A funny aside to the whole Radiohead/Coldplay thing; Thom was once asked what he thought of all these bands like Coldplay making a living off of essentially OK Computer era Radiohead. Thom's response was simply "Good luck with Kid A". I think that sums it all up nicely.
@fuck192ass Gotta agree. I thought In Rainbows was mostly boring besides Reckoner. It was mainly a bunch of butchered B sides that sounded great before the album ruined them. Big Ideas Nude anyone?
funny how he says, "we want the young blood, we suck the young blood to keep us going" because two albums later 'we suck young blood' came out on 'hail to the thief' thom has it all worked out
People who call Radiohead depressing have obviously never been depressed. Sure, it's not the happiest stuff in the world, but it has a different feel. It isn't depressing, it compliments depression.
@cynthiailly One of the great things about Radiohead is that you never know what their setlist will be exactly. They don't get in ruts of playing the same 15 hit singles every single show.
can you sing 'look at the stars' to this? would you want to?...this song is more beautifully terrifying and emotion stirring than anything Coldplay could ever produce!
can you sing 'look at the stars' to this? would you want to?...this song is more beautifully terrifying and emotion stirring than anything Coldplay could ever produce!
@cameronforbes4 hey i like coldplay and interpol and many other underrated bands but i think all bands are unique and radiohead is one of them ... i fuckin LOVE radiohead , diferrent music for different emotions is what i say ...
Right. How else can I explain how diverse music is? Blue prints are reused ideas. Inspiration is a birth of an original idea or an original arrangement, of that extra musical mutation....then you have Kid A, but after, please lets hear evolution and not emulation. I still like The Bends better than Kid A, and I like them as much as the next guy but what I like now alot is vastly original and not Kid A...but lots of things have been done in honor of the inspiration Kid A gave. Peace!
The best way to describe Coldplay: They're a user-friendly version of Radiohead. They're Radiohead for the masses. Any true lover of music knows that Radiohead is better :)
This is true, but that doesn't mean you should hate something because its softcore, everyone has something to share, at least in the alternative genre.
LOL what country isnt full of shit lol the whole world is a shit bowl waiting to explode polluted waste land.we are all at fault just for breathing your killing the environment we live in a world of shit!
you tell me where the perfect place it doesnt exist and it isnt heaven thas a hoax human are born to die and become sand and minerals dont forget to recycle we might make this planet last a little longer but we live in a world of shit! every where injustice pollution war rape aids pedophile
Huh. You think he was talkin' about Coldplay there?
Coldplay's latest album, Viva La Vida, was fantastic, but you'd have to be a moron not to realize that they made their career riding Radiohead's coat-tails. Parachutes is OK Computer, except stripped of everything that made it interesting. I'm a Coldplay fan, and I'll admit that.
where did you hear about the lineup being released on the 16th? I can't wait to see it, and i can't bring myself to spend the 260 with out knowing, b/c for me it's a 9 hr drive. either way I'm sure the lineup will be awesome...it really can't be described how fucking cool that place is, there is not even any really good pictures in relation to what you will see
Yea the site says they will release the line-up before GA sales and after Earlybird tickets, like you said the line-up in def. gonna be good! Yea i've looked up lots of pictures, how would you descibe the fest.
I think I kind of know what you mean. There is a large aura of confidence that I feel when I see him speak or perform that he didn't have previously. That is quite evident from going back and watching these 'Kid A' documentaries. He's a lot more 'happy' in 'Kid A Lives' as opposed to 'Reflections on Kid A.' It seems a large amount of pressure was lifted.

Don't get me wrong, I LOOOOOOOOOVE RADIOHEAD, but "Meeting People is Easy" is such an AWFUL documentary, almost to the point where each image is like a pile of feces being thrown in your face. If I ever come across Gentry Lee in real life, I will beat him to a bloody pulp and feed him to the vultures! Who's with me?
Excuse me I meant Grant Lee although ironically wasn't it Gentry Lee that directed the video to "No Surprises?" Well, either way, I will hunt down that bastard, beat hime to a bloody pulp and feed him to the vultures! Who's with me? BWA-HA-HA!
I think the object of the documentary was to just show the tediousness of being a "rock-star'. It wasn't really making that much of a statement about RH or the members of RH.
actually...i think he is quite normal.he does have 2 children yknow.and there many mentions of being "normal"on the 2nd disc for in rainbows...also in past songs as well....i quote"nothings going to happen if you dont want it to"
i did not mean to say he isnt "normal". i was wondering how his children would cope with having a father who is in fact one of the greatest pop musicians in the world, let alone his personality -artists are never easy people to deal with.
hell ya!might you be referring to the loads of cash!!!hahahahahalol!anyway.should be good at lollapalooza...this will be the 7nth time ive seen em....cant wait!and this interview is the best ive ever seen.
7th time?? Ive just seen them in milan last wednesday, and it was my second. amazing show -from the front row :) i just dont happen to like the interviewer, but its a good documentary

that's not what marketing is about. it's about drawing connections between groups of people and products to find better ways to engage consumption. there is nothing wrong with consumption.
This is a cool live version of In Limbo, but i don't think it beats the album version. I remember the first time I listened to it, I thought it was just absolutely chaotic nonesense. Two guitars being overlapped so its harmonious yet discordant at the same time. Fucking brilliant.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Haha...Thom's such a liar....he says "i saw on the cover of some magazine that 'Kid A' has no melodies'"...right after saying he doesn't read the press...as if THAT was on the COVER of any music mag...come on...caught redhanded Thom...he still reads the critics...listen to how he hustled through that line so you wouldn't stop to think "hey...what magazine said that on the cover?"...but I forgive him for being a liar, since he's the greatest musician of our time.
i think what he meant by "saw on the cover", is that he just scanned it while looking at a mag, and not necessarily reading the whole piece..not reading his critics doesn't mean "not to read at all"...
um i think every musician is a normal person in life but once into his/her music they're unique.. and their songs aren't exactly their life its their messages :S xD
what does he mean by "someone in an advertising agency who needs an idea quick" and this person "stealing an artists work"? this person using the artists work to advertise for something irrelevant? or what?
and does he use "to find you" as in to find people that will be the markets target?
