Placebo

[Frakkles]

Was talking about this show: http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/placebo/2010/earth-theatre-thessaloniki-greece-3bd5e07c.html

Just for clarification.

[Sippe]

lol, the people in the comment section are worse than some of the people here.

"Brian Molko wasn't feeling right at the time, & even though, maybe the band didn't play for a long time, but atleast they came, there may have been a fight backstage maybe, Brian did not see any respect in Greek. There was a fight in the audience though, so Brian decided to stop playing.. + they could also be tired! There in a tour! Let them rest! A day before that, they had a concert in Sofia.. So he must have been tired. Show respect and think mature for other people.."

Jesus...

[Max]

That setlist makes no sense. There must be some good reason as to why it was short, because that's pretty out of character for this tour.

EDIT: I'm not making a defence for the band, I'm just saying that it's pretty random to do a shortened show. Part of me wonders if it was beef with the organisers/promoters...and it's not like they hate Greece since they did a full set in Athens the following the night.

I dunno. Confusing.

[Frakkles]

From what I've gathered, Brian got annoyed at something certain fans were doing (I heard there was a fight or something) so he finished the set early. If that's the case, I'm sorry but that's bullshit. There were more than just TWO people there. They suffer because of two people? If that's the case then that's not a very professional way of dealing with things.

I'm not sure if that's the case but the setlist looks like a condensed version of what they'd normally play. If he really did cut it early the setlist would be far, far, far less structured than that.

Is there any audio/video from this gig that gives any hints?

But yeah, Molko is still a diva from time to time.

[Florenceblue]

I've read various reports some saying that it was a problem with a security guard to the fact that the gig was scheduled to finish early. All very confusing.

[Mozza]

Yeah, it's not like they just stopped after 14 songs, they've actually taken stuff out from the usual setlist in earlier places and gone off for an encore. Very weird.

[Mozza]

http://www.placeboworld.co.uk/mynews.php?id=565

Of all the places..........Echoes, Loughborough? :LOL::LOL:

[seregon]

There's a club called Satan's Hollow? :LOL:

[Mozza]

Well Echos list their Loaded night as friday. But there is zero publicity for Placebo, and the band (or their website) say it's tomorrow, but that's cheese night and this is a Placebo event, not a Muse one.

SO CONFUSING!

[Mozza]

Well i'm not going to Echos when I can just stay at home and watch this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONmmg4voiZw

and not get stuck to the floor or have my clothes wrecked

[Davey25]

going to brixton on my own tomorrow :(

[Davey25]

OMG.

I just (finally) got a ticket for tomorrow :D

[Mozza]

It's tomorrow! :D

Still really gutted I missed their arena tour. Fucking Muse

[Florenceblue]

Have a great time! I sooooo wished that I could go to one of these gigs but just can't because of commitments here. Not sure if I can wait the 2 years before any more gigs. Enjoy!

[Ross]

Want. To. Gooooooo :'(

[sparkle19]

oh WHAT more tickets?!?! :supersad: sigh. If I was employed.....

[Max]

Last minute spare for tonight available. Reply asap if interested.

[Max]

That was pretty good. Better than the O2 show. Setlist was the standard for the tour. I have a bag full of confetti and a balloon with 'DEATH AND FEAR' emblazoned on it.

That's all you need to know really.

Sorry that I had to run asap guys. After the train palava I experienced on Thursday I didn't want to take my chances. Nice seeing you all though.

[Florenceblue]

I've read some other reviews and people sound very enthusiastic. Shame about the problem with the O2 priority...unfair to the real fans. Also frustrating to have to remain seated in the circle! People seemed to do pretty well with wristbands and freebies if they turned up in clown fancy-dress. Lucky people heading along tonight...

[Mozza]

That encore was amazing.

[seregon]

That encore was amazing.

