I've only ever heard "gets under your skin" to mean something irritating and the dictionary even uses voice as an example. The dictionary states - get under (one's) skin 1. To become a source of irritation. I just can't stand Dean's voice, so everything he says gets under my skin.
Nancy boy was ahead of its time. Absolutely adore Placebo. Unique band that I don’t hear enough about. Lyrics are poetry and nostalgic. Their sound will always transport me to another dimension.
I’m in the US and they’re my favorite band. But I did move here from Europe. I’ve seen them many times in Vegas and LA and I’ll be seeing them again this coming tour. They’re the best!
And yes. Placebo holds up. As we get older we grow less and less likely to discover another new favorite band. Discovered them in my 20s and they are still one of my absolute favorite bands. This album is amazing.
I love when a band still manages to give me a new favorite song, even after being active for decades. Usually my favorite song is from the earliest days, but Placebo gave me ''Beautiful James'' and ''Went Missing''. Their entire discography ages like wine to me.
I loved them from their 1st album and particularly this song. They happened at a time when I thought punk was nothing but history repeating. Thank you for deconstructing one of my favourite bands into F majors and evil B's. Am a happy C now.
It’s forever good. The world needs amazing people like Brian Molko unsettling people. Our 5 year old son has (very) long hair and other kids frequently refuse to believe he’s a boy. That’s where we are. Still, in 2022. Some friends of ours son is the same, a bit older, and he’s been asked if he’s transitioning, before simply being a boy with long hair. So yes. Relevant song. Relevant band. Always.
As a young man I loved anything aggressive, anything violent, I liked old metal, "nu-metal", gangsta rap, from both coasts, anything with an edge. But the minute I heard Placebo I had to admit, it spoke to the inner emo inside of me. Great band, still making great music.
Placebo are a fantastic band,there's a great dvd live in Paris,it's sublime. Great live band. Special K and black eyed,and bitter end are fantastic songs.
I want to thank you for recommending their cover of Bigmouth Strikes again! I've been a fan of Placebo for many years and Bigmouth Strikes Again is one of my favorite Smiths songs, and I didn't even know they covered it. It was great, thanks again!
all their covers were very well done. Great track choices and usually put their own soul into it. They did such a diverse and crazy amount of demo's too, from Morrissey to Syd Barett and what else
I just stumbled across this video, I enjoyed it, as Nancy Boy DEFINITELY holds up, as does every single Placebo song. They’re often ahead of their time. The Meds album (06) is one of the greatest albums I’ve had the pleasure or enjoying
Found them before this summer laying awake at 4am depressed and spotify shuffle puts on you dont care about us and i had to listen to the entire without you im nothing album and that shit was the freshest thing, talking about actual relatable things while the instruments themselves are being played so fucking well at the same time. It's like professional angst. I needed it so badly right then.
Great stuff Juzzo. I first heard "Pure Morning" and I was hooked by Placebo straight away. I also thought at the time "who are these stoners?" with the fuzzy guitar and the weed reference. I then discovered it was just a string to their bow in the uniqueness that is Placebo. So good.
Brian Molko has one of my favorite voices ever. Together with Freddie Mercury, David Bowie, George Michael, Chirs Corner, Billy Corgan, Brian Aubert, Adam Lambert, and of course, Justin Hawkins.
Superb band, superb track. I've followed them since this came out and still love them. Enjoy their newer stuff too and looking forward to seeing them in Cambridge in December
I love placebo. I honestly appreciate them more now than I did then. Their music really embodies the time it was made in but it's also got this authenticity that makes it completely timeless. Begin the end and special needs are my absolute favorites. Brian Molko has such a beautiful understated intensity in his vocals.
I love your breakdown of different songs, some I'd never have listened to otherwise. I'm coming up on a month sober now and your videos remind me of the goal. Thanks!
