INTERVIEW: Radio Carolina spoke with Tokio Hotel
We chatted exclusively with the guys from Tokio Hotel, they told us how they felt before their presentation in Spain on 28 November. The German band is very pleased with their coming visit to Chile, noting that their fans will witness a high quality show, filling the Movistar Arena with music and colors.Do you have high expectations about the concert in Chile?
Since a long time ago, we have always wanted to offer a concert in Chile and we are very pleased to finally be able to do so, but it was very difficult. So now we are very anxious to meet our fans and to offer a great show for them.
What does it mean to you that your music is so successful and representative of youth?
That's the biggest compliment one can receive as a band and artist. Because then we know that our music really excites them. Therefore, our second album we wanted to provide music for life, for people and for ourselves also that we are part of youth. Since the best compliment we could receive is that people and especially young people, identify with our music.
Do you have a hobby, something they like to do in your spare time or vacation?
"It's a very difficult question to answer. It's very complicated because Tokio Hotel is our life and we are dedicated to the group 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, we handle everything, from writing, producing .. . There's a lot more of Tokio Hotel's behind what people see! It requires much more dedication, as behind the scenes there is a lot of work, we have to write lyrics, compose, rehearse for shows, prepare, give interviews and all that is needed for Tokio Hotel. So you do not have much free time outside of the band. In addition, we have no hobbies, no other talent besides making music.
What is the relationship between the 2 of you? The relationship you have as brothers?
We believe that all twins in the world have a very strong and indestructible union. Our relationship is awesome, almost magical, because we dream the same and think alike. We are practically the same person. We have no problem between us. It is only logical to spend all our time together, eat together, go out together, do everything together.
Where did the name of your tour "Humanoid City" originate?
Well as it seems, we want to represent a city with a strange species of human. And what we wanted to show was a feeling that we have always had (Tom and me) to be on a planet that does not belong to us, because we grew up in a tiny town in Germany and it was horrible for us, we hated it and I always thought we were aliens on the wrong planet. Therefore, the name of the album and tour was named "Humanoid City."
We know that their concerts are always spectacular and cutting edge... Can your fans in Chile expect the same from this show?
Unfortunately we are not able to take all the production that we used in Europe. We can not even bring our own stage due to the remoteness. But I can tell you, it's going to be a great show. We are taking all of our costumes, lighting, fireworks and special effects. So our Chilean fans can be confident that they will witness a great show and we will make every effort to provide a very good and spectacular show.

INTERVIEW: Radio FM TU 103.7 - 14.10.2010 [Mexico]
TRANSLATION
We have promised and now they are on the phone - Tom and Bill!! Hi guys!
Bill & Tom: Hi!
When did you decide to come to Monterrey (Mexico)?
Bill: We had already planned it a long time ago to play a South America-Tour. So we are very happy, that we could finally managed it and that we are able to make it. We are really happy to see our fans and to play an own tour there. We are so pleased, that it worked out.
Now you are a successful band, but we have to remember that there was a time, when you played only in front of 500 people...now you play in front of thousands.
Bill: I think, this is the special thing for us as a band. We are a band since 10 years and experienced everything together. And that's the beauty of it, we know both sides. To play in little clubs and being not successful and the other side. And that makes us proud and we enjoy it, that we are able to go on tour on a different continent, unbelievable.
It must be very special for you guys, to play at exotic venues. Tell me, how was it like to play in front of more than 500.000 people at the Eiffel-Tower?
Bill: That was the most exciting point in our career. I guess that had been the most amount of people I ever saw. It was an incredible moment for us as a band. The scenery in front of the Eiffel-Tower. It was unique...a moment, that we as a band will always remember.
Tell me, where do you want to play and have never been before?
Tom: In Tokyo...and this dream will come true shortly, because in December we will fly to Tokyo.
Bill: And we would love to be the first band, to play on a different planet...somewhere. We really want to travel into the universe and play somewhere on a different planet.
This is not your first time in Latin America, you have already been in Mexico, but what are you thinking when you hear the word "Mexico"?
Tom: I remember of course awesome signing sessions, a lot of energy and we have only good experiences so far. Until now, we have been only in Mexico-City. We had great performances and we have of course very energetic fans...super.
Tell me which part do you enjoy the most during the performance at a concert?
