WATCH THE MAKING OF THE ASHTRAY HEART MUSIC VIDEO:

We previously brought you the audio from Placebo’s recent BBC6 Music acoustic Hub Session, at last we have the video to share. Filmed live on August 26th, an amazing stripped down version of the band’s latest single The Never-Ending Why, accompanied by For What It’s Worth.

THE NEVER ENDING WHY:

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH:

A lot of people on YouTube have the ability to showcase their talents, and sometimes lackthereof, however sucker-love.com recently came accross this gem by chenottestupida and we think it is worth sharing:

Filmed throughout the bands Asian tour last month, ‘A New Tomorrow’ documents Placebo’s intensively demanding promotional schedule and the 5 shows they played, including the infamous 2nd show at the Japanese ‘Summersonic Festival’ where Brian collapsed on stage

Shot by Charlie Targett-Adams and narrated by Brian Molko, ‘A New Tomorrow’ is both emotional and revealing, allowing unrestricted access into the world of Placebo and heart of Brian himself.
