sadly the old main trumpet player wasnt that up to playin an awesome radiohead song.... he kinda ruined it... but i guess its kind of unusual and hard to play..
@CivilianInRange That man was Humphrey lyttleton a well known british jazz player who was in his 80's at the time man, cut him some slack. The only reason this song exists is because Thom *asked* him to play, so that, plus the guy being dead going on 5 or so years, I think should get him a pass.
What i think is beautiful about this performance, is that it was Thom Yorke that wanted Humph on his song. It really shows that he, as well as the band have a great respect, as everyone else who had any connection with him had.
As well as him being one of the, if not the best English trumpet players we will ever likely see..
@chavafuck its not cool indians only believe in working like dogs and feel proud about being a working class hero i wanna learn music i wanna play like greenwood and thom but no i have to work work work and die
@sarahbearea Kid A is their best album, OK Computer is on par with it, people who say The Bends is their favourite aren't real Radiohead fans to be honest, they've came so much further then that
Saying that, it's still an absolutely brilliant album
q hermoso escuchar a thom y todos los instrumentos , q groso por favor!!!! increible, esto hace radiohead y es impresionante, a lo mefor otra banda no sonaria asi
My current fav. RH song, the meaning i get from this song, its that im not very talkative, so its painful at times, and yeah i think often "i'd like to stay around and chat, but only if someone would listen".
Maybe im wrong, but i sometimes think Yorke hides a little himself behind all the references about Global warming, war, government politics, etc. Often think Radiohead songs have simpler meanings.
@mrhappysod i dissagree music these days is shite. and you will find that your point is correct but the bands that are this creative are bands that are older.
@Arilovich I love Muse, but they aren't genius, like Radiohead. Muse is impressionist music, Radiohead transcends impressionist music into the realm of ethereal.
@Johnnypt13 Same! Muse used to be so good, but they got so damn Americanized. All this mainstream crap really ticks me off. I love Radiohead's lyrics because they have their language is so figurative compared to all the other bands. Radiohead is timeless!
I mean, Radiohead is quite mainsteam too, if you want to talk that way. Let's not diverge onto the indie/mainstream difference because that's bull. Only people's tastes matter.
Radiohead and Nigel Godrich (their sixth member) managed to always get a different sound than the one record companies were eager to get... The Bends may have a lot of similarities with grunge music and the alternative scene but after OK COMPUTER it's more and more personal...
Theres so much going on in this song but if you really listen to it you realize how all the notes and words create something so perfect and unique. Radiohead fans always describe them as "genius", not because of obsession with the band, but because Radiohead. IS. Fucking genius.
He just gets so into it, you can tell he means it every time he sings, he wants to be there, he wants to be doing what he's doing. Brilliant. All of them. Exactly what they need to be doing, keeping good music alive, when we need it most.
i dont often like jazz piecez ive heard because theyre somewhat cheerful and sound like theres no coherence... in my opinion some even sound as improvisations... i like this cuz its melancholic and has a controlled level of displacement in its notes... its lovely
@blochead555 Check out Chet Baker songs : The Thrill Is Gone, Time After Time, My Funny Valentine.Sometimes called "Small Room Jazz" &" California Cool"
Give pulk pull revolving doors and like spinning plates a chance. i promise after a few good listens you'll love it. amnesiac is prolly my fav RH album
Amnesiac is probably the most ethereal album to me.. it's like the undercurrent of the other albums, the glue for Kid A that was left out, not that Kid A wasn't good enough without it, but this album tells a completely different side of the story. can all Radiohead's music not be summed up by saying "there's something about it..."?
I have Kid A, Ok Computer, In Rainbows, and the Bends. In Rainbows is my favorite of them all...I got Amnesiac literally just 30 minutes ago, and so far this is my favorite song from the album. Just brilliant.
R>I>P> Hump Lyttleton (trumpet) and Pete Strange (trombone)
In reference to where Ed is....I don't know where he is but I get half the impression that Thom and Johnny set about doing Kid A and most of Amnesiac just to piss the him off lol Probably jealous cos he's tall and incredibly handsome
@gabezylo yeah true, weight of opinion (critical + public) seems to be firmly on their side these days. I try not to be smug but I do love it when I'm proved right :D
am i the only one who is worried about Jonny's back? i mean, he's gonna have one monster hunchback when he's older with all the slouching he's doing. i've never seen him look up. haha
