Ed O'brien of Radiohead at Lollapalooza

[morvelification]

1:01 oh that's cool. well that feels nice

[Sunlight70]

Blimey, one of the greatest guitarists of our time in one of the greatest groups of our time and he's still totally unaffected and natural. Top bloke. Can't believe I've never seen Radiohead live - it's just become my life's ambition... :-)

[mjnotso98]

Before clicking on this video I figured the title forgot to include Phil, nvm

[RussellThePumpkin]

Ed is very relaxed in interviews compared to some of the other members.

[cbrooks0905]

He looks like that dude from house, especially when he is scruffy

[budwhite1]

Radiohead, possibly the best band to ever come out of England, and that's saying something....

The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, The Who, Genesis, Dire Straits, The Cure, New Order, Blur, Massive Attack, The Prodigy, Muse, Coldplay...

:D

[GuyWithThreeEyes]

With the exception of Muse, of course.

[daftpunkrocker221]

after watching this I found out that I want to marry a man just like ed. Beautiful voice, tall, can play guitar, good taste in music, likes soccer and is adorable :)

[brybry308]

i think he said 'i dont know' but he said it a lil fast....thats why he repeats himself......but im pretty sure he said Adam.

[anujbeatles]

Did he just call Ed 'Adam' at 0.44 ?

[xgunwingx]

he said "ed, i'm not sure"

[anujbeatles]

Watch it again, dude. He definitely called him 'Adam' :P

[iSabotage]

Nah, he just repeated "and I'm"

[radioivan18]

jajajaja what a funny man, why he called adam??? i mean, if you going to interview this god, you have to know his name

[Jonmad17]

@anujbeatles He just stumbled "And I'm, i'm not sure"

[bubblepopelictric]

hes so cute but thom and jonny outshine him:/

[blackbeltbrown]

@bubblepopelictric well cos hes not one of ur regualar guitarists. Jonny gets attention cos he does solos and thom sings.

[zerochance01]

when Ed said In Rainbows...i was shocked i was watching this vid and i seriously thought it was like from hail to the theif or even before that...cause he looks young!!!....he aged really well....HE IS ONE FINE LOOKING MAN!!!

[NeedLessPopMusic]

@zerochance01 And then there's Thom Yorke XD

[KaneTheTurtle]

Great interview

[davulture]

Ed asks him if Mayor Daley is in charge of the event, and he responds "Mayor Daley is actually the Mayor here." What a moron.

[SimonRivas]

and now i know how to pronounce IDIOTEQUE lol

[hamdigidy]

i like how he say's some fans all modest like.

[anchorlove06]

That there is a good looking man

[hellojenny20]

f*ck yeah...Daley is a fan of Radiohead!

[RussMaGuss]

took the train to the show yay

is ed like the most interviewed member in radiohead today? hahaha

[spartan9185]

Q101 used to be good. Now they blow cock.

[MCshlthead]

i always get the impression that ed is stoned, he always seems like hes taking the piss in these interviews. gotta love the ed

[ElGrandeOutrageous]

hey now...XRT is not THAT bad...they play better songs more often than q101...now thats a shitty shit station

[saladfingerz17]

the show was fucking amazing

one of hte greatest shows ive ever seen

[b0tes]

inrainbows disc two picks up right where the protagonist in videotape bids adieu, and then jumps right into "down is the new up".

in this song, the narrator reassures the listener that no harm will come "without [advance] warning", only to find that warning now staring the listen right in their face, via the words and the title of the disc's closing number, "4-minute warning."

[b0tes]

without slamming it over everyone's head, ed makes perfect reference again to the idea of flow within the scope of a radiohead album, this time as it is depicted in the album inrainbows.

like each album before it, every song is in its right place, like a sole piece of a jigsaw, fleshing out the larger finished picture.

[theox25]

OMG the best 11 is a football analogy to picking the starting 11 for a match

[simplelife88393]

Great interview, it's always nice to listen to Ed.

[bluefoxxgrl]

What a great interview! Ed is the fucking man! In Rainbows (including the bonus disk) changed my life! I got to see them in Atlanta and that show was tight! I love this band so much. Thanks for sharing! :)

[swedishzug]

down is a new up is is excellent!

[Koopgeminikiller]

the fucking man.  Loved that night!

[hughbie93]

Doesn't In Rainbows only have 10 tracks?

