Interviu din ziarul"Bams"(ziar german de duminica)
Tokio Hotel – Exklusiv
Ab auf die Insel! Doch wer
macht Feuer und kocht
Von ILKA PEEMÖLLER und HOLM RÖHNER (Fotos)
Vor 377 Tagen brachten Tokio Hotel ihre Debüt-Single „Durch den Monsun“ raus. Inzwischen sind Bill (16), Tom (16), Gustav (17) und Georg (19) die erfolgreichste Popband Deutschlands – und seit Freitag bereits mit ihrer vierten Single-Auskopplung („Der letzte Tag“) am Start. BILD traf das Hit-Quartett auf Sylt zum exklusiven Shooting – und beim Talk in den Dünen waren die vier so aufgedreht wie Sandflöhe.
Tom: Wir haben überall am Körper Sand – bis in die kleinste Ritze.
Na, dann wäre ein Leben auf einer einsamen Südseeinsel ja wie für dich gemacht . . .
Georg: Ich könnte mir schon ein Leben in einer Robinson-Hütte vorstellen.
Tom: Ohne Strom und so?
Georg: Hmm, stimmt. Einen Fernseher bräuchte ich schon.
Wen oder was würdet ihr auf eine einsame Insel mitnehmen?
Georg: Zählen Zwillinge als eins?
Tom: Wenn ich die Wahl zwischen einer Person oder etwas Materiellem hätte, würde ich lieber die Person mitnehmen – das unterhält ja mehr als jeder Fernseher!
Bill: Ich würde natürlich meinen Bruder mitnehmen!
Tom: Ich natürlich auch!
Würdet ihr euch als Band mitnehmen?
Gustav: Wenn ich wüsste, dass ich wieder zurückkomme, dann lieber nicht!
Wenn ihr trotzdem zu viert strandet, wer würde auf der Insel welche Aufgabe übernehmen?
Georg: Um das Feuer müsste sich natürlich Gustav kümmern, ich würde . . .
Tom (fällt ihm ins Wort): Und ich würde . . .
Halt! Warum soll gerade Gustav Feuer machen?
Gustav: Na, weil ich grundsätzlich derjenige bin, der alles kann!
Georg: Gustav hat auch immer so ein kleines Taschenmesser dabei.
Tom: Gustav ist so ein kleiner Robinson Crusoe, der ist handwerklich begabt.
Gustav: Das stimmt ausnahmsweise!
Tom: . . . und der einzige „Draußi“ in der Band. Wir anderen mögen die Natur ja nicht besonders.
Gustav: Tom wäre für den Leuchtturm zuständig.
Tom: Ich brauch’ doch keinen Leuchtturm – ich bin der Sonnenersatz.
Gustav: Tom stellt sich einfach hin – und wir werden braun!
Bill: Ich bin für gar nichts gut, handwerklich bin ich überhaupt nicht talentiert.
Gustav: Bill kann ja die Blumen immer ein bisschen stutzen.
Auf der Insel gibt’s keinen McDonald’s . . .
Bill: Vielleicht würde ich kochen.
Gustav: Du und kochen? Oh, Gott!
Georg: Also Gustav und ich würden auf jeden Fall ein Floß mit Segeln bauen . . .
Gustav: . . . aus Treibgut.
Georg: Gustav wäre der Jäger und wir drei die Sammler. Wir würden den Plan machen, Gustav würde ihn ausführen.
Und als erfahrener Bergsteiger könnte Gustav auch einen Späher mimen!
Gustav: Eigentlich eine gute Idee, aber wegen meiner Kurzsichtigkeit kann ich nicht weit gucken. Also müsste ich meine Brille auf die Insel mitnehmen.

Tokyo hotel - exclusive off on the island! But who makes fires and cooks from ILKA PEEMOELLER and CROSS-BEAM ROEHNER (photo)
377 days ago brought Tokyo hotel their debut single "by the monsoon" raus. In the meantime are Bill (16), Tom (16), Gustav (17) and George (19) the most successful Popband Germany - and for Friday already with its fourth single uncoupling ("the last day") at the start. PICTURE met the hit quartet on Sylt to the exclusive Shooting - and with the talc in the dunes the four were as untwisted as sand fleas.
