๐ŸŽธ Much more than just an additional musician, Bill is an important person in the Placebo universe, as are many other people around the band. Although he was only mentioned on the Black Market Music album for his participation in the track Peeping Tom, Bill's presence with Brian and Stefan is much older.

๐ŸŽธ Today, I want to share an interview he did before the release of Loud Like Love where he talks a bit about his role in Placebo, his meeting with Brian and Stefan. 'Jack of all trades', as he calls himself, has more than one trick up his sleeve !

๐ŸŽธ Stefan and Brian have a talent for surrounding themselves with exceptional people !
Enjoy reading my Dear Friends ๐ŸŒ  ✨

๐Ÿ—จ️ Well, I think the band wanted to be a three-piece, and they asked me to play and I probably didn't look quite as androgynous as them so I started playing off-stage. Then they said "this is silly, forget about it, come on stage". But I'm still in the background and I like it that way. I don't like to be at the front. It doesn't suit my demeanour.

Sleeping with Ghosts because I felt really involved in that one and I liked the tracks and the electronic edge. And the new one, it's fantastic. It's as good as those two.

๐ŸŸ ๐ŸŽŠPlacebo's seventh studio album ๐‹๐Ž๐”๐ƒ ๐‹๐ˆ๐Š๐„ ๐‹๐Ž๐•๐„ was released nine years ago today, on September 13th, 2013๐ŸŽŠ๐ŸŸ 
What this album is? A collection of ten songs, started with a super powerful and hopeful love anthem in ๐‹๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐‹๐ข๐ค๐ž ๐‹๐จ๐ฏ๐ž and closed with the deepest of heartbreak and regret in ๐๐จ๐ฌ๐œ๐จ, with a full spectrum of emotions which can accompany a relationship, in between.
๐Ÿ“ข๐๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง: “It’s ten songs long, about 46 minutes and it’s very much sequenced like an old vinyl record – it definitely has a side A and side B. I guess it’s Placebo’s very personal take and exploration on the most written about subject in the history of popular song. For me, I kind of see it as a collection of ten short stories with a unifying theme that approaches the subject from ten different angles. It explores how love can be violent, brutal, and disorientating, and how the absence of it can lead people to behave in quite extreme ways. It also deals with jealousy, obsession, heartbreak and how addiction can tear relationships apart. So, it’s an album about people and the way that they interact with each other – or fail to.”

๐ŸŸ The album was available in different formats: ๐‚๐ƒ, ๐๐ž๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ž ๐‚๐ƒ ๐๐ข๐ ๐ข๐ฉ๐š๐œ๐ค ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ƒ๐•๐ƒ ๐‹๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐š๐ญ ๐‘๐€๐Š ๐’๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ข๐จ๐ฌ, ๐›๐จ๐ฑ ๐ฌ๐ž๐ญ, and ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ" ๐ฏ๐ข๐ง๐ฒ๐ฅ, which was released three days later, on September 16th.
The Chinese version of the album contains – instead of ๐‘๐จ๐› ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐๐š๐ง๐ค – the song ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐๐š๐ซ๐ญ๐ฒ (๐จ๐Ÿ ๐Ž๐ง๐ž) that is also included in the box set as a bonus track.

๐ŸŸ To celebrate Loud Like Love's release, Placebo’s crew came up with the idea of online TV show. On September 16th, 2013, the day when LLL was fully released worldwide in all its formats, 90-minute live show titled ๐‹๐Ž๐”๐ƒ ๐‹๐ˆ๐Š๐„ ๐‹๐Ž๐•๐„ ๐“๐• was streamed live globally from three YouTube Studios, in ๐‹๐จ๐ง๐๐จ๐ง, ๐“๐จ๐ค๐ฒ๐จ, and ๐‹๐€. It was the first YouTube live stream of its kind.
The show featured, among other unique moments, Placebo performing songs from the album and some older songs (partly chosen by the audience through online poll), band interviews and guest appearances by people who collaborated with Placebo on the making of the album.

