It's in the very beginning, so this shouldn't be a problem for those who don't like Placebo

Sounds nice, probably ran through some effects pedals.

Looks/sounds like some type of little modified toy keyboard of some type to me...

Omnichord?

There's a thread about them here, too.

Ugh, Placebo...

I have that same exact omnichord....

I like omnichords.

What I don't like is a crap band tainting one of the greatest architectural achievements in history with their presence. I'm cranky today.

There is a particular hubris about bands playing against this sort of backdrop. I think you have to have graduated to genuine legend status before you're allowed to be that arrogant, no? Or maybe the arrogance makes him think his silly little band has....

Wouldn't put it past the whiny little dwarf.

C'mon guys! I only asked about the instrument! I'm not into this version of Black-Eyed either.

Everyone knows that we are all tall and awesome looking MEN! Nick Cave would be envious of our baritone voices.
Stripped down versions of our own songs are absolutely fantastic masterpieces!
And last but not least: we are not arrogant! D'you know what I mean?
That's why we only play in our bedroom or in smelly bars.
No shit. Everyone knows that.
No fucking shit, bro... that's right.

Come on, if Dan Brown(another of my pet hates) gave a press conference on top of the biggest pyramid in Giza it would be a little hard to just talk about what kind of suit he wore, even if it was on the Prada forum.

Oops. I was forgetting that some people actually like Placebo. I've never been able to understand it, but there.
