i wish i could turn back time and be 16 in the 1990's, not now. i wish i could follow radiohead across the world wherever they go and just go to every fucking concert, watch them grow and develop musically, instead i'm stuck at home lacking vitamin d watching all these concerts on youtube
Classics.. incredible song ... THANK YOU RADIOHEAD... you made an era of new music come alive... ELECTRONIC ROCK ... ( or rather PSYCHODELIC ROCK... HAHAH.. ) *** LOVE IT ***
Is it just me, or is this actually 'harder' and 'edgier' sounding, compared to the album version of the song? Guitars particularly sound harsher and more clear, which is a good change
@Thelastonion2010 couldn't agree more with you. for anyone who disagrees...this isn't a direct comment at you. clearly anyone who disagrees has fallen in this hypnotism of society themselves. it's important to make a living, support a family, etc. but materialism shouldn't be the center of your life. millions of people live a life, passing by all the beautiful grandeur this world has to offer. materialism has consumed us, made us living in the shit-hole we're in today.
@SoMusic15 u said it there hun....i dont even have a tv....fuck propaganda!!!!!!!!!!......i listen to buthole surfers and john frusciante and opeth and children of bodem and many others i dont limit myself and do not condone the limiting of others either....live love die....see ya ....
I like how its impossible to sing a Radiohead song. Thom has such a great unique voice. Plus it has this depth to it that just penetrates right through your soul.

radiohead said in an interview that with the bends, they wanted to move on from the grungy sound of paublo honey into a more britpop style. Ok Computer was a result of touring with REM, kid a + amnesiac was like electronic genres (glitch, triphop, etc.) with jazz (miles davis, etc.). hail to the thief was like a return to form, and In Rainbows was a shit load of things, including bjork.
I've always thought of this song being about the superficiality of everyone. And a fake plastic (double negative) person is one that is real in an expanse of shallow, worthless beings.
its songs like this that help you to get out of that mechanical systematic way that we function day-to-day and just help us learn to realise everything else about the world
this song reminds me so much of the things i see around me every day. everywhere i go, i see fake people living lives with fake emotion, just going through it all like they just want to see the end, and not really enjoying each day as they should. for these people, the sun rises and sets on their mechanical lives, bringing about occurrences that couldn't matter in the least to them. they should hear this song so that they can see what they're missing by doing that to themselves.
no matter how many years go by, I lose it every time i hear this song. It's so simple, yet so beautiful and entrancing. The lyrics are a pure masterpiece, and the sound is so pure and awe inspiring.
Greenwood is good, not the greatest ever by any stretch of the imagination. He seems like one of those guys who knows they are good and is really arrogant.
@maniacchris Not at all... Jonny Greenwood is very humble and introverted about his music, but he's dedicated and passionate. He's one of the most underrated guitarists because he doesn't go around showing off his talent. :/
Maybe it "wears her out" to find real things. So she, like the rest of lazy society, goes and buys a fake one, just for decoration. But soon the fake-ness will take complete advantage of the laziness in society. It's starting with Fake Plastic Trees.
Was this one of the first times they played this? The audience didn't seem to know it... (p.s. my claim to fame - I was in the same room as Johnny Greenwood today :)
@Tickedyboo i would assume so. thom still has his "the bends" era haircut and there is some different guitarish stuffing going on so i would imagine it was one of the first times they played it.
I believe this song was played in 1994 when they played the Astoria in England. That was before The Bends was released and several songs from that show had never been played before (including fake plastic trees.)
my meaning of long hair wasnt literately of having long hair but of how his character was with it (his long hair being styled like a rock star instead of how it is today where its just long)
now his hair is just well...not payed attention too in his intention to be a rock star, hes just himself
long hair or not hes much better now than pablo honey years
it's been said many times before, but Jonny Greenwood is the greatest musical genius of the late 20th-early 21st century. There is no equalling him in whatever he does. Also, this is the best version of this song I've ever heard.
@unhappytobehere I don't think so. I guess Graham Coxon beats him as guitar player, as guitar innovator (?) and as a songwritter. Some things that Blur did, Radiohead did years after.
@redkopite4life No, I don't think so. Blur experienced with electronic and Oasis didn't. Some ideas from BLUR and 13 can be heard on Kid A and Amnesiak.
I'm not telling that Radiohead are a copy, just that Blur was more than "britpop". And, by the way, Radiohead were part of the brit movement.
Hum, hum, don't exagerate ! Though i have a huge consideration for Radiohead, there are a lot a incredible skilled guitar players that can compete with him, and win.
Anyway, Radiohead production is definitely worth listening to it.
During the recording sessions for The Bends in 1994, the band watched Jeff Buckley in concert; Yorke later said the concert had a direct effect on his vocal delivery on "Fake Plastic Trees." However, Yorke has said, "It annoys me how pretty my voice is... how polite it can sound when perhaps what I'm singing is deeply acidic.
