Interview Elcomercio - lima, Peru



Translation
Question 1: The first thing that I wanted to know is if you knew something of Peru before coming to here?
Bill:
 Erm, not really that much. Well, we’ve, erm... Actually we always let ourselves be surprised a bit and erm, actually [we] came here without high expectations and are totally happy about the reaction so far. We’ve already had very amazing fans that were somehow singing for us... *laughing* ... and screaming outside the hotel all night long. And we’re totally looking forward to the concert. [cut off]

Question 2: Speaking about the fans...the fans die for you! There have been girls who are waiting for you from Saturday where the concert will take place. What would you say to these girls? 
Bill: [I] would erm… Well, first of all I’d wish for everyone to somehow have a nice concert, I think. And apart from that we can only repeatedly say thanks for even being given the opportunity to come here as a band and to play concerts here and [we] are incredibly grateful for the fans supporting us like this and somehow, erm, [that they] are so into it and especially for, for living this entire life with us, right? That they really wait for us for days prior to the concerts, that they somehow stand outside the hotel and it’s definitely making us feel good even though we’re actually so far away from home. And erm, yes, we’re looking forward to, we’re looking forward to playing for them then and I’m just wishing a good time to everyone.
Tom: And already in advance I can only apologise for Georg playing the bass like sh*t. *Georg laughing* Well... I just want to say that first...
Bill: Beforehand...

Question 3: You two are twins. How of difficult is it to work together the whole day?
Bill:
 Actually, erm, not at all. I think, for us it would be weirder if we weren’t together because we, erm, have spent all our lives together of course. Erm, and I think between identical twins there is even more of a special connection that otherwise is hard to comprehend and grasp for an outsider. It really is something like, erm, yes, something very weird on some kind of a different level and erm... Therefore, it has always been very normal for us. Together we have... always done everything together. We are... [cut]
Bill: The same dogs.
Tom: *laughing* The same dogs. Actually we share, like, everything. So therefore working together is not an issue for us. That’s not the way we see it.

Question 4Bill, you were a lot of time fighting against the prejudices that existed for your image, your look... how was this process? This situation to fight against the prejudices? 
Bill: I have to say, actually I’ve always been quite self-confident. *laughing*
Georg: Too self-confident. *Tom laughing at Georg’s comment*
Bill: Therefore, I’ve always just been doing it. After all I also went to school like this and it was always obvious to me that of course people would feel provoked by it, erm, and that also was always a feeling that I liked somehow and therefore... Actually I grew up like that, that there have always been people that hated it and that there were other people that somehow liked it and somehow thought it was good.
Tom: The bigger… Of course the bigger part always thought it was sh*t and then there were a few people that liked it. And up until today it’s those few people he lives off.
Bill: Exactly. *smiling*

Question 5: I die to know, a few time ago the mass media, well...some months ago, they said that you had had an overdose for taking viagra. I wanted to know if it was true or not!
Tom [cut]: 
An overdose, erm, erm, one doesn’t know but erm, erm… It definitely lasted for a long time.
*Bill laughing*
Tom: And I made good use of the time.

Question 6: The fans die for you, are mad for you...the peruvian fans have some possibility of having something with you or what requirements would they have to have to be able to be with someone of the boys of Tokio Hotel?
Bill: *laughing* Erm sure, I mean, one, one, erm… Actually one doesn’t associate it with continents or countries. Erm, first of all basically everything is possible. Well erm, sure, if [...] us...
Tom:  *interrupting* Except for Georg, except for Georg.
Bill: Except for Georg. Georg is staken, yes.
*Georg nodding*
Bill: But other than that, erm… Of course anything could happen somehow. Like, who knows, maybe Tom falls in love with a girl from the first row tonight and... his...
Tom: For example in Brazil, I’ve had, erm, had a girl in the first row who, erm, erm, always flashed me when I looked at her and got completely undressed. That’s for example, let’s say, a good...
Georg: Start.
Tom: ... a good start. *laughing*

Bill: Erm, definitely hi to everybody who’s always on the website and erm… And we’re definitely happy about the support. Erm well, many, many thanks that you’re always there like this and erm, thanks for the lovely welcome greeting here at, in the hotel and erm…
Tom: As it’s said in Spanish: Muchas gracias.
Bill: Muchas gracias. *laughing*
Georg: Gracias. *laughing*