๐Ÿ“ข๐๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง: “It is love, but this being Placebo World, it’s not gonna be a collection of love songs in Michael Bublรฉ style. My experience with love, over the past 20 years, is what I’ve pulled on to write these novellas or small fictions. It hasn’t always been about the initial rush of infatuation and that feeling of elation and euphoria that comes with falling in love. Of course, I’ve experienced that, and it’s been quite mind-blowing, but sometimes you could fall in love with somebody who doesn’t know you exist or doesn’t see you that way, or doesn’t even find you attractive, and that can be quite heartbreaking. You can force somebody to leave—inadvertently—out of selfishness or behavior. Often, the absence of love is quite loud... as in the echo or the reverb of an empty cave, the sound of silence, or the sound of your own breathing.

๐Ÿ“ข๐๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง: We wrote the first track on the album, "Loud Like Love," and the last one, "Bosco," at exactly the same time. They couldn't sound more different. They're basically polar opposites. "Loud Like Love" in its recorded version is a very optimistic and upbeat, enthusiastic song about unity and togetherness. "Bosco" is quite a sad story about a relationship that's been torn apart by addiction.

๐ŸŸ It’s interesting that some of the songs were originally written by Brian for his ๐’‘๐’๐’”๐’”๐’Š๐’ƒ๐’๐’† ๐’”๐’๐’๐’ ๐’‘๐’“๐’๐’‹๐’†๐’„๐’• which he was thinking about back at the time.

๐Ÿ“ข๐๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง: I was working on some songs in my home studio or “garden shed”- every man needs a garden shed – and I was trying to write songs for me, without worrying about it having to be at a certain standard for the band. So I was playing acoustic guitars and piano and the only rule I had was that I could use regular guitars but I couldn’t use any distortion. It helped me write in a different way. For example, [new song] ‘Scene Of The Crime’ started with an oboe sample I found on the Internet – I just found it completely wild and started writing the song around it.
(๐‘‡โ„Ž๐‘’ ๐น๐‘™๐‘ฆ, ๐ฝ๐‘ข๐‘™'13)

Then, the band went to the studio to record some singles, but they got so much inspired that - a bit unexpectedly for themselves - started working on a full record.

๐Ÿ“ข๐’๐ญ๐ž๐Ÿ๐š๐ง: For this record the hook that got me back in was when we all got together and wrote the title track [Loud Like Love]. It's the track that got us all excited.
(๐‘€๐‘ข๐‘ ๐‘–๐‘๐‘Ÿ๐‘Ž๐‘‘๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ, ๐ด๐‘ข๐‘”'13)

๐Ÿ“ข๐’๐ญ๐ž๐Ÿ๐š๐ง: “I think it’s a combination of styles and leanings. […] We were finally ready to explore all these emotions and soundscapes and we felt we could do them with confidence and ease, something we couldn’t necessarily do in the past. I think everything we’ve been through has made us stronger, you know, ๐’Ž๐’† ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐‘ฉ๐’“๐’Š๐’‚๐’ ๐’‰๐’‚๐’—๐’† ๐’ƒ๐’†๐’†๐’ ๐’•๐’๐’ˆ๐’†๐’•๐’‰๐’†๐’“ ๐’‡๐’๐’“ ๐’•๐’˜๐’†๐’๐’•๐’š ๐’š๐’†๐’‚๐’“๐’” ๐’๐’๐’˜.”
(๐‘ƒ๐‘œ๐‘๐‘€๐‘Ž๐‘ก๐‘ก๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘ , ๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ฃ'13)

If we were a career band, we would have made a lot of songs that sounded like our biggest hits, but we're not interested in that, even though we think that's what some factions of our fanbase would want. We make music to enjoy ourselves and then we hope that other people enjoy listening to us. If we don't enjoy it, it becomes mechanical and soulless... and boring.

When we compose, we don't think about the fans, we have to like the songs ourselves first. We also think that we create songs that we're going to play on stage for two years or more, if we don't believe in them a little bit, it's suicide.

