Five Years - Placebo

[17scream17]

I'm in love with this song, don't you think this is like a drug? Oh my God, I'm smiling while I'm listening to it. What a voice!

He hypnotizes everyone...

[EffigyQueen]

I fall in love with this song all over again every time I listen to it. It's so beautiful. God, his voice is just incredible.

[WardenJ6]

wow, just wow 

[aflatminor]

[andremase]

[countingmx]

This is from an appearance on France 2 -- a French TV show, aired in (I think) 2006. Brian speaks great French. See the intro here: /watch?v=qL7W74nYR-s

[februarynight]

@countingmx 2004 ;)

[andersonvinicios]

puta que pariu que baita musica... sou fã de placebo e nesse acustico o brian mato a pau ..

[bigmansonfan96]

[gianna1312]

[SuperPlaceboLover]

[SuperPlaceboLover]

um. does anyone know where the interview following this is? if so please send me a link. thx!

[nomsgxxx]

(:



[nanobug]

@Pudinikk - why wouldn't you want to share such a wonderful tune being performed by such a talented man with as many people as possible? Placebo was at one point new to all of us. Stop being such a douche.

[rosalbina188]

speechless. is all i can say

ok, just another thing: who needs a god when u got brian molko?

[MrTimoyan]

what show or concert is this ?

[musthavehad]

[ZSpiders]

[catgutter331]

i like that one part when it sounds good =)

[oscargopaz69]

outstanding... the placebo effect 4ever!!!

[ispanico23]

Why the interviewer seems... I dont'know. Seems that he's gonna rape Brian or something like this. XD It's kinda weird, has this pedo-smile. XD

[MolkoholizmatiC]

this version is much better than Bowie's. i tried to listen to it, but didnt like at all.

[Oilcan555]

I'm not even a Placebo fan (I am a Bowie fan) and I cannot get enough of this performance. It's really authentic and genuine...and sad...it's really great. I love it.

[Oilcan555]

I'm not even a Placebo fan (I am a Bowie fan) and I cannot get enough of this performance. It's really authentic and genuine...and sad...it's really great. I love it.

[chocomalu]

[gertruderick]

[GRDE23]

@sprucejuice78 The drummer that made Placebo famous, THE drummer of Placebo, the drummer all avid Placebo lovers want back....Steve Hewitt

[februarynight]

@sprucejuice78 Steve Hewitt?

[pudinkk]

@sprucejuice78 noob placebo listener detected!

Dont know who the former drummer is,get OUT,and take some fresh air

[pudinkk]

@sprucejuice78 Newbie placebo listener detected! Stewe is the old drummer of the band.

[Marciowth]

@sprucejuice78 He is the former drummer

[reviewsnest]

that singer's a real MILF...

Great voice and although she's a little old she still manages to look sexy, especially when she smiles

[MasterSplinterP1]

@reviewsnest haha thats a dude, bro!

[gertruderick]

@reviewsnest that is funny. seriously.....

[rosalbina188]

@reviewsnest wow, u don't know shit! here u have a man who's just 32.. now how can u say it's a woman? how can u say it's old? maybe it's true, with all this stupidity we can't have more than 5 years left to live

[bruninhya575]

1:45 - 1:59 Gives me the chills. Love this version.

[reviewsnest]

Amazing cover!

[Lawen78]

It's 2 fast

[rainbowchakra90]

what show is this from?

[BlackEyed151]

David Bowie )

[yaniz176]

1: 48 And i thought of ma and i wanted to get back there

Your face, your race, the way that you talk

I miss you, you're beautiful,.. speachless .. i used to love bowie original version but i love how fast goes the tempo ..

[Oyaji291]

I can't stand how fast the tempo is...

[deina1000]

i love the way Steve looks at Brian @ 2:10......

[TheAssassinsAssassin]

I love Placebo, and I love this version, but the Bowie origianal still has my heart <3.

