INTERESTING FACTS
Anybody remeber schizophrenic Joe from British soap opera Eastenders?! Well, during one of his outbursts, the background music was none other than "Teenage Angst"
"Black Market Music" was dedicted to Scott Piering. He was Placebo's plugger who died of cancer in 2000, and Brian was informed of his death whilst Placebo were recording "Slave to the Wage."
In his high school year book, Brian was voted "Best dressed male"
All 3 band members have an older brother.
Brian's guitars are all female, and are named Goddess, Bitch, Louise and Tattoo.
Brian was bollock naked when the band recorded "Bruise Pristine" If you listen carefully to the 1" punch remix of the song, you can hear him mutter, "What you dont realise is that I've made you turn the lights down like this so I can sing naked."
Placebo hate Limp Bizkit..........damn right too, that fucking arsehole Fred Durst, I wanna rip of his head and shit down his thro......ummm, where was I?.....Oh yeah. Well, Placebo got into a fight with Kid Rock at a show, and Kid Rock went crying to his bumchum Fred Durst who then went and got the crowd to chant "Placebo sucks!"
Brian isn't natuarlly that deep black hair colour. In fact, it is far more brown, and he dyes it. He also claims that he rarely washes his hair. Cool.
Brian was brought up as a devoutly religious child. He was well on his way to becoming a vicar, when, at about 14, he decided that nail varnish, sex and rock and roll was a far better career choice.
According to the dictionarty a Placebo is "A drug containing no active ingredients given to a patient participating in a clinical trial in order to assess the performance of a new drug. It may also be given to patients because it may benifit them psychologically to believe they are recieving treatment."
