@@haha-vf2lk it’s been deleted from their official YT channel too. Only thing I can think of is maybe they’ve had a change of heart about it? I know Brian was really reluctant to release this song even as a b side because ppl were saying it was misogynistic. Funny that this has happened after over 20 years since it’s release though. So sudden.
@@hazeykayy it's so weird because like i always thought of it as 'oh this is a song in the pov of a (verbally) abusive boyfriend...' and never once thought I should be liking the person singing these things while still enjoying this absolute bop. Like I never thought 'this song is misogynistic' i thought 'the bf in this song is a f*cking prick' aha...I'll miss this song being on spotify so bad.
it wasn't taken off by spotify. the band themselves took it off for some reason, which is weird because everyone, including LGBTQ+ fans love this song.
Placebo frontman Brian Molko poses as a tortured chauvinist on “Slackerbitch” (1996). In 1997, he said the lyrics are “quite horrible… an exploration into someone’s misogyny. This man in the song feels very threatened by women, but at the same time, it’s very heartfelt. It’s angry and nasty and insulting and completely politically incorrect. I’m not afraid to say I’ve felt some of those things. It walks a very fine line, and it’s dangerous.” Before it was released, the band played the tune to several women to gauge their reaction on its misogynistic tone, but the only people who found it offensive were men. Molko explained : “I think the point a lot of people would miss is that you’re not supposed to like the guy in the song. He’s a fool.” Despite receiving positive feedback from female listeners, Placebo decided to leave the track off the 1996 LP “Placebo” and to release it as the B-side to their breakthrough single “Nancy Boy” (1996). However, it was included on the 2006 reissue of “Placebo.” 💚🎶💙
Placebo made me realise, that I'm not so special and one of a kind when it comes to feelings caused by break-ups and constant insecurity, and I'm really glad for this. May I be a psycho, but at least I'm not the only one:)
I'm listening this song still 2015 , still my ex in prison. I know I souldnt be saying this but he killed a old man. And I didn't know that he was about to do this.i didn't know anything about him. People say just be happy cause the one he killed it was not me. And i cant forgive myself because I was with a person like him.
Is it just me, or does he sound like Sonny Moore (Skrillex) when he used to sing instead of dubstep? Buy, oh lawwwd. I looove this band and Brian Molko is just fdsihjgihgj.
lol You know how eventually UA-cam guesses what you want? This is link right>to; 'don't let me be misunderstood' from Kill Bill:Query: is this funny to you?
any way.. i didn't come here to glance down for an English lesson... keep your useless criticisms to yourself, it did not accomplish anything but irritate me.
Why did you have to put that back-handed remark about dialects into your comment? How hard would it have been to just simply say "It's spelt that way in British/Australian English." and not try to argue something silly?
@ampsmeet11 It's 'spelt' in British and Australian English, 'spelled' in American. Please don't bring arguments about your inferior dialect into this great song :)
This is why I still have an iPod... All people want now is Skepta telling people he has an Audi, grew up in London and smokes weed in a black tracksuit.
Azulgrad See this is exactly what I mean. I said I find most peope boring, and you're acting all hurt saying I "despise" insecurity. No..that's not what I said.
+Peter Timowreef You said "too many generic, insecure and boring humans". Insecure was also an indicative. We just miscommunicated. It's not the end of the world though. Also: I suppose you already listened to "Too Many Friends" but in case you did not, I encurage you to do it.
its art. self-expression, which is not always delightful, whimsical things. you don't know who he is talking about, anyway. it may be the woman is a rotten person.
I’ve been going through withdrawals ever since this was taken off Spotify. Feel like pure shit just want it back 😭
Ikr, shit pisses me off
i only just realised too, i wonder why tho

Can’t believe this has been taken off Apple Music and Spotify for being too offensive. What is this world coming too 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Exactly. Rock is deader than dead now... ffs
In spotify have anothers songs more offensive and stay there

@@deniscrying2592 I think the reason is maybe the band wanna take it off for the message and don't wanna show a "bad image".

Crazy times
God, I would hate to be the person this is about. But he's too cute to be taken seriously in his anger.

Placebo made me realise, that I'm not so special and one of a kind when it comes to feelings caused by break-ups and constant insecurity, and I'm really glad for this. May I be a psycho, but at least I'm not the only one:)
Remember me, special needs.Cause the back of the class, is where I'm from.
We are all special bc we get it . The world doesn’t
Absolutely crazy drumming here
Gotta love Steve Hewitt
@@PlaceboStanIt’s not Steve. It’s the first drummer who left after the first album.

What comes into my head when I'm feeling worthless.

I'm listening this song still 2015 , still my ex in prison. I know I souldnt be saying this but he killed a old man.
And I didn't know that he was about to do this.i didn't know anything about him. People say just be happy cause the one he killed it was not me.
And i cant forgive myself because I was with a person like him.

The band themselfs took this off spotify not the platform, its also absent from the YT channel
J'ai le CD
Is it just me, or does he sound like Sonny Moore (Skrillex) when he used to sing instead of dubstep?
Buy, oh lawwwd. I looove this band and Brian Molko is just fdsihjgihgj.
I just wanted you to read this for yourself 11 years later
This has got to be the most autobiographic song he's ever written.
Lmaoo i was searching for a comment like this! Thanx
Bullshit

I DIDN'T MEAN IT
SLACKERBITCH

This is just AMAZING placebo.....xxxxx 👏 🙌 😍 ❤ 💖 ♥ 👏 🙌 😍 ❤
lol You know how eventually UA-cam guesses what you want? This is link right>to; 'don't let me be misunderstood' from Kill Bill:Query: is this funny to you?
if I was a divorce lawyer, this would be my theme song
Really like this band 15 years ago when I was a teenager. Still holds up, passes the only real test, the test of time !
All's I can say is that if you find the lyrics more objectionable than the meaning of the actual song, you've missed the point entirely.
ЛАРИН !!!
+Znoob в чём прикол,он эту песню использовал?
+Игорь Охотин Да , он в одном из своего видео вставлял её .
и так я узнала о Ларине.... :D
This song is so fucking good, bri owns my heart x
best song everrrrrr
'runs in the family' by Amanda Palmer:"piano envy"
I'd like to hear a semi-acoustic version of that song.
Love this song, thank you for posting =)

Come now, no need to bash an entire nation over the comments of one person. :)
Me English. Me speak English. You all wrong. "I wanna to get laided". End of! :lol:

Slackerbitch is deliberately written as 1 word when there is no such thing, there are 2 words and you are going to argue grammar?!
PLACEBO FOREVER
This is why I still have an iPod...
All people want now is Skepta telling people he has an Audi, grew up in London and smokes weed in a black tracksuit.
hey quick can you remind me the line that comes after "a friend in need is a friend indeed"
I sing this to all the girls. I dint mean it but they dont mind. doh..
Ain't that the truth!
This reminds me of when I used to slit my wrist and eat pills
Not a used to for me bro
i get it
I'm just a little Turtle and i can't write at all.
too many generic, insecure and boring humans.
+Peter Timowreef Everyone has insecurities (if you despise it, why do you even listen to Placebo?), and boring is only a matter of perspective.

Spelt is the simple past, spelled is the past participle - 'I have spelled it right', 'I spelt it right' - UK English major
