@@dave_clarke I mean, most of placebo records got really lukewarm reviews and his guitar playing itself is never regard by publications or other players even. You can be famous and still be underrated but I see your point
Hang On to your IQ, is just the most beautiful haunting song and that disjointed dissonant guitar break after the chorus is genius really brings home the feeling of being displaced from society👌
The guitar on Placebo's first album is what encouraged me to start playing guitar and looking back both my guitar and bass styles take a lot of influence from Placebo
Surprised (well, maybe not) that you went here, and I love it! Placebo was amazing live. Dude, you're on a sonic kick lately... I was blown away by your Sonic Youth riffs videos. I love how you isolate the riffs and sounds so damn perfectly whatever you play. I have played these songs, too, for a long time, but the clarity you bring is helping me become a better player because I've missed some important nuances -- saying this as an amateur guitarist of 30+ years. I am still learning every day and don't often come across people interested in these sounds very often. Thank you, Bloxsy.
Thanks mate. I want to do some more Sonic Youth as there's so much to explore by them! Yeah I've found myself paying more attention to those nuances by playing this way. It's helped me too.
Saw them this weekend at download and they were great. Played mostly stuff of the new album but they played bionic and infra-red which are my favourite songs
One of the first decent bands I got into as a kid in the early 00s. Brilliant choice! I was only reflecting recently on just how excellent Sleeping With Ghosts is so I’m glad to see you featuring some of the best riffs from that album.
love these sort of big pedal note riffs, very much my own style of playing too. alongside the tone and riff selection you've got awesome rhythm man great stuff
Just popped "Without You I'm Nothing" into my car's CD player again today after a looong time of not listening to anything Placebo related, and guess what was the first recommended video in my feed next time I got online? So just remember, your devices are most definitely always listening to you, and I guess I'd just like to say "Hi" to whatever CIA lackey is having to review/monitor all my boring ass activity.
I expected the last entry was going to be a literal placebo, where you didn't actually play anything but did something to make it seem like you are great guitar player or something.
@@MrColaKO The first album is very different too. From "Black Market Music" (despite being a good album) Placebo didn't change his sound and structure.
first impression of this band. i thought their riffs were gonna be much heavier and badass, the name of the band made me think so, placebo sounds menacing
Your sound is so good for play placebo ! Sorry for my enflish man, i'm french 😅 What pedal do you use for having this sound? What is your adjustment ? Thank you !! 😊
May i offer my own top 10 of their riffs?)) 10. Pure morning 9. English summer rain 8. Black market music 7. Evalia 6. Lady of the flovers 5. 36 degrees 4. Hang on to your IQ 3. Every you and every me 2. Come home 1. Come home (again!!!))) Thanks))
Thanks. I have only just realised how to save the patches recently so haven't really done it before but I'm going to start sharing them somewhere, if I can. I didn't have the Placebo patch saved unfortunately, I just always set it in the moment.
Thank you. There wasn't any particular pedal. I used a Boss Katana amp and all the sounds were from there for the whole video. On Nancy Boy and Bitter End it was just a Distortion effect. On Meds it was just a 'clean' setting but using the neck pickup for a softer sound. Hope that helps.
The guitar has Wilkinson hardware in which is very good. The pickups are Wilkinson p90s. I'm happy with mine anyway but the squires are also meant to be good but I haven't played them.
This was great! May be an unrealistic suggestion, but any chance of some Mansun? Take It Easy Chicken Wide Open Space Legacy Everyone Must Win A good few gems
I had never realised how boring placebos riffs were before this video. I also hadn't realised how unoriginal they are. It's like Sonic Youth if Sonic Youth had zero inspiration.
Brian Molko is a really underrated player/songwriter. Amazing
Yeah, he really knows how to write a song. Probably doesn't get enough recognition.
Yeah, he is a poor guy who writes great songs and works at walmart, very underrated
@@dave_clarke I mean, most of placebo records got really lukewarm reviews and his guitar playing itself is never regard by publications or other players even. You can be famous and still be underrated but I see your point
Many of these riffs are by Stefan Olsdal too.
@@pontonmscand on top of that he sings with vibrato and all kind of good stuff, Brian is indeed underrated
Placebo’s debut album is a collection of awesome riffs. Bionic and Hang On To Your IQ have memorable stuff too.

As a big Placebo fan I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you for writing the tunings as well.
Thanks for watching!
this video just influenced me to take a look at Placebo. I'm 99% sure I just found one of my new favorite bands. Keep this up
How’d it turn out for you?
they were such a formative band for me, i still immediately recognise every single riff haha - awesome work, thank you !!
Thanks!
Love all the Sonic Youth vibes in their riffs
Kind of like a glam Sonic Youth? Kind of.
