I joined a "Placebo" tribute band...

[Gazman]

I don't actually play anything, but the other guys haven't noticed.

 

[Gravedigger Dav]

I listened, but it really isn't my kind of music.

 

[wraub]

I was going to post on this thread, but I decided not to.

 

[PaulJSmith]

Didn't affect me one way or the other.

 

[Smoove-Groove]

Do you guys do this song?

Do you guys do this song?

They do. And 66% of the focus group reacted the same as when they heard the original.

Hey, their chick lead singer is as cute as the girl from Hanson.

 

[samson3382]

Is the opener Baron Munchausen?

I don't get the joke, and I'm a fan.

 

[S-Bigbottom]

You are a good band, but the music did nothing for me.

 

[bassmanji]

Once I joined, I realized the music isn't half as bad as it sounds.

Was this just a Canadian hit or did this break in the USA too? I know they had more success back home in Britain but I don't know how much.

This is a great song, and enjoyed quite a bit of popularity in the states. I dig a lot of Placebo stuff, though they've kind of fallen off my radar since the 00's. Saw them in LA once or twice. I file them under a more modern Cure in terms of mood and ability. And I'm totally missing the joke here, btw

 

[Mktrat]

no reaction.....

Some of us cynical old farts are merely taking the word Placebo at face value...

Look up the phrase, "placebo effect."

 

[mwbassace]

Ya but your not the first to try this!

 

[twinjet]

I get the joke, but I am gonna pretend otherwise so I can fit in.

That attention seeking sicko? No way...I'll do it myself.

 

[whatizitman]

In comparison to other bands in that genre, Placebo is pretty much along the same lines.
