  • He has no reason to act like a prick. Lee Lavers of the La's is a great song writer - Who in many ways has that kind of same detached vision as he does - But their is a limit to twatness - Jesus..

  • A a weird guy with incredible talent hehe

  • hi..... hi..... "HeLlO!!"

  • i get beamed it. the interview is bjork.

  • HE IS GOD IN HUMAN FORM, NOTHING LESS, NOTHING MORE. my beauties. 

  • this man...if only we had more musical geniuses like him...world peace would be feasible...he is the most intellectual, complex, albeit introspective, but nonetheless brilliant person on the face of the earth

  • @keller43561

    LOL!

  • It's never easy to tell if he is telling the truth or just being sarcastic

  • siiigh Thom you're so perfect:(

  • What album is he talking about in this interview?

  • @supedude6

    Hail To The Thief, 2003.

  • cool guy

  • the interviewer was such a ditz

  • ever decreasing circles. I love that answer

  • "Making music for Radiohead is like going to the bathroom, I'm just going to the bathroom constantly, and millions are watching me go to the bathroom." ~ Thom Yorke

  • I bet he hit it. I bet he did. Hit it hard.

  • i dont realy like him ... he is some kind of selfish and narcistic but his music is brilliant!

  • @akustica I know this video was posted in 2006, but did the interview occur earlier?

  • @thetruthhis Sounds like he was talking about Hail to the Thief. He said it was spontaneous and really fast, which matches the description of how Hail to the Thief was recorded. That came out in 2003, so they would have been promoting it then.

  • @TheOneartist Thanks! 

  • "I get beamed it. My bits are beamed to me." - The closest Thom has ever come to admitting that's he's a special genius.

  • The questions were fantastic, I was wondering if he'd comment on the reflection/parallel world question and unsurprisingly he did. That and the composure of the interviewer make this one of his best interviews imo.

  • daaaamn i would suck her ass.

  • @TheSchoolsux345 Hail to the Thief

  • what album is he talking about

  • thom is a bullshitter - a damn good one too

  • @0:06

    thom yorke-hi

    interviewer-(smiles)

    thom yorke-hi!! lol he's funny as shit

  • I love him and I'm scared of him.

  • Wtf, giant dildo mic?

  • shes so fine.

    

  • Lol great interview but hands down best part is 3:20 to 3:24

  • Lol great interview but if hands down best part is 3:20 to 3:24

  • I think this is the same girl that interviewed the Chili Peppers a few years ago too!! They flirted outrageously with her too!! She's obviously the world's hottest interviewer :)

  • I think he has a bit of Aspurgers syndrome....strange affect to some social cues (tangential references to his thought-process notwithstanding). I've heard he is outright cold to certain people, yet others he feels a kinship not unlike a father/son or mother/son.....strange coming from a man who calls emotions "bullshit". He must also get "beamed" his idle thoughts because the guy IS tuned to something different (not complaining!).

  • @quidseeker I've got Asbergers and I relate to a lot of his personality... but then it's not exactly difficult when there's not many people to relate to, you start to see small things that are similar between you and another person, and you see it as bigger. Sort of in desperation. But not really, cause I'm quite content with it now. What I'm saying is, it's easy to make a comparison with something when you really want it to be there. Ya get me?

  • @MRMATRONIC I know what you're saying, and you're also possibly making my point for me: the fact that you DO have Asbergers and are able to identify certain aspects of yourself with him that others may not notice. I'm guilty of that myself, whenever I want to like something or someone (perhaps the very basis for liking) is that it is relatable to me in funny little ways; aka reminds me of me.  I guess on that principle it's actually egotisitical! But when it comes to Thom...

  • @MRMATRONIC It seems he sometimes seems deliberately contrary or hostile....almost as if he isn't even aware of it. Then he'll curl up in a playful ball and giggle. This is strange stuff. I heard he was made fun of terribly as a teenager for his lazy eye and strange demeanor, which would make his later attitude towards people he didn't know understandably xenophobic and distrustful. He doesn't let on about his family or interpersonal conflicts within the band. He has some trust issues.

