You know all these electronic effects... It was impossible to play ... when Radiohead gave up to play that version. But "Still pretty good, though" :)
Ed's a sadist. after listening to every bit of music he's played, I've come to that conclusion. He generates sounds on the verge of ruining the song, that end up giving it style and earyness. Amazing
I have another great live version of this performed at Canal Studios, Paris (which in my opinion is a lot better, though this is still great) but youtube won't let me upload it, despite repeated attempts. fuckers!
After listening to nothing but Radiohead for almost a year, I finally wore it out. But now, I can come back to this song and say I enjoy it as much as ever, especially this version. Also, Kyle, I have no idea what you mean, the entire band is extremely talented, and Johnny at least has done some first-rate solo work.
i think the album version fits better with amnesiac. this sort of sounds like a b-side track to the 'National Anthem', although not saying it is still a brilliant version of the 'sardines' song
you can't say this about all their old songs even ones they still play live but this song has an In Rainbows sort of rhythm and would have fit great with their new songs with a few adjustments to the arrangement. Hope they still try it out live again in the Latin America tour
@12345l6789 Explain any musical revolution in history, with that mindset.
Popular music has a revolution ever 15-25 years (Jazz, Swing, bee bop, rock n roll, psychedelic rock, funk, hip hop, jam band, etc)... GREAT music is produced at the beginning of the new era, and the popularity goes to some of the greatest bands of all time. However, over time the artists become complacent and try to copy the other bands. The fans dont WANT the new stuff, they are just bored and that is all they have
There are INFINITE original bands/DJs/artists/etc. out there. It's just a matter of exploring far beyond what you see or listen in the media. However, among all original bands out there... radiohead kicks real serious ass :)
Also, I have to say that Radiohead isn't just about being different or not. I think their intention lies in the overwhelming depth of their messages, which most of the time (because they're geniuses) comes combined with sounds you and no one could ever hear before.
Therefore...to that comment of "as far from original as it can possibly be"... => lost in wrongness.
I don't know what you mean, we all know they didn't invent guitar and drums, but regardless of chosing popular elements to produce their music, their product is the most original piece of art there can be.
So, wasn't Van Gogh an original painter because he used paint, brushes and canvas, "just like everyone else"?
I think Thom Yorke is the real genious, I think that the rest just imply their feelings on what Thom Yorke is trying to say in a chameleon like manner
OMG this is awesome, haven't seen it for ages. It's so different from the album version, that guitar, that crazy synth electro twinkle in the background, and the fucking fuzz bass!!! Radiohead should cut lose like this more often.
roland space echo. if you're a guitar player the line 6 dl4 has a "pretty good" model of it. Roland has also re-issued it through a boss stomp pedal. sorry, Im kind of a dork like that.
wow!!!! iv never seen this song preformed live befor! they fricked aced it! that was awsome! i even think i prefur this version! tho the studio versions also awsome but damn!
why cant there be more great bands like this today.Fantastic without doubt my favourite opener of an album song by them.just hope when the tour starts in the summer they add it to there set again cause its a really dark and mysterious song which feels uplifting and paranoid at the same time
strongly agree but they have problems with this live...ive seen them 6 times and they only played this twice!i expect some surprises this year though.
This is a sick version of it too, Thom's really feeling it which is sick, because from the album version you can't tell. That's the style of the song - but it's still nice to see the emotion on this
Don't judge Radiohead by this video. It's a really fun performance but it's not their real good stuff. It's impossible for Radiohead to suck, they are too godly for that. They ARE gods. And Phil Selway kicks ass.
but why? I think this performance is incredible. to be fair colins bass sounds a little off putting at first (esp if you're familiar with the canal version). but when it gets going it sounds absolutely sublime and hypnotic. thom is sooo fucking into it too, which is always a joy to see.
Don't judge them...why? Because it's not a carbon copy of the CD? I'd rather use this as an example of how versatile they are, this is a wicked version!
incredibly sloppy set this is compared to their usual ninja precision! seems like more of a Jam, like the band dynamic had sort of shifted... good though of course!
If you think Greenday is in the same league as Radiohaed you should have your f'ing head examined, not the same league, not the same ballpark, not the same F'ing sport
As a musician, I don't think I'm supposed to have a favorite musical artist, but i just can't find anyone who can top radiohead. They're fucking godly.
I completely agree, so much more energy than the album version. and thom really looks like he enjoys performing it. if you haven't seen the canal version you should defo check it out.
Radiohead will probably never be topped live. This is a fact all of the Fall Out' loners and misfits will have to come to grips with. Live in reality.!!!!
J. Greenwood might go on to put out more ambitious solo albums than T. Yorke. I say that because his synth work just sounds that great. It's reflective of Trent Reznor of NIN and, even more complimentarily, Richard D. James.
Truly, not many compare to Richard D. James when it comes to musical machines. If you don't believe me then listen to Aphex Twin's DRUKQS, Come to Daddy, I Care Because You Do, 26 Mixes for Cash, or the "Richard D. James" Album.
jonny greenwood once said in an interview that if Radiohead ever broke up he would stop playing music because he couldn't see himself doing anything other than Radiohead...he said he had difficulty doing his solo album Bodysong
I like the canal version much better... then again I absolutely love it. but this still very cool, seems a little more mellow. I lot of people slag thom off for dancing like he's having some sort of seizure. but he defo got a great little groove going on here. I'd go gay for him at 2:02
