"It's gotta rock today." "That's crucial here." "Give it all you've got." "The arena looks good." "Really good." "You've got concerts in places you've only seen on vacation." "I look up from my bed, and can see the Eiffel Tower." "We're driving to the next city in a huge bus and 6 trucks to do a European tour." "That's when I realize how crazy it is that we're doing a European tour." "OSTRAVA" " MUNICH" "So, after you." " Good luck!" "Your heart is racing." "There's deafening noise." "Fans screaming." "That's when the adrenaline peaks." "Welcome to Toklo Hotel, Room 483." "We had 2 days to rehearse with the whole stage crew." "That was in Rize." "That was very nice." "A very nice city." "It was a good venue." "We got to see the stage and rehearse a bit." "The crew had a chance to figure out what needed to be done." "This is my little airplane!" "I'll call it..." "Jumbie!" "And now, go in circles!" "Look at this stunt!" " It should make a landing." "As you can see, this is being dismantled." "We rehearsed here the last couple of days." "Tomorrow's the big day." "We play in Prague." " The first show!" "I've got stairs up there for the very first time." "I'm scared I'm gonna fall and hit my head on that metal thing." " And crack your head open." "No!" "It's stuck up there." "No!" "My plane is gone!" "The little plane." "We've got to think of something." " Of course." "What a production." "I'm gonna get my plane back!" "Man, I'd be dizzy up there." "Thank you!" "We got the plane back!" " I got my plane back!" "All together, "Thank you, Brauni."" " Thank you, Brauni." "Take care, Louis." "Thanks a lot." "Axel, Ralf, Martin, take care." "Georg!" "You too." "See you tomorrow." "PRAGUE" "You coming, Cuddles?" "I wanna take a plane for once, goddamn it!" "We're in Prague." "We're going to the venue to do a sound check." "We've only slept a few hours." "I'm already nervous." ""Ich bin da", 120." " "Ich bin da"." "The sound check sucked." "It's not my fault." " I know, but it still sucked." "It was crap." " Just a bunch of people sitting around..." "They don't need to be there." "Oh God!" "Everything's going wrong tonight." "Throw those notes on the floor." "I've gotta say, I'm always really nervous." "I think I can speak for all of us, except maybe Gustav." "although, I think he tries to cover it up and repress it a bit by playing music." "That's his approach." "Okay, people." "Here in Prague." "Doing the show for the first time." "I feel like I haven't rehearsed at all." "I don't have it down yet." "I feel like I could pass out." "Or I'll get up there and won't be able to make a sound." "So, after you." "Right before you go on, there's not much going on in your head." "It's a bit like being weightless." "What happens up there, just happens." "At first, you don't even realize what's happening, or all the people around you." "It's like a film." "You're totally tense." "Totally nervous." "Your concentrating on the show, but not on anything specific." "It's indescribable." "It's like you're not really there." "Everything's bad luck that day." "As soon as anything's different." "If a candle gets moved." "There's less tea in the fridge." "If Georg did something new." "Georg usually poops before the show, and if he doesn't poop beforehand, it's bad luck." "It was good for the first show." "It's weird." "We messed up more on the old songs." "People!" "People!" "Hello!" "We just got finished kicking off the tour." "Everything went well." "I didn't fall or anything." "I'm so happy." "It was so much fun." "I'm so happy." "Greatjob!" "You're satisfied, right?" " Totally." "I lose 2 to 3 liters of body fluids during a show." "It's like a high-performance sport, because jumping around on stage like that..." "Having all these people behind you, and that they're all there to see us." "Sometimes it's such a powerful feeling on stage, that it completely overwhelms you." "Bye." "Herman, bye." "Bye." "Bye-ski." "See you then-ski." "That was Prague-ski." "Now we're going to Warsaw-ski." "PRAGUE" " WARSAW" "What do you have in that suitcase?" " Hats." "And underwear." "VIVA TV." "It's a 20 minute drive." "Our first media contact, VIVA poland." "10 appointments." "That's not much." "Then sound check." "Then 10 more." "Then the show." "Our management doesn't overwork us or anything." "Not at all." "We also have a whole lot of free time, and we can concentrate on the show." "It's not stressful or anything." "It's all really relaxed." "An interpreter?" "Oh, yeah." "We need an interpreter." "We need an interpreter." " We're verifying that now." "They already know that." "We still have to ask about the interpreter." "Bill!" "Bill!" "You're welcome." "Standing in the rain