"Bruise Pristine" is a song by English alternative rock band Placebo, released in its original version in October of '95, 6 months before the release of the first record. In 1996 it earned a re-release, featuring the solo acoustic track “Then The Clouds Will Open For Me.” It was re-recorded for the band's self-titled debut album, and this version was released in May 1997 as the fifth and final single from the album.
After the success of “Nancy Boy,” the release of “Bruise Pristine” again in the UK in 1997 prompted a peak of number 12 on the single charts, it also received a remixing from band "One Inch Punch" after this where Brian Molko opens the track with "See what you don’t realise is I made you turn the lights down so I could sing naked". The music video was filmed in an abandoned, empty swimming pool.
Ex-drummer, Robert Schultzberg, revealed during the 10th anniversary celebrations that it is one of his favourite tracks to play live. The song is a heavy riff-based track and is notable for its "behind the bridge" guitar solo. It's played in F-A-D-G-C-C tuning.
