Placebo

[Kowalski]

Can't believe somebody threw a pair of scissors at him, that's shocking.

[Johnny Mac]

Aye, what a tool.

I was only there to see them too, so would have been mighty pissed off if they hadn't come back on.

[rozwell]

I knew they would come back on

But a pair of scissors is shocking. Hope everyone gave him a right bollocking.

[saraha]

I hoped they would come back on... shows there were no proper bag checks coming into the festival then, didn't even glance in mine at all. Honestly fancy throwing scissors

[greenqueen]

omg thats shocking didnt realise that had happened maybe its to do with his sexuality but why go watch him its sickining aint it i thot he was feckin awsum on top form

[Paul ™]

See Jim's post, they were actually left on stage by a crew member

[pinkartstudent]

I had only just got into the tent when it happened after watching Biffy, was not impressed at all

[babsy1983]

yeah i was so f**kin pissed off when it happened, they were the reason for me buying my ticket, if ye dont like placebo no-one is forcing you into the tent!! So happy these guys came back, they were superb

[Paul ™]

the scissor thing was a missunderstanding apparently. i was by the stage when it happened and their tour manager said that someone threw something on stage and when brian looked down he saw a small pair of scissors and thought someone had thrown then at him. i think we'd all be a bit pissed off if that happened to us so he left the stage briefly to speak to his tour manager and security. whats transpired is that the scissors had been left on stage by one of the crew and this led to the confusion.

[babsy1983]

oh well thats something, altho there were still folk chuckin bottles and shite at them too, no need for it at all!!

the funniest thing about it was after they came back on and asked people not to throw stuff onto the stage. someone immediately threw a cup of beer onto the stage. classic. dont play at a festival if you dont expect stuff to be getting thrown about. scissors is a bit too far, but as people were saying they were never thrown.

looked like a spoilt kid storming off like that. goon.

[swd56]

i think the prick who threw the scissors should have been found and beat to death!what sort of human would do that to another?scum like that should not be at festivals!gutted they didnt play bitter end,nancy boy or running up that hill!

Whether the scissors were actually thrown is irrelevant. He THOUGHT someone threw scissor at him and therefore left the stage. Being worried about ones SAFETY does NOT make one a diva, it was a justifiable act. Though, I must say I am not at all surprised people are calling him a spoiled brat and a diva for doing that, I bet at least one douche would call him that even if he was severely injured

Random w*nker fan: WHAT A DIVA!

You're pissed because of 10 minutes? Seriously? Lol...

Did anyone ever consider that maybe they didn't plan on playing an encore at all?

I think that Brian was perfectly justified to walk of of stage if thats what he thought had happend. And you couldnt really expecty someone of that status to admit to a sily mistake about something being thrown so fair anough him telling the crowd not to throw anything.

But that was shocking that they didnt play their full set.... Some fo us have waited years to see placebo(like me) and then we find that they done play nancy boy, pure morning or the bitter end. For that i am anoyed, not because brian stormed off the stage.

but anyway...

forgive and forget.

[pewpewpew]

Well, they don't play Nancy Boy or Pure Morning at all anymore anyway, so you didn't miss a thing. I don't get what's the big deal about missing just a few minutes anyway...

[Jeebs]

Most of the headliners finished a bit early anyway.

[Da_J_Doc-~]

I understand why he left the stage, but why when he learned the truth did he not play a complete set, they finished about 10 minutes early! I'm a fan, I paid alot of money to see them. No-one did anything wrong why not play an encore?
