New interview | TH viene al Telmex for ntrguadalajara.com [ENG]
Tokio Hotel comes to Telmex
(18.6.2015) The members of Tokio Hotel have a weakness for parties and nightclubs. You can tell; the concert they bring to el Auditorio Telmex (venue) on September 2, as part of their "Feel it All world tour' will be " a show with a hangover', Bill Kaulitz said, because they will celebrate their birthday on the first of the month.
Bill acknowledged in an interview with NTR that the celebration will be with their most effusive special guests, their Mexican fans.
"Definitely they are the most fun, we love to tour Latin America for the craziness and energy there is. In reality, they are one of the best audiences in the world" the frontman of the German band who starts their tour through the American continent in July with dates also in the United States, and starting in August they'll visit Colombia, Peru, Argentina , Brazil and they will close it out with three shows in Mexico at the beginning of September; Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey.
Hotel with a club
It has been 7years since Tokio Hotel stepped onto the auditorio Telmex stage when they participated in the MTV Video Music awards. Back then, their first 2 albums Schrei (2005) and Scream (2007) had placed them at the top of the world charts and their success was consolidated with Humanoid (2009) and Kings Of suburbia (2014) it is their first album in 5yrs.
"The album is very inspired by DJs, night clubs, going out and partying. For the Feel It All World Tour we wanted a show that visually reflected the electronic sound of the album, we experimented with special lighting and costumes for shows that can be in small stages for Europe & USA, but also for larger venues like in Latin America", explained Tom Kaulitz
Bill added they wanted a new album different from the rest, they took the electronic culture from their native Germany which enjoys a lot of dancing clubs.
"It is very different from our previous work and to be honest we wanted it that way. We took a long break and didn't do anything for a while just to clear our head and figure out what kind of music we wanted to make. We came to a point where we figured out we all like to dance and party, that was the point."
With Kings Of Suburbia they explore nightlife as a way of life, they talk about the dance floor, the hangovers, enjoying yourself and also the excess. The video for their song "Feel It All" was censured for having explicit content about drug use which is part of the lyrics "feel it all, don't look back, the time is now", it says.
NTR questioned the band whether the way they perceive their nights out similar to how Ricky Martin defines it in Livin' La Vida Loca. Tom argued, "We do not see it like Ricky Martin, but yes we love the nightclubs, maybe too much to be honest." (laughs)
Party in peace (although this particular saying kind of means to carry out something calmly lol)
Tokio Hotel went back to bizarre fashion with futuristic touches. Live, Bill wears a costume of a king, while Tom, Georg Listing (bass) and Gustav Schäfer (drums) appear as characters in a decadent world where the sounds of electronic music prevail, geometric projections and colored lights.
For their show in Mexico, the German band will party in peace, but aim to create a fun time with the songs from his new album and the success of previous albums.
"We have a part in the show where we bring fans on stage to sing, that is always a great moment. The fans also like the calmer moments, in the middle we sing old songs acoustically", explains Bill. "There is a part in Kings Of Suburbia where everything focuses on Tom as a guitarist, he does a solo and it is one of the highlights of the entire show", confirmed Georg.
We will play the new album, bring lots of lights, costumes and basically the idea is to transform the venue into a club and have a big party with our fans, that's what we'll do. "The entire set is very electronic so we are confident they'll feel like they're in our club and they'll come party with us," said Tom.
Grow with their fans
Even though the members of Tokio Hotel do not exceed 30 years old, they still have a young spirit. Bill no longer has long and puffy hair, Tom no longer has dreads, Georg too no longer has long hair and Gustav wears glasses, but they keep the idea of fun and making their fans crazy.
"Think we continue to be the same kids as before, but of course we can't remain that way forever. We started at 15 and now we are 25, we can't avoid it, we get older, we don't necessarily have to like it, but yes. Most of our fans grew up with us & Tokio Hotel has been in their lives a long time, we'll continue to be by their side, we'll grow old together." Said Bill. who besides creating his own unisex clothing line, together with his brother will create a book as part of their artistic restlessness they have tried to contain as they mature.
Tom thanked their fans for their patience and waiting 5 years for an album, especially in Guadalajara, for the 7years they had to wait for their first live show in that city.
"We appreciate so much that they have been so patient and waited for the new album. Especially now that the music industry goes so fast without you noticing. It is a privilege to have a fan base so strong and sweet. The latin fans are super intense and we love the energy they give us on stage, we get so excited and it is a lot of fun. we can't wait to play this show, I think it will be intense and fun.", Bill Kaulitz said.
"We will play the new album, bring lots of lights, costumes and basically the idea is that the place becomes a club for a big party with our fans, that's what we will do."
