1984 is a great book

[renanfb]

ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZ­ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[neomartymcfly]

@scarletIbisluv It's an homage to George Orwell's 1984.

[MagicBlueberries]

Solve for X

[Evilcookeh]

Radiohead - 2+2=5

Radiohead = 5

geddit?

[DackIsBack]

Epic Orwell homage!!

He even sounds like Winston does in parts of the film.. Eerie

[CaVaLhEiRiNhO]

I'm such a dumb

...

2+2=5

Pretty nice song

[xuxuxaxinxa]

I hate VEVO

[willyminor]

Is it my impression or they play the first part in 4/4 and not in 7/8, like it is in the album?

Anyway, they're always an orgasm for my ears!

[654Lele]

Amazing.

[justinorville]

The title is the way it is because it's inspired by 1984 by George Orwell, an amazing novel. Anyways, greatest band ever.

[MrOzwy]

omF!!! so cute the personalfinger!!

aus die earlich!!

komme sussen tod!

[JohnAlanWoods]

If this VEVO shit must make every music video 'official' could they please start uploading QUALITY videos?

[mk8]

vevo you can fuck a gore!

[ketermedia]

thank God they are musicians and not scientists :D hehe

[luizfmaf]

I don`t like this song, I`m much more fond of their song "The Lukewarm." It's waaaaaaay better...

[L337wizard]

the crowed isnt moving because there to blown away.

[protonmonkey]

God, the ending of 1984 was so brutal. Made even more brutal when you play this song while you're reading.

[valjs64]

read it in 5th grade! and yes it was required reading smartass! in the USA. back in the 70's. had very progressive teachers.

[valjs64]

George Orwell, genious don't you read? they make you read this in Elementary School. i love this song live better, so much energy! didn't you read the other comments. it's obvious...

[goodcat13]

@valjs64 What country has 1984 in their required list for elementary school? Or any other grade for that matter... More importantly how can I enroll?

[Fanchus]

so good

[mondocaneman]

4 x 4 = 1

[WickedLiquid]

Radiohead is awesome. Can't wait for the new album! When the hell is it coming out?

[jenlovesfoofighters]

i love them live...i want to see them in concert

[piriflaka]

is too late now because.... 2+2=5. Radiohead son la rita, mexico los mama (radiohead you are the cock, mexico loves you) jajaja

[lebloulou]

ouhh he says "merci tout le monde" in the very beginning haha im so proud

[amrith007]

Radiohead + 2 + 2 = 5

Radiohead = No. 1

[fredceilo]

Thanks all the smart people who explained me what 2 + 2 = 5 is about. I appreciate it. I feel smarter now. I literally thought they miscalculated it.

[imunition]

at fungusuarus and fredceilo:

2+2 CAN equal 5.

If you times any number by 0, then it becomes 0. soo...

doesn't (4x0)=(5x0)? and if you divide both sides by 0 then you get 4=5.

so, as 2+2=4, and 4=5, logically, 2+2 can equal 5.

but seriously- not really the point of the song is it?

[fungusuarus]

@imunition Ur right!

[amrith007]

@imunition You can indeed prove 4=5. But dividing both sides of (4x0)=(5x0) doesnt get 4=5.

[imunition]

@amrith007 if you divide them both by 0 then yeah, it does

[Slash99Cobain]

@amrith007 then (4x0)=(900x0)? im 11 btw

[amrith007]

@Slash99Cobain Well it is my friend :)

[tinsaint]

@amrith007 i... don't understand anything you just said,are you like a genius or something?

[lebloulou]

@imunition you cant divide by 0

[AugsWeidy13]

If Radiohead tells me that 2+2=5, then 2 plus 2 most definitely equals 5.

[brurucy]

Fungusuarus FUCK YOU MAN! IF U DONT HAVE ANY GOOD THING TO SAY DONT SAY JUST LOOK UR NAME AND WE KNOW THAT UR A POOP KID!

[fungusuarus]

@brurucy Holy shit dumbass. I fucking love Radiohead and this song. I totally get the whole 2+2=5 thing. Its from 1984 which I have read. Its a fucking comment.

