Germany, France, England or the U.S.: No matter where the guys show up - everywhere the same scenes: fans, who totally freak out, who scream the names Bill (19), Tom (19), Gustav (20) and Georg (21), who can sing the songs along. Many TH-fans go even further, making clear offers their darlings - for example on gross poster slogans: “F**k me through the monsoon” or “Tom, we want to give you a blow job” are almost hamrless. In the fifth part of the great BRAVO-series, the boys reveal exclusively what there’s real - between them and the fans …What are you saying about the partial hard slogans of your fans?TOM: I think it’s cool, that our fans are so directly (grins).
BILL: That makes our fans. But to be honest: Initially, we were sometimes short of breath..
What were the most beautiful experiences sp far with your fans?BILL: The first gig after “Durch den Monsun” was published - and suddenly so many fans were singing the song along. The concert had even canceled, because the crowd was too big. This has overwhelmed me!
TOM: Just until we were in Mexico. Once we had about two hours to write autographs. The fans were so touched, and many have even creid, just because we were there. It was so gross. We were also previously never in the South American country and didn’t know, that we are so known. And suddenly there were thousands of people. It was really unbelievable.
Were there once really gross situations with fans?TOM: Oh yes. In Madrid once the situation was out of control. Gustav went into his hotel room. But in his bed were already fans. They were fallen Gustav directly around his neck and he has become so frightened. At Bills and my room were already quite a lot in front of the door. They have constantly knocked, they climbed up the fire brigade, have totally screamed.
BILL: Then suddenly the police appeared. They have entered the door and drag me out of the room. “Are you Bill Kaulitz?” they have screamed. Then they took my hands together, interrogated me and claimed that I was responsible for the cahos. The problem was: They couldn’t speak English, they only spoke Spanish. I hardly understand something. Tom has then tried to contact our security people. When they arrived, the matter could be resolved. The police really wanted me to take to their police station.
But here, the fans went too far, or?BILL: Well, that was traumatic and violent..
TOM: But since we were holding on as a band - then it bothers us really not. That’s just a part of it and makes us not be afraid or so. While it was already gross, but also actually funny again. But if we are at home, we’re glad about tranquility. Then we’re not giving autographs and taking photos. But if we’re on the road, we’re doing this for sure.
Were you already nasty to your fans?TOM: So we would never be knowingly nasty to our fans. They are too much important for us.
BILL: We certainly never wanted to do something nasty to them. We love them. But everyone has a bad day and looks bad. Sometimes we just couldn’t give everyone an autograph. Then we’re in stress and must continue to the next appointment. We’re constantly on the road for our fans and we’re for sure no assholes.
Hand on the heart - were there also some embarrassing moment with your fans?TOM: Nope. Only once, a girl wanted to come with me to my hotel room and fall down on the way.
BILL: Or the scene at the airport: There were girls screaming “We want to f**k you” -
right in the dead silence there. That was then embarrassing, but more for them.
Tom, how many groupies did you have had in your bed?TOM: Hmmm, that’s really difficult to say. I don’t count.
BILL: Yeah, but he has such a clicker (laughs)!
TOM: What I can say, I had more often a woman in my bed than I was on the toilet (laughs loud).
No, nonsense! Now seriously: I’m even become somewhat quieter.
That means..?TOM: I still don’t get it by myself - but perhaps with 19 I already rejected the horns. Not that sex would become boring. But I also prefer watching a DVD in the evening. The other is indeed very strenuous (grins). Meanwhile, I could even imagine something stronger. But the girl really would have to strike me.
And how about the groupies by Georg and Gustav? Are they so wildly like Tom?TOM: As far as we know, there is nothing (laughs)!
BILL: There are no guys, which represent a girl. Gustav had at the
beginning of our career a girlfriend. But even then was nothing more.
TOM: Georg is doing so as if he were a macho. But he prefers it, when she’s offensive.
BILL: Inside, he’s dirty but outwardly too shy.
TOM: You have to show him what’s happening. There were for sure already some girls, who liked him and the other way too. But none did the first step. With me it’s different - I belong to the hunters and collectors.
And what about you, Bill - there was still no kiss for you?BILL: No, not yet. That totally makes me really sad. I’m 19 now and that’s missing me completely. I’d really like to have a girlfriend, with whom I could share my life, whom understands everything, what I do. Although I have Tom. But I absolutely want a girlfriend.
But the offer is huge for you?BILL: It’s difficult to open yourself to someone. I have no time, I’m always on the road. When I meet on a after-show-party girls, I never know what they really want. I also see in the near future no way - that’s bad. But I still have the music, this is my backup. And dogs are my substitutes. Sometime, I want to have many dogs. They make me happy!!

“I admire Tokio Hotel”
What a compliment. Worldstar Nicole is Impressed by Bill, Tom, Georg and Gustav.who would have thought. Nicole Scherzinger (30), leadsinger of the Pussycatdolls “and an absolute worldstar, outed herself as a fan from one of german’s bands, Tokio Hotel! In an exclusive Bravo Interview she says: “I admire the boys completely!(who cares) They are really great.” But how and when did she find out about Bill, Tom, Gustav and georg? “At the MTV Europe music awards 2007 in Munchen”, she says. at the mega event in november last year, the 4 Madgeburger boys and the US-singer crossed paths for the first time and they talked a long time at the after show party. In february, Nicole actually visited a Tokio Hotel concert in Los Angeles, CA.(oh really?)”the boys are fantastic. I love their performances”. Then they finally met up again at the VMA’s in Los Angeles, where Tokio Hotel won the award for best new artist. Again the 30 year old was fascinated by the boys. “I think they are totally talented. The boys are simply totally fresh. They are so different and new. that is cool.” Appearently so cool that the singer is seriously thinking about working together with Bill, Tom, Georg and Gustav. “I used to be in a rockband, because of that i can imagine recording a rocksong with them”. (eww)And what does the singer think about the career opportunities of the boys in America? would they be able to make their Big Breakthrough? “They have just been to the USA for a short while. But they were a big hit right away! I am so proud of them”. Wow, and that from the mouth of a PussyCatDoll. At this moment she herself is very succesfull worldwide with her girls: with the hit single: when I grow up from the new album, Doll domination. But maybe soon Nicole will be in the top ten with a new Rock Song. As co-singer with Tokio Hotel.
Και μια συνέντευξη που θα μας αφήσει κάγκελο...
You’ve gone a long way since your beginning with Devilish, your first band.Will those songs re-emerge some day under the name Tokio Hotel?Bill: No!! for heaven’s sake!
Gustav: Why would we do something like that? Not even for all the gold of world, we won’t do an album with the Devilish songs!
Georg: I know that some of those records are still in circulation, but we want to warn the fans: don’t buy them on Ebay, it’s not worth it!
Bill: It’s our stupid past! And please, don’t ask me more about it! Anyway, it won’t be done. Although we can’t deny that it still being the same band, the same music, but the level is far from being the same. It was horrible, I can’t say it with other words! Then we were young, we were just starting. We were proud of what we were doing and what we played on stage. Of course, it’s part of us.
Tom: “Leb die Sekunde” is based on a Devilish song, that…
Bill: (interrupting immediately)… that has developed a lot!
Georg: There is always a part of Devilish within us, even now!