Placebo was a band that helped me through many phases of my life. Their topics of drug abuse, physical abuse, sexuality, etc. were well explored and are written so poetically it couldn’t help but touch my soul.
I totally forgot about this video and band! I remember thinking the guy's wide smile was just like in the Black Hole Sun video. And yea the song still holds up. Thanks Justin 😉
these are just the best videos Justin. I absolutely love them and you are giving me a new insight to these songs that I loved when I was younger. Brilliant!
Yayyyy placebo is like no other they are amazing , I am not so much into their new songs, but their was very present in a very specific time of my life and i still thing they are super unique and amazing band
Love Placebo big part of my childhood in a strange way. My Dad was an actor/director in Melbourne Australia. I remember he and a bunch of acting buddies performing a Placebo song as part of one of their shows. I am pretty sure the pianist my dad worked with knew Brian Molko.
They are very talented both Brian and Stefan love what they do in the 90's there wasn't a band like them their new album is pretty good also.Fantastic band
Yes, "both Brian and Stefan love what they do". I totally agree. The soundscapes they create are fantastic. I enjoy reading about how they are still fascinated with instrumentation and arrangements. The layering provides a great accompaniment to Brian's voice while also allowing space for the guitars to kick in for extra dramatic effect.
Thanks again for another crackin vid lad! God bless my older sister for introducing me to Placebo.. I was wondering what it was like working with Weezer.. I kinda knew you'd worked on the track before I checked the booklet, that track has a massive Darkness-y vibe to it. Still wondering what you make of Dinosaur Jr or J Mascis stuff :)
I've adored them since the first Album and finally FINALLY seeing them in December. I'm so excited I could pee. You know those musicians that ya really want to thank for "being there" through your life, for being the soundtrack to some of your fondest and in some cases darkest memories but the music helped you through. That's how I feel about them. Huge appreciation.
Placebo are my favourite band ever!! Brian strings his guitar F#A#D#G#CC to get that unique sound. They're musical genius. Every album is all killer no filler. Thanks Justin! ☺️☺️
I Looooooove Placebo one of my all time favorite bands , I was introduced to them in 2010 they have definitely carved a part of themselves deep within my heart and morphed within my soul, I can't go a day without listening to at least one song or two to get my day started
Don't drive that much, but when I do, listening to alt-rock radio, this is an absolute staple. Brilliant stuff, and yes, the bass really ties the song together. 25 years? Eh, I feel old now.
finally Placebo talk here on this channel 🤘🏽. I’ve actually occasionally commented on a couple of previous videos and “voted” for the band’s stuff to be the subject in the future along with other viewers. now i hope that this video will lead into reviewing some of the newest output, ‘cause the latest album turned out to be reeeaally good. find it to remain in my “rotation” quite often since it was released in March and have the potential to be one of my personal favourites of all discography alongside with Sleeping With Ghosts, Without You I’m Nothing and other classics.
Placebo are just fantastic. Black Market Music was my introduction to them, and I've been hooked since. They have to release a dud album. The newest continues the trend of awesome.
I love this band , the total lack of guitar solo bullshit and just creating music with melodic vocals over pummelling guitars and drums is just fantastic
I love Placebo, this song is solid. This is super awesome Stefan Olsdal is always on point with his bass, it's exactly what the bass should be, just bloody blood beat "pulse!" Under Brian's belligerent guitar and singing. It's awesome! This was awesome. All their covers are awesome too! Much love to you Mr. Hawkins ♡!
Can't wait to see them in Paris next week ! I love this band for years now thanks to my older sister. The last time I saw them was for their anniversary tour in 2016... Although I really started to listen to them with Battle for the Sun, one of my favorite albums is still the first one. So young, fresh, full of anger and love. I think my favorite song of this album is 36 degrees :)
Justin my man! I used to blast your music on my mp3 back in the day. I'm glad to be reunited with you. God bless you and the best of luck. respect from Serbia.