[fungusuarus]

Wow. This song is stupid and the band is retarded. 2 + 2 definitely equals 4. I just checked it on a graphing calculator. Fucking dumb-asses.

[Nominator546]

@fungusuarus Not good enough, get the super computer

[Hypact1v3]

@fungusuarus I don't think you quite understand what the song is about....

[dbzzx]

@fungusuarus

They see me trolling....lmao

[Dinocfs]

@fungusuarus lol you suck this band is fucking amazing, go listen to you pop shit

[fungusuarus]

@Dinocfs Dude I love Radiohead. I hate the new modern Hip-Hop / Rap. I just posted the comment to see peoples reactions.

[lebloulou]

@fungusuarus LOLL on a graphing calculator hahaha

your comment made my day

[IlyaKhleboyko]

2:05 is my favorite part.

[stoyashot]

I`m beginning to suspect that well viewed popular movies seen by the group the video is made for get a ratio of about 50 likes to 1 dislike. I have seen one Boards of Canada with a ratio 330:1 but thats the best I`ve seen so far. I liked the star system better but even that didnt work...

[Cloud9050]

Radiohead are at the window

[TheOtherSun]

8 people are mathematicians.

[PharrOutVidz]

yo fredcello, i understand trying to be funny but 2+2=5 is referance to 1984 by George Orwell. If Big Brother tells you that 2+2=5 then it does.

[MrHarrison1159]

Honestly stop talking about Justin Beiber, people are ruining good songs and videos with comments about him noone really cares.

[wiifanboy0]

I luv justin bieber

[ZeFearlessFrenchman]

ALL HAIL TO THE THIEF!!!

[fredceilo]

i think he is wrong. it should be 2 + 2 = 4 from what i remember. i might be wrong.

[marceloinvest]

@fredceilo

I think it's a reference of "1984", a book written by George Orwell.

[THEbeastlySTIG]

@marceloinvest I was just wondering that actually, thx for helpin me out. 1984 was such a good book, thats why the title of this song caught my eye.

[marceloinvest]

@THEbeastlySTIG

I agree. It's a great book. The ending is so sad... I thought Smith would join the resistance, but it was all a lie. And after all, they brainwash him... it's very sad....

greetings from Brazil, brother!

[Gazpepper81]

@fredceilo" I could have swore" it was 4 ;)

[cerbo86]

@fredceilo 1984

[colombiaje]

@fredceilo He is making a reference to Orwell's 1984. The masses will believe what the establishment wants them to believe.

[molotov73]

@fredceilo NICE WAY TO USE THE WORDS!

YOU COULD BE AMNESIAC.

[scowy1978]

@fredceilo

2+2=5 it's from George Orwell's book 1984

[dispair14]

@scowy1978 u mean animal farm? that book was weird and the movie was f'd up

[scowy1978]

@dispair14

George Orwell wrote it in the book 1984. 

His protagonist Winston Smith, uses the phrase to wonder if the State might declare "two plus two equals five" as a fact; he ponders whether, if everybody believes in it, does that make it true?

Essentially if everyone tells a lie often enough then everybody will eventually believe that it's true.

[onepwnzoringnoob]

@fredceilo either youre making a statement, or you have no idea what this song alludes to :P

[jestoon425]

@fredceilo lol "I Might Be Wrong"

[MrThahey]

@fredceilo it's a reference to George Orwells 1984

[cookaburagumdrop]

@fredceilo It's from a book.

[Shadow9392]

@fredceilo i c wut u did thur

[tinsaint]

@Shadow9392 me 2

[intothetopcorrupt]

@fredceilo it's horrifying that you missed the whole symbolic nature of that lyric. But I guess it's normal in this totalitarian society we live in, and it's suppression on art. I think he's talking about the irrationality that education provides people.

[L337wizard]

@fredceilo he is saying, "ill stay home forever where 2 and 2 always make a five"

which means is home makes no sense.

probs.

[emmbee]

@fredceilo I see what you did there. ;)

[mavman16]

@fredceilo read 1984

[SamaelClayman]

@fredceilo Mathematically: 2+2= 4

Philosophycally: 2+2 could be 5

[Telfer105]

@fredceilo Nah, it's from the book 1984, it's like if everyone believes that 2+2=5 then does it make it true?