  • @quidseeker Yeah, I can totally relate to that! lol People tend to think I'm being a prick to them, when I think it's fairly obvious that I'm actually not or just making a point or something or being completely reasonable. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't. One things for sure though, if he does have it, he won't tell anyone publicly, or he already would have done. Also if you look at Thom's earlier interviews, he's like a crazy ADHD kid, which is exactly what I'm like, but then I have ADHD too...

  • I can see why Thome Yorke is cold toward the public... what makes Radiohead so amazing is how much of himself Thom puts into his albums. This must make interacting with the public difficult... he gives so much of himself into an album and then the whole public is criticizing and there is drama and politics... Ahh I am not sure what I am talking about, just that I love Thom and I love Radiohead, and i don't think I will ever be able to fully express how much their music affects me.

  • Comment removed

  • I wait like this ......

  • he is a true intellectual

  • Who gives a shit about the press man just make the damn music and stop crying.

  • @Itsjames1 As a famous band, they have to give a shit about the press. That's how the album gets sold, and he makes money, and can continue.

  • @Itsjames1 bro story cool

  • Ha, he said the songs are beamed to him. Actually makes sense of the name Radiohead

  • Hail to the Thief is probably my favourite album of theirs . . . ironic.

  • god hes adorable

  • This interviewer needs to be on TV more...

  • how old is this interview?

  • He has a lazy eye. I do too and if I had to guess, he doesn't make eye contact because it makes him self-conscious about how obvious it is. That's how it is for me anyway.

    Or he's just afraid he'll impregnate her through eye contact with his overwhelming godliness.

  • @SirBenjamin88 hahaha yea it's definitely the impregnating part. Thom Yorke is his own man, he knows that and how awesome his reps are, he could honestly give less of a fuck of how he looks to others.

  • @SirBenjamin88 Funnily enough, the second option may be the most realistic.

  • @SirBenjamin88

    Haha, his godliness does indeed posess intimidating ability.

    I mean, seriously. I bet you he just wakes up and is surrounded by awesome.

  • He pretty much looks everywhere *except* at her face. XD LOL

  • What record was he talking about?

  • @JohnTheFaun I think its Hail To The King.....Allthough i am working from the date of the day the video got uploaded and not the actual date he got interviewed.

  • @havihavihavi it's Hail to the Theif..

  • that was a great interview. seeing thom slowly warm up to her, then the affectionate looks he begins sharing. rad

  • they just reminded me 'creep'.

  • This man is really somewhere else. it's awesome. xD

  • If he weren't married, I bet he'd have banged her

  • @Supaduck0 he's not even married XD lol

  • @marszgee Yes he is. He has 2 kids.

  • @tombola1990 i know.. noah and agnes. but he didn't marry rachel. i'm sure of it... he said he didn't believe in marriage... but of course he loves her missus....

  • @Supaduck0 She wrote a book called Feuchtgebiete which was 70% autobiographical and it was the most disgusting book I've ever read. She ate everything that came out of her body. Whenever she had hemmorhoids (ate them) and was about to have sex with a guy, she first stuck his face on it to see if he can handle her.

    Good for him he's married ;)

  • @Traumweltleben LOL that's disturbing, man... x)

  • @Supaduck0 i disagree, i think he thought she was a bit dumb to be honest. and he acknowledged that question because he was surprised by it...

    thats how i see it.

  • @Supaduck0 he isn't married

  • No eye contact whatsoever...I love it! :)

  • @lcozzarelli there is eye contact....

  • @Renneskid Yeah, I did notice that he started looking at her a lot more in the latter half of the interview, after I wrote the comment. I also found out about his left eye thing after my initial comment, and I think that definitely affects his subconscious feelings about making eye contact :)

  • thom loves this chick, very candid

  • Which record is he talking about?

  • @SweetPawsMcGenty Hail to the Thief

  • his voice sounds reeeeally like dominic howard.. aww bless.. I love them both..

