Yet I've just found out they are English, and Brian Molko is Scottish.
What have you found out that is completely at odds with what you thought?
Asprin works.
Used to think Drac rode a mountain bike!.
He does sing in a very American style.
I used to think Nobeerinthefridge was teatotal
I thought I use to ride mountain bikes.
I went to school with the drummer from placebo....
Michael Jackson was from Cardiff. Another little known fact
Rod Stewart is not Belgian
I used to think danny macaskill could only do all that stuff because he rode a silly bike
There's a guy down the chip shop swear he's Elvis.
Until I saw them at leeds festival I never noticed how gorgeous the girl who plays the violin is. Fiona Brice is the name that she is called and she's lovely. Not to mention bloody talented as well.
There's a guy down our chip shop that just swears
I thought the wheels on my bike were the right size. 🙄
I went to school with the drummer from placebo....
Which one? There's been several.
trying to pull stiches/sutures out, when they are stuck under your skin. hurts like hell.
Steve Hewitt... or chewey hewitt as we knew him 😀
Lime and lemongrass fairy liquid doesn't taste like it should.
Fiona Brice is the name that she is called and she's lovely
I thought this was a great way of just saying "her name's Fiona Brice".
Sure I heard Molko was from Sheffield.
"I always thought Placebo were American"
someone should tell them their not.
A Belgian & a (swedish) Luxemburger 🙂
Brian is a mongrel like many Brussels folk (typing this from Brussels) 😉
Nice guys too.
My mistake, he's Scottish/American born in Belgium. Of course.

Are you going to start a rival thread:
"I always thought Brian Molko was from Sheffield"?
Fiona Brice is the name that she is called and she's lovelyI thought this was a great way of just saying "her name's Fiona Brice".
I just thought she was worth a few extra words 😀
The Thompson Twins were in fact completely unrelated by blood.
Similarly, the Proclaimers proclaim that they are Twin Brothers, when in fact, the one on the left has slightly different glasses.
The Proclaimers yesterday

Blimey, they still going? I'd have given them 5 years max back in the day.
Edit... blimey they've been going almost 20 years. That makes me feel quite old 😕
MrSparkle - you might be thinking of Moloko, who are indeed from Sheffield.
I always thought Rik Garner invented mountain biking
Funny, I was just going to say the same, though he was 1 or 2 years above me.I went to school with the drummer from placebo....
Steve Hewitt... or chewey hewitt as we knew him
Moloko are indeed from sheffield. Roisin Murphy speaks like a miner
chambord - that was Ricky Gervais
Which means you must have been at WHS in the 80's!
I always call David Millar ... Hong Kong Fuey
I always thought that the vocalist from McAlmont and Butler was female until I saw them on the telly.
Even now, on hearing them, I find it very difficult to believe that David McAlmont is male.
At 45, I think i'm past the point of being 'turned' - but if anyone could, Brian Molko could.
He's goygeous.

On the contrary, apparently bi tendencies can become stronger as you get older
[i]I also thought Lost Prophets were American [/i]
That's because they were a (bad) Faith No More tribute band. And FnM are American.
Placebo aren't actually from anywhere. The idea that they are from somewhere is entirely psychosomatic, a figment of your imagination. In my mind they are Swiss.
Lemmy from Motorhead lived on Anglesey for a while. The home of rock n roll. Not!
Until this thread I thought Placebo were Danish.
I only popped in on the off-chance no-one had already mentioned their fellow Danes Mew, as they are/were alrightish (vocals a bit weak). Instead I'll pointlessly mention a band that are from a different country to Placebo and don't sound like Placebo. Mew. They're alrightish. 😀
Funnily enough I was listening to placebo and Meds this afternoon. I knew he was Scottish but what I don't know is why the hell does he try to sing like and speak like an American (unless he was brought up there I guess?)
I recall hearing Brian Molko is from Dundee.
The Thompson Twins were in fact completely unrelated by blood.
...and there were three of them.
The band Moloko may have been formed in Sheffield , but I'm sure the singer was from Ireland. 🙂
