[HD] Radiohead - My Iron Lung (Live @ Saitama Super Arena - Oct 5, 08 - Tokyo, Japan)

[gunrodoplu]

what did he say at the end?i couldn't understand it...

[PlanetAirsoftPlym]

the camera needs to be permanetly focused on jonny...

[DocAuch22]

I think thats the loudest Ive ever heard Ed sing

[RevNathanD32]

I love the song, cept for the screamy part, could have done without that.

[kuroda0]

It's been a while since I ask, could anyone enlighten me on what Jonny's doing at 4:29 with his Telecaster? Kind of special effect that he uses?

[DEEECKED]

@kuroda0 It's called a killswitch. It basically stops any signal the guitar sends, he presses it very quickly creating that effect. It's typically mounted on a guitar. Youtube it, tons of people have them.

[IdiotActionFilms]

@kuroda0 He makes his laptop (using a software called Max) repeat the last note he played really quick.

[PlanetAirsoftPlym]

@IdiotActionFilms it not he is using a killswitch and a digitec whammy pedal

[stbr68]

HOLY SHIT.

I was listening to this with headphones on, and I don't know why, but for the coda Ed's voice totally drowned out Thom's. It was spooky as hell, hearing this deep, flat, heavily accented voice come in when I was expecting Thom's wails.

[MrBogi89]

i love this song and band but this concert is total shit and this song and stage performance is very very very bad and disapointing BIG DISLIKE thx

[PlanetAirsoftPlym]

I love the mix of the digitec whammy and the Killswitch it absolutely is a musical orgasm

[TheMostModestPerson]

This concert is a masterpiece.

[theastralproject]

Bass needs to be stronger in this song... Colin is playing slap and we can never hear it :c

[dpthomas37]

Johnny is absolutely sick in this video. He makes that guitar his total slave.

[MrMushroomhunter]

For this rock songs i want separate camera which will be shoot Jonny *__*

[DrumBum561]

is there anywhere i can rip this show? like piratebay?

[Morrison1249]

perfect song

[goobygeeban]

its chuck norris in disguise!!!!!!!!

[DEEECKED]

Those 5 dislikes are probably just the members of Radiohead fucking with us.

[NewMasterA1]

@DEEECKED what about nigel? :P

[mogumunarok]

@DEEECKED now it's 6.. nigel is fucking with out too O_O

[cexperience]

@mogumunarok jajajajajajaja good one! XD

[mogumunarok]

@cexperience *with us too lol i typed that wrong... glad u still understand that xD

[PlanetAirsoftPlym]

@DEEECKED and now nigel godrich is fucking with us :P

[CTeamAwsome]

Thom yorke hates this song and when he hates his music he tends to give it a lack of effort, but you know its his opinion not mine or anyone elses.

[SendInTheChickens]

@CTeamAwsome i don't get a lack of effort from this at all

[CTeamAwsome]

@SendInTheChickens ya i messed up this was supposed to be on the creep video damn...sorry

[SendInTheChickens]

@CTeamAwsome ha, ok!

[TheOneartist]

@CTeamAwsome Are you sure? Do you have a source? I can definitely see that with Creep but not this song. This was actually written as a response to Creep.

[CTeamAwsome]

@TheOneartist I know I have already told somebody that I made a mistake, I was actually supposed to comment on the creep video! (fail)

[TheOneartist]

@CTeamAwsome haha Yeah, it does seem like Thom played Creep for his amusement. They played that live at the Reading festival, it's called.

[TheOneartist]

@CTeamAwsome And this is much better musically and lyrically than Creep, even though the style is similar.

[CTeamAwsome]

@TheOneartist Yes i agree creep is a very overrated song.

[ginosupernova]

Temazooooooo! que pedazo de banda Radiohead!

[jackmacvan]

I love Radiohead but they are just not tight here. Bass and drums are 1/64 off making it unpleasant to listen to.

[V100BB]

@jackmacvan 1/64? stop trying to be clever. It sounds fine.

[D4K0T5]

@jackmacvan

I can't tell the difference. And even if I could, I would let it slide because IT'S LIVE.

[ztikmaen]

@joseph02251 But they put it on The Bends right? Yeah, now I remember that it was recorded earlier

[armandgoya]

HOT PANTS!!!!.... <3......

[ztikmaen]

This song sounds it was supposed to be on Pablo Honey lol

[joseph02251]

@ztikmaen it was recorded during the pablo honey period

[Jezro]

All Jonny does is love the Whammy

[knightofeurasia]

@Jezro he isnt using a whammy though

[Jezro]

@knightofeurasia He's using it for the octaver on the intro riff...

