“I hope the stalkers are not planning any other attacks. We will now prosecute not only individual members, but the entire Stalker Gang and through the justice of the court ensure that they can not get near the band or first and foremost, their famlies, ever again.”

So strong is their new album! Bill bubbles from new ideas. It is truly rocking …

Tokio Hotel will be going back into the Studio

Screech! Nix with a vacation by the sea: after their U.S. tour Tokio Hotel dives into the studio in order to slave with their new album that will be released at the beginning of 2009 and which will be rockier.

For the four boys from Magdeburg there is no time to rest. On their U.S. tour they just make the kids in America scream. And after the MTV Awards ceremony in Los Angeles in September, where they are nominated next to Britney Spears for the best video and nominated as best newcomer, it will be home and into the studio.

There is already enough material for the third TH-album. “Bill has been coming with new song ideas for months,” says their manager David Jost. “He uses every spare minute to write songs.”

Tokio Hotel plans to make the record even harder than the previous albums.
“We will be recording the album in both the German and English versions,” says Jost. The German version will be publiced from January to March 2009 and the English one a little later in the United States.

Jost: “There are also some German sung songs on it.”

Christmas should all be ready. Only then may Tokio Hotel have a vacation. Jost: “They will probably fly back to some postcard island.” The last vacation the band spent in the Maldives.

Der Starmacher

He is producer, songwriter and manager of Tokio Hotel. David Jost discovered the band from Magdeburg, built them up and led them to international success. The creative Hamburger is a workaholic always on a tight schedule. Nevertheless the 35-year-old found time for an exclusive yam!-interview and revealed what it takes to be successful as a star over the long run and why will can be more important than talent …

What does it take to become a star?
DAVID: Potential! Most of all a person has to have emotional potential and also enormous will power. If an artist has to offer a lot of both it is very likely that he will succeed.

Does one also succeed having only one of those two?
DAVID: Yes, if this one is highly developed. If one has only talent but not will power he needs to be lucky and find the right people to push him to success. It also works the other way round. Someone with moderate talent but enournous will power and intelligence can be successful as well.

Any examples for that?
DAVID: Madonna! She is not really an extraordinary singer, but she is intelligent. For over 20 years now, she has been one of the top artists worldwide. This is not luck, nobody can be lucky for such a long period. She does not leave anything to chance. Although she performs on stage, she is one of the big players in the music business, one of those people who pull the strings.

What else does it take to become successful and to stay it?
DAVID: One attribute which is also closely connected to willl power is the readiness to make sacrifices to reach one’s goals. For big and long-term success you almost always have to make sacrifices. This does not only apply for the music business. One has to be very lucky and talented to be successful without sacrifieces.

How do you spot a talent?
DAVID: There is no overall rule to this. Most of the time you can feel talent. I generally trust my gut instinct.

And what did your gut feeling tell you, when you saw Tokio Hotel for the first time?
DAVID: I totally went nuts (laughs). It hit me unexpected. At that time I was willing to do anything but work exclusively with one single band. But all my other plans were forgotten when I heard and saw the boys for the first time. Bill was 13 and showed me and my partners the Band-demos, which they had recorded in their tiny studio in Magdeburg. After the boys left I could not stop screaming „Yes“ and „strike“ (grins)

Did you already know, that TH would be internationally successful?
DAVID: No, of course not. I was 100 percent sure, that they would be mega-successful in Germany. I bet the whole music business everything on that. But it would have been very arrogant to assume that there was such an international hype.

What is Tokio Hotel’s recipe for success?
DAVID: The whole music business is full of artists who only succeed because somebody constantly tells them what to do and how to avoid mistakes. One of the reasons why TH are so successful is that they are exactly the contrary.

In how far?
DAVID: To tell Bill what to do against his will – which would be impossible by the way – would make him lose large parts of himself. Bill has to be totally convinced of what he does – to be able to be as good as he can be. Already at very young age he knew exactly what he wants, and even more what he does not want. People can feel this. Bill comprises very large emotional extremes. You rarely find a frontman like this in germany. The star potential of the band is huge. Even if I had no brain, it would have been impossible to blow it (laughs)

Songwriter or Manager – which is more fun?
DAVID: Writing songs is of course more fun. But managing is also a creative and diverse job. I am very lucky that I am able to work for a band I believe in and who blows my mind every day anew. I could not do the job without this.