Bill: The best moment is, when you go on stage, see for the first time the audience, how many people are there, and have the first contact to the audience. That's the moment I am looking forward in the evening. And of course it's wonderful, if all the people...you know that all the people are singing along. That are the most beautiful moments. But if you go on stage and have the first view, that's most special.
Finally, I would like to ask you...many European bands have the dream to conquer America. Is it also your dream? Is it important for you to conquer America?
Bill: It's very difficult, especially as a German band it is unbelievable difficult to establish yourself in America...yes, to start in someway. But we had already some great concerts over there, we have been on tour two times...but it is of course the biggest challenge for a German band to get famous in America.
So, to finish the interview... What can we expect in Monterrey on November 30th, when the lights turn off and the music of Tokio Hotel starts?
Bill: Of course we bring our show with us, that means...we are still on tour with "Welcome To Humanoid City". That's the focus. We pack a bit of our production, costumes and for sure the same setlist as it was for the European tour and we are really looking forward...I believe, it's going to be an energetic show.

VIDEO: Oliver Tanson Interview (22.02.10)
TRANSLATION :
B: We are extremely excited,we are always extremely nervous and that will never stop.
I think that just belongs to the whole thing,its sure that you are always nervous when you go on stage and ...but when you go on it and start,usually you relax very fast and then you just have fun.But i have to say,BEFORE we are extremely nervous.
B: The big difference this time is that we have our very own stage with us,yeah,that makes the difference.If you take a stage from the venue,which is already there at the place,ok then you dont have to drive it (the stage) all around...
And this time we have our own stage with us.So that's why everything is a bit more extravagant.
B:I stood when i was younger,when i was really young like...7 or 8 years at concerts of Nena and so on,in rain and i waited there and so on,...yeah..of course.
T: Georg and me took in the last album production phase,which was like almost a year, 2 weeks off and went with a tent in front of Jessica Alba's house and ...camped there a little bit. No no,she wasn't giving a concert there,she also wasn't opening the door, so that wasn't much successful buuuut..
But,..that are these small things that you just do sometimes ;)
B:Tom and me don't know it different,we grew up like that,and we caused even in young years hate in older people.But that's more a thing we enjoyed than to suffer because of that,and you really have to say,we wouldn't be there where we are now without having them,this haters.So,for some reasons we are like kind of ..thankful for that.
B: Usually people hate us or they really like what we do;something between that is very seldom.Tom and me grew up with that,also when we weren't doing music already ,we just had to enter the school bus and there was the same,so..this became like routine for us.
B: Good question !How can you today earn money as a musician...that's really hard i have to say!
T:But,we have a similar problem,because we spend so much money for the production on a tour that at the end of the day we don't even really make much money with a tour then.And CDs also get more and more less,so ..
B:So besides that,Georg is prostituting himself at the off-days.He's always standing close to the street then,you know,buuu' *GEORG INTERRUPTING HIM*
G :By the way,Bill is my best customer.
B: Yes,true.
B: I really think for all this newcomer people it really sucks today because in this times it gets more and more difficult to get a record deal which is good and to get into the big music business as an artist.Because people also don't invest anymore.So when i look on our own f****** music company, then....we know it.
B: Ok,we can speak especially about the last 5 years,when you look at the music record sector,then there are many old guys in the record companies who sit infront of their desks and cry.. For sure.Its really going down,you can really watch that looking at the last 5 years.
T: When did you get platinum ten years ago in Germany?That was maybe when you sold 2 millions of records.
B:Yeah,probably.
T:And today you already get it at 200.000 or something.
T: We also made the mistake,well,not saying we made a mistake,i think i would always do it the same way again; we never did things like taking contracts for some advertising or something like where we said 'Oh yeah lets do that to get more money or lets invent a Tokio Hotel lollipop' or something.We were always very careful with that we could really stand behind something and we really concentrated more on the tours and the albums and let everything else at the side which was there.
B: What do we wishhh for....we really wish to go to Asia next of course, we wish ... *TOM INTERRUPTING*
T: That the people buy the CDs and that the music industry will bloom again.
B: Yes,true.We wish for less illegal downloads for everyone.
B: Hey we are Tokio Hotel and we just had an interview with Oliver and it was .....
T: Okay.
G:Okay.
T:Okay.It was bearable.
B: It was überamazing.
