[Lera]

Everybody says that Placebo live is SOMETHING.Me so jealous, I'd be happy to see them live.Not as much as Muse, of course :P

[rory]

one question: does anybody own their song "where is my mind" and could upload it for me??

i'd be thaaat thankful.

[Gitta Rensolo]

[Chris Maritn]

Me so lucky :rolleyes3:

[ColdplayTurkey]

Placebo i don't like them but i love their songs. Song to say goodbye and it's clip is very cooll!!!

[Miss-Clementine]

in a song to say goodbye, he goes like "u are one of god's mistakes, ----------waste of skin"

whats in between? sorry im just too lazy to search for the lyrics and i cant find the song right now, so please help!

[Redundancy]

You crying, tragic waste of skin :nice:

[Miss-Clementine]

yes thank you!! thats just such a good insult i swear!

[Redundancy]

if i knew thats why u want to know i wouldnt have told you! :P kidding :nice:

[swallowedinamessage]

has anyone seen the Infra Red video? lots of ants walking on walls and a government takeover thing .. very interesting lol. any ideas on what the next single may be?

[Redundancy]

yup, ive seen it :) really like it, song is brilliant aswell! but no no idea about the next Single :P

Hello Nige by the way :nice:

[swallowedinamessage]

Hey good to see you about Will :) hope you are doing well!

i have a sneaky feeling the next single could be Post Blue. for me its probably the song i least like on the album but placebo seem to like it and a lot of other people do too.

[Redundancy]

yeah im good mate thx :) hope ur doing the same.

i was supposed to get the album today along with James Blunt (:P) and the Bends by Radiohead, only got the last 2 though :(

[swallowedinamessage]

lol well save Meds for another time then hey. its a good album, look out for Follow The Cops Back Home & Pierrot The Clown, very nice. the whole album is good really.

[Miss-Clementine]

i got Meds and i just love it!!! i also saw that infrared video, i think its really cool.

[kate_89]

What do You think...Which album by Placebo is the best??

In my opinion "Placebo" the firsat album is better than another!

[swallowedinamessage]

ermm i'm actually not sure i can pick one album over another ... if i was pushed i'd probably say Meds but i like all of them, every one has a different appeal to it :)

[Oenona]

has anyone seen the Infra Red video? lots of ants walking on walls and a government takeover thing .. very interesting lol. any ideas on what the next single may be?

No, I haven't, although I'll do it - youtube - :lol:

In my opinion should be "Meds" (first place) or "Drag" (second place) 'cos they're the songs that I love the most of the whole album but we will see...

[Lera]

Yeah, I've seen Infra-red. I like it, all this political stuff in songs and videos.

[Ireentje]

Great vid =)

[Redundancy]

bump people, bump! those guys are brilliant!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju5SmN0wLGA

[zeoir]

whooa, i might see them in May :dance: They come to Finland :dance: Yaayyeyyya.
I'm not a huge fan of Placebo but i do like their music, and my friend is a huge placebo (and Brian Molko) fan so she forces me to go, not that i don't want to though.

hahaha, i'm soo happy if i can go.
Both Placebo and Muse this summer

[Redundancy]

lucky! :bigcry:

[Lera]

Ahh good ol' days :nice:

I like their early stuff but I don't really like their first and their last albums. They're very different from 'Without You I'm Nothing', 'Sleeping With Ghosts' etc.

[Cirrus Minor]

Ahh good ol' days :nice:

I like their early stuff but I don't really like their first and their last albums. They're very different from 'Without You I'm Nothing', 'Sleeping With Ghosts' etc.

Exactly the same here !

I adore Without You I'm Nothing (song) and Sleeping With Ghosts is my favourite album from them.

However, I love 36 Degrees and Pierrot The Clown.

[Lera]

Pierrot The Clown.

Exactly :nice:

[zeoir]

Whoow

I bought my placebo ticket today :dance:

We went to wait 45 mins before they started to sell them and whow, it was crazy, 5 mins after they had started to sell the tickets all the floor tickets( i hope you get what i mean) were sold out and 2 hours after there were only few tickets left :wacko:

The place is not huge, but i don't think people thought the tickets would be sold out so fast..

