  • nadie superan a T-Rex pero el cover del Placebo a sido el mejor de todos

  • nice.

  • It would be better if he learned the lyrics

  • Tiene magnifica voz...pero T.Rex version es mejor...

  • Placebo is a great band in itself- I wouldn't know if they did the song justice or not because I haven't heard the original, but I like their songs.

  • learn to sing !!! what ever you are ,it she or he!!!!

  • this version has absolutely shit on the original, it does it no justice, these guys should put their guitars down and listen to def leppards cover, now THATS a cover that does the orginal justice, but nothing will ever beat marc bolan............

  • In a fight or in a concert placebo does this song no fucking justice

  • I've heard many versions of the original now and I simply don't get why people like this one.

    There are much better versions but the original is still the best.

  • T-rex would kick their ass

  • In a fight?

  • I'm not really a fan of placebo but I have to admit this cover is great!

  • Yay! That gay version is as amazing as the original in a different way! LOL All Placebo's covers are great! It's gay but still has the fierce edge of the original. He's amazing!

  • ((Molko)). I love it! You guys were so lucky!

  • truman show rocks

  • There are voices from heaven, this one is definitely one!!!

  • X Japan Version is better colorfull

  • placebo at their best! great job guys <3 thanks for posting!

  • orginal version is much much better

  • who cares placebo sounds very well here , and t- rex cant play is dead haha

  • and marc bolan wasnt a little bit queer himself?

  • *___*

  • It's a shame nobody has the rest of this concert

  • great!

  • Excellent cover and they all look Yummy.

  • Brian Looks yummy in this vid

  • It's an amazing cover, and god, does Brian look hot or what?? :D:D:D

  • sick cover. he looks amazing in this film

  • aww how he says aregato! :D

    so cute!

  • Bowie/Bolan the Best. T Rex!!!

  • I don't deserve this .... Placebo for life.

  • camp freddy with dave navarro did this song a year or two ago on the sharon ozbourne show but I can't find it anywhere.

  • where is this? the crowd's great!

  • whoops, fuji rock in japan. should have waited till the end before asking.

  • WOW MEGA BAND Best T Rex Cover I have ever seen

  • This song is soooo gay! We LOVE it!

    Twincerely

  • He looks better with the short hair cut!

  • brian makes me smile

  • Great to see Placebo paying tribute to the best and most original Rock Star ever - Marc Bolan! Rock On!

  • I LOVE it! Its fucking great! Wonderful gay song performed by the most handsome bisexual rockstar with the sweetest voice ever... Wow, THANK YOU for uploading this!

  • brian is unique, there's no other man like him!! he's cute, he got the bestest voice in the world and he also looks really nice person too!!

    i would like to be his toy =P

  • Still prfer original, but this is pretty damn good!

  • The lyrics are suppose to be "20th century toy, I wanna be your boy"? I think the song is brilliant cause when you sing "20th century boy, I wanna be your toy" it becomes a gay song.

  • he sings i wanna be your TOY

  • Bolan says the two.

  • is it in japan??

  • it definitely loses something without the gospel singers they had on the Velvet Goldmine soundtrack cut.

  • zawsze dostaje świra jak tego słucham (I always be a creazy when i hear this)

  • Trust me you guys could do this!! It loud and they have good gear. They are nothing special,the chords they are playing is what you learn in JR. high!

  • lol "that sontra dude seems like a dick", "keep your opinion to yourself!", hmm, slight contradiction?

  • great song butchard.

  • lucky bass^^:P

  • lol, yeah!!!

  • Whey I love this song!

    Love this band too!

    that Sontra dude seems like a dick

    Keep your opinion to yourself mate!

    Placebo are fantastic and this may not be the best cover in the world but I bet it's better than anything you can do!

  • 2:33- 2:38 and 3:27-3:30

    I think Stefan has sex with his bass this moments =P

  • man you got that right!

  • im sure the old people said the same thing about bolan during his day. But you're right in a way.

