Tokio Hotel & moment of truth

Truth …about career and success:

Have you ever been in Finland before?
What kind of image do you have about the country and the Finnish girls?
Tom: unfortunately we have never been to Finland before, but we are really looking forwards to get in there.
Bill: It’s always nice to get in some new country the first time, and get to know some Finnish girls and fans and also play live to them.

How do you deal with all the gossip about you?
Tom: It depends about the situation. We’ve had to get used to them, so it’s everyday thing to us. Maybe even 85% about all the things what are in the magazines are not truth. But generally speaking usually they are nothing bad about us so it’s ok. Furthermore I like to gossip other peoples too. (laughs)

Are you still nervous to go on stage?
Bill: Yes. We are all really nervous before concert – we are the most stage frightened band in the world. We probably never get rid of it. I shake, and can’t breath when I go on stage. I also think all the horrible things through. It of course isn’t bad thing, but I hope, that we’ll learn some day, how to be not that nervous, that I’ll won’t have a heart attack.

Has the success changed your personalities?
Gustav: We haven’t really changed in seven years, because we always pull each others down from stratospheres, if the success has started to get in our heads.

Do people usually lie to you that they don’t know you, that they’d get to talk to you?
Tom: Indeed. Usually people came and say: “Oh, I didn’t know it was you, I just wanted to get to know you.” Off course I always right away understand that it’s a lie, but I don’t let it bother the situation.

Bill, you are more in the spotlight than the others, does that make any bitternes or argue between you?
Bill: There are never any bitterness. I’m the singer, so it’s normal, that I’m the most on the spotlight. It’s like that in most of the bands, and in our band it have been like that for seven years already. I even believe that it’s ok, for the others, because it’s off course a lot more stressful to be always on spotlight. And as example, usually people recognize me the easiest in the streets. I’m sure, that all of us are satisfied wit their roles in the band, because they are equal in the band.

… about family and friends

As a famous, can you make new friendships, or is there always a risk to get used?
Georg: Real friendships are really difficult to make in these days. At least it would take really long time, before we’d really could trust to that person.
Bill: It’s difficult even to answer in this question, because we really don’t even get to know new people entirely.

Who’s the most important person in your life Tom?
Tom: I have two most important persons: my mother and brother.

How your parents react for that fact that you are famous?
Bill: Really well. They have always supported us and I’m happy, that I have so good terms with them. Especially our mother has always given us free hands to do what ever we’ve wanted to. We could start to play music in very young age and we could dress like we wanted to. So we made our dreams truth like we wanted, and we didn’t need to hide anything from our parents. They are really happy for our success and they support us, which is very important, because we’re on to go every day. We trust each others completely.

… love

Have you ever been in love, Bill?
- I’ve been in love many times, but unfortunately I haven’t yet found the love of my life.

Are you in relationship or singles?
-We all are singles.

Could you ever imagine to fall in love with a Finnish fan?
Off course I could. It’s what ever for me, where my dream girl comes from. And it would even be really good it she is a fan, because mates should have same interests -so then we’d have already same taste of music, and that would be already a very good start.

…weekdays and morals

How do you spend your free time?
Gustav: if we are on tour and we have a day off, we relax. At first we sleep long, about to 5 or 6pm, and then we usually watch tv.

Bill, what read in the last text message you received, and from who it was?
“You will be picked up at 11.30” it came from our tour manager.

Georg, what would you change in your self?
Georg: Nothing, I even couldn’t get any more muscles(laughs).
Bill: I’d at least put Georg to diet, I’d cut his nose smaller and tie his ears closer to his head. Then he’d bee already a lot better (laughs).

Bill, when did you cry last time, and why?
-In the near past I haven’t been sad, so I think, last time was in the tour. We were so happy, so I cried for a joy.

Tom, what have been the worst think you have done to another person?
I don’t know, I’m so absurd nice person (laughs). Oh well, sometimes if Bill brag himself too much I slap him, but he have already get used to it in seventeen years.

What you wouldn’t ever forgive, Gustav?
If I’d have a girlfriend, and she’d cheat on me.

Would you say something to your Finnish fans?
All: Thank you very much for your support and messages. We’ll be soon in Finland and I hope that we can spend a lot of time with you.

How much did you lied during this interview?
Tom: Not at all. We’d more pleasant left for answering in a question than that we’d need to lie.
Bill: Except Georg off course lied on that, that he’d not liked to change anything in him.
Georg: Yeah right, Bill.