I'm really looking forward to seeing them :nice:

[malystrx]

woow!I love Placebo I love Brian I love their music..Although they've been the most populer with meds,i find them successful..

[Rad-Cold]

Their album is really great :D
I love Meds :nice:

[Mojo Pin]

I wanted to go to Chile last week to see them but i'm broke after my last trip , damn! :bigcry:

[talisman]

i cant wait to see them in June

[Lera]

I'm seing them in May :smug:

[Giuly2E]

ok, sorry

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

*bump*
As i've been listing to them since some weeks ago i'll post here.
I expected that we will have like a 50 pages thread or something, and we have just 20 since 2003. :(

I began to listen to them from their last album, but i knew of their first album when was realised in spain, i wanted to buy it but as i was a child (i was like 11 or 12 at that time i think) i didn't bought it :cry: and now i wish i've done it. :(

I begun to listen to them 'cause Song to say good bye that was played on the shops where i use to go... then i begun to like infra-red... love molko's haircut there and his dark clothes (i love him on dark clothes).... and now recently i knew that he did every you and every me (which is played on one of the films that i love most "cruel intentions") since then i can't stop my placebo addiction, althought i must reckon that i was scared at first for molko's style... you know he is so androgenous, but i love his voice.

I've just listened to:
Song to say good bye
infra-red
meds
every you and every me
pure morning
special needs
taste in men
because i want you

gonna listen to more songs of them, the ones that the founders of this thread recomended. ;)

pd: sorry for the long post, but at least placebo's thread is bumped since almost 2 months ago. :o

don't let placebo's thread die.

[Giuly2E]

I meant dark hair:P....anyway I don´t know what his original color may be...but I don´t think he was a blonde...maybe he had brown hair or something like that...maybe we could find some photos from hi childhood..

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

pics of his childhood... don't know... :thinking: would be interesting... may be find a pic of his son would help to imagine what's the original look of him.... :idea2:

oh well they need to take something during concerts, be playing during hours with the lights must be tiring.

oh may be.... as you said he is quite excentric so... if he spent much money on it, he must be so hooked... i think :thinking:
i also thought it was about the cereals but never listen that music on the adverts, and if you've seen the clip.. someone is checking steve (i think is the drummer) and brian get into his body driving something.... :thinking:

that's the thing i don't like of artist, as i read an article that says that main drugs are on our brian, and we use them when we think, so if we are in a creative mood we are taking them... and if they need to take them to be creative, is a bad thing :confused:

but as i told to my dad somedays ago, i can understand that being on a tour must be stressing and so you need "help" to go on with a concert almost each night.

i think the second pic of cody is not the same baby but as in the first one seems older and has longer hair, is not that close and his eyes are closed so don't know...

i think we are getting molko addicted :uhoh: hehe.

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

well the kid could be brian... but thinking of the pic colour thing... temporal line, the b/w pics are previous to colour ones so... btw i read that brian and stef went at the same school... so may be is true.... because as the pics machines don't came all at the same time, could be them aren't a fake.

i wonder where people found those things

btw could you see the pic of him witouth make-up?.

yes may be... don't know..... but you see they know the story behind the pic lol...

yes is quite weird, we used to see him with make-up... lol. withough it he just look like a normal boy, the one you won't pay attentio if you find him on the street, don't you think?

yes probably...but if you think it´s always like this with celebrities...you could never imagine finding them on the streets, and sometimes when it actually happeneds you can´t really realize it:P....it happend to me and my mom...we were in rome and at a point, just out of a famous theatre, a man came out of the door and almoust fell over my mom....he said quicly that he was sorry and my mom just walked on and I was lik: mom!:stunned: did you see who THAT was??:P...in the end it was a quite famous italian actor and my mom didn´t even realized it was him:P

anyway I think brian would look good too, but it would just not be him without make up and dyed hair:P

i beging to think that they take a different look when they are on the tv and touring, different of their real look, so they can have a life when they aren't on tour, i mean it would be so stressing to have to stop to sign autographs all the day...

wow, quite funny.
when i went to madrid with my class i saw a famous actor here ans shouted like a crazy is *his name* and so all my classmates when to chase him and asked for pics and stuff... at first it would be funny but, so stressing.

actually I was thinking about that too...anyway I think it´s probable that they don´t put make up on when they are not on tour...it would have no sense anyway...even all he women I know don´t put make up on everyday:p
and anyway it´s important for a celeb to get some privacy and don´t be recognised everywhere he/she goes!