And at that solo at 3:46, it's riddled with little Whammies...namely 4:02

4:29 = Whammy + killswitch

4:38 = Whammy + killswitch

4:50 -> There are sllides with whammy out the ass

[TheCureRSX]

Really good job on the cameras!!

[blender315]

Greenwood is fuckin' awesome!

[ztikmaen]

@blender315 Which one? Both.

[jackwearing]

I love Kid A and pretty much everything that came after it, but it's videos like this that make me wish they'd sometimes do rock songs again...

[LaGulaDelNorte]

@jackwearing so agreee

[mook5555]

@jackwearing Agreed. Give us one more album in the vein of The Bends/OK Computer!

[lordmalberry]

Totally. Make another rock album for sure. That's what the worlds been waiting for Thom! Let everyone know that you're the best band on the planet by light years, then you can call it quits, but don't fade away like R.E.M. that would suck.

[cucharitz]

@jackwearing mmm bodysnatchers is amazing, they still do rock songs.

[ellioteaston93]

0:01 is soo creepy :S

[Ozmega11]

Thom kinda underperformed here. Am I the only one thinking this?

Probably tired or something.

[RocketMirCor]

Fucking jonny greenwood!

[jfrizzlle]

the only bad thing about this video is the fuckin add camera angles and movements

[JoshIlandia]

Memorable Min. 3:32

[spongecheesecupcake]

i think my favorite thing about radiohead is that they can sound exactly the same live as they do on the album, but they just make it sooo much better.

[Assatian]

@spongecheesecupcake I agree but, to be fair, the studio version of this song is based around a live recording.

[sunK907]

i just hate bands except this one

[hullabaloowarior]

The most epic part of the song is... THE WHOLE SONG!

I like how Thom Yorke nails the open G chord. :) (Read in Peter Giriffin's voice).

[tinsaint]

@hullabaloowarior lol!

[SethHesio]

Thom Yorke seemed kinda bored with the song? anyone?

[cosx3]

@SethHesio

Yes! I feel so sad whenever I see them perform songs from the bends/pablo honey and its not the same... they're not angry little kids anymore, I know, but still.... the Live at the Astoria performance is ORGASMIC. Didn't even know it was the version used on the bends till someone pointed it out...

[SethHesio]

@cosx3 It's a terrific song, and one that's kind of better when heard live. It's so powerful. For my money the best Radiohead performance is Glastonbury 1997. Watch that if you haven't already, it's unbelievable... and there are a lot of myths surrounding their performance.

[PochoProfeta145]

Jonny is using a 12 string guitar or what ?

[jakeadamsonmusic]

@PochoProfeta145 no no hes using a digi tech wammy pedal that its a pitch shifter built like a wah with a harmony mode and then he does wicked pitch shifting trics in the solo :P :)

[PochoProfeta145]

@jakeadamsonmusic

thanks ;) :)

[che225]

Este video es genial, la calidad de Radiohead no pasa a pesar de los años....(y)

[osamaismael]

I used not to like this band, the time i was listening to LP and 3DG shit.. but after I listened to Pink Floyd, opeth, led zeppelin and those great bands... I appreciated How great and creative Radiohead are..

[rem0il]

At 3:33 Jonny is a rockstar

[BFBeli]

Anyone who criticizes Radiohead is a joke.

If you're so brilliant, why aren't you selling millions of records?

[OpakeArawra2]

@BFBeli that's one of lamest, easiest arguments to dismiss when we live in a world where eminem is still allowed to make records and when eyedea died barely anyone cared. we live in a world where patrick swayzy died around the same time as norman borlaug and the media chose the guy who had been in some lame 80's movies or some shit over the guy who saved the lives of OVER A BILLION HUMAN BEINGS.

[joemunkey30]

@BFBeli ecellent point

although to be fair justin beiber probably has sold ten times more lol

[aledobretociastko]

@joemunkey30 Well, I agree Bieber sucks, even if he is so famous. But it doesn't matter. If someone can't see that Radiohead is easily one of the best bands of our times (best IMO, but it's subjective) he must be idiot. Deaf idiot I guess.

[joemunkey30]

@aledobretociastko Yeah, radiohead are the best band of recent times. end of.

