Anyone knows what documentary is this footage from? :confused:

I feel dirty for knowing who Brian Molko is.

what's a "brian molko"?

A rare, yet very dangerous disease. A fellow poster with the nickname "Keeping it Simple" seems to be showing the symptoms.

if he likes sonik tooth, I'm not anymore. sorry guys. spend really good time with you here. take care.

dowidzenia

here is a Molko Orgasm for you all pervs to enjoy.

What's up with the cowboy hat in the orgasm video?

Placebo's fan cub was called Silver Rocket.

Placebo was originally called ashtray heart, after the Beefheart classic.

Placebo have like 3 really, truly great albums.

It was on channel four about 8 years ago. It was around the time of A Thousand Leaves. It was part of a series on 'living legends', possibly called 'channel four introduces...'. There was one on Neil Young and that sort of fair. Although, having said that, ATL was released a few years before. Regardless, I'm pretty sure I was about 19 at the time, so 8-ish years ago.

Interesting story, I posted on a message board to see if anyone had taped it, as I was down the pub the night it was on. A girl replied who I later 'did the thing' with, and she's one of my best mates to this day (and would probably be mortified if she knew I was saying this).

Placebo got me into SY, as it happens. I stopped listening around the time of their second album, and stopped buying the albums around the 4th, but they'll always have a special place in my heart (what a gayer).

placebo, haha!

I have to admit that too. i remember a press shot of Molko in a dingy looking toilet with the names of about 8 artists that he loved written behind on the wall in marker. PJ Harvey Patti Smith and Sonic Youth are the ones I can remember as being there

Placebo also have a song named Ashtray Heart on their new album but it's not a cover and there's no way I'm going to listen to anything recent by Placebo.

Their first album RULES though, honestly the guitars are Goo-era Sonic Youth tenfold.

Self-titled, without you I'm nothing, and sleeping with ghosts are great. Always great guitar tones and usually great guitar riffs. Actually, they'd be a supergreat band if the lyrics weren't so distractingly bad.

It seems most of the people who genuinely hate Placebo are from England, whereas in America people either like them or have never really heard of them. Same thing goes for Therapy?...

Anyway, I like a handful of Placebo songs, and love Therapy?

But why does it bother certain people if a mainstream band names an underground/indie band as an influence or simply dares to say they like them?

Oh, and he's wrong about SY never having recorded a song in standard. Mildred Pierce is in standard.

ohhhhhh, placebo!

their kate bush cover sucks.

Wasn't the self titled ep in standard, too?

It might be because they get reallly overplayed there in Europe. Well I can't speak for England but in France, whenever they release an album you can't tune on a radio or TV without hearing one of their songs. Well, I don't listen to the radio anymore, but I remember when Song To Say Goodbye was released, I even kind of liked it at first, but then I heard it so much (I did not listen to the radio at the time either but you could not go in a shop or something without hearing it!) that I came to really hate it.

What have Therapy? got to do with anything though? I've never seen anyone hate them and usually no one has heard of them... how many people have heard a band with a small moderate hit in the 90s and then just complete subterranean releases there after?

Anyway, it seems most of the hate for Placebo is people who only are familiar with their newer work (which is common among people my age, my girlfriend thought they had only been around for the past few years!) or are sick of them because their fanbase consists of 13 year old goth girls... but they are good!

Couldn't agree more, Molko's lyrics are absofuckinlutely retarded. That plus his voice is SO annoying.

I agree with the first 3-4 albums being good... but, wow, when I tried to listen to the more recent stuff (especially the last album with that WAY out of place new drummer)... ugh. Painful.

Now the music is as cringe-inducing as some of the lyrics...

Therapy? are fucking great. Placebo are beyond appalling.
Glad I could set that straight for you all.

Therapy? great, placebo first three albums great and hotwire my heart was recorded in standard too!

his voice has stopped me from listening.

I can see the 13 yr old love fest easily

their gigs were great if you were skinny and pale with long black hair. the only time in my teenage years that I got female attention

Nothing, I guess. I've just been listening to them a lot recently and they came to mind. And I remember some time back I asked this board if anyone liked Therapy? and a lot of people said they were horrible...

Granted, this was around the time High Anxiety had come out...

pozdrowienia moj slovacki przyjacielu

Oh Shit!!! So many haters. I expected a little bit more from this forum.
On other note, does anybody have this on video? an would be glad to post?

If it's been on the radio more than a couple times a year after 1996, expect some hate from here.

Yeah, he sounds like donald duck on helium, for god's sake!

I'm American, have heard of them, and don't like em one bit.

I never heard of them before this thread I tried to listen and his voice drove
me away faster than a husian bolt
