Interview with Tokio Hotel - Part 7

Can we talk about Bill's dressing, do you have some special ways of dressing? Bill: Take the last tour for example, it came under the influence of sci-fi films. We have discussed it with Dean and Dan, the designers from Dsquared2. They are twins like us, so we can get along well with each other. We want to create a fantastic world, the stage like in other planet, the clotheses with the led lights which can match up the stage were made by them.

So, will Bill give a performance as another identity like David Bowie used a pseudonym "Ziggy Stardust" at a time. (When David Bowie released his fifth album in 1972, he conjured himself a superstar Ziggy Stardust who came from outer space and recorded from success to failure of the artist. It's a masterpiece of the history of rock and roll.)
Bill: (shyly) I'm just a dabbler that cannot compare with him. And you just look at those pictures, that people in the 1980s. Their looks and clotheses both looked like that they were from outspace.
Tom: Maybe others will think that Bill is monstrous, but when you have seen the old pictures of David Bowie, then you will change your mind.
Bill: As a boy but making up and wearing shoes with high heels, however, all these didn't start by me. They had been here before I was born.

Really. David Bowie raised a tornado in circle of rock, fashion, and art. Didn't Bill make up because of "Ziggy Stardust", did you?
Bill: No. I knew that later. I started to make up since a Halloween party. (Gustav and Georg tittered)
Tom: (nipped in) There were so many bardian bands and singers in 1980s, but there are so many singers have affairs, and there is little bands work at the album seriously and think about how to choose clotheses to suit the stage. They form the band just want to be popular.

And what do you think about Lady GaGa?
Bill: I like her very much. No matter what she did just on her own style, and no matter how crazy she did, it just well-balanced. Lady GaGa knows what she want clearly, and what she want to do and the visual effects presented on the stage are really nice. I admire her.

Do you know Adam Lambert?
Bill: Hum, I know him. Cause he talked about me in many places. (Adam has said that he's a fan of Tokio Hotel.) I haven't seen him, so I can't say anything about him. However, I heard his song on the radio. I knew his face from the picture and someone tell me the things about him. But We have never seen each other.

Bill said that he couldn't judge people before they meet each other, I think Bill is very clever.

Interview with Tokio Hotel - Part 8

As Bill and Tom are twins, so if you four were brother-german, who would be the eldest brother and who would be the youngest? Tom: (The oldest one is) Me. Georg: It's me. Gustav: I am. Georg: Bill is the youngest one. Bill: In fact, Georg is the oldest one, but Tom is the most dependable one.

What about the third one Gustav?
Georg: These two guys (Gustav, Bill) just act like they were the same age. (laughed in concert)
Georg: Because we stay together mostly, we really like brother-german. (all the band members agreed)
