Thom Yorke interview part 3 of 3

[Thekdylan]

5:37 you can see a bug fly by... the same one that Thom tried to kill earlier in the interview

[jumpinjoe88]

Even on "fox"... did he just swear?

[AlienEnigma84]

yeah they turned the camera off and got naked son! lol. great interview though.

[oddun]

Pure artist that man. Hats off Thom.

[jbenbeniste]

It's awesome that he mentions modeselektor in that interview and now he's on the new album

[boogli]

@jbenbeniste I just had the same reflection :) awesome oblivion :)

[piperjo99]

OMG...What that as good for you as it was for me?!!!!! Ah...satisfaction.

[FakePlasticShrimp]

HEAD, BITCH YOU FORGOT YOU'RE INTERVIEWING HIM FROM 'RADIO HEAD', my god... good work though, you did well.

[pebaban20]

his hair is cool

[granzl]

Falsche deutsche Übersetzung: er spricht über George Orwells "NEWspeak" - also "Neusprech", und nicht "Nachrichtensprache"

Nichtsdestotrotz grandioses Interview

[mootbooxle]

This is THE best interview I've ever seen with Thom!!

[wolfeman323232]

@mootbooxle have you seen reflections on kid a???

[mootbooxle]

@wolfeman323232 yeah! It is a nice interview, but Thom skirted a lot of questions in it...understandably though...I didn't much care for the interviewer either. This though? This I like. Everyone is relaxed and enjoying themselves.

[wolfeman323232]

@mootbooxle i agree, i just like the other one for his reactions. it gives people a look into who he really is and what he stands for. as well as what he is willing to say on tellevision. i thought it was great, but i also love how this one is more relaxed :)

[mootbooxle]

I would really like to spend some time with this woman.

[adultrestriction]

"newspeak" He even manages to casually reference a specific fictional language from a crucially significant novel to strengthen his point.

I really adore Thom.

[Shaunography]

I'd like to know where the interviewer is from...

[boogli]

@Shaunography it was taken on hurriane festiwal in Germany, for German tv show "fast forward" with Charlotte roche which was shown on amazing viva zwei- when they close it, it was continued on viva for a year only ;/ thsi one is from viva

[Sarusource]

That really was a great interview. Good incites, good humour, good banter. The mic could have been a little longer and more phalic though.

[cKunke2]

@Sarusource Definitely could have used a more phalic microphone

[fazleyrabbi]

best german tv (viva) interview man!

[ToupTheMister]

@SypherDubstep wtf xD

[rudrarrr]

its all thom yorke.

[F0CUS24]

how could 5 people dislike this brilliant interview? that is as candid as Thom Yorke can get

[MrChimei]

His best interview hands down.

[alsinger100]

I always wonder, when people comment about the flirty nature of this interview...do either Thom or Rachel ever look at this stuff? I wonder if it's distressing to either of them - I mean, even if the sexual tension is in our heads - just the comments must raise questions.

Same thing when folks comment that they hate Rachel. How much can an artist appreciate their fans when they make such statements about someone he cares about? Public life must be such a hassle.

[TheJimmypage82]

that was the best interview with thom yorke EVER!

[TheJesperAble]

Everything he says... I think the same about stuff and, I think alot as well... I feel kind of connected to Thom, somehow

[MrPlatonist]

@TheJesperAble

don't we all xD this morning i woke up and decided to pick up the guitar. first thing i played was "lucky". hoping that this day, it could change... >.<;;;

[ireternalexistence]

He can't believe his luck. The surprise on his face is cracking me up xD

[DonSpaeth]

regimechange... yeah...

[1005MYBABY]

4:35 You want me? Fucking come on and break the door down I'm ready .............

[10kokesly]

@1005MYBABY lmfao



[beachtownboy]

you have to read her book 'feuchtgebiete'. unfortunately it's only in german.

[eyebal]

The comments suck.

[crushxcrushxbaby]

This whole interview is pretty great, but @ 6:20 on to the end it gets extremely flirty ;) If I were that lady, it would be ON.

[semperfidelis3100]

My political views are polar opposite of Thom's but I can't deny his sincerity.

[srimecrime]

Lange Wörter sind lang!

[martilook]

"regime change *whistles*" hahahah.

[Shawnium101]

They seriously make a sweet couple. I wonder if any of the following albums and songs were about her ^^ Thom Yorke-The king of limbs

[jStrat7]

i feel so enlightened right now. hahaha. love this man.

[jonnyspa27]

That was a great interview, she's lovely!