There are a lot of bands I listened to in my youth that I'm embarrassed about and can't listen to now (hello limp bizcuit) I actually love placebo more now than I ever have. Amazing band.
Today I needed motivation to continue my workout. Fortunately, I had downloaded I Believe in a Thing Called Love, and sang loudly, powering through my sit-ups. Also, I smiled thinking of this channel, so thank you!
I think Placebo are alright 9 out of 10 times you see them live. HOWEVER, if you see them that 1 out of 10 when Brian is fully connected, you'll probably see one of the best live acts in your life.
At 5:37 that breakdown you show sounds like the start to Boys Don't Cry. Or am I just hearing things, as my ear is not as tuned as yours? When I was a drummer, I always hit my crash behind my head too 🙂. Where else would it be? Although, at the first show I ever played, at a house party, 2 days after sitting behind a kit for the first time and learning the songs, my floor tom slid behind me as we played because of a terrible rug on the floor, and you just have to go with it. My stage fright was so bad , but I just had to laugh. Ah ....early 90s memories! Thanks, you always seem to bring me back good memories.
Justin, two wee questions for comments day. You are a very dapper dresser (both on stage and in civi life) and have an admirable aesthetic appreciation of clothing and style. How has your personal style evolved over the years (on/off stage)? Secondly, where do you generally acquire your clobber? Tailor made? Vintage? Designer? Charity shops? M&S? Whatever, it’s all utterly glorious ❤ (she said, clad in Primark joggers, a Prince t-shirt, and a cardigan that fell apart years ago😂)
I literally just bought my tkts for Placebo Saturday in Zürich! Nice coincidence ❤ Brian Molko is definitely one of the greatest, such an unique persona.
I remember they supported Prodigy on the Fat of the Land tour, as Prodigy were trying to be more of a rock act than a dance act. This was in Glasgow and unsurprisingly all the weegie ravers booed Placebo as they took the stage, and continued through their first song. Moloko ran off the stage, looked like he was in tears. To his credit he did come back on after a few mins and continue the set, felt kinda sorry for them.
Being an adopted son of Dundee, Brian knew that he has being asked to play in hell. Mrs M’s reassurances “I am sure it will be fine. Stop worrying.” seemed to have been horribly misjudged for the first two minutes. Poor guy.
I saw The Darkness play Irving Plaza in 2003 (amazing show) and my recollection was that it was some sort of showcase for “executives.” After the show you came out to meet some folks, but I distinctly remember you and Dan switched shirts and you had his signature Thin Lizzy shirt on. Any recollection on why you guys switched outfits?
1:58 it is a detuned thing, but not tuned down. a lot of their stuff is in F A# D# G# C c. I believe they took inspiration from Sonic Youth on that one. You can hear the doubled up C strings clearly on Without You I’m Nothing, gives it a really lush drone. 7:55 both Placebo and Weezer used the Marshall 6100LM, which is the 30th Anniversary model. Idk when Weezer used their’s, but the 6100LM for the dirty (and some fuzz boxes) and a Twin for the clean is what was used for the first Placebo album.
I remember watchihng Placebo at T In The Park 2001 not knowing too much about them and was absolutely blown away. Hands down the tightest rhythm section at the whole festival!
Placebo are one of them bands you just don't confuse with any other band, they are unique.
Exactly ❤️
Much like the Wiggles!
@@andysalter7192 Hahahaha!! Oh man, you made me look up the Wiggles!! For this, I cannot forgive you!! 🤣🤪😁
I mean, based on this song, I could confuse them with pretty much every rock band from the 90s
Is their whole discography like this?
A three piece where the singer is a dick? Been done before and since.
Placebo is my favorite band. Molko’s voice goes under your skin. His lyrics and vocal delivery are just divine. They really need more praise
Check out Volbeat, his voice is immense.
@@richardjones2811 no
His voice is very distinctive.
I've only ever heard "gets under your skin" to mean something irritating and the dictionary even uses voice as an example.
