I loved this interview! They talk mostly about sins, and religion.

Thank you to Schnee for allowing me to post this interview! All credit to the website , I barrow it from!

This translation was made by me, and I took the original version from the Portuguese fan club blog. It's from a Bravo magazine!

Enjoy

Bravo: One of your songs is ?Beichte? which means ?Confession?. Honestly, when was the last time you made a confession?

Bill:Now a days, I know that only happens in movies. But I would love to confess myself in a church.

Tom: I never went to a confession. And if I ever go to one, I'll definitely say something insane to shock the priest.

Bravo: Are you guys clean (of sins) or are you too urban to go to a church and make a confession?

Bill: We're not angels. But do you know anyone that always does good things? Everybody makes mistakes. After all, we're only humans that sin and wish to go to heaven.

Bravo: Do you believe in God?

Bill: Not really.

Tom: Me neither.

Gustav: I confess I believe, but I rarely go to church. Only on Christmas with my family.

Bravo: What was the biggest sin you ever committed?

Tom: Some time ago I stole my step-father's car keys. I was driving with my friends in a Renault Clio. This happened in our village; there aren't many cars around, but unfortunately I lost control, crashed into a tree and deformed the car. I never told my step-father anything. And he still thinks someone bumped into his car. Well, at least until today?

Bravo:Didn't you feel guilty?

Tom: I tried not to think about it, but I just couldn't stop the thought. I wish I had told someone. So yeah, a confession might be a good idea?

Bravo: Georg, have you ever done anything bad?

Georg: Yeah, once when I was about 8 years old, I was having an argument with a friend. He started to run, so I threw a stick at him. But since I wasn't strong enough, I missed and it hit a Mercedes. I ran back to the house and hid in my bedroom. After that I was too scared to leave the house for 3 days. But no one ever mentioned it.

Bravo: How about you, Bill?

Bill: Some time ago, me and a friend when to a restaurant, but we didn't have any money. Finally, a waiter came to me and I said I had to go to the bathroom. I took my stuff and left. I was so scared.

[Mod edit -- I just edited that last bit to avoid confusion... somehow the translation got messed up along the way...

Bravo: And you, Gustav?

Gustav: Humm?Well, I did some bad things in the past. Once I was with a friend, and we were really bored. We found a puppy that worked on batteries, so put we it on top of a stack of magazines. Then we dropped it on someone's front porch and set the dog on fire. Then we ran away and watched. A man opened the door, saw that stuff on fire and started to jump on it. The fire obviously went out, but the man's shoe was ruined. It was really fun!

Bravo: Have you ever fought with someone?

Tom: We fight with Bill all the time?

Bill: When I was in the forth grade I had a fight with a guy from the third grade. It was not pretty to see! He lost a tooth!

Georg: Not too long ago, during a ?pogo? dance I accidentally hit a boy's face. He started to cry?

Gustav: I don't fight; I don't care for violence at all.

Bill: Hey! That's not true! I fought with Gustav not long ago.

Bravo: How come?

Bill: We were just fooling around, but eventually it got serious?

Gustav: Bill started to ?punch? me, but in the end he was the one who hit his head on the floor. He looked at me with huge eyes and said: ?ENOUGH!? When I let him go, he got all jumpy.

Bill: Yeah, you should be careful with me ?cause I get jumpy with everyone. I fought with Georg too?

Bravo: Do you drink alcohol?

Gustav: I don't really like it.

Bill: When it [alcohol] comes to me, I must say I take it. But I'm absolutely against drugs. I have never used an illegal stimulant.

Bravo: When was the first time you drank alcohol?

Bill: On Boy's Day. We celebrate that in Magdenburg on Father's Day. The guys get together and drink all day long. I was SO drunk, I couldn't even walk?

Georg: Yeah, he was crashing into everything and everyone was laughing at him.

Bill: So what?! You were the one who got all romantic and tried to kiss me!

Bravo: Do you hide adult magazines under your beds?

Georg: What for? I keep them on top of my desk.

Bill: Yeah, we don't need that.

Bravo: Have you ever seen adult movies?

Bill: Of course! On my computer, I have my favourite movie ? that one with Paris Hilton. And the movie with Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee is also very good.

Bravo: And your parents? Do they know about that?

Tom: I think parents know that all teens, at least once, watch adult movies.

Bravo: Have your parents ever caught you in a ?spicy? situation?

Tom: The parents of an ex-girlfriend of mine saw us kissing. But they already knew we were dating so?

Bravo: How many hearts have you broken?

Bill: We never do it on purpose! But we know some of our fans are sad ?cause they can't be with us. We apologize, but that's how it is. We can't make everyone happy. But we really don't want to hurt any girls. I meant it!

Bravo: Do you lie?

Bill: I do it all the time. I lie really well, and not everyone can do it.

Tom: I lie a lot too.

Bravo: When was the last time you lied?

Georg: I lied to my parents about school tests.

Bill: I never did that. I always showed my tests to my mom, and I was constantly complaining about the teachers. She applauded me when I said I was going to get better. But I lied all the time in school.

Bravo: When?

Bill: Oh, like for example, if I forgot to do my homework, or was late for class. I never had any problems with excuses.

Gustav: I always had good relationships with my teachers.

Bravo: Have you ever cheated anything in school?

Bill: Yeah! Once, Tom and I had an assignment to do about the death penalty. We copied everything off the net. I think the assignment belonged to a girl that had great grades in school. We had an excellent grade ?cause the teacher liked the project. We were so lucky!

Gustav: Ach?school?How about having a pretty candidate to teach Math?

Georg: I think that in general all teachers should be 20 year old women with curves and blond hair!

Bravo: Speaking of blondes ? your second song is ?Schwartz? (Black). What does it mean?

Bill: It talks about our crying. During the last year we had so many experiences: the success of our album, all the articles in Bravo. A great deal of events - but what's really waiting for us? It's just a dark night, we don't know our future. And that's what we talk about.

Bravo: That sounds frightening, but we hope that's not how you see your future, all black.

Tom: No, it's just because our future isn't certain. We're looking forward to see what's going to happen. I hope it won't be too bad.

Bravo: You all lack some optimism?

Bill: Yes, I'm very pessimist. I worry about everything.

Tom: Pessimism is not that bad. When a guy doesn't have great expectations about something, and if that thing doesn't happen anymore, at least he doesn't get disappointed.

Bill: Anyway?.I'll try to be more optimistic?

Tom: Me too. Optimism makes life easier. All my friends have to optimistic. They can't bring me down. That's why I like cheerful people.

Bravo: What upsets you the most?

Georg: Obviously, animal mistreatment.

Tom: That makes me so sad. I feel really sorry for animals. I would like to be vegetarian one day.

Bill: Me too. Animals can't defend themselves. I usually ask myself: ?Why do people mistreat animals? Why can't they put themselves in the animal's place??

Georg: I get really angry with those people.

Bravo: Is there anything that would make you hate someone?

Georg: If someone killed one of my family members.

Bill: If someone mistreated anyone I love. That would only make me wanna kill them.
