The most complicated part comes from Brian who was obviously provoked by the interviewer. Stefan rather tried to soften the situation a bit with his equally intelligent answers.
The interview was done for the Russian magazine ๐‘ด๐’‚๐’™๐’Š๐’Ž in 2016. As far as I know, there’s no English version of it, but I think it’s totally worth reading for all Placebo fans, not only Russian-speaking ones.

Not all interviews go as planned! Right before the Moscow and St. Petersburg concerts of the 20 Years of Placebo world tour, MAXIM was supposed to have a nice conversation with Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal, but it ended up in a scandal and almost a stabbing.

๐Ÿ“ข๐‘ฉ๐’“๐’Š๐’‚๐’: I try not to think about music from a mercantile point of view, but as for today's technology it must be treated in a Darwinian way. Either you adapt or you die. I think it's much harder for young bands to make money today. Making music is expensive, not to mention music videos and tours. The music business doesn’t fall out of the traditional capitalist system where the law of supply and demand operates and the consumer is the head of everything with their choice. Placebo are quite lucky because we have a lot of music recorded long ago which we can distribute on the Internet actually for free and make living of concerts. But if the consumer doesn’t want to pay for the recordings of a new band the musicians have to search for another job. It's sad but it happens all the time. And yet, since we agree with the fact that all responsibility lies with the consumers, they shouldn’t complain that tickets are getting more expensive: the listeners themselves are responsible for such an economy. Personally, I keep buying records on principle, I consider it necessary to support the artists and new music. After all, many people have supported us for all these years. For me, that’s a matter of karma.

๐Ÿ“ข๐‘บ๐’•๐’†๐’‡๐’‚๐’: The film is about two things: modern Russian alternative culture and the impressions of a rock band of their first tour in Siberia. When we’ve got a Siberian tour booked we decided that here it is, a wonderful opportunity to document our adventures in unknown lands. We have never denied ourselves the pleasure of playing in the distant and weird places. We played everywhere: from the Angkor Wat temple to the snow-covered Alps! We also wanted to find out what other artists, street musicians, directors, sculptors, photographers and independent filmmakers think of their art in today's Russia. Our British media present Russia exclusively in a political aspect but we are also interested in other aspects of life. You have your whole world there! No politics, we just want to see and hear everything firsthand. The film is about such people and about Placebo. However, there are also very personal moments in the shooting, especially since I personally do a lot of interviews. We were lucky to have a sold-out premiere at the Beat Film festival in Moscow (May 30. - Ed.). And now the film is presented at the festivals around the world.

๐Ÿ“ข๐‘ฉ๐’“๐’Š๐’‚๐’: I grew up listening to The Cure, and I couldn’t even think that one day I would be sharing the stage with them. They, along with The Smiths, were a soundtrack to every rainy afternoon in my youth. The process if writing lyrics and music is incredibly fascinating when you have something to base it on. I borrowed book titles for my songs twice: Lady of the Flowers and Million Little Pieces. But I try not to do that anymore. Playing on words is an important part of this job, and you have to read a lot. A writer needs to read a lot, a musician needs to listen to a lot of music, and I have to do both.

๐Ÿ“ข๐‘บ๐’•๐’†๐’‡๐’‚๐’: Time is a funny thing. It all mostly feels like a dream now. When you are nineteen and you have no responsibilities, you consider yourself a superman and you’re going to live forever. We loved to play music and nothing else mattered. We had some goals, we dreamed of performing at the big venues. And we moved on trying to stay true to our music. Our goals and ambitions grew with us.
๐Ÿ“ข๐‘ฉ๐’“๐’Š๐’‚๐’: And I was just ready for anything to not get an office job. I knew I could sing and play guitar. I had no job for two and a half years, and when being twenty-two I’ve got a contract to record an album in my pocket there were no other options. It was a fate. Yes, we were completely different back then ...

And you're twenty-two ... You just explode! You turn into a kind of blazing rock ’n’ roll machine! Today, I am much less confident in myself than back in the days, I’ve got some intelligence and experience. There's no rock ’n’ roll in killing yourself.

๐Ÿ“ข๐‘บ๐’•๐’†๐’‡๐’‚๐’: I'll say about myself. In music, I’m first of all fascinated by the skills but also the style, integrity and longevity. One of my favourite bands is Depeche Mode. They’re still together, and I wouldn’t like them to die in any rock ’n’ roll way!
๐Ÿ“ข๐‘ฉ๐’“๐’Š๐’‚๐’: If you wish the rock stars all of this, if you want experience death, destruction and suffering through them, indirectly, then there is no empathy in you at all!

Fuck you! Do you want me to suffer just to make my music sound good to you? It's like saying: I'm ready to put sleeping pills into your drink to make you pass out, and then I'll fuck you in the ass and infect you with AIDS.

And everyone will read it and think that it really is. But this is just your opinion! Your propaganda is dangerous for the youth of Russia. This is a sort of madness! However, I ask again: is there any compassion in you? Do you want people to be happy?
