Placebo - Bruise Pristine 1997


Placebo  singles - Bruise Pristine 


๐ŸŽค "Are you ever embarrassed by anything you've done in the past?
▪️Brian Molko: "Yeah, our very first single, "Bruise Pristine", and it's about to be released on a Fierce Panda compilation," blurts Brian, without hesitation. "We really hate that version, it's so fast and, honestly, I do sound like Mickey Mouse on it. We were going to say no, but it's so ridiculous it has to be documented in some way. I can't really understand where this helium thing came from. My balls have dropped since then."


๐ŸŽธBrian Molko, Melody Maker, October 1998


๐ŸŽค"Perfect Piece of Trash: What is that picture on the front of the Bruise Pristine original fierce panda release?"
▪️Brian Molko: "It's a Cecil Beaton photograph of children in a bomb shelter during the Blitz."

๐ŸŒ€"Bruise Pristine" is a song by our favourite rock band Placebo, released in its original version as a split single with the band Soup by record label Fierce Panda in October 1995.
It was re-recorded for the band's 1996 self-titled debut album, and this version was released in May 1997 as the fifth and final single from the album.


๐ŸŽธThe song is a heavy riff-based track and is notable for its "behind the bridge" guitar solo. It's played in F-A-D-G-C-C tuning. It opens with a natural harmonics riff on the 12th fret. It proceeds with an overdriven riff that's played during the verses. During the chorus there's a chromatic power chord progression from F to G.


๐ŸŒ€There are three official versions of the song that have been released: the 1995 single version, the album track and the radio edit. The radio edit is intended to be more radio friendly; after the intro it cuts directly to the vocal verse and the solo is cut short.
