By Mark Pittelkau Published on bild.de May 12th 2008

Los Angeles  Germany’s most successful rock band Tokio Hotel are still on promotion tour through the USA, promoting their english language Album “Scream”. On the weekend, after performing in a TV show in New York they flew to Los Angeles, where they will give a concert tonight. BILD talked to the twins Bill(18) and Tom(18) Kaulitz about their success in America.

BILD: You’ve just arrived to Los Angeles. What is the difference for you between LA and New York?
Bill: For me these are two entirely different worlds. New York is much more European. LA in more like what a European imagines America.

BILD: Tomorrow you’ll play your first complete concert after Bill’s surgery in Hollywood. Are you nervous?
Bill: Yes, of course, shit, we’re going berserk with excitement. Additionally it’s the only US concert. We’re usually nervous, but this time it’s even worse.

BILD: How do you feel now, that you’re also successful in the USA?
Tom: We’re totally happy about the great fan resonance here in the USA, but I still see this whole thing more as a success of esteem (quote from leo: something (as a work of art) that wins critical respect but not popular success)

BILD: You call that success of esteem? You’re not that modest normally.
Tom: don’t worry, when we talk about girls next time again, I’ll be un-modest again for sure. (laughs) No, seriously: I think, that the really big success in the USA will arrive with entirely new and worldwide unpublished songs. Our goal is to publish our third album at the same time worldwide.

Bill: But we are still of course very happy and thankful for what is happening in the USA right now. We didn’t expect that a few moths ago. We just don’t want to overrate the US success so far.