๐“‘๐“ป๐“ฒ๐“ช๐“ท: Love is drug... but it's also an addiction, there are people who suffer from it. Addiction to love and sex is completely different from addiction to alcohol or drugs, but it's something that exists... But we didn't choose a theme for writing this album... It's the creative process itself that dictates that and that becomes the source of inspiration. We create the music instinctively. It's only afterwards that you realise in your subconscious that at that moment you are talking about love. It's more honest to do it that way. I know there are bands that write in a much more intellectual way but that's not really our thing.

๐“‘๐“ป๐“ฒ๐“ช๐“ท: We didn't want it that way. But what's true is that for every album we don't want to do the same thing as the last one. Not to use the same methods: that's where we start. But we don't choose the atmosphere or the subjects we're going to tackle. It doesn't reflect a state of mind but rather a discipline, i.e. it's by creating that inspiration comes. We are not the kind of artists who wait for inspiration to come, it comes through the work.

๐“ข๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ฏ๐“ช๐“ท: Loud Like Love and Begin The End came very quickly, but we had a hard time with A Million Little Pieces.
๐“‘๐“ป๐“ฒ๐“ช๐“ท: It took us a long time to find the right style for that song. It finally clicked in rehearsal with our producer. He almost became a fourth member of the band. During the writing process we were so emotionally involved that we had no perspective. It's essential to have someone more objective, someone from the outside to tell you: "Well, you've got it or not, it's not there yet". And a good producer doesn't tell you how to do it, but insists that you go on and find out for yourself where you want to go.

๐“‘๐“ป๐“ฒ๐“ช๐“ท: It's about a tragic love affair, torn apart by addictions. It's also about the search for redemption, and asking for forgiveness. What's interesting is that the first song on the album Loud Like Love and the last Bosco were written at the same time. On the one hand you have the big, saturated, punk, upbeat guitars, on the other hand a tragic story. We thought we had all the spectrums of emotions to explore between these two songs.

๐“‘๐“ป๐“ฒ๐“ช๐“ท: The saddest songs are the most tender songs, but not always. The most beautiful is extremely subjective and depends on what you find beautiful. Personally, it's the sad songs and melancholic tunes that touch me the most, but in a very positive way. I feel very alive listening to them because they provoke very strong emotions, like with this Beatles song, Yer Blues written by John Lennon. It's an extremely sad song, completely depressing, but the music is quite violent, hard blues that lets out a lot of frustration and anger. It comes with sadness... We are big Beatles fans.
๐“ข๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ฏ๐“ช๐“ท: There are different degrees of sadness. If there is hope then it can be very poetic. Bosco for example touched me a lot because it's a very sad song with little hope, it's very heavy. But it's also beautiful.

๐“‘๐“ป๐“ฒ๐“ช๐“ท: (๐‘™๐‘Ž๐‘ข๐‘”โ„Ž๐‘ ) yes it's not a song about the financial crisis as many people think. You have to look a little bit under the surface! It's actually a song about carnal obsession, about jealousy. The narrator of this song says: "You can rob banks, make fun of the disabled, behave in an anti-Semitic way, I don't care, as soon as you get home, be satisfied. But if you look at someone else the way you look at me, watch out! Obsession and jealousy are two things that interest me: how to talk about love, without talking about its brutal and violent side?

“It is love, but this being Placebo World, it’s not gonna be a collection of love songs in Michael Bublรฉ style. My experience with love, over the past 20 years, is what I’ve pulled on to write these novellas or small fictions. It hasn’t always been about the initial rush of infatuation and that feeling of elation and euphoria that comes with falling in love. Of course, I’ve experienced that and it’s been quite mind-blowing, but sometimes you could fall in love with somebody who doesn’t know you exist or doesn’t see you that way, or doesn’t even find you attractive, and that can be quite heartbreaking. You can force somebody to leave—inadvertently—out of selfishness or behavior.

