Placebo - Nancy Boy (Jools Holland 1997)

[epicICYLfacial]

Your comments.... Douche bags.......

[pilldawse]

always one of my fav bands ever

[AcademicPistol]

They should have been bigger than Muse.

[TreacleMary]

@AcademicPistol Muse sacrificed alot of what made them great to get as big as they are now. I'd hate to imagine what Placebo would have turned into if they'd done the same.

[EpilepticGlossMusic]

@AcademicPistol totally agree, but they are big though still...

[onepinkrose]

Brian's a very under-rated frontman. He's brilliant in my book

[falsepriest2727]

favorite placebo performance of all time



[MancBalletShoes]

loved you since i was 12 brian, now im 23, still the same!! will always be my favourite band ever. xx

[TheHawkdude1]

saw them on the uk tour at the mayfair club newcastle it was an awesome night!

[colorsmadeoftears]

My, Brian makes one sexy lezzie... lol just saying. Loving that androgyny!

[rosalbina188]

and it all started with this song.. thank you placebo, thank you brian for these amazing 15 years of great music (and not only music, you've just paved the way for a new way to consider gender and sexuality)

[MrBigricksband]

great sound,,

[impcirca1988]

Candy bracelets on his mic XD

Brian is fucking legend

[21YEAH21]

he kind of looks like cameron diaz 

[aidy202]

@21YEAH21 that's a funny observation lol

[21YEAH21]

@aidy202 haha he does though don't you think? like similar facial structure or something

[aidy202]

@21YEAH21 Haha yeah man he actually does, same expressions or something too I think lol

[mohigney1]

get past the gender thing !!! this is a real fucking cracker!!!!

[71taralouise]

oohhh really mr molko xxxx

[ZukuRiot]

Soooo handsome... in a really weird way xD

[kuchinarai]

Long time since. Still super!

[Corpseyy]

2:02 that's not fun to watch or anything...

[cuntzloo]

His voice totally sounded like Geddy Lee of Ruch back then!

[MrBatemanpatrick]

I love this shit, especially when I'm drinking, wow, I'm speechless.

Fuckin Bad ass

[MrBatemanpatrick]

LOL

[MrCockSlut]

1.46 !!!!!!

[GinaSkinner]

Brian is kinda sexy though... :-]

[MrBatemanpatrick]

I am straight and would pretend like I'm a homo to hang out with Brian.

[MrCockSlut]

@MrBatemanpatrick is he gay? or is that a stupid question

[JakeLeeProductions]

@MrCockSlut He's bisexual :)

[MrCockSlut]

@JakeLeeProductions why the smiley face after, that makes it creepy

[JakeLeeProductions]

@MrCockSlut That was intentional. You SHOULD feel creeped out.

[stranglerkitty007]

proprietor of a totally amazing musical talent?

Are you for fucking real?You're taking the piss right?

What do you do when you really want to let rip and let your hair down...listen to tortoise sex-moan tapes?

[kmp3000]

This is the best Placebo track i think.

[djcarlwalker]

This song is so gay but i love it its filth and am straight

[xXRedrogOXx]

brian has gigantic eyelashes

[xXRedrogOXx]

i haven't heard this song before, me likey!

[MsxGini]

can't... watch... too... hot...

[NikNameOne]

Brian real guy!!!

[fmdjd]

more more more, i just can't get enough....seriously!! =)))

[frogdick8]

Placebo still reigns!

[TheFragilistic]

I don't want sex with Brian:) but I must admit that he is a proprietor of a totally amazing musical talent

[luthehappy7]

I love how top comments are the same thing :D

[MCBxx]

Brian Molko i love you!



[TheGirl0077]

woow...I think I love it :D..no...I know it :D

[hayleyquinn1]

To the 23 people that didn't like this was the sound fucked on you pc????!!!!!!! This the best band ever, Brian is a lyrical genius!!

[MrCrazyb23]

@hayleyquinn1 i like placebo, but seriously the best band ever? i can think of plenty better. record sales, acclaimed fans, influences on other bands and general quality of songs and albums from OTHER bands may push placebo off their highly acclaimed pedestal. lyrical genius? genius...err no. beethoven & mozart where musical genius'...i think brian has a long long way to even get close to seeing the faintest glimpse of the line set in stone by these two...and i don't even prefer classical music!

[hayleyquinn1]

@MrCrazyb23 Well for starters, I said lyrical genius, And if i recall Beethoven and Mozart didn't write lyrics or sing to that matter!! So how you can compare one of the best bands of our generation to them I don't know??? Plus the musical genre between them is way out!! I don't really think you know what you are talking about!! P.s I don't want to be bitchy. I'm just ans my opinion back. x

[MrCrazyb23]

@hayleyquinn1 i didn't say beethoven or mozart where lyrical genius', you said that...i think you need to re-read what i said. i just didn't provide examples of lyrical genius'..but if i were bob dylan, jim morrison, john lennon, john mellencamp, carole king...but really lyrics aren't genius compared to the music. and again with the "best bands" quote...i don't think YOU know what your talking about. record sales, cited influences, hits, acclaimed fans...no, if you intend to respond, read ALL.

