Bravo nr.40/2008



Germany, France, England or the U.S.: No matter where the guys show up - everywhere the same scenes: fans, who totally freak out, who scream the names Bill (19), Tom (19), Gustav (20) and Georg (21), who can sing the songs along. Many TH-fans go even further, making clear offers their darlings - for example on gross poster slogans: "F**k me through the monsoon" or "Tom, we want to give you a blow job" are almost harmless. In the fifth part of the great BRAVO-series, the boys reveal exclusively what there's real - between them and the fans.

BRAVO: What are you saying about the partial hard slogans of your fans?

TOM: I think it's cool, that our fans are so directly (grins).

BILL: That makes our fans. But to be honest: Initially, we were sometimes short of breath.

BRAVO: What were the most beautiful experiences so far with your fans?

BILL: The first gig after "Durch den Monsun" was published - and suddenly so many fans were singing the song along. The concert had even canceled, because the crowd was too big. This has overwhelmed me!

TOM: Just until we were in Mexico. Once we had about two hours to write autographs. The fans were so touched, and many have even cred, just because we were there. It was so gross. We were also previously been in the South American countries and didn't know, that we are so known. And suddenly there were thousands of people. It was really unbelievable.

BRAVO: Were there once really gross situations with fans?

TOM: Oh yes. In Madrid once the situation was out of control. Gustav went into his hotel room. But in his bed were already fans. They were fallen Gustav directly around his neck and he has become so frightened. At Bills and my room were already quite a lot in front of the door. They constantly knocked, they climbed up the fire brigade, have totally screamed.

BILL: Then suddenly the police appeared. They have entered the door and drag me out of the room. "Are you Bill Kaulitz?" they have screamed. Then they took my hands together, interrogated me and claimed that I was responsible for the chaos. The problem was: They couldn't speak English, they only spoke Spanish. I hardly understood anything. Then Tom tried to contact our security people. When they arrived, the matter could be resolved. The police really wanted to take me to their police station.

BRAVO: But here, the fans went too far, or?

BILL: Well, that was traumatic and violent.

TOM: But since we were holding on as a band - then it bothers us really not. That's just a part of it and makes us not be afraid or so. While it was already gross, but also actually funny again. But if we are at home, we're glad about tranquility. Then we're not giving autographs and taking photos. But if we're on the road, we're doing this for sure.

BRAVO: Were you already nasty to your fans?

TOM: So we would never be knowingly nasty to our fans. They are too important for us.

BILL: We certainly never wanted to do something nasty to them. We love them. But everyone has a bad day and looks bad. Sometimes we just couldn't give everyone an autograph. Then we're in stress and must continue to the next appointment. We're constantly on the road for our fans and we're for sure no assholes.

BRAVO: Hand on the heart - were there also some embarrassing moment with your fans?

TOM: Nope. Only once, a girl wanted to come with me to my hotel room and fell down on the way.

BILL: Or the scene at the airport: There were girls screaming "We want to f**k you" - right in the dead silence there. That was then embarrassing, but more for them.

BRAVO: Tom, how many groupies did you have had in your bed?

TOM: Hmmm, that's really difficult to say. I don't count.

BILL: Yeah, but he has such a clicker (laughs)!

TOM: What I can say, I had more often a woman in my bed than I was on the toilet (laughs loud). No, nonsense! Now seriously: I'm even become somewhat quieter.

BRAVO: That means ... ?

TOM: I still don't get it by myself - but perhaps with 19 I already rejected the horns. Not that sex would become boring. But I also prefer watching a DVD in the evening. The other is indeed very strenuous (grins). Meanwhile, I could even imagine something stronger. But the girl really would have to strike me.

BRAVO: And how about the groupies by Georg and Gustav? Are they so wildly like Tom?

TOM: As far as we know, there is nothing (laughs)!

BILL: There are no guys, which represent a girl. Gustav had at the beginning of our career a girlfriend. But even then was nothing more.

TOM: Georg is doing so as if he were a macho. But he prefers it, when she's offensive.

BILL: Inside, he's dirty but outwardly too shy.

TOM: You have to show him what's happening. There were for sure already some girls, who liked him and the other way too. But none did the first step. With me it's different - I belong to the hunters and collectors.

