Wetten Dass interview Part 2 with English Translation

Miriam: Do you …you have to give up quiet a lot…you get a lot in return…you are in a very privileged situation…do you have to give up more than you get in return…or is it in balance?

Bill: Actually we’ll get a lot more back in return….otherwise we would not do this anymore…i would have emigrated somewhere

Miriam: Is is still possible? Could you live without this whole hype?

Bill: No…in the long run…you can not live without it…If you have been producing and writing for almost a year…you can not wait to present it….you want people to listen to it.. The other day i was thinging about it…it is so wicked..how lucky we are, that we are able to do it…to emotionalize people and to reach them with our music..we make them dancing, laughing and screaming…that is so awesome…we have done it by being so young and we still do it..that is so awesome..Sometimes, when i left the studio and i had just recording a song….i think…wicked…that is the way how you earn your money..it is your life…and that is most awesome…

Miriam: The less we understand those people, who worked their entire life only for the momet that they could stop working…like only three years..then i have done it…

Bill: Oh well….it depends on your job…

Tom: I guess it is already ….the purpose of those people or what they want to say is, if they stop working … it is awesome if you have the freedom to be on vacation for a year.. for one year you do nothing….. For example we…we worked for almost 5 years now.. and there was no vacation…so i could image to be on vacation for two weeks now

Miriam: But now..it starts again with a lot of promo, with headlines, which you can hear and read…a lot of nasty comments too…I suppose by being so famous you deal with all these nasty comments very relaxed..don’t you?

Bill: At least this belongs to Tokio Hotel as everything else….I guess….for the public it is surprising…how much hate we trigger…Honestly i would be shocked if it wouldn’t be like this….I am so happy, that again people are going to hate us so much with the new album…..or freaking out by seeing us…

Miriam: If they hate me…i reached my goal…

Tom: That is the only thing that i firmly expect…Many people asked about the success and ok… for you it will be automatic . and we always say …no….. you don’t think about this in the studio…the only thing that we can assume is the fact…that they will hate us for it….

Miriam: But this is nice

Tom: Absolutly

Miriam: A keen sense

Bill: At least those people made us… Even by being very young Tom and I had always our expierence with it… It did not matter what we have done…there were always people who hated it incredibly…it has just grown…because more people know it…but they belong to us and i don’t want to miss them…

Miram: But when does fun stop? . You read this headlines…about many you don’t care in your situation…At what point you have the feeling…now i am doing something against it…now it is over?

Tom: It is going to be critical at that point, when you notice the hate prevails

Bill: That sucks of course ….they still have to be people who like it and what to listen to it….as long as they are there you can deal with it

Miriam: The Goethe Insitut in france released a study that many people want to learn german because of you. Tokio Hotel fans again want to learn german…What are the key phrases that you would like to teach them from the begining..

Gustav: Watch out…it is ZDF….

Miriam: Ok…the first phrase will be …. Watch out it is ZDF

Tom: Hm…we do always…..we have a standard phrase (OMG…i just noticed that they Peeped Tom…on the backstage video…on the official ZDF- side…hahahaha…show me you plum…there is now a peep ) Show me you plum…this is more for the males…it is very nice…and it works in Germany…

Miriam: Ja..it is nice..

Tom: Show me your plum…what do we teach more? Hallo, your are beautiful…i love you…

Miriam: Oh the classics…

Tom: But show me you plum was always the best…

Miriam: Awesome…it is a nice phrase…you should print it on t-shirts…you could make much more money……The hook-up-phrases as usual…do you still have a lot of groupies in your hotelroom?

Tom: Bill..or who?

Miriam: Well i simply talk to you personally

Tom: I don’t want to say that i calm down…i just hope that i could find something on a long term basis…i am longing for a relationship…i am longing to fall in love…it did not happen to me until now.. i don’t think it is that bad…but i feel the desire

Miriam: Ooohhhh

Bill: At least he becames mature…he learns by watching me…

Tom: I don’t know how it …

Bill: Dark hairs

Tom: Shut up…I don’t know how it feels to fall in love . As they have described it to me…it sounds very good. Georg has a girlfriend and all day he is talking about how much he is in love. And i want to expierence this by myself…

Miriam: But how does it work for you? And why for you and not for the others?

Georg: We talk on the phone every day…we try to deal with it…and if it is the true love…somehow it will work out…

Miriam: Now…everybody talked about it…so i have to ask you

Gustav: Single

Miram: And you want it and you like it or soon no longer?

Gustav: In the moment…i love to be a single. I have a stupid quote…but i can’t tell you

Miriam: Of course please

Gustav: No..i don’t tell it

Miriam: Oh please

Gustav: No…i don’t tell it

Miriam: In my ears..and i am not going to say it in the mircro…i am so curious

Gustav:Ja…it is secret..don’t tell it to anyone…ja, ja

Miriam: I swear..i am not going to tell it to anyone…i only want to know

Tom: It would hurt Georg …we don’t want to hurt him..we have to

Georg: Especialy you

Miriam: The glasses are in the album…the 3D-Glasses