[rosalbina188]

@MrCrazyb23 you can't compare musicians of the '60s- '70s to the modern situation. today people buy less records because of technology progress, but that doesn't mean contemporary music is bad (well, unless you consider jb!). taste can change because of age, so aif you ask a teenager, even if they're into rock, they would never say jim morrison or carole king are the best. at each his own

[MrCrazyb23]

@rosalbina188 no, you can't compare decades in terms of sales, but you can compare within the same decade. the 90's didn't see placebo reach out to the whole world...record sell outs to crowds, record sales through the roof etc.? in the 2000's? but when you say "best band ever" and "lyrical genius", i think you CAN compare...that's the metaphorical door "opening" @rosalbina188...and so i duly obliged. next time, don't be so hasty.

[rosalbina188]

@MrCrazyb23 first of all...hasty? what do u mean? maybe you're talking to the wrong person..

secondly, sales are figures, you can't escape.. while 'best band ever' is just an opinion, that can depend on things like age, country, education and so on. that's why i said 'at each his own'. anyway the world's large enough. peace.

[MrCrazyb23]

@rosalbina188 ...maybe i was.

[kmp3000]

Yes Yes Yes!!!!!!!

[RetroVanOfficial]

I love this song live, hes voice is so fucking AWESOME!...

[zeronova77]

Thats the most androgynous little fella

[e5ediesed]

what a nancy boy....

[ice9planet]

23 people broke down at the first rehearsal.

[MYSTICAFRO]

he has sweets on his microphone :3

[hasanybodygot]

Keep hitting 6

[Govanmauler]

They did make some pish music

but when they nailed ( particularly live ) they really fuckin nailed it !

[roogalater]

Placebo, a freakin powerhouse with a trillion volt electrified wall of sound, best thing to come out of the nineties. Their stuff still gives me the buzz it did back then.

[Krislights1]

Bry is cool! I nearly did, when he outed me...But he's also a Pro. Like me. And diddn't. Security in Portugal.. Tour Manager..On the search for Absynth.. I will have nothing bad said about Bry. He's cool. Mister popstar!!!!!!

[QuicklimeTime]

That is the best fucking bassline I have ever heard. Gotta love the Kerrang generation.

[xFluffyMuffinx]

He has these beautiful eyelashes *-*

[Keanemylife]

OMG he looks soooo adorable!! I want adopt him ;)

[spoofpig]

i was born in 1975 the ninetys fuckin rocked!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MartinMolko]

brian is a nancy boy, the sexiest one in the world

[mickenoss]

So fucking ahead of their time, they should have been so much more popular!

[nottura]

oh fuck i didn't even excist when this came out (if this came at 90's beginning) and i love them (---:

[healeysvids]

Can't stop listening to Placebo at the moment, Love them!

[sethpin67]

They should have stayed like that, as a trio. Five's a crowd.

[philkearney0577]

i remember when this first landed it was so original and unlike anything else at the time when britpop ruled and everything was samey.Have seen them many times over the years,always a class act live happy memorys..

[MsMagicalCat]

God I saw this band on a tiny stage in Glastonbury,think it was 97?mud bound in a poncho...lol mud up to the waist+a huge joint in my mouth..lol.Placebo played to hardly any of us+they were GREAT!! I knew they were meant for big things,,Brian Molko is great,cheers for this

[candugi]

dude!! he looks like rachel weisz... 2:11

[wickeedbone13]

@candugi  true!! true!!

[Volver888]

@candugi

I had the same thought... LOL. 

[CFHG00]

i remember watching this performance live on tv on the friday night when i was 14 n goin into school on the monday morning n us debating whether the singer was a chick or a guy lol. awsome sounds....thanks for putting this particular vid up...good memories!! :)

[MarilynMolkoLove]

Baby Brian = absolutely adorable and amazing

Soooooo fucking cute,

[carcrashstar93]

that bass is DELICIOUS.

[MrNoobonen]

Great song : D

[margaretkaPL]

Love long-hair Brian ♥

[KawiKaRs]

She's coming over me.

[NoWitnessesNoRegrets]

Groovy Fuck3rs

[ArghBlahr]

Why are musicians in general so skinny?

[NoWitnessesNoRegrets]

@ArghBlahr Im guessing its copious amounts of drugs ang gigs

[scraftonthebadger]

@ArghBlahr Because we're cool.

[javelin60]

:38 sec - Oh my lord He is prettier that many of my female friends! 

[brabbitte]

@2:23 the bass player messes up! Still a great song!

[anniscalling]

the tension in this performance...

[Samarasix]

brian molko very pretty boy,i love you!!!

[newyorkment]

I was in 1st grade when this came out. oh, and Brian Molko is bisexual, look it up. get your facts straight.

[ABoi555]

"Nancy Boy" MEANS gay...duh. Most str8s need skoolin'...nancy boiz rock the f*ck outta the house.

