[Amérique/ Janvier 2010] Interview Bill & Tom Stardoll

Stardoll Interview with Bill and Tom Kaulitz of Tokio Hotel



How long has Tokio Hotel been together?
Bill: We have been a band since 2003, but Tom and I have been making music since we were 8 years old.

How would you describe your group’s style?
Tom: I think it is pretty hard to describe your own style, we just make
music. Our personal taste in music is very different though and I think
that’s one of the reasons why our band’s sound is a good mixture of
everything: rock, pop, electronic music – even dance. The only thing
missing is probably hip hop.

What are the bands influences? Do you have a style icon?
Bill: We don’t really have one particular band or style icon that influences
us. I think that the only band we all like when it comes to music and
style is AEROSMITH.


What are your favorite songs to play, and why?
Bill: Since we are rehearsing for the tour every day now, it changes from day to day. At the moment I’m digging DOGS UNLEASHED and ZOOM INTO ME.
Tom: I love DARKSIDE OF THE SUN and HUMANOID at the moment – they both are going to be total killer songs when we will play them LIVE.

What is something you should bring on tour that most people may not think of?
Tom: We are going to have some amazing new production items and instruments with us this trip, which nobody will expect us to have.

Is it true the band is vegetarian?
Bill: Yes, Tom and I have been vegetarians for over a year now.

Give us some details on one of your most memorable moments as a band?
Tom: That’s hard to pick since there are so many! If I had to choose three
of them I would say the moment when MONSOON shot up to No.1 in Germany, winning the first EMA and the first VMA award in our career. That was really special, since we didn’t expect it whatsoever.
Bill: We are actually thankful for every moment we have as a band.

What is it like to be famous?
Tom: It is great most times since we get to do what we always have dreamed of.



When are you yourself?
Bill: When I am with my friends and my family.

Do you have a best friend?
Bill: Yes

What is good about him/her?
Bill: He/she accepts me the way I am.

What would you like to say to the Stardoll members?
Tom: We wish you all a wicked year 2010 and we’ll hopefully see you guys at one of our shows this year!

What are you proud of?
Bill: Everything we have achieved so far, we never expected any of this!