[aledobretociastko]

@joemunkey30 "Best" is not proper word, you just can't call one artist "best", but we agree - they are on of the greatest of 90's, of 00's... Just the greatest. :)

[joemunkey30]

@aledobretociastko Im talking about my opinion in my opinion there the best band of recent times

[lampshade429]

Anyone saying that this band is boring does not understand music. This band is many things, least of which is boring.

[OpakeArawra2]

@lampshade429 that's bullshit. i know a lot of things about music, and i am 100% certain that radiohead is boring hack bullshit.

[lampshade429]

@OpakeArawra2 If that is truly the case, listen to Paranoid Android by Radiohead. As someone who knows "a lot of things about music" you should appreciate this music. If you still can't appreciate Radiohead I feel bad for you because this is some of the most complex and interesting music out there. Beyond that, there really isn't any need for us to continue a comment page shouting match because we have a simple difference of opinion.

[squalidshake]

i love radiohead but it needs more cowbell

[OpakeArawra2]

i fucking hate this band. i really fucking hate this band really hard.

[manka6]

Terrible drumming, boring band.

[mogumunarok]

@manka6 boring band???? seriously? get a life 

[WeirdEnoughVideos]

@manka6 then i guess your too ignorant to listen to music. go back and listen to beiber bitch.

[tinsaint]

@manka6 if you dont like it dont watch it...

[julianuary]

Notice that this track is the only track when Colin plays a "slap bass" technique.

In other songs he plays bass , fingerpicking the strings.

[OpakeArawra2]

@julianuary i could literally skip around that bassist playing slap bass 100 times better than he plays in this song.

[julianuary]

@OpakeArawra2 Maybe because

a) Colin didn't used that technique in the whole song

b) In this particular performance bass was mixed very quietly. You can barely hear it.

[OpakeArawra2]

@julianuary not surprising that radiohead would be a bunch of noobs and hire shitty sound techs.

[julianuary]

@OpakeArawra2 First of all, Radiohead aren't a bunch of noobs, second, it's not their fault that this concert was mixed that way. And finally: Stop trippin balls! Spamming isn't good for you.

[LukeGriffths121]

@OpakeArawra2 I can't stand people like you, not everything in music is about how technically good you are you cunt.

[vic80895]

johnny was kind of sloppy

[RToffler]

Camera dude needs to chill.

[IamTheScorchedEarth]

japanese camera men are AWESOME

[SuperiFox]

@BrookChan3212 i prefer keep vid.

[devilshaircutnessity]

OOoo AAAAaaaaaaaaahh EARGASMICCC

[gasball0]

I love at the end when Ed starts singing. :)

[tortisetoaster]

Unbelievable song.

But is it just me or are they playing the chorus a bit to quick in this version?

[markitens]

@tortisetoaster Yes, but just a little in the beginning.

[alifuitm]

long live radiohead

[yayito]

FUCKING EPIC !!!!!

[SexyManatee2121]

Dude, thank you for putting this up, all the other versions I was finding sucked

[happydan205]

Is it just me or does anyone else really enjoy hearing Eds vocals near the end of the song? They sound far more audible than in other recordings I've seen so far :)

[DjSounDro]

Lucky bastards seeing Radiohead live, and they don't know the lyrics???

[crixox]

@DjSounDro you can learn japonese lyrics?

[DjSounDro]

@crixox If I was a big fan of an Japonese band, may be... Also I'm Portuguese and I know the Radiohead lyrics, because I'm a big fan!

[Profy00]

@crixox you can't learn portuguese either and we know it

[rdgoborges]

Awesome! I love the way Jonny plays his telecaster!! One of the best guitar players ever!

[fefsfdssdv]

did the telecaster plus come with a push button on it or did he mod it? and can u mod a guitar to have one? it would be really useful if u could

[Edwardwas]

@fefsfdssdv He retrofitted the push button/kill switch on. It's supposed to be a fairly easy mod, but I'm still to scared to do it to my tele.

[mediocrefunkybeat]

@fefsfdssdv It's not too hard to Mod. I've modded a PRS Santana SE and my Strat. Basically, you attach the switch to re-route the signal to the ground. It's quite a simple mod, just requires a little bit of brain-engage when you're doing it.

[retuercete]

Amazing.

[yayito]

fucking epic

[blackbeltbrown]

who writes the lyrics?in this band?

[Siensane]

@blackbeltbrown Thom Yorke

[asloem]

@blackbeltbrown thom does. although jonny wrote the lyrics to the tourist.

[puraabooludess]

lolololpol

[hermano1383]

fucking orgasmic

[SingHouse]

@hermano1383 Sir,

I couldn't have said it better.