Tom: We have everywhere at the body sand - into the smallest crack. Well, then a life on a lonely South Seas island would be made as for you. . .
George: I could imagine a life in a Robinson hut.
Tom: Without river and so?
George: Hmm, is correct. A television already braeuchte I. _ whom or which will it on a lonely island carry forward?
George: Do twins count as one?
Tom: If I had the choice between a person or something material one, I would rather carry the person forward - more than each television maintains! Bill: I would naturally carry mine forward brother!
Tom: I naturally also! _ will it you as volume carry forward?
Gustav: If I knew that I return again, then rather not! If you strand nevertheless too fourth, who would take over on the island which task?
George: About the fire Gustav would have to naturally worry, I became. . . Tom (falls it in the word): And I became. . . Stop! Why is straight Gustav to make fires?
Gustav: Well, because I am in principle that, which can do everything!
George: Gustav has also always such a small taschenmesser thereby.
Tom: Gustav is such a small Robinson Crusoe, that is talented relating to crafts.
Gustav: That is correct exeptionally!
Tom: . . . and the only "Draussi" in that volume. We others do not like nature particularly.
Gustav: Tom would be responsible for the lighthouse.
Tom: I custom ' nevertheless no lighthouse - I am the sun replacement.
Gustav: Tom puts itself simply - and we become brown! Bill: I am for nothing at all well, relating to crafts am I not at all talentiert.
Gustav: Bill knows the flowers always a little connecting piece. On the island gibt's no McDonald's. . .
Bill: Perhaps I would cook.
Gustav: You and cook? Oh, God! George: Thus Gustav and I would build an in any case raft with sails. . .
Gustav: . . . from driving property.
George: Gustav would be the hunter and we three the collecting tanks. We would make the plan, would implement for Gustav it. And as experienced mountain climbers could Gustav also a scout act like!
Gustav: Actually, but because of my myopia I can look a good idea not far. Thus would have I mean eyeglasses forward on the island to carry.

In my head there's only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there's real and make believe
And this seems real to me
And you love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go, let me go... |

<center>Berlinonline Interview</center>
It will be hot for sure
The band Tokio Hotel about their concert in Israel, beautiful women and a generation, for whom history doesn’t play a big role anymore
A conference room in the Ritz Carlton on the Potsdamer platz in Berlin. A couch, a couple of chairs. On a low table jars with gummibears (sweets). Bill is seated in the right side of the couch, holding a pillow in front of his belly, the negru polished nails burried in the pillow. To his right , on a chair, is his twinbrother Tom. Losely laid back, wide legged, the dreads falling over his chest. To the left sits Gustav, with cap, he wouldnt say a single word the entire time. Next to him Georg, long straight hair, with 20, being the oldest in the band. To greet us they all stand up, introduce themselves, shake hands. Georg offers some drinks, gets some water and coffee. It’s the fifth interview today. They ask what time it is. Shortly after 3 pm. Time fo breakfast, says Tom.
You travel all around the world at the moment and now you are in Germany fo a couple of days. Are you happy to be here again?
Georg: Its a home match
Bill: Ordinary environment, ordinary faces, we know everything very well. We always get into surprising situations abroad. Here in Germany we can relax a bit more, because we are here so often. Besides we are sometimes in a country only for 2 or three days, we have a ridiculously tight timetable, thats why its also very chaotic sometimes. It's alsways a very special feeling being here again.
The 6th of October you will play in Israel, in Tel Aviv. How did that come about?
Tom: It really happened the same way it has happened in every country we have visited so far. In France, Poland, Demnmark of whatever. We already had fans everywhere , before we visited those countries, even before we released songs. Everything gets exchanged over the internet. To tell you the truth, we have only just learned through the action from the Israelian fans, that these fans exist. We already had fanclubs in France, 5 months before we even released anything there. In the case of Israel, the fans started an action . They collected about 5000 autographs, I think, making a wish that we would come to their country one day. Only because of that we learned that our song Monsoon was already being played on the radio over there. We never knew that!
