[NathaBill]

Yo quiero una de esas pastillas

[wurble]

What a beat at 2:15. Delicious.

[swapmeetsearcher]

God, how did I miss this...

[HELLsAROUNDtheCORNER]

Anyone in his place would be ridiculous... But Thom is just awesome.

[VvAndromedavV]

Sexy, sexy, sexy Thom

[nannbells]

0:48 I CANT STOP REPLAYING THIS yeah

[HandsomeJimK]

Flea is killing it on that melodica...OMG..what a sweet edition to an already delicious number...

[itsbeadyeyes]

Thom is the sexiest man alive. I could watch him dance all day and night. I never get tired of him.

[takovarra]

he would make a great stripper xD

[mahabigarcia]

thom looks a little bit drunk hahahha wait thats just ordinary thom

[mahabigarcia]

hahah thom looks like hes a little bit drunk

[K31M4N]

What on Earth is Flea playing?

[biodome007]

@K31M4N It's called a melodica

[RathalosRocker]

Thom Yorke you sexy monster

[Mimiru667]

I've always loved this song (it's my favourite on the album). Added with Thom's dancing... :P

Also, is it just me, or does Thom Yorke resemble something of Ian Curtis in this recording? :)

[blissdubsystem]

Melodica - ? do we detect an influence from Easy Dub All Stars " Radiodread"

Flea if you can hear me - DON"T LOOK BACK

[BrianKe3]

This rendition is great. I wish it was arranged like this on the record.

[birchual]

some of the bass is lost in this recording. ya cna't really get an essence of the melody with out that.

[Prisoner7777]

CAN'T WAIT FOR HIS NEXT RECORD

[YourOpinionIsGarbage]

Saw this row two or three at Coachella 2010 Outdoor Stage. This man and everything he is associated with is pure magic

[Camillegutman]

God! Thom is 100% sex!!!

[Embekewl]

Thom Yorke, you sexy beast

[5Esau2]

the studio version make me feel fear !!! but this is relax! XD! soun like tropical!!!

[Berepicnic]

SEXY

[ThelemicMagick]

Utter brilliance...

[neoaquato]

ok no joke i got to witness the glory that is atoms for peace at the sb bowl the other night and once this song came up i told my fiancee that our future son or daughter would have to be conceived to this song!

[secondstage23]

Dear lord. This is insanity. In the best light..

[megaherz94]

[MIKEDURSTEWITZ]

@megaherz94 Nah he just loves what hes doing

[Berepicnic]

@megaherz94 SURE!!! I WANT SOME OF THAT THING HAHAHA

[wurble]

[Cheezzza]

he has ants in the ass

[pojo1017]

aah, I want to see Thom in concert!

[kn3sterling]

this song makes me cream my jeans!!

[hypermusic12]

Oh god, I love this man. I absolutely adore that dance :O

[cristyxpanic]

i love hows he's like "im YOUR lapdog"

Thom Yorke is MY lapdog.

[ennqq]

he's my lapdog too, honey. in my dreams :)

[RHaeIn68]

Best Song off the Eraser.

[redrumPole]

@RHaeIn68 agreed :) but heard the Modeselektor remix? even better, i dare to say :)

[SuperKookabura]

This song never fails to make me want to drop my clothes.

Especially this version. Yow.

[MrXbrianx]

i just wanked it to a melanie laurent nude scene.

[TYorkester]

I became a fan of Skip Divided after seeing it played live. It became so much better this way. And Thom said it is a song for the 'sexual deviants'! dirty boy. =D

[peopleintrees]

what a great show and special treat for us So.Cal folks. I was actually at the orpheum show, i tried to take vids but the nazi's who worked there wouldnt let me

[guillycabral]

Quando o Thom diz "the devil may" eu sinto medo!

[wndrw982]

anyone know thoms stance on hallucinogens?

[ciucinciu]

this song (the studio version) especialy the title reminds me the dissociative effects of ketamine and especially DXM. good work Thom!

[MicahBuzan]

i tried dxm once and kept hallucinating that i was dying, it was really sscary.

[Wormsie]

Otherwise I like this, but the melodica player irritates me like hell! :D

[Raberoo]

the melodica player's flea

[Wormsie]

Yeah, Flea rocks in general, but this melody irritates me. I think there's slightly more variation in the album version.

[HayleyL100]

He dances like a sexy woman. No easy feat

[misslunettes35]

yeah, like a sexy woman! Totally agree!!

[willobeen]

I LOVE this version

[TYorkester]

Music for sexual deviants... Thom said that. =D

[Kaisersozze]

I like this version.

[redrumPole]

can't stop watching it. the eraser album is too perfect not to be played live.

[topcat2726]

Did i have one of those things when i was 3???

[redrumPole]

Thom, this is too amazing to be "just for fun". Don't tease us, we need tour! :)

[Nujali]

its a melodica you tards

[ComedicToast]

Yeah... what IS Flea playing?

[thatswhereyoubelong]

u can always listen to the tunes the classical way at home but having them performed in a different way is so lucky. be open to some creativity :)

[MsKatzo]

His sensuality is so..umm...alluring.

[lampmonster]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[michael70425]

are the other two from other bands?

[drawingshadows]

what the hell is the bassist playing

[theironprince]

Melodic. It is a heaviness because you have to clean it whenever you stop using it, but it( is very enterteining.

[drawingshadows]

it's called a melodic?

