Placebo - Nancy Boy 1997 TOTP

[CBUNDTH]

THE MOST SEXIEST BISEXUAL MAN IN THIS WORLD...FUCK THE HATERS CUZ U KNOW U WANT A PIECE OF THAT =)

[panzerkeil]

It's heavy and cool, but at the same time it's Homo Promo writ large. Sorry lads, or is that "ladies" ??

[MrKranke]

its a playback, isnt it? :O

[ljalexi]

@MrKranke I've never seen anything "live" on TOTP.  Not sure why...live would be nice.

[peris29revenge]

@elisotta84 actually it's not nessesary to have a wire..:P i think u can play wireless..something like a mobile phone...XD lol...a lot o f artists play without a wire to move easier..

[o0Think0o]

I think Noddy Holder secretly really enjoyed saying 'Nancy Boy' on TV.

[unwell333]

Cute little Brian looks crazy.

And I totally have the jacket he's wearing. Doesn't look quite as good on me though, lol

[reanimatedchaz]

Wow, i've never seen Brian look so wide eyed O_O He looks wide awake lol

But as gorgeous as ever xD

[jihan27able]

hello pretty...

[olafurhh03]

My favorite placebo song. Its so energetic and powerful. Just love it.

[aysonator]

apperently when touring after there 1st album brian was mistaken for a woman and this guy treid to chat him up. when the guy found out he was in tears apperently.

i love placebo!!!!

[davidmadruga2]

Glam version of Nirvana.

[227007]

i read an atricle on this lmao he said he felt like a creep singing those lyrics to a group of like 15 yr olds lol

[tmnnerd]

@227007 i heard they stopped that after the 1994 nirvana smells like teen spirit fiasco where they farted around and then trashed the set. fuck knows tho...

[reanimatedchaz]

@tmnnerd

How awesome was Nirvana for doing that though? lol

[stillilllife]

This is definitely singback: Only Brian's vocals are live.

[tmnnerd]

@stillilllife i heard they stopped that after the nirvana smells like teen spirit fiasco where they farted around then trashed the set. fuck knows tho...

[ramiroortega1991]

First drummer was so fucking awesome !!!

Reminded me of the Smashing Pumpkins with those drums. The new has is also excellent, very different. But Steve Hewitt Is their best drummer, having stuck up with them for many years.

They were all so amazing.

[MigjawPuppet91]

haha hot chick :D

[delhomewrecker]

When this first showed we didn't know his name and it took a few weeks to realise he was a bloke lol

[nothingatalldotnet]

i had the exact same experience!

[efeee]

Placebos 90 era is the best

[saturnringsnet]

oh yeah,.. i love Bri singing like a MeeoowWing!

[AllanMCI]

Remember this!......it was a revelation to me back then. TOTP hads it's place.....bring it back. Thursday nights just aint been the same without it.

[lexiholly]

i love this song :D i loved their earlier stuff but i love the music they do now i think its good that they've developed. i very much doubt this wasn't live if you listen to it close enough there are definate imperfections and differences to the album version. placebo do not like playback there a video somewhere of brian throwing a tantrum after they were made to play playback once :)

[julietvdance]

sa voix est plus grave maintenant en 2009 à comparer d'avant

[ofxxxthexxxflowers]

yeah, it does sound different now I listen more closely. I wish they were still making music like this...

[synnott08]

thats the guy from slade :L:L

[ofxxxthexxxflowers]

god, he looks hot. But you do know this wasn't live, right? Nothing on totp was live. That's why it sounds exactly like the studio recording- because it is.

[johntuohy]

Actually the bands were given the option to sing over a track of the song. A lot of artists didn't like to lip synch their performances. It's obvious this isn't a lip synch either.

[ofxxxthexxxflowers]

so, he's really singing but the band aren't really playing?

[johntuohy]

That's correct, they don't have time or space for sound engineers and such, so they play a backing track and at the band's request insert or remove vocals. Never see the time Nirvana performed and made a mockery of the whole set up?

[johntuohy]

He looks like a little girl anyways, how's that make him hot?

[ofxxxthexxxflowers]

People have different aesthetic tastes. I don't think he looks like a girl. I admire his attitude and musical talent more than anything.

[9875684]

@ofxxxthexxxflowers you're gay

[ofxxxthexxxflowers]

@9875684 Incorrect. You're fucking retarded.

[9875684]

@ofxxxthexxxflowers you are a homosexual.

[eatingcandy]

@ofxxxthexxxflowers he went for looking like a girl and to a certain - very sexy - extent he did. nothing wrong with that ayway, is there.

[XxPureMourningxX]

love this video. ok it's 90s quality, but them having been on TOTP and similar justifies me having heard them at a young age

and bless him. maybe he's high - whatever. any self-respecting guy would be scared if he wasn't!

[vodkatagada]

is he on drugs ?

[swichtedoff]

he used lots of heroin..

[vodkatagada]

i know they were addict but here, i mean he looks completly high

[swichtedoff]

and? he was addicted...but not anymore...anyway i was not there .... ;)

[Shoegal2]

I remember watching this on TOTP and I loved it straight away - i cant believe it was 12 years ago!! I got their album for my 15th birthday and was a Placebo fan for years until I heard Muse when I was 18.....but this is still amazing! Reminds me of school!

[Pyroman1990]

WOAH the singers a girl!??!?!?! God when youve heard the song for 11 years but never seen them

[strcd]

He's a boy wearing a dress. And no I am not kidding.

[thevalhallaexpress]

When I saw this, at the time, I didn't half fancy the girl singing... She's called Brian apparently...

[werta09]

excelent song and video!

i love it

[Narcoleptic36]

love it

[susanaferenc]

old placebo fashion: brian with a sleazy shinny suit, steve with a red shirt with flowers =))

This is so funny to look at:D

[Heinzbakedbeansyayay]

Lmao, yeah but this was the nineties...

[Garbageloverac]

they looked better like tha now they look old and the complete opposite of 'high'
