For the english speaking people (sorry for any mistakes): 0:49 The year is nearly over, the last concert is about to happen. What was your personal hightlight 2016 and what can we expect 2017? "I find it unfair to pick only one concert and I always say that. Of course the big concerts stay in mind. Things like playing at the Mera Luna for example. But now I'm also not in the right mood for that. We are on tour right now and this claims me so much, that I can't really think about the last concerts. It already feels like 10 years. Next year a lot of different things are going to happen, but now we focus at the tour. And actually I'm not allowed to tell you the most." 1:40 Just a few hours ago it was announced that Bo need to leave the band for personal reasons. What does that mean for you and how will it go on? "When you will watch this episode you'll already know how it will go on. And for us...we needto take it as it comes. It was his decision and we are sad about it but you have to respect it, it's the best for him. Of course it is hard, after 7 years but it's pointless reacting completly emotional and get panicky. We are all grown up and need to deal with that situation as good as possible. We will not abate, we will grow with it and it will go on." 2:38 How do you deal with the pressure to achieve always something new creativ? "I don't sense it as pressure" How do you recharge your batteries for work? "Sleep, food...it's my job. Like other people have their jobs. Of course there are days were I don't feel like being in the studio, it's not alway like party and beer. But it's my normal job like every other job." 3:55 Do you write music primarily for yourself or do you already have something in your mind while writing music what the fans could like the most? "It depens for what I'm doing it. If I have to write something for like a talent show I know exactly what I have to do and which audience I have to hit. Then I'm working completly target-group-specific. Sometimes I write music just for myself because the song needs to go out of my head. Sometimes I write songs because I need it for something special, like Credo; something that connects the audience at the end of a concert. You see, it's very different. But I'm not basically thinking about how I can make the most money with a song. First of all we need to like our own music and we are our biggest supporters. This always sounds very arrogant but I don't think it is. I think every musican should like their own music and if they don't, they are doing something wrong." 5:27 With empyrean you created something like a perfect world for yourselfs. What does it mean that you can find old songs hidden in the new ones or that new songs are based on old ones? "On the one hand we just find it funny and on the other hand sometimes one song leads to another one." 6:15 How many percent of the real Chris do we see in public? "73%..I have no idea. It is alway me but obviously your playing some kind of role but I don't have a script, it is just another part of me. I'm always 100% myself but of course I act different with people that I'm very close to, for instance my family or my closesed friends. But the difficulty is, that our supporters have a completly different connection to us than we can have to them. They listen to our music everyday, have our pictures in their rooms and know all the lyrics. And when they meet us after a concert they feel very close to us. But we always have a completly strange person in front of us." 8:10 I got a lot of question to you as a person. How do you feel like that so much is sexualized? " I'm very easy with that. Everybody should "consume" me the way they want. If they come to our concerts just because they like the way we look, that's totally fine." 8:45 If you would have to reinvent Lord of the lost again, would you do something different from the beginning on? "Sure, but I don't know what. That's very hard, I can't answer it. I think I did everything right, even if I did make mistakes. " 9:19 How does it feel to present your personal experiences in terms of music in public. "I always try to reach other people with it. Nobody wants to know simple storys of my life. But it feels good, because somehow we are all equal and at some point in life we all have to deal with the same things." 10:33 What was your most embarrassing moment on stage? "I don't wanna tell because it was so embarrassing." 10:47 What three thing do your band members need to have to be part of Lord of the lost? "Their instrument, intelligence and personal hygiene." 10:58 Do you sometimes reject production requests because you don't like the artist or the content? "Yes." Often? "No." 11:09 What do we must not know about you but however you will tell us. "I will not. I don't understand why those questions are still asked. Actually you don't do that, it's rude" 11:48 What need to happen that you would surrender the band. "I don't know, maybe that I would die. Very dramatic things. I don't hope something like this will ever happen but you will never know. 12.19 Do you believe in fate? "No" 12:23 What causes you to be frightened or sad? " I'm afraid of what happened to the world during the last years. I get sad when my son is unhapppy, and you can't help that little child." 13:05 As you can't cook, what and where do you eat the most? "Asian food, mostly at Thai Town in St. Pauli. But I can cook, I'm just not a passionate chef but I still have the ability to make food."
Anni war so süß :D Die Erklärung bei 03:20 und folgend ist sehr interessant! 05:47 Herrlich! xDD Ansonsten kommentier ich mal die Fragen mal nicht weiter. Anni du hast echt sehr gute Arbeit gemacht und es klingt sehr sehr interessant!! :) Am Ende sorgt das Spießumdrehen nochmal zu sehr schönen Lachern! :D
I read the interview in english (it was a great interview) i feel the need to apologize for the Russians' fan questions. Even that i am not from there. Now i understand why you needed to take a shower and change cloths before you went out to the autograph session. Spasiva. תודה. Arigato and whatever.

I now understood that the interview was before the show. I adore Chriss' big smile.
Ich finde, dass man es total merkt, dass ihr eure Musik geil findet und das sollt ihr auch und ihr könnt echt stolz auf euch und eure Musik sein 🎶💜.
I read the interview in english (it was a great interview) i feel the need to apologize for the Russians' fan questions. Even that i am not from there. Now i understand why you needed to take a shower and change cloths before you went out to the autograph session. Spasiva. תודה. Arigato and whatever.