“I see life as very bittersweet and I also believe that a lot depends on your attitude to life. My lyrics reflect this view and also the fact that I believe you have to live in a place of acceptance – that life isn’t always fair. Yes – life can be filled with joy if one is open to it but life is also invariably filled with challenges and sadness. To go through life thinking that we don’t deserve to feel sadness at any point in time is I think a form of self-sabotage.

Loud Like Love, a name that fascinated me from the beginning. It may not be your favorite song, but I chose the gentler version for tonight.

is a pure celebration of love, in which we can fully enjoy what we love so much on Placebo - Brian's inimitable vocals with Stefan's talented spirit inserted into the piano keys.

We see ourselves as the rock band, so when we first start writing, we’ll write with a certain punky urgency about it, because we’re happy to be back in the rehearsal room making a lot of noise. But then we’ll realize that perhaps the actual emotional point of the song isn’t really necessarily getting across. And then we’ll slow it right down and make it very sparse and very, very bare. Through that, we’re able to give these songs a new lease of life."

On September 13th 2013 Placebo released their seventh studio album “Loud like love”. The Deluxe Box Set also included two DVDs, “Live at RAK studios” and “Alternative video album”. Each of the music clips from the DVD (except “Loud like love”) was released separately on Facebook the following year, from March 3rd to March 11th. Let's have a closer look at them.
Which of those videos is your favorite?

๐Ÿ“ข Yes, maybe, but at the same time we don't know what to do, that's the problem. It's more and more difficult to renew first, and we're always afraid of repeating ourselves. Some repetitions are inevitable because we have our own style. For me, when I have the tune, in front of this blank sheet, I always have this kind of panic in me. I tell myself 'what do I have to say ? What do I have to tell the world ?' I am not the kind of person who writes thing in an intellectual way. I let myself go with instinct. It's rather the writing process which influences the topics, the emotions of the song. It's more and more difficult maybe because I put more and more value in it.


๐™’๐™๐™ฎ ?
๐Ÿ“ข Because I'm a bit more conscious of the fact that ... Well.. let's say I less believe in my own legend. When you are young, you're very arrogant, you are strongly self confident. With time, it erodes a bit. You ask yourself more questions and you get more of an identity crisis. For me, it becomes another value, a bigger one. I may be too conscious about the missed opportunities in the past. So I push myself more... I am very critical, self critical of things I would have let go before, I fnd it harder these days. So, I have this process of writing, and re-writing, and re-writing. And it often ends at the last moment when you have to finish the album. 'You don't have no more time Brian so write something'. Sometimes a deadline can help.

๐Ÿ“ข Well, no... No, I haven't thought about that until now. It's the same with 'Rob The Bank' on the new album. After the recording, someone told me : 'It reminds me of ‘Follow The Cops Back Home and rob their houses' . I told myself : 'Oh damn, I haven't thought about that'. 'A Million Little Pieces', 'We Come In Pieces', It's not a conscious connection I've made. I have stolen this title from a book by an American writer, James Frey, who wrote a sort of fictionalized essay about his life, about his huge addiction issues. Our song is quite abstract but I wanted to make this connection with this book in order to people, after they listen to this song 'A Million Little Pieces', go and read that book and open their mind and could give context to the song.

๐Ÿ“ข Yes, I hope so. We really wanted this album to be vulnerable, a very human album sonically speaking. Even though we've used lots of electronic instruments on that album, we've used piano a lot and also Indian instruments like dulcimer for example, lots of chords. For me... Yeah, after 'Battle For The Sun', which was a strong guitar album, kind of a guitar wall, I wanted to do something more delicate, more melancholic, with a human side. A sort of melancholy which makes you proud of the fact you can still feel this melancholy. A sort of happy sadness. This is the kind of music, since I've discovered artists like Leonard Cohen who has moved me throughout my life. Songs that make me cry but still make me happy that I am an emotional being and can cry this way.