.+1 the encore made the show for me. Apart from that guy grinding me during taste in men :(

[Max]

Taste In Men is always good for Stefan's "I'm Going To Stand Here By The Amp Like A Nightclub Bouncer for A Few Minutes Pose". :LOL:

[crazybobbles]

mmmm it's not taste in men without men grinding on you! mmm slide bassssssssssss

[Cydoniababy]

mmmm it's not taste in men without men grinding on you! mmm slide bassssssssssss
:LOL:

I want to see them again :supersad:

[Frakkles]

Went past the Academy on my way home from college about an hour or so ago.

There were around 300 people there already. :LOL:

[Davey25]

last night was pretty awesome. might go to more gigs by myself now. saves having to look out for people and waiting around by the cloakroom for 45 minutes again

[Evilduck]

Last night was epic, although I would have loved the inclusion of Scared Of Girls. Fingers crossed for tonight!

[Ross]

So, so glad I bit the bullet and just went down for this. All apologies <3

[seregon]

Taste In Men is always good for Stefan's "I'm Going To Stand Here By The Amp Like A Nightclub Bouncer for A Few Minutes Pose". :LOL:

Stefan phwoar. I can definitely see the attraction there, found myself staring at him a bit too much!

mmmm it's not taste in men without men grinding on you! mmm slide bassssssssssss

Sweat overload though :(

[halo eighteen]

I was SHOCKED to see at my doorstep today the Battle for the Sun REDUX edition... wow that's some fast shipping. I'm only 3 songs in but I LOVE the bonus disc so far. LOVE.

[Mozza]

Same setlist for the DVD then? I'll take that, it had it's moments of brilliance :happy:

[CrazyPenguin0]

Love them :D, but I really wish that they would come to the US..

[hugenkiss]

Hi everyone, I'm hoping you can help me out. I have only recently started listening to Placebo and I really like them. However, I have only listened to the "artist radio" on my MOG account and haven't purchased anything yet. What albums do you suggest I start with, i.e. Meds or Sleeping with Ghosts? OR should I just purchase some songs individually from each album if each one has some 'must-haves'? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[xhysteriax]

Never used to listen to Placebo until recently....then I was digging in old stacks of promo materials I had shoved under the bed and found 2 old fully autographed posters from a festival I went to a long time ago. I was like "oh...sweet." lol

[Melania13]

I only know two songs, Infra-Red and Space Monkey. I love love love Infra-Red and enjoy SM... what are some similar songs? Or really good ones?

[halo eighteen]

They have a variety of styles honestly, but these are definitely among my favourite cebo tracks:

Taste In Men... One of a Kind... Kitty Litter... I'll Be Yours... Trigger Happy Hands... Lady of the Flowers... Sleeping with Ghosts... Bulletproof Cupid... I Know... Meds... Julien... My Sweet Prince... Happy You're Gone... Scared of Girls... Post Blue... Fuck U...

I could list more but I'll stop now... I tried to stay away from obvious singles, they do have a singles compilation for sale which is a good way to get into the band but they only scratch the surface.

[Mozza]

The Bitter End and Every You, Every Me are probably the 'best' singles to check out.

[Melania13]

Oo nice!

:happy: thanks

[Beibi]

Same setlist for the DVD then? I'll take that, it had it's moments of brilliance :happy:

You aren't complaining about Placebo playing the same exact setlist every night :eek: :p

It seems the have cancelled (again) all their gigs here in Spain because Brian is ill, don't know if this is going to affect other dates :(

[fizzers]

They still haven't come to America!!!! :(

I would say to start with their best of "Once More With Feeling", see which tracks you like most and then go for the respective albums. All their albums are a bit different and I've never seen anyone really agree on what their best is :LOL:

[hugenkiss]

thanks everyone for the suggestions. have a good day :)

[Davey25]

They still haven't come to America!!!! :(

ever?

[Max]

ever?

They were meant to tour last year but the dates were cancelled because of Brian's exhaustion.

[halo eighteen]

ever?

Battle for the Sun is the only album that they didn't tour here. Like Max said, they were supposed to last year, but it got "postponed" - pretty sure they won't be back until the next album now.