BRAVO: And what about you, Bill - there was still no kiss for you?

BILL: No, not yet. That totally makes me really sad. I'm 19 now and that's missing me completely. I'd really like to have a girlfriend, with whom I could share my life, whom understands everything, what I do. Although I have Tom. But I absolutely want a girlfriend.

BRAVO: But the offer is huge for you?

BILL: It's difficult to open yourself to someone. I have no time, I'm always on the road. When I meet on a after-show-party girls, I never know what they really want. I also see in the near future no way - that's bad. But I still have the music, this is my backup. And dogs are my substitutes. Sometime, I want to have many dogs. They make me happy.


VIVA - Best of bands (10. 08. 2008)

Fattar noll, men men...

Bill - a thief?

Everyone can agree on that Björk Guðmundsdóttir has an unique look. 1989 in Leipzieg in Germany a boy was born and named Bill Kaulitz. Today, 19 years later, Bill Kaulitz is the leader of the hottest boy band in Germany, Tokio Hotel.
Bill without a doubt listened a lot to Björk as a young boy,and he looks exactly like her. Tokio Hotel have been doing great recently and specially in America. The band recently won an award on the VMA that was held in Los Angeles recently.
Last years Björk has been using a lot of thick ‘eyeliner' at appearances and you can basically say that Bill stole her look. Bill is hardly seen without thick eyeliner and make-up. And his eyebrows are exactly the same as Björk's. Bill is also very feminin. But that doesn't seem to get the girls off him. He and the other members talk a lot about their after concerts one night stands. Maybe some of his one night stands have thought: "He reminds me of someone, but who?"(at least not her<.< )


(men vi THfans vet att bills look är 100% han, inget kopierande här inte..)


Bild.de letar partner åt Bill!

Who makes him completely happy?
He is young, successful, famous - and Bill Kaulitz (19) still has no girlfriend. He is the singer of Tokio Hotel, and he has so much fans.
But everything is worse: Bill hasn't kissed anybody since 3 years now. The reason is: "I'm not such a lovelance", he said in the youth magazine "Bravo". "That totally makes me sad."
Thousands of girls are waiting outside, and they would do anything to kiss the superstar. But "poor" Bill is devastated: "I am now 19 and i really miss it. I'd really like to have a girlfriend, with whom I can share my life."
BILD.de wants to solve Bill's kiss-problem and searches a kissing-partner for him.
Send your application with a photo, a video or a letter in which you explain why are you the right girlfriend for him.

De Bravo #40: Nicole: "Jag beundrar Tokio Hotel"
Del 2 av 2. Översättning av: Pat på THA.

I admire Tokio Hotel.
What a compliment. Worldstar Nicole is Impressed by Bill, Tom, Georg and Gustav.
who would have thought. Nicole Scherzinger (30), leadsinger of the Pussycatdolls "and an absolute worldstar, outed herself as a fan from one of german's bands, Tokio Hotel! In an exclusive Bravo Interview she says: "I admire the boys completely! They are really great." But how and when did she find out about Bill, Tom, Gustav and georg? "At the MTV Europe music awards 2007 in Munchen", she says. at the mega event in november last year, the 4 Madgeburger boys and the US-singer crossed paths for the first time and they talked a long time at the after show party. In february, Nicole actually visited a Tokio Hotel concert in Los Angeles, CA. "the boys are fantastic. I love their performances". Then they finally met up again at the VMA's in Los Angeles, where Tokio Hotel won the award for best new artist. Again the 30 year old was fascinated by the boys. "I think they are totally talented. The boys are simply totally fresh. They are so different and new. that is cool." Appearently so cool that the singer is seriously thinking about working together with Bill, Tom, Georg and Gustav. "I used to be in a rockband, because of that i can imagine recording a rocksong with them". And what does the singer think about the career opportunities of the boys in America? would they be able to make their Big Breakthrough? "They have just been to the USA for a short while. But they were a big hit right away! I am so proud of them". Wow, and that from the mouth of a PussyCatDoll. At this moment she herself is very succesfull worldwide with her girls: with the hit single: when I grow up from the new album, Doll domination. But maybe soon Nicole will be in the top ten with a new Rock Song. As co-singer with Tokio Hotel...

