BRAVO articles

[midori]

With TH being "back" and BRAVO fearturing the regularily I thought we might start a thread for BRAVO articles.

There's a new one this week and it's the most adorable thing... well, almost. It's about Bill and his dog. So cute! *aww* There's also a short article about the twins' birthday party in the Heide-Park with more pictures. They really seem to have had a blast.


Scans and translations are on our website now.

As our website is still down, I'll post translations here and on myspace for the time being.

Bravo # 40, 23rd September 2009

(original German text: Stefan Weber)

"WE WANT TO GO TO HOLLYWOOD!"

Tokio Hotel are really at full throttle. Bill and Tom already plan big with the new songs barely having arrived.

Nicole Scherzinger picture: Stars everywhere! Tokio Hotel feel completely contented in Los Angeles! Here [on this picture] Tom (left) and Bill (right) are just chatting to Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls.

Quote: “Los Angeles has got so much energy that I want to absorb.”

Wetten dass? TV tip: 8.15pm on ZDF on 3rd October (live from Freiburg): Tokio Hotel will rock for their German fans! Many big stars will be there, e.g. Nelly Furtado! By the way, “Wetten dass..?” can be found on youtube as well now!

Band picture: Bye, bye Germany? Tom and Bill (right behind Gustav and Georg) are drawn to the capital of glamour: Los Angeles

Three good reasons to move to LA: Love, parties and celebrities

Automatisch and Humanoid cover pictures: The new album “Humanoid” will be released worldwide on 2nd October – the Single “Automatisch” has been available since 18th September


What a massive shock for all Tokio Hotel fans: Finally the super band is celebrating their comeback in Germany – and the guys want to leave their home country! Extreme! Firstly front man Bill (20), guitarist Tom (20), drummer Gustav (20) and bassist Georg (21) will rock the TV show "Wetten, dass..?" (8.15pm on ZDF) on 3rd October. However, after their big performance it could be that Bill and Tom make themselves scarce soon again. Their dream: To leave their adopted home Hamburg behind and move to California! Singer Bill reveals during the BRAVO interview: “We want to go to Hollywood!“ The guys know the place very well. After all they have recorded the new record “Humanoid” (released 2nd October) in Los Angeles! Now they also want to live there! Bill: “We just feel comfortable in Los Angeles. That city has got so much energy that I want to absorb. I would find it super if we’d have an apartment in Hollywood.” The twins are especially taken with the parties and proximity to other celebrities. “We got to know Jay-Z for example. That was totally cool. He was just funny and relaxed even though he’s such a mega star.” The four of them could even make the acquaintance of super girl Miley Cyrus (16). They are not friends with “whirlwind” Miley yet though. “But we constantly cross paths in Los Angeles”, Tom tells. That is exactly what the twins love about Los Angeles: here they do not stand out immediately which is quite different to Hamburg or even their hometown Magdeburg. There they get recognised everywhere, their every step gets followed and [they] get besieged. In Hollywood on the other hand they could move freely – because it is other celebrities that are in the limelight here. Including paparazzi alert, fan hype, groupies! Talking about groupies: Even Tom has had enough of one-night-stands and superficial flirts. The heartbreaker is longing for a real relationship for the first time in his life: “Now I think about love completely different. I would be happy to really fall for someone for once!” Love, parties, celebs – three good reasons for a move. However, their German fans do not have to be flustered now. Bill clarifies: “Germany is and will be our home. For the future we'll also attach great importance to being home as often as possible.” At least a little ray of hope for the fans…

Well, bye Tokio Hotel
good luck in Hollywood.
Too good to be true we knew we'd loose them sometime or another
Don't be surprised when you find them washed up celebrities...

[NaomiOfC]

eugh. that's all i can say. >_<

[Mairi]

Ach I bet bravo went a bit over the top, the way it's worded it doesn't sound like the way the guys themselves would say it. I bet they just mentioned they were thinking of investing in getting a second home out there while they're touring or something and this is what the end result was after telling the magazine.