But they're still a relatively unknown act here. The American tours have been very short and in small clubs and theatres since even the early days. They did get a stint on Linkin Park's Projekt Revolution tour a few years back. I think that helped a little bit to get them better known, but it's hard to maintain that without any kind of timely follow-up.

Muse used to be the same exact way here for many years, but they did some extensive touring (including high profile support slots), and their record label has really pushed them into the mainstream with promotions and exposure. That's really how you have to make it here, but Brian really does seem quite unwilling to do any of those things.

*edit - And that's not a swipe at him at all - he shouldn't be forced into doing anything he doesn't want; I actually got the sense that the band used to love coming here and almost being a "new band" every time. But they should be HUGE here, just like everywhere else in the world. It's not really fair how this country works.

Well they were huge in the UK in the late 90s and then Brian didn't play the media game so they all turned on him and ridiculed the band so I really don't think he's that bothered. Obviously a shame for any US fans that want to see them but I really can't see Placebo doing what Muse did.

[halo eighteen]

I just think it's a shame because I truly think they are making the best work of their career (BFTS is quite possibly the best Placebo album..?) and it seems to be falling on deaf ears. I wish good music could just be taken at face value here and bands didn't have to play into the corporate mind control games the media plays. It's appalling and if it turns Brian off, I don't blame him one bit.

Indeed. I think it's at least their second best if not best, but it's had relatively little exposure even over here. Seemed Placebo's popularity dipped in the mainstream so much around the Black Market Music/Sleeping With Ghosts era.

I had the tickets, then they canceled. :(:(

Bwahaha. I did do a bit of a mission that night, to be fair. Started off down the front with everyone, then I went down the far left right by the barrier, then to the sound desk with Bob for a bit when the setlist got a little boring, then to the balcony on the right, and then back down into the pit when it got good again :LOL:

I deflated mine. still in the bag with the ticket.

I love Placebo, I've been a fan since I was a kid.

Was at the Brixton gigs and afterparty! Stefan was so lovely :3

[coralucky]

I really like them!

[Evilduck]

The rest of the tour has been cancelled due to Brian's health. :( I hope it's nothing too serious.

[Davey25]

listening to the instrumental versions of placebo songs. nice background music when doing work without the temptation of singing along

they said he's just resting and recovering atm and they are coming back to tour in 2012 for the new album.

also is anyone here a member on pfww (placebo fans worldwife) forum? really hoping it opens up again soon..a whole two weeks of changing the site over to placeboworld..its driving me insane!

[iamawesome]

Ugh I half lived there, it's difficult to adjust to it being down :LOL: What's your username over there? I'm harmonicemotion

oh i know you, i recognise you from ur avi on here thats ur sig on pfww

and im luxembourgerqueen idk whether u know me
but yeah im so missing it...when do u reckon it'll be back

[Evilduck]

I browse PFWW every now and then, my user name is the same as here. I used to be more active on the big Placebo forums back in 2003/04, but most of the fans I used to know have disappeared from the interwebs. Feels weird with all the new faces now.

[hug bubble]

I'm Trapped In Amber on the forums. sort of a newbie, but I already feel like its my home.
wow its a small world isn't it...

[harrypottermegan]

for anyone that cares placebo's forum is back up - placebo fans worldwide
now it is the official forum of placeboworld

here's the link: http://forum.placeboworld.co.uk/forum/index.php

[hug bubble]

^ spamming much?
and yay pfww is back.
but they told us not to post or something for a while

[harrypottermegan]

but they told us not to post or something for a while
yeah i saw that this morning. something about needing to tweek some problems with the forum

just when i think it's back they tell us to get off again...*sigh*
oh well at least i've got this forum to occupy me

[hug bubble]

...how could you spell tweak wrong? seriously?
lol.
on topic: I wish Brian gets better soon, I keep thinking about him all sick in bed, poor thing.

