[Ofqa]

you can scream and you can shout..it is too late now..youŗe addicted to RADIOHEAD

[thesilencegenius]

Mas Mas!! Amo a Radiohead!! 

[tiwertew]

yes yes YEAHHHHHHHHHH....

[eatingplans]

TELECASTER ATTACK IS BACK!

[AmnesiacFantisiac]

This all about doublethinking ( first revealed in George Orwells book 1984), corruption and a uprising against the evil forces. This is a quite short powerful song ! One of Radioheads best stuff.

[MsSuperGlamorous]

lol What do he mean about 2+2=5 ??? :")

[KatieTaylor24]

Its based on a book "1984" and theres a reference in book.  The song has a lot to to with corruption with people in power. We are fed information that doesn't make sense, yet we are supposed to believe it and not question. No intelligence allowed.

[franstorm]

@KatieTaylor24 tu comentario es acertadisimo. Me encantaria conocerte, al menos hablar. Your comment is quiet wise. I´d love to meet you, at least talk with you..

[ludwigsabian]

Thom says "merci tout le monde", which means "thanks everybody" in french.

Where was the show?

[asbani911]

in paris

[zalik13]

А перевод можно?

[VLTV]

They call it the devil, I call them RADIOHEAD

"It's the RADIOHEAD's way now"

[asbani991]

best band ever. i swear to god

[MsSuperGlamorous]

Yes I love this Radiohead too but what do he mean about 2+2=5 ???

[asbani911]

hahaha you serious? Try checking wikipedia about it. It's a long read. if you want me to try & sum it up for you, may be your lazy.

in few words, it's about those dictator leaders who came into the world & make nonsense and say thats its the right thing. a perfect example to this is, Adolf Hitlar, in fact the term 2+2=5 has been first used about hitlar. the media at that time wrote 2+2=5 in papers about hitlar. and then been used about whoever act like him, like Saddam hussien.

[jackafa92]

How the government can brainwash the people to make them believe in something thats not true. In this case 2+2=5 (George Orwell)

[Skeletoseque]

George Orwell would have been proud, I believe.

[chafu1]

I think this song is about how the world is fucked & it's too late to do anything about it. I love this band so much. Nothing touches Radiohead.

[gogolplex74]

hahaha come on

everybody knows that 2 and 2 makes six!!

[stormyandcold]

Such an awesome performance.

Always loved Radiohead, brilliant band.

[Ofqa]

it's impossible to listen to someone else once you get addicted....nothing can bring those feelings that Radiohead does....impossible...in love

[genuinepizza]

well said.

[Rieul31]

@Ofqa so right !!! Imposible to listen to my teacher without thinking to this song !

I HAVE NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO ANYTHING ANYMORE SINCE I KNOW RADIOHEAAAAAAD !

[Pedroaussie]

please tell me if another band like this exist. I'm trying to listen to someone else since months.. but i can't. help me.

[brian2553]

I would suggest Animal Collective, and Grizzly Bear. Keep in mind though, they are no Radiohead.

[ksalaman]

There is never going to be a band like Radiohead.

[Pandemonium44]

they're unique :D

[sneeble1]

@ksalaman there already is, its called.....radiohead

[aledobretociastko]

@ksalaman There is Radiohead!

[askl23]

[MiguelWARisGOD]

[Mff21]

[bizantino001]

Dedicated to Bush whit "love"

Radiohead the best!!

[damndirtyRob]

TY SAID HIMSELF THIS SONG has ntn 2 do with bush. it would be too easy for them to make fun of him he said

[andrethefaivre]

this would be so much better if he didnt forget to play after the because

dropped a lot of climactic energy, but still awesome performance!!!!!

[EgoTrippin311]

he messes up in this? you're sure about that?

[josex1980]

awesome, muy bueno....

[bEarkAWOW]

im looking that around 1 hour , im stunned and cant do anything. oh no its gonna end !

[BlA5tFiRe]

2+2=5 is refering to synergy, the out come is grater than the solutuion.

[MadOldMan]

umm no it's a reference to the book 1984, and totalitarianism.

[buenoskater555]

yea its definately 1984

[renesito29]

[aholden12592]

[keymaster2]

yah, but they do on other songs

[simmy403]

that noise at 3:20 thom makes was hilarious

[Calley07]

You find yourself waiting for the rocky part and when you get there you already listened 2.30sec on the song xD and it feels like no time at all

[mojoome]

War is Peace;

Freedom is Slavery;

Ignorance is Strength.