and waiting in the cold for us to come can be tiring." "I really respect that." "Some of them even rent a mobile home and follow us in the mobile home." "It's great that they're motivated enough to follow us." "But I was the same way, with Nena." "I also wrote letters to a fan mall address and stood in the rain." "How much longer do you have to wait?" " 27 hours." "27 hours?" "!" " Yup." "It's lots of fun, I think." "I think they have a good time too." "Happy belated birthday." "This one's official." "From Universal." "And this is a little bonus one." "Oh, from Universal!" "What is it?" " Super Mario, the game." "What is it?" " Multimedia player?" "A little monitor." "You can..." "You can rip your films or music on there and then..." "Rip?" "Great!" " Sexy!" " Sexy, sexy!" "Thanks." "WILANOW" "Our tour bus is the newest of the new." "Except that Nelly Furtado's kid scribbled on the door." "She had the bus before us." "This boy's already got 25,000 km on him." "When we got the bus it was only at 15,000." "I was a bit afraid of bus life." "Then there's no more milk, Bill." " Great." "Mllk should always be on the bus." "Now I can't have corn flakes." "Just to show you one more time, no sausage is gonna fit through that." "So, you've gotta do number 2 elsewhere." "Everything's a discussion, and it's cramped." "But our bus is so big that it's okay." "We like to be around each other." "We're all friends." "I think it sucks to be alone after a concert." "I want to spend time with the band." "Hang out with the boys." "So, Iet's go upstairs." "This is my bed." "I always make it myself." "Tom sleeps here." "You can smell it when you walk by." "The hobbit sleeps here." "Georg." "I can only sleep when the bus is moving." "If we stop somewhere when I'm sleeping, I always wake up." "Bill sleeps here, right on the other side." "Up here is the front lounge." "And this is the most comfortable spot, in my opinion." "We sit together a lot and end up talking half the night about stuff, and that's a lot of fun." "Recently" "I heard things from Gustav and Georg that I didn't know, even after 7 years." "Look, there's All." "The way he holds them all back when they come running at him, "No!" "No!" "Stay calm!" "No!"" "You have to imagine that they take their free time and decide to use it to make signs and things." "And a lot of the time we don't even see them." "I don't know how many girls make signs that we never see, but they still do it." "It's amazing." "There are greenrooms that make you feel good, and ones that don't." "This one doesn't, and then you're twice as nervous." "It's another 3 meter square greenroom." " Yeah, and there's no window." "My pulse is..." "I don't even know." " Let me see." "120." "There's no ritual where we all stand together, and say some sort of chant or something." "The only ritual we have, is that Tom, Bill and I meet in the greenroom a half hour before the show and are nervous together." "Gustav has distanced himself lately." "He warms up on the drums, and listens to music." "Gustav is very withdrawn." "Gustav isn't like the rest of us." "We're all different, but he's really different." "Gustav..." " Really bitchy." "Super bitchy, sensitive and..." "He's very determined." "If he wants to do something, he does it." "It sounds disgusting, but I want to keep my calluses." "It really hurts when they rip off because the skin is so thin." "This is what I do all day long, every time we have a show." "I tape my fingers." "Today, I say..." "And..." "And..." "Were you sleeping?" "Nope." "What matters is..." "You have to entertain the people, of course." "And you want them to like it." "They're in there for 1 .5 hours." "They paid, and they want a great show." "And even on days when you might not be in the mood to sing, you have to pull off a show, somehow, and entertain the people." "The sound was great." "Great fans." "The show was tremendous." "The city is cool." "I think we're going to have fun and play a proper round of PlayStation." "We've got tons of games, and we're gonna play half the night because we have tomorrow off." "Do you want to go and give autographs?" "Want a marker?" "WARSAW" "VIENNA" "We spent the last couple of days in Ostrava and Bratislava." "We were there on our own, too." " No." "I don't remember that at all!" "With our parents." "We were!" " That's complete bull." "Where?" " At that weird lake?" "I've been to Hungary!" " Where?" "!" "I don't know." " Stop lying." "You know, the next 3 shows are back to back." "But we have tomorrow off." " Tomorrow we're in Dorint Sofitel." "A day off in Munich." " Awesome!" "The best hotel in the world." "It's usually the case, on our days off, that we sleep really late." "Except