Meds by Placebo: Guitar, Bass & Songwriting Insights

"Meds" by Placebo features a prominent use of a tremolo effect on the guitar, creating a pulsating texture throughout the song. Guitarist Brian Molko employs a mix of power chords and arpeggios to drive the track's dark and moody atmosphere. The song's bassline, played by Stefan Olsdal, provides a solid foundation with its driving rhythm and melodic hooks. Produced by Dimitri Tikovoi, "Meds" showcases Placebo's signature blend of alternative rock and glam influences.
