Today, I have an ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ which I translated for you from Russian. It was published in ๐ด๐จ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ด magazine in 2006, just before the release of the album ๐๐๐๐ฌ.
Enjoy reading and let me know what answers you like most!

Come on, during ten years I’ve just got a full taste of it! We finally achieved some kind of mastery and began to enjoy our own concerts. Before, I often sang almost without regaining consciousness. Now, the alcoholic intoxication on stage is over: I try to give the audience the best I can and get the same back. We’ve grown up, and although we still love to dress up in a specific way and put on make-up, now you won’t see me running around the stage in a designer dress.

I wanted to get back to the raw emotionality of the first Placebo album and its pure heavy guitar sound. Also, the time has come to destroy our reputation of a highly intellectual band: tired of confirming.

Yes, in the song "In The Cold Light of Morning". Since I was a kid, I was a massive fan of Cohen. Distorted country guitar that will be heard on our new album is also something from him.

I think Follow The Cops Back Home. In short, this is a song about booze. The character of this song gets insanely drunk, and the worst of ideas is born in his head: to follow the cops driving home from work and try to rob their houses.

For a long time, we wanted to record something similar to what Air did for the film "The Virgin Suicides", that’s it, a full soundtrack which could be later released as a separate album. But unfortunately, we haven’t yet found a suitable film. We already have a lot of instrumental tracks which we don’t release waiting for "our" film.

I don’t know. So far, what is offered doesn’t suit me. And I'm somehow afraid to embark on this adventure again. Even Bowie had failures: along with The Man Who Fell to Earth, he had films like Labyrinth. I really want to act. But if they finally offer something worthy, I would have to go back to drama school for some crash course in acting, because I would have forgotten everything.

I don’t want to be a faded copy of myself, so I don’t even go through scripts about rock stars. About vampires too - thanks, but I will not drink your blood! But if you buy my album ... (Laughs.)

If the song works with one instrument and vocals only then you understand that this is a really strong thing. If you record a song composed six years ago and you still like it, that's also a good sign. "Pierrot The Clown" from the new album is just such a case.

Very close. As a child, I adored the circus: I was fascinated by clowns. But I have always associated myself not with a cheerful redhead but with a sad clown. I even decided that if I was not admitted to college for drama department I would go to a circus school to become a clown. I had to go to the same school as Steve-O from "Jackass"! My life would most likely have turned out in a bit different way but I would still be good. By the way, I still know how to juggle and perform magic tricks.

Yes, touring with a girl band would be fun. But we have girls in our crew: a guitar technician and a make-up artist. They tour with us and of course, beautify our road life. But I like your idea, I will seriously think of it for the next tour.

Someone really beat me, but I don't remember exactly why. I think I insulted some girl, and her husband happened to stand next to me. He just lifted me up and threw me across the room, and I think I landed on the table where Trickey was drinking. So, I wasn't very popular that evening. Good story, nice to remember. Don't ask me what I’ve been doing at the Spice Girls party though.

Well, we flew a private U2 jet for the entire tour when we opened up for them. We came on the stage of the largest rock festivals of the world by helicopter. Once – well, you have to do that at least once in your life! - I broke the TV in the hotel room and was almost taken to jail for that. It was in Monaco. Enough of rock 'n' roll for you? I have some stories to tell my grandkids, no worries!