Angekommen "Wir haben eigentlich keine Chance", sagte Tokio-Hotel-Manager David Jost noch einen Tag vor der Verleihung der MTV Video Awards in L.A. zu VANITY FAIR. Selten wird sich Jost so gern geirrt haben. Denn die Magdeburger Combo um Sänger Bill Kaulitz (18), die als erste deutsche Band bei den VMA nominiert worden war, gewann den "Best New Artist"-Preis. Jetzt ist es wohl nur noch eine Frage der Zeit, bis Kaulitz auch den amerikanischen Charterfolg seines Idols Nena übertrumpft: Die schafftre es einst, dort mit einem deutschen Titel ("99 Luftballons") auf Platz zwei zu landen.

Article

MUNICH (Hollywood Reporter) - Four fresh-faced rockers are transforming the fringe esoteric image of German pop into the new global teenybopper cool.
Tokio Hotel -- a foursome whose origins date back to 2001 -- are fronted by spiky-haired singer Bill Kaulitz, 19. His identical twin brother, Tom, is the band's guitarist.
Together with their slightly older rhythm section, Georg Listing and Gustav Schaefer, the brothers have sold almost 3 million CDs and DVDs, packing venues throughout Europe and Japan.
Girls in such countries as Poland and France are learning German in order to understand Bill Kaulitz's lyrics of teenage disaffection. In Israel, where editorial writers worried about the historical ramifications, tens of thousands of fans signed a petition to get Tokio Hotel to play in Tel Aviv last year, and the band obliged -- to a huge open-air crowd.
In the United States, the band's English-language album "Scream" peaked at No. 39 on the Billboard 200, and they won the fan-voted best new artist award at the MTV Video Music Awards in Hollywood earlier this month. The Los Angeles Times described Tokio Hotel as a "young emo-glam outfit" who sound like "the Jonas Brothers covering Guns N' Roses."
Tokio Hotel owe their success to "the professional and meticulous work of a team of producers and managers who maintain control over their 'product' at all times," German music journalist Olaf Tost says.
"Bill Kaulitz, with his androgynous, vulnerable and yet energy-laden persona, is something of an emotional anchor in the sea of teenage angst for his fans," Tost adds.
One of the main members of the Tokio team, producer and co-writer David Jost, describes meeting Bill Kaulitz for the first time as a life-changing event. "I was 100% certain they were going to break the roof in Germany," he said. "I would have bet the whole German music and media industry on this. But of course I never expected this thing to take off internationally."
The U.S. fan base was built mostly via the Tokios' YouTube channel, updated with professionally made and English-subtitled videos at least once a week. The intro to the channel declares triumphantly, "It's only a matter of time before the hysteria follows them stateside."
"A band from Germany getting big all over Europe -- with the chance of even more -- that happens every 20 years, maximum," Jost says.
Tost is a bit more skeptical.
"They may have some temporary success in the U.S. But for the long term they might not have the 'special something' -- like (German hard rockers) Rammstein does -- that makes them different from other bands," he says.

BILD NEWS: Bill and Tom shows their beach hairstyles.

Read what Bild newspaper wrote about Bill and Tom on thei B-day :Tokio Hotel on vacation - Bill and Tom show their beach hairstyles.

Los Angeles. Long mane, dreads, oversized sunglasses and decent amounts of fast food. This is how Bill and Tom Kaulitz of Germany's most adored girl crushes from the band Tokio Hotel relax at the beach. Instead of his finger-in-an-electric socket hairstyle, Bill wears his hair straight and neatly combed back. Sun tanning is so much easier...

The twins are on a Birthday vacation [They turned 19 on the 1st of September] in California - and have just ended their US tour successfully. "Of course America is the biggest for every musician. This is where the best perform. And that we now belong to that is really awesome." say Bill Kaulitz.




Young Hollywood


Four-star Hotel


Super Pop nr.340, translated

Tokio Hotel
So will be the new CD!

Yes, it's true! Tokio Hotel are about to release their third album! Check what we found out... Yaay!
We were so excited to tell you this new! After Schrei and Zimmer 483 (both with English versions), the four boys are already working hard on the third album!!! And they promise to not disappoint us...