[iggypoprox]

i think its a melodica

[Chick777]

Ok! so this is my opinion. I LOVE and ADORE Thom Yorke, you can say im IN LOVE with the guy. He an AMAZING musician we know that already. I have seen him play "The Eraser" songs live (by himself) and in my opinion he sounds wayyyyyyyyy better than this. I am not saying that this "new band" he formed was horrible. Actually Flea and Thom have a great quemistry onstage. Only, i don't think they should have killed the original songs from "The Eraser" this way.

[paliss06]

it sounds strange........i like the recorded version better

[kudrauk]

Fantastic version .. this was one of my favourite tracks when I first got The Eraser. I really hope they do this again in Europe sometime..I have a huge soft spot for The Eraser as it was what motivated me to finally check out Thom Yorkes band & it turns out those Radiohead chaps are rather good

[syph81]

WTF?

Are you everybody kiddin me?!!?

THEY ARE NOT RADIOHEAD

They are just some horrifying cover band with a drunkin double of Thom singing (or at least trying to...)!!

[Blurillaz]

Um... It's Thom Yorke's new band...

[danrosenthal1899]

You are a moron, that is Thom Yorke's new, as yet unnamed band. With Flea from RHCP on bass.

[syph81]

It is clear you really don't know radiohead (nor RHCP). keep living in your ignorance if you prefer!

:)

[myxomata]

syph, you're such an idiot. That is Thom Yorke with Flea, Nigel Godrich, and two others. The show happened just a few days ago in LA. I know people who went to that show. Go look it up on the radiohead website.

[syph81]

Ok you're right. I admit my fault. That's Thom Yorke, but I REALLY don't recognize him!!!!

I mean, when I think of Thom Yorke I'm thinking of performance like this:

link 1

or this one:

link 2

So I have to correct my comment:

"This performance sucks! I hope they had some very big acoustics problems..."

[syph81]

I dicovered right now that the security policy of Youtube forbid to publish links...

anyway:

link 1 title: Thom Yorke plays "The Clock"

link 2 title: Thom Yorke Analyse (From The Basement)

Tell me if you do not notice ant differences, please

[libelle156]

Epic Fail. You obviously don't read Dead Air Space. Also, Google is your friend.

Nobody else sounds like Thom, whether he's singing falsetto, or this dark, scary "Eraser Thom" as I call it.

[libelle156]

you're hilarious dude :)

[TheSimsIT]

horrible version!!! O_O

[TsarScott]

UMMM How did u get this close??? WOW u are more lucky than a 2 pecker billy goat!

[solargesture]

you arrive before other people, duh

[bleachershane]

Big thumbs up to MicahBuzan! Only just saw them last month in Glasgow as a part of 30th anniversary of "Entertainment!", I danced the entire show away, absolutely brilliant!!!

[ptniff]

These are fantastic, thankyou so so so much.

[BanSensei]

It sounds like Gorillaz (the armonica !)

[TigerSquidCA]

thats a melodica

[crumblerush93]

this is my favorite song of the eraser

[bleachershane]

Gang Of Four! Why did I type that? Gang Of Four use something similar to that instrument that Flea is blowing on and Flea is known to have been HUGELY influenced by them! Lovely stuff

[MicahBuzan]

gang of four is amazing. "to hell with poverty!"

[sheerdrop15]

ahhh!! genius.

[powersoulboy]

If anyone wondering the guest stars:

Prince ( King of funk).

Zack de la rocha.

Spike Jonze.

Slash.

Muse.

Every fuckin genius was there to see one man: Thom Yorke.

[sublimekg]

also there: danger mouse, kim gordon

[oysterinbread]

i still don't think that thom yorke is human

[jonnysaintly]

it's a melodica---regardin "snake charmer thing"

and pretty easy to play and you can get them cheap too.

[gpeddino]

Refosco did a great job on the percussion throughout the concert.

[teamcapture]

Flea on that weird snake charming trumpet keyboard thing ...love it

[gpeddino]

That's a melodica. ;)

[taniatikaram]

Amaazing.. such an amazing vibe.... 1: 25 aauuuuuu!! XD..

[Blueyemoon]

this song is amazing...the rythm under my skin...wow! my favourite from the Eraser.

[udinis]

what i would give to be in la now

[Ziggysyrinx]

I'm in LA, d'you know what I would give to get tickets?

[Taylorbeanie]

looks like he's channeling a bit of jagger in the swagger of his performance

[hilomona]

You rule the interwebs at the moment, thank you ! (ps : love the melodica)

[mytraveltales]

Going again tonight - will begin uploading new vids as soon as I get home.

[oroszpeter]

hurry up, man :)

[RadioheadSnatcher]

Wow ! Thom's so hot here !!!

[QuietschiiFan]

nice short

[theSOUNDinterpreter]

nice quality. thanks for the video

[libelle156]

My favourite song on the eraser. I love how sinister this is :) Like an Egyptian Western.

Hey I hope Thom does that thing where he posts fan bootlegs on DAS. In fact I bet he's looking himself up now. Hi!

[mytraveltales]

I hope he does that thing too ;)

[bubblepopelictric]

wow this is good

[gamelanplan]

Love this! Skip Divided is my track on Eraser, and Thom is pure sex in this performance.

However, I'm not sure how I feel about Flea's melodica part. I'd probably agree with Fromocean, and say that Flea's trumpet would sound better in this song.

[gorillazfan2006]

melodica :D

[MicahBuzan]

what a transformation for the song. it really plays better live than i expected, the percussion is amazing.

[AtomsForPeace92]

I'm in love with the Flea + Thom combo

[fromoceantoocean]

This is brilliant, might have been even better with Flea playing trumpet.

Thanks for all these lovely video's!

[Ricardoyorke]

man... thank for sharing this!!!!

good shot!!!

greetings from argentina!!
