Placebo

Hopefully with Placebo slipping out of general popularity, the crowd will be more true fans.


Who say, "Oh wow, I hope he's gay!"

Alrighty then, have fun tonight. No getting up on stage and kissing Brian….

What kind of rock and roll name is Brian?

Which makes me wonder why they get so much good press for this album?

I am beginning to think most British bands shouldnt be alowed to make more than three albums……

Radiohead and blur would also fit nicely into that.

say that about Radiohead ONE MORE TIME and i'll kill ya!

Quakey quakey quakey…….

Look mummy, "the emperor is naked".

Oh yes son, "And how fat and repulsive he has got".

"should we stay to point and laugh?"

"No, its just too abhorrent"

So I'm looking forward to my first Placebo concert experience tonight… Who else is going?

me, me; it'll be my first time too, should be an experience.

Must second our dear Andrew/Markie…the new album is very blah. Even if they play a good selection from the first two, it still might not be worth $20 to stand through all the new stuff.

I certainly hope the crowd is better than last time – nothing but rude, pogoing Eurotrash and an unfortunate goth-lite Lollipop Kid contingent.

i went to get my idlewild tickets tonight and i must say it was certainly a very goth lite crowd…………..

note to kids in black……………goth only works if you don't have tans i'm sorry but you look way too healthy……….
better get anaemic quick……………..

I thought the show was pretty darn good, the sound towards the back could have shattered glass it was so sharp. All in all, I thought the new songs are pretty good, the older material was a lot of fun to hear. Always helps when the show is free too of course! :)

I agree. Much better than their last tour. The set list sucked but they sounded great. Unfortunately, I somehow got sidetracked by a pretty girl, gin and tonics, and a candy necklace. Woke up with an email address on my hand that I can't decipher. I think it says surfer rosa.

lulu, anemia and iron deficiencies are serious and not to be joked about! shame on you! :D

actually i do know a cool trick… if you rub a fairly pure gold ring on your cheek, it will turn black (as though you have been attacked by a pencil) where you traced the ring if you are iron deficient. when i noticed this, my friends immediately wrote bad words on my forehead and whiskers on my cheek. it was awesome!! haha

sounds like placebo could use a lesson or two from pearl jam :D

You think they should be mor grunge? haha, jk. The show, I thought, was great, although its true the setlist was kinda not cool. They couldve played Passive Aggressive and Peeping Tom, but Special K was esp cool to hear, thats thier best song i think. and the "Where Is My Mind" cover at the end was the icing on the cake. The crowd was jumping in the front, standing in the back and didnt seem to un-930ish to me. I got there late and managed to unrudely get about 10 feet from the stage, so that was cool.
Worth $20 definitely, but i wouldve picked PJ over Placebo had they not been at the Nissan Hellhole. I wouldnt even go see Radiohead there, unless it was thier only US show, which wont ever happen!

So then…..

did they play anything off their masterwork first album?

Did they play for an hour and then have a two song encore?

Was the bass player tall and skinny?

no
yes
sure


I have an attention span problem AND got there late, but i heard
The Bitter End
Black Eyed
Every Me, Every You
English Summer Rain
Without You I'm Nothing
This Picture
Special K
Slave To The Wage
Pure Morning
(not really in that order and i probably missed a couple)
the encore was that song i can never think of the name of, and then Where is My Mind was the last song.

Thanks Sonic, you're the best.


so I missed pure morning and every you, every me….

$10 for each decent song….

I am not sure that would work well in the dollar per minutes of entertainment scale…

I made the right choice in resisting.

I dunno…I really like "The Bitter End" and some of the other new tunes. I'd go see them again.

I think This Picture is the best song on the new disc. And i would go see them again too. :)

yeah i liked the sound but was really disappointed in the setlist. they didnt play some of the best songs: days before you came, 36 degrees, commercial for levi, nancy boy, and spite and malice! also, how could a first rate band like placebo end a set with a cover?!
