  • jesus

  • Love him and his genius

  • Thom is a genius,nothing more to say

  • @CChellol Haters gona' hate.

    God, I wish that Gibson was mine. Also, where is the Eraser follow up? There are probably 5 LPs worth of unreleased content he has done sitting in his pocket on his phone now.

  • i like the guitare but i dont see how people can like the way he just whines and moans at the mic... this guy is so overrated

    (and now everyones going to send a bunch of hate messages at me)

  • @CChellol Want to take a swing at Bob Dylan too? Different strokes, different folks.

  • @CChellol i'm with you!

  • @CChellol Well to be honest Yorke doesn't whine nearly as much as "some other frontmen", however judging his singing from his solo stuff is a tad obtuse especially since he sings as an angel in his main band.

  • @CChellol Well it's because to most he has a very angelic voice, and during live performances he prioritizes soul over technical master- and those who attuned to that soul are captivated by the music.

  • @CChellol fuck off you prick ;)

  • Simon Pegg sent me here, this information requires no thumbs up/down.

  • the end of this is like snapping out of a dream. The song and performacne just suck you in....

  • so far every life version of an eraser song is 10 times better than the album version. i know he said he'd rather make a whole album with just a laptop than just a guitar, but this shows the true potential of the songs on the album, what they could've been. absolute genius

  • it comes to you begging you to stoP wake uP

    you just move the hands upon the clocK you throw coins in the wishing welL

    becausE you just threw your hands upon the walL

    it comes to you begging you to stoP wake uP

    but you just move the hands upon the clocK throw coins in the wishing welL

    becausE you make believe that you are still in chargE

  • haha, love the single "fuck yeah" nod he does at the end

  • cool performance. very different flavor than the album version. that old adage: if it works on acoustic guitar...

  • Comment removed

  • The 9 people who disliked need to buy a watch

  • Two thumbs up!

  • very beautiful, its great !!

  • I love Thom! The genius, yes!

  • really should record some acoustic versions of these in the studio IMO

  • I saw this once when I had satellite TV...I'll never forget it. The force is strong with this one.

  • I cant even see the dislike bar, this is called ''Thom fucking yorke''

  • love his musicality love his art love his performance and love his EXPRESSION

  • Hey you 9 people: WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is surreal. Magnificent.

  • The vocal from 3:23 through 3:33 is some piss-your-pants-worthy art right there.

  • What guitar is that? I'm dying to know.

  • @Sneeze1Out its a gibson

  • @magic2605 Yeah, i found out eventually. thanks anyway :)

  • @Sneeze1Out a gibson hummingbird

  • Is he a psychically disabled or something?

  • @RoyPortel, Yes....Thom IS "physically disabled or something". He's been afflicted with an absence of you-ness.

  • Did he really do all of that by himself? holly shit

  • Actually watching Thom, not just listening, adds so much depth to this song.

  • i dont how thom yorke dont smoke weed, and created that.. is incredible..!

  • @IluvitarRusu the true geniuses don't need drugs.

  • @Joshalidina I agree, anything you can do on drugs you are completely capable of sober. With that being said, I do like a nice joint every now and then. Helps me appreciate life a bit more. Not that I don't, just helps haha. I hope my honesty doesn't offend anyone.

  • not his best work, still loved the performance

  • @Vannereveilar Not his best work? Well even it isn't, you're no one to judge. Not unless you are Thom Yorke of course ;)

  • Chills.....beautiful.

  • never seen an accoustic play like that.... technical brilliance. and to be able to sing so well at the same time, on an odd tempo...... just not human.

  • @blochead555 Yeah, the tempo isn't odd at all. You're talking out your arse.

  • @Sneeze1Out sorry, mr i know fucking everything about music . i dont want to have an argument with someone on a video of a song this good and ruin it, but i think the point i was trying to make is that it looks a hard song to play while singing....... your the one talking outa your ass and writing comments like that when we should just be appriciateing the music. bet your 14 or something,get off the internet.

  • @blochead555 I don't think this is gunna ruin the video, most Radiohead fans have the common sense to overlook trivial youtube comments. No need to take so much offense either. This may be hard to sing and play at the same time but if that's what you meant, then say that. And the '14 year old' insult, yeah, nice grammar.

