Ed is really underrated. He's an amazing singer and guitarist, and most people don't even know that he can play drums also. I hope he releases a solo album.
@boderadio If want to hear a song by Ed that was actually released, try the song Treefingers off of Kid A. He originally recorded the song as an ambient guitar solo but it was then heavily processed to sound like a synthesizer.
@agk971 "As well as being a self-taught guitarist, he is an accomplished drummer; though his only drum contributions for Radiohead to date have been tom drums on live performances of Hail to the Thief track "There There", a task he shares with Greenwood (though the part they play is put together on a synthesizer on the studio version).,[4] and additional drumming on the b-side Pearly*."
@MEYERS3000 you couldn't be more wrong, sir. Ed is the guy that gives Rh the characteristic atmosphere they're known for having. (karma police ending) he's the second singer (in songs like 2+2=5) lead guitarist when Jonny's playing keyboards or whatever (climbing up the walls, Myxomatosis) and has contributed with composition (part of street spirit, go to sleep) now apologize to him
@Davepumpkinhead I think that he just grabbed all the phrases that they used for kid A (They put them in a hat and pulled them out at random, that's the way they wrote the lyrics). That's why he says "everything in its right place" "Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed" and "wallpaper life"
OMG! It reminds me early pink floyd's works,like some tracks of Ummagumma,for example A Several Species Of A Small Furry Animals Gathered Togheter In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict".
he also wrote the riff for Street Spirit (Fade Out), the opening riff for Go To Sleep, the unreleased track Big Boots and also Meeting In The Aisle, another OK Computer era b -side :)

Interesting at 0:33, he says "I live a wallpaper life of playing guitar in a band"
In the song cuttooth, there's a lyric "I would live a wallpaper life / Or run away to the foreign legion"
Not that it's necessarily connected, just thought that it's not all that common of an expression.

It could be turned into a decent pop song.
Or is that a contradiction in terms?
YouKnowWhereThisEnds 2 years ago 3
It was played live for the first (and last) time during the first webcast Radiohead did. That was back in 2000 if I remember well.
Some refer to this song as the earliest version of "everything in its right place", you can hear it in the song.

everything in it's right place was written and recorded by thom and nigel independent of the rest of the band.