Sometimes a bad thing brings a good one...
This couldn't be more right... and Tokio Hotel know that well!!! You might remember that Bill had to stay four weeks non-speaking, after his throat surgery... Those were pretty hard days for him and for the band, and they even had to cancel many concerts (including the one in Lisbon). But it was also during that period that Bill started to write new songs, daily!! That period brought him a lot of inspiration, made him think a lot about life and, since he couldn't speak... he wrote! It was that moment of forced break what allowed the born of Tokio Hotel's «new baby»!

Other inspirations!
When they got back on the stages (with the european and american tour), Bill continued on writting... Visiting new countries and meeting different people also brought him so much inspiration! «Bill comes constantly to me with new ideas for songs», says their manager and producer David Jost. «I think that Bill's lyrics are mostly a mix of missing things. We wished to be at home and, at the same time, he always wants to move on.» How sweet...

Little notes!
Bill is constantly having ideas for lyrics and musics, and he write them immediately. «Bill fills up with lyrics each blank space on a piece of paper, that he keeps in his pocket. Mostly of them have an hotel logo on it. He's a little chaotic and has already lost some of this papers. But, unfortunately, he's not interested on writting the ideas on his laptop» says David Jost. Each one works at his own way, lol!

New style!
We also found out that Tokio Hotel are thinking about changing their style a bit. «I want to include songs with new influences and surprise people», Tom said. How cool!!!

[Red Box] Faithful to the origins They're singing in German again
Tokio Hotel are super happy with their success in the USA and in Europe, but they want to keep faithful to their origins and they'll continue on singing in German. Even because it's with the mother tongue that Bill writes better and the fans identify themselves with the songs in German. «The fans want to be as close as possible to Bill. So, they want to understand the texts in German», says the band manager.

Artikel om det nya albumet

Yes, it is true! Tokio Hotel are ready to draw a new original album! See what we found ... Yupii!

We are so excited for the new album! After Schrei Zimmer and 483 (both with a version in English), the four boys are working daily on the third disc! And promise not disappointment ...

Things always have a bad end.
This proverb could not say more truth ... Tokio Hotel knows it! perhaps remember when Bill had to stay 4 weeks without talking after the OP from his throat ... Those days were really hard and had to cancel dozens of concerts (including those of Lisbon). But it was then that Bill began to write new lyrics! This gave him much inspiration, which made him think so much about life and, as he could not talk ... write! It was in that moment of pause was the birthday of the "new baby" Tokio hotel!

Other inspirations!
Upon his return to the stage (with the Europeans and Americans), Bill was still writing ... Visit new countries and meet different people also inspired him! "Bill came to talk to me a lot of times with new ideas for music," says director and producer of the band, David Jost. "I think the lyrics of Bill are a mixture of nostalgia. The desire to be at home and at the same time wants to continue ". That sweet ...

Lost papers!
Bill always has new ideas for songs and lyrics and write everything at once. "Bill writes letters in every empty space of a role, which carries in his pocket. In most papers, there is a hotel logo. These will fall and he has already lost some of those documents. But, unfortunately, not the writing is not interested in the ideas portable ‘desbela David Jost. Everyone with his method.

New style!
We also had to discover that Tokio Hotel is thinking about changing a little style. "I want to introduce new music with influences people and surprises," says Tom. Cool!

Back to its origins
They will sing German. Tokio Hotel are very happy with the success they have done in the U.S. and Europe, but they want their origins and kept singing in German. Because it is in the mother tongue in which Bill writes better and the fans identify the origin of the same way. "The fans want to feel closer to Bill. So, want to understand the texts in German, "says the manager of the band.


THR DAILY SPECIAL: The complete Vanity Fair interview!!

Bill Kaulitz, singer of Tokio Hotel, about damaged vocal cords, the drug called fame and his own funeral.


 A rule for journalists says that interviewing an 18-years-old is as reasonable as milking a stone. But it's different with Bill Kaulitz. His first kiss or the addiction to fame: the teen star who is often labeled as gay, talks more eloquent than most of the German showbiz veterans. VANITY FAIR met Bill shortly before his surgery and had e-mail contact with him after the surgery.


VF: Mister Kaulitz, how do you feel after the surgery of your vocal cords?
Bill Kaulitz:
Well, just how you feel after someone shoved a metal rail down your throat while you were under general anesthesia, to cut something off of your vocal cords. Everybody knows this feeling. I'm really glad I'm over and done with this. But I'm still scared about my voice and I feel bad for the canceled concerts.


