Tokio Hotel interview with Oliver Tanson- Esch, Luxembourg 22.02.2010



Oversættelse/Translation

Bill: Vi er ekstremt nervørse. Altså, vi er altid ekstremt nervøse og det det går ikke væk. Jeg tror bare at det er en del af det. Selvfølgelig, man er altid nervøs når man går på scenen og så snart man står i det begynder man at slappe af relativt hurtigt på scenen og bare har det sjovt. Men man bliver nødt til at sige at vi er ekstremt nervøse når det gælder det.

Bill: Denne gang er den store forskel at vi har fået vores vores helt egen scene med os. Altså ja, det er dybets set hvad udgør forskellen. Hvis man bruger den lokale scene, altså, den i koncerthallen, så, selvfølgelig, spare man [penge] når man ikke behøver at køre det her og der. Og denne gang har vi dog fået vores egn scene med os. Derfor er det hele lidt mere omfattende.

Bill: Dengang hvor jeg stadig var pænt ung, syv, otte eller noget, var jeg med til Nena koncerter og så videre i regnen, mens jeg ventede og sådan noget.

Tom: Genem den sidste fase af vores album produktion - som næsten tog os et år - tog Georg og jeg 2 uger fri og kom fordi Jessica Albas hus med et telt og slo os ned. Nah, hun gav ingen koncert. Hun åbnede heller ikke døren, øhm, så derfor var det ikke så stor en succes, men det er bare de små ting der sker for én.

Bill: Især Tom og jeg kender det heller ikke anderledes, vel? Vi voksede op sådan her. Vi har fremkaldt had hos ældre mennesker ligesom dengang vi var meget unge. Derfor... Det er altid en af de ting som vi nyder mere end hvis det var dårligt for os og man skal også sige at vi ikke ville være dem vi er nu hvis vi ikke havde den der hader os. Så derfor.... Altså vi er ret taknemmelige for det.
Bill: Nomalt hader folk os eller også kan de virkelig godt lide det og så videre og der er faktisk sjældent noget midt i mellem og derfor... Altså, Tom og jeg voksende os sådan. Også da vi ikke lavede noget musik. Alt vi skulle gøre var at komme på skolebussen og så var det de samme ting der skete der. Så derfor, øhm... det er faktisk en ting vi totalt er vænnet til.

Bill: Godt spørgsmål! Hvordan can man stadig tjene penge på at være musikker nu til dags?! Det er...
Tom: Vi har faktisk haft en lignene problem fordi, øhm, selvfølgelig bruger vi så mange penge for produktionen af vores tour som det er så selvfølgelig tjener vi ikke rigtig pengemed sådan en tour mere og CD'erne bliver også mindre og mindre hele tiden.
Bill: Og desuden bliver Georg nødt til at prostituere ham selv på fridage. *griner* Så han, ligesom, går på gaden.
Georg: Bill er min bedste kunde forresten.
Bill: Nemlig. *griner*
Bill: Jeg syntes virkelig at det er noget l*rt, især for, altså, nybegyndere. Altså at få en pladekontrakt der er god og, og stadig få dit store gennembrud som en artist disse dage. Jeg tror at det bliver sværdere og sværder fordi at folk ikke invistere i noget mere, selvfølgelig. Men når jeg selv kigger på vores eget l*rte pladeselskab, så...
Tom griner: Ja, helt rigtigt.
Bill:.. [vi] kan... vi kender til det.

Bill:Selvfølgelig kan vi snakke om de sidste fem år, især når man tager et kig på pladebranchen, så, øhm, er det helt klart mange, mange gamle mænd der sidder foran deres skrivebord og græder over pladeselskaberne. Altså, det er korrekt at gå ned af bakke. Det har virkelig været nemt at følge [sagen] over de sidste fem år.
Tom: Hvornår var der sidst en fra tyskland som modtog Platinium, 10 år siden? Det var sikkert med, hvad, to millioner [solgte] plader eller noget?
Bill: Sikkert, ja.
Tom: Jeg tror nu at Platinium ligger ved de 200,000, ikke? Eller noget i den stil.

Tom: Vi har også lavet fejlen.. Hvad siger man, "lavede fejlen"? Det vil jeg sikkert altid gøre det på samme måde igen og igen. På en måde har vi aldrig gjort sådanne ting som, øhm, nogle reklamere kontrakter eller noget, sådan, hvor vi altd sagde: "Nå kom så. Bare lad og gøre det så vi kan tjene nogle penge på én eller anden måde." eller "Lad os lave en Tokio Hotel slikkepind." Eller noget i den stil. Vi tager altid hånd om det på en måde... Ja, vi kunne, totalt godkende det. Og vi har faktisk fokuseret mere på vores tournér, på vores albummer og på samme tid forlod vi alting, alting det kunne blive tilbage.

