"Twenty Years" is a song by English alternative rock band Placebo, included on their 2004 best-of compilation release Once More with Feeling: Singles 1996–2004. It was the only entirely new song to be released as a single (although "Protège-Moi", a French-language re-recording of an earlier song, was released in France).[1]
The song was one of two songs (along with "The Bitter End") performed by Placebo at the Paris leg of the international Live 8 benefit concert in 2005.
Live performances
When played live, the song often had an extra middle eight section added on, complete with heavy experimental guitar.[citation needed] Since 2009, live shows feature an arrangement of the song that was first performed during the Live at Angkor Wat concert.[citation needed]
