April 01: Leipzig, Germany – Haus Auensee
M&G
- Q&A
They are shooting two new music videos in May, and there’s going to be a new single as well.
Someone asked when and where they came up with ‘Cotton Candy Sky’ and what was the creative process behind it. Bill said that they were together in LA and were kind of drunk. The song is meant to remind ourselves of the feeling you get after. Tom said that it is like when you know you did a lot and it was great, but that now the sun is back.
They could imagine a movie based on their book. Bill would love to. But since there will be two versions of the book, Bill imagine shooting two movies. David Kross would be in his role, and Georg thinks Johnny Depp would be great in Tom’s role.
They think their songs from their earliest albums are too childish now and do not represent who they are today.
If they had to introduce their band to someone only with five songs, they would pick ‘Monsoon’, ‘Don’t Jump’, ‘Automatic’, ‘Love who loves you back’ and ‘Stop, Babe’.
Bill usually writes the lyrics after the melody. For example, there are six different versions of Easy.
Gustav said he only does the wave at the end of a concert if he’s in the right mood.
They’re planning on visiting Marrakesh.
Someone asked them what are their biggest “What ifs”. They had to think a lot about this and Tom finally said: “What if we hadn’t met our stepfather?”
Tom said he doesn’t like people buying pets; he prefers adopting.
Bill’s mermaid tattoo is about love. It’s about pure love without gender or differences.
After shows, they debrief with the crew and say what went well and what didn’t. Team point of view : the band is very professional and a little bit authoritarian; they know what they want to do.
It took almost a year to build the stage.
They talked about reality show. Tom would like to be in the Bachelor, and Bill in Punk’d.
They would love to go to Burning Man, but they still prefer Coachella.

- Q&A
Bill said he’s not afraid of getting old. He likes wrinkles and grey hair, he likes being old and getting older feels good. He also said that he is not afraid of dying and there are days when he thinks he could die and that would be fine, because his life is good and he’s been through a lot of amazing things and he has lived a good life and he is not afraid of getting old and dying. They also said that it is basically what ‘as young as we are’ is about, that it is the meaning of the song. Georg added that everything they’ve been through lead them to this moment and they wouldn’t be here so he has no regrets and he wouldn’t change anything that has happened in his life, because thanks to this they are all where they are now.
Moreover, Bill said that the twin book will be released between winter of this year and spring next year.

He said he kind of had the same problem in his past relationships. The girl said she wouldn’t leave him because she loves him too much.

They talked about how they choose different countries to go to, and that the reason they didn’t go to Denmark was because the venue they wanted wasn’t available at the time they would have liked the concert to be. They also added that the route must make sense, they can’t go back and forth, so Denmark didn’t work this time.
About the stage, their first sketches were nothing like the result. They presented their idea to their team and then their lighting people told them what they thought and presented their own ideas and then they all worked out the final result.
Gustav’s wedding was really nice, with fireworks. Bill liked Gustav’s wedding because he could wear nice clothes there. Bill said that he wants to get married in the Maldives, but in the end his suit will depend on where he gets married; he wants to wear a custom-made creme coloured suit from Dior or Ralph Lauren. All the boys think that Georg should get married soon.
Bill’s earliest childhood memory is getting a tiny vacuum cleaner as a Christmas present.
They guys think Finland’s cold and Bill said he wants to go to Thailand.
