteht, wobei das eigentlich viel schwieriger für die Partner ist, weil die immer eine Beziehung mit zwei Leuten führen und vor allem weil wir immer die erste Bezugsperson für den anderen sind. Die Beziehung muss sich immer hinten anstellen. Wir sind wirklich so close. Es gibt nichts, was Tom nicht über mich weiß und umgekehrt genauso. Wo Tom ist, bin ich auch. Wir kommen immer im Doppelpack.
Tom: Die normale Partnerschaft, wie sich das andere vorstellen, ist mit uns gar nicht möglich, weil Bill und ich schon die engste Partnerschaft haben, die man sich überhaupt vorstellen kann. Nur ohne Sex.

Was ist, wenn das Mädchen eure Musik nicht mag?
Tom: Das wäre auch in Ordnung.
Bill: Wobei, weiß ich gar nicht, ob das so okay wäre. Findest du das okay?
Tom: Naja, wenn sie grundsätzlich die Musik scheiße finden würde, wäre das ja auch total albern. Das könnte ich gar nicht ernst nehmen. (Gelächter)

Gutes Selbstbewusstsein auf jeden Fall. 
Bill: Das wäre ja auch total bescheuert. Die Musik ist ja so privat und so intim. Wenn der Partner das scheiße findet, findet er ja einen riesengroßen Teil an dir scheiße. Das würde ja keinen Sinn geben.

Seid ihr da empfindlich?
Bill: Eigentlich nicht. Wir spielen unsere Musik auch immer als Erstes unseren Familien und Freunden vor. Da gibt es das ganz oft, dass die Leute das nicht schnallen, zum Beispiel bei „Girl Got A Gun“ haben viele gesagt: „Da stehe ich gar nicht drauf, finde ich kacke.“ Aber Tom und ich hatten immer ein gesundes Selbstbewusstsein. Es war auch oft so, dass wenn Leute etwas richtig kacke fanden—auch bei mir optisch—hatte ich noch mehr Bock, das anzuziehen. Wir sind da relativ selbstbewusst und vertrauen unseren Instinkten.

Macht ihr immer noch Highlife in L.A.?
Bill: Jetzt gerade nicht mehr so, weil wir viel unterwegs sind. Ich arbeite ja ganz gern und bin auch gern im Stress. Wenn ich zu viel Zeit für andere Sachen habe, baue ich meistens Scheiße. Dann wird das zu viel. Ich muss dann immer gucken, dass ich da wieder rauskomme. Und als wir das Album aufgenommen haben und keine anderen Termine hatten, war das schon extrem mit dem Feiern.
Tom: Ich habe immer so Phasen. Manchmal vertrage ich sehr viel und dann kann ich einfach nicht mehr. Bis vor Kurzem war es eigentlich noch relativ viel und an Gustavs Hochzeit habe ich mich so abgeschossen, dass ich seitdem sehr, sehr wenig feiere.
Bill: Gerade gehen wir gar nicht feiern, weil ich so Hypochonder-mäßig darauf achte, nicht krank zu werden wegen der Tour.

Wie feiert man in L.A.? High Society Clubs? Drogen?
Bill: Drogen gibt es superviele in L.A. Kiffen tut natürlich jeder, weil es legal ist. Das ist wie Zigarettenrauchen, das macht jeder. Ansonsten ist es schon anders als hier, alles ist um 2 Uhr zu Ende.
Tom: Es ist alles fancy, es ist lange nicht so ausgelassen und careless wie in Berlin. Es ist alles prolliger.

Findet ihr das cool?
Bill: Ja, es gibt schon coole Clubs, die es hier gar nicht gibt. Dort ist alles sehr durchgestylt. Es hat beides was, man hat auf beides mal Bock.

Fahrt ihr eigentlich noch U-Bahn?
Bill: Nee.
Tom: Ich bin noch nie U-Bahn gefahren.

Was? Du bist noch nie U-Bahn gefahren?
Tom: (schüttelt den Kopf)
Bill: Ich muss auch ehrlich sagen, ich wüsste gar nicht, wie das mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln geht. Ich könnte nicht mal einen Busplan lesen. Ich wüsste überhaupt nicht, wie ich von A nach B komme, auch mit Straßenbahnen. Ich habe das einfach nie gemacht.

Es wäre nicht okay, wenn eure Freundin eure Musik nicht feiert, aber seid ihr skeptisch gegenüber richtigen Fans?
Tom: Man ist schon skeptisch, weil man sich über die Jahre auch sehr isoliert hat. Wir sind schon, seit wir 15 sind, am Machen und dann bist du natürlich gegenüber Journalisten und Leuten, die an deiner Person interessiert sind, was am Ende natürlich auch Fans sind, sehr vorsichtig. Grundsätzlich kann ich das nicht ausschließen, weil ich ja grundsätzlich verstehen kann, dass man Fan von der Musik ist (lacht).

Es ist ein Zwiespalt.
Tom: Es ist ja auch bei jedem Kennenlernen schwierig, weil ich immer weiß, dass die Person mich schon aus der Öffentlichkeit kennt. Es ist zu 98% der Fall, dass derjenige schon mal über dich was gelesen hat. Die einzige Situation, wo das nicht immer vorkommt, ist in Amerika.

