Well it all started for me 3 years ago at a new years eve party when my best friends sister decided to show me some of her music,
I walked into her room, saw brian molko and said wow whos that!!!!
She replied with "oh it dont matter you wont like that type of music"
I had a gut feeling bout this mysterious looking gorgeous man that i could see and told her too play them to me.
she played the album without you im nothing and as soon as the shops reopened in the next few days i was there with my xmas
money and brought all 3 albums.
I then started collecting the singles, only 4 more to go.
I never unfortunately got to see them live until they came to nottingham rock city april 13th 2003.
I went with 2 mates and we went down at 9 in the morning so we could try and meet the guys,
I brought the guys a tube of jaffa cakes as I`d read somewhere thats wot they liked. When they´re tour bus came
me and my 2 mates were the only ones there but the security guys ushered them inside rock city cos they had
had vadalism problems the gig before so didnt want us near!!!!!!!!!! One kind man though said he would give
the band my jaffa cakes and he did hehe. I was upset that afternoon but still hyped uo bout the gig.
As we waited at the front of rock city I just suddenly heard someone scream and had a gut feeling so i ran as fast as i ever had
round the corner to the car park where the tour bus was and in amongst a small group of people i saw a black beanie hat and
thought thats him!!!! I ran up pushed everyone out of the way I´m sorry ppl!!!! and asked brian to sign my sleeping with ghosts album
cover, as i gave it him he told me to stop shaking as I was pretty hysterical. I also got a photo. He was only there 3 secs as he
had to go somewhere but i was so unbelievably happy I nearly collapsed as I cried and laughed all at the same time i couldnt breathe,
my friend started to panic she was so worried bout me. I never thought I would react as bad as I did when I met him, I thought I would
just be cool not rly say much. The gig was amazing and it was definately the best night of my life i was at the front and i cried again
during without you im nothing (my favourite song!).
People will probably have way better stories then me but i just wanted to share
mine cos my life revolves around that band and basically without them im nothing god knows how i live the first 14 years of my life
without them!!!! they seriously have helped me when i been thorugh 5 years of constant bullying at school and college i always ran
home to listen to brian and cos he is so different and open about his sexuality i felt better about myself, so i never let people
let me down. if i hadnt discovered placebo im sure i would have done something id really regret so thank you placebo!!!
