Tripod "Paranoid Android"

[210zach]

AWESOME awesome. AWESOME job.

[Stophocles]

On the "what's that" part, "that" is such a weird difficult note to sustain for some reason. It's not even super high.

[CHoboapple]

2:09 "dildo dildo dildo dildo dildo dildo dildo"

[dharlem39]

michael stipe is in tripod?

[Oztar1]

Didn't Radiohead do a cover of this?

[playrobbo]

@Oztar1 really,,,,,

[Oztar1]

@playrobbo Are you saying "really....." as in "sigh?" If so, I don't think you got the sarcasm/joke.

[mcgorgomagan]

I love how there's a bit of giggling, and then at 3:18 everyone just suddenly falls silent.

[Shroter]

Pretty rad.

[igsdannx]

Pretty awesome, just wish they got all of the lyrics right (nit picking), otherwise brilliant.

[chainjix]

I need a gif to express my emotions.

[Sierrabelle]

Why can't I stop listening to this?

[milliandjojo]

@Sierrabelle because it's amazing

[waerfeles]

18 people have no ears...

[sturgeonboy2k]

amazing!

[timjohnson9]

5:45 LOL, she tries to grab it but the other bitch snatches it off her :C

[stottspage]

takes 3 blokes to cover thom yorkes vocal range... great cover but thom is the man

[pjcappaert]

@stottspage I don't think they all needed to sing to get his vocal range; they all seemed to have similar range. I do agree that Thom Yorke is the shit though.

[b3ttyHen94]

This is so awesome :D

[Dude0Vinni0Dude]

Aight! Aight! Aaaaaaaaaight!! O_O Why didn't I knew about this before o_o

[shashleigh]

How have I never seen this? Brilliant!

[EspherMercury]

This is pretty fantastic.

[queenthebest2007]

Another version...

Rock4 - Paranoid android

[dionisiaco]

wonderful, especially the middle part, just what I wanted to hear from this song.

[Sierrabelle]

I've been hitting repeat on this for days.

[Chrissyinharmony]

Siman is my next door neighbour, his wife Fiona and the boys are just wonderful people. He is a great neighbour. I've seen his ARIA on the bookshelf, it's amazing!

[OhWowAshDoesThings]

@Chrissyinharmony I love that the fact he's a great neighbour slipped in there. That's really what matters! :D

[HisGibbonsVoice]

Chow chow ch chow chow chow chow ch chow chow

[dandelionhero]

@HisGibbonsVoice Whoop whoop whoop, whoop whoop.

[bersaba]

Tripod are both amazingly skilled and amazingly psychotic. It's so fitting they kept appearing on "Sideshow" because they remind me so much of DAAS (albeit cleaner).

[doubleknavery]

this needs more publicity

[milliandjojo]

i have + will always swear by this and those guys being genius ^_^

[yovix555]

como se llama la ultima cancion de despedida?

[glebber]

amazinggg!

[IronicallyChristian]

I think this version's given me a better understanding of, and definitely a renewed appreciation for the original. Everything a cover should be.

[bareakon]

what chords does Scod use?

[antifacistppl]

ha this made my day awesome song

[musicbyemilio]

this is the best thing i have ever seen :O (:

[pclarky]

thats awesome

[austriadorkus]

this should have 10 times more views than it does...

[RyanLoetscher]

That's soooo freaking awesome! @BelgianGurista... I agree, you missed the point. And how could you possibly think that "voicing" a song is not hard! Are you freaking kidding me!!! A 3-part as complicated as that is incredible to pull off let alone figure out. These guys are simply amazing together.

[JasonWRobinette]

I love this.

[thexev]

i saw them do this live last time they did pod august nights. i about shat myself when yonnie started up. it's amazing.

[ChapChap07]

i must have this on my ipod but i cant find it wtf!

[crazedforcheese]

You can so tell they enjoy it, laughing away there :D

[smurfette24]

Fucking amazing, I have listened to this hundreds of times. It is epic.

[michaelmatula]

@smurfette24 Hear hear! Glad I'm not the only one addicted to this cover :)

[Neskartu]

Amazing

[angelyarn]

EPIC

[Superchicken32]

yon is so awesome

[oztish]

For all you Radiohead fans, you should check out Tripod's cover of "Fake Plastic Trees" - it's awesome. I think you can find it on Tripod's website.

[BelgianGurista]

@oztish For all you Radiohead fans, it's good noone can cover them. Point proven again. Ok, voicing a song aint all that hard, and btw he plays all the chords wrong except for the 4 chords he does play right. (counted) So, this was utter crap. I don't even wanna watch Fake Plastic Trees. Radiohead fans watch MikeMassedotcom (that's his username on youtube) if you wanna hear a good Radiohead cover. kthx.

[mzaphod]

@BelgianGurista You've missed the point.

[visigothic67]

@BelgianGurista Im a Radiohead fan,a Tripod fan and also oddly enough a fellow subscriber to Jeff and Mike and the eternal Pizza Bar gig.

They do a pretty good cover of a lot of stuff,and I'm a big fan of practically any and every cover as long as it adds something new to the mix.