[harrypottermegan]

^ oh i didnt realise i spelt tweak wrong. it was in the morning and i'd just woken up...so i'll blame that

i'm sure brian is fine, just resting up and stuff. i guess he's getting older and touring around the world would be very stressful
i watched this documentary on youtube last night called "a new tomorrow" it was about their asian tour this year, and brian narrated the whole thing. then he said how he has a fear of flying and how its always stressful to travel for tours because of that and the demanding schedule etc so i guess a combination of all that would make him sick.
it'd be good if the website released some news about how he's going. wonder if he saw the pfww get well slideshow

[Hebetude]

I'm totally late to the game, but I just want to say that I adore the Angkor Wat recordings.

[Muse are terrible]

I think Placebo suck the big hairy one.

They probably do you know.

[fizzers]

I've been listening to hang on to your IQ alllllll dayyyyyyyy....

I love this song. Pefect song to listen to depressed drunk.

Placebo needs to come to seattle. THey canceled last year... I ws so exciteddd!

[TwistedKaraoke]

I spy fellow pfww members :D (Amber and Megan? Is that youuu?)

Aww, I love them so much. I wish I could have seen them live this tour.

my CD rack is full and I threw out all my shoe boxes a few weeks ago, fml. The perfect excuse to buy new chucks.

And damn, I lost my WYIN cd and now I can't find it in stores. All I can find is Once More With Feeling. Thank god for online shopping.

About all sorts really! He asked me how to spell "balcony" Hmm.

I had to ask when they are going back to studio (not until next year, pahh) and we talked about tattoos and music and mobiles and that. He was generally very, very nice and friendly. Apparantly while Placebo are off now he works as a tattoo artist somewhere in Shepherds Bush. So he might frequent in that area, really...

I'm just really lucky with this stuff it seems. I just stumble into stuff :D

Well, I am sort of planning to get my first tattoo, he thought my idea was original and good... Though he was saying that if I want to get it in the front of my shoulder it kinda looks like there needs to be ones on both sides, or I could just put it on the side of my shoulder... It's quite good, I was planning to go to a tattooist to have a question session but he actually replied to lots of mine! That's when he said I should come to the place where he works as the other guys are talented too and you would want to get a skillful artist- after all, it stays there forever!

[hyperactivebliss]

Gosh, now I want to get a tattoo done by him :chuckle:

[hug bubble]

wouldn't it be so cheesy, if you went to get a tattoo of the Placebo wings done by him :chuckle:
and "balcony", eh? *cough*

On a total Placebo binge atm. Pretty gutted I missed out on seeing them twice last tour

They'll be back next year :happy:
Well that's when they're starting to record, so the album will probably be released mid to late 2012 and then touring around the same time.

Can't wait to see them live myself, they're my favourite band - never seen them live yet

I actually quite like Meds. First album I got by them. I really like all the tracks excpet for Drag, which i a but of a drag (hurr hurr lame pun) and the cold light of morning.

Battle Of The Sun I like too, especially the title track, but I find Ashtray heart quite annoying, and I never really listen to Happy You're Gone or Come Undone either

[Clunge]

BFTS is easily their best album to date, imho.

It's consistently good, unlike every one of Placebo's earlier efforts.

[Vile]

Could never grasp onto Brian's voice...bought Meds to give them another chance and nope :erm:

Eh, his voice is something you just gradually get used to. Like death growls and grunts.

[miss_meadows]

Really? I do like BFTS (much better than Meds which I didn't like at all) but I still prefer WYIN and SWG. I'd say, WYIN is still my favourite Placebo album.

And ITA with deadstar, I really dislike Ashtray heart, too. Don't know, too repetitive maybe.

[harrypottermegan]

:LOL: why did he ask you to spell balcony?

:eek: I didn't know he works as a tattoo artist... I would love to have a tattoo by him :p.
Your very lucky! :happy:



:dance: WOOO!!! New album! :awesome:
Which means a tour :p

They are my favourite too and i am in the same situation I haven't seen them live yet :supersad:
You're hypersteph on PFWW, right? I'm luxembourgerqueen/Megan

Also, wow everyone loves BFTS here? It's a great album but my least favourite. Love all the albums but WYIN and BMM are my absolute favourites <3.