[jsransom]

Had this song on loop for the last 20minutes and still can't get enough of it!

Damn I love him

[deina1000]

@jsransom soooo true!same here!!

[jsransom]

Had this song on loop for like 20mins now....damn I love him!!!!!!!

[ganuenen]

this definitely does david bowie justice!!

[MisterSynyster]

Doesn't have the same Bowie emotion...

[johnnyrose666]

of course because is not sung by Bowie but Molko, it has not the same emotion, but a different one, ok?

I like this version

[Bzunya]

Amazing song, I even sang along.. :)) I want to hear again and again!

Many thanks for the video!

[vivelavidarocka]

Great version. I like his voice, it reminds me of Mike Scott from The Waterboys.

[Wallij15]

I agree...despite obviously Mike Scott is a lot more Irish sounding...

being Irish :P

[saku373]

another reason to love brian molko))))

[nooozelda]

i love it!!! <3

[wolfi2224]

wow....hammer!

[MigjawPuppet91]

he is such a babe!

[danaofcamden]

great great great

[xXTheXFakeXx]

@Geekella: I think that he looked at moderator who swings to side as you can see in the next second :D :D I must smile too :D

[Geekella]

he did an amazing cover....but i must wonder...why is he smiling throughout the entirity of this depressing song? O_o

[kimberwolf1971]

I love this.

[ROCKONplaceboforever]

LUV PLACEBO! THX

[HermosaNadenka]

hey people have you seen that brian's looks and smile?? i think it was at stefan and for him...he is totaly in love with him im sure!! and it so cute:)

[rhysazovic]

anyone know the chords to this version pleasee??

[aflatminor]

smashin'-completely different to bowies' version but still fantastic...

[chals84]

great

[molko1626]

brian molko sings so good! his voice is amazing and I like him so much! jaja! well.. however

[EvilLenin]

That was excellent, PLACEBO Rulzzzz !

[luvigirlgogogo]

i love you, brian.

[dreadlegs]

great version, but I think he rushed it a bit, slowed down a tad it could be as good as bowies

[madder66mortem]

BRIANtastic! :)

[WhateverHime]

Amazing version, Brian seems so much into it. Really, really beautiful.

[And Stef looks proud :P]

[narcoleptickidu]

Orgasmatic!

[aniabeataa]

beautiful song, amazing Brian :)

[pukeyourguts]

placebo are one of my favourite bands ever but this version is nothing compared to bowie's

[jimdivax]

Came to this after searching out Bowie's original. Fair enough version. Prefer Bowie,though. Guess it's all down to who you hear first or what generation you are.

[Beri911]

Please vote for PLACEBO MTV europe music awards BEst alternative act

[ShelbyTheFoo]

i love him

i love him

he is so unbelivable!!!!

like an angel!

brian i love you!

[amabille16]

i miss his androgynous look

[MegaYoungatheart]

Brian has an angel's voice. I can listen to his songs all day long.

[TessResi]

I love the way he lookes up at the beginning. He's just beautiful. And his voice is so unique, extraordinary and soulful ... perfect! I like this version more than the original. Maybe because I heard this one first. Or maybe just because it's Brian Molko *-*

[karoem14]

I love him.. love his voice too.. :))

[GraceUnderPressure1]

Haven't listened to this for a while, just listening to it again has actually made me cry, Brian sings it so beautifully and how he enphasises certain parts, its just perfect!! I know its a David Bowie song but I can't listen to that version and be so moved like I do with this version. Beautiful!

[Drusilla76]

that voice......no words.........

they realy need emoticons here on you tube......

[rybabrand]

chory biseksualista....ale ladnie spiewa ^^

[ghostdance202]

Oh my god I can't find one video where people aren't talking about Brian's sexuality!! We all know, it's not that big of a deal!! Haha

[sirinasint]

OMG!!! I can't believe how beautiful it is!!! Brian is so so soooo AMAZING!!! i mean his voice and the way he looks and all about him!!!

