KLATSCH

översättning: THTchannel

Gülcan: guys, when i realised that it's about the best bands of the world today, i took some of the posters off the walls at home and i brought along the best of them, the one of Tokio Hotel as you can see. they stand there looking all sexy into the camera and letting their eyes speak. that's what a lot of girls think and they do make good music, too. i really like them. Klaas, do you like them too?

Klaas: mhm...

Gülcan: do you also have their cd's?

Klaas: mmh...

Gülcan: do you also go to their concerts sometimes?

Klaas: mhm...

Gülcan: really?! do you have a mug with their picture on it?

Klaas: mhm...

Gülcan: boah, you're really cool man... but not only Klaas is cool, Tokio Hotel are cool too and they've been in our show quite a few times. here is the best of!

Gustav: it's exciting. i like it when there are people who scream for you... that's cool.

Bill: this is the love nest of Sarah and Marc... their cozy corner. i think Tom wanted to help Marc out a little bit...

Tom: i heard help is needed...

Bill: yeah, help is needed.

Bill: everyone gets dancing girls, Stefan Raab has dancing girls too... everyone but us! i think we should have dancing girls too.

Tom: rehearsing is so boring. there's just nothing special about it.

Bill: yeah, you have to wait all the time...

Tom: rehearsing sucks.

Bill: the fact that the singer usually stands in the front and the others could feel disadvantaged doesn't prove to be true for us. Gustav is rather quiet. he likes to seclude himself and he's glad to be behind the drums and that he doesn't have to go up front. Tom is a real poser with his guitar. so he backs me up on stage. and Georg is the typical bassist, a little reserved, also quiet. and that's who we are, and i think everyone's happy the way it is.

Tom: Bill is the most mysterious one of us. he likes to seclude himself. and when he doesn't feel like taking part in what we do, he just walks off.

Klaas: this is Tokio Hotel!... wait, let me take a picture of you.

Klaas: everything went so fast. i think not even as a viewer you could really understand what was going on and you guys probably even less. it happened overnight. how did that feel?

Bill: i think because it happened so quickly, you can't really tell. it came as a big surprise for us. i think a lot of guys our age dream of seeing their video on Viva...

Klaas (to Tom): you said in an interview "women, great... doesn't matter if they're stupid"... i read that today. tell me, what's this all about?

Tom: well, i'm the type of guy who makes decisions by gut feeling, so i don't pay attention to a certain IQ or something like that. i mean, why would i? people who do too much thinking are not that much fun.

Georg: there's this saying...

Tom: yeah. (laughs)

Bill: shut up.

Klaas: excuse me? say it again with the mic.

Georg: well, there's a saying...

Klaas: yeah, there's this saying...um... right. you know it. *lol* (must be something bad, i don't know which saying they mean)


Gülcan: i'll ask you questions and we'll see if your answers are the same.

Bill: red means correct and blue means wrong?

Gülcan: yeah, red means "i am"... for example funky, and blue means "i'm quiet".

Bill: ok.

Gülcan: let's get started. first question: are you romantic?

(Bill quickly says yes.)

Tom: uh...

Gülcan: are you? then show... (Tom shows the blue side)... you're not?

Tom: no.

Gülcan: ok.

Bill: what did he show?

Gülcan: well, that's a perfect match... i mean no match.

(Bill turns around to look at Tom's thumb.)

Gülcan: no looking!

Bill shrugs: oh well...

Gülcan: next question: have you ever written a love letter? to a girl?

(Bill again is quick with his answer. what the hell is Tom thinking about? )

Gülcan: you both have. ok, that's a match. can you cook? cause that's important.

(Bill quickly says no.)

Tom: we know how to cook sauce.

Bill: yeah, that's true.

Gülcan: it's a very important question. girls dig that. don't we, girls? (girls agree)

Bill (to Tom): come on, tell the truth.

Tom: can we cook?

Bill: no.

Gülcan: ok guys, say no... alright, it's a match. oh, important question: are you faithful?

(now he's quick. )

Gülcan: both yes, that's great.



Johanna: well, not only the girls in here but also the girls out there have a lot of questions for you. here are some of them.

girl 1: hi Bill, i wanted to ask if you believe that the girl of your dreams could be among the audience at your concerts.

girl 2: i love you so much.

guy: hi Bill, i was wondering if you're also into guys. *lol*
Johanna: ok, we've heard some questions now and one of them was particularly interesting. spit it out!
Bill: which one? the last one, of course. well, certainly not. i used to have a lot of friends who were gay, but me, not at all.
Johanna: have the fans ever done things that made you say "that's going too far"?

Bill: well, there was this girl who slept at the bus station next to our house. that was heavy and i felt sorry too, cause we're hardly ever at home. to meet us there would really be a coincidence. and the girl actually slept there, it was really cold and she was almost frozen to death when they found her the next morning, so that's really heavy.

Klaas: a lot of girls who stand in the front row faint, a hundred of them at autograph sessions... and you see that. what do you think?

Bill: well, we don't usually see that, cause we're focused all the time and... well ok, you can see the first row, but you don't see what's behind them. sometimes there's light and then we get to see them all, but we don't see who's fainting and who's not. i gotta say though, we have a very caring team who makes sure everyone's fine. they give out water, they've also started giving out hot soup for those outside, cause they stand there for hours...

Klaas: it's incredible. like in a refugee camp with blankets and soup...
Bill: right, they also give out blankets...

To Bill: How long do you need for styling?

Bill: Actually no longer than the others. I would say around 10-15 minutes for everything . I'm very good at this, so it really goes fast. But there are days where I'm not in the mood to do it and then I look like him (Tom).

Tom: But I still look better but he is talking himself into it.....
Bill: Anyways, we look very similar then.


To Bill: Did you style yourself like this always?

Bill: Always. The boys got to know me like this. We're together since six years now, I think. Tom and I started to make music when we were seven and then we were looking for a bassist and drummer and that was when we met the two six years ago. And they only know me like this. I started really aerly with styling.


Bill and Tom....... aren't you to skinny?

Tom: We can eat what we want to and were always slim. It always was like that.
Bill: Ja, we can eat what we want and just don't gain weight. I think we just burn the calories very well. We were already thinking someone should impose this as a kind of sport, because if you're on stage performing for 90 minutes that is actually high performance sport. And we just played two tours.


What do you say to people who don't like you?

Tom: Basically it's totally normal. It's with every band, I mean we also have bands we don't like and this is really something normal and we respect if people don't like our music. Each of us is listening to different music and ist's no problem.


Parents

Bill: We've had the luck that we got a lot freedom. They never restricted something or told us what to do.

Tom: Of course is there always a certain caution because I think parents are always.......

Bill: Surely they worry, but we always had a good relationship. We never had to be scared to say something or we never had to accomodate.


Do you see yourself as superstars?

Bill: I think no one sees himself as superstar but there is no discussion that Germany is in need of superstars. But we ourselves don't see us as superstars. We're the same as before.
Sometimes we even forget and go out on the streets and then we're surprised that people recognize us etc.
I really forget it sometimes that people know me and that I'm famous.


To Tom: Basecaps

Tom: I collect them. I probably have around fifty caps.


Georg and Gustav..... Don't you have to say something?

Georg: We talk less but if we have to say something we do it.
Gustav: We're the more quiet ones of the band and talk not much anyways. So, it's normal.