I can understand people not liking Brian's voice but it's one of the things that I love most about Placebo. Also if people don't like Brian's voice I don't think BFTS would be a good album to start on (as someone suggested) because his voice is really overbalanced in a lot of the BFTS, sounding too loud compared to the instruments. Compare the BFTS album to the live versions of the songs and they're a lot better. Well imo.
Also I'm not saying BFTS is bad, really it's amazing but I place the other albums higher.

[Dominic.]

According to itunes and last.fm Haemoglobin is my 3rd most played song :LOL:

:yesey: Tis me indeedy. :happy:

I agree it's my least favourite.
My favourite album changes daily... Today it's WYIN :happy:

I think Brian's voice is like marmite. You either love it or hate it... (I personally hate marmite but I love Brian's voice)...

I love BFTS album but I think it is very different from their previous albums... And personally their other albums are better than BFTS.
I am rather excited how they will sound on their next album :happy:.

The first album which I started on was Placebo. :happy:
My first song which I heard was Pure Morning from Kerrang and I was around 11 years old which was amazingly 7 years ago :eek:... (Well that has surprised me...)

[CottonCandy]

:LOL: why did he ask you to spell balcony?

:eek: I didn't know he works as a tattoo artist... I would love to have a tattoo by him :p.
Your very lucky! :happy:



I know, I am :D I just seem to have an amazing luck with my favourite bands! Yeah, he was writing a text to his mate to meet him at the balcony and apparantly didn't know how to spell it :LOL:

Could never grasp onto Brian's voice...bought Meds to give them another chance and nope :erm:

Meds really, really isn't their best album.

I much prefer Battle for the Sun, it's much more brighter album, you can tell that the change of drummer really helped them!

Can you share some of that luck? :p

I agree with that! Steve has made them much more happier as a band. He is truly their sunshine! :happy:
I love the brightness of the album. It makes it different and unique.

[drawakangaroo]

I've only been a fan for a couple months, and I've only heard Meds, SWG, and WYIN, until last night. I bought BFTS a couple weeks ago, but never got around to listening to it because a bunch of people said it was shit. But after reading the last page or so here, I decided to give it a chance, and it really is a brilliant album :D So thanks guys!

[harrypottermegan]

BFTS is an amazing album, I just prefer their drug fulled, depressive, raw sound from earlier albums. But of course it's good that they're off the drugs now and if they just kept making the same type of album they would've gotten boring, so I like that they change it up for each album. But really my favourite album depends on what mood I'm in and Placebo can offer me all types of music to enjoy.

About Brian's voice...I started out hating it and hating the band in general, but gradually I got used to it and fell in love with his voice, it's not something that you like straightaway. Well that's what happened to me at least...

:happy: Your welcome! And tbh you should still give things a try even if people have said it is great or not. I remember watching Cloverfield and thinking it would be great from all the good reviews but it turned out rubbish. Only watched it once and I will never watch it again.
Sometimes you just have to go against people's opinions and try things yourself :happy:.

I am still very glad they are all off drugs now. Placebo are a huge variety in music I think. BTFS is rather happy whereas the past albums are depressive and drug and sex related.

I liked his voice straight away... :stunned:
I feel like the odd one out :p

[harrypottermegan]

Happy Placebo Day everyone! (May 2nd)
If you don't know what I'm talking about:
"Placebo Day" is the unofficial holiday for fans of the rock band Placebo, held annually on 2 May. Its origin lies in a lyric from the band's song "The Bitter End": "We're running out of alibis/On the second of May."
The original group to have started this holiday seems to be the LiveJournal Placebo fan group "placebowhores" (placebowhores.livejournal.com) although it may have originated elsewhere.