[MolkoholizmatiC]

that's fantastic

love this video and song very much

better than Bowie

[MeganAingealBronach]

thank you sexpistol1979!

that's just how I feel about it... Glad someone agrees with me though...

I just get so fed up with everyone one always being in need to say something stupid and meaningless about it and all...

there are people who love woman, there are people who love men, and there are those who love them both, either you accept that or you don't! but either way, it's your problem...

the way I see it, us bisexuals just have a lot more love to give.

[MeganAingealBronach]

No he' not gay! He is Bi!

And by the way, as we're on that subject anyway...

Why is everybody always nagging and bitching about gay's en bi's?

We are people two, you know...

Just like you we have feelings that can get hurt.

And just like you our shit is just brown, it's not made of gold or whatever!

We are just normal people, with a lot of love to give!

[sexpistol1979]

well put

[pogobull]

WOW

[Isidaaable]

THE BEST VOICE IN THE CENTURY...DAVID BOWIE LOVES BRIAN MOLKO AS WELL <3 ;)

placebooooo!

[Bondy225]

Hes bi. He has a son.

[CarlyWeav1]

.. and i know this is not an original but it is so much better..

[CarlyWeav1]

This is THE best thing that I have on my playlist... this is THE best fucking thing I can listen to and I have heard it so many times. This is fanfuckingtastic..

[23Majk23]

Amazing - much better than David Bowie's original

[Itsmeee22]

is he gay? i like himxDperfekt carzy person=)

[ApocIndustries]

he's bi

[fireXatXwillXMCRx]

yea, he's gay. he's an amazing man.

[HumanJarv]

Smiling and waving and looking sooo fine! Don't think you knew you were in this song.. :) <3 Love Bowie & Molko! :D

[leones81]

I have no words!!!!!

You're the best!!!!!

[PlasticVenusCullen]

my god he's so fucking divine when he sings i am shivering i can't write anything that has sense right now

i really need a frozen shower.

[HumanJarv]

I got cold heat then too, I prefer the original, but this is still greeeeat :D

[ViolaViolenza]

i just love it.

i just love him.

[LAZZESIEVINEN]

perfect ♥

[MegaYoungatheart]

Enchanting!! Can listen to his voice for a whole day!

[Jlenectok]

divine voice, divine Brian...

[sunsetish]

He´s my great love!

[HentaiTeddyBear]

so sweet. *o*

[MeninaCintilante]

Brian's voice (:

[twistedviewlabs]

one of the better bowie covers....next to bauhaus' take on ziggy and nirvana's take on man who sold the world...

now if i could find this one cover of life on mars i heard about five years ago (coincidence....the band was called jetliner or something....)

[twistedviewlabs]

almost forgot...

they should release this one too.

not fair that i have to go here just to hear this rendition of this track.

[changetheways]

you can download it, just type in to google, and you can find it, it's sure, i tried

[jakkefriet]

there is a belgian band that covered that song and they are called arid

[fravian23]

just perfect..where's nothing more to say

[Kukkii1337]

I'm really gonna miss Steve, he is the reason i want to start drumming as well as Jess Margera

[lizavetanikolaevna]

Saw them live yesterday night... they've been great, but i must admit I prefer this quite intimate version... Brian's voice is special

[StephDub777]

I see him, and Stefan in October.

I care not, for the new drummer..

hasn't grown on me yet.

maybe he will.

[muse49240]

Magnifique interprétation beautiful interpretation

[KimAcrylic]

i get to see him in septer i cant waaaait

[Lotty85]

Exactly. He has such a clear, strong voice.

[XHollowGodX]

I'm pleasantly surprised! A lot of vocalists struggle live, especially when it comes to raising their voice. But this Brian... he sounds exactly like, if not better, than he does when singing for his Placebo albums.