Ist das der Grund, warum ihr dort hingezogen seid?
Bill: Ja, total.
Tom: Irgendwann ging das für uns privat nicht mehr und wir wollten wohin, wo man auch mal Leute trifft, die einen noch nicht kennen.

Du erzählst dann immer, dass du ein tschechischer Pornostar bist, oder?
Tom: Genau. Ich frage mich manchmal auch, was realistisch ist. Wir sehen ja schon so aus… Wir laufen auch privat so rum, vor allem bei Bill fragen sich die Leute immer. Oft sagen sie: „Ich habe das Gefühl, ich kenne dich irgendwoher“, auch wenn sie einen nicht kennen. Jeder in L.A. will immer gleich wissen, ob du in der Industrie tätig bist und ob man über dich irgendeinen Kontakt kriegen kann. Ich überlege mir immer, was ich sagen kann, was realistisch ist und nichts mit Musik zu tun hat. Und dann sage ich immer, ich bin ein Pornostar. Bill sagt, er ist Fotograf.
Bill: Ich weiß nie, was man mir glaubt und dann erzähle ich immer irgendeinen Scheiß. Einmal hatte ich jemand, der selber Fotograf war und meinte: „Was ist denn deine Lieblingslinse? Ich habe auch ein Fotostudio.“ Und ich dachte mir: Fuck, ich weiß überhaupt nichts über Kameras. Dann musste ich mir irgendwas aus dem Arsch ziehen. Letztes Mal, als wir in Miami waren, kam auch ein Typ und meinte zu uns „Hi, ihr seht aus, als ob ich mit euch Geld verdienen kann.“

Das ist ja eine nette Begrüßung. 
Bill: Ja, und ich meinte so: „Ach nichts, wir studieren und sind nur bei Freunden.“
Tom: Aber das Problem war, dass wir mit unserem Auto da waren und sie das gleich gesehen haben.
Bill: Genau, er meinte gleich: „Ihr habt doch Kohle.“ Und ich habe dann gesagt, dass unsere Eltern ganz gut Geld haben.
Tom: „Wir sind nur Rich Kids.“
Bill: Er hat uns das aber nicht geglaubt. Die Leute glauben uns das einfach nicht. Ich brauche noch was Realistisches.

Sag doch einfach, du bist BWL-Student. 
Bill: Ja. Oder ich sage eben, ich mache als Hobby Musik.
Tom: Dann denken alle, du bist so ein Möchtegernkünstler.
Bill: Der gerne mal irgendwo Erfolg hätte. Davon gibt es in L.A. ja viele.

Oder Autoverkäufer, dann habt ihr gleich eine Erklärung für das teure Auto.
Tom: (zu Bill) Du siehst eigentlich auch aus wie so ein schmieriger Autoverkäufer, der Gebrauchtwagen vertickt (Gelächter).

Bleibt ihr eigentlich auf dem Laufenden darüber, was in Deutschland abgeht?
Bill: So ein bisschen, geht so. Man bekommt nicht so viel mit in Amerika, wenn man nicht konkret dranbleibt und sich informiert.
Tom: Insgesamt auch wenig, ich beschäftige mich meistens mit meinem Kram. Wenn man gerade im Studio ist und entspannt ein Album produziert, beschäftigt man sich eher mal mit anderen Sachen und informiert sich. Aber auf Tour oder Tourvorbereitung steht man morgens auf, setzt sich gleich an den Rechner und bereitet irgendwas vor. Dann beschäftige ich mit gar nichts außer mit Tokio Hotel.

Wollt ihr noch überall die Finger im Spiel haben?
Tom: Was die Band angeht, leider ja.
Bill: Ich würde supergerne mehr abgeben und entspannter sein. Wir haben letztens wieder darüber geredet. Eigentlich haben wir ein Riesenteam und es gibt für alle Leute Aufgabenbereiche, aber letztendlich gucken wir über alles drüber und sind da extrem unentspannt.
Tom: Wir haben eigentlich so viele Leute, die wir jeden Monat bezahlen, um Sachen zu erledigen, aber wenn jedes Thema über unseren Schreibtisch wandern muss, dauert es einfach doppelt so lange. Es ist ganz schwer, diesen Weg zu finden. Ich habe immer unglaubliche Angst, Kontrolle zu verlieren. Dann schiebe ich es immer auf Leute und werde unglaublich frustriert. Es ist schwer, weil ich meine Arbeit als Künstler nur gut machen kann, wenn ich den Kopf frei habe.

Perfektionisten, ich merke schon.
Beide: Ja, schlimm.

