.-Your first impression of Ufa?
Brian: - Is it here always raining? It reminds me of England.
- Do you like rain?-
Brian: Only when I'm indoors(laughs)
Stefan: - I'm impressed by the reaction of the fans,
We were nervous, we didn't know how the reaction to our music would be like, but at the concerts we feel the passion and emotions of the audience.
- What advice would you give to aspiring musicians?
Brian: - Ignore anything fashionable, Find something that is unique yours and create yourself in the world of music.
It is important to stand out from the crowd.
Stefan: - My dreams are stressful dreams like I'm running away from someone or loosing someone.
Brian: - I dream about the tour.During the day I'm on tour and at night I'm dreaming about it. It's quite boring.- ------Beyond music,which you do you consider to be the most artistic process in life?
Brian: - Drawing pictures,creating something new,like this microphone,for example.
Because to create something new it's wonderful.
- Have you seen the football match Brazil- Croatia?
Stefan: - Many members of the band watched the game.This year there are new line ups of teams,it is interesting to watch them.
-Would you like to play in film?
Brian: - No,certainly not, I had such an experience and it was enough. I'm obsessed with music and I'm not looking for another career.
-How do you see Placebo when you are 60-70 years old?
Stefan: - I'm already feeling old (laughs). We will be playing till then untill we have subject-matters for music.
Brian:- I wish not to get bald and fat.
Note from the reporter who posted the transcript To our great regret, the press conference on this came to an end. Many questions were not asked, but what is really there, almost all the questions left unanswered.
And two additional questions were:
1 - What bands are you listening to?
Brian called the whole list, but did it as quiet as possible, and the translator of course could not repeat everything, and so just said "well, all the groups he called"
2 - As for the flash mobs, Stefan talked about them, paper airplane, of balloons, glow sticks on and praised all the fans for such loyalty and devotion to the group.
