Placebo (band)

Chart positions are for the UK, they did not chart in the US. The only known performance of any Tapeworm material was of Keenan's other band, A Perfect Circle performing the song "Vacant" on tour in 2001. "Vacant" appears on A Perfect Circle's third album eMOTIVe, reworked and retitled "Passive". Chart positions are for the UK, they did not chart in the US. A collaboration with Danny Lohner, Maynard James Keenan of Tool, and Atticus Ross of 12 Rounds known as Tapeworm was in production for almost ten years, but an update on the official Nine Inch Nails website has declared that the project has been terminated. Robert Schultzberg was also a member of the band between 1994 and 1997. He has also worked with David Bowie, Pigface, Marilyn Manson, The Neptunes, 1000 Homo DJs, and Peter Gabriel. As of 2004, the band consisted of. Trent has collaborated with such artists as Tori Amos, adding backing vocals to "Past the Mission" from Under the Pink.

The band gained some measure of notoriety for the sexualities of its members (Molko is bisexual, Olsdal is gay, and Hewitt is straight) and their excessive lifestyles, often chronicled in their songs (the title of the track Special K from Black Market Music, for instance, is a reference to the drug ketamine). Or get your shit together.'". Sleeping With Ghosts (2003) was more adventurous, experimenting with dance influences and a less polished guitar sound, though keeping the traditional sound for several songs, including the first single The Bitter End. I had to slap myself in the face: 'If you want to kill yourself, do it, save everybody the fucking hassle. The band's glam connections continued in 1998 when it recorded a version of "20th Century Boy" by T. Rex for the Velvet Goldmine soundtrack. In a 1999 interview for Rolling Stone magazine, he said that "It just took me time to sit down and change my head and my life around. The band was asked to play at David Bowie's fiftieth birthday party at Madison Square Garden. It was reported that Reznor had considered committing suicide during this period.

Their style altered little from Placebo through Black Market Music (2000), based around fairly straightforward guitar playing, often influenced by the style of 1970s British and American rock, and Molko's high-pitched, nasal vocals. He has been reported to be suffering from bipolar disorder. However, the band retained a huge popular and critical following in continental Europe. During the five years between his albums The Downward Spiral (1994) and The Fragile (1999), Trent Reznor struggled with depression, writer's block, and the death of his grandmother. Since Without You I'm Nothing the band have fallen out of fashion particularly with the British music press, who regularly mock the personality and pretensions of its lead member, Brian Molko. Chris Vrenna, former drummer for Nine Inch Nails, produced the music for Doom 3 with his partner Clint Walsh. The singles Nancy Boy, from Placebo (1995), and Pure Morning, from Without You I'm Nothing (1998), were the peak of their British success, both charting in the top ten. The original audio files can be found on the internet, although they are not officially endorsed by Reznor or id software.

As the other band members were having difficulty getting on with Robert Schultzberg, they persuaded Hewitt to rejoin the band in 1997. However, due to "time, money, and bad management" he had to abandon this project, and his audio work did not make it into the game's release. This said, the band offically say that "family commitments" was the reason for his absence. Trent returned to work with id Software in 2003 as the sound engineer for video game Doom 3. While Hewitt was the preferred choice, he also had other commitments as drummer for London band "Breed", leading to Schultzberg being the drummer when the band signed its contract with Caroline Records. (As a side-note, the NIN logo also appears on the nailgun ammo boxes in Quake). The band could not decide on a drummer at first with Steve Hewitt and Robert Schultzberg alternating on the spot. He also created the soundtrack for id Software's hit Quake.

While briefly known as Ashtray Heart, the band quickly settled on the name Placebo. Reznor likes video games, most notably Doom by id Software, which he has said he played in the Nine Inch Nails tour bus after doing shows. Placebo was founded when former Luxembourg schoolmates Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal met by accident at South Kensington tube station in 1994 and decided to form a band. Reznor was the credited producer for Marilyn Manson's albums Portrait of an American Family (1994), Smells Like Children (1995), and Antichrist Superstar (1996), as well as the soundtrack for the film Natural Born Killers. They enjoyed early success in Britain thanks to the high interest in British rock music at the time, sparked in particular by Oasis and Blur. His latest album, "With Teeth", is expected to be released on 3 May 2005. Placebo is a rock band founded in 1994. Subsequent works include 1992's eight song EP "Broken", 1994's "The Downward Spiral" and 1999's "The Fragile".
