#3) Tokio Hotel interview with Bild.de – Twins’ Hearing Problems (Translated Below)

They are currently Germany’s most successful band, their 3rd album “Humanoid” was just released, in February they will go on a big tour.

Bild: have you ever taken a hearing test after all these years of girls screaming?

Tom: “No, but Bill and I have had bad hearing since birth. that is why we talk so loud.”

Bill: “Yeah, and if it has gotten worse, then the reason is that we listen to super loud music and it is not because of the screaming. That is the most awesome thing that exists. We like it, that our fans scream out their emotions.”

Bild: You are playing in the color line arena on february 28. What do the fans have to look forward to?

Bill: “Not just a live concert, but also a very very big show. Together with a Londoner stage designer we have designed a really cool stage. With pyrotechnics, LED-wall and a lot of moving elements. We will be touring with 2 tour buses and more than 10 trucks.”

Bild: Changing the subject. Bill, is it true you have not had a girlfriend since you were 15?

Bill: “Yeah.”

Bild: No time?

Bill: “It is not just that. When I am really in love, I let everything be, I would leave the town or country. But because I don’t go out much, I don’t have the opportunity to meet someone or to intensify contacts, only with other stars or a team member. ”

Bild: What does she have to be like?

Bill: “I can not say anything about looks. with me it is love at first sight. I have to have the feeling right away, that I can trust her. And she should be spontaneous and a positive look at life.”

Bild: how about the love life of the others?

Georg: “I have a steady girlfriend for about a year now.”

Tom: “Except for Georg we are all single. I have never been in love in my life so far. That has nothing to do with looks, there are a lot of pretty women. With me, the entire package has to be right.”
