Subject: Fan2 Interview in France Thu Oct 29, 2009 9:44 pm
Fan2 interviewed Tokio Hotel when they were in France and asked a lot of random questions.At the end Tom sings a line of “Frère Jacques”. Check out the video and translation below.
You seem to have decided to call to your new album Humanoid because you are semi-humans or semi-robots. Is this true?
Bill: I cannot confirm that we come from another planet, you have to ask our parents about that! Nevertheless, this is a feeling that we have had inside of us since we were really young, that is true. You are very extravagant. Bill: No, that’s not true! We pay close attention to our money and do not spend it without thinking. Anyhow, I think that each of us knows how much we have in our accounts.
Being celebrities prevents you from finding love … Tom: It’s true (c’est vrai, he says it in French) Bill: yes! (oui) Georg: I have had a girlfriend for six months. I have found love! Bill: Since Tokio Hotel started, I have not been in love, and I have never been in a serious relationship. It is difficult, even complicated, to make new relations, friends or to fall in love. Fortunately, we have not lost sight of the people we’ve been close to for a long time, and those relations have became more and more close. Our old friends did not leave us.
Your fantasy, it must be to date a fan … Tom: Fantasy? No, this is a reality! Bill: I do not know how to answer this…
Bill almost lost his voice … Bill: Yes this is true. I had an operation on my vocal cords during the European tour. I might have lost my voice but I touch wood, everything went very well!
You would love to be unknown again …
Bill: There are some inconveniences with our job, like having a hard time to find true love, but I do not want to change our lives. We are living our dream now! We made it real and we are very happy seeing that our fans still wait for us outside the hotel!
Bill’s name is in fact William …
Tom: That’s true! (laughs) Bill: You are wrong! I can give you proof that my name is Bill. We are Bill and Tom, even if Tom is named Thomas! (laughs) Tom: Yes and Bill is named William!
Do you hate Jonas Brothers?
Bill: No, we do not hate them! To hate someone you have to know them.
You sing in playback and you try to pretend your concerts are live…
Bill: Certainly not! This is a rumor that has been floating around the Internet. Anyone who has been to our concerts know that we play live, and that it is not playback!
Your music can be harmful for mental health …
Bill: I have never heard this! Tom: I have noticed some problem in Georg’s conduct, so it is completely possible. You love France … Bill (in French): Oui, Oui! A long time ago, we came to Paris, we said to each other that this is a very nice city, there is a real feeling here, and we have superfans here!