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

*bump*
i've read that has been rumoured that they were going to play in a city in my region :o
but stefan said that they won't. :(

without any doubt i would be there, if they would had gone. :cool4:

may be i've already had said that here, but... anyways was to bump the thread.

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

i've read on a last group that steven, the drummer is leaving Placebo :o :cry: why? :(

well he wasn't the first drummer that Placebo has had but anyways, i like him. I suppouse that is because he feels that is a period of his life that must close (he has been playing on that band for 10 years or so i think)..

good luck Steven, we will miss you.

(i will look for that news anyways and post a link here if i find it).

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

http://www.nme.com/news/placebo/31496
here's the link, from a good source.

I believe that it was amicable, so i was right on my guessing, Steven wanted to finish a period of his life, that's all.

good.. but hey i want to see you live this year, so c'mon and play again boys :p (nah i'm joking, better to wait till they have a great new album and a new good drummer), hope it don't take them a couple of years, if so be aware i'll go to all your concerts in Spain and Portugal then :wink3: jk :p

ahaha, didn't know coldplayers dig Placebo too!
I love their old songs, best being their debut.

finally somebody that posts here :nice: welcome.
which song you want to be played for you now? ;)

i've been listening them since this summer, and i bumped that old thread as i can't find an old one with loads of pages and pics about them. (people were more obsessed than me on that thread, but when it was opened i didn't payed attention to Placebo, they scared me :embarassed:) now i'm sorry for that.

do you own any albums of them? seen them in concert?, your fave song? since when you listen them?...

many questions i know but i hope that this thread don't die, we must keep it alive. ;)

btw i had found a placebo quiz some weeks ago if i find it again i'll post the link here.. it told me that i'm a huge fan of them :cool4:

yea, i own all their albums(the singles collection too). Sadly I havent seen them live cos no one great comes to Singapore(Southeast Asia).
I've only seen Muse and Coldplay live here, Brett Anderson cancelled his gig earlier this August ): ):

My fave song..hmm, that's really hard to choose but I think some of my all time favourites are Slave To the Wage, Bionic, Teenage Angst..etc
Have been listening to them since about 2 years ago.

yes the early... i had the chance to had bought their first album like 12 years ago (i didn't do it, as i though i was too young for that), if i would had bought it, lol probably now i would be bored of them, or at least i could had seen them live...
btw the people on the thread i told you about were much more obesessed than me

oh i know. :( i'm sorry for that friend (i don' know your name)

Wow Muse and Coldplay. that's great :nice: congrats for you.

well i generally prefer their last two albums, but their first albums are ok too.. my faves are.. well english summer rain, sleeping with ghosts, protege moi....

we must keep this thread alive, so come and post here as often as you can :) (this thread had died like 3 times) :( people that opened it (in 2003) don't come here so often so...

haha, im afraid i cant do that friend, I'm only here for Radiohead (haha, one of those ateasers).

But yea keep up your love for Placebo. An underrated band. And molko is too cute to resist.

English Summer Rain was actually the song that introduced me to Placebo. ;)

oh, but don't you find that we are good people? :rolleyes: you can stay here Radiohead fans. :)

underrated band... well may be, when i posted asking about coldplay like 4 years ago on a music site in Spain, people told me that the good bands are Placebo and Muse (they were playing here at that moment)

i think they had improved themselves with the time, like good wine. :D you like molko? i like his voice more than other thing, but he is cute, specially since he is more male-style. :nice: (Infra-red vid for instance)., but i enjoy so much Stefan toom, good bassist and i like his dance hehe :laugh2: it makes me smille when i'm sad.

yeah, great song. I like to listen it when rains where i am now (rains often too), don't know why on that song i link it with Speciak K one.. :thinking:

I'm still learning about them, they have a big work and i haven't listened all their songs i hope i can buy some of their albums. :nice:

hmm, usually the forums i go to, they dont cite placebo as a good band you know. as in good but not great/awesome. I like Special K too, but i dont link it with ESR. and yea, stefan has great gay dances.