[hollywoodprincesse]

I agree with you. He is really amazing

[jolekwlkp]

amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheLindaB]

Really beatiful...OMG!!!

[spencesound]

Good voice, shame about the tempo, too fast, should have played a twelve string, next time Brian, slow it down a bit and use a 12 string, it would then be brilliant.

[NIGHTxHAG]

Maybe he could make loads of diffirent five years, covers? I guess his voice would suit every!

[xxxks93xxx]

OMG *_____* LOVE HIM

[brianCgapwGpanta]

I'm in love with him.....(L)

plz help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[pmnd6877]

Awesome!!

[shoopWhatKatieDid]

Le début est vraiment bien , en fait c'est une excellente performance jusqu'au "We got five years , stuck on my eyes..." , parce qu'à partir de là Brian M perd cette urgence qu'il y avait dans la version originale de Bowie. Dommage..

[wildysary]

everytime I watch this video and I heard this performance I realize how Brian is talented and has a unique voice...this cover is brilliant!The best cover of this song ever heard till now...touching and captivating...

he loves bowie, Bowie himself supported Placebo various time...and Brian said it was the first song which he learned how to play guitar with...

[TheKartinka]

Brilliant Voice!!! Charming Voice!!!!It (voice) looks lika a drugs......I want to listen to again and again...He is great, very great singer.....

[hope120607]

This video proves how unique voice Brian have and how great singer and musician he is. <3

[goneplacebo]

INGRID espero que desde ahora aprecies a este tremendo grupo

[666useless]

respect!

[Profit1983]

Brian Molko has one of the best voices in the world, and in my eyes has the best singing voice of any artist to ever come out of England.

I send all doubters this video.

[xHeartOfTheDark]

LOVE IT!!! LOVE IT!!! LOVE IT!!!

[xbowie]

this is an awesome cover..brian loves bowie and i think he captures the mood of the song perfect...

[CanceledMyself]

I don't agree with cutmaclass... I don't think that the words of brian are weightless I think david bowie is sometimes soo dramatic... the thing about brian is this sarcastic undertone or tune... the bitterness... I think he carries the emotions very well... whatever is just my weightless opinion =)

[thefirstnobletruth]

If you look through the other 752 comments you may laugh at how many times almost an identical conversation has happened.

[CanceledMyself]

you might be right but anyways I'm right too^^ xDDD

[cutmaclass]

Good singer, but his voice doesn't carry the weight of the words; He singing it as if it's frivolous. Bad cover; Arcade Fire's was better. But then again, they got to sing it with David Bowie :P

[missboombastic]

GREAT live singer! so many artist sound stupid when they're singing live... but he's sooooo good!

[tunetesifulgere]

well when i listen to brians voice singing " i don't think you knoew you were in this song" it makes me cry my heart out. the lyrics are just brilliant and his voice and the guitar make this song very special. i wish somebody would sing me this. if this would heapen, i would just burst in tears.

[KaptenAwesome]

jag älskar dig / Pau

[Rachela507]

Great voice. Great artist (both)

[dimitr3li]

1:53 makes me ,like,i dunno...cry.

Well,i used to think brian was just a fag frontman of a mainstream group who fooled people.Now I know he's much more than that.He actually deserves the song.His voice is dreamy,it makes you travel along.He is an artist dudes.

[nancyyumi]

where is "I want you to walk"? B you lost it! xD

[AshtreyHeart]

Perfect! Nothing else to say.

[ilovePLACEBOx1000]

it makes me melt listening to Brian's voice .

this cover is just beautiful & perfect !

:)

[XxPureMourningxX]

firstly...this song is a legend. and it's a really great cover.

secondly...Brian Molko is just amazing...i couldn't think of anyone better to cover Bowie.

[coicoi1989]

five years....

[digitaltissue]

Love

[rengitmit]

Talent

[unsub00]

OMG!!!!!Amazing!

[maaatyldaaa]
