Ever since I started following Placebo on IG my feed has constantly been recommending me HIM and Ville Valo content. I make me think that according to the meta algorithm that a lot of Placebo fans are also HIM fans. So to test this theory I know to know if the Placebo fans in the subreddit are also HIM fans?
Hiiiiiii friends!!! 🌸🌸🌸 Umm... I hope this doesn’t come across the wrong way but does Mr. Molko have a girlfriend or a partner? I'm asking for a friend. 👀😶
I’d appreciate a genuine answer. Hugz. 💝
Just a placebo fan here who’s wondering if anyone knows if they’ll do a North America tour at some point in the future 😞 I’ve been nonstop listening for years and hope to see them
Edit: yes I know they just finished a tour here, nothing that is within my age range or travel range. It wouldn’t have been possible for me to see them this past tour.
I don’t know if it’s too early to ask, but has there been any word about if the This Search for Meaning documentary will be released on anything in the future?
Scene: Quiet, late night walk, listening to the Placebo discography on shuffle.
I'd never have remembered this one in a million years but it came on and damn, what an absolute gem.
I love this band. Especially the tracks that make me just want to lie down and fade away, a tender shade of escapism.
(I've learnt today that it's a cover)
Not sure if there are any gamers here but I just played Silent Hill 2 Remake and the entire vibe of the game is perfect for A Million Little Pieces. That song does not get nearly enough credit. It is sonic depression in the best way possible.
I fucking love so many songs by Placebo but this song has been hitting hard for some reason in my personal life.
Black Market Music is an amazing album.
That’s all I wanted to share.
Anyone going to the TSFM showing at the Grand Illusion Cinema this Saturday? Im newish to the area and would enjoy connecting with some cool humans. Lmk.
I’ve always enjoyed what I’ve heard of Placebo, since Without You I’m Nothing.
I’ve always rated them (him/her) as an artist, but I’ve never been a super fan that plays all their albums, listens to all their songs….
But I’m going though some shit. Addiction. Depression. Questioning the sad and fucked up world, and most importantly my place in it.
I cannot explain to you how Brian’s experience, as expressed through his body of work, has touched and connected with me….
Just hearing that someone, as gifted and talented as him, has felt and dealt with what I’m going through….it isn’t inspiring, or uplifting or motivating (obvs) - but it is so, so comforting.
I feel heard, because he’s felt it and written something beautifully haunting about it.
Not even (in my opinion) a sonically and musically superior like Radiohead, quite gets it’s like Brain Molko does.
I hear you dude, I feel you, and we in this together….
Planning a playlist. Don't get biased based on commercial success. Looking for the most Placebo sounding song.
Go!
At the concert in Mexico (at the end of ‘Sad white reggae)Brian gets an oxygen mask. I’ve never seen this before. Does he use it regularly at concerts?
anyone knows if the documentary is going to be available on stream soon? I want to see it really bad but I don't live near any city that have it on its cinemas :/
It was a b-side on an early single. Reminiscing about old songs with offensive lyrics and I tried to look this one up and it isn’t available. As many song with offensive themes are still about i wondered why. The only other reason i can think of is Brian M has requested its removal for personal reasons. Does anybody know?
I was wondering which bands have claimed to have been inspired by Placebo. i'm talking about both mainstream and underground bands. also artists or singers who are just Placebo fans
A question for the lucky ones who attended the Placebo documentary: is it true that Brian was justifying his drug and alcohol use? I read a review yesterday that said that the documentary made it clear that Brian was calming down in this way and didn't regret anything.
Hi everyone! I have an extra ticket to the TSFM screening in Austin TX on Sunday @2pm, it's free, just DM me. Not sure where else to post this, but one of my friends is unable to make it and I know it's sold out.
I was scrolling through live performances and saw the title of this one said (very passionate performance), so I of course had to watch it and see what that meant 😂 They were not kidding when they said that; holy hot damn. It is very clear Brian is working through something in this performance and it’s a very ugly and raw emotion, whatever it is. The performance is very evocative and I’d love to know your takes on it? Does anyone know what was going on at the time? Was he playing it up a bit for the stage? I don’t think so, but would love to know your takes!
Exit Wounds is definitely one of my favorite Placebo songs. I remember streaming Loud Like Love in its entirety when it released and having a very unique reaction to that song specifically, as soon as it came on. Whenever I return to Placebo, it’s one of the first songs I go back to.
No Come home lyrics as well. Is it because of the label?
I just watched the documentary, and it was a beautiful experience. I could relate to the first part of the documentary, really nice. Well. The thing is, Does anyone know where I can find that fragment where Brian plays a song (I think it's Brick Shithouse acoustic version, but I'm not sure). It sounds really good, but there doesn't seem to be a video on Youtube.
I just completed a questionnaire about the experience of being a fan for group from a university and there was this question (but not Placebo, it was musicians in general). I put "Expressiveness", because they can say a lot of what I think or feel (being lived something or not).
What would you answer?
This band is true love.. been listening to placebo since I was 13. I’m 28 now … Does anyone have an idea if placebo will perform in 2025? I’m willing to travel anywhere they’ll be performing .
All right, last night I saw the documentary, may I add the mall and the cinema where it was shown sucks, but anyways.
To my surprise the theater was full, it was a small screening, 54 seats, i counted them myself, I really liked the interviews, its a nice chat that you sometimes feel like you want to join.
The David Bowie bits brought a tear to my eye, god I miss him so much.
The songs that they play are all Never Let Me Go, you can see some nice shots of the band, nice.
10 / 10 would watch again
stay after the credits for a surprise lol
