Tom confirms Viagra Story

I will keep updating this post as subtitled videos come in, but for now, here is a translation for you to read. Thank you very much to Herzblut for the translation. And… hold on to your seats, this is going to be an interesting ride.

They are all just about 20 years old but they almost reached the retirement age though. Tokio Hotel – big acclaimed teen-stars, but now they’re fighting for their career. Their current European tour wasn’t sold out. By now they get competition from younger stars like the 16-years-old Justin Bieber. At the Comet award show on Friday, the old and new teen-idols came together. Who won the fight about as much recognition from the fans as possible and what was going on there, Eva Kreuz and Simon Eigner are reporting:

For the first time Tom from Tokio Hotel talks about his love-doping.

Tom: “I bought Viagra, yes.”

Reporter: “Did you consume it, too?”

Tom: “I consumed it, yes.”

Sex, drugs & Rock’n’Roll, the main point is too stay a hot topic, because the fight of the teen-stars is hard.”

Senna (Monrose): “It’s always a rivalry but I’m sure that rivalry keeps you alive.”

A fight about fame and success – everybody against everybody, tighter, lower, everything is allowed at the Comet award show 2010.

Tokio Hotel are back. The appearance at the Comet is their first public date since their Asia tour, and if it’s up to their fans, Bill & Co are still the number 1.

Bill: “I have to say, it’s still a great feeling everytime. Well, absolutely. Because we’re living here, our home country, and that’s cool.”

Since 5 years they belong to the upper league, Tokio Hotel are almost the pensioners on the Red Carpet. There’s already younger competition like the 16-years-old Justin Bieber, who got famous through the internet. With him there’s already the younger generation of the teen-stars at the ready.

Justin Bieber: […]

Everybody tries to find a niche in the teen branch.

Detlef D! Soost: “I think when you’re starting your career and you have very young fans, like Justin Bieber or also Tokio Hotel, who are already growing out of it, it’s hard to keep your fans and getting new target groups.”

Senna (Monrose): “For Tokio Hotel it’s very hard now because they’re also famous internationally and they’re also successful there. And I think to do justice to everything is a very big pressure.”

Volker Neumüller: “Between the age of 12 and 18 the tastes are changing very fast and what you found cool yesterday, is suddenly not cool.”

So Justin Bieber for example gets marketed very cleanly, without scandals, a “One-boy-boygroup”, everything is planned in the minutest detail, also the appearance on the Red Carpet.

Justin Bieber: […]

If a slick image guarantees success for many years? Tokio Hotel have been proving staying power since many years. A highlight after another, also privately, like on their tour in Asia, and so you stay a hot topic.

Tom: “I bought Viagra, yes.”

Reporter: “Did you consume it, too?”

Tom: “I consumed it, yes.”

Reporter: “You tried it?”

Tom: “But the difference is.. the thing is that people always talking about it so terribly because it always sounds like an accident or something. You don’t want an accident to happen once more, but I can’t exclude it, to be honest.”

Revolverheld: “Actually it’s a pity if you have to take it already in this age.”

Gabriella (Queensberry): “His penis is still growing, so please!”
Leo (Queensberry): “They’re rockstars, so they’re allowed to do that.”

Reporter: “How long did it last?”

Tom: “Uhm… I actually can’t really tell that. But it was very very long. But it was also quite good in between.”

Tokio Hotel won in the category “Best Liveact” – their way of revenge to all critics who claim that their latest European tour was a flop because it wasn’t sold out.

Bill: “Many other bands would be happy wbout it if they could perform in front of 12.000 people in Paris, and yeah.. such being the case, well.. it depends on how you see it. We are absolutely happy about the tour.”

And Tokio Hotel as “Oldies” showed the next generation of teen-stars how to keep your success in the branch, like Scooter […]

[…]

While Justin Bieber rather stays away from scandals and the aftershow party, Tokio Hotel came late at night, they celebrated in a separated section. If you could believe Scooter (band in Germany), it’s the right way for a long-lasting career, even beyond the teenie-target-group.

They’re just 20 years old and almost already reached the retirement age in the music business. Tokio Hotel are highly acclaimed teen idols and now they’re fighting for their career. Their current europe tour wasn’t sold out. Between Tokio Hotel and Justin Bieber has started something like a competition. At the comet awards last friday, there was a meeting between the old and young teen idols.

For the first time Tom talks exclusive about his love-doping.
“I’ve bought viagra, yes.”
“And consumed?”
“And I also consumed.”

Sex, drugs and rock’n’roll – the main point: to gain some attention, because the battle of teen stars is hard.

Senna (Monrose) “There’s always a battle between stars, but that also keeps you alive.”

A battle about success and fame. Everyone against everyone, tighter, lower, everything is allowed. Welcome to the comet awards 2010.

Tokio Hotel are back. The appearance at the comet is their first public appearance since their asia tour. And when you listen to their fans, Tokio Hotel are still the number 1.

Bill “I have to say that it always feel good. Of course! Especially because we live here, it’s our home and that’s really cool.”

Since 5 years they belong to the first league. Tokio Hotel are almost the retired people at the red carpet. The younger teen stars next to Tokio Hotel are wanting some attention, too, like the 16 years old Justin Bieber who got famous through the internet. He’s the new generation of teen stars.

Justin Bieber “I wouldn’t say that I’m a teen star. But when you want, then I am.”

Everybody is trying to get a place in the teen sector.

Detlef Soost “I think it is very difficult when you begin in a young age and also have a young fandom like Justin Bieber or Tokio Hotel, who slowly but surely grow out of their role. It’s difficult to keep the young fans but also to get new fans who are older.”

Senna (Monrose) “In Tokio Hotels case it’s difficult, because they’re also having international success. I think to fulfill all standards a huge impact.”

Volker Neumüller “Between 12 and 18 the taste of music changes. You develop yourself and change and something you thought is cool and great one day ago, maybe becomes very uncool.”

Justin Bieber plays the role of the clean and sober boy without scandals, a one boy boygroup. Everything is planned into the last little detail. Also the appearance at the red carpet.

Interviewer “Where do you see yourself in 5 years?”
Justin Bieber “I don’t know. I’m living the moment right now.”

If a clean image brings the wanted success? Tokio Hotel have got since years a career with stamina. One highlight is followed by another, for example with their private life at the asia tour. That brings attention.

Tom “I’ve bought viagra, yes.”
Interviewer “And consumed?”
Tom “I also consumed yes.”
Interviewer “Just tried?”
Tom “But the thing is that people talk bad about it, because it sounds like an accident or something. Because when an accident happens you don’t want that it happens again. And I can’t exclude that, to be honest.”

Revolverheld “It’s sad when you need to do it in such an age. ”

Queensberry “His penis is still growing , so please…”

Atzen “Maybe he shouldn’t get those in Taiwan, he should get the REAL viagra pills. Maybe there was too much inside the pills he took.”

Queensberry “They are rockstars. They can do it.”

Interviewer “For how many days did it last?”
Tom “Ehm, I can’t tell. But for sure very very long, which also was very good.”

Tokio Hotel win in the category best live act. That’s their revange to all reviewer who said their europe tour was a flop, because it wasn’t sold out.

Bill “Many other bands would be happy to play in Paris in front of 12.000 fans. And well, it depends on how you see it. We are very very happy with our tour.”
