THE CONFESSION – THEIR BIGGEST SECRETS!Everybody has got something to hide – even Bill, Tom, Gustav and Georg from Tokio Hotel. Only in BRAVO the guys are confessing everything now... (original German text: Sascha Wernicke, Meike Werkmeister)Bill: “I lie very often – nobody notices it because I’m so good at it!”Two brand new songs for the fans!Left Bill picture: Bill has never been to church to confess. Even though he’d have a lot to tell...

Bottom row of pictures: At the 6-Days-Race in Munich:
* 5 – The guys are performing three songs live. The fans sing along especially loud during the hit “Durch den Monsun”These guys are always good for a surprise! Tokio Hotel have recorded two previously unreleased songs as a very special thank you to their fans to go along with their new single “Schrei” (release on 25th November 2005): “Schwarz” (“Black”) and “Beichte” (“Confession”). That’s reason enough for BRAVO editors to enquire further during an interview with Bill (16), Tom (16), Gustav (17) and Georg (18) about what they have always been hiding until now...One of your new songs is called “Beichte” (“Confession”). Honestly, Honestly, what is Tokio Hotel’s attitude towards it...?Bill: So far I only know confessions from movies and would like to do it once.
Tom: I also haven’t done it yet but I would make up something really extreme to shock the priest.
You don’t need a confessional or is there just no reason for going?Bill: Oh well, it’s not like we're angels like that. Though, who’s always being good anyway? Everybody screws up every once in a while in their lives, that’s also just all too human. We are what we are and also sin once in a while but we still want to go to heaven.
So are you religious?Bill: No, not at all.
Tom. Me neither.
Gustav: I’m Protestant but I barely ever go to church or pray. Only with my family on Christmas.
What’s the biggest sin you’ve ever committed?Tom: Once I stole my step-father’s car keys and then drove around in his Renault Clio with a few mates. I knocked over a tree trunk even though there were barely any on-coming cars in the village. So there was a huge dent in the car. I’ve never fessed up to it. Until today my step-father still thinks somebody hit him there. Until today...
And what about a guilty conscience?Tom: I’ve always tried to block it out. However, it still catches up with you eventually some day. Maybe confessing isn’t such a bad thing after all.
Georg, what secret did you get away with?Georg: Once I had a really huge argument with a friend – I was approximately eight [years old] at that time. He was running across the courtyard and I picked up a boulder to throw it after him. The stone landed right on the hood of a white Mercedes Benz because I wasn’t strong enough. I ran upstairs to my room very quickly and hid there. I didn’t dare to go back to the courtyard for three weeks. Until now this hasn’t come to light...
What about you, Bill?Bill: One evening I went drinking with my mates but none of us had any money. We turned it into a dare. Who stayed seated the longest, won. We drank loads of bubbly and cocktails and had a massive bill. I was the last one at the table and then the waiter came and wanted his money. I told him that I’d just quickly have to go to the loo. Then I took my stuff and left through the back door. I was scared sh*tless!
And you’re an angel, Gustav?Gustav: Oh well, I've got up to mischief once as well. When my friend and I were bored we collected some dog poop and put it into a pile of newspapers. We put the packet in front of a door, set fire to it, rang the door bell and ran away. Then the guy came outside, saw the burning pile and stepped on it. With that the fire was out but he had lots of sh*t on his shoe. That was very funny!
Have you picked a fight once?Tom: Bill and I are constantly fighting...
Bill: In year four we beat up some guy from year nine once. That was extreme – the guy was missing a tooth afterwards!
Georg: While moshing I accidentally hit a guy in the face with my elbow once so that he was squirming with pain.
Gustav: I don’t punch, I don’t approve of violence.
Bill: Hey, that’s not even true. That’s to say that Gustav and I have already been in a fight.
What happened?Bill: We just wanted to roughhouse and then it suddenly got serious...
Gustav: Bill was fidgeting behind me, suddenly he banged the back of his head on the floor. He only just looked at me with huge eyes and said: That’s it. And when I let go of him he started kicking me really hard.
Bill: Yes, one has to watch out there. I’m always kicking. By the way, I’ve also already been in a fight with Georg once...
Is there alcohol involved sometimes?Gustav: I don’t drink alcohol.
Bill: I do every now and then, why not? Though I’m totally against drugs. I’ve never tried illegal drugs!