Bill: Hvad ønsker vi os...? Vi vil helt sikkert til Asien næste gang. Vi ønsker os...
Tom: [At] folk køber vores plader igen og at musik industrien blomstre igen. *griner*
Bill: Nemlig. Vi ønsker os færre ulovlige downloads for alle.

Bill: Hey, vi er Tokio Hotel og vi har lige haft et interview med Oliver og det var...
Georg & Tom: Okay... okay... tåleligt.
Bill: Det var super, godt, fantastisk.

English:
Bill: We’re extremely nervous. Meaning, we’re always extremely nervous and that also doesn’t go away. I think it’s just part of it. Of course, one is always nervous when walking on stage and as soon as one stands on it and begins then one relaxes relatively quickly on stage and actually just has fun. However, one has to say that we’re extremely nervous prior to that.

Bill: This time the big difference is that we’ve got our very own stage with us. Well yes, that’s basically what makes the difference. If one uses the local stage, like, the one at the venue, then, of course, it saves [money] when one doesn’t have to drive it here and there. And this time we’ve got our very own stage with us though. Therefore it’s all just a bit more elaborate.

Bill: Back in the day when I really still was quite young, like with seven, eight years, I was also standing at Nena concerts and so on, in the rain while I was waiting and so on. Meaning, definitely.

Tom: During the last phase of our album production – which took almost a year – I and Georg, we took, we just took 2 weeks off and, and passed by Jessica Alba’s house with a tent and settled down. Nah, she didn’t give a concert. She also didn’t open the door, erm, so therefore it wasn’t much of a success but those are just the little things one happens to do.

Bill: Especially Tom and I also don’t know it any differently, yes? We grew up like that. We’ve evoked tremendous hatred in elderly people as well when we were still very young. Therefore… It’s also one of those things that we enjoyed more than it was bad for us and one also has to say that we wouldn’t be where we are now if we hadn’t had them, the hater. So, therefore… Actually we’re quite grateful for it.

Bill: Usually people hate us or they just really like it and so on and there’s actually rarely anything in-between and therefore… Well, Tom and I grew up like that. Meaning, also when we weren’t making any music. All we had to do was get on the school bus and the same thing was happening on there. So therefore, erm… it’s actually a thing that we totally got used to.

Bill: Good question! How can one still earn money being a musician nowadays?! That is… difficult, one has to say.
Tom: We’ve actually got a similar problem because, erm, of course we’re spending so much money for the production on tour as it is so of course we’re not earning any real money with such a tour anymore and CDs are also getting less and less all the time.
Bill: So, additionally Georg has to prostitute himself on off days. *laughs* So he’s, like, walking the street as well.
Georg: Bill is my best customer, by the way.
Bill: Exactly. *laughs*

Bill: I think it’s really just sh*t, especially for, like, newcomer guys. Meaning, to get a record deal that’s good and, and to still get your big breakthrough as an artist these days. I think that it’s getting harder and harder because people don’t invest anything anymore, of course. Well, when I’m looking at our own sh*t record label, then…
Tom laughs: Yes, exactly.
Bill: … [we] can… we know about that.

Bill: Of course we can talk about the last five years especially, so when one has a look at the record industry, then, erm, there are definitely many, many old men sitting in front of their desk crying at the record labels. Meaning, it’s proper going downhill. It’s really been easy to follow [the matter] over the past five years.
Tom: When did one receive Platinum [records] in Germany 10 years ago? That was probably with, like, two million [sold] records or something?
Bill: Probably, yes.
Tom: I think, now Platinum lies at 200,000, right? Or something like that.

Tom: We also made the mistake… What’s to say “made the mistake”? I’d probably always do it the same way over and over again. Somehow we’ve never done some things like, erm, some advertising contracts or something, like, where we were saying “Well, come on. Let’s just do it so that, so that we can make some cash somehow.” or “Let’s just release a Tokio Hotel Lollipop.” Or something like that. We really always took care of it somehow [being]… Yes, that we could, like, totally approve of it. And actually we’ve really focused more on our tours, on our albums and at the same time we actually left everything, everything behind that could be left behind.

Bill: What we wish for…? We definitely wish to go to Asia next. We wish for…
Tom: [That] people buy records again and that the music industry flourishes again. *laughs*
Bill: Exactly. We wish for less illegal downloads for everybody.
Bill: Hey, we’re Tokio Hotel and just had an interview with Oliver and it was…
Georg & Tom: Okay… okay… bearable.
Bill: It was super, great, fantastic.