[Mistress Snowy aka Yuki-sama]

I've never been a religious reader of Bravo tbf, but I really don't like how they portray TH. I really don't.

[Helen Therese Sunniva]

well....not alot to say tbh ....
well if the boys want to do that, they should do it.

[Soubi]

Hmm, thought I'd add this in here as it mentions the Bravo article, this is from the Live Habbo chat Tokio Hotel did yesterday.

Question 1: Why did you produce Humanoid in English and in German?
Tokio Hotel: Because German will always be a part of us.

Question 2: Bill, why are all the Songs on the Album so sad?
Tokio Hotel: Not all ofthe Songs are sad, you don't even know all of them.

Question 3: One of the Habbo's read in BRAVO that you'll move to Hollywood. Is this true?
Tokio Hotel: No, it's not true.

Question 4: Bill, did you already do your parachute jump?
Bill: No - unfortunately not, but I really want to do it

Question 5: How did you get the idea for "Automatisch" and who had it?
Tokio Hotel: Bill had the idea in the car. After that we drove directly to the studio and recorded the song.

Question 6: Will there be a Tour? A lot of the Habbo's would love to see you live
Tokio Hotel: Yes, there will be a big Tour at the beginning of 2010

Question 7: Did your relationship change with all the fame?
Tokio Hotel: Yes, Georg is no longer exclusively in love with Tom ;')

Question 8: You are a Band which polarizes, how do you handle all the critique? Does it strain you sometimes?
Tokio Hotel: We laugh about it...just don't let it affect you.

Question 9: Did something ever go really wrong on stage?
Tokio Hotel: Bill has once hewn out a corner of his tooth with the microphone.

Question 10: Gustav, why did you decide to wear glasses instead of contact lenses?
Tokio Hotel: Gustav never wore contact lenses, he thinks the glasses suit him

Question 11: In which language did you record the songs from the new Album first - German or English?
Tokio Hotel: It was different every time, we always wrote both versions of the Songs parallel

Question 12: Which is your favorite Song on the new Album? Do you like different ones?
All: Automatic/Automatisch

Question 13: Do you have musical role models?
Tokio Hotel: No, we never had musical role models. In private all of us listen to different music

Tokio Hotel: Yes, we had some new influences, but you can still hear that it's Toko Hotel

Question 15: Will you come to Austria? Greece?
Tokio Hotel: We're currently planning - but Austria is on the list. We're in Greece on October 9 and we're really looking forward to being there

Frage 16: Georg, do you plan on playing whithout a shirt at the new Tour?

Question 17: Which are your favorite Bands except of yourself?
Tokio Hotel: Black Questionmark and Devilish

Question 18: How did you come up with the idea of the "Automatisch" Video?
Tokio Hotel: We immediately had the feeling that something with cars will fit and we especially didn't want to hire some actors for the video, that's why we came up with the idea of the Roboters

Question 19: Favorite dish?
Tokio Hotel: Penne with Tomato-Cream Sauce and Pizza

Question 20: Which one of you is still Single?
Tokio Hotel: Everyone except of Georch (Cmmt.: Yes, they really wrote Georgs name like that XD)





Italian Habbo chat:

Where are Georg and Gustav?
Bill: They are here beside me.

How your songs are created?
Bill: Each one of us has a personal connection with a certain song. That's why there isn't just a source, but many of them.

After you became famous, have you kept your old friendships?
Bill: Yes, but we couldn't make any new friends. We don't have enough time.

Which kind of girl do you like?
Bill: Every girl!

Have you ever fought for a girl?
Bill: No. It never happened. No girl can come between us.

Which song will be your next single?
Bill: We don't know yet.

Have you ever run into any obstacles in your career?
TH: There is an obstacle every day - we just need to stay together. Without Tom we wouldn't be where we are now.

How was your first gig and how did you felt?
Bill: It was just me and Tom. We were at a wedding. We were really nervous.

Do you have anything to teach to your fans?
TH: We don't want to teach anything to anybody.
