[edit] Chart Positions of Albums

Hi

Who removed the Chart Positions of the Albums in the Discography. It was, I believe, important information. Restore it please... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 198.54.202.100 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Placebo tuning

This was placed on the "placebo tuning" page that i'll add a speedy to.

The tuning commonly used by the popular glam/rock/punk band Placebo. It consists of [F Bb Eb Ab C C] Or in normal chronomatic terms {F A# D# G# C C]. People commonly just put a capo on the first fret and go from there, but to get it right you MUST use this tuning.

[edit] Violation of Wikipedia Key Policies

Hi, how come there are homophobic remarks in this article? To whoever wrote "gays sux[sic]": if it is too much asked of you to type the correct, if slightly longer spelling, why bother at all, especially as you are ignoring the fact, that articles should be written from a neutral point of view? And what is the point of that image? Furthermore, I don't think that the music of Placebo belongs to the House genre. Could anyone please change these points?139.18.1.5 12:18, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestions for minor improvements

The "this article does not cite its sources" tag really should be at the top of the article in my opinion, and also, in the trivia section, it claims that "Brian Molko was once mistaken for a female sex worker", which seems to be blatent vandalism...without a decent source I really think that should be removed. Give feedback or I`ll just edit it. Plebmonk 02:56, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

That is a story he has told to Kerrang at their ten year anneversary of their first album.
QUOTE: Interviewer: And, just before that, you had been mistaken for a hooker in a hotel...
Brian: That was early on in Nottingham. We went back to the hotel after a gig and the hotel manager informed my manager that he couldn't bring ladies of the night back. So even though it's not plausible, it has a source... EliF 09:29, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Even with a source that is dodgy at best, I`m still hesitant to keep it in the article. I suppose if someone could give me a reliable source then I`d be convinced...even though it doesn`t seem to be relevant to the article really. Plebmonk 19:04, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough. Plebmonk 03:47, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photos Please!

Given that the way the band, and in particular Brian Molko,look and dress is a big part of their image and that there are comments in the article about it can we have some pictures? A selection from the fey beginnings to the current no hair at all would be nice! Redkaty 15:41, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
