The ultimate questions on life, sex and Gary Glitter. This week, Placebo mainman Brian Molko gets somewhat sordid with Paul Brannigan…

π’“That would have been when I got thrown out of the girls’ toilets in a venue in Buffalo, New York. No, I can’t tell you what I was doing to get thrown out…”
π³πππ ππππ πππ ππππππ ππ πππ πππππππ?
π’“It was a fellow musician when we were taking part in a debate about ‘Yob Rock’ for another magazine. He was really attacking a guy from another band, being unnecessarily insulting, so I wanted to teach him some manners.”
π³πππ ππππ πππ ππππ πππππ π π ππππππ?
π’“For the christening of our drummer Steve’s baby. My Mum used to drag me to church every Sunday when I was younger, but I have no desire whatsoever to attend now.”

π’“When I almost got busted in Trafalgar Square whilst carrying class A drugs. I was psyching myself up for a search and a night in the cells, because I was completely wired when the two cops searched me.”
π³πππ ππππππ πππ’π ππππ ππ ππ πππππππ ππ π ππππ ππππ?
π’“Gary Glitter. I recon he wouldn’t shut up and he’d be really irritating. Elevator lights are too bright like the lights in McDonald’s, and I think his suit would be too much for me to bear.”
π³πππ ππππ πππ ππππππ ππππππππ πππ?
π’“Girls Against Boys. We’ve played with them last year and they’re amazing. I love then for their energy, their sexiness, their low-down crotch bass, their hip-orientated grooves, everything.”
π³πππ ππππππ πππππ πππ ππππππ ππ ?
π’“I went to my first ever, and possibly last ever, football match in Dundee on Boxing Day. I went with our manager Dave, who’s a Dundee United fan, because I was staying in Dundee with my Mum anyway. I froze my bollocks off, but it was an okay match.”

π’“The new ‘Romeo And Juliet’ movie – it’s excellent. It’s set in modern times and it’s totally amazing with a cool, totally modern soundtrack. I’m really into films. On tour we play this game called Cinemaphobia, where you have to link different actors through the films they’ve been in with other people. Usually, any two actors can be linked via their co-stars within three films…’

π’“The last time I flew back from the States I stuck my change in the Unicef bag. I hardly ever think of giving money to charity. That’s shameful, isn’t it?”
π³πππ ππππ πππ ππππ ππππππππ πππ π ππππ?
π’In a pub in Brixton. I got asked, ‘What do you want, love?’, so I said, ‘A pint of Stella’ in my gruffest possible voice. I get mistaken for a girl all the time. I was at a party once and this guy spent half an hour chatting me up before he realised I wasn’r a girl. He only copped on because I finally said, ‘My name’s Brian’ – and he laughed and said, ‘How can your name be Brian if you’re a girl?’. I think he was a little disappointed.”
π³πππ ππππ πππ πππππ ?
π’“On my birthday I bawled my eyes out. It’s my party so I can cry if I want to! I freak out when I get very drunk. We call it ‘going to Super France’. You drink too much whisky, shout a lot and get energetic for a couple of hours, then at some point in the evening you have a complete freak-out, and burst into tears and end up lying in the road.”