  • @Sneeze1Out i'm entitled to take offense when someone tells me i'm talking outa my arse, when i clearly am not, you just wanted to be pretentious and criticise me for me making a comment that while not technically correct or whatever, was just made because i was in admiration of thom. lets just leave it there and enjoy the music....

  • @blochead555 I was simply pointing out the fact that you had no idea what you were talking about when you said the song had an odd tempo, I'm sure most the people who come to watch the video, come knowing that the song will be very good. But you're milking it and making it out to be even better than it is. Of course, me saying this has all been blown out of proportion and all seems pretty ludicrous now.

    Thom Yorke is an amazing songwriter with some great technical skill, but he is still human.

  • @Sneeze1Out why does it matter i didnt know what i'm talking about, and why should it bother you? you took wrote i wrote too literally, it was merely an expression of my admiration for the great technical skill in this song, as you just said. the joy of music is you dont need to know what yout talking about, you just need to enjoy it. try and learn that. and i'm pretty sure, that by the fact some people liked my comment, i was quite obviously not milking it.

    now lets be friends..peace and love.

  • is there any hope for us (singers)

  • Shit... who had to follow that? Yorke is unreal..

  • @soleilmh it was the red hot chili peppers actually haha

  • @soleilmh

    Red Hot Chili Peppers had to follow him. They were devastated, I'm sure. It showed, anyways =)

    

  • @soleilmh

    Chili peppers i think

  • @soleilmh chili peppers

  • Shit... who had to follow that? Yorke is unreal..

  • From 0:44 to 0:49 we can see on his face that he really lives his music !

  • awesome band...

    if u like Radiohead, u might wanna try : Watermind - "Not Again"

    P.S: Thom Yorke is a freakin´genius!!!

  • Amazing that he can get those studio sounds to come out of an single accustic guitar. He's using his own alternate tuning it sounds like.

  • @orangesugarcube EBDF#BD

  • Absolute brilliance! :D xxx

  • Amazing 3:19

  • Amazing performance.

  • I'd love to meet him, bet he's a scary dude though

  • Proper introduction "GENIUS."

  • I think I did OK here, not my best performaance though!

  • @mmmbilly Yeah, because you're totally Thom Yorke. Actually, judging by the comments on your page, it seems you're actually a troll. Goodbye.

  • @LMA0NAISE I love that you were so unsure that you actually checked my page........twat!

  • @jumanji4149 Da on prosto SUPER...:-))))

  • 1:46 when he starts the "aaaaaaaaaaaah" as the camera circles with the light shining behind him...pure awesome right there people.

  • Fucking incredible.

  • у него очень не обычный голос и стиль исполнения . мне нравится ))

  • hands down one of the best PERFORMANCES i have ever seen, anywhere, ever. spectacular.

  • Absolutely gives me the shivers! Perfect. Like watching John Martyn play the dealer.

  • Look at Thom's facial expressions, he totally gets into his work. I love that.

  • τωρα...θελω να ακουω μονο αυτο...!!

  • Thom Yorke, your guitar speaks.

  • This song is a psalm...is is addictive. You can meditate AND medicate to this ONE song all day lol It is A brilliant song.

  • He's a genius...i had to wait til he was done to go to another song i liked lol...im not very patient so its a big deal lol

  • @thelazzlazz you should always let a song finish, especially one of this caliber.

  • @robslater90 haha i did let it finish....i was just being impatient that day coz there was something in the suggestions that i wanted to listen to

  • @thelazzlazz oh ok, i'll let you off. :)

  • You know you have reached a certain quality when Jools refers to you as "Genius"! Powerful song!

  • yes a lot of balls

  • so true

  • I can't stop listening.

  • That vocal note @ 2:03 makes my soul buzz!

  • Deep shit, deep... & utmost quality.

  • He sounds like a sad cat off key, but he is still one of my favorite vocalists. 

  • @emptyhighways I think this performance is fantastic but your description is sadly spot on, that made me chuckle

  • @emptyhighways off key? to me, he often cracks due to bad control/over excitation, but he is kind of never out of tune.

  • This is brilliant stuff... I don't think he sounds that much like he does in Radiohead in terms of his vocal style, but that's definitely not saying it's not as good as Radiohead!

  • @kierangrunge Sounds like you don't listen to much Radiohead.

