Placebo is an alternative rock band from London, England. The band was formed in 1994 by Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal. Placebo has released eight studio albums, one live album, and two compilation albums. The band has won several awards, including an NME Award for Best New Band in 1996 and a Brit Award for Best British Group in 1999.
Placebo is known for their heavy use of distortion and effects pedals. The band's guitar sound is often described as "dark" and "brooding." Placebo's use of D'Addario EXL115 Medium Nickel Wound strings contributes to this sound.
D'Addario EXL115 strings are made from nickel-plated steel. They have a medium gauge, which means that they are thicker than light gauge strings but thinner than heavy gauge strings. Medium gauge strings are a good choice for players who want a full, rich sound with good sustain.
D'Addario EXL115 strings are also known for their durability. They are made with a special coating that helps to protect them from corrosion and wear. This makes them a good choice for players who gig frequently or who live in humid climates.
If you are looking for a set of strings that will give you a dark, brooding sound with good sustain and durability, then D'Addario EXL115 Medium Nickel Wound strings are a good option.
