Brian Molko, Stefan Olsdal and Steve Hewitt. Placebo. An American, a swede and an englishman. A bisexual, a homosexual and a heterosexual. These three men crashed into the world of rock and haven't looked back since... Meeting by chance in a London tube station, old classmates Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal got talking and Brian, noticing that Stefan had a guitar strapped to his back, invited him to come and watch him sing and play guitar... The two guys hadn't been friends at the school they went to in luxembourg, Brian had been unpopular- preferring drama to sport- and Stefan was a star player on the basketball team... But by the end of that evening stefan came up to brian and said 'lets start a band'. This is quite incredible as brian says that in the space of 7 More...

Can't wait for the Glasgow gig. Favourite song on the album too, its beautiful. message for alejandra... | Reviewer: gottfried ------ About the song Song To Say Goodbye performed by Placebo maybe you are aleksandra silka from poland (katowice)??? if so, i am sorry for you. if not - i am also sorry for you and forget about it. but if you are the one I suppose to know (my ex-girlfriend) then I have a special message for you: maybe you have also broken someone else heart? love is cruel, you know - and it is a disease... abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is... nothing happens without a reason. yahh | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Because I Want You performed by Placebo This is about a drinking problem within a relationship problem, 'all i ever do is stumble into you, my memorys hazy and i'm scared to be alone' suggests one half of the relationship comes home pissed all the time, stumbling into the other half - looking for comfort and companionship when all they're doing is tearing them apart by drinking. :) ... | Reviewer: dulle ------ About the song Song To Say Goodbye performed by Placebo alejandra, i know what are you going through. Same thing happend to me. My gf became so selfish... and so mean (to me especialy)... for no reason at all... we got back together... and it was even worst... now we broke up again. She was the voice that made me cry... But no anymore coz that's not her. My love would never make me feel bad. She's just self centered bitch now... MUSIC HASN’T CHANGED | Reviewer: Salvatore Gagliarde ------ About the song Infra Red performed by Placebo A catastrophic scenario is going on, planet collapse; a waterfall of sound, weep of high pitches and tensed wires screeching. A grudge that is not going to stop, not even in front of the apocalypse. Right before the point of no return, a promise: I'll be coming after you! Hollywood-style treath for a revenge apparently relying on technology in a future where everything has changed, transformed and annihilated… everything but man’s wild and unforgiving inner nature. And behind all that, the pressing sound seems to chase you with no mercy. The 3d single extracted from their cd “Meds” makes it very clear, music hasn’t changed: night hasn’t come to a down for the band and his captain/author Brian Molko. Teen-agerish pessimism (if the word didn’t exist I'll take credit for inventing it) and well calculated bohemian style, one might object. Maybe. Sure enough there’s not too many contemporary musicians out there able to depict a well articulated epic scene with such a synergy of music and lyrics. Lords Zeppelin could have been proud of them. Nor many are the ones still able to make you feel that small stupid shiver raising up your back. Above all: getting on their young shoulders an old tradition coming from Morrison, Bowie, Lou Reed, Morrissey and the Cure, the Placebo owe their success to the ability to express, through unique images and sounds, the discomfort and the inadequacy of those who suffer from a inner illness that can’t be overcome (or only with great difficulties). A kind of pain sometimes unleashed by the world around, sometimes evocated by someone special ("You are slipping slowly from my reach, you’ve never seen the lonley me at all" – Without you I’m nothing), quite often easyed by the use and abuse of various substances. A pain you never push away for good, seems to stress Brian, not even buried under millions of dollars. nice but diffrent | Reviewer: gurkan ------ About the song Protege Moi performed by Placebo protect me vs protege me .... these both has a differnt meaning :D im mean ,when i was listening in french,i wondered to listen english one ... then i compare meaning of these... french one were better then english one. i just think like that :D nop | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song 20 Years performed by Placebo what he means "though some may hold the rose some hold the rope" he means some people will become your friends and bring real goodness(rose) into your life and other people will bring bad things or have double intentions...(rope) im sure of it...! Nancy Boy | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Nancy Boy performed by Placebo An iconic 20th century rock song. Nancy boy's lyrics are complimented perfectly by Molko's androgynous falsetto. He's really built a character around this song - the ambiguous image that he's carried on throughout his career was created by this song. My personal interpretation is that it is referencing male prostitution - and the male/female reference throughout the song hints at bisexuality. I also think that the line "what a gas" is a about solvent abuse or animal nitrate. Humour and this dark theme make for a highly entertaining song. The courage that goes into the writing must be huge. Congrats, Nancy Boys. i guess this one reminds me to you | Reviewer: alejandra ------ About the song Song To Say Goodbye performed by Placebo gosh i can't believe this is happening... from all i thought could happen to me i never even got on my mind the fact that the one person who said was the love of my life would became someone as selfish and cruel as he is right now :( i guess it's part my fault cuz i didn't claimed his atention when i shoutld, anyway, i guess also he should have realised i needed him, either way it was all about him and my problems were my problems, he is definately the voice that made me cry... love is cruel to me, leonardo daniel aguilar cervantes, you are the cruelest person i've ever met, but still the love of my life, and i'll miss you... from heaven... Placeboholic | Reviewer: Placeboholic ------ About the song Protege Moi performed by Placebo I really, really, love, Adore this song. I love placebo, this is one of heir bests, well every song of placebo its great. SPecial Needs, Black eyed, Speial K, Bitter end, Oh, and there's a new song *O* Battle for the sun. Is soo great :D And the swelling goes down. | Reviewer: xXAnonymousRockGodXx ------ About the song Pierrot The Clown performed by Placebo This song is so deep it's scary. I brought the album, being a 'net-based-fan' because of Meds and Infa-red... I started