“Get a life,” they told fans at their concert in Switzerland.

“We don’t force you to come to any of our shows, it’s your choice,” Placebo lead singer Brian Molko said in a statement.

In this way, he wanted to respond to the negative feedback Placebo received about the technical problems they encountered at their concert on June 30 at the OpenAir Festival St. Gallen, in Switzerland.

The bad start came when the guitar system stopped working completely and they had to stop the program earlier than planned.

Placebo has since received negative reviews, with fans waging a “civil war”, half to support them and the other half to cheer them on.

Brian Molko explained that the band decided not to leave the stage and to perform as best they could with Stefan Olsdal on bass, and to inform the audience of what had happened.

“We have noticed a lot of discussions, arguments, accusations and skirmishes among our fans regarding our concert at the St. Gallen Festival. We have also received many insults. Therefore, we would like to clarify what happened during our concert at the festival,” Brian Molko said in his statement and continued:

“Immediately after the start, Stefan Olsdal started having technical problems until the guitar system stopped working completely. So he couldn’t play any song for a long time. Our world-famous technicians made every effort to solve the problem, but to no avail.

Placebo doesn’t use recordings on stage. Everything is 100% live. Obviously, that’s still not enough for some demanding people who think they’re superior. He adds that technical problems and concerts that end early are part and parcel of a live show.

“If the idea of ​​this inevitability continues to irritate you, we suggest you watch the bands that record most of the music that is performed on stage. We also suggest that you gain an objective perspective and try to see this situation from a perspective that is not your own – if you are at all capable of that. That’s a polite way of saying – get a life.

We do not force you to come to any of our concerts – it is your choice. Please feel free to make that choice in the future and stop insulting our loyal fans in the virtual world.