VF: For how long will you have to rest?
Bill Kaulitz:
I'm not allowed to speak for 12 days after the surgery. After that I have to do four weeks of rehabilitation. I can't wait for this.


VF: Let's talk about the beginnings. It's said that creativity feeds from the memory of hurt and mortification. What was yours?
Bill Kaulitz:
The thing that hurt me most was the divorce of my parents. I was seven years old and I didn't understand it. It influenced me a lot. There's a song about it on our first album. It's called "Gegen meinen Willen".


VF: We know that your stephather Gordon Trümper is a guitar teacher. What is your biological father doing?
Bill Kaulitz
: He's a truck driver and lives in Hanover


VF: When you were 8 years old, your family moved from Magdeburg to Loitsche, where only 700 people live. How did you experience this move?
Bill Kaulitz:
I felt terrible, because I'm not a country-type at all. You can imagine how Tom and I stood out. They looked at us like we were some aliens who are completely nuts. School was terrible too. I had to get up at half past five every morning, to catch the bus to Wolmirstedt, and wasn't home before half past four. How I hated this! And always the same faces at school. It was the worst time of my life.


VF: How did the teachers react to the brothers Kaulitz?
Bill Kaulitz:
Tom and I were always together until 7th grade. Then we were parted as punishment. It was a real slap in the face which really influenced us. Until then we did everything together. We're identical twins and really close. Of course we fought the disciplinary transfer, but the teachers said that they wouldn't be able to stand up to us because we were both bigmouths. I wasn't somebody who raised his finger and then talked in a hushed voice. I always shouted. My mum was called to school every second day.


VF: It was your specialty to appeal class tests if those weren't given back to you in due time. Where did you get this know-how from?
Bill Kaulitz:
I always knew that I don't need the school, because I'd be a singer. Because the teachers annoyed me to no end, I studied my rights. I knew what they were allowed to do and what not. I sometimes had a teacher that was completely awful. Some of them didn't want to say "Good day" to me because my hair was styled up and my fingernails were painted black. They said that I couldn't go to school like that. One of them didn't want to teach me because I look like I look. He said things like "Your head isn't only for nice hair." I was an anti-pupil and did not put up with any of this.


VF: How were your marks?
Bill Kaulitz:
Great. I always had a grade point average of 1,8. That's what annoyed the teachers most.


VF: Were the teachers able to hurt you?
Bill Kaulitz:
Not at all. I wasn't a sick freak, chewing on my nails. I was very self-confident. I went to school like this because I knew everyone would look and the teachers would talk about it. I enjoyed this. I wanted to attract attention with my styling. The people were supposed to talk about me.


VF: A short time ago, you finished secondary school via correspondence school. How important is it to be able to differ omelette from Hamlet?
Bill Kaulitz:
Well, one should be able to tell the difference. But the school system is too less individual. Why should I study maths when I know that I will never ever need it again in my life? I dropped music in 8th grade. Everyone was dumbfounded. But we only learned the CVs of some people by heart - zero inspiration. I always got bad grades for singing because we had to warble folk songs. It was horror!


VF: Does the old cliché , that music was the ticket to escape the melancholy of the province apply to you?
Bill Kaulitz:
Yes. I always thought: I just have to get away from this jerkwater town, where everyone knows everyone! The worst thing for me is everyday life. I hate everyday life. That's why Tokio Hotel ist he right thing for me. Every day is different: new cities, new people.


VF: Thanks to paparazzi and so-called reader reporter, you're now on a watch 24/7. Is this impertinence or completion?
Bill Kaulitz:
When I was a little boy, I always imagined how everything I do is being recorded by cameras and how this is going out to the world. I wanted boundless attention. Now I achieved it. How can I be annoyed by this?


VF: Will someone ever be as important to you as Tom is?
Bill Kaulitz:
No. It tops everything. I couldn't imagine a life without Tom. One can't describe how close we are to each other. It's something extrasensory. We often have the same thoughts and dream the same things. We actually don't have to talk to each other anymore.