listening to this song, and the amount of Love and Devotion, but Betrayal in Brian's voice within this song, shows alot of meaning... I belive it's about someone has lost someone, either a friend or girlfriend to a drug-related inccident, and wants everything to go back to normal... Even putting his own body, soul and hart to make it work out... The Placebo boys have done well in this song... One of my ultimate faves... so what | Reviewer: Music Lover ------ About the song Running Up That Hill performed by Placebo come on people, who actually cares if it is a cover of a different song?? What actually matters is and always should be how good it is and in this case, it is awesome. I actually found this song at the end of Judas On A Pole, a Bones episode season two, and did some digging. I am now in love with this song, no matter if it is a cover or not. All I'm saying is don't judge on whether it is or is not their song, judge by the quality! Brian Molko & Kate Bush | Reviewer: XxPureMourningxX ------ About the song Running Up That Hill performed by Placebo I can always tell when it's a cover -- the lyrical style of Placebo just isn't identical to that of Kate Bush, or in another case Syd Barret. If you really listen to your favorite artists' work, you can tell plainly what is not their own lyrics. Either way it's a brilliant song, and as a fan i admire Brian Molko's ability to transform other people's music Placebo-style. It's just a pity that in places like YouTube they get such shit for it. Amazing song | Reviewer: Alanna ------ About the song Song To Say Goodbye performed by Placebo What other people have written about this song is very true. It is about the fail of a friendship, or a bond if you wish, the story of one person leaving another either in fear of ending up like them or because they feel they have done all that they can do. This song reminds me very much of myself. I have amazing friends who have done their best to help me overcome my bad behaviour related with alcohol, but there is only so much that they can do. Today they have finally reached the end of their tether and I am okay with that. I accept it. This song truly is amazing. perfect! | Reviewer: ola! ------ About the song Battle For The Sun performed by Placebo i think the repeating of i and you emphasizes the selfishness of the song to change its phase for something more hopeful.. this is somehow a desperate change.. more likely a drastic move for their good.. i think its a relationship sinking and the other one is already hopeless yet the other one still wants to fix it.. Dream brother, my killer, my lover brother since they are a team inside the relationship, the killer which is present to all relationship since the other one is hopeless already and she/he is becoming a heavy weight to saving their relationship but in the end he reminds her that they are a lover.. they are to be one.. to battle for the sun.. where is my mind | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Where Is My Mind performed by Placebo this song,i could say,that makes me feel free and happy...i feel so happy when i hear it..i think that i can do what i want without limits...maybe it does the same think that the drugs do... i Love Placebo!!!!! wow... | Reviewer: Penny ------ About the song Pierrot The Clown performed by Placebo This song actually sends shivers up my spine... or maybe thats because im cold. i love the echo of his voice i think really he just has a druggie girlfriend that beats him up.. but he still loves her. Fav band ever! | Reviewer: Ellieh ------ About artist/band Placebo I started listening to Placebo when I was about 11 years old. That's almost 7 years now, since I started listening to them and I still LOVE them. I've got all their CDs and DVDs. ^^ New CD coming out this summer, I can't wait ^^ <3 | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Running Up That Hill performed by Placebo I don't think it's about anything sexual or even so much of a break up. i believe it's just simply about a couple that is having a hard time making a decision or getting past something. Love is about being unconditional and standing behind the person you share your life with no matter what. He sounds like he can't believe that she would want to know how he's feeling about her decision. Her decision to probably not follow him or stand behind him on a decision he's made. It hurts him, so he wants to make a deal with God to trade places with her. I think he's saying that if he could trade places with her, he would do what she won't do for him... he'd probably make her follow him if he was her. or just simply to put her in his shoes so that she knows what it feels like to have your loved one abandon you during a hard time. The lyrics that say: You don't want to hurt me, (her not wanting to hurt him because she is too scared to follow him) But see how deep the bullet lies. (meaning for both of them, because they are both torn) Unaware that I'm tearing you asunder. (he doesn't realize how much he's hurting her for making her choose) There's a thunder in our hearts, baby (they obviously love each other incredibly, just don't know how to get through this) and then the next lyrics: So much hate for the ones we love (loving each other so much, but hating the decisions that each ones made) Tell me, we both matter, don't we? (for him there should be no question for her to follow him, you either stick by your partner or you don't, and so he feels that he doesn't matter?) You, -If I only could, be running up that hill You and me -If I only could, be running up that hill You and me, won't be unhappy (if i could trade places with you, i could show you that following me isn't going to make us unhappy. he wants her to trust him) then the last big lyrics that seem sexual: Come on, baby, come on, come on, darling, Let me steal this moment from you now. Come on angel, come on, come on, darling, Let's exchange the experience (i really think this is just him saying to her... put yourself in my shoes once) Beautiful song + ah-hahahaha! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Running Up That Hill performed by Placebo I found this song while looking over youtube for any new Placebo singles. They've been one of my favorite bands since I was a young teen (which, granted, wasn't too long ago), and I think this is a beautiful cover. It makes me want to finally look into Kate Bush, so if any of her fans here have recommendations, I'd love to hear them. Also, Mr. 36 year old anonymous smartypants. If you were going to effectively soapbox about "young" people not knowing when songs are covers, you probably should've picked a better example than "Tainted Love." The Soft Cell version was a cover just as much as the Manson version. It was originally a Gloria Jones song. Now, granted, both my parents are music-philes, so most of the music I listen to is older than me; but I'm twelve years your junior and can still tell you that Soft Cell were covering that song too. Whoops.
