The String Quartet Tribute to Radiohead - Idioteque

[Politikfreak98]

There is something wrong with the chords on this and I can't put my finger on what it is... it sounds really discordant for some reason. Ahhh well, it's a fit track anyway.

[elliotnicklin]

Is it clipping or is it distortion? It kind of works in the intro.

[Rvdmets]

@Clinicasdf ha, your right. it gives it a harsher sound.

[Elctnrng]

I think Radionetta makes better covers.

[EphraimRodrigez]

@Elctnrng dude thank you very very much for mentioning them

[RedSn0wFTW]

radiohead is my most favorite band of all time.

this makes me want to cry. this is absolutely beautiful. i could listen to string quartet versions of radiohead forever.

[sandrar8222]

Epic

[PearlJammer07]

The strings really work well for this song. I will have to get this album.

[agustinmarre]

@PearlJammer07

strings work well for any song of rh

[Godspeedos]

music to these ears

[fkinmerck]

This is the "prettiest" song I have ever heard. I bought this CD the day I heard that it was made roughly 4 years ago. The whole album is simply amazing, when you can get the emotion of music through to the listeners without the use of words is simply unheard of nowadays. Whatever emotion you might be feeling when listening to this song can be justified and I can't think of another song that has that balance.

[suppcutayyy]

Radiohead is amazing as is,

and this is just

... mind blowing.

[vic225]

where can I find the parts of all these arrangments?

[matchrocket]

jesus guys, this sounds FINE

[thibaultk]

garethorchard has a point. The clipping's really noticeable, and strings that sound like that aren't pleasant to listen to.

As far as I can hear, the tuning's not THAT bad, but neither is it anywhere near perfect.

[FU7IM7CANADIAN]

lol way to trip out on youtube congrats you just became another youtube troll who yells and yells and yells and still no one is listening.

[katylunger]

@FU7IM7CANADIAN Hmmmm, you were listening...

[garethorchard]

I just don't get it. How you can you hear beauty in this arrangment? The timbre of the recording is hideous, the instruments are out of tune and the clipping/distortion is excruciating. It sounds like this was recorded with a single mic' in a tiled bathroom. This is honestly painful to listen to. I am in disbelief at comments such as "fucking gorgeous", "amazing! mind blown" etc.

[joeriroose]

do you know the original version listen that first it fits really well

[garethorchard]

Yeah, I love the original version. I'm a huge Radiohead fan. For me, this arrangement/recording doesn't do it justice (mainly because of the sound quality/tuning).

[carlthom1976]

Distortion = chaos = white noise = static = violins = perfect!

[garethorchard]

My ears are telling me otherwise.

[mattyshep12345]

you are stupid, and obviously tone deaf. Im sure Radiohead is like "omg this is so nice, and smooth and just beautiful, with the wonderful harmonies, and movement fo the music".

[mopatthetop]

SHHHH. I find that your comment is hideous. You are clearly out of tune with what is musical talent. the clipped nature of what you wrote suggests you are in fact clueless about what constitutes "good" or talented musicianship. it sounds like your comment was conceived with a single braincell in a padded cell room.You are painful to listen to. I am in disbelief at your comment.

[garethorchard]

I love that you used the phrase "out of tune" to describe my comments. You clearly don't know the difference between "in tune" and "out of tune" or else you would find this recording as excruciating to listen to as I do. I'm assuming that none of you are musicians as you clearly lack basic ear training/critical listening skills. Go and buy a chromatic tuner if you don't believe me.

[lcbw]

fucking gorgeous

[garethorchard]

Anyone else think the 1st violin part is out of tune? That top D sounds really flat. Anyway, there's something wrong with it that's stopping me from enjoying the piece. The distortion doesn't help either.

[Bi0mesis02]

I see what you mean. The sound quality could be the problem.

[pyrhead1]

when you change radiohead to classical it just becomes lord of the rings shoving frodo into a volcano epic. and how exactly are you going to stop this miley

[mattyshep12345]

I think if anyone pays a tribute to Radiohead, it is fucking AMAZING. because i love them to death.

[knifeyshaynodwayney]

@mattyshep12345 fuck miley!

[censorshipisthedevil]

@pyrhead1 Best comment ever.

[dcriso]

@pyrhead1 - LMAO! This is the most insanely hilarious comment I heard of Radiohead On Strings Quartet! Miley Cyrus! That reference gets you 5/5 pts in my book !

[PearlJammer07]

@pyrhead1 Well said.

[wwk14]

[carlthom1976]

WOW amazing! mind blown...

[SJamesGray]

All the String Quartet Tribute to Radiohead songs are utterly phenomenal. Some of the most amazing musical covers on Youtube. I can't believe these are so undiscovered.

[jonnyfootlong]

Amazing pieces of music.

[massive86venom]

[7stringevo]

every time i hear a vitamin track it just refires that passion i had when i first heard the song in a new way, it truly is amaizing. this one is especially beautiful..