Good day.

[JoshuaSuperham]

At 2:20, it appears Michael Bay has taken over directing the cameras.

[u2forinterpol]

exellent bassline

[SingHouse]

@u2forinterpol yep. As always great bands always have amazing bass lines underpinning their harmony. Look at paul maccartney

[OpakeArawra2]

@u2forinterpol WHAT. THE FUCK. NO. THAT BASSLINE SUCKS AND FUCK YOU GUY!

[hodyou7ube]

Does anyone know how Jonny does that stuttering/tremolo effect at 4'28? I can't say if it's a killswitch or not...

[123WEBB123]

i think he is flicking Pickup switch i could be wrong but thats what i do with my guitar. If you have multiple tone dials you can turn off a pickup and effectively create a killswitch.

[imaginecolor]

the telecaster plus doesnt have multiple volume dials

[tbruchey]

No I think he has a push button installed, kind of like Buckethead has.

[pepperleg]

it's a killswitch man

[aesf1231]

es la cancionq ue mas me gusta de radiohead ahhhh yo queria verlos ahhhh que mal , que beuna banda es la mejor de este f**cking planeta

[TheDanSandwich]

Does anyone know what kind of guitar Ed is using?

[Fudgeisdope12345]

It's a custom handmade guitar built by radiohead's technician: Plank

[charles4hl]

ebow, it holds the note you're on

[TheDanSandwich]

I know what an ebow is, I've actually used one before. I was wondering about the guitar itself, as I've never seen anyone else use one like it.

[dareinsanity]

david gilmore

[FaraFright]

Man, they get really tired at the end of a set huh.

Gotta love Jonny's killswitch though.

[roooxaaanneee]

great song ♥

[eksplodo]

colin is wearing the same tshirt as in "from the basement"

[bgnorima]

they are really good playing yours instruments live, tom sings so sweat!

[adabuensuceso]

it´s not the voice suckers its justsound likee a demoooo that alll

[Flowerbranche]

No one is playing the electric piano? It's on tape?

[tommyaw123]

there isnt electro piano in this. Slide Guitar, Lead Guitar, Rythmn, Bass and Drums.

Think you might be getting mixed up with the effect that Ed is getting with that slider thing he uses

[dareinsanity]

acually it just an ebow not a slide

[tommyaw123]

hence the words "Slider Thing"

[Genius13091980]

new melodys rocks!!! change, radiohead always change!

[l3inaryl3urnout]

why does thom sing the old bends era songs really weirdly now?

[DaNameIzMaxMofo]

cant sing quite the same as before

[apocalypselat3r]

what do you mean? that really sucks i personally haven't noticed that but i've only been to one show of theirs..

[Alaestr]

His voice have changed as you can hear.

[oetzy]

radiohead changes everything from album to album...

[iloah666]

Bothered by the editing. Otherwise, best quality clips from this tour I've seen.

[ripcordnews]

The editing sucks on this video.

[fantomseed]

dang i would have loved to be able to go this concert. Looks amazing.

[yayamax]

この曲めちゃくちゃ好きだけどまさか聞けると思ってなかったから­ジョニーのあのギターが始まった時には頭が真っ白になった　でもあんまり客がのってないように見えるけど気のせいかな。

[bassart94]

yup, leafvongola, and get one if you have the money, makes your life a lot easier

[ManfredMitchum]

are these guys gonna come back to the United States, or is South America it, and then on to work on the next album which includes Super Collider and friends?

[GenericInsect1979]

Great sounds from Ed but Thom's voice sounds very weak here, like it could crack at any minute

[Theblob516]

Yeah..exactly

[theatomguy11]

probably because he's almost in tears the whole concert, like every concert.

[HyvelTjuven]

Why is he almost in tears?

[BigDaddyXerxes]

Because that's what Thom Yorke does.

[acmilanccmr9]

no.

Colin Greenwood use the standard tuning

[rt258593]

fuckin special

i was there

thanks for upload

[thisisourpostrock]

i remember moshing to this in Berlin.

best memory of 2008 for sure.

[YouShotMarvin]

i love ed popping in at the end

[hmc20]

that stage is amazing!

that band is amazing!

that song is amazing!

i guess the only word to describe this is....

[AeroWing]

...Wonderful?

[MBGGT]

The music is great.... BUT.....the camera action and lights just triggered an epileptic seizure .... I'm laying on the floor ....

HELP..........

[Juni44ever]

Yeah. And, of course, you can write while having an epileptic seizure laying on the floor.