for Gustav, who's always up at 9." "We've all got really different personalities." "Three of us are late sleepers." "On our days off, they sleep until 18:00, at Ieast." "The rest of us sleep until 3 or 4." "Tom can sleep till 17:00 or 18:00." "We're all free to do our own thing." "That's important." "I hardly see Gustav on our days off because he needs time to himself." "That's why I try to do something else." "To get out a bit, once in a while." "To sit somewhere in a meadow and let the sun shine on my beer belly." "You know what hotel totally sucks?" "." "One more time for the record." "The ---- Hotel in ---- totally sucks." "We're never staying there again." "The owners are total jerks!" "The hotel is crap!" "Any other hotel on Earth is better." " It's cheap for a reason." "The personnel are unfriendly." "Room service is vile." "No one should stay there." "I'm telling you, don't go there." "There are the fans." "There's the entrance." "I played a show here last year, with a 40° fever." "It was horrible." "Oh, shut up." "This is a great arena." "We had our gold award ceremony here." "Oh, no!" "Where's the weight room?" " Maybe it's over here, in the wellness room." "The lovely wellness room." "Fabulous, right?" " Here's a coat rack." "You can lie in the whirlpool for a while." "Sit on the box." "This is a relaxation box." "A massage box." "You lie on top, and it's totally relaxing." "This is Susie, our massage therapist." "Hello." "And... great." "alex Richter makes all our dreams come true." "Oh, no!" "I'm getting a cold sore!" "That's disgusting!" "Cold sore!" "Cold sore!" "Tell them, Georg." "He popped his blister and it squirted all over his face." "All over your face." "Dear fans, don't talk about cold sores around Georg, or one will pop right out of your lip." "I took psychology in school, and we learned some relationship theory." "And it's like this:" "People who have a problem with their bodies, who aren't in tune with themselves, they find faults in others to make themselves... you know?" "Georg is a total slob." " A slob." "Messy." "always late." "A partier." "You can get into a lot trouble with him." "I've already gotta carry them on my back, through life." "Oh, come on." " Because you always haul money bags around." "As if!" "Is that why I have to work in other peoples' gardens?" "Dunja!" "We're checking the sound." "Crap." "I'm getting bruises from the jacket again." "I look like a junkie." "If someone doesn't like something, we talk about it." "As long as the others can laugh, it's okay." "30 minutes and counting." "Just take a deep breath." "Where's my bag?" " Oh, God!" "Look at those 2." "Now, the mic." " Oh, no!" "Come quick, Natalle!" " Doctor dreadful!" "Doctor dreadful!" "I've been lucky today, for the most part." " Keep telling yourself that." "Every gig has ups and downs." "In the beginning we made mistakes, but now we've got it down." "We're satisfied, so far." "When you're on tour, you gain a lot of experience." "And maybe you'll do it differently next time." "We were damn good." "No, really." "It was good." "The arena was packed." "I think it was even sold out." "Yeah, it was a great show." "The crowd was great." "We played well." "Tom is very assertive." "Tom is me." "He's just like me." "That's why we can annoy each other." "A late sleeper." " always arguing." "He's just as headstrong, ambitious, fussy and stressful as I am." "I couldn't loosen up." " But the show was good." "I was bad today." "It was my worst concert ever." "The show was good." "We're satisfied." "I was never this bad." "The show ran smoothly." "Bill had a frog in his throat." "I was really crap today." " Bill is the only one who's unhappy." "He just wants attention, so we come over like, "Oh, Bill..."" "That's complete bull." "I was just really bad." "We're in Zurich, and this arena is phat!" "Holy smokes!" "Holy crap!" "It's humongous." " Totally humongous." "Really phat." "And you know what kind of media presence is here today." "Record awards." "Here's the other one." "For the new album, already." "And the old one's gone platinum." "And who do we have to thank for that?" " Me." "He won't admit it in front of the camera, but he always comes up later and says," ""Thank you, Tom."" " Nonsense!" "That's a lot of bull." ""If it wasn't for you, I'd be working construction."" "What?" "!" "You're welcome." "Gustav?" " Yeah?" "Stay like that." "I don't want to be rude, but..." "Take care." "Have fun." " Hey!" "What?" " You didn't say good bye." "Thanks." "Bye." " Bye." "Lucky shot." "Shit!" "What, already?" "So, after you." "please wait here." "So, after you." "I never know what day it is." "I always have to ask because everybody just says, "It's