So you were on the way through 14 countries, right?
Tom: It were 17 I believe..
Stefan: 17?
Tom: 17, yes.
Stefan: From France we already heard.
Bill: Yes.
Stefan: The little french girls have a crush on you guys.
Tom: Not we all, .. it’s more like him.. On Georg.
Stefan: Are the others a little pissed off they like you the most?
Bill: A little bit sometimes..You have to say that.
Tom: With the other 3, in the foreign country, they ask what happens to us and so and the other 3 boys have nothing to tell, the fans can tell, because nothing will work with them, actually about me you can make a whole tv total – programm.
Stefan: It’s not only you’re that successful in france, I thought you were at the 2nd place in the album charts?
Bill: Yes.
Stefan: But also in Russia and Poland..
Bill: Yes, we also were just in Italy and so.
Stefan: Yeah I saw that, in Italy you were also with the album in the charts.
Tom: I believe it was the 2nd place too.
Stefan: Madness. But you sing in English or in German?
audience screams.
Yes, it’s good.
Tom: The countries can actually decide, we have the german and english albums released.
Stefan: You have that tattoo new?
Bill: Yeah, relatively..
Stefan: What is it?
Bill: Freiheit[=freedom] 89.
Stefan: Freiheit 89? What does that mean? Or well, Freiheit I know, what does 89 mean?
Bill: Thats my birth year, because I did it to my 18th birthday, and that was very important for us, to be 18…
Stefan: You can’t pass it, right?
Bill: You can’t pass it.
Tom: I don’t believe you want that.
Bill: 18 is super..
Tom: 18 is super, exactly.
Stefan: Do you have a tattoo too?
Tom: No I don’t.
Stefan: You know it won’t go away, right?
Bill: No it won’t go away, that’s true.
Tom: It’d only make it worse. I won’t get my body that stuff[??]You see it at the poster there,too!
Stefan: Exactly. I believe when I was with you in the band, I would pick a more quiet person, you can be more quiet
Georg:relax..
Stefan: -points at Bill- He always has to do his hair every morning and so..
Tom: But the thing is, people believe they don’t need that long, but until he looks like that, it’ll take 4, 5 hours!
Stefan: So how are you under eachother? How long are you together? Since 3 year, right?
Bill: no we are already..
Stefan: … Yeah you exist longer but how long are you famous..?
Bill: 3 years, yeah exactly..
Stefan: Are there discussions? There was a discussion that you’d -points at gustav- get out the band. I’ve read that somewhere..
Gustav: That of course, in magazines everything will pass,
Bill: Always when we don’t release an album or a single we split up.
Georg: Or one dies, that can happen too.
Bill: I read myself a message that I lyed dead in my hotelroom.
Stefan: But you’re alright, I don’t need to worry? Can I look?
Bill:At first he doesn’t realise what Stefan wants to do.We’re fine.
This is the point where Stefan lifts Bill sleeve and looks if he takes drugs..
Bill bursts into laughter.
Stefan: But it’s like that! Especially the bands which are famous that young, it’s the story of the rockmusic, they end really extreme.
Bill: We’re extremely addicted to coffee.
Stefan: And alcohol?
Bill: We are just allowed..
Stefan: You try in the USA too, right?
Bill: We hope so, there’s nothing officially planned, but it’d be cool, of course.
Stefan: But the fans in germany will miss you right?
Audience: YES!!!!!!!!!!!
Bill: But we always return! Just as now, we’re again at your sofa..
Stefan: Do you have pauses or are you to home sometimes?
Bill: We have 4 weeks off now, the first 4 weeks in the whole year.We always have 2 weeks where we can fly away and..
Tom: We look extremely fresh, I think, you don’t see it..
Stefan: Yes, you look totally relaxed. From what you hear from the media you get the feeling you’re today here, tomorrow there and always only in dark backstage wholes and that can be dangerous.
Bill: Yes, from the countries you don’t see that much,most of the time it’s just plane, tourbus, backstageroom, that’s true..
Stefan: Yes and with an interview I heard some rumours you are gay, what’s with that? Or did you already denie it?
Bill: Yes! At RTL already!
Stefan: Who spreads that kind of rumours?
Bill: I believe..
Stefan: .. I kinda get the feeling you do it yourself so once in a couple days there’s something about you in the newspaper!
Bill: Actually we are happy when there’s nothing about us in the newspaper in 2 days! We won’t make it to read everything and so, there’s every day something new..But other than that.. I believe I was drunk after my birthday and than went to a fanforum and than of course..
Stefan: Aha, so of course you wrote: “I am gay.”
Bill:..Yes and unfortunately it came out and it was totally stupid.
Stefan: Yes. Well, we will hear you later..You play today a song from your new single.. I’ll say more about that later. The boys need to go backstage to get ready for their performance but they are directly back, no fear. So, Tokio Hotel go away a while
Bill: Thanks.
