There is no point in a cover if nothing is really changed from the original. And considering that it is just a straight cover with no real artistic input from Placebo, it can't really be better can it? Because the original is performed by the ARTIST who came up with it. In theory someone could paint a technically superior version of the Mona Lisa, but without injecting any creativity, it could never really be better could it?
@Doki66 I relate to what you're saying, but I like both of the versions.
The original is more deep and kind of sets in a dark mood, and this version is really more vivid and light. So I think that it depends on my mood whether I'll listen to Placebos or The Pixies version.
Still, the credit for this song should go to The Pixies, and bashing the original version is disgraceful.
@sandroboticheli Are you retarded? How can you think this is better than the pixies? I mean i like placebo but come on, saying this version is better than the original is just plain stupidity.
here's the thing a lot of people don't get. when a band covers a song like this, they usually aren't trying to "do it better" than the original. they are giving props to the original version by playing it themselves. They simply do the song in their style and aren't trying to compete with whoever they are covering. I like both versions of this song in different ways.
I ADORE the original... but I do think Brian's voice really suits this song... could 'hear' him singing this in MY mind before I ever heard this cover for real.
Does anyone remember the name of this music show? I know it was on The BBC (uk) and it was hosted by Dermot O'Leary. Good program, It had a hand full of bands that would play one of their own songs and then one from a band that they were influenced by. Another band covered Black Sabbath's Wizard and i'd like to see that one again.
Brian was born in antwerp , which has 4 prominent languages , ranging from french to flemish and even dutch , antwerp is a beautiful city and its only fitting it should be recognised as an influence early in his life but not the sole influence
i recently started to listen to placebo and think they're great, but how come they do all this stuff in france? are any of the band members from there?
any other guitar players notice that placebo plays the song one entire fret higher than the pixies? including joey santiago's part. Not a bad thing, probably just because the singer sings the song a little different, and this better matches his vocal style. Amazing cover though!
this song is written by frank black aka black francis aka lead singer of the pixies. the dust brothers did the soundtrack to fight club and the pixies version of the song is playing as the credit card buildings are falling.
I asked myself where is my mind,my mind is where Placebo is!