  • @xHermanTheGermanx you think?! Dom has a sexier accent :D

  • She's like a child asking Santa what she wants for Christmas

  • @q0zi Why would she ask Santa what she wants?

  • @FutureAbe Is this real life?

  • What accent does she have? It almost seems Irish but I don't think it is

  • @someone6878 I think she's maybe German. It sounds like some odd European accent. And there's German (I think?) subtitles at the bottom.

  • @blondexrocker She's English but lives in Germany.

  • what is your favorite Radiohead song?

  • @anonymousQ45 Jigsaw Falling into Place, off of In Rainbows. What's yours?

  • @Uzzie101 wow so many, i like High and Dry rite now.

  • @Uzzie101 subterranean homesick alien off ok computer.

  • @minaishamyce Like that one, it's oddly soothing.

  • @anonymousQ45 Paranoid Android - any takers?

  • Shit, what a cute little interview.

  • thom: hi

    stupid girl: tehee

  • The woman is retarded!!!

  • spontaneous recording. Tedious mixing. That's Hail To The Thief.

  • 11 people accidentally pressed the dislike button

  • which album is he talking about?

  • @joemunkey30 By the looks of his hair... I'd probably say... "Hail to the Thief?"

  • She is a fantastic interviewer...You can tell she loves Radiohead

  • she's crushing on him oh so badly ! 

  • @Arrygoo no she's not...she's just being nice. She actually "hates" Radiohead, she's a fan of Oasis (or used to be), but she was always mocking (depressing music) about Radiohead and was very nervous interviewing Thom, because she always heard he's not an "easy" person. But after the interview she admitted, that she was surprised in a positive way. So she's very professional doing interviews, being charming, even if she's not into this music, but she knows, it's for the fans.

  • @MrsNemonina

    Could you elaborate on your comment (ie- where did you hear this)? I'm not disputing what you're saying at all, it's just that this interview seems to suggest that Roche REALLY wants to impress Yorke & REALLY knows & admires Radiohead's work. The comments regarding the "sexual chemistry" in this interview may seem juvenile but you can't deny the body language! Any Google search about this just turns up lots of articles in German.

  • @matooli my source is Roche and what she said about radiohead...it's "her" show, she was allowed to express her opinion. when she mentioned radiohead she was always kind of like: this band is sooo depressing and weird - she doesn't like this music. you mistake her bodylangage for sexual, but it'snot...she's ALWAYS friendly and professional, even with artist she deosn't really like, because she's professional. but she liked yorke, altough she was afraid interviweing him. thats it, nothing more.

  • @MrsNemonina

    Thanks for the information, I wouldn't have had Roche down as an Oasis fan (!), but I guess there's no accounting for taste... also a good lesson that seeing isn't always believing. :)

  • @matooli yep ;) she actually has a good taste in music, I personaly think she likes oasis because of their badass-attitude, maybe the music too (I know one guy who is a huge fan of oasis) but I don't know why, I'm not sure she's a fan nowadays. Sometimes you grow out of certain music.

  • yorke is dope...he hit that after the interview i wish interviewer ask questions like this

  • they dont give a flying fuck about it

    very true its the governent and policital tools

  • man, i wish i had such a ptosis as he has

  • He looks cute and he has a great accent!

  • This dude is so awesome, I have to meet him someday.

  • she sounds really retarded :L

  • and she also asks him REALLY good questions too, which he probably also appreciated!

  • this is the most normal ive seen thom in an interview. maybe they should always get cute flirty german girls to interview him lol

  • damn shes hot id hit that, lucky thom that bastard lol

  • is he talking about Hail to the Thief?

  • @axischild70 i also wish i knew what album he was talking about!

  • 1:17-1:21 "and then it explodes in the middle!" "well...uh" xd

  • That WAS a good question (at 3:23). It's so rare that reporters ask musicians intelligent questions.

    What year is this video from?

  • @madeyes4u

    around 2003/4

  • I wish i had a british accent.

