With the last album "Without you I'm Nothing" we did a 14-month tour and we were so busy that we couldn't write anything. When we finished, we were really tired, but we had to get to work because we were already tired of playing the songs on that album, and since we had been like monkeys playing, playing and playing, we already wanted to change the rhythm of work, and this we were only going to achieve it by writing new songs; we were excited about it.

I've been playing for 15 years, and from '89 to '91 I was in a techno band called K Klass. Besides, I've always liked electronic music; I'm from Manchester and there's a good movement of this kind of music there. Apart, I experienced the ecstasy of electronic music, so it's not strange that someone like me likes that genre so much.

About two years ago in New York we were playing a Christmas show with Kid Rock, and when we finished, Fred Durst suddenly stepped on stage and said Placebo sucked, so a big fight started. He's a poor idiot; We never cleared things up afterwards, so we were never friends again, and we weren't friends anyway. Four months later we met at a show in Australia, but since everyone already knew about the fight, the organizers planned everything so that we did not coincide, so nothing happened. But he's a real jerk; He and his band can go to hell.

That's right, we met him when he was on tour with Morrisey, and one day, all of a sudden Morrisey disappeared. Bowie had some demos of us, so he wanted us to open some shows for him and that's when it all started. I think Bowie saw something of him in Brian in terms of lyrics. The thing is that we kept getting along, and when we released the last album, He proposed us to play together. Of course we said yes; When people like him want to do something with you, you know you're doing something right.

Of course I do!, it was when I was 11 and I was in school. A couple of friends wanted to form a band and they talked to me. They had older brothers who were in other bands, so they lent us their guitars, but there were only two. My brother also had his band, but he didn't lend me his guitar and anyway they told me "why don't you try the drums?" I tried it and learned to play on my own. That's when I realized I wanted to be a musician, and here I am

Nothing, because that's what was going on at the time; That was our mentality and that's how we thought we should sound, that's why records should stay as they are, because they reflect an exact moment you are going through.

I really enjoyed the experience, I made a lot of friends and it was a pleasure to work with someone like Todd Haynes (director). Of course, I'd rather be a musician than an actor because it's less tiring. When you act you have to wait for a lot of things to happen, as a musician you just do them and that's it, plus it's very tiring. From there I began to get along with Michael Stipe (R.E.M.) who was the producer, but after "Velvet Goldmine" I retired precisely because I was so tired (laughs), but it's a good movie. What I did hate is that people started to label us as a glam band after that. They don't understand that it's cinema, it's fiction, we were playing a glam band, but suddenly the reporters told us "how does it feel to be a glam band? Got damn! Anyway, the experience was wonderful.

(laughs) I think it would be Nicolas Cage (laughs) because you can always see that he brings out the funny side of everything when he acts; That's why I like him so much, I'm like that. He's also very intense, just like me. That's a good question, I think I'm going to remember it when I go to sleep (laughs).

I like things like "Being John Malkovich". I'm not one of those who enjoy horror movies or very gory stuff; I lean towards tapes like "Drugstore Cowboy", "Buffalo 66", "Rumble Fish", "Angel heart", that kind of thing….

"To one of the Pixies in Manchester and opened Bloody Valentines. That changed my life, because at the time I was listening to AC/DC and stuff like that, mostly because of my brother, and when I saw Pixies they blew me away. They taught me that there was something else beyond what I was listening to." ✪
