This article didn't actually seem a serious one, as it was acted of vandalism, so I had to clean it up. --Angelo.romano 03:11, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] No longer with Helena?
I'd not seen anything about this before the trivia section on Brian's page, but there's no source or whathaveyou. Can anyone find a source for this? Otherwise I'd recommend it's removed until Brian confirms it in an interview or something. At the moment it just looks like some fan's wishful thinking. :P --203.45.29.221 04:18, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] his school
He went to the European School of Luxembourg and not the American or International schools (which are the 2 others schools for foreigners in Luxembourg). He tells about it, in this interview for FHM: http://www.placeboworld.co.uk/archive/fhm.htm --83.222.37.31 15:39, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] GAY?

On the video for Pure Morning I just saw he appears to be playing a Telecaster, does anyone know if this is his weapon of choice? There are other videos where he appears to be playing a stratJohnnybriggs 22:47, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
i believe the Telecaster is his "weapon of choice". his first guitar was a tele, although he also plays Jaguars, and on occasion a Gibson SG.
[edit] English???
` Why are the categories English rock singers and English rock guitarists linked to this page. Molko has an American father and a Scottish mother and didn't grow up England, he only moved there to study as an adult. I can't think of any reason to call him English... Scottish yes, American yes, and British yes but not English. --84.153.51.97 13:46, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
English does not only pertain to nationality. It may refer to the language spoken. Same with American. The people in the USA are NOT the only people who call themselves American. America is a continent, not a country. Therefore, in general, English is still applicable to Brian Molko. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.108.31.34 (talk) 23:47, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
Regarding Wikipedia categorization, I don't believe that 'English' is automatically applicable in terms of language; otherwise, anyone who speaks English would be in the category of "English musician", including bassist Stefan Olsdal (who is Swedish). Sting has performed and recorded in French, but that certainly doesn't make him a French musician, at least not by the standards of Wikipedia categorization. ~_^ Also, though I understand what the previous commenter means re 'American', when someone is in a category of 'American musicians' or 'American scientists' or whatever on Wikipedia, it is understood that the United States of America is meant by that.

What is his nationality? All I know Placebo is British rock band? I'm really confused with category: American rock singer. Please tell me Ario_ManUtd 11: 38 25 March 2008 (UTC) --Ario ManUtd (talk) 04:39, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
They are sometimes referred to as a British band by lazy journalists (along with the labels "glam" and "goth", which the band members have also challenged) due to first recording and coming to prominence in the United Kingdom but they themselves have pointed out that 'European' is more accurate due to the varying nationalities. Ex-drummer Steve Hewitt was the only English member; bassist Stefan Olsdal is Swedish and singer/guitarist Brian Molko is half-Scottish, half American. I hadn't noticed the 'American male singer' category; not sure that that fits for him...need to do more research on Wikipedia categorisations to determine if this is accurate.
