Wow. I'm honestly surprised that Placebo even gets a mention here.

I'm curious how the new drummer will fair.

Headline troll, to me they're still better than 99% of the recorded acts out there now. Or maybe subby is a big fan of 50 Cent and Christina Aguilera?

Is Geddy Lee still singing for them?

I love their cover of Kate Bush's Running up that hill.

I should say that that's a terrible video, though...

Sorry, I did not notice you were trolling - you just seemed to get your panties in a bunch about the headline and it appeared that you did not quite understand the joke.

Don't forget all the rest. That's important too.

It's crazy that they have the drummer from Evaline in Placebo, after all these years. They never really said why Steve left the band, either... he just did.

Great band, nice guys... I've seen them maybe 7 times, and they never disappoint. I didn't think "Meds" was a very good album, so here's hoping the new blood gives them some of what made them great back.

/"Without You I'm Nothing" is one of the best albums of the 1990s.
//"Sleeping With Ghosts" is its perfect companion.

Jesus...

Placebo is a term used in the medical community. Sometimes it was argued that the mind could cure you so someone decided to give people fake pills to see if they got cured. If the pills work then the disease in question wasn't real, just psychosomatic. Placebo entered the mainstream lexicon to represent something that isn't real but might as well pass as the real thing, hence the joking headline.

You are a successful troll.

not familiar with them, but I recall Pure Morning sounding like a poorman's Smashing Pumpkins. I kind of lump them in with Spacehog, except Spacehog eventually went away.

i believe they gave the standard "creative differences" response. i think steve has a family, and he's been on the road a lot over the last few years. sometimes you need a break.

and if your login name is a JJ72 reference, you are my new favorite person.

Fantastic!

Meds was quite good and the singer had some sort of vocal chord issue the day they were supposed to play here in Omaha... I got a refund but I would have much preferred they just rescheduled... :(

Maybe they'll come back this time around

/crossing fingers
//I'll see them at the bitter end otherwise

OK, either switch to a different song, or I'm going to have take drastic measures. There is no running, I will find you.

/'Cause I can see in the dark.
