May 27th 1998 - live at Shepherds Bush Empire (London). |
๐๐๐: Well, we’re going to see your live performances on Canal+ at Nulle Part Ailleurs, so we start from October 1996 with "Teenage Angst".
๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง: I think I don't want to watch this…
๐๐๐: Let's go!

๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง: Enough, enough!
๐๐๐: Ok guys, so what do you feel watching at yourselves ten years after?
๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง: Awful! Yeah, yeah, it’s like looking at really bad photographs with you as a baby, you know, it’s just been embarrassing…
๐๐ญ๐๐๐๐ง: We never like to look back really. It was the same thing with the singles collection that even that was painful to look back, to listen to your old stuff. This is even more painful because this is visual as well.

๐๐๐: Let's go to the next album!
๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง: The number two?
๐๐๐: Yeah! This song is Pure Morning. Let's go back to 1998.

๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง: Ahh!!! Oh no! Am I wearing a fucking dress?
๐๐๐: Yes!
๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง: Shiiit! Oh no! I just remember this, there’s gonna be more dress moments coming up. Shit! Ok, enough.
๐๐๐: I have a question about it... Your look has radically changed…
๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง: Yeah, thanks God!
๐๐๐: …but what for did you wear a dress? Was it for something like a provocation or...? Why has your look changed?
๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง: I think I just thought I looked good in it but looking back on this I think I was sorely mistaken; you know… I don’t know, I guess I was really really young and you just sort of you’re giggling to yourself, it’s like ‘I’m going on TV wearing a dress – yeas, excellent!’ you know, kind of think ‘I can get away with this’ kind of thing… I don’t know, it’s really too shock, personally looking back I find it very shocking that I wore that. But I think it was just the idea of being able to get away with being on TV and wearing a really short dress. People were thinking it was cool but I don’t know, it’s getting more and more painful.

๐๐๐: Well... I'm really sorry, Brian, but we’re going to see You Don't Care About Us and once again, you’re wearing a dress!
๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง: Yeah, I’m wearing a dress again! (laughing)
(Watching the video) That’s better, it’s getting better.
๐๐๐: Your haircut has changed too!
๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง: Yeah, that’s better!
๐๐ญ๐๐๐๐ง: It’s probably the last time in your entire life! (about a dress)
(After the video)
๐๐๐: I don’t think it looks too bad actually, you know. Looks like some kind of gothic secretary, you know.
๐๐ญ๐๐๐๐ง: …from Berlin.
๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง: Yeah, from Berlin! (laughing) Yeah, it’s definitely kind of a look that’s more inspired by the film ‘Cabaret” I suppose, that kind of smoky Weimar, Germany, kind of Liza Minnelli kind of thing.

๐๐ญ๐๐๐๐ง: Scared of Girls, actually that should have been a single, but hey.
๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง: It’s too late. Go back with a single and I go back and change all my dresses, you know…

๐๐๐: So, we just saw 10 years of your life. How could you summarize your career?
๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง: Extremely embarrassing! I never wanna do that again! If in ten years you ask us to do this again – no! (laughing)
๐๐๐: If you could change something in these 10 years of career, what would it be?
๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง: I wouldn’t wear fucking dress, that’s for sure!
By the way, next ten years later Brian would talk about these 'dress moments' in a definitely calmer, easier, kind of reflective way... which is good, don't you think?