[JoseaneMartin]

Coldplay Coldplay Coldplay

[jackwills101]

@JoseaneMartin Chris martin said himself, he ripped this off radiohead....

[verdemanthe1]

2+2 makes five because i tell you its five,you cant just tell me what I want to hear you have to believe

[Kperson123]

I think what they were trying to say with this song was 'what the fuck?'

[PassionOfTheHeist321]

@Kperson123 The song is about people in power today. It's basically saying the government can say whever they want and we'll just take it in as the truth. Hence the name; two plus two is five. Watch the official music video carefully and you might get it better.

[jennieme]

1984-george orwell

[SakutheKQ]

I didn't understand the concept until I finally got around to reading 1984 when I was 13. Before that, it was just a funny song name, but it's really interesting how they referenced this.

[ElmonoLocoNota]

@SakutheKQ

Yep, until you don´t read 1984 you won´t understand anything.

2+2=5 is 1984 made song

[andrewpoopoo]

Someone cant do maths. (sorry I love this song just had to say that haha)

[GiveMeATaco100]

I'm a Muse, Coldplay, radiohead and etc fan

[Americas13]

One of the greatest bands ever formed. These guys inspired Modern Indie like The Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, Coldplay and a hundred more if not a thousand!

[MrRainpe]

Thom Yorke looks weird...

But damn what a voice! He's amazing!

[radioheadkids2]

@MrRainpe fuck off not weird...

[itsachickenwiththing]

Guys "2+2=5" is a reference from "1984" by George Orwell, fitting considering the themes of the album the song debuted on.

[Madoculos]

"♫Radiohead - 2 + 2 = 5" Does that mean Radiohead = 5?

[FeralArtist]

@Madoculos That would make sense. There are five members.

[mduer71791]

@Madoculos Radiohead cannot be quantified by our pathetic number system.

[hohohee1]

@Madoculos fuck u

[LicoriceLain]

@Madoculos No, it means Radiohead = 42

[MrNesk04]

@Madoculos LOL

[HappyhorseAhab]

I like how the song starts in 7/8 and then goes to 4/4, surprised it wasn't written in 5 considering the title.

[whitevipe309]

@HappyhorseAhab Kind of like Money by Pink Floyd

[Fetcha200]

2+2= 5

Oh I get it!

The = means both sides have to be balanced

So 2 + 2= 5 is true

because 2 + (thats 3) and another 2 thats= 5

Omg! I got it!

and if you're wondering, yes I'm high.

[TheBambamnz]

you can feel his music eating your soul.

[everuck]

I like Coldplay... but, i mean, Radiohead belong to another planet..

[DRakomol]

[lareschke]

\o/

[jcollins1018]

Listening to Radiohead is like taking the red pill and releasing yourself from the matrix. 

[AmazingPurpleCat]

I'm a big Muse fan and people say that thay sound really similar to Radiohead, I don't really hear it

[MagdalenaPanic]

@AmazingPurpleCat

Some of their songs have a similarly dreamy quality to them but I agree, they're different.

[loeep]

@AmazingPurpleCat

I think when they first came out they were compared because the lead singer of muse style of singing is so influenced by thom yorke ..... i used to call them radiohead jr.

[bassmanUSSR]

Coldplay do make quite beautiful music, but not beautiful in the same way that Radiohead's songs are beautiful.

Coldplay make quite superficially pretty songs, rather than deeply beautiful ones. I don't want to offend anyone, I mean I used to be a huge Coldplay fan.

[bassmanUSSR]

But Radiohead make sounds that aren't always 'pretty', but which always touch you if you approach their music in the right manner. People seem to think that Radiohead's fanbase is full of people who try to exclude others, but it's really just people who have taken the time to appreciate their music rather than dismissing it instantly as 'depressing' or 'boring' after listening to the intro from Climbing Up The Wall or something.

[bassmanUSSR]

Their music can be difficult at times, but it's at least a hundred times more rewarding than anything else around these days. Their songs aen't even about 'messages', or preaching to others, which is what 'meaning' in music these days has come to mean. They just create experiences for the listener which are stunning.