[hohvuh]

the best man

[topliff12345]

blimey.

[Sidious94]

freedom is slavery

[krash718]

one of my favorite songs from them. I love how corney the song starts out and it just gets progressivley awesome.

[MacbethTilDeath]

Corny? What?

[Dippeh]

yeh, what?!! it has a meaning throughout!

[JosvanIwaarden]

ed is so cool, his singing is great

[colbypizza20]

when was this song was made what year

[theworkingmann]

2003

[xavrock]

Through total psychological manipulation, the Party is able to make individuals believe anything that it desires. Such as 2+2 = 5.

Therefore, when the Party tells you to believe that 2+2=5 they are in fact shaping reality and have total control of existence.

[Porthbot]

Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.

[Staubdumm]

US was always been at war with Iraq.

[Lethalpoint]

Whatever you're drinking Staubdumm, I'll have 2 if it makes you believe we've always been at war with Iraq.

[Staubdumm]

The sentence "always been at war" was a reference to the book 1984. Of course US wasn't always been at war with Iraq. Since Saddam was trained, paid and rescued (after he failed to kill Faisal II) by the CIA. Saddam was supported during his worst atrocities (gas-attacks against the kurds in the north) by the american and english government. He was allowed by US/UK to crush the shiite rebellian group which could have overthrown him easily.

Thanks god there are brave americans knowing these facts.

[Radiohead420DJ]

Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia. Oceania is allied with Westasia.

Oceania has always been at war with Westasia. Oceania has always been allied with Eastasia.

[xavrock]

Here is an explanation for those who haven't read the book (1984)

In the nation of Oceania, the Party controls all aspects of life, including thought, this is particulary evident in the process of Doublethink. In order to control the minds of the members of Oceania, the Party engages in Doublethink, which engages the mind into holding two contradictory ideas in the mind at once. It occupies the mind so as not to allow independent thought.

[jstjake1]

phishman! he gets shot when he finally gives up his rebelion! walking down the street smiling....I love that book!!

[StanleyKubrick87]

I love this song and this performance. Radiohead's the best

[foerum151]

seeing them tomorrow night in Camden, NJ, gonna eat some boomers and enjoy the show.

[KyostiG]

i love it when ed does the yelling at 3:10 its awesome

[tallblackpunk]

he says "merci tout le monde" which means thank you everyone. C'est le francais.

the reference is to 1984 by george orwell, because by the end of the book the main character gets brainwashed into believing that 2+2=5 and is killed.

[phishman93]

theres more to it than that-he begins to believe that Big Brother is right about everything-and he doesnt get killed

[cracksandwhich]

(phishman93) I assume you're reffering to Winston from 1984? While it's true that at the end of the book he isn't killed,it is implied that he is going to be. They mention earlier on something along the lines of the party always killing those that they capture after releasing them.

[ledzeppelin133]

lol at 3:20

i love radiohead

[londonhill777]

You´re right and I love Radiohead too

[doremi5002]

all hail to the thief

[NERV180]

In the beggining he says

"are you such a dreamer, to put the world to rights.

I stay home, forever where 2 and 2 always makes up 5.

Ill lay, down the tracks, sandbag and hide.

January has aprils showers, and 2 and 2 always makes up 5"

[FullmetalFangirl1910]

Ayone know he meaning behind this song? And no its not japanee, it sounds french almost. haha. but i knwo is not japanese...or tleast 8% sure its not

[kurtc7nirvana]

it's a reference to a novel written some years ago.. don't remember which (i'll get back to you, lol)

it's about the government brainwashing people into believing whatever they wish.. metaphorically, in this case, being that 2+2=5

[pmdanks]

its the devils way now !!!!!!!!!!!

[bassman098]

did u no that thom yorke has a palsy in his face? also wats the first thing he says @ the beginning? is it japanese?

they r amazing

[ruukaoz]

[Shelovesyouyaya]

[Benjilabu]

[Sonilink]

The video in included in the EP, but there is another live version in it

[ste88pe]

yeaaaaaah grandissimi radiohead

[shumit808]

gud job!!

salute!!!

[hopeitsgewd]

his voice is good, but it's almost like thom tries to sound technically bad

[Ellisgyl]

YOUR NOT PAYING ATTENTION!

