Bill – Rollingstone

I really love year-end when Tokio Hotel is showing up everywhere. And this year? They are being noticed in America with some pretty heavy hitters. Rolling Stone.com? Best Live Performance Shots? Oh HELL yes.

We are all going to pretend they wrote Kaulitz instead of Kraulitz though, okay? Okay.

Gérard Depardieu

In an inteview, Gérard Depardieu was asked about Tokio Hotel. He spoke highly of them. Thanks to purplehaze from TH USA Fanclub forum. for translation. If you do not know who Gérard Depardieu is, you can find out more on the Wiki.

Interview to Depardieu:
In previous years, you were often seen in major European television productions like “Der Graf von Monte Christo” or “Napoleon”.

But something like that is increasingly rare. A kind of industrial handling has entered the field of the film industry, that’s terrible. This development has also affected television. Big cross-country projects such as “Napoleon” are no more, now all that is dead, but we must not lose hope. Take the music for example, there’s a lot going on. The young French are crazy about the German band Tokio Hotel. I find that extraordinary. And it doesn’t matter whether one finds the music silly or not.

What do you think about Tokio Hotel?

I think, we should never look down on the apostle of teenagers. Tokio Hotel sing in German, and there are many young French, who now learn German only because of Tokio Hotel.

The Goethe Institute in Paris reported recently a rush to its German courses, as a result of the mania around Tokio Hotel.

There you are! That’s great, because there’s something going on. For young people that are those moments that change their life. And that confuses the adults. The chef of one of my restaurants has a daughter who is crazy about Tokio Hotel. And that scares him. I always try to reassure him: “Let them, that’s good, this way they learn German.”

Feat. hiding Gustav

Tokio Hotel is love.

And so is this video. This was the most pleasant 1:20 of my day so far. So, I am sharing with you, thanks to the youtuber who made this.

Making of Schrei Video

Translation for this thanks to thchannel on youtube… this is the video for “The Making of Schrei”. How much do you wish YOU were there that day? It would be amazing. My favorite part? “Ich bin Bill.” Heehee.

Bill: Hello, good afternoon! I’m Bill and we’re here at the place we’re recording our new single Schrei.
Producer: At Tokio Hotel’s website we’ve made an appeal that we needed people to play in the music video of Schrei. And we’ve received tons of mail, they’ve written to us from all places, they’re more than happy to travel here at own costs just to be here. Some of them sent extremely sweet letters, but you just can’t answer all of them. I stopped looking at them after I’ve read about 1500 of them.

Director: Hi I’m Zoran Bihao and I’m the director of Tokio Hotel’s new video.
Guy: We have to do one more light-check inside and then we’ll get you in and start.
Director: It’s some sort of bungalow, it’s about to be pulled down I’m afraid. An old bungalow from the sixties. We’re just going to have a light party here, with the wild youngsters over there… Those are the instruments that can be demolished. Hopefully Bill will crowdsurf over here, get op there, sing a bit and get back again. I guess it’ll look more convincing when it’s filled with 75 teenagers.
Producer: It’s like… the parents are gone and the band just invites their friends for a party at with of course the house will get seriously damaged.
Director: It’ll be like some people from here (the party) made a short movie about it.
…
Director: We’ll do it three times.
Tom: It’s about freeing yourself from a certain situation, so we thought it fitted very well to just start recording without a planning.
Bill: People where standing on these stairs and performed, they did very well.
Director: I didn’t want to tell Tokio Hotel nor their friends, what they had to do. I didn’t want it to be artificial. Some things were planned, but I’ve always kept enough room for the people to make it their own.
Georg: The people did very well. We were afraid that in the beginning it’d be a bit fake, but they played along perfectly from the beginning.
Tom: It was a good selection, they really created an atmosphere.
…
Tom: Well, I think live concerts are much better; you immediately see the crowd’s reaction; it’s an entirely different feeling.
Bill: Well, in our practice-room we also have parties from time to time, so this isn’t that different…

Girl: I think the music is cool, and especially their career; they just believed in it and really did it; they’re living their dream. I think that’s great.

Tom: Well, we always wanted to be recognised in the street, so now it’s really great feeling.

Guy: Yes, well, I’ve known them from… yeah, very small; devilish.
Girl: Tom is cool
Girl: Bill is cool

Georg: We weren’t expecting this immediate success. I mean, we’re newcomers and… I don’t know… It’s just a rocket that went up by itself (?)

Bill: I’m very, very glad I don’t have to clean this up…
Gustav: I was like; What was that? It was a little surprise. No, it wasn’t planned.
Voice: Now go crazy!