  • @Chillstar24 They're not my favourite band (one of, but not completely), but I still have all their records except Kid A and In Rainbows.

  • @kierangrunge hahaha all except the two greatest albums of all time

  • @ilikecows44 I said I don't have them, not I haven't listened to them... I actually prefer OK Computer to both of them, so it's down to personal preference really.

  • You, who disliked this video.. please.. may you tell me, why did you do that? I'm really curious...

  • I get freezed every time i hear this.. this is supernatural.

  • i wanna know Thom yorke, i want him to be my best fucking friend

  • @Renegadesays True.. but i'm not sure i could handle myself i Thom would walk into the stage in front of me..

  • @Artingence ki gondolta volna h pont egy magyar fog vmit válaszolni:D

  • @Renegadesays :D Na igen.. bár az igaz, hogy az "if"-ből kihagytam az f betűt :/

    *"If Thom wold walk......"*

  • @kidbright: you're absolutely right. at 2:28 his intonation with the guitar and the quality of his voice is beyond human.

  • when he gets to the verse at 2:28-2:29 I get freaking chills......the guitar and his voice...perfect harmony

  • its amazing how well the songs off this album translate to just solo guitar

  • This is ok, but i prefer Aquas Barbie Girl.

  • @Pontusky lol

  • @Pontusky lol that's completley the other end of the musical scale.

    Like a see-saw; thom's at the top aqua is at the bottom =D

  • i feel blessed having thom yorke walking on the same planet as i do.

  • This guy has done some really cool stuff with open-B-minor tunings. "Jigsaw Falling Into Place," "There There," and now this amazing live version of "The Clock."

  • Wow the greatest- standing ovation

  • wow

  • genius, my favourite thom yorke video ever

  • I ♥ Thom Yorke

  • The CLock....who has the lyrics? This is so in tune with the LIVING FORCE of the universe.....where does he tap in? I want IN

  • Wowzenshizen! He is incredible, just wonderful. Weehoo, how lucky are we to have someone who can access himself so deeply in front of people and repeatedly for our enjoyment!

  • "Mistwaters", oh dear.

    Thome Yorke is singing about world events, political stand points and Ideas of existence.....and you are comparing him with Montgomery Gentry!!! A redneck country band who sing about barn dances, getting drunk and falling in love??? LMFAO!!!!!!

  • @chopshop85 Well one thing tends to lead to the other...

  • amazing

  • he's not trying, he's doing. do or don't do, don't try.

  • @musicalprofessor Haha, "musicalprofessor," that is bull. Maybe we're not all musical geniuses and music doesn't just come to us, but I can tell you it took me awhile of crazy effort to get where I am: A pretty decent guitarist. And don't tell me Thom Yorke didn't have to try to get to become what he is today.

    Maybe rephrase your statement? :)

  • @holdenissexy no thanks. i'm right, you're wrong.

  • @musicalprofessor Whatever you say, Mr. Perfect. As for me, I'm not about to claim I'm a "god of music." And lets say that Thom here didn't have to try for it, fine with me, but I want to see you practice what you preach. Hard to do if you're not Thom Yorke, eh?

  • @holdenissexy i don't preach, i do. and it's not my fault i'm perfect. don't worry, it's not a burden.

  • @musicalprofessor Haha, got it ;)

  • i cant belive how he plays the guitar and sings the lines in another fitting tempo. its like, "try to make clockwise circles with the forefinger of your left hand and counter clockwise circles with your forefinger of the right hand ". Just a few times harder..... i cant do it ;)

  • I've never heard guitar played like this before!

  • The World would lack something without this Genius!

  • thom > jesus

  • is that a direct box?

  • Just shows how live shows can be so much more multi-dimensional than studio work. Adaptations for live shows can be amazing

  • Everyone shut the fuck up, Thom's trying to sing.

  • @danieljamesmead I want this comment sticky-ed on every music video on Youtube, obviously with "Thom's" replaced with [ insert name of musician here ]. I'm sure Youtube could code that couldn't they?

  • @danieljamesmead who said men can't multitask- lol i give it to yea! Thom you did it again

  • @danieljamesmead trying? haa :)

  • @danieljamesmead hahah your the man.