[dgrady29940]

what an insightful guy damn

[0x0snowflake0x0]

he is never boring, u always want to listen to what he is saying

i love Thom <3

[marmites11]

I reckon a lot of people don't like him cause he's such an awkward talker, but having a long interview like this shows what he's really like.

[ScenesFromPalacio]

What a frikkin' brilliant interview..She's great and he's really relaxed (a bit merry) and really eloquent n witty..Magic :)

[leofoley1234]

Maybe he was a bit drunk, I just wondered that because of his wine glass. I'm not too sure about it, but it's always a possibility.

[1235788888]

who is the interviewer shes sexy.

[Professicchio]

@1235788888 Her name is on the left top corner of the video.

[lifeisanotherlife]

Flirty bastards. Love them

[almightydanielle]

Sexual tention? Yes. Jealous? Yes.

[wackyzaky7]

ARE YOU WEARING WELLINGTON'S?

[REIrg2620pgm301]

This interview made my day!

[ratmasterpro]

what's wrong with his eye? i always thought he did it on purpose

[WoodnPalette]

@BestOfTheBestNumber9 I don't think that's a habit man, she's plain sexy.

[Drumnbeats3]

I need to send this chick a list of my other favorite bands so she can interview them, because this is brilliant.

[MrGreenplastic101]

I wish we had a music channel like this in holland. the only people that are interviewed on our music channels are crappy pop artists who have nothing interesting to say :( Thom is great btw.

[dirtycelinefrenchman]

Thom Yorke for Prime Minister 

[The1Guitarist1]

Who else wanted them to kiss? :P

[embo5252]

@The1Guitarist1  me!!

[AndrewWerdna1000]

@The1Guitarist1 I was waiting for them to pounce on eachother...

[elgntlove3]

Thanks for helping other countries understand that most Americans were and still are aganist the war, Thom! This was an amazing interview.

[elgntlove3]

@LolaVolaHola British? You don't say!..... His accent didn't give it away at all..... If you re-read my comment, you will see I never said he was an American. Thanks for trying to point that out though.

[LolaVolaHola]

@elgntlove3 sorry, I misread it the second I posted that comment.. that's why I deleted it. My bad.

[nonkonform]

Really nice interview, but Modeselektor consists of 2 people.

[tueybooo]

flirtin!

[TheInvincibleBliss]

The beginning of the video... what's the song?

[dantebassz]

@TheInvincibleBliss 2 + 2 = 5

[mindingosafado]

Hahaha, bolts out of his seat "Are you wearing Wellingtons?!"

<3

[dgmc09productions]

@filmtime166 oh wow you bearly noticed

[uhemora]

this is the first reviewer i've seen who hasnt wanted a member of radiohead punch them in the face, props to her.

[K1D4MN3S14C]

How seasonable!

[chronkituss]

yeah she's beautiful and smart which I'm sure makes Thom relieved to see in a journalist. This is a great interview and makes me think of Thom in a much better way than before.

[peanutbuttercrunc100]

"regime change...no thats called WAR!" lol how very true.

[SaoLorenco]

i think thom should be a communist. a democratic anti-stalinist marxist.

[dontbro]

she did the exact same thing with all the members of the red hot chili peppers in separate interviews

she's a rock band slut

[halifuckinfan]

@dontbro The issue being? If I could interview/ seduce Neko Case, Emily Haines and D'arcy Wretzky?!? I'd be ALL OVER that. She gets that chance.

[jasonC9595]

Too bad Thom's taken D: Otherwise they could've made intelligent babies! :O

[Mayna00]

I want them to have a baby together.

[fruitypeebils]

Radiohead is my favorite band and thom is my new hero. It's too bad im way too stupid to understand what's going on here.

[Vonpars]

Tom Yorke seems very relaxed and comfortable around Charlotte Roche, needless to say a great interview.

[johannamm21287]

I love when Thom talks about the war protest in San Francisco. Makes me proud to be from around here! There were lots of us against the war BEFORE it even began!

Fantastic interview. The best I've seen with Thom... he seemed so relaxed and open. He and the interviewer are so cute together. haha

[warrenmusic]

Thom is flirting with this interviewer so bad here. Who wouldn't though? She's intelligent, cute, and clearly into him.

[octohorse]

the only way to change the situation is to cultivate an alternative. Permaculture is my hope. We won't need the companies as much if we grow our own food.

as a san franciscan who has been arrested for protesting so much that I had to take a year off (a court-ordered year off) I am placing my hopes on developing local foods and local currencies

[cerby89]

that was hot

[helicrashpro]

It is easy to be relaxed around her.

[Enceladux]

I wanna watch mooooore!!! :o

[Renegadesays]

he was happy then

[JayDiggs12]

These two are both intelligent and charming.