You CD’s are released in German and in the mean time also in English. Which version can they listen to in Israel?
Tom: I think it is the English one.
Bill: But because of the intenet it is actually a mix of both. In countries where we have released English CD’s, the people are also listening to a lot of german. In France for example.
Tom: In Finland they listen to us in German. We have released an English album there, so that the people can choose. In case they are not interested in the German language, they still have the possibility to understand our lyrics.
Bill: People understanding our lyrics is important for us. For us its more than a nice tune to dance to.
Music to us is always about feelings (emotions). Because of that, I have been writing lyrics for a long time already, its very important to me that the people can understand what we are singing about.
How did you find out about the signed petition (autographs action) by the Israelian fans?
Bill: People wrote about it on the internet. It also reached our record company and our management. There was this giant paper with autographs. So many people writing: Come and visit us and play a gig ! We thought, wow, that’s not possible!
Tom: we were rather surprised.. I mean, Israel, we have never been there before. For us, as a German band, to play there is something special.
Bill: We didnt know anyone was interested in us over there.
You are the first German band to reach the number one postion in the Israelian charts.
Tom: A few weeks after we had received this giant paper with autographs, we were also on the cover of an Israelian Rock magazine.
Another thing that no German band before you has ever achieved.
Tom: Yeah thats was a cool thing to happen. And now its like this: we have no idea what to expect.
Bill: We have talked to our promoter, meaning our booking agent. He also thought it was awesome. He said: lets try this. He also had no idea what to expect there, because he has never organized a thing like this in Israel before. So it was very strange for him as well.
We have then decided altogether to go for it.
I guess it’s also the first time an ambassador plays a part in organizing a rock concert?
Georg: That’s right. The fans have send the autographs to the Isaelian ambassador in Germany. He passed it on.
Tom: The ambassador invited us and told us that we were very welcome . We have accepted the invitation.
What goes through your head, when you think of Israel?
Tom: I am relatively open minded about it. It’s not like if we expect certain things to happen in certain countries. Israel, what would it be like to play over there?. Before now we have never even thought about it.
Bill: Because we have seen so many counties, we now know that cliches are never true anyway.
In many countries the people always ask us: Ah you are from Germany, you must drink a lot of beer and eat Bratwurst (sausages), don’t you? We always think, okay we don’t do that at all. All these cliches are totally stupid.
But something has to spring to mind about Israel. A picture, a feeling.
Georg: I have a warm picture in mind anyway.
Bill: It will be hot for sure, it’s Open Air, isn’t it?
Tom; Yes, thats right, its Open Air for sure. Warm, yes, apart from that I don’t really have an idea about it.
Bill: I heard that Tel Aviv is a really nice city.
Tom: True, we know a couple of people that have already been theree.. They told us that it is very nice there, for sure and I have heard that there are also very beautiful...
Georg: very beautiful women.
Tom: That’s why we are looking forward to the gig in every alură .
Georg: We will take some time to form an idea ..
About the women?
Bill: about Israel.
Tom: When we travel by plane it's always a bit complicated, but we have a little bit of time to have a look around. I am already looking forward to that.
How much time do you have?
Tom; I think we have half the day off, before the concert. The next day we will fly to Amsterdam for our next gig.
Bill is now seated on (top of ) the back of the couch. When he talks he waves his arms about in the air. We have to add to that, that Bill has very thin arms.
On the lower inside part of the left arm he has a tattoe stating : Freiheit 89. There might be people that think that this is a reference to the fall of the Berlin wall. After all the four bandmembers do come from Magdeburg.
But the tattoe is just a reminder of Bill’s year of birth.
Nothing more.
It is the same way with Israel.
For the first time a German band plays such a big gig in Israel. In the county of the victims.
Ticketsales are going well, says the booking agent.
