💬 These lyrics also deal with the possessive love that suffocates, that asphyxiates. Like I'll Be Yours, which Brian calls "a disturbing song. Someone who seeks to completely engulf another person in the name of love. A situation I've experienced as a victim and it's scary."

💬 It's a song that deals with Obsession and this relentless need to try and be everything for someone... it's very spooky, and it's uncomfortable, because there's love there but it's mixed in with a certain induced folly.

💬 One day somebody wrote a message on the wall of my room: 'My gentle prince, you are the only.' The relationship ended disastrously because the person in question is almost dead."

💬 I have a strong link with this song. It refers to a relationship with a guy and a relation with a certain substance. This two relations ended simultaneously in horrendous circonstances. He used to call me "My Sweet Prince". Lovers can sing it to each other. It's ironic, because it is about a the breakdown of a relationship. It's one of the album's songs written from an ex-lover's standpoint speaking to me. When we were writing "My Sweet prince", a strange thought crossed my mind : this song was becoming really dark and tearing. In fact, it is about painful subjects like drugs and suicide.

💬 It's one of Placebo's classic themes of what we explore. It's a song about individuality [...] and the metaphor of Plasticine as Play dough is, do not allow yourself to be moulded by society, find your own voice. Don't forget to be the way you are, because it's natural. Don't feel that simply because you do not conform to an archetype that there is essentially something wrong with you. Vive la différence !!


📢 Do you feel that that song and that particular subject is something that is relevant to you now, as you're coming back in to the scene / industry ?
💬 Well, yeah, it could be a message to ourselves, you know; making a new record, don't forget to be the way you are. I was quite aware of this fact when we started making this record, that we shouldn't turn our backs on the things that make up Placebo's sound., which we are really good at.

Hi, dear soulmates, do you remember last Wednesday and post about Xavior Roid?
Today, we move to the times when, alongside the Placebo guys, we saw on stage a strong personality of a musician who then continued to successfully develop his music career.

In the 80's and 90's, he played in the bands The Blue Airplanes and Strangelove.
In the late 1990s, he was a live player in the band SUEDE, so in early 2000 he replaced keyboardist Neil Codling and became a full member of Suede. He remained there until their break-up in 2003.


⭐ In January 2006, Lee was recruited for Placebo's live line-up and played with them on their Meds world tour which finished in September 2007. He played guitar and keyboards on the album Live At La Cigale.⭐


Furthermore, his artistic career is very extensive, I would mention mainly original music for ground-breaking documentary series Alone in the Wild in September 2009 and also original music to Hawking, a film about the life of scientist Stephen Hawking directed by Stephen Finnigan released in September 2013.

I am very glad that I managed to find a nice interview where Alex recalls working with Placebo:
🔸⭐𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐱 𝐋𝐞𝐞 – 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐛𝐨, 𝐒𝐮𝐞𝐝𝐞⭐🔸
Alex Lee has been lucky enough to have enjoyed 17 years of playing guitar for a living. The many band’s he’s played for include Strange Love, Suede and now Placebo. I caught up with him on tour with Placebo at London’s Wembley Arena.


𝑊ℎ𝑦 𝑑𝑜𝑛’𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑡 𝑜𝑓𝑓 𝑏𝑦 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑓 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎 𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑡𝑙𝑒 𝑏𝑖𝑡 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑦𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑟 ℎ𝑎𝑠 𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑙𝑢𝑑𝑒𝑑?
"Well, my name’s Alex Lee and I’ve been playing guitar full time now for about 17 years. I left school and started playing in bands straight away and I’m still doing it now! I played in bands at school, was about 15 when I did my first gig and then within six months of leaving school I was asked to join a Bristol band called Blue Airoplanes. They needed a new guitar player to go on tour supporting a band called The Darling Birds who had a top 40 hit at the time so it was great! That went really well and they asked me to stay and pretty soon after we ended up signing a major deal. It snowballed from there really and things started happening really quickly for the band. There was just a big transition at that point from being on a indie label to being on a major and having enough money to go on tour properly and pay everyone a modest wage."


𝐴𝑛𝑑 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑔𝑜 𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑜 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒?
"After that I played with a band called Strange Love who were all friends of mine from Bristol. We put that band together after I left the Airoplanes. Strange Love then went on to support Suede and that’s when they needed someone new to play guitar. They knew me already as I’d spent quite a long time touring with them whilst playing with Strange Love. So really it’s all about meeting people and realising you’re on a similar wavelength as people."..../.../


𝐻𝑜𝑤 𝑤𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑑𝑒𝑠𝑐𝑟𝑖𝑏𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑟𝑜𝑙𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛 𝑃𝑙𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑏𝑜?
"Well, i’m replacing the keyboard player who was playing on the last tour so it was a Keyboard player that they were originally looking for. The fact that I could play guitar was obviously appealing to them as there are a lot of songs on the new album that are guitar based. It also frees Brian and Stef up to do other things if they want. Brian can now put the guitar down for certain songs live and go off and not have to worry about that which can make for more of a visual thing. Then I can free Stef up sometimes so he can give me the meat and potato parts and he can go and do some of the more interesting parts."


𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡’𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑡𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒? 𝐻𝑜𝑤 𝑚𝑢𝑐ℎ 𝑑𝑜 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑟𝑒ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑠𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑎 𝑏𝑖𝑔 𝑡𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑠𝑢𝑐ℎ 𝑎𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠?
"With this tour we did quite a lot of rehearsing, we managed to rehearse for a month which was a rare luxury. With the Suede thing I didn’t get any rehearsal at all, they just sent me a cassette and had a listen on the way the airport and scribbled a few notes down when I got there!! But with Placebo we had a months rehearsal which involved a lot of programming as it was all new equipment we were using. Learning the songs was the easy part!" .../.../


𝐷𝑜 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑘 𝑎 𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑡𝑙𝑒 𝑏𝑖𝑡 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑠𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ℎ𝑜𝑤 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑔𝑜 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑚𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑠𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑏𝑎𝑛𝑑?
"This tour is slightly different for me (the Placebo tour), because I’m using laptops on stage which is a first for me, so I’m completely in the digital domain now. I’m using a system called ‘Guitar Rig’ for the guitars, so every sound is programmed before hand, then saved and you can tweak and save at each show if you need to. So I go from the guitar, to a sound card, to the laptop and then out into a Marshall power amp and speaker. I wanted there to be some form of a valve and speaker in there somewhere! The reason we’ve done this is because both Brian and Stef have very classic rock setups; Brian plays through a Fender twin, Stef through a Marshall. So we thought it would give the sound a different texture. You have to get used to the new technology quite quickly, although I did have to put in the hours when everyone else was in the pub, I was sitting down shouting at computers!! Its still an education to me but we’re a year into this tour and its still working fine so touch wood it’ll work tonight!!!"