They where huge fans of sonic youth, the guitar playing was very inspired by Thurston Moore so where the tunings
@@XxcumgangsterxXAlmost every Alt Rock band in the 90s was inpired by Sonic Youth
@@samnoobsinnadaoriginal1176 After the 90s too.
jesus i never noticed this! guess that explains why i like them sm

@@bloxsy_ you're an inspiration to various of us guitar players that are still trying to conquer our Harley Bentons and Squiers too! You rock man
Thanks man.
DUUUUDEEE!
teenage angst bring me some great memories
Bruise Pristine is a so powerful riff👌
Man I always forget how much I love this band, super cool riffs.. Drag is another great one by them!
Saw them this weekend at download and they were great. Played mostly stuff of the new album but they played bionic and infra-red which are my favourite songs
we got nancy boy too! they never play it anymore, i was so happy to be there:)
They played 2 miles away from me the other night and I could hear it. I realised that most of their songs have 2-chord progressions.
Solid playing!! Loving those riffs that basically motivated me to start learning the guitar.
Thank you. I've been a placebo fan for years now I have the time to try and learn some of their songs.
One of the first decent bands I got into as a kid in the early 00s. Brilliant choice!
I was only reflecting recently on just how excellent Sleeping With Ghosts is so I’m glad to see you featuring some of the best riffs from that album.
This band seems really cool and great playing, it's like something I never heard before but need it now ♥
Hell yes, been waiting for a Placebo vid
Thank you for including the tunings in the chapters or whatever they are called!
No problem :)
Wow didn’t expect this one but most welcome. Great tones man. They are brill
Thanks man!
Nice! Love placebo
Some of the finest fuzz jazzmaster riffs ever written! I would add Slave to the Wage to the list
i love the bitter end tone
brilliant, you perfectly got the tones
Thanks dude.
Very underrated band imo. Nice going!
They got almost 4 millions listeners on Spotify at mount. This band had many world tours also. I don't think that Placebo underrated
Top fare as ever, and the tone from that V65 is awesome.
Special K and Battle for the Sun are good riffs too
Bloxy my stooge ... Nailed it again.. always was a frewt band to see in the early days. Thanks
love these sort of big pedal note riffs, very much my own style of playing too. alongside the tone and riff selection you've got awesome rhythm man great stuff
Sorry but this is fkn amazing. I too love placebo. Brilliant band. Well done mate. You smashed this.
Thanks man!
Under appreciated, they're golden
Awesome video man, you nailed the tone perfectly, thanks for making this 🥺🙏
Thanks man! It was fun making it.
If I may ask, which string gauge did you use for the F tuning?
I was using a set of 9s for all the songs. I didn't change the strings for any of the tunings.
@@bloxsy_ Even the high C string? I mean, in forums I've read that the high C should be gauge 11 or 12
It probably would sound better with that, but I could never be bothered swapping strings.
One of my all time fav bands, since I was a kid. Love this 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Impressive!! Very good work!!

Perfect as usual!
That’s stunning !
Bloxsy, you f*cking rule. Thanks for the memories!
Thanks mate.
I expected the last entry was going to be a literal placebo, where you didn't actually play anything but did something to make it seem like you are great guitar player or something.
Sugoi! Happy pride Bloxsy!🎉
Great. Brick shithouse is one of their most epic riffs imho
What a band, what a video
I love Placebo but until I started playing. I wasnt aware that 90% of their songs are power chords although Brian is a máster of strumming.
This is amazing!
Placebo is my favourite band 🙂.
The "Without you I'm Nothing" album has a very complex guitar riffs structure
It's basically the only album you need to listen from them. The rest is just repetitions.
@@MrColaKO The first album is very different too. From "Black Market Music" (despite being a good album) Placebo didn't change his sound and structure.
Smashed it as ever fella
Thanks!
Wow that's great stuff.....they're spot on! Impressed👌
Awesome playing!
Thanks!
Aah Bruise Pristine, i might have to revisit the full version, now. ❤️
Soo well played.❤❤
Thank you!
great video. I love placebo
amazing! sounds exactly the same as in the record
Great Placebo! 😘
Love this band, so slept on. Wish I wasn't late to the party on this video 😣
You're not late. Welcome! Thanks for watching.
Hi I love Placebo and I would like to know how to play bulletproof Cupid and wehere you get the tabs from
I learnt from watching some other RUclips guitar videos and also watching live videos of the band playing live.
Your video is so cool! What are the pickups in your first jaguar guitar please???
They are Wilkinson p90 pickups.
first impression of this band. i thought their riffs were gonna be much heavier and badass, the name of the band made me think so, placebo sounds menacing
Bang on tones
Wow man!! So fantastic riffs and sounds!! A question... are those Jazzmaster mics or p90s?? Greetings!