Are you and Tokio Hotel already working on the third album?
DAVID: We already begun with the songwriting. Bill is very creative at the moment and constantly comes up with new song ideas.

What is the best song that you ever wrote?
DAVID: I have not written that one yet. My best song is still to come (laughs)!

The days before and after his vocal-cord surgery have been one of the hardest times of his life for Tokio Hotel vocalist Bill Kaulitz (18).

But now, after he endured it all well, the following shows: The medically decreed silence contained something good. Since then Bill works almost daily on new songs. “Bill approaches me constantly with new song ideas” reports band-manager David Jost to B.Z. (comment by Starshine: B.Z. is the abbreviation for “Berliner Zeitung”, a newspaper). Particularly the many travels (USA, France, Spain) seem to inspire him.

“When you´re abroad you usually don´t finish the songs, but lots of ideas come into being. You have to dedicate to such a feeling the moment it arises” knows Jost.

Bill writes his lines down on Hotel note paper, into the mobile phone or his laptop. So a lot of material for the new and third album has already been gathered. And one thing is certain: Bill continues to sing in german! That´s no problem for the fans abroad knows Jost. “The main reason for this is that the fans want to get as close as possible to Bill´s identity.Therefore they want to understand the lyrics in german and prefer to hear Bill at concerts in his mother tongue.”

But when the record is going to be produced is not cleared out yet.

Original German
Tokio Bill schreibt fast täglich einen neuen Song
Nach seiner Stimmband-OP fing der Frontman von Deutschlands zurzeit erfolgreichster Band an, am neuen „Tokio Hotel“-Album zu arbeiten

Die Zeit vor und nach seiner Stimmband-OP war für „Tokio Hotel“-Sänger Bill Kaulitz (18 ) eine der schwersten seines Lebens.

Doch jetzt, nach dem er alles gut überstanden hat, zeigt sich: Die ärztlich verordnete Schweigepflicht hatte auch was Gutes. Bill schreibt seitdem fast täglich an neuen Songs. „Bill kommt momentan andauernd mit neuen Songideen auf mich zu“, erzählt Band-Manager David Jost der B.Z.. Vor allem auch die vielen Reisen (USA, Frankreich, Spanien) scheinen ihn zu inspirieren. „Wenn man unterwegs ist, schreibt man die Songs zwar meistens nicht ganz zu Ende, aber es entstehen viele Ideen. Man muss sich so einem Gefühl dann auch direkt widmen, wenn es entsteht“, weiß Jost.

Auf Hotelzettel, ins Handy oder ins Laptop tippt Bill dann seine Zeilen. Jede Menge Stoff fürs neue und damit dritte Album ist so schon zusammengekommen. Und eins steht fest: Bill singt weiter auf Deutsch! Für die Fans im Ausland kein Problem, weiß Jost: „Das liegt hauptsächlich daran, dass die Fans so nah wie möglich an die Identität von Bill ranwollen.
Deswegen möchten sie die Texte auf Deutsch verstehen und deswegen wollen sie Bill auf Konzerten am liebsten in seiner Muttersprache hören.“ Wann die neue Platte produziert wird, steht allerdings noch nicht fest

Concerts falling in Italy
Because of the vocal chord inflammation of lead singer Bill Kaulitz, the teen band Tokio Hotel also cancel concerts in Italy.

Initially, the young musicians would be in in Turin on Sunday and in Rome on Tuesday and Wednesday in Bologna.

“After the Lisbon concert got cancelled last week Bill was directly flown back to Germany,” producer David Jost said to “Bild am Sonntag”. Here has the 18-year-old since then been treated, “and as long as he is not really healthy again, he will stay in bed”.

Whether the March 31 March concert in Dortmund still is scheduled to take place is information that has yet to be decided.