[PHILIBOYLONDON78PH]

Damn those two are eye fucking the shot out of eachother!! I would too, there's somethong so mysterious and wymsical about that girl.

[mkennon10]

6:40

"...but we can chat afterward"

[DoctorNickson]

i love the way he says "it's the shit" :D

[cynthiailly]

Great interview! I almost didn't watch this because it seems like most of the Thom Yorke interviews I've watched are kind of awkward, he always seems uncomfortable and nervous in them. Glad I watched this one because it's really great, the interviewer does a good job establishing a rapport with him and asks him intelligent questions. He seems very relaxed and open and yeah, there's a little bit of chemistry and flirting between the two, lol.

[C0DZ0R]

"Are you wearing wellingtons?" lol

[guitarlessons4you]

Hey Noah,

What's up?

[dhfhdfhd]

This is just a great interview.

Unfortunatly the music channel that broadcasted this (VIVA) was bought by MTV. The girl that did the interview (Charlotte Roach) was fired soon after that. Kind of sad.

But she wrote a pretty interesting book after that about femenism and sex and a lot of disgusting well discribed scenes. (It's called wetlands).

[Ineedwords1121]

I am an american but if I may id like to sound English for a moment. THIS INTERVIEW IS BLOODY BRILLIANT. I love it. Thank you U.K. for all your beautiful music.

[enacra101]

@Ineedwords1121 yeah its to bad here in the US we have to suffer from all the crap they play these days.. the UK has no idea how lucky they are

[louistrong]

This is the best interview with Thom that I've seen.

[ciggitycheckyoself]

Yeah mosy definately THE SEXIEST is around 4:40 somthin he starts rubbing his neck and I'm like OMG is he arroused...he's hot. Awesome interview- Thom Im in love

[KilikaDrums]

he most definately fancied her... she's naise.

[mrpicky510]

It's not about our world presence, simply doing the right thing to eliminate threats. We all, worldwide have to ban together to try to defeat terrorism it's hit England first hand there's no rulebook on how to deal with these shitheads I think we all need to unify ourselves against the hatred for our way of living

[Flophole]

in the real world there aren't good guys and bad guys. "terrorists" are known as "freedom fighters" and "heroes" where they're from, because their intentions are benevolent. nobody is evil, and trying to eradicate the non-existent evil will result in our self destruction.

[mrpicky510]

Antiamerican asshole. Let's see how he feels when we leave the Brits to fend for themselves. It's easy to pick on american shortcommings but I don't see anyone else stepping up. I hated bush, voted for Obama but it changes nothing. The fight against terroists still rings true

[mos277]

@mrpicky510 oh yea because we need to step in and help the brits from what terrorists

[jalepenomack]

2:18 owned

[KilikaDrums]

@jalepenomack haha was that a fly?

[tromai56]

Could anyone subtitle it inEnglish?

I barely audible...

[kmcc2576]

They Banged.

[richienakamura]

through the medium of philosophical discussion

[kmcc2576]

It was hot.

[Snorlux7591]

totally

[patchh15]

Probably the most influential interview I've ever seen.

There's a thing with me and politics, where for me I find myself at that age (or in my terms just my age), not giving a shit about it.

I keep up with it because in general I see the news. How could you not? I understand how important it is. I'm just not at a point where I find it easy to be fascinated by and get involved in.

This interview really gripped me though, I almost wished I was there giving my own views.

A connection was there.

[beliefactionnexus]

i felt exactly the same. well said. excellent interview.

[Soulstorm9000]

This interviewer IS great. She brings Thom out of his shell, which is no mean feat.

Probably one of the best interviewers I've seen.

What's her name, anyone??

[orxmorx]

Charlotte Roche, a german writer an journalist.

[Soulstorm9000]

Thanks mate! (Orxmorx)

[NbaRapLover]

i did not want this interview to come to a stop...ever.

[tommart123]

"Are you wearing wellingtons?"

"Yes, we're on a festival"

"How terribly sensible"

Brilliant!

[TheDanzor]

wow, i love this interviewer

[ferrarif40]

It's funny that he's so politically charged but at the same time admits he only really delves into it mentally for around ten minutes a day. That's the real problem, everyone is too fat and happy to change anything. There won't be a real movement to change anything until it becomes more painful not to. And when that time comes it will probably be too late. Not saying we will become totalitarian nations but we are not terribly far away.

