nz-online, SF review & interview, Aug 19

Review of San Francisco show and audio interview done before the show.

Equal anticipated two things… boah, I am old and my son (if I had one) would not have such hair…. Joking, but they are really high hair.

Sun, and now Tokio Hotel concert in San Francisco on tonight. The boys from Magdeburg played at the legendary Fillmore. At the same place where all already well-known artists of the live music business… played Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty… and now depends also tour the posters of Tokyo hotel on the colorful wall.

And you have to say, Tokyo hotel the store for quite Wackeln. Even hours in advance were mostly young, female fans in the snake and fieberten the performance. Before the curtain fell, said the Rowdies, they should get a little reconnaissance work in rock and you ballerten AC / DC and Aerosmith in the room. But if they can be saved, because the four German rockers know very well what a real Rockharke.

And then there was no stopping more… in front of the stage, the devil was going on. This wild and ohrenbetäubendes Gekreische… it went los… and rocked the Tokyo hotel room. The four Magdeburg had their audience firmly in the hands. Except for the addition of "Through the Monsoon" were all songs sung in English. He was already in the program in English the highlight of the evening and was assisted by a choir accompanied kreischenden girls.

The show was perfect, the mood is great and at the end you could say that these promotional tour for Tokyo hotel is full. And singer Bill already announced from the stage from that, the band soon back in San Francisco will be. And even I, with AC / DC, Uriah Heep and Rainbow I grew up, was at the end of this young band convinced that really a class show in the Fillmore abzogen.

Before the concert I had the opportunity to Tokyo hotel to speak and it was one of the most comfortable and for me most surprising interviews I've ever run. Although the four had every reason, aloof and tired of other issues to be journalists, they were friendly, polite and friendly and very open, honest and on the bottom of the facts. But, listen for yourself….

Short recap of the most important things:

- They will have 2 weeks holidays this year

- Bill & Tom wanted to have the day off at their birthday but they won't because it's not possible with their schedule this year

- They are very pleased that they could show all the critis who said 3 years ago DDM would be their only hit, that they were wrong

- after the US tour they will lock themselves in the studio and work on the new album. There will be no TV shows and no interviews in that time. Bill says he needs the time off to clear his head, because he can't concentrate on working on the new stuff, while he's still perfomring the old songs every night

- The tour in the US is more Rock 'n' Roll lifestyle that in Europe, because of the atmosphere of the small clubs and because everything is busier due the tight schedule. That thight schedule also leaves no room for sex & drugs.
Georg says the time for drugs & sex is long gone. Tom says they never did lots of drugs anyway (o_O lol ), only boozing from time to time... and he has less sex in america than Europe, because there is less time. He still enjoys the tour thoug.
