@2195Matteo Although it uses only five notes, because it uses the second scale degree it is technically a "complete" natural minor scale, as opposed to a pentatonic which typically would omit the second scale degree. In any case, saying that it is "just" a pentatonic does not detract from what the bass line adds to the music - it's a great bass line regardless of haw you classify its pitches.
This live version is infinitely better than what is on Hail to the Thief. This song is a prime example of ruining a good song by tinkering with it too much in the studio.
@denxos To each his own I guess. The studio version to me sounded like they came up with a good song via traditional instruments and then Thom was all like "we have to be different guys! lets use loops, synths and a bunch of effects". The end product was a very stiff song that completely lacked dynamics. Unlike this version which is just plain brilliant.
live version is def better. colins bass riffs are a genuine upgrade to the lp version. nonetheless, both are enjoyable. Bands who sound the same, in this case, BETTER live are truley truley talented.
@1buzywuzy1 That's why RA_D/OHEA_D pwns, the last album they release is always better than the last one, they always evolve to something better! :) I can hardly wait for the next album!
i fucking love this version...but i dont get all the people saying they didnt like the song before they heard it live....I think it's one of the best highlights on hail to the thief
i know the racontours are on the same label as radiohead is now, XL recordings. im assuming the white stripes are as well. not sure about the others though.
i love my self. because i know no one else loves this like i do. it is the truth. i like this song as much as the one on the album. i saw this on ifc last year sometime. wish i knew what this is really about. drugs...and ritualists. people who do evil? i don't know. i love myself.
Although the version in Hail... is a little bit more cold and in a way scary, I think the rythm here sounds better, kind of much cleaner and easier to digest. Anyway it sounds amazing both ways.
then clearly you are not a radiohead fan because you definitely are on the internet... either that or you hate yourself, which you should for make dumb comments.
The one guy who disliked this is a hipster. Radiohead hipsters. Anywho why isn't the studio version like this? It's so good!