[xXxTwiggyzLovexXx]

Mmm after all that interesting stuff he said it seems that she found some attraction for him yes? :) Hah looks like they're crushing on each other a little? x] Or is it just me?? 0.o Haha imagine what Rachel would say... :} Hahaha FUCK BUSH the devil... Mm I would like to see Thom naked too. xD

[TearInTheirHands]

I think a lot of people would want to see Thom naked. ;)

[xXxTwiggyzLovexXx]

Hahaha I know I do! xD

[JesusCristo2002]

The primary problem with this specific interview is that the interviewer doesn't provide empathetic questions regardling the work itself. Just the minor political undertone of it. I love "Hail To the Thief", people shouldn't take the title so seriously.

[JesusCristo2002]

Radiohead ranks amongst the most influencial band to me personally, but this interview has essentially soiled my view upon Thom Yorke personally. I got the minor political aspects of "Hail To the Thief", but here Yorke blows things out of perspective. "Hail To the Thief" ranks to be my favorite Radiohead album because of how musically diverse and psychologically brilliant it truly is. I was looking forward to an insightful interview regarding the work. Not some leftist political propaganda.

[AFXE]

I disagree JesusCritso2002. i think he is not blowing things out of perspective, it is you who is blowing things out of perspective. Leftist political propoganda is not a blanket term that automatically dismisses the argument Thom is making. I recommend you try and be open minded and critically analytical BEFORE dismissing an argument (preferably with your own formulated argument).

[JesusCristo2002]

Don't get me wrong I respect Thom Yorke-he's the lead voice behind the most inspirational band to me personally. No album other than "Hail To the Thief" and "The Bends", has emotionally and psychologically affected me in a positive way like the musical aesthetic beauty of those pieces of work. Yet, his highly respected image by myself and others shouldn't let him provide negatively pessimistic commentary upon subjective issues such as the U.S.'s political flaws.

[sprayhand]

thom is an awsome person, few people in the world are like this.

[scottymirror]

@sprayhand i totally agree man. but i gotta say, im not sure if hes quite right up in his noggin. not in a bad way, i love the guy. i dont think anyone is quite right up there. i know im not.

[dsprack]

Greta interview. I wish more reporters would be like her, and I also wish the artists would have the sense to give good answers like Thom here.

[fascismanarchy]

I'm a sucker for girls in wellington's!

[herooftheday100]

Great little interview wit no big endorsement or anthin like tht. I wonder did they hook up after, she gots the hots 4 him bad, but was he happily married at tht stage?

[gregorycrunch]

"but we can chat afterwards of course" haha man, i haven't seen a girl want a famous musician so bad since i saw the john mayer film "where the light is", he's got one particular girl on lock during that as well. But anyways, this entire interview is unbelievable, goes to show that if the interviewer isn't a complete twat the entire experience can be quite pleasant for all parties.

[GabouHendrix]

Great interview, clever thoughts by Thom and and clever questions too. Rarely seen Thom displaying his great sense of humour that much.

[newnewsva]

i love the chick doing the interview, shes cute, funny, she asks interesting questions, and she lets him answer without butting in w/ stupid comments

[BigJohnWoody]

Is she a native German speaker? I took German in college with native German speakers, but their accents in English were not like hers. For those who know, where specifically is she from (region/city if you know)?

[6Jill9]

yeh I was wondering that too...

[kmcc2576]

I believe she was born in England (London I believe) and moved to Germany around the age of 8 where she received a majority of her education, Somewhere in between she lived in the Netherlands as well. From what I gather she was raised speaking both German and English so I doubt she has mush of an accent in either. I believe she grew up in Mönchengladbach (I'm not entirely familiar with German geography). There you go in case you were still wondering. I know your comment was old.

[Supaduck0]

lol, he goes from political debate to wellingtons.

[asbani991]

nobody is happy with his country, I mean nobody. there are always people aren't happy with something, You can never satisfy human beings, trust me

[JoseWhon]

What a great little interview!

[superwiicrazy]

i want to see them get to know each other you know what i mean

[CapitalConsumer]

ARE YOU WEARING WELLINGTONS?!

[Soljenta91]

They look so warm and comfortable. hehe

[derektherock42]

"It's very easy to assume Americans are happy about the situation; the bottom line is they're not."

[hippyhamster1]

great interview

[montysurfs]

i bet Thom got into her knickers...

[ijizz420]

ooow yeh no doupt, all he had to do is click his fingers by the look of it...

[VirusCW]

But Thom already had two children with his girlfriend! D:

[PaulRayIsMe]

I have truly never seen Thom Yorke so open and relaxed in an interview. Charlotte Roche is a terrific interviewer.

[dclnm]

Best Thom Yorke interview I've come across

[arizonabay6]

Lol is that wellington comment Thom attempting to flirt? Brilliant interview btw.

[god11giggs11]

i think thom's in there ;)