Tripod did that here,and even with clearly superior musical training and experience,the Pizza shop duo just don't manage it most times. If you are trying to sound like the original,you fail before the first note.

[MischaMoko]

Love the beginning part.

[ijansk]

the bald guy has the best voice. the guy in the middle has a good voice too, but just a little spoiled.

[FatmanXVII]

Truly awesome and funny, Tripod, awesome all the way!

[innocenceprovesnaugh]

Tripod is made of win ^_^

[Anyathe]

That is really fucking epic!!!

[jonjonwhii]

lmao sounds so funny but good! :D

[OhThereItIs]

Great finally

[skankidd]

whenever thom yorks looses radiohead

he should use tripod

[Lukeacoustic]

Fuck! You guys rock!!!! Brilliant.

[BlahGrumpy]

I remember the first time I saw them do this live at the Hi Fi bar in Melbourne. At first people started laughing, and then everyone sat there stunned as they did it utterly perfectly. Very talented lads.

[sherbetheadmusic]

Wowee!

[Ozziguy6]

omfg that is awesome..perfectly executed.

[asti898]

scod's kicking it mullet style here

[ninjamaddie]

This is fantastic. Gatesy is still my fave though. He does a great job here! As do the others! :D

[12RileyHarris34]

Incredible. How did they orchestrate this! Its funny but is flowing with emotion and all three sing beautifully!

[WolfgirlAidan]

I do tend to like the tripod versions of things more than the origionals...

[tauntG]

This is Amazing..

[Interagatesy]

Gatesy has the most beautiful voice!!

gotta love tripods version better than radio head!! love scods "you don't remember" @ 2:29

[bugalugs13]

If I had a tattoo MORE Cowbell!!! hahaha

[00jeff21]

cool.....very good

[Aberjan]

my fav moment is when scod does the growl at 2:29

[NutcaseRossy]

They should do a studio version of this! with proper solo - it would be amazing! :-)

[dclaver2]

this is actually pretty cool

[emmpathy]

epic....totally calmed me down so i can write my psych essay...

[emmpathy]

meh, you can all mock me.... but I got a Distinction for that particular psych essay. Distinction for subject overall. Thanks Tripod!

to the rest of you, must be fun to be a hater

[ronyblue8]

I loves this song and this guys!!!!!

[ColonelHerro]

As much as? I prefer it...the solo doesn't have teh same effect though, really...

[nwoolhouseuk]

This is great, Tripod do it really well. I actually like this as much as the Radiohead version. Ace!

[nattie5991]

that is so cool!! I absolutely love this song!

[LedZaid]

i think that this is better than the original : D

[Aberjan]

this is epic.

[Saltheigh]

Love Yon's beeping.

[Persiana]

Oh man, I need the mp3 for the song "tattoo"

[meghan2190]

this is amazing

[puchuchuluss]

cerealsufle: whats with all these spaniards ey? aint there a spanish youtube? .... aint there a stupid youtube for you? .... AWESOME TRIPOD!

[PepsiStraw]

OH MY GOD!

I LOVE TRIPOD!

THEY ARE AWSOME!!!

Hehe Gatesy is quite a hottie :P

5:46 girls take their sheet from the stage

XD

[Kelseysawrrr]

I love this song <3

The fact that Tripod did a cover makes it even better :D

[veviev]

I got tipsy and felt the urge to revisit this...

It is wicked.

Paranoid Android is amazing, and Tripod win.

I mean...acapella? That is mental. But it works.

Also..Happiness is a Warm Gun? I must listen, absorb and cure my naiveity.

[mysterioscone]

happiness is a warm gun is a good cure to naivety, actually the whole of the white album is awesome. just my opinion though :) I think it's time to stop my beatle-promotion before I make everyone sick haha

[juice1juice]

paranoid android has to be one of the greatest songs ever written! :)

[mysterioscone]

agreed and the song it was inspired by is just as awesome: Happiness Is A Warm Gun by The Beatles

[luchilenium]

Are you sure?

I'm a huge Beatles and Radiohead fan, and I can't see the connection.

[mysterioscone]

yes I am the same as you, huge beatles and radiohead fan (but more so beatles) Thom said he was inspired by the unstructuredness of happiness is a warm gun, as in all the parts are different to each other, and wrote paranoid android. They sound nothing alike, only in terms of structure is all :P

[BastardProductions]

the way it sounds like several songs in one?

[luchilenium]

Yeah I guess.

I heard it was inspired more by Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody anyways.

[SartriX]

It's a full cover of Radiohead's song Paranoid Android, quite simple as the title implies. Very fun to see how all the sounds of the song are imitated. And yes, the original song is that long and constantly changing indeed.

[buriedvoid]

kicking and screaming*

[priyahp]

HAHAHAHA! The epic solo!

[yobeutch]

Besides being very funny, these guys are actually very talented. They make this song their own.

[cerealsufle]

whats with all these spaniards ey? aint there a spanish youtube?

[fiha]

astounding! <3 the pod

[iggitydigitz]

this is the most glorious cover ever

[parizada]

That was incredible!

[SimonRivas]

wow that's cool

[Fernandittto]

Tremendísimo!