๐Ÿ“ข It's very interesting because it's the first album where we have used our phones, our ipad as instruments in the studio. There was this kind of childish joy because you can find something on the app store, it takes one minute to get it and you can begin playing. Because of the interface, it gives a childish joy because it's like a toy. It has become something really important on this album, and there's also this hyper human essence of the hands clapping. It gives you an idea of the scope of the sound and instrumentation we wanted to use in the sound of Placebo for this album. Yeah, a sort of democratic posture towards everything.

๐Ÿ“ข It's important to be surrounded by people who are much younger than you are and who understand the whole thing much better than you do and who know how to use the social networks, etc etc. It makes everyday life quite easier in the creation process. You can make a song at home and send it to someone. You spend less time in the studio, getting bored. The producer can send you mixes, things to listen to. It's important to stress because all this technology won't write a song for you. You always need the human touch to give soul to something. Even when you're using an ipad, it's the human touch which controls everything. With this tool, it's rather the accident which is magical. The fact it's brand new, you don't really know how to use it, we often use it the bad way and through these accidents, you can create something magical.

๐Ÿ“ข Aesthetically speaking, I wanted to stop with the Placebo aesthetic which was well established, a physical aesthetic, very figurative and quite monochrome. My first musical crush was psychedelic music. I wanted to do something with all the covers.

"You know it's a good song if you can strip it down to a complete skeletal form and play it on one instrument. At least a guitar or a piano and a voice and it still comes across then you know it's a good song. You can write a song and you have to wait six years for it to actually be recorded and mixed and it still completely levels you. It still has a huge emotional impact on you then you know you've written a great song once it's finished as a track."

♦️ Brian said this in an interview with ๐‘ฝ๐’Š๐’“๐’ˆ๐’Š๐’ ๐‘น๐’‚๐’…๐’Š๐’ ๐‘ฐ๐’•๐’‚๐’๐’Š๐’‚ during the promotion of ๐‘ณ๐’๐’–๐’… ๐‘ณ๐’Š๐’Œ๐’† ๐‘ณ๐’๐’—๐’†, answering to the question: "๐‘Šโ„Ž๐‘Ž๐‘ก'๐‘  ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘’ ๐‘ ๐‘๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘–๐‘’๐‘ ๐‘ก ๐‘Ž๐‘‘๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘œ๐‘› ?". It's no longer a secret ! Addiction is a subject that is close to ๐‘ƒ๐‘™๐‘Ž๐‘๐‘’๐‘๐‘œ's heart and Brian has often spoken about it in his lyrics since the beginning of the band's career.


๐Ÿ“ Going further in the interview, he speaks his words:

๐Ÿ’ฌ I think the scariest addiction on this planet is to alcohol because alcohol is a very addictive drug and it ruins families and it ruins relationships. And it is socially acceptable and it is easy to find. Controlled substances, other drugs are more difficult to get. And it's a crime to buy them. ๐ต๐‘ข๐‘ก ๐‘Ž๐‘™๐‘๐‘œโ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘™ ๐‘–๐‘  ๐‘’๐‘ฃ๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘ฆ๐‘คโ„Ž๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘’. And if you are unfortunate enough to become addicted to it, it can be disastrous. And there is still ๐‘Ž ๐‘ ๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘”๐‘š๐‘Ž ๐‘Ž๐‘ก๐‘ก๐‘Ž๐‘โ„Ž๐‘’๐‘‘ ๐‘ก๐‘œ ๐‘Ž๐‘™๐‘๐‘œโ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘™ ๐‘Ž๐‘‘๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘œ๐‘› ๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘‘ ๐‘Ž๐‘‘๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘œ๐‘› ๐‘–๐‘› ๐‘”๐‘’๐‘›๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘Ž๐‘™. An addict is perceived as being somebody of weak moral fiber. But the fact of the matter is that the World Health Organization has classified addiction as a disease and there are statistics on this. On the planet, on average, one person out of ten is addicted to something, whether it's alcohol, illegal drugs, sugar, sex, pornography... The list goes on and on and on and on. ๐ผ๐‘ก'๐‘  ๐‘Ž ๐‘ฃ๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘ฆ ๐‘Ÿ๐‘’๐‘Ž๐‘™ ๐‘๐‘Ÿ๐‘œ๐‘๐‘™๐‘’๐‘š ๐‘–๐‘› ๐‘œ๐‘ข๐‘Ÿ ๐‘ ๐‘œ๐‘๐‘–๐‘’๐‘ก๐‘ฆ. And I don't believe that until we take this stigma away from it that people can really get the help that they need. Because ๐‘–๐‘ก'๐‘  ๐‘Ž ๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘’๐‘Ž๐‘ ๐‘’ ๐‘™๐‘–๐‘˜๐‘’ ๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘ฆ ๐‘œ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘’๐‘Ÿ ๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘’๐‘Ž๐‘ ๐‘’. If somebody gets cancer, nobody goes: "Hey it's your fault man". And it's exactly the same thing with addiction.We have a a comedian and an actor in the UK called ๐‘น๐’–๐’”๐’”๐’†๐’๐’ ๐‘ฉ๐’“๐’‚๐’๐’….