  • mr gibson hummingbid

  • "Hi! I'm Thom Yorke! I went to private boys school with a bunch of other effete pampered nancyboys and we formed a band mimmicking the Pixies only dressing far faggier. After dolling myself up with died hair and indoor sunglasses for years, I matured into trying to look like Van Gogh, and traded in majestic Pink Floyd mimmickry for sparse 90's electronica mimmickry knowing my sophomoric fans weren't versed enough to realize the artists I was ripping off. Now I'm over the hill and loaded, thanks"

  • I thought you were just messing around!You are a Radiohead fan.

  • SemiFlex,

    Fuck off you cunt-breathed tit of a man.

    I would sooner hang myself from my scrotum as a christmas ornament on a tree, than like a banal poser like Yorke.

    Montgomery-Gentry's music speaks to blue collar Americana who works HARD for a paycheck and is tired of libtards and socialists like Osamabomba running our country. They beleive in things like values, and taking a stand for the red white and blue, something I've NEVER seen Yorke do.

    Yorke is a Stalinist, UNLIKE M-G.

  • Hahahaha 'libtards', Osamabomba', ohhh you crazy Yanks. You guys DO know satire.

  • excuse me, please do not compare Mistwaters to everyone in America. It's incredibly insulting to most people there.

  • @OnlyVideoGuyOnEarth Apologies.

  • @Mistwaters Pwned? what are you 16 yrs old? seems VERY clear ur just a douche bag everyone in this video comment board despises you. so don't even attempt commenting back. there is soooo much wrong with you.. not just the fact that you don't like radiohead but you probably have a horrible personality.

  • jonjonwhii,

    You watch your mouth young man. I am the musical genius here, and you are the one's flipping pizzas. Montgomery Gentry is a revolutionary act in the history of Alabama Country Pop Rock.

  • @slitheringinterstate hahaha you have no idea what you're balbbering on about. first of all i'm 18 and i don't flip pizzas and so what if i did? at least i'm not some old egotistical maniac who thinks he is god's music gift to this earth. P.s i make Amazing music i HATE to be cocky but i'm bearly 18 and i'm making some really really good music. :)

  • @Mistwaters So you like your men very manly?

  • @Mistwaters What's the best in you're opinion?

  • In my opinion, the best pure musician of our generation, american country/western supergroup Montgomery-Gentry.

  • @Mistwaters Ahhhhh brilliant! I thought you were just messing around. You are a Radiohead fan. Bluddy idiots us!

    Check out Montgomery-Gentry, nobody can like that 4/4 pop shit.

  • @Mistwaters lmao oh yeah way better than radiohead.

  • mistwaters knows 2 chords on the guitar

  • hardly!

  • Other than Mist-twat, I can't image anybody who doesn't feel really powerful emotions listening to this. As for the whole intellectuals with IQs between 110 and 130, you should probably just shut the fuck up because you clearly do not fall within or above that range.

    Seriously your shitting on Thom Yorke...you have absolutely no grounds for anything you say, he and his band are generally accepted as one of the most brilliant acts of our generation. But some people have misty twats I guess.

  • Well first of all it is amazing and if trying to anonymously make yourself seem more talented, or whatever you're trying to do here, than Thom Yorke, you're effing pathetic...I can tell already that you probably have no friends because nobody likes people who would leave such comments. Thom Yorke is one of the most respected artists in the business..a couple more points..

  • Mistwaters...

    He created this acoustic version from a laptronic song..listen to it

    Maybe you could play this but could you write something like this?

    I sincerely hope you die..wanker

  • @Mistwaters music is not about being all technical it's about conveying an emotion sucessfully. they innovated music and that's not a matter of opinion it's a fact. Listen to the evolution from pablo honey to ok computer to kid a and then in rainbows that proof will be sure to make u stfu. you remind me of the little kids at peter pipper pizza (where i work) so damn naive, ignorant and presistant.

  • wolfieatthedoor - Troll Detected. Better luck next time. Try not to be so obvious.

  • amazing

  • What a load of rubbish. Absolutely full of shit.

  • mistwaters, not the song!

  • I love, love, love the performance of The Clockl and Cymbal Rush he did on the Henry Rollins Show.

  • i hate when people hit the "bad comment" thing on other people's comments, cuz then i can't laugh at the stupid shit they just spewed out of their mouths. but anyway, amazing song by thom, which is really no surprise seeing as it's thom fucking yorke

  • you just have to hit 'reply' to see it
