  how is the songwriting for this album different than when udo was in the band? you would write the guitar parts and udo would write the lyrics?
  hoffmann: oh no, it was totally different. udo was never around when we did any of that. udo, he can’t write a guitar chord. he can’t write a sentence of lyrics. we handed him over the finished product and he just sang on it. my wife gaby (hauke) actually wrote all the lyrics back in the day.
  
  true. but i thought she started writing during “balls to the wall.” she actually started before then?
  hoffmann: she was first involved in “restless and wild” to a degree [songwriting credit as "deaffy"on the songs "neon nights" and "princess of the dawn"]. even before her, we had a couple other guys that would go over the lyrics. but udo never really wrote any lyrics. and udo never participated in the songwriting. it was usually peter and myself, and sometimes stefan (kaufmann), the drummer at the time. we would work out the songs until we liked the arrangements for weeks and weeks. and then when it was all said and done, udo would come and take it and perform it.