When was the first time you were drunk?Bill: For me it was on Herrentag
(nb=gentlemen’s day; aka Männertag=men’s day. On this day most men like to get very, very drunk. It was also the day a group of males destroyed the bus stop near the twins’ former home, probably safe to assume they were all quite drunk: Wiki). It’s being celebrated on Father’s Day in Magdeburg. All the guys meet up and booze from morning till evening. Anyway, I was so wasted I couldn’t walk anymore...
Georg: He slept right in the meadow and everybody was standing around him and laughed at him.
Bill: So what? When you’ve been boozing too much you’re getting all sentimental and come for cuddles.
Have you got men’s magazines hidden underneath your beds?Georg: Why underneath the bed? Those are lying on my desk!
Bill: We don’t need porn.
So have you been watching porn films already?Bill: Sure. I’ve got a few films on my laptop. A classic is “One Night in Paris” with Paris Hilton, one just has to have seen it. Or the one with Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee.
Do your parents know about this?Georg: Certainly.
Tom: Surely they can imagine that every teenager has seen a porn film once.
Have your parents caught you in a risqué situation once before?Tom: The parents of a girlfriend caught us lying on the bed together once. They were more embarrassed about it than we were.
Have you broken many girls’ hearts already?Bill: Never on purpose! However, we know that some of our fans are sad because they can’t be together with us. We’re also very sorry about that but that’s just the way it is. One can’t please everybody. However, and this is meant in all honesty: we don’t want to hurt any girl!
How often do you lie?Bill: I lie often. I’m really good at lying, [and] you can’t tell.
Tom: I’m also super at lying.
When was the last time you lied?Georg: I’ve been lying plenty of times because of my [school] grades.
Bill: I’ve never done that. I’ve always shown all my grades to my mum and then got extremely worked up about the teachers. Then she comforted me and said: You’ll sort it out somehow. However, in school I was constantly lying...
When?Bill: When I forgot to do homework and when I was late. It’s not hard for me to make up an excuse.
Gustav: I’m always on good terms with my teachers.
Bill: I’m not, I’m terrible when it comes to that.
Have you been cheating once before?Bill: Tom and I once had to write a paper on the death penalty. We then downloaded it from the internet. It was by a girl that had gotten an A+ for it. Our teacher only gave us a B for it though – because she found out that it was only stolen from the net. However, we were lucky in that case. Strictly speaking you’d get an F because of cheating for it!
Gustav: Oh well, school. Once I had a female trainee teacher in maths that was really pretty...
Georg: I think, on principle female teachers should be 20 years old, blonde and luscious!
Speaking of blonde. The second new song on your single is called “Black”. What is it about?Bill: The song tells our story. This year we’ve been experiencing an awful lot: Number One for our single and album, the Comet [award], all the articles in Bravo. So many wonderful things are lying behind us but what lies ahead of us? Night lies ahead
([nb uses same wording as in the lyrics for “Schwarz”, its counterpart in “Black” being: “the night turns dark ahead”) – our future is unknown and we don’t know what’s going to happen to us. That’s what we’re singing about.
The song sounds rather gloomy. Is your future black then?Tom: No, just uncertain. We’re incredibly excited about all the things that life still has got in store for us. Hopefully [it’s] nothing negative.
Are you lacking an amount of optimism?Bill: I’m totally pessimistic. I’m getting worked up about everything really quickly.
Georg: A certain [amount of] pessimism is good and important, so one doesn’t approach things with too high expectations and also isn’t that disappointed in the end.
Bill: I’d like to be more optimistic.
Tom: Me too. I think optimists are totally cool. My friends always need to be optimists. They shouldn’t drag my down. I think it’s nice when people around me are cheerful.
What makes you angry?Georg: I don’t have to think long about that: animal cruelty!
Tom: That also makes me totally sad. I feel so sorry for the animals. I’d like to be vegetarian.
Bill: Me too. After all, animals can’t defend themselves. I wonder what somebody gets out of tormenting an animal. Why don’t those people look for equal matches?
Georg: I could really punch those guys.
What would a person need to do so you would hate them?Georg: Kill someone of my family.
Bill: If somebody would mistreat or do something terrible to the people that are close to me and mean something to me – then I’d kill them.
Gustav: I’d torment them, honestly.