I guess the appeal to placebo is really their catchy music. It's just simple, 'groovy', really nice to listen to. Unlike those metal bands. haha.

what albums do you have now?

I link it for the line "drop on by" but i don't really know why i link both songs for that line...

yeah great gay dances :D he always cheers me up with his dances. :nice: if i ever talk to him i will tell him that, "thanks man for cheer me up with your gay dances" :p jk.

i don't own any album of them yet :cry: i'm downloading some songs that a guy is posting on a thread (PLACEBO - SINGLES), i want to buy their last 2 albums because are the ones i like most of what i had listened... a guy that i know recently have two albums, of them, may be i'll ask him to let me copy them, but i'll buy the albums anyways. :nice: i haven't seen their albums yet on the shop where i go, must look on another one. I'm new in that city, so i know few places yet.

Placebo is rather mainstream, you should be able to find it in most of the music stores.

for me:

PLACEBO(debut) > Sleeping With Ghosts > Without You I'm Nothing > MEDS > Black Market Music

I hope i can buy at least (this year i hope) Sleeping with Ghosts and Meds. But i would like to can buy the 5 of them.

well, i think a new drummer might be good, i'd really love to see them going in another direction in music. trying out something new, a new drummer might make it happen.

though there's always the possibility of them retiring. :(

i want to see them live before they retire though.

you would like them to go acoustic? :uhoh:

i want to see them live too. :dance: but they aren't on tour now :cry:

man i wish i can see on a same night Placebo, Muse, Jet, Coldplay, Stereophonics.. well more than in a concert it must be a summer festival :cool4: that'll be wonderful. but i have nobody to go with, my friends don't like them. :cry:

i see that you are convinced that they will retire soon :uhoh: please Molko and Olsdal don't retire, keep working as you has been doing.

but them going acoustic, that'll be a great change... i don't know if i would like it :thinking:

it's just a suggestion...perhaps they can try more electronica stuff.

come up with more songs like English Summer Rain and Special Needs

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

well if they will stop working now, for a short time, find another drumer and prepare a new album, they i think they will try new things, brian said he likes to try new things on each album and improve himself on lyrics.

so may be they can go to one side or to the other one.... electronica or acoustic, an album with songs of both styles would be good... :)

so now they are on a break running their solo or other projects, or just relaxing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNWAYEwLn80(Pixies cover) Great performance, they all rock, although Stef appears very few on the screen :thinking:

enjoy!

NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS

according to a board (the owners say that they had talked with the bassist (Stefan Olsdal)):
he has confirmed us the latest news published on the official site. After the long tour they have been doing for Meds, Placebo are still enjoying their holidays. Stefan is working in Hotel Persona's project enthusiastically, the album is already finished and they are now on negotations with different labels to release it. Even so Hotel Persona will give their first live shows in the next months.
Hotel Persona will be touring till Spring 2008, when Placebo will be back to the studio for the recording of their new album.The boys already have some new songs to work with. In that moment the band will have too to choose a new drumer to work with in studio and live. There won't be any solo album by Brian Molko, the songs he is preparing will be for Placebo's new album.

and I just realised I have missed Placebo in Singapore last year. :/
They came for some little 'showcasing'. HMV was issuing out tickets for those who buy Placebo's MEDS + any other album. It was very vague so I didn't know they they would actually come IN PERSON. I thought it's just some album showcase. So when I finally went back to HMV thinking I should go no matter what cos I love them, THE TICKETS ARE ALL GONE. :cry:

I think that i hadn't said that but Placebo has a new drummer.

*drums*

the chosen one is: Steve Forrest (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Forrest) ex-drummer of the band Evaline.

The next album will be released in 2009 no name or date yet.

Source: wikipedia (en, es, fr)

so i dunno if believe it or not. :uhoh:

[Black Rose]

Until you hear the news come out from the band or the record label, don't believe anything.