The dictionary states - get under (one's) skin
1. To become a source of irritation.
I just can't stand Dean's voice, so everything he says gets under my skin.
It's only the placebo effect
Placebo's cover version of Running Up That Hill is superb. I love them.
Better than the original. There, I said it. Sorry, Kate.
@@iampob I honestly prefer their cover to the original. Just my opinion, of course.
@@mez7736 but my favourite one is still the one with David Gilmour
@@mez7736 I agree.
I think it might be my favourite cover ever.
Nancy Boy is great, but Teenage Angst is 2 minutes and 35 seconds of perfection.
Since I was born I started to decay ... Wow
These guys have made history and touch so many souls with their intimate (but straight forward) music.
Absolutely, nothing wrong with Nancy Boy, but there’s far better tracks on their debut album.
The drumming on the album is superb 🤘
@@Luis.SanSebastian.Gallejones that line kept me from offing myself.
I have loved them from the beginning and have never stopped.
Nancy boy was ahead of its time. Absolutely adore Placebo. Unique band that I don’t hear enough about. Lyrics are poetry and nostalgic. Their sound will always transport me to another dimension.
My favorite Placebo song is Every You Every Me....gives me chills!
Placebo are CRIMINALLY ignored here in the USA….they are one of my favorite bands. “Sleeping With Ghosts” is one of my desert island disks for sure.
No, they are DESERVEDLY ignored.
@@decodynamo Lol.
2023 US tour! Seeing them at least twice lol
I’m in the US and they’re my favorite band. But I did move here from Europe. I’ve seen them many times in Vegas and LA and I’ll be seeing them again this coming tour. They’re the best!
They sadly don't tour here is sadness. They don't have a wide audience here and i love them.
I was introduced to Placebo with Pure Morning. I remember David Bowie raving about them at the time.
Bowie does a guest vocal on the same album Without You I'm Nothing, hence the raving.
Somehow, Placebo has managed to stay relevant with old & new teen fans over those 25yrs. Still can headline the big main festivals worldwide.
I think its cause THE SINGERS sound is so good...it cant be imitated.
@@teddybears4life240 just take estrogen and hold your nose and you sound like him
Really?
I don't think they can. They were relevant up until 2009 at most. Then they started releasing a bunch of lousy, uninspired records
.
@@TheVioletBunny good advice. Now please let me know how to sound like a dick. You seem like an expert.
And yes. Placebo holds up. As we get older we grow less and less likely to discover another new favorite band. Discovered them in my 20s and they are still one of my absolute favorite bands. This album is amazing.
Been listening since I was 12 or 13. They're still one of my favorites. Timeless. 😁

Special K and black eyed,and bitter end are fantastic songs.
One of my favorite bands ever. Their music is so powerful, unique and beautiful
Thanks Justin for sharing this classic with us. Placebo like Goldfrapp hasn't aged at all. Perennial keepers!
Good call I re-discovered Goldfrapp again recently 👌🏻👏
Justin talking about Placebo! My favorite band 🖤
Placebo is just a wonderful wall of wonderful sound.
Nancy boy..... Love it 💜 3 days ago I've seen Placebo in Milan and..... thet still rock A LOT 🤘
I want to thank you for recommending their cover of Bigmouth Strikes again! I've been a fan of Placebo for many years and Bigmouth Strikes Again is one of my favorite Smiths songs, and I didn't even know they covered it. It was great, thanks again!
Oh how I miss the 90's indie alternative rock disco dance floors. That neck move was spot on. 10/10 Justin.
Their cover of The Pixies - Where is my mind is so good
all their covers were very well done. Great track choices and usually put their own soul into it.