Ihr seid euch wirklich krass ähnlich. 
Ja. (lachen)

Wie unterscheidet ihr euch denn? Nicht mal im Frauengeschmack!
Bill: Nur optisch würde ich sagen, aber sonst… Ich finde das schwierig zu sagen, andere könnten das vielleicht besser beurteilen. Ich bin vielleicht noch mehr ein Bauchmensch und Tom ist manchmal überlegter als ich.
Tom: Du hast ein bisschen mehr Disziplin als ich. Du bist ein bisschen verbissener.
Bill: Aber ich mache Sachen auch schnell und unüberlegt, weil ich so unglaublich ungeduldig bin. Das unterscheidet uns. Du hast mehr Geduld, deswegen spielst du auch Instrumente. Ich spiele keine Instrumente, weil ich mich nicht hinsetzen und was lernen kann.
Tom: Bill ist ein bisschen emotionaler und dadurch kommen auch die Bauchsachen.
Bill: Bei mir muss immer alles schnell gehen. Ich rede schnell, ich rede viel und ich kann nie lange auf was warten. Deswegen ist es auch total die falsche Branche für mich, weil Sachen ja auch mal dauern. Ich habe das ganz extrem. Ich kann auch nie eine Email oder eine SMS unbeantwortet lassen. Wenn mir jemand schreibt, kriegt er innerhalb von fünf Minuten eine Nachricht zurück. Ich habe auch noch nie in meinem Leben jemandem Geld geschuldet, ich kriege nie eine Mahnung. Ich kann Sachen nicht liegen lassen. Tom ist manchmal so, dass er sagt „Entspann dich, ist doch scheißegal“. Ich muss immer alles sofort abhaken und ich habe ganz wenig Verständnis für Leute, die schluderig sind.

Vielleicht solltest du doch BWL studieren. 
Bill: Ja, ich bin auch so, dass ich immer einen Notizblock habe und sehr organisiert bin (lacht). Ich weiß immer genau, was ich als Nächstes mache.

Eine sehr wichtige Erste Date-Frage ist noch: Hört ihr Drake?
Bill: Nein, ich nicht.
Tom: Ist das gut, wenn man das hört oder nicht (Unwissende Leute im Raum schütteln den Kopf). Ich würde mir kein ganzes Drake-Album anhören, aber einzelne Lieder fand ich sehr gut, „Hold On, We’re Going Home“.
Bill: Ja, der war gut.
Tom: Ich habe grundsätzlich Respekt vor Hits. Da ist mir auch egal, ob das totaler Pop, HipHop oder Rock ist. Wenn das gut gemacht hat und eine eingängige Melodie hat, ist das Mindeste, was ich davor habe, Respekt. Und manchmal höre ich es auch.

Cropped Magazine : Interview with Tokio Hotel - Berlin, Germany 24.02.2015

(Eng. Subtitles)

Kaltblut Magazine : Interview with Tokio Hotel - Berlin, Germany 24.02.2015

TOKIO HOTEL: CULT KIDS, ALL-GROWN-UP – AN INTERVIEW
“Love has no gender or religion, no borders” – Tokio Hotel told KALTBLUT as we chatted about their new album “Kings of Suburbia” [Island Records] and their upcoming world tour–“Feel It All: The Club Experience”–due to kick off in London next week. Inspired by the wanton debauchery of their newfound home in downtown L.A, Germany’s favourite lost boys Bill & Tom are finally all grown up–as are their teenage cult following–but do they still feel like aliens?

If the latest visual offering for “Love Who Loves You Back” is anything to go by, they’re now 25-years-young, frequently dark corners in Berghain-esque nightclubs where the rules to which they could never succumb do not matter, in fact do not exist at all. As they encourage fans worldwide to revel in this delicious boundary-free sphere, will they finally plug the void which MySpace friends once used to fill?

KALTBLUT: How did you record the new album?

Bill: So Georg and Gustav were still living in our home town, they still live in Germany now. Me and Tom moved to L.A. so we weren’t working together all the time, but we got to meet in the studio together for band recordings and live recordings. They came to L.A. once in a while, other times we would go to meet them in Germany.
Tom: We’ve been in Germany too. We recorded in a lot of different studios. This record took us four years of work I think, and constantly being in the studio producing, songwriting. So at the end of the day it was a collection of four years of songwriting – we ended up recording in a lot of different places.

KALTBLUT: Four years is a really long time!

Bill: Yeah I know, but we were constantly working on it. We wrote a lot of songs. There were so many songs that didn’t end up on the record, and we’d rather put less songs on there so we could form the perfect album. We decided to put eleven tracks on in order to do that. We also wrote a lot of songs that we wrote for ourselves that we will save to offer to other artists as well. That’s something we wanted to do anyway, produce for other people too.

KALTBLUT: What kind of other artists are you thinking of?

Tom: Oh I don’t know, it’s like in general we enjoy good music, so at the end of the day I’m not thinking in any specific genre or anything like that. For me it’s like I can enjoy that it’s good production, no matter what type of music it is – I can enjoy a good pop song, a good rock song, I like every kind of music as long as it’s well made. I’m 100% open to new ideas.


KALTBLUT: It must be important to find a new direction after being together for so many years?

Bill: Oh yeah, definitely. Especially after the last album we needed a break and a change to get new inspiration because we didn’t know what we wanted to do music-wise. We’ve said it all, we’ve done it all, we were kind of like tired and didn’t know what to do. We didn’t just want to make another album that sounds the same. So we just thought we need to live our lives a little bit to get inspired.

KALTBLUT: Is that why you you decided to move over to L.A.?

Tom: Uh huh, yeah. At the time for me it was super hard to live here in Germany because of privacy reasons. We always had fans and people following us, we weren’t able to go out without having security. So each time we came off from a tour or wanted to get a break we were heavily guarded, it was like a prison. We couldn’t go out and get inspired! We really needed that change. We realised we have to have a life too. I guess when you’re young you don’t really realise. I remember we were coming home after three years of constant touring and I didn’t really know what to do because I had no life. When you’re constantly on the road you don’t realise it, but when you come home it hits you and then you can fall into a black hole. So the reason we went to L.A. was for personal reasons, and then we started to feel like we wanted to work on the record and take our time, be creative, not feel pressure from the label. We just wanted to write and work as producers.