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

^I know... that's why i don't trust it very much.. i should check their site better... :thinking:

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

according to their myspace is true; the new drummer is Steve Forrest.

PLACEBO - THE RETURN!


Good news friends - Placebo are back in the studio working on a new album!
The band finished the last touring campaign in September of last year in the USA (on the Projekt Revolution tour with Linkin Park and My Chemical Romance) and since then took some much needed time out, and over the past couple of months have been hard at work writing and demoing the new material in London.
The boys are now recording with producer David Bottrill (the man behind Tool's 'Aenima', 'Salival' and 'Lateralus' albums, Silverchair's 'Diorama' and dEUS 'The Ideal Crash'). Engineering the album is James Brown who worked with the band on 'Meds'.
……….And on the drums with Placebo……..?????!!!!! Introducing.…..Mr Steve Forrest! From Modesto, California. Previously the drummer with the American rock band, 'Evaline'. Some of you may have spotted Steve playing with Evaline supporting Placebo on their US tour in October 06.

nobody is checking that thread or what?
they are coming back on this year 2009

just got to know they have a new yt channel too:
http://www.youtube.com/user/officialplacebo

there are 3 vids, of his "first" concert, with the new drummer.
and 3 interviews. (2 preshow, 1 postshow)
(hadn't watched them all yet)

:uhoh: i must get used to their new "style" yet. :thinking:
they kind sound a bit different now, seems will go electric again.

[Dejan]

The new drummer looks like a poser

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

The new drummer looks like a poser
yep, you are right :uhoh:
i must get used to him yet... i liked Steve, i must check what is about his solo work (he left the band because he has a solo project)
i don't see the point of leaving the band for that, 'cause the bassist is on another band too and hadn't left Placebo.

(is just me or seems they only have Steves there? ... you know bassist name is Stefan... drummer was Steve, new drummer is Steve, strange :confused: )

(is just me or seems they only have Steves there? ... you know bassist name is Stefan... drummer was Steve, new drummer is Steve, strange :confused: )

i think it's just a coincidence. i like placebo a lot, i personally think they're a bit underrated here in uk, they are much more popular in europe.

anyway, i look forward to the new album, meds was awesome, and old stuff, too.

No England dates :(

[deaths_friend]

wow i dont think i've ever seen a well-known band play sooo many festivals in the one european summer. i'm sure they will do the UK fests in late july and august like reading and leeds and V festival.

why does it say 8pm next to each and every date. surely they won't be starting their set at the exact same time every night.

well i just copied and pasted what their myspace said :uhoh:

really all the concerts on the same time... is a bit strange... and surely if they will play on a festival... may be that's the time when the festival open. :thinking: i must check that.

Placebo recorded the as yet untitled album with producer David Bottrill (Muse, Tool and Silverchair) and are promising the newmaterial has an "epic sound".

We can expect a new album from Placebo around the middle of this year.

NEW ALBUM "BATTLE FOR THE SUN" Release Date: June 8, 2009

'Battle For The Sun' was recorded over three months with producer Dave Bottrill in Toronto, Canada and mixed in London by Alan Moulder.

Singer Brian Molko said the band had made an album “about choosing life, about choosing to live, about stepping out of the darkness and into the light”.

He added: “Not necessarily turning your back on the darkness because it’s there, it’s essential; it’s a part of who you are, but more about the choice of standing in the sunlight instead.”

placebo have done what ?
c'mon.....don't think like most of the blind coldplay fans...

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

the song is on youtube too.... mmm sounds like a mixtue of other works :\ ... as if they've mixed at least 2 or 3 songs (music) and another 2 (voice)... :uhoh:

well i guess is a matter of get used to it.

[RadioMad]

The intro (first minute) of the song is a bit so-so and repetitive, but fuck me... it really blossoms into being an awesome classic Placebo rocker!

I think I am going to like this album.