[MiniDJBeirne]

on the first cd, there is a bonus cd though

[hughbie93]

yea, i know that...but he keeps saying that picking the songs was like picking the best 11

[MiniDJBeirne]

oh he meant their best 11 from all their other cds

[hughbie93]

no, man I watched it again, he's talking about picking the songs for in rainbows. Ed may be one of the coolest people in existence, but he's only human, he makes mistakes.

[spellingmastake]

the reason he says best 11 is because he is using a football annalogy. He even says so. He is comparing picking the best songs for in rainbows to a manager picking the best 11 football players to play the match.

[kidrinlimbo]

No, Ed, you are wrong, sir. I mean the new songs are great but I#d rather get Paranoid Android than faust Arp. :D I

[swedishzug]

faust sucks!

[Taydiggity03]

Man they killed it that night.

[mykidsister]

uhhh looking fyne

UNF UNF

[t4nith]

I don't know why but i always got the impression that ed would be the kind of person who likes football... good to hear that confirmed! wonder what team he supports...

[p4tr10ts12]

I'm pretty certain that he's a huge Manchester United fan and supporter.

[makotome]

i love the way you can really tell he's being sencere on the question about the album, and so enthusiastic on the way it all happened... he truly is charming, i love he's deep voice :)

[dsignrdane]

ed's the mack!! i love how he talks about not doing music for the money and REALLY means it. that's inspiring.

can anyone tell what's being played in the background?

[MitchS4350]

I like how he says they encourage public transportation, as if to impress him. At least it seems.

[GunslingerXYZ]

Radiohead is the greatest band ever. Ed O'Brien's very charming.

[mugggwuffin]

he's a fashion god

[MrRPapoose]

Ugh i forgot, this is my brothers account. Im not a mister, im a miss!

[MrRPapoose]

Ed. Is. Mine.

He was wearing the same sunglasses and hat on 8/9 whist watching Kings Of Leon from the side of the stage. My friend spotted him.

[jonnygreeny111]

I wonder how they divide the mixing up with the band (all 6 members). I mean, phil probably takes a backseat, but I don't know really.

[naterciapsouza]

Hi baby Ed O'Brien!

You are gorgeous as always!Wow!

Ed is so amazing, nice and the good-looking man of the Band!

Ed has a very sensual, beautiful voice.

Love his smile...

And it was a sorrow can not to see his very beautiful blue eyes!I prefer when Ed is not wearing sunglasses ans hat.

I can't wait to see Radiohead live here in 2009 and in particular my muse, prince, baby ED, of course.

Ed O' Brien is always the best!

lots of love,

natercia p souza

[moderntrinitys]

I like this interviewer; many radio guys are just so annoying. This guy does it well. I'm not sure why Ed couldn't've just put his headphones on his head instead of holding them for 10 minutes, but, oh well. It was, truly, a fantastic show.

[tommyblunt]

this show was AMAZING!!!

[radioheadfan2323]

i know jack about football/soccer... can i guess that there are ten on the field and one in the cage?

[madmatt3000uk]

Best live band ever. I can tell you this, ive seen them.

[ctseng]

Ed for the win.

[aiyish86]

Ed the Hat

[wildstyle592]

yea i understood it, eds not an idiot guys

[manlardjr]

Thanks for the interview. This is really great!

:)

[servo1056]

am i the only one who understood the joke about 11songs and not 10 songs on in rainbows?

[fakeplastctreefingrs]

haha looks like ed doesn't know how many songs are on his own record

[weirdfishjacek]

Just referring to Ed's slip-up in the interview. Got too carried away with the football metaphor, the dear man :P

[robbro7]

You can never get too carried away with football metaphors :P

[weirdfishjacek]

Hahaha, I love Ed! And I love all eleven songs on In Rainbows.

He's so loquacious.

[Mambuto]

You mean 10, right?

[MrRPapoose]

Loquacious means talkative....is that what you meant?

[Paulineuuh]

Thank you for posting this video ! I saw Radiohead in the European tour 3 times, and I have to admit I miss the guys :( What a nice way to share a few moment with Ed "master" O'Brien. Love the hat :p Thank you for the interview.

[93XRT]

Glad you enjoy the video! It is always nice to be able to see what is going on behind the scenes.

[friedegg3000]

haha...ed's the sheezy :)

[nfiles]

spacey :D
