Are there any Placebo fans here? PJ's my favorite band and I was wondering if any other PJ people are into this band.

    I'm not a fan by any standards, got none of their albums and don't like what I've heard so far. This electro-thing on Sleeping With Ghosts really scared me away. I thought the only thing how I could get into them would be if they started being a real rock band and from what I've heard about Meds that seems to have happened. I saw the video for the first single recently and it actually sounded pretty good. The album's out on the 10th, isnt it? I might pick it up, not sure yet.
    Well, do you need a lot of what you've got to survive?

    their dvd from Paris is by all means awesome. I recommend that one to those who haven't heard or seen them.

    OMG Dolly, YOU also like Placebo?! They seriously kick ASS!! :D:D i haven't seen them live of course, but their music is truly spine tinglinly!:)

    Every You, Every Me, is one of my favorite songs from them. :D Has anyone seen their version of Where Is My Mind? w/Frank Black from the Pixies?! That version always gives me goosebumps!:)

    I LOVE Placebo....they are such a great rock band.......Black Market Music was a great cd......Nancy Boy, an older song, is great!

    I have seen them several times.....great live band.

    I love how prissy/bitchy Brian sounds at times!

    They are a true European rock band...great beats, style, a flashy stage show!

    Nice to see that you people are adventurous.....I was thinking that everyone on these boards sat at home, still crying over Shannon Hoon and Layne Staley!

    a friend with breasts and all the rest

    Thats the best line! :D

    Anyway, I haven't listened much to Sleeping with ghosts, or their self-titled debut. But Black Market Music and Without You I'm Nothing have gotten plenty of spins in my cd player.

    The main thing about them that I like is that the words almost have a rhyme to them, but sometimes not.

    Never seen them live though, probably should, if they even tour the states that is.

    The Vancouver show with Idlewild opening, perchance? I was at that one, which was incredible. I didn't know much more than a few songs at the time, but it was really enjoyable and they played something like a 10-minute long version of Pure Morning for the first song of the encore. Brian was really happy with the crowd response ... not a typical, tame Vancouver crowd (despite the overwhelming pot smell ;)). I hope they come back, but it's so expensive for bands that don't have radiohead or Coldplay-like status to come overseas.

    The first two albums were great and up there on my all-time lest, never out of the player etc.....

    Saw them live and they all looked really bored, then Black Market Music was shit and I lost interest.