Make sure you add some Placebo goodness to your day :D

[hug bubble]

I liked his voice straight away... :stunned:
I feel like the odd one out :p

You're not :p I was 5 when I first heard his voice, but I liked it :LOL:

Happy Placebo Day everyone <3

[harrypottermegan]

Just a heads up to German/European fans, Placebo will be performing a festival open air concert with 30STM on August 11 and tickets are only €15.
It's their only festival show of the year, so it'll be worth going to. Details here:
http://www.placeboworld.co.uk/mynews.php?id=576

[Max]

Don't tell anyone, but.... PLACEBO will be playing a very special and intimate 'warm-up' show in preparation for the appearance at Stuttgart.

We will announce the location and where you can buy tickets at Midday GMT (13:00 CET) tomorrow, here on the facebook page!

Tickets will be VERY limited, so you will need to be quick.

From their Facebook.

[Davey25]

From their Facebook.

London? Please god let it be in London

[Dominic.]

London? Please god let it be in London

If it is then I'd fucking run there, so badly want to see Placebo, but from that post and them posting the time in CET I imagine it's not gonna be in England

[Max]

Naaah it'll be London. GMT is not in brackets but CET is. I guess they're accounting for crazy European fans wanting to go.

[Dominic.]

Naaah it'll be London. GMT is not in brackets but CET is. I guess they're accounting for crazy European fans wanting to go.

Really?

I am so desperate to go to a Placebo gig, and I know I'm probably gonna miss out on tickets. Couple of months ago I missed out on getting tickets to a gig with a very limited supply of tickets :(

[Davey25]

Wait so is it at Noon or 1pm tomorrow for us in UK?

[Ross]

tempting. but i probably (almost definitely) can't justify it

[Dominic.]

Wait so is it at Noon or 1pm tomorrow for us in UK?

Just realised what a funny word noon is...

And I'm probably gonna check at both times just to be safe

[Max]

Wait so is it at Noon or 1pm tomorrow for us in UK?

1pm. BST is an hour ahead. Might be worth double checking just to be sure they haven't made a cock up though.

[Davey25]

1pm. BST is an hour ahead. Might be worth double checking just to be sure they haven't made a cock up though.

I swear it's 12 for UK

''Midday GMT''

greenwich mean time

[dip]

it won't be london.

[Davey25]

it won't be london.

Paris, London or a club in Stuttgart?
What makes you think it won't be London?

[harrypottermegan]

It's not in London, apparently it's in Berlin.
The other week at a show for Steve Forrest's band he was talking about it with some members from Placebo's forum and they brought up about the Stuttgart show and he mentioned that they'd be playing a warm up gig in Berlin.

[harrypottermegan]

From Placebo's Facebook page:
ticket links for the warm-up show will be here in 30 mins...

[Dominic.]

They're laaaate

[harrypottermegan]

Yeah they're always late with this kind of stuff.
Their last major announcement was delayed by 3 hours because they forgot to set a video from private to public view. :LOL:
We could be waiting a while....

edit: More Facebook:
Slight delay from the ticket company...it's coming...

From PFWW:
it's gonna be Berlin, Huxley's on the 9th of august.

[Dominic.]

Berlin :(

Don't you hate it when Harrypottermegan is right

[harrypottermegan]

Yeah sorry to burst your bubble....:(

Details:
Placebo will be playing a warm-up show on the 9th August at Huxleys Neue Welt in Berlin, Germany.

The show is in preparation for their sold out appearance at the ‘125th Anniversary of Mercedes’ show in Stuttgart on the 11th August.

VERY LIMITED tickets are available for the show here:
http://www.eventim.de/tickets.​html?fun=erdetail&affiliate=vu​c&doc=erdetaila&erid=619050
The tickets are €42

[Luxemburger Queen]

€42, christ :erm:

[Iddy]

Fuck sakes, why am I not in Berlin.

[Max]

To be honest, it would have been too pricey if it was in London anyway by the looks of thing.

Aaaaah well.

[harrypottermegan]

They said after their Brixton shows last year that they wouldn't play in the UK until 2012. So the chances of it being in London in the first place were pretty slim.