VF: Many identical twins sense their symbiosis as a torture and provide murderous sceneries.
Bill Kaulitz:
We argue of course. And if we have an argument, it's bad. We attack each other and punch each other. One year ago we attacked each other with chairs in a hotel room. But we don't bear a grudge. We slam the doors, one of us disappears and ten minutes later we talk to each other again.


VF: Who's closer to you: the natural Bill or the painted one?
Bill Kaulitz
: Definitely the painted one. the natural Bill is like a masquerade to me. I would also walk around like this if I wouldn't be famous. It totally belongs to me.


VF: Who sees you in your original state?
Bill Kaulitz:
My family. And that's it.


VF: Famous kids are the most corruptive species of artists, because they destroy themselves the older they get. Will you perform a fall from time to time, to keep your image interesting?
Bill Kaulitz:
It's definitely good to show that you're not perfect. But I don't stress about this. To plan something like that so that your fans don't run away, is bad. What I hated from the beginning, were older bands or some people of record labels who wanted to explain to me how this works. There's no such thing as advice! In our first meethings with the record label, they wanted to give us a stylist who was supposed to work on our appearance. I still don't have a stylist who tells me what to wear. It would constrict me. We also decide about every concert and every contract by ourselves, because I think it's really bad not to be self-determined.


VF: Who is allowed to say no to you?
Bill Kaulitz:
Job-related: no one. Neither the management nor the record label. The only ones I'm still listening to are my best friends and my family. My mum can tell me: "Bill, that's sick!" and I'd think about it.


VF: Do your parents still try to parent you?
Bill Kaulitz:
I have to say, our mum never really did this. Doing homework was optional. She left us free space but always watched over us. There's a huge confidence between us. We are like friends. There's really nothing I wouldn't tell my mum. And I never had a secret she didn't know about. When I came home drunk for the first time, she said what she thought about it, but I didn't need to be afraid of her.


VF: Does your mum ask you to leave your hair at least on christmas alone?
Bill Kaulitz:
No. She really doesn't care. I colored my hair for the first time when I was 9 years old. They were alternating between green, blue, white and black. I got my eyebrow piercing when I was 13. She was really laid-back.


VF: About 200 female teenager collapse from ecstasy during your concerts, they hold up posters with slogans like "Fuck me through the monsoon". How does it feel to know that millions of girls project their sprouting sexual fantasies onto you?
Bill Kaulitz
: I don't think about it much, to be honest. Sometimes we look at each other and have to laugh because we just can't imagine that someone has posters of us on their walls. But I always thought it would be cool to hang at someones wall. In the past, I often sat in my room, thinking about what my idol Nena is doing, where she is and what she's thinking. I can't quite believe that other people now sit in their rooms and think about me. To me, I'm so normal, we are so unspecial to each other. We are oblivious to ourselves.


VF: How often do you think about yourself in third person?
Bill Kaulitz:
Sometimes. But accidentally. When I'm unmotivated to do something, I think: Bill should do it nonetheless, because it's good for the band.


VF: Your aplomb appearance in public appears to be eldrich for some people. Is there a difference between the character Bill and the real Bill?
Bill Kaulitz
: You keep some things to yourself. But apart from that, there are no great differences perforce. The last three years were a run without break. There wasn't a cut when you arrived somewhere and had some private time. Even on tour we had cameras all around us, 24 hours a day. How can you experience something that not everyone knows about only a few hours later? But that's what I always wanted. Thus I have to cope with it.


VF: Those we envy rarely feel enviable. What's the most annoying thing about being Bill?
Bill Kaulitz:
The main problem of people like me is to trust. It's hard for me to believe someone and let myself go. During the past years I didn't make any new friends and I didn't fall in love. When I meet someone, I'm really careful and skeptic and ask myself: What's behind this? One unfortunately often meets people who turn out to be weird or tell something to the press. If I wouldn't be this famous, I would have probably fallen in love with someone I know a long time ago.


VF: Who betrayed your trust the worst?
Bill Kaulitz:
I never let myself go so far that someone would have been able to do that. I wear a shield. To go out and get to know someone without telling someone beforehand is the biggest thing you have to forgo. Still, my current life is what I always wanted.