KALTBLUT: Do you think that moving to L.A. and your experiences there shaped the new album?

Bill: For sure, we started a whole new life.
Tom: It totally worked out for us.
Bill: It was the best decision we could have made. I mean, we’re still psychos! But I think on a personal level, I don’t know what would have happened if we had stayed in Europe. It was one of the best decisions we ever made.

KALTBLUT: We were really surprised when we watched the video for “Love Who Loves You Back” – it almost feels like a typical Friday night out in Berlin! Were your new videos purposely intended to be provocative?

Bill: People asked us, because we released all three videos before the album came out and we got confronted with “Ah everything is so sexual!” and we didn’t even realise! Every time we make decisions it’s super spontaneous and out of pure instinct, so when we wrote those songs I already have a concept for the video in my mind. I always have a pretty keen idea of what I want to do and for “Love Who Loves You Back” I wanted to make that video for a long time, even when we were making the last album, but it just wasn’t the right director and it wasn’t the right song. I always had that idea, so when I wrote that song I just knew that the video was meant for that. The idea inspired by a movie called “Perfume” directed by Tom Tykwer. I wanted to take the idea into the video, but instead of perfume, we used music – because I feel that’s the message of the song. It’s like love has no gender or religion, no borders – and I just wanted to bring that across, also in a fun way. I feel like so many people are watching our videos so I wanted to do something like that.

KALTBLUT: So you guys are going on tour?

Bill: We have until the 5th and then we go to London. We are really excited, it’s going to be a great show. It’s a little nerve wracking because when you’ve worked on something for so long, you just want it to sound as good as it can be. Plus we’re a nervous band! We get like super nervous before each show, even after years!
Tom: Yeah I think it’s getting worse!
Bill: I don’t think we’re ever going to lose that. I think that’s maybe part of it, but especially if you have a new album and everything, you’re super nervous.
Tom: I wish it would be a little less.
Bill: Yeah but I’m good at working under pressure, most of the time I’m better.
KALTBLUT: So we mentioned on our Twitter page that we would interview you guys, and have some questions from your fans!

Question #1 from Sandrine Tan: Which language is the most beautiful for you guys?

Tokio Hotel: Italian!
Bill: I love Italian people, I think they’re all beautiful inside and outside. They’re so pretty! It’s a super nice country, I love the whole culture, I love the food, the architecture. The language especially!

Question #2 from Devyn: What music are you listening to lately?

Bill: Right now I love the song by Lenny called “Because I Love You”. It’s a cool song.
Tom: There’s another great song called “Shadow of the Sun” by Taped Rai. Like somebody will come across a cool song and then everybody goes and buys it!
Bill: We have to admit that we don’t really listen to that much music when we are so into our own stuff. When you are making music the whole time, like right now we are running a set or two sets every day which means we play almost 42 songs. By the end of a session like that you are so tired of listening to music because you are concentrating on your own for so long. I also think the new Ellie Goulding song is very good.

Question #3 from Elizabeth Joseph: How long did Georg and Gustav know each other before meeting the twins?

Georg: It was not too long, it was like a year or something. We just clicked.
Tom: And it clicked especially when they saw us together in the club, like they wanted to join our band so bad! [Laughs]

Question #4 from Whitney: Which of your new songs are you most excited to perform live?

Bill: I think now that we are into rehearsals, the opening of the show is going to be great. I don’t want to give away which song that is! [Laughs] I really think “Stormy Weather” will be great live.
Gustav: I think “Masquerade” will be really good to play live.
Bill: “The Heart Get No Sleep” is going to be cool too.

Question #5 from @TokioHotelFans: What can the fans expect from the new live show and tour?

Bill: Now that we are in the process we are excited to finally share the record with people. It’s like performing it in front of people, you can see them and see how much they enjoy it.
Tom: They can expect a lot! We tried to fit a great production into small venues and we are going to bring a lot of new stuff to the tour. It’s going to be a really special show. We wanted to create something that’s not been done before.
Bill: So we tried a lot of things, we tried using a lot of different instruments that we are not used to playing; keys and piano. There is so much programming and processing and new technique that goes into the show that we have never done before. I don’t think anyone has done before! We have great lighting and video production, just a completely new concept that we’re really excited to share with our fans.
Tom: It’s a real project, it’s a project for us as well you know. Especially putting the music together and transporting that onto stage and using the different sounds in a fresh way. There are a lot of technical aspects in there and we have to rely on it as well, so we will have to see how it goes!

Question #6 from Shabnam Zareen: I am an ‘Alien’ from Bangladesh, would you ever come to my country?

Tom: I want to go there for sure!
Bill: I would love to! This year we are going to travel the whole world, we want to play everywhere so maybe we will go to Bangladesh!


The ‘Feel It All’ World Tour kicks off next week, 6th March, in London UK, tickets are limited but you could still grab some for London, Paris, Barcelona and Germany!

