Tokio Hotel: The music industry is so screwed you can no longer trust anyone
The band talked with pre Cooperative their return to the country on 30 August.
They spoke of their break, their growth and how they have changed the perception of the audience doing " what makes you happy. "
Five years have passed since that occurred recently in Chile. Time that took a break, but also emanated ideas for new credit record, entitled " Kings of Suburbia".
And it is this work that Tokio Hotel will present the 30th of August at the Teatro Caupolicá n, reflecting on stage and the only sound that departs from his previous work for this, his fifth plate of study.
Bill Kaulitz (vocals), Tom Kaulitz (guitar), Georg Listing (bass, keyboards) and Gustav Schä fer (drums) began the Latin American tour of his tour " Feel It All" on Thursday, with a show in Bogota, Colombia. While Peru, Argentina and Brazil will be pre-arrival to Chile destinations.
In the pre-arrival to the country, the band spoke with Cooperativa about what happened during these years that failed to step on the country, its period of silence and the things they have in mind these days.
And it was Bill Kaulitz who started talking about extensive rest were taken, stating that " this break was necessary to take a step back and breathe career, reflect on everything. Besides finding new inspiration for music, because there are many artists who released an album a year and think it is not natural. We just let it happen. "
He also stressed that " we need time in the studio, that life happens to inspire us, because you are if only on tour and do the same every day, there is nothing about what you can write. So we need that space to return slowly to study. It was a necessity for the band and for the record. "
But in temporary lapses did you come to be the idea that a definitive end to the band? Bill said " that's not even a question for us. Because we've been a band for so long, and grew up together. We are not just a band, we're a family, like brothers. I know it sounds a little cliche, but true, we've known forever. I do not think we could ever imagine making music and being on the road without the other. Separarnos was never an option. For nothing. "
up " Exactly what we wanted to do"
" Kings of Suburbia" is a cocktail that mixes rock, pop rock and electronic music, especially the latter which is evident in tracks like " Love who loves you back", " Girl got a gun" and " Stormy Weather".
Bill said that it is a natural evolution, " We have gone to many parties, going out a lot and for the first time were able to mingle with the crowd, indulge in Los Angeles night. And it was all spent much more electronic. In addition to our personal tastes are headed in that direction and we are hearing many electronic things. It just happened and we finally found our sound, exactly what we wanted to do. "

Satisfied with what they have accomplished, Tom Kaulitz agrees with the words of his brother, especially in terms of leverage and time freedom that have succeeded thanks to the musical break they did.
" By creating this record was really the first time we did everything on our own from the beginning. From the first demos, find sounds, songs. It's really our own work. Although development for us not happen fast enough to public, 'Kings of Suburbia' is an album that we produced in four years, so it was a trip for us. While for audiences and fans was a surprise, because they had not heard anything at that time, " mused Tom.
up What makes you happy
The members of Tokio Hotel have grown along with its audience. They are experiencing similar things. Common elements are cast both in his lyrics, as in the acquired taste for new tunes.
How much has changed since I started there in 2001? Georg Listing believes that not much has changed. " When we are together and think about what we were 15 years ago, nothing has changed. We are the children themselves, and do the same shit we did 15 years ago. Although undoubtedly make better music than we did then ".
Bill adds that " we have never tried to create an image, we're just making music and we always try to do it considering what we love. We try to make music that we find, without much thought. Never got to the studio thinking that we have to create a song for a specific audience. That does not work. "
The material " must be genuine. The kind of thing that makes you happy, so that others are happy. We have a target audience, or anything like that. Everyone is welcome at our shows, from toddlers, young people, men, young women, old people, I do not care ".
" The beauty of music is that unites all. No limits, no genre. Many people from different cultures come together and that's great, " said Kaulitz.
