WITH TRANSLATION Viva tv Tokio Hotel part 3

Viva: You had a spectacular performance with the falling water for the VMA's.
Tom: It was EMA's.

Viva: Oh okey. But I had an impression that that performance was a kind of 'breaking point' in your carreer. Because there were a lot of people who didn't already know you guys and afterwards they said ' What was that ?! '. Did you know that and are there still effects because of that day?
Bill: I have to say, when you're on stage and you hear people scream 'Booh', I never get feared. Actually these are moments that I feel encouraged to do better, to make these people like it too.
Of course we knew that the EMA's were a big thema, so we arranged the performance with the water. We were soo nervous for peoples reactions.
Now we are totally satisfied with the whole performance of that day. We are really proud of it. That was a day in our carreer to be never forgotten. These days when I'm watching the performance again, or I see a picture of it, It makes me happy, it was so cool.

Viva: Do you think people in foreign countries see 'Tokio Hotel' in an other way than people in Germany?

Bill: Yes, but I have to say, crazy people who hate us and wants to kill us, are in all countries. Automaticly with the first fan, the first hater is there.
Tom: But you can never really know what people in other countries think about you. Even here in Germany we don't really know.
Bill: But the thing is, in other countries we were a lot older than here in Germany. Tom and me were already 18. People didn't talk about our age, people talked about our music in first place. And here our age was a little problem, because who likes to say that he loves music wich is made by 15-aged kids? So that is a little difference with other countries, but haters and stuff, we have in all countries.

Viva: And in Sweden, you can even buy your bandshirts in punkrock-shops.
Bill: Yeah!
Viva: So that's a difference with Germany.
Tom: Yes, and it's really different from country to country. Often we just know a little about it. Of course we don't speak the language, so we don't understand what is written about us in the media. Everybody says something else, and I have no idea what people are talking about in Italia now.



Viva: Where did you get the craziest reactions?
Tom: Most of the reactions were positiv. The cool thing was that in every new country we came, there we already had a couple of fans. Our fans made it a little bit easier to contact all the record companies. Because that is really hard for a normal German band, it's not because you have succes in France, that people in Italy like your music too. In every country we had to start from nothing. A lot of record companies thought ' Ah, German band, that isn't interesting. '. So actually our fans made it a lot easier. Of course the number of fans is grown with time in every country. But we had already from the beginning a big support.

Viva: But you can't say in wich country are the most crazy fans?
Bill: No, there isn't just one country wich has the craziest fans. Every country has its own special thing. Of course there are days you think 'Holy **, today was really crazy".


Tom: For example, a really weird fanreaction was, from the beginning on, in Mexico. We were there for a signing session and ..

Bill: That was a huge suprise, we didn't expect to be famous in that country. We had never been there before. Then we went for the first time,we went out of the plane and there were already thousands of people waiting of us.
Otherwise sometimes you perform for the first time and there are so many fans. We didn't know the mania was already so huge there. These are really suprising moments.
Of course in every country there are experiences like this.

[CradleTheCrescent]

dang, iv been watching all the parts of this interview, and iv noticed every now and then, bill "re-adjusts" his shirt the way some girls do when they're "re-adjusting" their bras. lmao, i mean, i KNOW hes not wearing one, but doing that just gives haters another reason to make fun of him. c'mon bill, get your act together! <3 <3 <3

[HijaDelMar6]

Yes and it's not a rare thing to see him do that, getting himself comfortable. ;)

(I'm sorry, my German is getting good enough for me to read and understand comments, but not yet to write in it... I'm working on it though. ;) )
