go on google and type in "we suck young blood lyrics" you'll know every word he says. Thom is pretty abstract with his lyrics, so that we can take it how ever we want to... I like to think that he's a vampire, lol.
I always thought of the claps on this song as sort of a Radiohead joke, like they knew when they played this no audience would ever settle on the claps like they do on the album
the clapping soooo bad. it actually pisses me off. i just want to scream "CLAP AT THE RIGHT TIME YOU FUCKING IDIOTS!!" gaah! haha. oh well, this song is amazing!! for the like 10 seconds where it gets fast-paced: eargasm.
It's hard to take someone's comment seriously when they can't use proper words or grammar. Also, this song is absolutely BRILLIANT. It's so... malignant...
They get it eventually. Good thing the right clap is the strongest, eh? This is my favorite track off Hail to the Thief. Though it's still the Radiohead record I am most unfamiliar with.
@Luvinhas i actually think Amnesiac is the best, i mean it's right after Kid A and i never really gave it much thought, until i listened to it completely... its great and depressing and genius :]
LOL! I work for Clear Channel...and love Radiohead. CC has plenty of good... and bad people working for them. Just like all your local merchants and businesses. This is about greed taking advantage of the young energetic gullible and naive workforce, among other things.
what does Thom say in the beginning...this song is for what???...then crowd boo's...then he says..oh no no they're really nice....what did he say???????
i thinck this song thalks about the boses of industries and tells about are you hungry? they offer us products and suck the young blood whit the money and the thincks they sell us they have all control about what we eat what we wear and what we watch they suck young blood =)
I wish I could attend a concert with all other true Radiohead fanatics that know how to clap on beat, be quiet when you should be quiet and know all the words but don't have to sing when it shouldn't be sung...... Now THAT would be fucking epic.
I was wondering the same..Here in Italy there's an association called "Clear Channel" wich organise concerts..is the only thing that came to my mind for now..
Through a bit of coincidental research, I found out that Radiohead was at the time, dunno if they still are, but were boycotting performing at Clear Channel set up venues, a big company that sets concerts for artists at big venues. Hence Radiohead had been playing at smaller venues, during the Hail to the Thief tour.
Thank you! The part that i was missing was "Clear channel" and actually i still don't know what does it mean..but, whatever..i love this song anyway, and sorry for my mistakes
is this talking about how the government sends young people to war...hence society (we) are benefiting from sucking the blood of young when they go to defend us
No, it's pretty clear that this is about large record labels and Hollywood recruiting young, talentless people who are "sweet" and "fresh" and down on their luck, only to screw them over, sucking their blood"
Vampires? It's about corp. america and worldwide greed sucking the "young blood," our young naive up and comers. Incidentally I work for Clear Channel. This song reminds me of Have a Cigar by Floyd. Oh, by the way, which ones Pink?