Interview With Bill Kaulitz - "Tokio Hotel is my reason for being..." - Dream'Up #special/2007 [France]

"Tokio Hotel is my reason for being..."
How would you describe your rockstar’s life? 
Bill: The first image coming to my mind is like a hurricane mixing excitement, joy and stress. Being on stage, meeting fans or playing on TV shows, every events bring a big dose of adrenaline. I live life like on a fast highway… and I enjoy every second with a full intensity.
What’s the privilege you like the most in your life? 
Bill: The international succes of Tokio Hotel allows me to travel all around the world. Yesterday in Italy, today in France, tomorrow in Russia… I go from discoveries to discoveries. It’s a fascinating part of my job.
And what’s the constraint you would like to avoid? 
Bill: Tokio Hotel is my reason to live. I give everything for the band. So my private life became almost non existent. Moments shared with my people get more and more rare everyday.
Is fame easy to live with? 
Bill: Tokio hotel’s succes was so sudden. Nobody expected such a warm welcome. From one day to the other, we were everywhere on the magazines. I then discover the grisly mechanism of Tabloids… so many lies, rumors, fake photos appeared on the press. I confess now that the first 6 months were a terrible time to go through. It me took some time to get used to all this.
Did you manage to cut the rumors off? 
Bill: Once I’d gone through the rebellion phase and the “I want to break everything” phase, I ended up understanding that there wasn’t any point of fighting against those liars and it was pointless to even try to tell the truth because as soon as a denial was published, a new rumor was coming to set a new scandal… In the end, I know that avoiding the gossip was the best weapon to keep me from suffering. I know that now.
Did you ever loose control in front of a paparazzi? 
Bill: I’m lucky enough to be surrounded by some very discouraging bodyguards. (laughs)! And nobody ever bothered me… yet. But if one of them ever try to approach me a little too close, I’m not sure i’ll be able to keep my calm. I could totally end up fighting him.
If you could be a normal person for a week-end, what would you do? 
Bill: I’ll bring all my family and my friends and altogether we would hang out in town. We could have lunch on the terrasse of a restaurant on a place where people passes by just so I could appreciate the joy of being anonymous… Then we would go to the movies and then in an amusement parc, I love scary, fast rollercoasters. I would also love to go to New York. I’d love discovering this magical city.
What’s the most important aspect of your character? 
Bill: I’m a very independant person. When i was a little boy, I’d always make my own way, without asking anyone. I’ve always run after autonomy. Earning life, ensure my future, taking care of me, only counting on myself… I’ve always lived with this philosophy.
Do you easily give your trust? 
Bill: The life i’m living doesn’t allow me to build strong relationships. You always need a little time to figure out what kind of person is in front of you and as I never stay in a place more than 3 days in a row, I don’t have time to get if people I meet can be trusted or not. So I can count on one hand the persons I really trust.
To who do you tell your little secrets? 
Bill: 2 persons know everything about me: Tom, my twin brother and Andreas, my best friend. I have sympathy and respect for a lot of people like good friends or some professionnal relationships but I always keep a certain distance.
When you’re in love, do you have the tendancy to hide your feelings? 
Bill: Well it depends on the situation… If I fall for a girl I think I have 0 chance with, I won’t say anything. I still have my pride. (smile). But if the feelings are mutual, I open my heart without restriction. I’m not afraid to say “I love you”.
What kind of lover are you?
Bill: I’m caring, passionated, possessive, incredibly romantic too. When I’m in love, it’s always fusional. I need to be next to my love every second, feeling her against me, sharing everything with her. Unfortunately, I haven’t lived this joy for 2 years.
What’s your main seduction’s asset? 
Bill: I’m a very open person, I always go talk to people in a very spontaneous way, without manners. This ease with contact always please people.
What’s your technique to get what you want? 
Bill: When I really care about something, it’s very easy: I only think and talk about it until I get what I want. (laughs). A little bit like a child, I act all sweet and nice to wheedle people. Works like a charm!
Sometimes, you must get some ‘nos’… 
Bill: Careful, i’m really stubborn, If I get a “no”, I can insist during days and days in hope to get satisfaction. Sometimes I confess I get some foursquare refusal… and then I’m vexed and in a terrible mood… (smile)
What’s the worst advice you ever get? 
Bill: There’re many. I remember one of my friend who I was shopping with. He had succeed in convincing me to buy a jacket he found “terrific”. That jacket was in reality a cheap peel, like a disgusting colorful wig… I don’t know what’s got into me this day, I was probably in the middle of my teenage crisis and I was missing bearings… (laughs)
Adolescence… what memories do you have about it? 
Bill: Well during puberty, between the pimple and the physical changings, you don’t feel very well. I remember my style was ridiculous, my clothes hideous, my hair was a catastrophy and my love experiences were a disaster. Adolescence is a phase when you look for yourself and you try so many things before really finding you.
At 17, you’re already out of it? 
Bill: Life with the band put me straight in the adult world. I had to solve problems without the help of my parents and had to face unusual responsabilities for a boy my age. Without really realising it, I left the adolescence world a little early. Nevertheless, it doesn’t keep me from doing rather foolish stuff and acting like a real kid somtimes.
What kind of foolish stuff are you talking about? 
Bill: Little everyday stuff… too foolish to talk to you about… I wouldn’t like to embarras the others. Tom, Gustav & Georg wouldn’t forgive me if I did some revelations... (winks)

