Placebo - "For what it's worth" (acoustic) Secret Session in Tokyo 2010 from Hennessy artistry

Bonita cosa que acabo de encontrar en Facebook en el perfil de una amiga inglesa.
Una actuación secreta de Placebo en Tokyo de este año.
Muy bonita la canción como la representan. Lo que me llama un poco la atención es que últimamente mi querido Brian lleve un gorrito. ¿No le habrá salido mal el transplante de pelo? El pobre, lo pasa realmente mal con el tema del pelo y le quedó muy bonito después de la intervención. ¡Que no sea nada, sólo un capricho de moda! Y si no, habrá que vivir con ello. Yo le quiero con y sin melena ;-)

Disfrutad del vídeo!!

‎Trigger Happy Hands - Placebo

"Not so long ago, at the beginning of the new millenium, I used to frequent a small bar off the Champs-Elysées called "Le Mathis". Early one morning, as the sun began to poke its pesky head over the horizon, and over several vodka-tonics, my friends Nelly, Juri J and I began to put the world to rights, as you do. Naturally the subject turned to the war in Iraq, which I had taken to the streets of London to protest against, and we all began to get angry. In his disarmingly heavy italian accent, Juri turned to me and said: "the world is run by clowns with trigger happy hands." A light went off in my head. The next morning as i sat on the Eurostar, nursing a hangover as heavy as a loaded gun, a wave of inspiration came over me, as it does, and I began to write, the lyrics to what was to become a song vomited themselves forward fully formed and remain unchanged to this day.

By the time I reached London, all that was missing was the music. A few months later, in a serendipitous twist of fate, my friend and German Superstar DJ Timo Maas got back in touch, asking if I would be interested in working on some lyrics and perhaps singing on his new album. I found the skelleted electronic tracks he had sent me quite exiting, and I would eventually end up guesting on three album tracks. One track, however, leaped out of the stereo at me and screamed "sing over me now!". I began to mumble the words I had written that day on the train and they seemed to fit perfectly. So enamoured was I by this happy accident that I contacted Timo immediately to say that I would gladly sing on his new album, but only if he would "donate" said piece of music to the Placebo cause. Thankfully he agreed and a song was born. Now, put your hands in ze air, mütterfuckers!"