๐Ÿ“– In his documentary, Brand challenges the system currently in use to treat addicts in Britain. His passionate, honest and eye-opening opinions on what needs to change is captivating. When Amy Winehouse died, a friend of his at the time, he realized he needed to stop taking drugs. He was told that if he kept up his lifestyle of daily drug use he would either be dead, in jail or in an insane asylum within 6 months. By the time he was 27, the same age Amy Winehouse died, Russell Brand was clean.

The method he took was an abstinence program. It worked for him but as we find out, only 10% of addicts are treated this way. Instead, the root of the issue is ignored and the government prescribes methadone to the addicts instead of drugs such as heroin and this way they are taking a legal drug with a prescribed amount. As Brand argues, this is not making the addicts any less of addicts just because they are now on a legal government authorized drug. In fact, addicts will always crave a high and therefore the prescribed amount of methadone will simply keep them too stable; addicts are going to continue taking their drugs. Though methadone is supposed to stop needle use and lower HIV from being spread, it is not addressing the true disease and condition that is addiction. Addiction should be being addressed as a health issue not a judicial or criminal issue. Russell Brand talks to a scientist who is leading research into the brain and how it relates and is affected by addiction. He also talks to doctors and addicts themselves giving us an in depth look at addiction. ๐Ÿ“•

๐Ÿ’ฌ The theme of Song To Say Goodbye is keeping only the best aspects of your life. It's the first track I wrote in India. I went there for a lot of reasons, one of them being to try and change my lifestyle. I wanted to make me understand that I should not become a rock'n'roll clichรฉ and that the world doesn't need another dead rock star. I've written it as a letter to myself.

๐Ÿ’ฌ When I started working on this record, I only had two subjects to write about: love and addiction. I don't want to follow the path of Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix or Kurt Cobain. Or even worse: Pete Doherty. I've also always had a problem with the glorification of addicted rock stars. A junkie in the gutter is a junkie in the gutter. But I can't deny it: I had also taken that dead-end road - one day I realized there was a chance I might be the next rock casualty.

♦️ Dear Soulmates, I am aware that today's topic is serious. But beyond the musical aspects of Placebo, there's always a subject to dig into, whether it's personal turmoils, unfortunate stories, the world being run by trigger-happy clowns... But mostly there have been stories directly or indirectly revolving around drugs.

๐Ÿ“ Brian has repeatedly addressed the damaging effects of drugs and alcohol. The most obvious being the ๐‘ด๐’†๐’…๐’” ๐’—๐’Š๐’…๐’†๐’ which describes the loss of self-control when under the influence of substances.


๐Ÿ’ฌ Meds is about losing yourself, not recognising yourself. You feel lost, hopeless, and you don't know what you think, what you really feel. It's a very disturbing feeling for me and for everyone else, and I wanted to express it.