  • These guys make my skin crawl!!

  • molko is the 21st century boy^^ i luv him^^

  • yeah...he is! :P

  • he is so young in this concert!when did it take place?

  • I also love placebo:D

  • I love Placebo!! thats one of my favourites cover!!

  • Marc would be so pleased that so many people are covering his songs and I am sure he would have loved placebo - he may have even forgiven Brian for changing the words to the first verse...and singing the chorus the wrong way around.

  • Yes T-rex r God for creatin such a great song. But Placebo did make it more modern/rockier. I fuckin love this band, but I admit Brian does sound kind of half-assed in this.

  • i LOVE brian

  • I like this version-I think Brian's voice and attitude is suited to this great classic, but they do F. up the chords on the chorus - which they sort out when they performed it with David Bowie-posted by "thereissomuch2see".Now that version does the song justice.

  • The original is the best this is crap but T rex may have done a cover of the original but is so much beeter than this cock up of a song

  • t rex did the original u twat

  • woody1234woody1234 - hehe so funny!

  • The purpose of a cover is not to sound exactly like or be as good s the original. All it is is putting another flavour on an already great song. Sure a cover will never be as good as th original, but that's because it doesn't have the same feeling it would have if performed by the writer. Covers are tributes to great bands

  • actually i used to be a major placebo fan.

    i still love em.

    fact is molko just cant pull this one off, plain and simple.

    i've never heard a cover done by him that i've liked though, because i think his voice is so unique that when HE writes a song he has it with his voice in mind, when bowie or marc writes it, they dont.

  • I love how if another band covers someones favourite band, the fan has to take the piss out of the band that covered it :]

    It's so predictable, and half of the people who flame this video haven't listened to any other Placebo stuff.

    Long live Placebo, my gorgeous sweethearts

    x

  • hehehe hes got all the words wrong.

    its an alright cover, but Marc cannot be replaced.

  • brilliant cover rip main man 1947 1977

  • ew, they should NOT have covered this. they ruined a classic.

  • cant sing and cant play guitar

  • how to ruin a great song that is soo SHITTT

  • yes. this sucks. Michael Stipe on helium singing the wrong words. Aeeeeeyeeaaah!

  • I just love Brian with every passing day!

  • bassist looks like an inbred hillbilly

  • marc bolan !!!!

    i dont like this version

  • Brian <3

  • STEFAN!!! =P°°0  <3

  • this isn't bizarre.. its somewhere in japan

  • I love this song...

    And the singer is sexy ! :)

  • what a whiny voice

  • its at Bizarre Festival 2000, if im not mistaken

  • where is it??

  • Great version of a MARC BOLAN classic.......some wrong lyrics but who cares, still sounds great even though the original is best.

    Delf and Kaz x

  • Great cover of a great song/artist by a great band. Placebo's cover of the same song with Bowie is awesome as well...

    "Friends say it's fine, friends say it's good

    Everybody says it's just like Robin Hood"

  • lol.. I wondered what he said?!

  • Oh please. You are so missing the point! Marc Bolan and T-Rex were the penultimate if not the ultimate glam bad in the 70s. Placebo is that band in the modern era. Glam and rock in perfect unison!

  • uhm. i would like to be in the crowd.everybody is jumping!..

  • ^  geschmackssache junge....zum glück ist der bei jedem anders

  • god how the hell did these guy get a record deal? ive heard better bands in my local pub! plus they absolutely slaughtered 20th century boy!!

  • aaahhh I never seen this song live! ohh motherfucker! is amazing!

  • iyi sölemiş brian

  • fucking love this!

  • this is a better version than T-Rex. one of my fav Placebo songs

  • dont be so silly bolans version is the main one this is a close second

  • everyone has their own opinions!

  • No where fucking near as good as T Rex - This song doesn't really work without Marc Bolan's voice, especially not this guy's voice, it's too weak

  • Thanks!

  • more kicks, Brian! hehe