[WeskersLady]

@ABoi555

He's not gay. He's bi.

[TheAnjaundso]

[savourelerouge]

Fabuleux comme toujours

[BeamingLeutzz]

Baby-Brian!! How CUUUTE!!! <3

[beforethree]

left handed drummer S Hewitt ! he s great, i prefer him to the new one but its my opinion.

[bouwiik]

this song makes me go craaaaaaazyyy ! brian's the One <3

[eXPerienceyeah]

Drums @ 2:25 would make most "good" drummers light headed.

[beefcurtains67]

She's hot.

[nickthelick]

A friend (or rather acquaintance) of mine was shagging him about 12 years or so ago. He was in his mid to late 20s, she was 14! (She looked a lot older, a "wild child" an all that!)... lucky bitch! lol... XOD

[jouetdudestin]

should I be concerned if I like the girly Brian as a girl?

[oplasznik]

he is gay.... but the song very good

[tradjick]

@oplasznik actually he's openly bi and why does that have any bearing on the music? lose the "but"

[gemarcher83]

@oplasznik He's not gay.

[blupbezem]

brian molko has 2 amps how is that possible ??? a fender where i wanna know what type of and a marshall tube ??

[gonewiththesin1971]

Use your ears (that's the most important thing in music) and then after that, your eyes (if you want that so bad)...

[missyshanny007]

[aalexbotas]

PLACEBO

[B23ND4N]

Alkoholic kind of mood...

[Tk0wns09]

early placebo reminds me of sonic youth so much

[LoveLasers]

Voice sucks=(

[blacknesquik]

awesome best placebo song !

[likexanxoutlaw13]

Steve Hewitt's hair...! Hahahaha sooo 90's!

[ArturDis94]

Brian good old times...

[mahalkita8545]

I wish I was there. But no, I was just starting preschool wasn't I? Fucking parents could'nt concieve me 10 years earlier..

[JackRaspin92]

@mahalkita8545 dude i've said that so many times to my parents - i'm 18 and feel i missed it all!!

[coraline641]

@mahalkita8545 You could take an active approach to this feeling and create your own music. Make what you want to hear :)

[sevsmina]

@mahalkita8545 I totally agree with you...

[Kento617]

@mahalkita8545 ROFL! I was 4 and im 18 now. Why did everything good had to be in the 90's? Dang it man!

[boggiemanx]

@mahalkita8545 haha u mad fuk

[jaminjaminjaminjamin]

NICE... I also doing music.. please listen to swedish tunes

[chinaski7777]

the beginning of this song is fu**ing stunning!

[ex0genesis]

This was the first ever placebo song I heard too, and it changed my life.

[Julie3476]

This is poetry...

[CamaleaoCatatonico]

First album is amazing, This was Placebo! This was the concept. The power! Now it's a money maker.

[oldphoque]

They make great music whatever . Just wish they would stop pushing the isue and make a rock album like they were made to doas people rather than poor bleeding gays. I could be more harsh. Just pick up your toys and play boys!

[fohawk31]

@oldphoque Hes Bi, you have a problem with people writing songs about men but not women?

[VegaValentino]

Well sorry idon't think it whas onley one?

but valentino whas the onley guy i heard he had relationship whit. but i think molko is more into girls than boys! but god bless that

[marclb]

Dont matter wich band you watch seems to me anything played on that Jools Holland show is world class performances !

[vititoloko]

es un marica

[donmarqui]

@vititoloko como tú

[LiiLpRiiNcEsSs]

i love the song. some lines might seem wrong like "different partners every night" but if you listen very close, the song tells you to be yourself, and to be confident, especially about your sexuality, and also to "misbehave" about the boy or girl thing, and just to do what you like, like wearing makeup as a man. it tells you not only to follow the fixed pattern of our society. just love whom you want to love and be yourself, be happy about who you are! ♥

[VegaValentino]

"he whas almost like a girl, a nancy boy"

vincent valentino, lover and rockstar.

molko onley had one male lover and his name whas vincent valentino a rockstar poet.

Man vince had good taste in both men and women damn!

[pinkthunderwonder]

@VegaValentino only one!?

[Sigymega]

his voice is so androgynous

[thewhitenoiseproject]

Fuck Placebo were awesome. What a great band.

[OkoPrawdy]

To be sincere: I don't like "Nancy Boy" just because the lyrics tells about the lifestyle I hate. "Different partner every night"?? No, thanks, it's not for me. I will never understand it. I prefer something like "Blind" or "Because I want you" WYIN, Special K, Slave to the wage, Soulmates, Infra-Red, Every You, Every Me and all songs from the BFTS

[C0ldLightOfM0rning]

Amazing live! Love Brian so much on this video ♥

[akhi1983]

Horrible Hair-Situation...

[Ahgrume]

@akhi1983 Oh no i don't think so ^^ Its just Brian's style and Brian is always class :p

[Ahgrume]

@akhi1983 Oh no i don't think so ^^ Its just Brian's style and Brian is always class :p

[AbyssEndless]

@Ahgrume It was also the 90's...