[deaths_friend]

the vocals on the song are amazing, true Molko style. but i found the guitar work to be a little tired sounding. nonetheless cant wait to go see them on this tour

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

AL
Placebo announce full album tracklisting

Brian has explained the thinking behind the collection, as well as the tracklisting.
Molko said: "I believe 'Battle' to be the first of our albums to tell a story over the course of its 52 minutes. Our previous releases were really only collections of songs and even though the songs are ordered according to the musical flow, I hope that if you listen hard enough to the words that some kind of discernible thematic unity will begin to emerge."
BUM / BATTLE FOR THE SUN

The tracklisting is:
'Kitty Litter'
'Ashtray Heart'
'Battle For The Sun'
'For What It’s Worth'
'Devil In The Details'
'Bright Lights'
'Speak In Tongues'
'The Never-Ending Why'
'Julien'
'Happy You're Gone'
'Breathe Underwater'
'Come Undone'
‘Kings Of Medicine’

[deaths_friend]

is it fair to call it a "Festival Tour"?

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

no big surprise, the album is released in june, so summer time has a lot of festivals everywhere, good way to tour/promote the album the first months.
and well they use to play in festivals, not only on this tour... pay attention to 17th July, two concerts on the same day? :thinking: :o

anyways i would call it a festival tour if they would come to any festival near to were i live :P (those are not very known ones, although two years ago they were seriously rumoured for one of them :stunned: ).
I hope they will announce more dates in Spain anyways. :) (Bilbao is very far from where i live :cry: )

[deaths_friend]

new song

For What Its Worth- first official single off Battle For The Sun

YouTube - Placebo For What It's Worth

[Famous Old Painter]

Good stuff! Restored my faith a bit after being worried by the title track. This looks like a good album, and even if not this is still a mighty fine Placebo single leaving that trend unbroken.

[a-chan]

Good stuff indeed! I heard it this morning on the radio and they interviewed Brian who said the 'Placebo split' rumors are bullshit...He said that the band have many things to achieve musically and that a split is out of the question for the years to come ^^

[RadioMad]

Oehhhh new single. I like.

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

The new single's video is able on their youtube channel.

I like it, the suits, and the stop and labels things. although lol they keep with their stuff.
hehe their hair, well i miss the old drummer... :\

YouTube - Placebo - For What It's Worth (Official Video)

btw i found a link somewhere with 4 songs of the album, but the link is dead now, and not i could download them. :(

[deaths_friend]

BRAIN MOLKO GREW HIS HAIR!! LONG!! REALLY LONG!!!

i love the song and annoyed at the negative reaction to it. its a much more mature sounding placebo and i'm really looking forward to this upcoming record.

but the little mario kart bit is an epic fail.

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

yes hehe i've noticied that from another vid from their channel some months ago.
so strange how it can be that long when not long ago he has it very short. :thinking:

what do you mean with the mario kart bit?

[Famous Old Painter]

but the little mario kart bit is an epic fail.

That bit is pure genius. You die now.

Also on Rage last night, they played this clip next to Kasabian's newbie Fire. Two formerly short haired now way too long hair singers in a row. Is this the new style?

[deaths_friend]

^^

haha. maybe in the context of this so called "concept' album it might make more sense.

and God bless Rage!! its a dream of mine to one day(night) programme an episode of Rage.

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

YouTube - Placebo - Battle For The Sun
^just found that video.
on the adverts it says that today they will play 4 songs for xfm.
too bad i didn't knew it earlier :\

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

There are vids (youtube) with the songs they played for xfm (ashtray heart, wouldn't it be good, battle for the sun, for what it's worth) radio and of their show played in Sheffield.


user bullydayz seems have more songs played live on his channel:
Julien
Happy you're gone
devil in the details
speak in tongues
ashtray heart


Btw from what i've read their new song: Wouldn't it be good, is a reprise from Nik Kershaw from 1984.
Well sincerelly when i've listened that one i thought the video was a rick-roll as i thought... :uhoh: don't that song is from the 80's :uhoh:

[Famous Old Painter]

Hmm album is streaming online tonight.

Can I count on anyone for a rip?

[deaths_friend]

^^

i'll be back in about 3hours but i first need to sign up then record it. so i'll try and have it up by 10PM (Syd time) tonight. but im sure by that time there will be a million links all over the internet.

can't wait to listen to it. sucks how all these great records are coming out near exam time :(

[Famous Old Painter]

On the contrary, I find them a welcome distraction

[deaths_friend]

hehe i have enough distractions in my life aside from music obsession. i've just finished downloading the album and will start recording uploading and posting the songs very soon. but dinner first.

