Bill: Well, for me a live concert is not only about, having a guitar, an amplifier, staying on a stage and to play for one and half hour...i have another demand...for me it is really a show and we really want to make a show, which fits to the album...some kind of Humanoid city and so on. From this point i was thrilled that Dsquared was ready to make it...the outfits for the tour...and that is truely awesome, that two designer create this...that is so awesome. For me it is a dream come true...more than for the others. For me it is like...yes...i am living this...it belongs to me..i signify to wear such kind of outfits and to perform and sing. In my eyes it is a perfect show.
Speaker: Is it some kind of personal freedom for you to wear such kind of outfits?
Bill: Absolutly...if other people would have a say...i probably wouldn't wear some outfits...even if Tom would have a say.....i wouldn't wear one or two jackets..but of course...that's the way i feel..how i feel comfortable on stage...and that's my way. You can't satisfy everyone all the day
Tom: The good thing in our band is...we live and let live. Georg looks as well like a jerk...it was always like that...so we live and let live.
(Cut You don't hear the question)
Bill: Well...you shouldn't take everything too serious. There are things, that come up again and again, every year and they always appear at a certain time...when there is nothing in line...and they have nothing to report about...and actually, you have to relax a bit...take it easy...and most of the things we don't get to notice....every day, there are thousands of reports about us...in many countries....not only germany...so you have to take it easy...relax and don't take it seriously
(Cut...again)
Tom:Sure...it happend very fast..and in the last five years it wasn't like we could make party with some friends or got to know some people easily..anyway it is not like that...luckily it is...especialy for Bill and me...it happend very early...We have experienced a lot like people usualy do in our present age..We have done it already at the age of fourteen and fiveteen.. ...At that time it wasn't that cool...especialy maybe not for our parents...but now...we are really happy about that...because now, we don't have a chance to do it. Therefore...of course you missed something...normality and so on, But on the other hand , in the last five years we had the chance to expierence a lot of things, that you normaly never every could...Actually
Bill: You can't have everything...if you do that...you miss something else, that's the way it is...you have to take a loss. And if people think....sure...we could make awesome shows, have a lot of money and everything is super....it is not like that.. of course....it looks totaly different. And either you are willing to do it and live that kind of life or not. You have to sacrifice a lot and take a loss.
(cut again)
Tom: Well...it was probably already in the newspaper....no idea....one day i am going to tell it exactly in my biographie ( Bill and Tom laugh)...yes but
Bill: No...Basicly Tom and I had always elder friends. At that time we had friends, who could already drive a car, were a bit older and we joined them by doing things, that elder people do.
Speaker: When did you go shopping food the last time? Doing something normal?
Tom: Ok...that is an example...like shopping food.. a normal privat life...is something that you have of course missed a bit.. When we started...been succesful...at that time you didn't need to do it...your mother already did it...in the meantime maybe we should do it...but we could not do it. This is something we never have done. I can remember, that we stopped with the bus and went with our staff into a supermarket at night in the USA, when nobody was there. That is the way how we grap some food...but going normaly shopping in a supermarket, looking for your favourite yoghurt...we don't know this.
Bill: Especialy school-time....
Tom: There we had even more problems
Bill: even more...school-time was the worst....that was the worst time in my life...and i am so happy, that i am over it...that i never have to walk in such a building again. For me there is nothing more worse..i have an authority problem. I have a problem, if people want to tell me what to do..and that's how it is sometimes in school. I couldn't...we both couldn't cope with it. From that...yes...we had been only in trouble..with the teachers and of course with other people...and i am so happy....actually all of us are happy that we are over it. I will never be a part of those kind of people, who will say...ok..if you now look back...schooltime wasn't that bad.
Tom. Well, i get, what those people actualy want to say...then you have to deal with different worries...but at that age the problems are just as important as the problems with which you have to deal later.
Bill: Exactly
Tom: They are different...and when you are an adult...you thing, they are much more important...but I know exactly, as a teen, school was my biggest worry. Therefore it was worse
Speaker: Did you have only problems with teachers or also with students?
Bill: With everything, i believe....it's all there...like everybody else...of course you had some fights or people you don't like...also teachers....fights with teachers ( laughs)
Speaker: Are there some tussle, if you are so closly on such a little space?
Bill:Well...we try to make it as comfortable as possible for us. We have two band-busses...only for us...Georg and Gustav have one...and Tom and I have one. Everybody has his own room, in which you could shut yourself away.
Tom: Actually people overestimated it a bit...we spend most of the time in the venues. You enter the venue in the morning at 11.00 and leave it in the night at 1.00....and then you are back on the bus and go to sleep.
Bill: There are some days, when you spend more time on the bus
Tom: Right...there are some routings, where we drive three days with the bus...and then it will become probably a bit annoying...with such a little space...but the bus is actualy only for sleeping and watching a dvd....most of the time, we spend in the venues.
Bill: Tom and I couldn't probaply travel to this island again...because...some f***ing bastard of photographer made pics of us there ( Tom claps ) So you see, it is very difficult for us...you fly to the other end of the world...and nevertheless some idiot try to make money with you. So arccodingly you have to deal with such things and accept it...but as you can see...it is not easy for me to accept this. It is tough...you don't get used to it...you try to have your own space to be private...but nevertheless Tom and I had a relaxed holiday....
Wouldn't it be easier for you to live for example in the USA?
Bill: Well...I thing of course it would be easier for us..but we could also move to the province..where nobody lives and there are only two houses...but the question is of course...would you be happy there? In Germany are our families...this our home...here you speak german...this is our home-country. We truely feel at home here.....and even if it is the strenous country for us, we coulnd't imagine to leave it...maybe for a half year...but to leave Germany i could simply imagine. We all grow up here.
Bill: What we are doing, has nothing to do with end of a work day. You don't flip your laptop shut leave the office and say ok...now i have freetime. It is in your head...every day...all day long..you deal with it.....that's our life...you never reach the point..
Tom: That means...everything that you try to reach personaly has to do with the band.

Scream-riasztás! Tokio Hotel-t óriási lelkesedéssel köszönttték a rajongók a Zürichi Hallenstadion-ban. A hardcore-rajongók már reggel 7 óra sorban álltak a tini-idolok koncertje miatt.
Puszta eufória Zürichben: A Tokio Hotel szívtipró-csapata megrázta a Hallenstadion-t. A csarnokban 5100 rajongó volt, mégsem volt tele. Mégis hatalmas sikoltozás vette kezdetét, amikor Bill Kaulitz (20) felrohant a színpadra egy szexi ruhában.
Az első rajongók már hétvégén felsorakoztak. Beleértve Linda Facchinetti-t is (19): "Tokio Hotel egyedülálló. Már 5 éve vagyok nagy rajongójuk!" Romina Rittowskio (17) és Christina Barnicke (18) Németországbók utazott Zürichbe: "Követjük a zenekart az egész turnén!" A rajongók nem okoztak csalódást: a legnagyobb éljenzések az "Automatisch"-nál és a "Übers Ende Der Welt"-nél voltak. De a fénypont a vége előtt volt, amikor ráadásként eljátszották a "Durch Den Monsun"-t. (ford: Brigi)