Interview With Gustav Schäfer - "I've made the right choices..." - Dream'Up #special/2007 [France]


"I've made the right choices..."
Behind his sulky look, Gustav is actually hiding a captivating and appreciable personality. Beside his band’s friend, the young drummer savours today the delight of his success. A success built around his passion for music and friend ship.
Is the success of Tokio Hotel your best reward? 
Gustav: Yes, I’m really glad to see our efforts crowned this way. I believe that I’ve made the right choices. Drums came into my life when I was 5, and I’ve spend all my energy for it. When all the kids of the neighbourhood were playing outside, I was alone, in my room, playing drums for hours. I was made for that, I was sure of that.
The day I’ve noticed Bill & Tom rehearsing in a shed in Magdeburg seven years ago, I kind of had a revelation. I knew my fate would be to play with them. And I wasn’t wrong.
Could this success make your head spinning? 
Gustav: I’m playing music by passion not to bright under the spotlights. Audience's ovations and rewards make me feel really happy, but as soon as the curtain is down, my lucidity's back. Play on stage or on a television stage need great concentration. If I lost my seriousness and my discipline, I would not play correctly.
Are the other members so strict? 
Gustav: We all have very different characters, but we are sharing the same ambition and determination for work. As we've made our first steps on stage together, we know how many efforts we have to make to get success. None of us is planning to rest and each of us is doing something to stay high performance.
People say you're perfectionist...
Gustav: With me, everything has to be perfectly settled. I never leave place for improvisation, even for some small details. For example, I systematically put my drums and stool in a extremely precise place of the stage, always the same place. If someone tried to move them, even a centimeter, I could be really cross ! Except my assistant, no one is allowed to approach my drums.
Not even Bill? 
Gustav: Not at all! He has already suffered my anger, so he even doesn't dare sitting on my stool. When you are in a band, you have to follow some rules to respect the freedom of each one. If not, tensions can soon arrive...
Are there any crisis in your band? 
Gustav: It happens, but that is really rare. I'm pretty touchy, so I often get excited very quickly. I shout, I get off of my nerves et finally I disappear a moment. When I'm back, I'm calm again, and everything is forgotten.
What is the last example? 
Gustav: A few hours before a gig, I was checking the series of some particularly fast paces. The exercise was pretty difficult and I had to get some heating to get over it... Then Georg, Tom and Bill came into the room and exclaimed all together: "Hey, your stuff isn't very good ..." My touchiness came out and I immediately got excited and cross.
Have you already think about stopping everything? 
Gustav: Leave the band at any moment would me a terrible lack of professionalism and most of all, an unforgivable mistake. Our few bad moods or quarrels never get on our band's progress, that's a basic principle. That's why, when I vanish before a gig to get calm down, Tom, Bill and Georg know that I'll be back smiling and calmed down, half an hour before the gig.
Would you prefer to be more highlighted?
Gustav: I'm naturally a unobtrusive guy. Thats why, I like to be set back from the stage. Unlike Bill, I would be unable to be constantly under every one's eyes... That's not my thing, even if I appreciate my small glory moments. [laughs] At the end of every gig, when Bill & Co have left the stage, I come back to harangue the audience and make a giant ole. And this little ritual bring me lot of satisfaction...
Do you lack self confidence? 
Gustav: I have, that's true, kind of a reserve facing people, neither from fear, nor from embarrassment. Let's say I'm more an introvert. Besides that trait brings me mockeries from my family and friends who believe I'm a squeezed and sulky boy. [Smile]
Are you that grouchy and bad tempered? 
Gustav: I have to say yes, I'm pretty grouchy, even sulky. One squint word, an ironic remark, and I'm sulking. I know that is a character flaw, that's already a good beginning....Now I have the heavy task to correct that! [Laughs]
Were you a loner teenager?
Gustav: Overwhelmed by complex, I was a very unsociable kid, always at a distance from other kids....
Did you have reasons to feel bad? 
Gustav: Life hasn't always been tender with me, particularly when I was a teenager...[Laughs] First, I've always been pretty small, when I was in 9th Grade, I was only about 1.19 meter...[grimace] Then, I had horrible skin problems. As soon as school was over, I ran to shut myself up in my room praying for god not to meet someone I know. I was so ashamed! Inevitably all these complex pushed me to be lonely and didn't help me to get over my shyness.
Did you get over your old complex? 
Gustav: At a time I was thinking I would never grow up, I suddenly had thrust of grow up, and in a few months I was 1.70 meter. As for spots, they finally vanished after several treatments. Step by step, I won more self confidence. Today, I feel very good and don't hesitate to have fun about those old demons! [wink]
What importance do you give to people's look? 
Gustav: Younger, I have suffered a lot from other's look. Fortunately, with time, I learned to ignore sarcastic remarks and I felt more and more comfortable. Now, I don't care about what others think about me. I advise that to everyone by the way!
Is your look like important for you?
Gustav: Leaving most of the time with Bill & Tom, I have made some progress for that. Besides I had to! [Laughs] Before, I could wear anything, like that ridiculous T Shirt I brought from a trip to Val Thorens [Ski Station, France] with a cow wearing skis! When I came to rehearsing with that T shirt, I provoked general hilarity. Georg, Tom and Bill still laugh about it today. Since that, I am more careful to what I'm wearing, I'm even more flirtatious...
What qualities do chicks like in you? 
Gustav: I maybe look like grouchy at first look, but by scraping a bit, I'm actually very nice and funny. People also say I'm courteous, tidy and an excellent cook...

