Placebo was the first gig I ever went too. I even made it to the video of Every You Every Me. :P

I'd go and see them if they were playing although I haven't really got into their stuff since Black Market Music.

I would love to see them play but don't think they ever have at Glastonbury? Not sure but they havent in the last 4 years thats for sure. Brilliant live band. Meds is a superb album and I like their lastest effort

Excellent live band. saw them at Rockness last yesr, unfortunately Brian stormed off stage, ranting that someone had thrown a pair of scissors at him ,and that his safety could not be guaranteed . He came back after ten minutes......... it appears the scissors were left there by one of the roadies!

Great gig though... and loud as f**k!

Normally I'm with you 100% Ivan but in this case I have to disagree.

Placebo are one of the worst bands of all time.

I saw them a few weeks ago at Soundwave Festival in Adelaide, South Australia.

They were awful!!!

Boring to watch, and the sound was disgraceful.

It was quite disappointing as i quite like their records, but at this show they sucked.

Maybe they just had an off day.

I'd be happy to see them

They've always been great live when I've seen them, and after Meds I though Battle for the Sun was a return to form. Though I would agree that it doesn't quite top the first 3 albums. Still they're a fun band and I go find them, were they to play.

would love it! I thought they were really good at reading last year. was gutted i couldn't make it to their tour.

Unfortunately i think they're a Sonisphere exclusive?

EDIT: aye - http://uk.sonispherefestivals.com/2010/01/...-for-knebworth/

      Yeah I did spot that AXS had more available for the O2 shows Muse are doing, though I think that comes with the territory of AXS now being the venue's primary ticket selling platform.    My instinct remains they'll probably still play to a big crowd on the night - sales were similarly slow in 2023 but videos of those gigs showed the venue looking pretty much full. Equally it probably would be sold out if the pricing was even just slightly less ridiculous. Shave up to £50 off some of these categories and I think that would've got people to go with it.

      Some are definitely already there with that and with another round of inflation looking like it's on the way, it certainly locks that in. And I say that as someone who also isn't willing to break the £100 marker.

      A lot of people have said this online but does the Marvel world need new cities to play with? New York seems to be a target of all the villains to the point where you wonder why anyone in that world still lives there. Much as you can accuse me of overthinking it I guess haha.    I do agree that The Void is a compellingly different villain in many respects given the superpower is trapping people in their most traumatic memories. Shame in some respects the film came out in the post-Endgame funk Marvel seems stuck in and a lot of people missed out on it.    Speaking of, I rewatched Infinity War the other day. First time I think I've seen it since seeing it in the cinema on its opening day. Holds up pretty well imo - I have issues sometimes with ensemble casts and jumping between 4/5 storylines but it felt this one got the balance right and also properly explored Thanos. So it was good.

      What telly progs are you bingeing on?

      By charlierc · Posted

      I didn't think I'd ever watched a Coben adaptation or read one of the original books, though turns out I did - I watched one called The Stranger back in 2020. Clearly didn't stick long in my memory as until researching it, I didn't know that was one of his. Queens Gambit or Black Mirror, it was not.    But clearly it's popular tripe in some respect if Netflix is going yes to everything he has to offer and are apparently about to start trying his most popular individual character, as seen below:   https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2026/jul/30/how-harlan-coben-became-the-king-of-potboiler-tv   Plus hey. Sometimes people get a kick from watching something and deriding it as crap. Don't let this internet rando stop you haha