the weekend!"" "And for me, it's a day like any other." "Thank you!" "Thanks a lot!" "Paris and Nancy were really impressive because we played there 3 months ago in Trabendo, in Paris." "This 350-person club." "Now we're playing in 6,000-person arenas." "I got woken up early because it's so damn hot." "And because these idiots were talking and left the door open." "It's so loud." "You can hear everything." "I laid in bed, tossing and turning." "Thinking about 1 ,000 things." "You're nervous, even before sound check." "Busta Rhymes was here before us." "We've got 10 trucks more than Busta." "Why am I sweating?" "It's so hot in here!" "Give it all you've got, boys." "It's gotta rock today." "They had all these signs in Paris, with things like "Merci" on them." "The whole night." "They want to surprise us, and I think that's really cool." "I'm having more fun than I did on the last tour." "Bill really messed up." " In Paris?" "Oh, yeah!" "They told you about that?" "Those jerks!" "Bill totally screwed up!" "It was really embarrassing." "Actually, our crew screwed things up." "I was totally in the groove." "In my element." "We're all feeling great." "Then Bill sings too early, and we lose it." "It wasn't my fault." "The rhythm was totally off!" "I could never do that." "The in-ear-monitoring system gave out." "I swear." "They're made to fit my ears, but they weren't fitting right." "Oh!" "That's dirty." " I don't want to." "That hurts." " Really?" "I'll be really careful." "They got plugged, somehow." "I couldn't hear, so I had to take them out and let the water drain out." "Then I put them back in, and I could hear again." "And who said, "I'll never mess up" ?" "It's happened a few times on this tour." "Even Bill messes up." "Like our crew says, "That's rock and roll."" "Yeah, boy!" "Take a good look at that!" "So, "Leb die Sekunde" DVD." "Platinum." "Then DVD." "Live DVD." "Platinum." "Then the albums." "Both albums went gold." "Yeah." " Yeah!" "That's what I call a successful day." "Tobias." " Bye, Georg and Tom." "Take care, Tobias." "Sleep well." "Dream of me." "Great." "Now that we've got TV cameras with us..." "It's not usually this luxurious." "Another bathroom that you can't lock." "I hate that." "They never have towels." "There's no toilet paper either." "Tom was on there." "I need paper towels!" "Shit." "Here, take my..." " No, get away." "Why don't they have towels?" "That's unacceptable." "That doesn't work." "It's dirty too." "Here we go!" "We're a German band, and we wanted to do our first European tour with this German album, which got released everywhere." "We decided to do it in German." "We've received letters from France, from parents saying," ""We don't think it's good that our kids are learning German, and not Engllsh."" "It's important that they understand the lyrics." "They play a huge role in our music." "We come out of the hotel, and they speak German with us." "They have a cute accent, but they pull it off." "The show was totally amazing." "The show." "The crowd." "Everything was perfect." "You guys gonna play a bit?" "1 to 0." "If we're satisfied with everything, we wind down by playing table tennis." "You can calm down a bit." "Come down while you're playing." "And just so you know, I always win." "4 to 0." " I think you're just bad." "5 to 0." " You're just lucky." "In the beginning, Bill was a bit better." "But now, I kick his butt." "Everyone knows that I'm the best, and so they're against me." "They're jealous." "I don't get it." "1 1 to 7!" "But with my serve, they don't stand a chance." "Shit!" "Both Nancy and Paris were great shows." "The fans were absolutely amazing." "It was packed, and there was this amazing atmosphere." "Did you just pay with an autograph?" "No." "Sadly, I still have to pay." "I don't believe it, Dirk." "They all wasted." "Wine!" "Beer!" "There a bunch of alcoholics!" "Look, he's running around barefoot!" "At a gas station!" "This is the best man in the whole crew." "It's a great atmosphere." "Everybody gets along." "We've got a good rhythm." "Everybody's got something to do, and they feel good about it." "Itjust grooves." " Barefoot at the gas station!" "They're all crazy out there." "He's barefoot!" "NUREMBURG" "MUNICH" "Good morning." " Good morning." "Hello, Bill." " Bill!" "We're at a point where we get on each other's nerves a lot." "Our patience has worn a bit thin." "People, be quiet!" "I'm on the phone!" " Then go somewhere else." " No." "We do fight sometimes." "Tell somebody that it's loud!" "I don't want to do it." "I never said I would!" "Are you an idiot?" "It's about the band!" "I said yes, for the band." "We don't fight that much in the band." "What?" "Now you