Tokio Hotel - Trabendo Session - part 2 (v AJ)

Succes in France…

Bill: It was just as inconceivable. We came to France, and the first time there were like, two or three people standing in front of the hotel, and some of them had followed us from Germany

Tom: We didn't have much hope [Laughs]

Bill: [Laughs] we didn't have much hope… we just played our music and had very little fans, but we were already happy we got some feedback here, and just thought, "okay, there are limits; we just have concerts in little clubs, just look around and kind of connect it with going on vacation". But then suddenly you could really see it getting better. We just came out of the hotel and there were photographers, and fans… And then suddenly we had a concert for 6000 people; it really went unbelievably fast. We could really see how it became more and more and that was really great for us. And is was really unexpected; we'd never thought about this, and still when we tell people they say, "That can't be true, they can't be listening to German music, that's so untypical", and it's still very weird for us. [Tom agrees]


Success in Europe…

Bill: Oh, I really don't know if you can compare those two. We just went on Europe Tour, and it was impressive for us - just the words; "Europe Tour" were just fantastic

Tom: "Tokio Hotel" linked with "Europe Tour"… That's just great…

Bill: And then we just went to Warsaw, Bratislava, Ostrava…

Georg: Hungary

Bill: Hungary… Where haven't we been? Well, we went to a lot of places… And then we got to the concerts halls and they were really crazy, they were full and we had a great time. And those are things we don't really hear of when we're back in Germany, and then suddenly we hear, "Wow, there are fans from Bratislava, writing to you and wanting to see you!". And now, with this tour, we actually went to these countries for the first time. it was really impressive… really it was truly great.


Best fan-trick?
Bill: That's really hard to say.
Tom: Yeah, every day we get different stuff, from kilometres long fan letters on which people worked incredibly hard to very personal letters that haven't got much to do with the music but in which they write just how they're doing, how we could help them or how our music helps them, and just tell us a bit about their lives. What of course moves us very much, because you read something very personal about someone, as a complete stranger so -
Bill: They also send us music, self-written music and poetry and so on, so it's really hard to choose the best one.

Tom: But you also have very crazy things, like you're sitting in a car and look out of the window and beneath you you see a fan driving a mini, totally styled like a "tokio hotel-car". So you got weird stuff, very personal stuff and very emotional stuff. There's just so much, I don't think we can fix on one.


Extreme fans? (If they're bothered by it)

Bill: No

Georg: No, actually

Tom: We never really had that

Bill: The more extreme the better; I mean, I'm happy when they're loud and having a good time and let it all out; they don't have to pretend. They should just do what they like and what they think is important. And when they're having fun and being loud it really doesn't scare us, it makes us happy that people can have such a good time because of us It's really hard to conceive that they scream that loud for those skinny three… [All laugh] Or for me either, we simply can't imagine that there are people standing there going crazy when they see us. Because for us we're so normal, we've known each other for such a long time and it's still the same, so it still makes us really happy when they're so loud.


Title of the second album?

[All laugh]

Tom: Well… well, Zimmer 483 (room 483) does certainly exist; it's some sort of bungalow in Spain. Last summer we went on holiday to Spain and wrote songs there, and the first song of the second album came to exist in the garden of that bungalow where it was really… messy actually… So we thought, "well, this is bungalow 483, it kind of looks like all our other practice spaces". We'd kind of turned that entire bungalow in our classic image of an practice room…

Georg: Food everywhere…

Tom: Food everywhere, very messy, no sunlight; like always. So we thought, "okay, 483, let's call our album Zimmer 483, because here we made the first step to our second album". So that's where the name comes from.


An English album?

Bill: Yes, well, it's already done actually, it's a mix from the first and the second German albums, and yeah, it's actually just a translation of the texts, it's really a one-to-one translation. Just so people understand our lyrics. For the people who are to lazy to translate them for themselves, we just thought we'd make the first step by recording them in English, just so people will understand them.

Tom: Of course it's mainly for England and other countries where they already speak English.

Bill: But we just wanted people to understand our lyrics, to get our message. That has always been very important to us, and that the only reason we did it actually.


Music, movie…

Bill: I had a great lot of fun synchronising that movie. It was a lot of work, but it has been fun; it was a nice new experience for me, and I think that's one of the great things of our profession. We're making music, we're doing exactly what we want the whole day long, and there are so much open doors for us with other things behind them; we can try out lots of things, like playing in a movie once, or synchronising one once.

Tom: But that doesn't mean at all that we use that as a reason to completely get into the world of movies, I think we're all very satisfied here in the music business, I think we'll always keep making music and -

Bill: Yes, I believe it's all just to experiment

Tom: Yes, exactly

Bill: To try stuff out, to discover your own limits, just to have new experiences; going new ways once, but the origin, that what we'll always keep doing the rest of our lives, is of course the music.

Tom: Merci beaucoup

Bill: Merci

Gustav: Merci

Georg: Merci