[deaths_friend]

half way through recording the album.

is anyone else listening to it? its loading very quickly which i am happy about.

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

where is it streaming? :thinking:

[deaths_friend]

www.placeboworld.co.uk/battleforthe sun

sign up on the website they will send you a password and then enjoy. but you only get 5 listens. no pausing or going back

thanks a lot for the links :D :thumbsup:
(btw there was a placebo downloads thread here (http://coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=40272&highlight=placebo) ).

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

hehe asthray heart has some part in spanish :lol: that has made my day.
cenicero, cenicero, cenicero
mi corazón cenicero.
(means:
ashtray, ashtray, ashtray
my ashtray heart).
i would say the accent of the spanish part is mexican, i'm not sure thought (the C sounds more like an S in spanish that is not typical from Spain).

[deaths_friend]

i'm glad they havent tried to be too fancy or ambitious with this record. its just your regular Placebo album and i like it. nothing earth shattering but still enjoyable.

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

i agree with you, well i see some conections with previous albums too, i mean some ideas repeat again.

i'm sure it'll be a great album when it'll be played live. :)

[Rad-Cold]

Im gonna see them sunday! :dance:

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

lucky you :dance:
enjoy it and tell us how it goes. :nice:

[Rad-Cold]

Kitty litter is a really good song too :nice:

[Gitta Rensolo]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'll probably go to a Placebo concert in December...:dance:

[deaths_friend]

nice to have a Mod who is into placebo. good work Gitta Rensolo!!

if theres anyone trying to get into placebo nothing beats their compilation Once More With Feeling and their live dvd Soulmates Never Die. i love a band who puts a bit of thought into their titles.

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

went to hospital today and while waiting, i read the press.
there's a new mtv event (free) happening in my city next 26th july.
apparently Placebo (among other 5 bands) are coming to play :dance:
but i've just checked their myspace and that event is not listed there :bigcry:
plus i doubt i'll be here at that time :bigcry: that's so unfair.
i hope that things turn to the good side for me.

[Rad-Cold]

Aww I hope you can see them live! :(


And im listening their cd almost every day now! I love it! Its so good! :heart: I wanna go to their concert in december!

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

thanks a lot i hope so too, yet they have not announced it on their summer gigs :\

indeed is a great album ;) did you saw them live before that festival you attended recently?

it'll be great if you can seem them again this december :nice:

[bee_panda]

I like the new album.
Can't stop listening to Kings Of Medicine.

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

I like the new album.
Can't stop listening to Kings Of Medicine.
great. ;)
probably one of my fave songs of the album too. :D

btw that possible concert in my city is not listed on their myspace or site :(
i'm thinking that will be a bug again :cry:

[~Niki~]

Hey! I'm new on Coldplaying.com so hi everyone! I'm a huge Placebo fan. I can't stop listening to BFTS since it came out. It is so much better than Meds!;)

I was lucky enough to see them twice last month, at the Pinkpop festival and at the Cirque Royal in Brussels. The CR gig was awesome. It was really weird to see them play such a tiny venue, especially just after seeing them at a festival. I've already ordered my tickets for Antwerp in December. I'm negociating to go to the Pukkelpop in August too. Seems like I can't get enough of these guys :)

I'm glad to see some people here also like Placebo. I always feel a bit isolated cause not many of my friends like them. :laugh3:

[deaths_friend]

yeah i can relate to that. placebo's music is a world away from coldplay but that doesnt mean its not freken awesome. i cant wait until placebo tour down here they are an amazing band.

Well Brian said himself, that if he could describe his band, is that they are some really addictive drug :uhoh:

same here, not many people seem to like them :\

it'll be really :( if i can't see them in my town in less than 3 weeks :cry:

lucky you that will see them 4 times :dance:

so since how long have you been listening them?
you say, BFTS is better than Meds, so which album / song is your favourite one? :)

[Rad-Cold]

Dream brother! My killer, my lover!

