John Mayer "Kid A" Radiohead Cover (audio & slideshow) 2001

[MaghoxFr]

Dude the description of this video is shite. Disregarding Radiohead? There's a reason Mayer is covering them, and I don't think it's because he thought the original song was crap. That a song is acoustic doesn't mean it's better. In this case, the song is simpler.

@MaghoxFr What part of the description was "shite"? In what way did I "disregard" RH? I never said that I thought the original was crap, neither did John Mayer in the quote I used. In fact, I believe he stated, " I tooled up this version of 'Kid A' because I love the song, I really do. " Whether something is "better" or "worse" is subjective, isn't it? John Mayer's version is different. Just because I don't care for the original, doesn't mean it's a bad song, it means I don't like it.

@MikeysMisses2 I didn't sy Mayer thought it was crap, in fact I wrote the exact opposite. If you don't enjoy the original electronic sounds, it's up to you, but saying "the lyrics can actually be understood" is a very stupid comment to say. And no, not everything is subjective, there is better music. The original is more creative, more complex and more innovative. This is a good version.

@MaghoxFr The quote "the lyrics can actually be understood" came from Rolling Stone magazine, if you don't like it, take it up with them.

PS Do you even know what subjective means? Or should I say, ¿Sabes lo que significa subjetiva?

@MaghoxFr Radiohead is not for everyone, and even though I love them more than John Mayer (700x more), you can't argue with someone into liking them. You either like them or you don't. I personally think they're fucking incredible. ;)

You seem to be looking down your nose at "looped beats and electronic tones," and at Radiohead's version of the song in general. There's something oddly passive aggressive about that paragraph in the description. Just sayin'...

[MikeysMisses2]

@dropbows90 No disrespect to the listener was intended. I just really like this version and really don't like the original song. True, I'm not a fan of Radiohead, but I don't see the description for "Kid A" as passive or agressive, just an observation.

[MikeysMisses2]

Yeah, I really like JM's spin on this song.. I much perfer it to the original. Thanks for commenting. :~)
