      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.

    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.

    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.

    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 a brilliant live band, can’t wait to see them again in Brighton next month. Think they’re great musicians as well as song writers 👏🏼

      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.

    I was 16/17 when this came out, about the same time I did. Appreciated that it gave us queer folk a license to love Rock in what was that very "laddish" time.

    Placebo was the first album I ever had! I had it on tape in 1996 - it was fantastic! Placebo and Feeder were my intro to the general genre

    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😂)

    Finally! I've been waiting for this review for a long time Justin :) - I think there are several Placebos: The Nancy Boy era, the Without you I am nothing, The Meds era (my favourite), The "positive and life is beautiful" era, and now the Isoletation. And the beautiful thing is that you can see how even old songs evolved into their new mindset, for example all the versions of 36 degrees.
    I have the mentla pictture of their music as a sweet pink truck. Powerful, big machine heavy distorted/overdrived chords with emotional screams and moans. No fancy shredding, beautiful solid and fundamental bass, and the drums from melancholic, beautiful resonants to catchy industrial beats.
    Placebo is one of my favourite band because they sound so signature to themselves. Stefan Olsdal is probably of my biggest guitar influence (people often think he is the bassist, which he is on studio). With the years I've gel the lyrics went meh, but the passion and emotion they put in their songs, and specially live is just ... wow!
    Edit: I would have tought you and Brian and Stefan are good friends, not saying you are not, but more close. You are succesful musicians, based in London, true to their influences, with strong believes and a beautiful way of seein life.
