PLACEBO的BIOGRAPHY:
The Genesis
Placebo are Brian Molko(vocals, guitar), Stefan Olsdal (bass, guitar and keyboards) and Steve Hewitt (drums). One American, one Swedish and one Englishman.
Placebos unique vision of music and life began in Luxembourg, where Brian initially met Stefan, who is Swedish, at school, at the ages of 12 and 11 respectively. As Brian recalls, "in the space of seven years we might have exchanged one sentence."
Brian came to London when he was 17-years-old, studying drama at Goldsmiths College. Stefan, meanwhile, had followed his parents to England, and was studying guitar at the Musicians Institute in the East End. It was thus by sheer accident that he ran into Stefan at South kesington tube station (at 9:30-a time when Brian was never awake),"There he was, with a guitar strapped to his back, and he didnt actually want my phone number he asked for it out of courtesy" .
By that time Brian was also working on his own musical ambitions, writing songs as well as playing occasional gigs with a drummer called Steve Hewitt and happened to be playing a gig that night. Stefan attended, and immediately decided a band had to be formed " I fell in love with his voice and his guuitar playing because it was really different" remembers Stefan. Steve Hewitt - whom Brian first met outside Burger King in Lewisham in 1991 through a common friend who was Steves girlfriend- was also involved with another band called Breed, but contributed to Placebos intial demos when time permitted.
Because of his conflicting commitments with Breed Hewitt was replaced in Placebo by a Swedish drummer called Robert Schultzberg.
Olsdal called round with Robert with whom Stefan has been at school and in a band with in Sweden (he was coming to London to study music
and Placebo was born."It was perfect, it just gelled " remembers Brian.
The band was named after a drug which cannot work, they figured something " you only think makes you feel better".
Robert was asked to leave the band on the way to a rehearsal for The White Room as the atmosphere within the band was unbearable. " I think Robert had a very big problem with me being the personality that I am. I guess being more flamboyant than him, receiving more of the attention than him, being more of a focus in the band than he was. I just became increasingly tired the focus of Roberts rages against the world. i did a lot to gain his trust, but it was never enough." It was the original chemistry which eventually proved to be the most enduring, and Hewitt was to permanently re-join Placebo in 1996.
PLACEBO为不景气的英伦乐坛带来了新的希望:

起源
PLACEBO由BRIAN MOLKO(主唱,吉他),STEFEN OLSDAL(贝司,吉他,键盘)和STEVE HEWITT(鼓)组成,一个是美国人,一个是瑞典人另一个是英国人。
PLACEBO对于音乐和生活的独特看法开始于LUXEMBURY,在那里BRIAN结识了STEFAN,当时他还只有11,12岁的样子。BRIAN 回忆到“在7年的时光里我们可能只说过一句话”
BRIAN在他17岁的时候来到LONDON在GOLDSMITH学院学习戏剧。同时STEFAN跟随他的父母来到了ENGLAND,并在乐器学校学习吉他,他们的相遇纯属意外当时BRIAN在南KESINGTON地铁站撞上了STEFAN“他站在那里,背着一把吉他,他其实并不想要我的电话号码只是出于礼貌才问的。”
在那时BRIAN也正在为自己的音乐抱负而奋斗着,写歌同时也和一个叫做STEVE HEWITT的鼓手一起参加些业余的演唱会。在他们演出的当晚STEFAN也在现场,他突然决定要组个乐队“我深深的被他的声音所吸引还有他的吉他技巧因为它实在是与众不同”STEFAN回忆到,STEVE HEWITT,BIAN通过他的女朋友认识的同时也参加了另一个叫BREED的乐队,但他仍旧为PLACEBO原始DEMO帮忙,当有时间时。由于他和BREED冲突的合约HEWITT的位置由一个叫ROBERT SCHULTZBERG的瑞典鼓手所代替,OLSDAL给曾是同学和队友的ROBERT打了个电话,这样PLACEBO就诞生了,“这太完美了!”BRIAN回忆到。乐队的名字来自于一种药物,他们解释说“你只会想到它会使你好些。”
ROBERT被要求离队当乐队去WHITE ROOM排练时,乐队的气氛让人不能忍受“我想ROBERT有个很大的问题,和我个性不和,我想是我比他更艳丽,得到了更多的关注,成为了乐队的核心,我只是厌恶了成为他反对世界的中心,我努力的取得他的信任,但永远都不够”这就是最初的变化,后来却被证明是永久的变化,HEWITT1996年也永远的回到了PLACEBO。

曼联高兴了,罗马高兴了,所有人都高兴了 - [曼联心]
曼联和罗马分一组也许是所有人想看到的结果.上赛季的那场匪夷所思的7比1让曼联球迷津津乐道,而斯帕莱蒂却只能无奈说出"失败就是激励"的托词.也许连罗马自己都没想到复仇的机会会来的如此之快,对于罗马,不管准备好与否他们都会希望这样的机会来的越早越好,因为背负着"耻辱"般的惨败是任何一支球队都不愿承受的.而作为曼联,有过胜利的经验再次面对敌手也会表现地游刃有余,心理上巨大的优势是取胜的先决条件.不过鉴于曼联新赛季开端的低迷,面对状态正佳的罗马还是需要加小心的.没有了以往的切尔西碰巴萨,曼联对罗马,将会是小组赛最吸引人眼球的比赛.