  • hi!

  • Thom has always struck me as being a really nice guy.

  • Thom York > Everything

  • It's refreshing to actually hear some interesting questions from an interviewer. You could tell Thom was enjoying it, as he no doubt gets asked the same old questions from most journalists.

  • I am incredibly jealous, I wish I could be her...

  • which album are they talking about?

  • Is that a glass eye ? what a cunt

  • @panicbeach69 ....That's really deep.

  • It always annoys me musicians say they get their music from another source and that they dont know where it comes from, Its so ridiculous. It also means they dont realise that they are the geniuses, not some spiritual entity. And yes littlegirl751 i also sense sexual tension, he likes her and she is of course loving every second.

  • Hail to the Thief was the album he was speaking of btw

  • They need to get married!

  • Thom is far too arrogant for his own good.

  • I feel smarter when I listen to Thom Yorke speak

  • "Everything is a limitation." Spoken like a true innovator.

  • This has to be my favorite interview of all interviews. Haha.

  • he was in a good mood that day

  • VAVA

  • That was a god damn amazing question.

  • thom yorke is a terribly misunderstood man

  • @Peewaka Definitely. It bugs me so much when people go on about how rude and arrogant Thom Yorke is. I don't see it. What I see is someone very artistically talented but who lacks the kind of personality that would be attractive to the mass media. He's blunt and outspoken, sure, but he's a great singer-songwriter and passionate about important things. Obviously I don't know him personally, but I really don't get understand why people perceive him in such a bad way.

  • good question! I like that Question!

  • shes hot, id bone her. im sure thom was thinking the same thing lol.

  • -this is thom yorke from the radiohead, welcome on my chat

    -hi.

    hi!

    -hello.... ehm....

  • look at 2:00 she stares him down and bites her lip

  • This is the most normal I've ever seen him. Good for you Thom! It's good to see him happy.

  • Thom should run for office, end of story.

  • which album is he talking about here?

  • @weirddaytoday This is about Hail to the Thief. There is a joke in part 2 that is supposed to be a play on words which refers to BackDrifts. off of HttT.

  • Comment removed

  • he is incredible :)

  • His music just pops into his head? Such a genius.. I've been thinking that's probably how most famous musicians make their masterpieces, it's just channeled into them like some supernatural force. Makes me hope that one day I'll just start hearing good music in my head, but that'll probably never happen.

  • Thom keeps touching his lips and she keeps fidgeting & smiling a lot!!!

    it's so sweeeeeeeeettttttttttttttttt lol :P

    and great interview aswell! :D

  • CHEMISTRY right there.

  • I think thom has a bit of a wonky eye...

  • @Deflaybourisc Such an observasionist. Operations, several of them.

  • That was the joke, obviously

  • he s very cool :]

  • pretty sure he says "its like its stolen off you" right before saying "im quite a precious person"

  • thom is such a rad guy.

  • did he say "im quite a precious person".. if so what did he say b4 that too

  • this is about in rainbows?

  • @mokesmaster

    no, it's about hail to the thief

  • She's an excellent interviewer.

  • @tylerb1085 true. it's the best interview with thom yorke i've ever seen... and having in my that thom is not so easy to handle...

  • Yeah sometimes I hear voices... yeah sure just keep making that great music :)

  • Ah bless that woman, she seems so excited, but then who wouldn't be?

  • Indeed. He's one of those musicians who are hard to approach. She probably had a hundred questions lined up for him at the same time. ;D

  • @6Jill9 There's an interview with Liam gallagher in it and she's even more jumpy.

  • It's official: l'm in love : ) he's just great !!

  • hi hi funny as out

  • I wish music as good as his would just come to me as well. :(

  • Yorke is a great speaker. Great confidence and a heavy commitment into his beliefs and ideals. He probably wouldn't like to over-analyze his lyrics too much..god bless him for who he is and for the genius music he's given us all these years with Radiohead.

  • He's someone who truly thinks about what he says before he says it. Not many people do that.
