    An absolutely fantastic cover, with all of the swing, swagger, and power of the original tune. Not an easy feat, but Placebo made it happen!

    Velvet Goldmine gave me everything I need: Brian Molko (my biggest love ♥️), Ewan McGregor (with his woohoo performance 🔥), Jonathan Rhys Meyers (my 2nd love 😁). I'm a happy girl!

    A bizarre, but excellent performance. But, the strangest thing just might be the zombie-like audience, some of which look too much like extras from a George Romero movie. But, this version did catch the protopunk spirit of some of Marc Bolan's songs and stage theatrics.

  • @electricslap6819

    A great cover! Love Placebo too!... but why do some people sing "just like Robin Hood"?
    Always makes me giggle 😅
    I suppose when Bolan sang "Rock and Roll" it was in the poshest English accent ever!

  • @игорьберезовский-у7р

    я не удивлён, что они с боуи были хорошими друзьями. они как будто две стороны одной души. брайан в этом образе мне дико напоминает молодого боуи. невероятно бешенная энергетика.

    I was there, I was a teenager in the 70ies- we had a gas. poor kids today, I could rattle off here 50 greats out of memory ranging from T. Rex to Purple to ELP and so forth. We had an El Dorado for good music, all bands were diffferent, all great bands were sharp, kings of their game. Glad I was there. Rgds from Germany.