[JunoCat16]

Radiohead is the best band ever!

[BradS71]

I don't understand people comparing Coldplay to Radiohead. Radiohead wouldn't , and shouldn't, give Coldplay the time of day. Radiohead is infinitely on a higher level.

[motto25]

The metal militia will be attacking Justin Bieber's video (justin bieber baby ft. ludacris) on the FOURTH OF JULY! Assemble all fans of good music in every genre! (Jazz, Metal, Classical, Classic Rock etc.) On said date leave a comment giving your thoughts on JB, close the comment with -MM. Copy and paste this comment to all the good band videos! (Muse,Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, blink-182, led zeppelin, black sabbath, classical composers, jazz composers etc.) Thumbs up

[SkydivingKnife]

@motto25

Only that Blink 182 is a terrible band as well.

[Rvdmets]

I posted this on one video and ill post it on another. Why does every single radiohead, or coldplay youtube video always turn into a battlefield? I like Radiohead alot, and I like Coldplay alot. Do we really have to bicker over everything? Why cant we just enjoy the music?

[hezzerbelle1]

If I read one more thing about Coldplay I think I'll puke.

[YaBoyShmoo]

i can't believe how much they tore this one apart.

[MITCHsaysHI]

1984 was an awesome book

[Maggielicious21]

see??! 2+2=5! i knew i was right! suck it up math teacher from first grade!! ;D

[cricio93]

are u sure 2+2=5? isnt 4? :/

[Xijnjoey38]

Is a Blue man. yes, cause he blows the competitors away with Phantom Groove, or a photo protoculture is a reaction.

[MLEshay4]

i like how when you go to a radio head video everyone is dissing coldplay. but when you go to a coldplay video, you hardly see anything about radio head. intresting :D

[Arachnidius]

@MLEshay4 Admitting defeat :p

[insanityea]

RADIOHEAD KICKS ASS!

[stancexpunks]

i would kill to see 2+2=5 performed live...

[JunoCat16]

second favorite band

first is also Radiohead :)

[unitedteddys]

cold play is better >:)

[TheMysticbeat]

@unitedteddys hahaha, coldplay is better?? You obviously are not the brains in this operation!!!

[krjimmy]

I love how part of the song is in 5/4 time, in keeping with the name, haha. That's clever.

[douglasroxygrey]

how about we just stick to talking about radiohead on a radiohead vid

[Sprawlify]

really like how they rock out at 2:06.....man i would take radiohead over coldplay anyday theyre more artsy and cool

[Sprawlify]

love radiohead ....had a thought .....at 0:57 he looks like yoda ....teach us old wise one....nah thom yorke is cool unlike alot of other musicians.... radiohead makes some good music

[dormantreign]

This IS the future of music...and radiohead are the pioneers!!! End

[Tadami10]

Everyone, all of you, shut the fuck up. No one cares if you fucking like or dislike Coldplay, or if you think they are better or worse. To compare musical talent of skilled but totally different musicians is not only close-minded and ignorant, it is also really fucking annoying. As far as I am concerned, music is music. It's all different, it's all good, it's all bad. No one cares what you have to say, oh you internet, unless you can create constructive or at least informed criticism.

[loopyone73]

@Tadami10 Bloody well said mate. Couldn't have put it better myself. =)

[theonlysecretman]

@Tadami10 i totally agree with you...

coldplay are obviously better though =)

[talk45]

@theonlysecretman Radiohead>Coldplay

[Tadami10]

@theonlysecretman t-t-t-t-t-t-t-troll! come on dude.

[RevelShock2007]

@Tadami10 Thank you very fucking much!

[truthemulator]

@Tadami10 hopefully you'll allow me to respectfully disagree with your relativistic bullshit, since that is what your philosophy would promote if you actually follow it through to it's eventual paradox.

[Tadami10]

@truthemulator Yeah I'm sorta surprised that the comment itself has become so popular, it is sort of an ironic thing to say, and yes I am aware of the paradox. That being said, the bullshit you are spewing happens to be just as "relativistic" and the fact of the matter is, by attacking the formulation of the argument and not the argument itself, you perpetuate, (as do I, I am aware) the paradox that you mentioned.

I await a response.