They did such a diverse and crazy amount of demo's too, from Morrissey to Syd Barett and what else

I “stumbled” across this while looking at old videos of Placebo and since have watched countless hours of Justin Hawkins Rides Again 😂
Massive Placebo fan here. I love their unique sound and Brian Molko is just gorgeous 💜
Found them before this summer laying awake at 4am depressed and spotify shuffle puts on you dont care about us and i had to listen to the entire without you im nothing album and that shit was the freshest thing, talking about actual relatable things while the instruments themselves are being played so fucking well at the same time.

I love this band too ❤
I absolutely loved Brian's vocals, it was very androgynous thus impounding their messages in the song's. Totally forgot about this gem of a track to.
Would love to hear you break down Every You, Every Me by Placebo. Just think it would be fascinating to hear your take on its rhymes.
Great stuff Juzzo.
I first heard "Pure Morning" and I was hooked by Placebo straight away.
I also thought at the time "who are these stoners?" with the fuzzy guitar and the weed reference.

Great debut album. I love "Bionic" particularly. Such a beautiful riff/solo ("Hang on to your IQ" too).
Their debut is wonderfully raw before the remix and remaster. Amazing Album
This is why I still buy physical media.
Recorded in Dublin, Ireland.
Still one of my go to tunes, I'm going through a 90's phase and as soon as I hear this I'm right back in my youth.
I love placebo. I honestly appreciate them more now than I did then. Their music really embodies the time it was made in but it's also got this authenticity that makes it completely timeless. Begin the end and special needs are my absolute favorites. Brian Molko has such a beautiful understated intensity in his vocals.
"honestly appreciate them more now than I did then"
totally agree.
Been listening to Placebo for 25 years (since the womb basically) so happy you made this vid on Nancy Boy
Great track, reminded me to listen to another classic of theirs I haven't heard for a while 'Pure Morning', love that one!
I've been a massive placebo fan for years but never knew of their Big Mouth Strikes Again cover!! So cheers for that knowledge!
I love your breakdown of different songs, some I'd never have listened to otherwise. I'm coming up on a month sober now and your videos remind me of the goal. Thanks!
Placebo was a band that helped me through many phases of my life. Their topics of drug abuse, physical abuse, sexuality, etc. were well explored and are written so poetically it couldn’t help but touch my soul.
Nancy Boy is a timeless tune. Will never get old
don't know what's better, the musical insight, the banter, or the outfits damn lol so much to savour, loving your work :D
The bassline and bass sound in this brings me out in uncontrollable air bass moves!
I absolutely love every single one of your videos. Short, sweet and fun EVERYTIME.
I totally forgot about this video and band! I remember thinking the guy's wide smile was just like in the Black Hole Sun video. And yea the song still holds up. Thanks Justin 😉
I have been hoping for a video on Placebo! Amazing band, especially live. The new material is great, too.
Their 2nd album I think sounded like their creative peak. WYIN is pure spikey brilliance from start to finish and flows so effortlessly.
Placebo is honestly in the top of my favorite bands. His voice is something dreamy and their sound is so original 💜💊
Such perfect timing! Seeing Placebo tomorrow for the first time :) saying a prayer for all my iriver mp3 players RIP
I saw the thumbnail and before I hear your epic jingle, I have to say, it'll always be good.
these are just the best videos Justin. I absolutely love them and you are giving me a new insight to these songs that I loved when I was younger. Brilliant!
"Is This Song Still Good?!"
100% yes. Their gig is going to be awesome tomorrow!!
They’re coming to Dublin in December! I can’t bloody wait!!

7:55 both Placebo and Weezer used the Marshall 6100LM, which is the 30th Anniversary model. Idk when Weezer used their’s, but the 6100LM for the dirty (and some fuzz boxes) and a Twin for the clean is what was used for the first Placebo album.
I love Nancy Boy. I sing it for karaoke all the time lol
Still love placebo ever since the mid 90s. Their new album is fab
I remember watchihng Placebo at T In The Park 2001 not knowing too much about them and was absolutely blown away. Hands down the tightest rhythm section at the whole festival!
