    To the best of my knowledge Placebo have never played a gig here or have they or does anyone know if they plan on coming to Ireland?

    They are playing a couple of gigs in England and Scotland in May can't understand why they wont play Ireland im sure they would sell out?

    As you're soon to be informed they played the Olympia, at least. It was a few years back.

    They're playing Oxegen, probably the bes reason to attend after Sigur Ros. If they're playing Oxegen they've gotta be playing another gig here too so I'd say its fairly certain they'll do a gig here this time round. There was a topic about this reallllly recently.

    Well I saw them at Witnness 2001 I think it was. Very good gig.

    new album is very good i have to say.. not amazing but better than their last. I'm very excited about this. Sigur Ros and placebo in the one day?!?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,709 ✭✭✭BolBill


    I saw them at the SFX, it was around the time of their second album, excellent band really.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,810 ✭✭✭lodgepole


    Didn't they play three gigs over the course of the year (I know they played at least two) when they released Without You I'm Nothing? And then Witnness a few years later. I think that was with Black Market Music. Did they tour Sleeping With Ghosts?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 361 ✭✭Redegg


    no they did not come here for it. grrrr.

    saw them several times here!
    They played Whealens before, they played the SFX, and they played the Olympia (only to stop when the roof started falling on them?!!)
    Wittness too I think


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 771 ✭✭✭spiderlegs

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 385 ✭✭selephonic

    yeah i was there for that gig, they brought down the house, unbelievable band live. I've seen them 4 times and they've always impressed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,135 ✭✭✭✭John


    They played Slane one year too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,070 ✭✭✭Placebo

    bruise%20pristine.jpg

    seen em at olympia 2000, not impressed with new album, not too bothered about oxygen. Does aNYONE have EYEM live version


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 771 ✭✭✭spiderlegs


    Wow that's cool*

    *Not that I think there was a competition but if there was one you just whipped everyone elses asses....:p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,070 ✭✭✭Placebo


    hahah goodbuzz,

    seriously though new album ?
    Meds, Blind, PostBlue = very good tracks
    but stuff like Drag seem like besides.

    its starting to grow on me but id put this last if i was to put them in order of amazingNess


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 771 ✭✭✭spiderlegs


    I haven't heard their new album yet so can't really give an honest opinion :o
    I know I know I'm terrible..I'll go bury my head in shame..
    Best Placebo album....Without You I'm Nothing
    Is their new album as electronicy as SWG?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,070 ✭✭✭Placebo


    yeah fairly electro, but songs like "Placebo-Pierrot_The_Clown" - wha ?
    Half of it is not placebo, theyve been gone for a long time and they just didnt come back with a big enough bang, i think the whole PLACEBO explosion in France/Germany leads to the whole sell out story [big headed]? not sure, i lost most of my intrest when they continued to play france/germany and dissed ireland. Followed by the release of SWG+BESIDES [ok fair enough] then the singles, then there was something else... lost interest.

    think albums out next week, worth a listen if youre a fan anyway
