placebo

catspring · 03-12-2002 11:56am #1

just wondering if there are any fellow placebo fans here?
personally, i think they're the best band in the world, but then being a mahusive fan myself i probably would think that.
they have a new single coming out this winter and the new album will be released in the spring - woohoo!!!
anyhoo, i thought that they deserved mentioning here.

Pretty good band.
I've got their 3 albums.
But it's all been downhill since their first.
Probably wouldn't get their next one after the last one.
Really thought it was quite poor.

listen to the cure.placebo but older better more talented in my humble opinion

Placebo are definitely one of my favourite bands - their first album is certainly their best, but the quality didn't dwindle too much in the subsequent releases. Looking forward to the new one!

As for The Cure being "Placebo only better" - they're like Placebo I guess, but Placebo are a good bit more guitar orientated... I'm a bit of a fan of The Cure as well, but I have to say I prefer Placebo.

I'd say that's a rather lazy comparison, but I'd go for the Cure over Placebo any day. I'd say The Cure have more quality albums.

I was just wondering what they've been up to, I haven't got any of their stuff, but know it quite well.

We're perfectly aware of who's saying what, thanks for the pointers anyway!

Not too keen on Black Market Music, but their other two LPs are fantastic.

Repli · 04-12-2002 9:23pm

I liked black market music and without you im nothing.. both good cds.. and 'every you every me' is one of my favourite songs..

"a friend in needs a friend indeed, a friend with weed is better

I love that song off of Black market music. I cant remember the name, some of the lyrics go "sex, drugs, f*cking in the streets, revolution"

.......oh ya.....

spite and malice
it's a cool song, very unlike most of their other stuff, well, the stuff they've released anyhoo

yea amazing band....i thought the bmm was good but nothing on the previous 2....one of my favourite songs of all time is actually a b-side of the bruise pristine single called "and then the clouds will open for me" - bloody amazing song -really hit me - its just molko and an acoustic but every placebo fan should hear it....his voice goes sooo high on that song...great stuff...

Nancy Boy's original test.... MY GLOD! THAT'S A HIGH PITCHED VOICE!

IS THIS THE BOYS THAT DID EVERY ME EVERY YOU?????????/

rubyseyes · 20-12-2002 11:47am

yep! it was their last single off the album "without you i'm nothing"....

"i'm unclean a libertine & every time you vent your spleen
i seem to lose the power of speech
your slipping slowly from my reach
you grow me like an evergreen
you've never seen the lonely me at all

without you i'm nothing
without you i'm nothing at all.....

Placebo = God , is all i can say .

Cant wait for their 4th album actually and in a few months , placebo all over tv (again) and a gig . wooooooooooo

Mewzel · 22-12-2002 9:46pm

hmm.... i really liked their first album, but absolutely loved "without you im nothing" and therefore was deeply dissapointed in "blackmarket music".

bloody good live though

deco · 23-12-2002 7:36pm

I think Black Market Music gets a bad press...

It really isn't as bad as people make it out to be

Placebo · 26-12-2002 9:50pm

BMMs great ! whats wrong with it ! Its brilliant , people just expect placebo to stay the same .

rubyseyes · 27-12-2002 1:28am

it is a very good album probably one of their finest songs (haemeglobin) is on it - thats an amazing powerful song....plus lots of other crackers - but their was something about wyin that got to me more than bmm ...their is a wierd atmosfere on wyin that i love ..sort of like a relationship breakup limbo vibe yanno? plus every single song on it is amazing from pure morning to evil dildo.......

Placebo · 31-12-2002 7:47pm

haemeglobin great , only after a LONG TIME i realised it was about racisim .

Placebo · 21-01-2003 8:11pm

FreaK_BrutheR · 24-01-2003 9:46pm

domeara01 · 29-01-2003 7:07pm

hey they are the only band to write a song about kotomine, that deserves a pat on the back.
SPECIAL K

Placebo · 29-01-2003 10:12pm
