thanx to "lpschatz" for the traslation!
Lady: I guess that the thing one has sex with girl isn't tragic. The only thing is you have to offer her a condom.
Tom: Right
Lady:...to avoid her getting pregnant.
Moderator: Were were you educated about these things- at school, at home, from life experience?
Bill: It doesn't happen all at once but step by step.
Tom: Anyway, we weren't told that at home.We had those misunderstandings..
Moderator: And why then no? I would talk about that with my children (Tom gets nervous)
Lady: What a nonsense (to say so)
audience applauds, Tom smiles.
Moderator:Okay, everything is clear.There is written - parents should talk with their children (about sex) when the children want it.Neither earlier nor later. Only then the time is right.
Lady:The answers are the right ones when the children want to know about it. And its only then okay. They find it extremely interesting, as if it were a sitcom (situation comedy).They meet one evening and talk about sex. What do they want to know? I don't want to know and I wouldn't ask.
Moderator: So the explanation happened during the classes
Tom: Yes,we had it at school and we got the explanation also from our mates.
Bill: These were lessons at school.
Tom (interrupts)Yes, there were lessons and people came to class
Bill (interrupts: Yes, there were classes (on the subject) but somehow I think I wasn't there then (smiles)
Lady laughs
Moderator: Also there were graphs and thematic groups
Tom: Yes, with roses
Moderator: But guys weren't there. Tom smiles widely. So how is it in reality, do the lessons like these help?
Bill:No doubt about it.
Moderator: The next question isn't specially meant for you,but how do you think- do people (teenagers) use condoms?
Tom: As I have heard from my friends, mates and so, many people don't use condoms. They haven't prepared them.
Moderator: We say all is so politically correct, but in reality- sad thing.
All: Agree
Moderator: Now at time you have a bit different life as normal.How is it with you and school?Have you left the school?
Both:Yes, now already for a year.
Moderator: So why, the timetable didn't match?
Bill: No, not really. We didn't have time for school. There were choices to be made between school and fans, enormous amount of press, journalists and so on. It wasn't normal not only for us, but for the whole school.
Tom:You can't do this when the camera is here. The school website as well as e-mail box was overloaded, the people who wanted to know about us.
Bill: We had a talk with the principal, we learnt in the same school.
Moderator: How is it with other two from band?
Bill: One of them 17, the other 18,so everything is fine with him (meaning school)
Moderator: What is the story of TH? For people who don't know you so well.
Bill: We started to play at 7, the first performance I gave being 9 years old. For five years Gustav and Georg play in the band with us
Tom: So before that they had already given performances
Bill: I can't play keyboard. I'm too stupid for doing that (smiles). (And at that time) I played keyboard, drums and bass.
Lady laughs
Moderator: So you did it when the thing was programmed
Bill nods: Yes, this was very important to find bass and drummer, but in our age wasn't so easy.
Moderator: I'm not sure that all who watch us knows TH. So let's see the video- Comet. Comet is the prize given to newcomers in music. You hadn't much fans. However, it seems that people who were there were your fans.Because of screaming, which appeared.
(after Comet video)
Moderator: The new single "Durch den Monsoon"from the album Schrei,which now is No. 1. Are you involved in serious relationship?
Bill: No
Lady: laughs: Look, here you have a girlfriend.
Moderator: (looking at the audience) Oh, look, you have advertised yourself now!!
Lady: laughs
Moderator: Are you planning to have serious relationship soon?
Tom: No, I think its too difficult to get to know smb and when you know it is serious...It is also difficult now, because we are now so much on the road, and we aren't at home.
Bill: With us it was always hard- we had our music,then school,and then just a bit of time for friends. For girls of course we hadn't so much time (as we should have had) and now we have even less time and girls would have to cope with that.it's hard.
Moderator: Especially now when play not only in small towns only, but already in the whole Germany. Have you already played abroad?
Bill: Yes, in Switzerland.