VF: Is the problem of trust the reason why stars often hook up with stars?
Bill Kaulitz:
Yes. Angelina Jolie doesn't have to worry that Brad Pitt only uses her for becoming famous. A celebrity prefers someone who has the same life and is into this lifestyle as well. My girlfriends never understood why I went to our rehearsal room right after school and why I preferred to perform in clubs at the weekend, instead of sitting in front of the TV with them. Of course it's so much more difficult today. Who wants to live this life with you? And of course the person would also have to understand that you can't just get out of this life.


VF: When were you last in love?
Bill Kaulitz:
Three and a half years ago. I haven't found the one big love. I don't think everbody finds it. And if so, only once. In my situation, I would need much luck to find it.


VF: With 18 years, don't you prefer to make out endlessly anyway?
Bill Kaulitz:
I don't know. Precisely because of this life I would prefer to find the one big love instead of making out. I want to share my little time with someone I know about: This is the one!


VF: Did you already say "I love you" to a girl?
Bill Kaulitz:
Yes. But I didn't mean it. I should have said "I like you." The older I get, the more serious I take those differences. Tom probably always says "I love you" to a girl to get her into bed.


VF: Do you compete for the same girls?
Bill Kaulitz:
We like the same type. And our girlfriends were always friends with each other. It was godawful, cause they did always gang up on us. Our first kiss happened with the same girl. Tom was first. The day after that, she started kissing me. Then we were both over and done with it. Oh god, we thought it was shit - as awful as the first kiss is.

VF: How old were you back then?
Bill Kaulitz:
Eleven. She was three years older and experienced.


VF: When had Tom his first sex?
Bill Kaulitz:
He was 14, if I remember correctly.


VF: It's said that Tom goes through women like there's no tommorow.
Bill Kaulitz:
I let him do whatever he wants. That he has the nerve to get someone else every night. I wouldn't fancy this. But we were always different when it came to that.


VF: Your colleague Robbie Williams once told us that there are two kinds of groupies in Germany. One kind wants to take a photo during the sex to have a proof to show their friends. The other kind would ask "Robbie, are you sure your feelings for me are real?" during the sex.
Bill Kaulitz:
Tom also tells me this. Since we're on the road so much, I didn't take anyone to my bed. It disgusts me, to have someone I don't even know in my bed every night. I didn't reach this point yet. I wouldn't have the confidence to take a girl up to my room for one night. The only private thing you have while on tour, is your hotel room. And to let someone sleep there for one night - no, I'd be really skeptic.


VF: Did you already have sex?
Bill Kaulitz:
I want this to be my secret.


VF: Does it surprise you that some people think you're gay?
Bill Kaulitz:
Not at all. Most of them have this cliché way of thinking: make-up plus styled hair equals gay. I wanted to set this statement, that this is not the case. Everyone can do what he wants. One thing doesn't necessarily have to do with the other.


VF: What would you do if you were a girl for one day?
Bill Kaulitz:
I'd definitely not hook up with my brother.


VF: But?
Bill Kaulitz:
Oh my god, what would I do? Probably the same as I do now, cause I don't tell it apart.


VF: What would you like to forbid girls?
Bill Kaulitz:
Not being jealous, because jealousy is very important. When I'm in love I immediately claim everything and don't let go anymore. It would drive me crazy if my girlfriend would tell me: "Bill, I don't care about all those screaming girls. I totally trust you."


VF: Were you ever deceived?
Bill Kaulitz:
No. I also never deceived someone. Faithfulness is the most important thing for me.


VF: How did you annoy your girlfriends?
Bill Kaulitz:
I speak really loud. The whole day. And always with hands and feet. And I never let people talk. Everyone's annoyed by that.


VF: Which is harder: loving someone else or loving oneself?
Bill Kaulitz:
Oneself. It's really hard to stand by everything you are. There are incredibly many moments in which I'm insecure and would love to dig a hole to crawl in, pull a blanket over myself and stay there for a year. Sometimes I'm glad we're in this rush and have one concert after the other, this way you don't have time to think much. You just don't have time for loneliness.


VF: Can you still live without a celeb-sitter?
Bill Kaulitz:
I can't just go to the bakery. So of course someone else does this. But I'm still suitable for daily use, because my problem is that I'm incredibly perfectionist. I can't let other people do things. It's abnormal - and gets worse. Everything has to be fixed into detail, cause I need to know exactly what's coming up. Or else I go crazy. Tom's also this stressed out. Although we pay so many people to relieve us of some things. But we created all this, so it's hard for us when other people lay hand on Tokio Hotel.