[truthemulator]

@Tadami10 the argument seemingly implies that beauty is contingent upon perspective, but this is an illusion since beauty has an opposite which is ugliness. thus, the only corner to turn would be to deny both beauty and ugliness, which is as speculative as believing in beauty in the first place. a denial of relativism is as unfounded as is affirmation. the paradox as mentioned however, does not exist in denial, but only in most kinds of affirmation.

[Tadami10]

@truthemulator I actually agree with that. However, what I implied by making such a statement was not that only the beauty be recognized, but that we, you know, talk about it. I hate seeing flame wars break out over music. We can express our interests and disinterests, that's cool that we can, and we should allow others that right. We shouldn't, however, impose how we feel about these things on everyone and call them ass hats if they don't back us up. (clearly I am aware of the irony there.)

[truthemulator]

@Tadami10 and with that, lets just leave the discussion as you ended it and call it a day. thanks for the civil conversation.

[SwishAndFlick96]

@Tadami10 i agree

[eyebal]

All bands in existence steal from Radiohead!

[05OsborneRh]

@eyebal Bon Iver don't......

[eyebal]

Ver true. Ver True.

[iluvbleach212]

@05OsborneRh Bon Iver owns all.

[yehudaful1]

Radiohead has a handful of great songs....so does coldplay what makes coldplay better is that radiohead has a lot of outrageously horrible songs and not one of coldplay's songs are bad;]

[talk45]

@yehudaful1 Did you just say Coldplay are better than RH? You fail at life.

[JediJonas007]

Yes, Radiohead is an incredibly intriguing Tarantino flick, but I'd have to say Coldplay is at least a Speilberg film

[Sebastian0093]

RADIOHEAD and COLDPLAY are the Best!!  ; )

[007casino4]

I don't know why you compare Coldplay with Radiohead. Coldplay is a far too overated band. Radiohead is the same as watching a Tarantino movie. Not a lot of people like it but its fucking genious.

[avivitaba]

fucking right man!!!

[BehaviorModification]

Radiohead are to Modern Music what Leonardo da Vinci was to Italian Renaissance Art. They go far beyond being mere musicians, songwriters, & performers. They've become cultural mirrors, producing Art that not only defines the very culture surrounding it but simultaneously & unabashedly reveals to that culture everything that's wonderful and horribly wrong with it.

[MrPonko]

take out the second "the"

The end

[kylwntr]

Muse and Radiohead are two of my all-time favorites, but saying Muse is ripping them off is ridiculous. Their music is actually quite different. They are both incredible bands. And when it comes down to it, see Radiohead live and then see Muse. Muse blows them away.

[BehaviorModification]

I've done it. Seen 'em both live. They're both amazing. No rock band who's come into existence since Radiohead hasn't been influenced by them in 'some' way. They're 2 different generations of Artists who cannot realistically be placed beside one another and judged fairly. They're two different animals. Arguing about who's 'better' is just opinion. So if u simply wanted your opinion stated for the records, I guess "well done" then.

I think the world is a far better place w/"both" bands in it.

[ninjacobra]

Muse Rocks, Radiohead Rock! What else ? alright... everything rocks.. now like farizzal said... listen.

[farizzal]

Muse is fucking good, Radiohead is fucking good. Now everybody shut the fuck up and enjoy the music.

[laurents45]

Just stop comparing bands with Radiohead. Its a helpless matters. You can say Muse sucks but hell you just can't listen Radiohead 24/7. It would be my death someday.

[rdchknnflght]

as good as muse??? you have no idea.

[UberTroll13]

@rdchknnflght

I know...muse suck in comparison, they were decent as a ripoff but now they should just die

[breachmania]

this is bad sorry I like some of their stuff but this is bad

[Monitodeve]

eve

trulobgüeyts

[willynillyism]

these guy are really good live,just a good as muse if not a bit better.

[DemonicMuffinMan]

does anyone else think the part where he says 2 and 2 always makes five sound like motion picture soundtrack

[rellemurdvideo]

dont talk about coldplay on a radiohead video.

[ericthomasdurden]

@rellemurdvideo wait, wait, why cant we like both coldplay and radiohead. cant we all just get along?