Interview With Georg Listing - "I've had a very liberal education!" - Dream'Up #special/2007 [France]


"I've had a very liberal education!"
Son of a good family, Georg was raised by parents who never set restrictions. He cleverly applied this freedom to music, his greatest passion. Such was the point of departure of his fabulous adventure with the band Tokio Hotel...
How did music come into your life?
Georg: At my house, music reigned. My parents, both doctors, didn't play any instruments, but they had a real passion for rock. My father, in particular, had an impressive collection of albums. He knew the classics such as Eric Clapton, the Beatles, or the Rolling Stones by heart. Thanks to him, I had the chance to go to some legendary concerts. The musical universe has always fascinated me.
Is Tokio Hotel your first band?
Georg: Not exactly. In middle school, I wanted to start a band with two of my friends. In the end, the project fell through. Then I came across Gustav in Magdeburg's music conservatory. We played in the same orchestra, him on the drums and me playing bass. A little bit afterwards, we met Bill and Tom and eventually founded Devilish, our first band...
What was in your repertoire?
Georg: A mix of pop, rock, and metal, we started off a little in every sense [a little bit of everything?]...At the time, we were just four kids who were passionate but unskilled(laughs)! I have excellent memories of our beginnings regardless. Even if there was nobody listening to us, on our part, we believed in ourselves like iron , and we fooled around like maniacs.
How did you get past the obstacle of amateurism?
Georg: The meeting in 2004 with our producers and composers, Peter Hoffman, Pat Benzer, Dave Roth, and David Jost, was the deciding factor. They believed in our talent and gave us the means of recording a great album, Schrei. Still, we never would have been able to work with a team like that if we hadn't endlessly kept performing to get noticed. We were lucky, it's true, but we also knew how to bring it about.
What's the philosophy of the group?
Georg: The Tokio Hotel adventure rests on two fundamentals: passion for music and friendship. We take pleasure in playing together, both for ourselves and for our public. In this sense, our philosophy can be summed up by the famous Latin saying "Carpe Diem," which means "seize the day."
What are your future projects?
Georg: We're not in the habit of planning the life of the band in advance. Plus, things go so quickly for us that everything is totally unpredictable! For example, how could we have imagined sparking such a craze in France? In fact, the decisions concerning the band are made as we go along. We act according to events and the demands of our public.
Is it still too early to talk of a third album?
Georg: At the moment, we're concentrating our efforts on the European promotion of our second album, Zimmer 483, and the English version of our first work, Scream. Plus, as far as I'm concerned, I would like to have a bit of vacation before moving onto anything else (smiles)...But, who knows, maybe things will come about on their own one more time?
Exactly what kind of bonds link Bill, Tom, Gustav, and you?
Georg: On a strictly professional plane, there is a lot of esteem and respect among us. On a more personal plane, our collaboration is perfect. We're not a band from a reality TV show or pre-made. We share a real history of friendship that already goes back seven years. We were kids when we men - I was 14, Gustav was 13, and Bill and Tom were only 12! This mutual past creates strong and authentic ties [bonds] between us.
Tom loves to tease you interviews - do you sometimes take offense?
Georg: (smiles)...It's true, Tom has a knack for cracking jokes about me in front of journalists. I find it rather amusing. It's even become a game between us, and we both get something out of it. On his part, by joking about my little weaknesses, he diverts the attention and avoids talking about his own. And on my part, I like his [this?] way of relaxing the atmosphere.
Does he sometimes go overboard?
Georg: Tom is lucky - I'm very patient (laughs)! With respect to unpleasant things that could bother me, they go in one ear and out the other. I have my faults, but being touchy [sensitive] isn't one of them.
What's your best trait?
Georg: People seem to appreciatemy control and level head. Whatever the situation, I stay calm and keep control of my emotions. But I also know that my impassiveness [nonchalance] annoys certain people...
On the edge of the group, is there still time for yourself?
Georg: It's necessary for my stability [balance] to be able to share moments with my family and people close to me. Besides, in the group, we all need our free time, to simply take a break from work. Also, when we return to Magdeburg for a few days, each person goes off on his own. Me, I see my buddies and my brother, I go to the movies, and I forget everything else.
Who would you ask for advice?
Georg: I make all my decisions alone, without consulting anybody, not even my parents. My mother was the one who taught me to go through life according to my own instincts, even if I make mistakes...I've had a very liberal education where nothing was forbidden. My mom always wanted to let me experiment with things myself, both the good and the bad. She was convinced that I would learn from my mistakes myself.
How did you celebrate your 20th birthday?
Georg: The night of my birthday, March 31, we gave a concert in Poland. I had a very private little party a few days afterward...
What present would please you the most?
Georg: I dream of a very beautiful sports car, like a convertible Lamborghini (smiles)...
You have luxurious taste...
Georg: I admit that I appreciate beautiful things and comfort. Since I have the means to taste luxury, why deprive myself?
What are your vacation plans for this summer?
Georg: I expect to invite my family and my best friend to a paradisiacal [heavenly] place where I can practice scuba diving and golf to my heart's content.
Coup De Coeur (soft spot)
In his mind, Georg considers Fergie, the singer for the Black Eyed Peas, to be one of the sexiest celebrities. He declares himself bewitched by her irresistible sex appeal. The young man acknowledges that he just has a penchant for sexy girls in general. At parties, Georg is rarely unaffected by the appeal of swaying hips on the dance floor...