[Davey25]

Oh well. Guess I could do with saving money anyway

Why oh why has this not been mentioned?

New live album

[ava]

cause nobody checks the site, cause it's always behind, I guess
but I had no idea about this, thnx for keeping us up to date :happy:

[sebby aka pup]

Oh nice, didn't know about the new dvd. Looks awesome!
And there a Blu-Ray version!!!

[harrypottermegan]

Over at Placebo's forum we've been speculating about this DVD for ages. Glad to finally see it eventuating. All the bonus stuff sounds awesome. :happy: And the concert will be cool to see as well.

Trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38egET2wFJ4&feature=feedu

[Rmk824]

I like em! I haven't listened to a full album yet... what's a good one to start with?

[harrypottermegan]

I like em! I haven't listened to a full album yet... what's a good one to start with?
Probably Sleeping With Ghosts. It's not the best one, but it's pretty accesible and has a nice range of songs on it to start off with.

[sebby aka pup]

Sleeping with Ghosts is awesome, probably my favourite one by them.
Battle for the Sun is also a pretty good album to try out

[harrypottermegan]

The first three albums are the best imo. But probably not the best to start off with.
SWG seems to have the closest blend of styles of all the albums.

[Evilduck]

So excited about the dvd! Both Brixton gigs were amazing.

[Maximum Kaoss]

Placebo is one of my favourite bands :) New Placebo >>>>> New Muse

[harrypottermegan]

You can watch a sneak peak of the DVD here as well as an interview with Steve about the documentary, that will feature him having a breakdown apparently:
http://www.nme.com/news/placebo--2/59485

Also people that preordered the DVD can get the 3 bonus download tracks now.

[Dominic.]

Placebo are one of the bands I really want to see now, along with Radiohead and Biffy (although I have seen Biffy as supports twice)

[harrypottermegan]

Thanx for sharing this!;)
He's kind of a talker, isn't he?!:D
At least, he takes his time to answer properly and he's interesting listening to!:happy:

[harrypottermegan]

Yeah Steve's a cool guy.
He's really taken on the English accent a lot by the sounds of that video. It's become a strange mix between an American and English accent....soon he'll have a weird combo like Brian :LOL: (Scottish, American, English, Luxembourgerian, Belgian etc).

I need to get the DVD sometime, especially for the documentary, they always have really interesting documentaries.

[Evilduck]

Yeh I noticed his accent in the dvd doc, he's taken on Brian's weird American/English mix.

[Luxemburger Queen]

"not that it's not lovely, it's just very weird" :LOL:

[harrypottermegan]

They'll be going back into the studio in early 2012 to record the next album. :happy:
http://www.nme.com/news/placebo--2/60553

[Iddy]

Excellent! Think BFTS had unfair criticism myself.

[Luxemburger Queen]

BFTS is amaze

[Dominic.]

Not too keen on Ashtray Heart or Bright Lights, they're ok, but not songs I'd wanna actually listen to. Only in the context of the album

[Luxemburger Queen]

the bit they added to bright lights.. :LOL: :LOL:

[sebby aka pup]

Battle for the Sun is now one of my favourite albums by Placebo.
Kings of Medicine is one of the best songs they've ever done. And Speak in Tongues and Julien are also brilliant.

10 pounds fees and postage? ridiculous :noey: Could someone tell me how big/small this venue is so I can decide if it's worth the money? :chuckle:

[sebby aka pup]

Not the kind of big surprise I was hoping for, but it's definitely good that they're playing at least 1 show this year.

And yes it's worth the money. 35 pounds + 10 pounds booking fees is sooo cheap (at least for shows down under), it's really not fair. We'd pay almost double that...

[Luxemburger Queen]

It's not cheap considering I don't have an income.

[Evilduck]

It's 2000 capacity, so pretty small for Placebo. I usually mentally add £10 onto a ticket price to cover booking fees and postage anyways.