Apparently the Israelian youth has no problems in cheering on a German band.
Doesn’t history really play any role anymore in the year 2007?
Is it that simple?
Young german people and young Israelian people, seperated from one another by history and now reunited by music?
Tell me, apart from the heat and the beauty , do you have any associations with Israel?
Bill: Apart from that, I have no notion about it, we are all very open minded where that is concerned. Like we said already.
In Israel and Germany they consider this gig to be an extraordinary thing. It's almost a political issue. Why is that, do you think?
Tom: First of all its highly unlikely for a German band to play a gig in Israel.
Bill; You don’t know what you’re getting into. How will things work out when you are doing concerts over there? Can you play really cool Open Airs, are there some cool venue to play?
Tom: There are some American acts that have performed over there, but we are the first ones coming from Germany that will do a big gig there, that’s for sure.
But it will certainly go well. We have found a very good Open Air location, I think it will be good.
Bill: I am excited. I am anxious to meet the fans. I am so looking forward to that. It will be so cool.
Tom: There are so many thing we have to worry about. How will we get our backline to Tel Avic now? This is also a matter of costs. Our backline has to go to Amsterdam the next day. We have found out that its not that hard after all. You can easliy get some amplifiers delivered in Tel Aviv. It’s not a problem at all.
Bill: Something I never knew before is that the people are so into music. I really didnt have any idea what kind of music they listen to over there. Here in Germany we don’t get any of their music.
Israel-Germany, that is a special issue (story). Does it play a part for you?
Bill; mmm, mmm
Tom: Well for us, .. we don’t really think about that.
Bill: We dont make such a big issue out of it. We are just immensly looking forward to it, its a great honour for us to go there. But very often they write about us being a messenger of something. We wouldnt describe ourselves like that. Like messengers promoting the German language or, I don’t know what. It all sounds so intense. We dont see ourselves like that. We make music, the people are interested in us because of that, and that is simply a very cool feeling.
Tom: We were very happy to have received the invitation from the embassy.
That in itself shows that this concert is out of the ordinary.
Bill: And we owe it all to our fans.
Tom: For them the only way to reach us was through the embassy.
Bill: I am just imagining, that some German teenagers would like to see a Israelian band. I wouldnt have a clue how to make it happen.
Georg: I wouldn’t know if the German embassy would send the autographs over.
Maybe the whole Third Nation and Holocaust issue is so far from the minds of these 18-years old boys , that they dont even remotely think about it when they travel to Israel. Maybe we, the mid-thirtiers, are the last people who look at this country with prejudice. Maybe Bill and Tom and the others have accomplished what we have never been able to do. That they as young German people can simply look forward to their trip to Israel. Without feeling any guilt.
Or are they just ignorant and naive?
Sorry, but we have to ask you one more time. The Third Nation, the Holocaust-does that play any part in this at all?
Bill: Well of course we are aware of it. But we are also from a completley different generation. I think our fans over there will also be very young. They will be all the same age as we are. We have a emotional bond through the music. That’s what it will be all about. The concert will not be burdened with what happened in the past.
Tom: I believe noone will have a political background on their mind, or something like that. For us its a concert, a very exciting concert. We are very welcome in Israel, and for our fans history doesn’t play any part in it.
You left school really early, and had, or still have, private teachers (school). Did you get to work on the Nazi-period in history class?
All: Yes of course.
The prosecution of Jews, the Holocaust, the second Wold War- are those themes that move you?
Bill: I believe that is a theme(subject) for everyone,. For all young people. You learn a little about it in school, partly also from your grandparents. Of course there are very touching stories amongst those. There are times in history class, when you are sitting there and just can’t believe it. What has happened in those days, what difficult times were that... You can’t understand certain parts of that. When you wake up today and you take a look around. The freedom we have. Everything we are allowed to do. It is very hard to imagine what it was like in the past .Its already very shocking to hear about it during your education. But I think that like most people from our age, we live in the present.
TOM: and we are more focused on the future.
Do you remember an incident from the history lesson which touched you heart?
