Darlene_Ihnfsa Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 it's just a suggestion...perhaps they can try more electronica stuff. come up with more songs like English Summer Rain and Special Needs well if they will stop working now, for a short time, find another drumer and prepare a new album, they i think they will try new things, brian said he likes to try new things on each album and improve himself on lyrics. so may be they can go to one side or to the other one.... electronica or acoustic, an album with songs of both styles would be good... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene_Ihnfsa Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 *bump* news steven (ex-drummer) he is working on an album since march, the album will be called Ancient B, he is working with The Cure singer and Lamb bassist :surprised: stefan (bassist) he works also on a band called Hotel Persona, officialy the band is english but many songs are in spanish. http://www.myspace.com/hotelpersona brian (singer) there was a rumour about his solo album, but there's nothing confirmed by him. placebo brian and stef are planning to work on the next album next spring 2008. so now they are on a break running their solo or other projects, or just relaxing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNWAYEwLn80(Pixies cover) Great performance, they all rock, although Stef appears very few on the screen :thinking: enjoy!

TheBrainyOne Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS according to a board (the owners say that they had talked with the bassist (Stefan Olsdal)): good :nice: BTW Today is Brian birthday :nice: :D fucking good news babeh~ and I just realised I have missed Placebo in Singapore last year. :/ They came for some little 'showcasing'. HMV was issuing out tickets for those who buy Placebo's MEDS + any other album. It was very vague so I didn't know they they would actually come IN PERSON. I thought it's just some album showcase. So when I finally went back to HMV thinking I should go no matter what cos I love them, THE TICKETS ARE ALL GONE. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darlene_Ihnfsa Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 according to their myspace is true; the new drummer is Steve Forrest. [11 Aug 2008 | Monday] PLACEBO - THE RETURN! Good news friends - Placebo are back in the studio working on a new album! The band finished the last touring campaign in September of last year in the USA (on the Projekt Revolution tour with Linkin Park and My Chemical Romance) and since then took some much needed time out, and over the past couple of months have been hard at work writing and demoing the new material in London. The boys are now recording with producer David Bottrill (the man behind Tool's 'Aenima', 'Salival' and 'Lateralus' albums, Silverchair's 'Diorama' and dEUS 'The Ideal Crash'). Engineering the album is James Brown who worked with the band on 'Meds'. ……….And on the drums with Placebo……..?????!!!!! Introducing.…..Mr Steve Forrest! From Modesto, California. Previously the drummer with the American rock band, 'Evaline'. Some of you may have spotted Steve playing with Evaline supporting Placebo on their US tour in October 06. Stay tuned for more news!!!

Darlene_Ihnfsa Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 The new drummer looks like a poser yep, you are right :uhoh: i must get used to him yet... i liked Steve, i must check what is about his solo work (he left the band because he has a solo project) i don't see the point of leaving the band for that, 'cause the bassist is on another band too and hadn't left Placebo. (is just me or seems they only have Steves there? ... you know bassist name is Stefan... drummer was Steve, new drummer is Steve, strange :confused: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megacity Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 yep, you are right :uhoh: i must get used to him yet... i liked Steve, i must check what is about his solo work (he left the band because he has a solo project) i don't see the point of leaving the band for that, 'cause the bassist is on another band too and hadn't left Placebo. (is just me or seems they only have Steves there? ... you know bassist name is Stefan... drummer was Steve, new drummer is Steve, strange :confused: ) i think it's just a coincidence. i like placebo a lot, i personally think they're a bit underrated here in uk, they are much more popular in europe. anyway, i look forward to the new album, meds was awesome, and old stuff, too.

Dejan Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 NEW ALBUM "BATTLE FOR THE SUN" Release Date: June 8, 2009 The album, entitled 'Battle For The Sun', is the group's first new studio effort since 2006's 'Meds'. The album's title track will be given a world exclusive play on BBC Radio One DJ Zane Lowe's show from 7pm today (March 17th). 'Battle For The Sun' was recorded over three months with producer Dave Bottrill in Toronto, Canada and mixed in London by Alan Moulder. Singer Brian Molko said the band had made an album “about choosing life, about choosing to live, about stepping out of the darkness and into the light”. He added: “Not necessarily turning your back on the darkness because it’s there, it’s essential; it’s a part of who you are, but more about the choice of standing in the sunlight instead.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
