He practically hits every note as far as I can tell.
Beyond that, there isn't much they can do about the sound once they're already up and on the stage.
Why don't you try to see how difficult it really is to stand in front of thousands of people, dripping in sweat and playing song after song while singing and we'll see how you do.
He does pretty well in those circumstances, once compared to the actual impeccable studio recording.
@JosiahSCooper i dont care about the fuckin circumstances. he plays sloppy. word. i didnt say i cared. i like the song very much, i woulda gone crazy if they had played it when i saw them in cologne (they didnt......). but still he aint the greatest guitar player. i think olsdal is a way better musician. still he is a great songwriter and has great charisma.
@cssNuramoN i wouldn't call it sloppy. maybe he just has his own style, don't you think? i've played guitar since i was 9 years old (now i'm 16) in professional music school and i'm learning from Brian!
Placebo are the Best Band ever!!!! Brian´s amazing voice and that guitar performance is so damn Brilliant!!!He is simply a great genius!!! Placebo forever and ever in my mind.;-))
This Placebo-sound doesn´t exist anymore, I think it´s sad because THIS is Placebo when they are at the best. Yeah sure the newer songs are OK but the old ones are the best, especially this version!
@Mole821 Have you or anybody else noticed a difference in Brian's voice since 2009 or is it just me? I mean isn't it a little bit more...I don't know...coarse and less nasal?
I don´t think so...Brian´s voice is always the same, but possibly He had simply the desire something to change.And he sing deliberately a little different...everybody knows that he do it sometimes and that is in any case perfectly okay. Because his voice is so damn exciting ... she is and she remains very exciting !!!!! Best wishes to you!!!;-))
@kassiopaya81 Maybe you're right! I believe he is incredibly gifted and he has really such a great range in his voice! Plus we know Brian is going through an experimental phase. And Battle for the sun is the typical example of that...
That's the way I see it also. He is a fucking genius!!! He is going through an experimental phase and i find it is also good that way. Because I love it when people repeatedly come up with new things! So it will never boring! The word "boring" is also miles away from Brian, to be exact ... Brian is exactly the opposite of boring!!!!!! That's my opinion and I think, not just my,or???
@Mole821 It is a pity that you think so!!!! But i think all songs from Placebo whether old or new are amazing!!! But i can understand what you mean....I liked too when he still was more rebellious and simply did on the stage what he want. As for example when he kissed Stef, or Brian and Stef´s Gay dancing and so much more what has completely impressed me!! As said, I can understand you but i like the "new" Placebo too!!! Best regards !! ;-)) >Placebo Forever<
Every time I here the beginning of this song my hand balls up into a fist, and I'm lucky if I'm not crying by the end... I love the song but there are times I just can't handle it.
My love , my blood, my soul, my wounds, my youngness, my pain , time lost, misunderstandings, loneliness, my bloody beauty ... all of this is in this song.
Placebo is my life.
Brian is such a passionate man ... it's so obvious that he perform this song from the depth of his heart and soul!!
@sinhro1 Can't agree more that that....When I go to their concert after 2 days, 4 hours and 43 minutes...I'll definately cry. A lot! It'd be like....touching the sun - unforgettable, burning, beautiful and...
@comfortablynumbb Stef says the song is about Heroin in this recent Australian festival interview, youtube search: 'Placebo- Backstage at Soundwave - Stefan Olsdal Interview'.
Brian is not only gorgeous on the outside but he also has a certain quality about him that causes me to catch myself fantasizing about him when I'm trying to fall asleep at night...
AMAZING UPLOAD, this song makes me sad and think about things, i love that distinctive placebo sound and brian molko's voice on this song fits so perfectly recorded and live, my FAVOURITE placebo song and it just gives me goosebumps and butterflies everytime i hear it, i have sooo much love for this band and i am always amazed by the endless amount of great songs that they consistently produce. i will love placebo for ever. <3 <3 <3
yesterday they were just perfect!!!!!! they promoted their new album playing mostly their new hits!!!and they didn't play this awesome song...it's just my favourite!!! what a melody is this?can't be real! it's source is divine!
I can't WAIT to see them at Rock am Ring in June. This song touches me...Placebo got the ability to accomplish something most bands just cannot. Truly love the music.
oufffff k egw 8elw na paw rockwave gia tous placebo..alla eimai stou diaolou ti mana, ston ebro..eimai kai 15..alla den peirazei, erxontai k tourkia..;D BRIAN MOLKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 8eos!!
I'm a massive Plaecbo fan, although a couple of the more recent albums have moments of filler, WYIM remains insanely good. This song for me is when Brian Molko let all the pretentiousness go and he ended up writing a classic that everyone can appreciate. The song is outstanding and remains their best song to date in my opinion.
This band makes me feel alive and my adrenalin starts pumping as soon as I hear them. This song is my favourite and takes me back to living in Amsterdam.
First Placebo show I've seen. Ah, memories.