Your sound is so good for play placebo !
Sorry for my enflish man, i'm french 😅
What pedal do you use for having this sound?
What is your adjustment ?
Thank you !! 😊
May i offer my own top 10 of their riffs?))
10. Pure morning
9. English summer rain
8. Black market music
7. Evalia
6. Lady of the flovers
5. 36 degrees
4. Hang on to your IQ
3. Every you and every me
2. Come home
1. Come home (again!!!)))
Thanks))
Of course! I'll give those a listen :)
Great top))
hey!! i loved your vid, placebo is one my favorite bands! do you have the tabs by chance?
how’d you get that tone on the katana? it’s absolutely killer
I used the 'crunch' channel with some extra boost on top.
Amazing
Can you do the top 10 The Offspring riffs
Very cool
These sound spot on. Do you ever share your katana settings/patches?
Thanks. I have only just realised how to save the patches recently so haven't really done it before but I'm going to start sharing them somewhere, if I can. I didn't have the Placebo patch saved unfortunately, I just always set it in the moment.
Sound great !! Good job bro!👌 How can i tune my guitar like you ? I’ve got only a standard guitar tuner😢
You can tune to any tuning with a standard guitar tuner. You just need to tune to the notes individually
@@bloxsy_ I will try it 🙏😉
Pleaaaase what pedal do you use on Bitter End, Nancy Boy and the more 'clean' sound on Meds? Loved this video !
Thank you. There wasn't any particular pedal. I used a Boss Katana amp and all the sounds were from there for the whole video. On Nancy Boy and Bitter End it was just a Distortion effect. On Meds it was just a 'clean' setting but using the neck pickup for a softer sound. Hope that helps.
Special K is great also
fuck yes placebo
Hey nice playing ist the guitar gut the coils in there .i want buy this Vintage are Wilkinson god?
The guitar has Wilkinson hardware in which is very good. The pickups are Wilkinson p90s. I'm happy with mine anyway but the squires are also meant to be good but I haven't played them.
Amazing 🫶🏻, what distortion do you use?
Thanks. I used a Boss Katana amp with built in distortion.
No Bruise chorus🤯, one if the best Placebo stuff...
Ah yeah, to be fair, that bit is good.
How do i get this distorted guitar tone?
any suggestions on how to learn to play tight?
Maybe try practicing slowly first then play at the normal speed.
I like the plant.
10 Zippy Kid's Riffs from his album "Peak" -aha-ha_ I think you can't do it ruclips.net/p/OLAK5uy_kbwO1crWs_8TCYlUOCMZeIIH1hPoJGUhw
Wooow, what is the pedal you used in Loud Like Love Dude?
It's a Boss Katana amp with built in octave effect
I really would love to know what pedals you are using! 😮
I am just using a Boss Katana 50 mk 2 amp for this. The foot switch is just changing the sounds.
infra red ?? special k ??
Is nancy boy on standard tunning?
I cant catch up
Yeah
Do you use a pitch shifter to change the tuning?
No I tuned up. It’s only a semitone or two at the most.
Hi ! What pedal do you use for this set ?
I used a boss katana amp. All sounds are from there.
@@bloxsy_ okey !! thanks
@@bloxsy_ you've actually draw some of the best from placebo indeed.. some missing, from the yellow and the blue album maybe... but great set
This was great!
May be an unrealistic suggestion, but any chance of some Mansun?
Take It Easy Chicken
Wide Open Space
Legacy
Everyone Must Win
A good few gems
Thanks! I know a few Mansun songs, but I haven’t heard all those so I’ll give them a listen.
Teenage Angst sounds like a SP song imo
What are the tunings???
I thought it was ichika
Судя по живым выступлениям Ичики - он ускоряет свои видео - это читерство
@@Artsunrise он просто социофобный хикан, и на публике ловит дикий мандраж. И я его понимаю, потому что сам такой
Certainly takes a skill to write all your songs on one string and at the same tempo.
They’re not the same tempo, use your ears
Neither are they all on one string. As a Rush, Tool, Devin Townsend and Opeth fan: how do you figure that?
Мега хорош, в прочем как всегда
Man, You Missed Pictures 😢
👍🏻✊🏻
Tidy 😎
Like deployed 👍
Riffs are tight, band is good, but there isn't a worse vocalist in all of rock music (maybe Anthony Keidis).
If you add distortion, it will sound like Nirvana
Are you sponsored by Vintage?
No
@@bloxsy_ interesting. That guitar is good though? I love my v6 reissued sunburst.
I’ve never played the V6 but it looks nice.
Come on man show us your face 😂
I had never realised how boring placebos riffs were before this video. I also hadn't realised how unoriginal they are. It's like Sonic Youth if Sonic Youth had zero inspiration.