[~Niki~]

Well Brian said himself, that if he could describe his band, is that they are some really addictive drug :uhoh:

same here, not many people seem to like them :\

it'll be really :( if i can't see them in my town in less than 3 weeks :cry:

I have been listening to them for 12 years or so? I mean, they were the craze here when they started cause Brian was born in Belgium, raised in Luxemburg, and the medias here used to describe Placebo as a "local" band getting famous at the time... They were like a national pride, and we don't have that many. Of course, Placebo was in fact everything but a Belgian band, but that's basically how I heard of them first ;) I kept listening to them since then, with ups and downs, alterning periods of fangirlness and periods of disinterest. (As you can tell, I'm in a fangirlness period right now, doing many many of their gigs ;))

My favourite album... I know it's not a real album but the CD I listen to the most is Once More with Feeling lol. Usually,I ain't fond of compilations, but this one is just perfect. And BFTS is not far from becoming my favourite cause I like every single song on it but maybe Battle for the Sun.

Songs... 36 degrees, Special K, Special Needs, Song to say goodbye, the Bitter end, Nancy Boy, there are so many of them actually! :D

And you? How long have u been listening to them and what are your favourites?

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

wow that's great. lucky you :D
so you are from Belgium?
well about from where are they, i've read press said they are britpop, because they were like formed in London... :confused: i can be wrong.

Once More With Feeling is great, right that.

Well, when i first heard of them, back in 1996 or so, i considered very young as to get into a band (i was 9 or 10), .... for what i listened of them back then i liked it.

sincerecely i got more into them like 4 years ago, due to some reasons i won't explain.
when i firstly heard Song to say goodbye i turned to listen them a bit obsessively as to say.

and same i can't choose just a song, it depends on the mood.

I am from Belgium yes :) I think they're 100% british, altho Brian likes to introduce himself as an international character. In Landgraaf he said "we're sons of the Netherlands", 2 days later in Brussels he said "We are sons of Belgium" lol.

I agree with the mood thing, it's probably why I can't get bored of them. They have a song for every state of mind I can be in... They either calm me down when I need it or give me energy when I'm a bit under the weather. :)

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

my bad i missed those two :shame:

two new vids from the last album:
YouTube - Placebo - The Never-Ending Why (Official Video)

YouTube - Placebo - Ashtray Heart (Official Video)

a bit too "psychedelic" for me, i prefer Meds vid... but well..
btw is just my impression, or Never-Ending Why vid is a bit similar to Coldplay's SS (in some parts)?

btw about the concert they did in my city (which i couldn't atted), was so bad, they had technical problems and left the stage on the 6th song (the setlist was meant to be of 19 songs). :(

definitelly i see Nancy is back :uhoh:

[Famous Old Painter]

I hate to say it but both those videos are crap!

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

I hate to say it but both those videos are crap!
yep :disappointed:

[bee_panda]

I feel dizzy watching the first video...:P
Great songs but crappy videos....
Ahh,I heard that Brian is sick??
Hope he gets better soon!

[deaths_friend]

i think they've pretty much had to cancel most of their american tour. the singer from Jet also passed out on stage last week as did steven tyler from aerosmith. the guys from kasabian are down with suspected swine flu and oasis cancelled their v fest performance cos of sickness. and we all know of coldplay calling off a show due to medical reasons. something must be going around.

Those videos are really bad..

[Flow-]

They're still releasing new concerts all over the world and what 'bout Argentina? >_<
Grr, how i wish i had gone to Meds' concert in 2006! D:

Furthermore, I don't like the idea of Bright Lights being the new single, I wanted Kings of Medicine or Breathe Underwater!

I wish i could had seen them in my old city, yet i hope they come here for next year.
hopefully you'll see them too. :)

well i liked Bright Lights, but i'd like they release Kings of Medicine as next single too. :\ May they don't want to, as they already released a single called Meds? :shrug:
they are :disappointed:ing me a bit.

[binaural2002]

I was on the concert in Munich on the 26th November 2009 and so I am very interested in a bootleg! Does anybody know if there is one existing? Would be great!

[Rad-Cold]