[hopeitsgewd]

i don't think you're paying attention. the thumb downers are thinking that i'm saying something negative, but that's contrary; ignorance. i mean he's creative w/ his vocals..

[Ellisgyl]

YOUR NOT PAYING ATTENTION! is the lyrics, i was just quotin ¬_¬

[hopeitsgewd]

maybe i was just quoting and also justifying my comment to thumbdowners :s

[Spoonman5123]

Malahide castle here i come, i cant wait!

[radioheadfan2323]

i'm so jealous!!! i'm gonna see them in houston but i fantasize about malahide! enjoy it, get there early and go on the ghost tour! have a great time!!!!!!!!

[Alwaystuned]

I saw them at Cynthia Woods Pavilion (The Woodlands) on 18 June 01--The first US date of that tour. The setlist was unreal. The 2nd encore was 'The Bends' and 'Talk Show Host'. Could it get any better? NO! Great ampitheatre. Have a great time while in the presence of these gods!

[radioheadfan2323]

i was there too!!!! 2003 right? i'm from houston baby!!!

[idiocracy101]

YOU'RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION!

[Hematemesis]

This is so dense that it curves the damn space

[maxulyses]

this song is incredible! with the headphones on is soooooo much better.

[ncddd]

I was going to see them in SF, but they are playing some crappy festival where you can only buy three day passes, which cost 233 dollars. I am not paying 233 just to watch radiohead play a one hour and twenty minute set....

[BahLahLah]

Yeah, you should probably be paying more. $233 doesn't come close to what Radiohead are actually worth.

[pscicopleutica]

fantastico

e nada mais

[miguelnevoeiro]

isso.e prontos!

[radioheadfan2323]

i'm gonna see them up close close close (thanks waste) in houston. i'm trying to grow the gnads to tell them thank you in a quiet moment. what do u guys think?

[str88]

Is this in Bercy?

[batfish1225]

Radiohead in St. Louis...cannot wait!!!

[MadmanMoon]

hell yea man see you there.

[flubberdubber]

thats scream at 3:19 is awesome

[gildone83]

all song is awesome...

[CDCabbil]

you mean the yelp? that was weak...

[bdbancel]

Your face is weak.

[DixieNava]

2+2=5... that´s true...

[ehfuckit]

nu uh...

[bbuckle52]

there's tool and radiohead, PERIOD! When you figure them out lyrically, your'e golden. All this other shit that these record execs pump out to dumbass kids is fuckin garbage. The next time you see a white kid listening to rap; BEAT HIS FUCKIN ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Class Dismissed.

[Chubzdoomer]

Is it just me or does this sound almost perfect when compared to the studio version?

[canutewaves]

yeah, it sounds much better. i hate jonny's guitar in the studio one.

[Alwaystuned]

How could you hate Jonny's guitar,ever?

[Shelovesyouyaya]

He said "thank you everyone"

[twentysix2662]

What he said at the beginning?

[ryanphillipperocks]

i love that scream at 3:19

btw im using ma sisters adress

[lesassassins]

i think this is their best song, music and specially the lyrics, i love to play it. is like a time bomb or something.

[radioheadyorke]

its really hard to say that

[sofiaav]

Wonderful song!! Radiohead forever!

[EolScofield]

They are just the best.

[KREEPYDIDJIT]

thats why i like 2 listen to brits rocks!!!!!very clever

[Zombisia]

I love his 'psychodelic' voice... <3

Thom rocks!

[hexofperplexity]

great song

[dom1622]

Radiohead , ils ont vraiment quelquechose que les autres n'ont pas !

[ZeroG181]

Translation: They're something that the others aren't. Sure as hell they are, best band in the world!

[DanTube2008]

noticed Thom's vocals were better at Glasto, and i think he realizes too during the performance ... it's why at 2:42 he just kinda continues with the note aimlessly, and at 3:19 he lets out a scream... just trying to make up for any lack of energy earlier.

love it how the lighting goes blinding white in between verses and good that the camera work uses it effectively... the glasto camera work is pretty poor

[superdrummerman13]

yea i agree but it was still great

it just seemed like he was kinda like singind along rther then compltely going all out out.......or i could be wrong and thats just how he does it

[maniakill]

i'm gonna die playin' this damn song!!!!

[skatemore6108]

dont question my authority or put me in a dock cause' im not!!!

i get so pumped near that part

[enduropunk]

Esta canción es lo máximo...

*_*
