don't like molko's look here... good performance but (as a heterosexual male) i am no longer confusingly attracted to him... er maybe i shouldn't be saying this out loud?
Steve Hewitt's drumming was far more subtle..... Forrest's style is very energetic but straight forward. My opinion is that Hewitt was underrated in what he added to Placebo.....
@userpatch yes you're right, Forrest is very energetic but it's fine, it adds more to the style, their sound has changed a bit. I also loved Hewitt's style, their sound was kinda more precious but I still can't realize which one i like more as I'm a placebo addict
i like how he makes it faster...reminds me of songs like the day before you came (i think that's what it's called), bruised pristine, and brickshit house, etc.
This song let's me cry :')

This is a very good version of bionic but the best of the best in my poor opinion is the one from Soulmates never die concert, Paris 2003.

Forrest is just a placebo. Hewitt was the real thing.

their older stuff is wayy better. battle for the sun sucks dick. and placebo will neva be as good without steve hewitt

@ shutler87 I agree. I can't say the album "sucks dick", but it certainly isn't nearly as good as Self-Titled or WYIN

drummer is straight and drumming is def not as stylish as the former steve hewitt.

I really want to hear 36 degrees though...& I dont mean the slower version they've played. The old, faster, origi. [:

forrest adds a more rocky fast effect to there songs live though which is awsome!!!!!! the drummer has changed their speed slighly and i love it.

@userpatch I agree. He's a much more showy drummer and Hewitt's was more artful I guess you could say.