BILL: I think it would be foolish to limit it to one thing.
GEORG: One incident from all this time? This dreadful, horrible time limite to one thing, would not be right.
TOM: There have been really many morbid incidents. Not all of it known completely.
BILL: My grandparents sometimes sit us down and tell us about it. My grandfather has a splinter in his leg. There are so many things.
TOM: When we go to other countries, people sometimes get the complete wrong idea. They sometimes ask: How are the things for you now, you are from the East (Germany).
BILL: Are you able to eat bananas? Such questions they ask. Really. Or if we are allowed to travel in and out. They sometimes even don’t know that it’s no problem anymore.
TOM: The people sometimes say: tell us some anecdotes from the DDR. How it was to live in the east (Germany)? Hey Bill and I were born in 1989, the year when the wall (which divided Germany) fell. For us it always has been one Germany.
You have played big concerts in Russia and Poland and there you are very high in the charts too. Have you been asked in these countries about the German history?
ALL: No, not at all.
BILL: In Poland there was really nothing and in Russia neither. Everywhere we go, it’s always about the music.
TOM: We are always welcomed very warmly, by all people.
In the meantime you played half of Europe’s countries, in front of thousands of fans. You are in a new city every other day. Which memories stuck by you? What impressed you the most?
BILL: I was thrilled by many cities. I really liked Moscow.
GEORG: Unbelievably beautiful.
BILL: I would never expect that. First it was shocking. It’s a long drive from the airport to the city center. First everything is grey and simple, poor neighborhoods. And then suddenly…
GEORG: suddenly everything is gold.
BILL: It’s like a border. The difference between rich and poor is blatant. That’s sad too. But at the center Moscow is a gorgeous city.
TOM: Sometimes we are asked what we would change about a country. That is always hard to answer. We go to a country, for one, two days and see just good things. Thousands of fans, a great hall, everything is nice.
BILL: and then we party. In Moscow you can go out really good, we went to a restaurant where you can see the whole city. These are cool experiences. And we just went to Rome, there we had a day off. It was insane to see it all, too. When I think about that we went to all this countries before for holidays and now all the fans scream for you.
TOM: That’s blatant!
In Paris you had a gig this summer for the French national holiday under the Eiffel Tower. In front of 500 000 people.
BILL: You have to imagine, at this day all, all, all the people from Paris come to the street. Everywhere in the city is entertainment. In front of the stage there were boxes in several rows, along the street . You weren’t able to see the end of the crowd. You are singing and the whole city hears you. That’s unbelievable.
TOM: You think you have a huge flat screen in front of you, so many people, it can’t be true.
GEORG: We played three songs and it was really surreal.
Now they swoon over it. Bill and Georg mostly. Moscow, Paris, must be great. They look like they could talk forever about their concerts. A mobile phone rings. Gustav the only one of the band who hasn’t said anything but just listened, gets a bit red. He excuses himself and doesn’t take the call. He falls silent again. One of the two PR-assistants, who listened during the interview at the background, comes to the table. “Last question” she says. She looks strict. She stays at the table.
Can you say what it means to you, to be German? Does it have any meaning for you?
BILL: A meaning? Of course there is a connection, we feel at home here, we grew up here.
TOM: Maybe we will have an apartment in another country one day, but I couldn’t fotografie to move away from Germany completely.
BILL: That’s every time like this, you have seen so much beauty, but you come here and that’s it.
GEORG: There is no place like home.
BILL: One never forgets that our career started here. Here we had our first TV-show; here we shot our first video. This is where it all originated.
Of course you are asked in other countries what’s so typical for our country. Typical German. What do you answer then?
BILL: We never answer these questions.
GEORG: First we take away all the stereotypes. Not all drink beer, not all eat “Weißwurst” (Bavarian veal sausage)
BILL: Especially in Berlin there are so many different cultures, how should you describe it with one sentence. Many people ask us to describe our band with three words, as well. You can’t do it neither with a band nor with a country. You have to have seen it. You have to been there. You have to feel it. Then you can speak about it.