VF: Do you also control your finances yourself?
Bill Kaulitz:
Yes. I already did this when I was 13. I have access to all accounts and control this just like I control my career.


VF:
Do you know how many millions you've got?
A woman with clipboard from the record label shouts from the background: "No talk about money!"


VF: When will you buy your parents a villa?
Bill Kaulitz:
As soon as I can afford it. I definitely want to live together with my parents. We're so close, I wouldn't think of it being a strain. There are no limits where I'd say: "Oh my god, now please go out."


VF: Let's assume that you're kidnapped. What would be a reasonable amount for a ransom?
Bill Kaulitz:
As much as all my friends could get together. Of course they should get their money back in the end.


VF: What do you think about the fall of Britney Spears?
Bill Kaulitz:
I can understand how something like that can happen, because I live the same life. Other people probably think: "She has money, she achieved everything, why doesn't she just relax?" I couldn't imagine myself being a solo artist and to be alone on the road all the time. I don't trust myself to carry this huge pressure alone.

Bill Kaulitz: Of course it's a funny statement. But I can totally understand it, cause there's no stop. You don't just say: "Well, now I'm famous in Germany and that's enough." You aspire to be everywhere as succesful as possible. Even if I'd be immensely wealthy and would own my own island, I'd still go on. It's right: Fame is a drug. The detox would be a blow, I would hardly be able to handle.


VF: If drugs weren't illegal which would you like to try?
Bill Kaulitz:
Something relaxing that leads to me not needing to control everything anymore.


VF: Are you a star in your dreams?
Bill Kaulitz:
I once had a nightmare: I lie in bed, in a room made of glass and all around me are photographers, who take tons of pictures of me. I say to our team: "Shit, shit, can't you just get them out of here?" But one guy says: "No, I can't do that. You've got an appointment and you overslept." But I never missed an appointment. I always have three alarm clocks, so that I don't oversleep. And I'm never unpunctual.


VF: Why did no one ever see you dance?
Bill Kaulitz:
I never dance. I just sit in the corner - unless I'm really drunk. I do it then. I think, dancing is a girls-thing. Even though is might sound chavvy: Only girls have to dance everywhere.


VF: Do you somethimes think about your own funeral?
Bill Kaulitz::
I have to say: Yes. My friends, who are the same age as me, also think about it. You imagine who would be there and who would really cry for you.


VF: Which music should be played at your burial?

Bill Kaulitz: "Magic Dance" of David Bowie from the movie "Labyrinth". It's a really funny song and "Labyrinth" is a movie from my childhood and I still love it to pieces.

VF: What will you wear in your coffin?
Bill Kaulitz: I wear everything black and a leather jacket. My last will would definitley be that my hair is styled. I'll hopefully have enough hair left. If not, someone should definitely put a wig on my head.

From http://www.tokiohotelus.com/:

Tokio Hotel and their sensational victory at the MTV Video Music Awards in L.A.: are Bill (19), Tom (19), Georg (21) and Gustav (20) now wandering of to America?

Experts are sure that only a complete shift to the USA can guarantee our four Magdeburger boys the long waited for international success!

"For a world career it is really important," tells music expert Thomas Stein (59). "They have to be present at all times. That's what the fans demand. They want to have their stars near. Otherwise the euphoria will go away pretty quickly."

"Tokio Hotel" don't make a secret of the fact that they feel happy in the States. In New York they surprised thousands of fans early this year with their concerts.

Will MTV success trap the band in the US forever? Bill&Co showed more than once that they are excited about this American adventure. After the whole tour stress the boys want to go back home to Germany.

Bill to Bild: "I can't imagine living anywhere else than Germany right now. In the last three years so many things have happened. Everything is just like a dream."

The rockstar thinks really calm about it: "All the travelling is printed in my thoughts," Bill tells: "It's just that awesome. I am happy about every single day, that I can sleep in my own bed."

Tom smiles: "My little brother is homesick. He is only talking about his own bed in Germany."

So: First it's bye-bye USA, Hello Germany. Tomorrow the band is flying back home.