Got three standing tickets, so excited! It will be my 20th Placebo gig :happy:

Nobody I know wants to go so looks like I'll have to see them on my own again.
So it's £45 a ticket?

[scifigeekgirl]

Have got tix for this! So far it's my most looked-forward-to gig this year. Can't believe I'll see them in such a "tiny" place. Ridiculously psyched :D

I MIGHT have a spare ticket going for the London gig, my mate who was meant to be coming may be going to Switzerland in April, so if you're interested PM me and I'll let you know for sure ASAP

[scifigeekgirl]

Argh

Had major panic last week. Got convinced I'd lost my tix. Swore I'd seem them SOMEWHERE. Looked on all my bookshelves, rummaged through the mountain of filing...couldn't find them anywhere. Most upset. Rang up seetickets to find out what I could do to replace them.

They said Placebo ones hadn't been sent out yet. Oh dear. :$:rolleyes::facepalm:

Never have I been so happy NOT to have been sent tix!!:LOL:

I was like oh shit mine haven't come yet. I'll probably miss the support band as I'm at Chelsea that day. Really hope they don't make it a late kick off

[Davey25]

Wahey it's 1.30 kick off. Any idea who the support act is?

[einafets]

I missed seeing them in Germany when they were there last time but now I got tickets for Helsinki in September :awesome: :dance:

Had a "I don't believe it!" moment on the radio yesterday eve: Placebo covering a Nik Kershaw track Wouldn't It Be Good. :eek: Never thought I'd hear that covered by anyone, let alone Brian & co. My mind was quite boggled!

(For those who don't know: NK was a dinky synth popstar in the 80s...)

Shields are supporting apparently

Got any suggestions for songs/albums of their's I should check out?

Thanks. :)

[Jazzthief]

I also got into Placebo yesterday and I'm really impressed with the band. Molko's voice is amazing! I'm listening through their discography and so far I can say that I'm really damn impressed with "Without You I'm Nothing" (song). It reminds me of "Showbiz" (song) which is my favorite Muse song. Really liking their music and I'm turning into a massive fan already. Thanks Sippe!

[Sippe]

Wait, me? Can't even remember telling you about them :LOL:

[Jazzthief]

Wait, me? Can't even remember telling you about them :LOL:

You haven't but I was browsing your Youtube channel after watching Matt's vocal range video and took a look at Brian Molko's vocal range vid and I quite started to like what I was hearing so I checked them out :D. I think that next I'm gonna look thorugh "Amazing voices in Alt rock" :D

[Sippe]

Oh, nice!

[Jazzthief]

Does anyone know on which album or single was the song "First Day" featured on?

Isn't that basically the same setlist they've been hawking for ages? :erm:.

I mean, it's good n'all, but they've had ages of time off from touring - at least mix it up a bit.

Off to see Placebo tonight in Liverpool :)

Isn't that basically the same setlist they've been hawking for ages? :erm:.

I mean, it's good n'all, but they've had ages of time off from touring - at least mix it up a bit.It was pretty much the brixton setlist with a few tweaks. In saying that, It's not outside the realms of possibilty thay they had to change stuff up halfway through since brian fucked one of his pedals (His delay I think) after Soulmates. I suppose the acid test is the Liverpool and London setlists

What an amazing intimate gig :)

Oh man. Are they doing a proper tour later this year? Placebo are one of those bands I am determined to see

[Clunge]

I'd still love to see them too and now would be a damn good time as BFTS is easily my favourite Placebo album to date.

It's pretty much flawless in fairness

BFTS is my favourite album as well. Only album I can listen all the way through without skipping a song.

Excited about tonight. If anyone here is going and see's a short weird looking person..come and say hi to me because i'm going by myself

Ooh spooky coincidence - Nancy Boy coming on the radio as I'm in this thread. Looking forward to tonight - (1) I've never seen Brian&co, and (2) I have been stuck inside all week coz my little girl got chicken pox - so am stir crazy!

That doesn't really help, you know ;) you'll have to narrow it down a bit more than that... Will give a general wave from upstairs tho :p