[Benthebass87]

I'm a huge radiohead fan, but I just don't get these guys...sorry.

[simpleton7]

Ooh, apologetic criticism, must be downvoted immediately.

[ronyblue8]

SON LOS MEJORES!!!!

[ronyblue8]

pleaseee

subtitulos en español o empezare a llorar!!!

[killsadie]

5:46 might have been the funniest part of their routine.

[JamesFarrkoff]

Funniest of the song maybe... but that wasn't exactly the point of this piece. They're musicians, not just comedians.

[killsadie]

yeah you people are fucking stupid, im talking about the bitches who try to take the setlist or w/e and one just snatches it. fucktards everywhere wow.

[gunnergrady]

be awesome to hear an idea of north a capella version of paranoid android.

[funkygiraffe]

I think it was a really good idea to end the show with something that wasn't completely comedy, because they really are incredibly musical, but a lot of their songs don't let you see it.

[AllySynComedy]

god... this was an awesome show...

[Aberjan]

At 5:50, some woman ripped the setlist from another person's hands. Lol.

[rockonjerkass]

Happy one year and one day anniversary! SUch a great video.

[butthemeatwasbad]

Really cool arrangement...but they sound too much like Weird Al.

[homestarfan2008]

I thought that I could get two more people to do this for a talent show. That would be awesome.

[sadscene]

I absolutely love this. It's so much better than the original.. I'm speachless

[primusman117]

this is shit compared to the original,please dont compare one of the most creative bands of all time with this crap

[BillosUK]

Thats your opinion and I don't think many would agree with you here. This was a homage to a great song and it is what it is and in my opinion I don't think this is crap, I think its very well done!

[sadscene]

I'm not saying Radioheads original version is bad or anything.. I just like this Tripods version better. I like the acapella-style.

[primusman117]

yea this ver is cool,but in my opinion i think the origional is still better because,well i just like it better!

[staircase11]

Yeah its not better by a long shot, there a comdey band. But its pretty good and funny.

I would kill someone for Radiohead but wouldnt bag a good cover.

[baselmes]

@primusman117 sick head

[tobiedreds88]

Im in agreement with sadscene, this version is amazing, origonal is fuckin really good, but this has extra novalty vaule, and the key change on the 'rain down, rain down' is fuckin spot on

[Fabixiqui]

alguien me dice cual es la cancion de los creditos porfa? gracias ^^

[Vicarious1aj]

Ha llamado "Si yo tuviera un tatuaje"

[racso452]

AMAZING! Way to go guys!

[mrjohnpaolo]

i cannot find the words to describe how amazing i think this is...

wow

wow

wow

wow

[jsfrulz]

i agree completely my john paolo, its pretty hectic, especially the bit wen yon sings the whats there part or wateva he says...

good shit

[Cronach]

Completely agree, the musical talent in these guys is amazing. If the did more of this stuff instead of comedy(Don't get me wrong thier cemedy is fucking wicked) they would be HUGE. Absolute legends 12/10

[Warrensredbarred]

This song is really well done :-D

[pov1las]

Definitely better than the original one. Completely blew me away ^^

[CaRiSMaTiCaH]

Jajajajaj joder que arte tienen!!!

[pjsingleton21]

it loses some of the original's potency simply because its done almost jokingly. but then again, Tripod arent trying to be deep and profound, so who cares. its a great cover. loved listning to it.

[Vicarious1aj]

Apart from the "cool riff" bit, i'd say they were definitely taking it seriously. I do think they should have done it a little bit more seriously, but hey, that's them. It was still a class performance.

[Vicarious1aj]

GO GATESY! Seriously. Had NO IDEA he could sing like that. Blew me away.

[TheDoctor947]

Im with you!!! hes such a great singer :)

gosh i love him LOL!

[merillupin]

Go Gatesy Go hehehe.

(Any serious Tripod fan should get that reference ;) .)

[Eluria8]

In this case I'd even say 'Go Tripod Go' :-)

[Eluria8]

Oops... sorry, that was a reply to

merillupin's comment.

[DevanLund]

Song In An Hour FTW!

[xxRikku]

Tripod have all my respect. Love them to bits

[Equihan]

This is FANTASTIC. Tripod always do great Radiohead covers. It definitely equals the original, at least. Thanks for uploading it.

[brownjumper]

It's good. But to say that it is better than the original is just beyond me.

[pov1las]

much better than original

[SaladStapler]

awesome

[thisisthegloaming]

I loved the boop boop boop at the start

[rolla16]

imagine co-ordinating this. fantastic <3

[andyy928s]

better than the original :D

i still love my radiohead, but this is fantastic.

[Thorvaldsdottir3]

I was hoping for a song about Marvin, but this was brilliant!

[QuailosSie]

That was so amazingly awesome! They did such a good job with all the sounds.

[54spiritedwill54]

i prefer this to the original

tripod rock!

[kevmangrasshopper]

This is so amazingly awesome! Tripod are such legends!

[deathing2]

[trodengore]

[Geordieness]

Sad part was this was the first version of Paranoid Android I ever heard...It's still amazing, though! Great cover.

[Okusurei]

I love this so much. <3
