„Наши родители пришли к вам с танками, а мы с гитарами.“

„Песня не может изменить мир, но от неё можно получить кайф!“

„Все так бурно отреагировали на то, что мы уходим, что мы постепенно решили не очень-то и уходить.“

„Когда мы только начинали, нам приходилось решать невероятно сложные вопросы типа «купить сигарет или заправить машину, чтобы доехать до места следующего концерта» — на то и другое одновременно не хватало денег. Пришлось бросить курить.“

„Когда я понял, что рок есть везде? Это, когда люди, которые путешествовали по Амазонке, рассказали мне, что дети туземцев стирали бельё в реке и напевали «Wind Of Change».“

“When we started, there were KRAFTWERK and TANGERINE DREAM, and both bands also became very very strong internationally but in a different area, in a different field. They were doing, like, experimental kind of music, and KRAFTWERK were amazing, while we played just traditional rock.”

“We did the ‘unplugged’ project, “Acoustica“, in Portugal. There was always something new and exciting. In-between all these records and projects we’re still touring all over the world: last year, with this latest album, “Unbreakable”, we went back to Japan and played in Scandinavia again; before we come to Tel Aviv, we play in Paris, at “Olympia”; we go back to Russia, we play Kazan, the only show this year with an orchestra; so there’s a lot of things. And that, I think, keeps us going, and the fact that after all these years we have a chance to come and play in Israel is very very exciting and emotional, and it also feels like a new chapter.”

“We’re from Germany but we grew up with English and American music which was such a strong inspiration for the young band. Very early on, in the Seventies, we went to England and France, to Japan and America, we toured and then became an international band. I think our music was never German, it’s always had this Anglo-American influence – we never tried to be a German band! We are Germans, yes, but not in our music. When we grew up, there was schlager music, this pop music kind of thing.”
