Limerick Dude

anyone else like this band? i think they are brilliant and are my favourite band. I have all their albums, i think there just awesome tbh. alot of people i talk to say they like them and only know songs like 'nancy boy' or 'every you every me', anyone like them as much as i do? they got a new album out next month, i cant bloody wait!!!!

merlinsmerryman

Yeah I've been getting into them in a big way in the last month or so. Really good band imo. Also heard new album, through a friend in the music industry it's really good. Hopefully a tour will follow release of new album would like to see them live.

gary the great

My fav band to, ive been into them since Nacy boy in 1996, and have seen them live 5 times:p , new album is quality (proby my fav with BMM).

Altogether a great band and if you get to see them in the Olympia it was will be one of the best gigs you will ever see.

Placebo

big fan too, only since 1999.
BUT heard the upcoming 2 singles and they sound awful, they should have stopped at SWG at their peak, cant believe they didnt show face at ireland during the SWG tour, well put me off

Limerick Dude

ive ehard because i want you off the new album and i liek it very much, i could download the new album but i dont want to id rather wait for the release. i have really gotten into placebo in the past year, i would love to see them live! what are yer favourite placebo songs?! i have loads! ' i know' and 'special k' are brilliant!

dead air

I like Placebo, can't wait to see them live again. But their new single is just pure crap though. Very disapointing.

Limerick Dude

yeah i hope they come to ireland this year, they are playing concerts all around the uk this year so hopfully they will announce in ireland!!!!!

gary the great

Because I want you is by far the worst song on the album, although a song to say goodbye is quite good imho.

Fav songs are Black eyed, Days before you came, this picture, Bitter end and about 8 songs off the new album!!

ferdi

love the first album

Tiriel

yeah really like em, haven't listened to them in ages though! Saw them in Slane, really good, that's a good bit ago though!! 1999.. :v:

gary the great

Placebo

like there was nancyboy, bruispristine, 36 degrees, teenage angst
pure morning, brick****house, scared of girls, wyin
Taste in men [absolutley brilliant], special k, days before you came, spite and mallice, haemoglobin,
Then Bitter end, plasticine, special needsm swg, english summer rain,

all classics, these recent 2 singles i heard were dissapointing, theve gone for a long time, album BETTER be worth it.

edit: just seen the video, wow, not bad. change of mind on the way, Any idea when the release of the album is ?

well heres my opinion on black market music

Taste In Men - its ok
Days Before You Came - yes a good song
Special K- unbelivable, has to be one of their best!!!
Spite & Malice- very very diffrent from the rest of their songs, still quite good
Passive Aggressive- nice and mellow in a way, good.
Black Eyed - yeah its ok
Blue American - yes very soft and i really like it
Slave To The Wage - not my cup of tea
Commercial For Levi - yes yes good stuff!
Haemoglobin - absolutely love this song cannot believe it wasnt on the greatest hits
Narcoleptic- nice and soft but not as good as blue american or passive agressive
Peeping Tom - nice and long and not a bad song

black market isnt their best album but its still not bad!

their first album and sleeping with ghost are my fav. albums!
thing is on every album there are some class tracks so oits hard to pick my favourite!

senordingdong

Very good band.

Couldn't listen to them for too long mind.

black market music is the strongest album by far after WYIN.
Just downloaded MEDS, nothings too catchy, bit repetitive, not impressed really.

Been a Placebo fan from the start and they have never failed me. They are an absoloutely brilliant band and exceptionally original. I've seeb them every time theyve played over here. Have to admit I was also a bit pissed off when they didnt come over during the SWG tour but the new album(which is f*cking brilliant) is on its way soon and they better bloody come over here!

Jim_Are_Great

Anything behind the rumors I hear of them supporting Radiohead soonish?

merlinsmerryman

Man I'm sitting here after a heavy night out and I'm listening to Black Market Music and my haedache is going away it's fantastic.

Ye this is never going to happen there far to big to be a support act! Even if it is radiohead.

Except maybe GWAR followed by more GWAR!

Nothing Else Matters and to a slightly lesser extent Sleeping with Ghosts are a step above everything else they made really.There debut was good but really there music took a real shape on NEM(Pure Morning,Crawl and Every You Every Me are mind blowing).BMM was a bit hit and miss,some really weak tracks on there.Again Haemoglobin :eek:

New single wasn't up too much though.

gary the great

New album out 2day what does everyone think?

I think its the best yet!

peepsbates

anyone like their cover of runnin up that hill(kate bush)? i think its .

brucecambell

got the new album - some good tracks - really like "infra-red", "drag" and especially the last one - "a song to say goodbye"-probably one of their best songs yet

Listened to their album online a few days ago and was surprised how great it sounds.
