Ever

If anyone is wondering about their conversation at 4:45 Stefan (responding to Brian who asked for his name): "Klaus von Schwanzkäse" => Klaus van Dick Cheese Stefan: "I like to say Vorsprung durch Technik" => Advantage through technique Brian: "Sehr gut. Super geil!" => very good, super awesome! Stefan: "Alles klar, Kommissar" => all clear/allright, commissar I have no idea where they got all that German slang from, but I'm just laughing myself unconscious!

[@brandonmartin-moore5302]

Vorsprung Durch Technik was a slogan for Audi cars, and the bottom one is from a song.

[@carysfaerie]

I just assumed (alles klar etc) was a league of gentlemen reference from Herr Lipp & his boy’s choir

[@newforestpixie5297]

“ superguy “ is from the line uttered by a German Lady ‘ Actress ‘ - her having freshly received a mechanical style shafting of epic proportions during a German Produced Porn movie which Nige & I had watched on VHS instead of hanging radiators at his neighbours’ house in 1992 😁

Placebo is one of those weird greatest band of the post rock shitty 80's-era. They have this acid taste mixed with love and a sublime art of synts chords. No band can compare, in a row listening -Burger Queen -Special Needs -Follow the Cops Back Home -The Bitter End These songs would take you to the sky. Music grought down from heaven to earth Weirdness is equal to unique, to One of a Kind

[@elswamidor]

Battle for the Sun is the best Placebo album, that being said, the other albums are awesome. Thanks, 20+ years of enjoying your work. 'Commercial for Levi' will forever have a special place in my psyche.

[@rorymac7746]

This was incredible to watch. The creative process blending into the recording process... thank you for allowing us a peek into this fascinating bring-music-to-life universe. Brian is so wonderfully inspiring that it's hard to keep your eyes off him, really. Wish I could be a fly on the wall in the studio when he's unleashing his talent beasts and giving his all into that microphone. I could rant for a long time, but bottom line - I hope that one day I can tell you guys live how much I love your amazing art and how it's become part of my soul. Brian, please never stop creating, you've got that unique sparkle that has made me fall head over heels beyond reason. Thank you and hope you have an equally productive and lovely recording process in 2018 as you did for BFTS

[@moomimi]

They're very talented. I love they're still together :').

[@dreamofmirrors]

Perfect drummer for a perfect band!

[@TheRocket901]

Battle for the Sun bring me memories from 2009..

[@veerchasm1]

Meds is my favorite Placebo album

[@thesecretsofkat]

I am so in love with what you guys are bringing. Keep working hard as you do. Always support you❤️

[@noname6551]

This was amazing thank You guys for making this

[@Alice-xc6ut]

I really loved seeing you guys play inside the studio! It looks like a lot of fun! This record is so beautiful and creative. I love how it is about the hope for a better future, despite the past, and trying to focus on more love and less hate, whatever that means to each of us. Every song is a genius masterpiece of breathtaking beauty. It captures the essence of an emotion in such exquisite detail it is astounding. It is an expression of the human condition that conveys a feeling of oneness with the human race that inspires us to follow our dreams and not feel so alienated with one another, in order for us to create a better future for us to live in together.

[@user-eq4pe4cx5n]

Брайан, зараза, такой обаятельный😍

[@AnnaLiddell42]

This is amazing, it's wonderfull to see the process! I love it

[@GroceryTV]

So this is when The Extra came about! I wonder if B3 and I Know Where You Live were made around this time too. Great songs.

[@brandonmartin-moore5302]

I'd love to hear the full song of this version.

[@DEnextlevel]

[@MrLeePE]

Thank you guys!

[@Phoenix-qu6pg]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, placebo, for the insight into your work. Very impressive for me. Battle for the sun has a very special meaning for me.Your lyrics touch me deep in my soul. Very much on a spiritual level as a medium and as a human being.❤This jewel accompanied me once again through a deep transformation from darkness into light. My deep gratitude to you, you are a part of it.

[@OnlyByTheNight84]

I've seen bits and pieces of it some video but not the entire thing, it was really cool to watch!

[@barbouille07]

Phylthya, maybe being from Luxemburg, a mini country in which most people are very commonly trilingual, they were brought up speaking more German and French than the average rock star? Hummmm, that could explain Brian strange approach to lyrics and Stefan's slight accent? (or am I the only one hearing it?)

[@ogster35]

awesome favourite placebo album

[@jb6164]

20:54 the music of heaven...

[@Vanii238]

Shit I'm so fucking obsessed with you! ♥ :D

[@petarmaksimovic4048]

Not sure why they talk down on Meds, I think it's their strongest, most honest and emotional album to date, very refined too, as opposed to Battle For The Sun which sounds a too artificial and kind of forced. Actually Battle for the sun really sounds American, doesn't have that fine European sentiment.

[@tigersteffi]

They’re not talking down on Meds? They just said that it’s a bleak album. Which it is. Bleak does not equal bad.

[@loquuendo1234567890]

what is the song that starts in the video?

[@Carla719]

Speak in tongues

[@katrin1283]

What's the name of the first Song from 0.00-1.15? PLEASE HELP ME!!!

[@fatemehfathali5276]

Hi! Hope you've already found it but it's called Speak In Tongues

[@nickmaatjes5611]

does anyone know the song title from the opening sequence??

[@london5547]

kitty litter is the song

[@nickmaatjes5611]

@@london5547 thanks a lot :-)

[@DuncanRosello]

The song of the opening sequence of this video is Speaking in Tongues ;-) .

[@johanagan3696]

Isn't it funny, you could walk past Brian in the street and not recognise him if he looked ordinary..I find this amusing..xxx

[@petarmaksimovic4048]

Can't touch Meds, it was instant cult, this was a very weak, if not the weakest Placebo album.

[@pussysuperstar]

Petar Maksimovic I gotta agree with you dude

[@dAvrilthebear]

Battle for the Sun mostly sounds kind of forced, it is the least sincere of their albums. And also really overproduced. It's like a person trying to hide a lot of pain behind a facade of competency and professionalism. But it has its moments.