Interview With Tom Kaulitz - "I love Excess of a Rock Star's Life!" - Dream'Up #special/2007 [France]


"I love Excess of a Rock Star's Life! "

Self confident, brilliant guitarist, insatiable seducer, Tom play the image of the rock star in all his splendor. Through Tokio Hotel's adventure, the young artist blossoms fully in his exciting life and realises his bigger dream. 

What summer holidays make you think about? 

Tom: I think straight away about a distant island, sun, beautiful beach, turquoise water, long time naps....That is a pretty lovely programm. 

A flirtless summer, is that possible? 

Tom: As far as I can think about, I can't remember a summer without going out with one or several chicks ! [Smile] With Bill, we were used to spend our holidays in some giant touristic places, on the spanish coast for example. There are so much pretty young ladies in that kind of place that it wasn't difficult to seduce some...[Wink] 

Could a summer love last beyond holidays? 

Tom: To my point of view, summer is made for having fun and take everything with thoughtlessness, above all love ! In a hot atmosphere, far from home, we are relaxed, open to others, we feel free because we know that at the end of the holidays, each of us will get back home. So, I don't believe a summer love could last. In any case, it has never happened for me. 

Do you believe in girl-boy friendship? 

Tom: In theory, nothing prevent a girl and a boy to have only friend relations. But, I admit that those kind of relation can easily get broken....In general, on of the 2 friends falls in love with the other one and hope their friendship will move into a love story. That's why girl-boy friendship is always ambiguous. 

Have you ever comfort a good female friend in order to seduce her? 

Tom: No, Never ! In any case, not deliberatly.. I hate manipulating people, all the more if it is a friend in distress...

Could you forgive a betrayal? 

Tom: It depends on who did the betrayal... I think I would be able to forgive the 3 people I love the most : Bill, my brother, Simone, my mother, and Andreas my bestfriend. To other people, I would not have any compassion and would not give a second chance. 

Are you resentful? 

Tom: Yes, clearly ! I always avenge when I think I have to... 

Could you give an example? 

Tom: In junior High, I have more than once settle up with some guys. I was a very unruly student, always there for bad blows... Some scrapleless students didn't mind to report me to the head teacher. I've got my revenge for that on them... I don't like sneaks ! 

In what kind of bad blows have you been involved?

Tom: Oh, nothing very mean.. I was just a unruly student, not a criminal. I did make some small stupidities to provoke my teachers, for example, pour out some ink on teacher's chairs, put some glue on door's handles, or draw some graffiti on tables...

What is to do to make you feel hurt?

Tom: Usually, I accept critisism pretty well, except when it is told behing my back. I prefer to be said those critics in front of me. I don't think I'm particularly touchy. I need a lot of critics to get hurt. But Bill is an expert for that. [Laughs] As he knows where my weakness is, he knows what to say to hurt me and get me out of my nerves...
2nd Page 

Which situation makes you feel really cross? 

Tom: I don't stand being interrupted during a discussion without expressing myself. When, for example, we're talking about Tokio Hotel's stuff, if one of us get ouf of the room before the end of our discussion, I often get mad and cross! [Laughs] 

What character flaw don't you bear in the band? 

Tom: The energieless of Georg is really driving me crazy ! And it's a lazy guy talking ! [Laughs] It's true that I like sometimes to wake up very late, and to drag myself around...But Georg, he is just like always hibernating ! Wherever we are, even if there are many stuff to do, and to discover, Georg prefer to sleep...

What is your best quality? 

Tom: My self confidence, I think. It let me make progress in my life without asking myself thousands questions. That is also reassuring for the others. Rub shoulders with a self confident guy is comfortable... That's why, my family and friends don't hesitate to ask me for their problems. I like to play that adviser role. [Smile] 

Are you comfortable with success? 

Tom: As soon as the first hours a bit unnerving of public life past, I have quicly find my marks. Contact with crowd, close connection with fans, relation with journalists...just some exciting moments. I love excitement, stress and all the excess of a rock star's life ! 

What other profession could you have choose? 

Tom: Music is my bigger passion, my big kid dream... Today, I have the chance to realise that dream in the best conditions. I'm waking up with music and going to sleep with music. I'm playing in front of a great audience everywhere in Europe. I just can't imagine to do something else now...

Do you have star's whims? 

Tom: No, that's neither my style, nor the style of Bill, G & G. None of us have weird demands. Some sodas, crips, pizzas on a table is enough to satisfy us. We let those eccentric whims and limo processions for american stars ! 

What is your relaxation fantasy? 

Tom: I like to imagine myself with my family and friends, lying on a lawn in a park of the city, drinking beer, looking at the sky...simply that. I don't need a lot to feel happy : friends, a piece of nature, something to drink, and that's it.