think I'm gonna do it alone?" " Yeah, Bill." "Why should I...?" "Are you crazy?" "I don't want any bad vibes." "I just try to understand them and have a good time." "We argue a lot, and that can get pretty serious." "Why is it for me?" "!" "You sick bastard!" "It's not for me." " You agreed to it." "It's ..." " Are you an idiot?" "You want me to do it alone?" " Ask first, before you agree to things." "At times we used to hit each other with frying pans, back home." "But it's fine after half an hour." "We've both got black eyes, and we beat each other up, but then we make up." "That's how it works in the band, too." "If we're arguing, then we should all just open the vents and let it out." "It's important that you don't keep things in until you've got so much hate built up that you don't know how to get rid of it." "You avoid them, but you know it'll be okay." "The next day you're back on stage together." "And the band makes up pretty quickly, too." "I'm gonna eat a yummy breakfast in a minute." "Bill, you're at the end of the hall." "Tom's got the suite, again." "This is my favorite hotel." "My favorite hotel in all of Germany." "I get the biggest room, of course." "Tiny, tiny room!" "Tiny, tiny room!" "It's here." " Super!" " cool!" "Have fun doing the show, boys." " Thanks." " Bye." "It's a really intense time." "Some of our ideas definitely come out of that." "We always have instruments with us." "I've got an acoustic guitar." "100% of "Zimmer 483" was created while we were on the road." "In the bus." "In hotels." "In room 483." "We write all our songs on the road." "Sometimes I get goose bumps." "Like when we play, "Durch den Monsoon", because the audience sings along the most, and the whole arena echoes with it." "The biggest thing that connects us, is making music." "We never fight about that." "It's not like Tom comes up and says he wants to make hip-hop, and Georg wants to play some kind of hardcore music, or something." "It's not like that." "We all agree." "Bill, my little brother." " Late sleeper." "Argues all the time." " Withdrawn." "Egotistical." " Cheerful." "Let me just clarify that." "I'm only egotistical when they want me to carry instruments." "I just don't get it." "I became a singer for a reason." "I only need my mic." "They can carry them." "And they don'tjust need 1 ." "They need 7 or 8 guitars." "And in different colors." "They can do it themselves." "But besides that, I'm a very helpful and nice person." "That's it for you, from now on." "Usually, when I'm nervous, I get really tired." "I'd be very happy if you'd follow me to today's concert." "Everything okay?" "So, after you." "It hasn't become routine yet." "It's always a different arena." "It's the same set list, but you always have to build some kind of connection to the arena." "That's how I feel." "The show was good yesterday." "That means it'll be crap today!" "Yesterday wasn't all that good." "It was great." "If it even comes close to that, I'll be happy." "Then I'll be really happy." "I believe our paths will never part." "We're still walking together, into the night." "It was the first time that Tom and I played a song without Georg and Gustav." "It was really emotional." "It's just about us and our relationship." "It was really nice, I think." "HANOVER" "COLOGNE" "Today is the last concert, in Cologne." "In the Kölnarena." "It's our first time playing here." "The big finale show." "But it'll be good." "I've got a headache." " Look, he's wearing a skirt!" "Boys don't wear skirts, right?" "Look, he's got a skirt on." "It's a girl." "That's what you do so when you don't have pants on, your ---- is covered." "Oh, God!" "Bill, make this nervousness go away." "I think that leaving the country, and especially playing in other countries," "I think that was a challenge for us." "But, it was also the best part." "I know this won't be the last tour." "I can't wait for the next one." "And I want to thank all the fans for being there, and I hope you all had lots of fun, and that we had something to offer you." "Thanks a lot!" "I don't think we've realized that it's over yet." "It all just falling away, all the stuff in your head." "And I have to say, that's really sad." "We got in the tour bus." "It became our home, and then it all went by really fast." "A tour stays in your memory and in your bones for a long time." "Those are things we're going to think about for long to come." "And write a lot about." "It's definitely inspiring." "It was a blast." "I had lots of fun." "See you soon." "My tea is empty, Fabian." "So, my friends, take care." "Translatlon.:" "Annie Grossjohann" "Dear children, don't eat anything healthy at home." "Just keep eating those hamburgers."
