I really love the fact that he is so intelligent and well educated and also very poetic at the same time. French people realise this about him, they take him as the big artist that he is. That is why he is so respectful on interviews like that. Other people would say he is rude byt he is only rude when he is supposed to answer stupid questions, it pisses him off because it's below him.
He likes to take a bath before the concert - how sweet! What can be better, than clean, freshly-bathed Brian? Only HOT, SWEATY BRIAN! My favourite sweaty Brian performance is Gurten Festival 2004 - this is something beyond words,
@brianmolkofaaan "And with cameras you have to be concentrated, you have only one chance to make the DVD, and the problem is that the more you're concentrated, the more you make mistakes! Furthermore there was one of our idols, Franck Black (speaking about "where is my mind")...so we were happy when the concert finished, it was like a big weight had disappeared." "Are you doing something special before concerts?" = "Yes, one day I found a bath in backstages, so I used candles and took a bath!
@brianmolkofaaan "Can you speak about DVD bonus?" = "Yes, there's a documentary in 30min about the american, australian and mexican tours. It's different from the concert, you can see us playing in smalls room (600 persons) in USA, you can see us in differents states, I think it's interesting for fans". "DO you have new plans?" = "Yes! I wish I could be on holiday, by the way I should be on by now! But i suppose that tours are the price for success...
What I said wasn't negative !! Sure, I'm French et i'm happy to hear Brian speaks French flently. But this interview was of 2004 or 2005 ! And the last year, Placebo done a concert and after there was a interview and he said the same things
@brianmolkofaaan Then : "Is the last single, "protège moi" just a private jocke or is it a song for french fans?" = " Yeah it's both, there's an europen taste in this album. Even if there were american sounds in this album, in this song particularly there was a parisian atmosphere, because this song is a waltz. And my french friends in London confirmed, they said there's wa a french atmosphere, so we thought "why not?" "
@brianmolkofaaan Ok I can translate a little : "Can you explain Placebo success in France?" = " I don't want to be cynical but I must admit that if i couldn't speak french we would not have so much success in France, it's a reality...But on the other hand I think there's is in the french culture a tradition about romanticism, and we can think about english bands who had success in France like The Cure, Depeche Mode, The Pixies, Nick Cave...We have in common this romanticism, this torture..."
@brianmolkofaaan Then : "Why a live DVD and not a live album?" = "Because I think live albums are anachronistic, it's old fashioned, it's 70'. Furthermore live albums don't transmit the concert experience, we only have the sound, not images. With the DVD you only miss smells and the guy in the crowd who pushes you!... Question : "The concert recorded in Bercy is particular, for you?" = "It was very stressful because it was the biggest room we ever played in!
@brianmolkofaaan "It's a long time we're singing the same songs...I think i's time for us to hav a break and be creative." Ouf! Enfin fini de traduire!! ^^
très interessante l'interview, et il est quand même très clairvoyant sur pas mal de choses... Au fait hm, "bribri" comme braybray ou 2x le fromage? (excuse-moi, mais ya mieux comme surnom, ca casse un peu le mythe....)
1. Can you explain the success of Placebo in France?"I do not want to be cynical but we probably would not be as successful if I did not speak French. Romanticism. . . 2. The new single Protege Moi is it a personal thing or a present for French fans. A bit of both. 3. Why a DVD live instead of a live album? He finds them to be an anachronism, belonging in the 70s and that you miss out on the experience. 4. The concert at Bercley, that is on the DVD, was it peculiar for you? stressful.

Brian Molko. . .Tu es le romantisme!!
It's so adorable how he smiles while looking at his hands...aw!
And...how cute is how he pronounces the english words 'french' like: DVD [devede]
I love Brian... because of him I started to learn French.

@palabrah Hi Palabrah, i've just translated this interview, hope it'll help!
très interessante l'interview, et il est quand même très clairvoyant sur pas mal de choses...
Au fait hm, "bribri" comme braybray ou 2x le fromage? (excuse-moi, mais ya mieux comme surnom, ca casse un peu le mythe....)
He says all the time the same thing when he speaks french
1. Can you explain the success of Placebo in France?"I do not want to be cynical but we probably would not be as successful if I did not speak French. Romanticism. . .
2. The new single Protege Moi is it a personal thing or a present for French fans.
A bit of both.
3. Why a DVD live instead of a live album?
He finds them to be an anachronism, belonging in the 70s and that you miss out on the experience.
4. The concert at Bercley, that is on the DVD, was it peculiar for you?
stressful.
I'll take up learning French
@1105Leni haha me too!
