He's not much 2 look at, but what an awesome voice! I love Radiohead completely - vocals, lyrics, and music. I saw them in 1996 as a back-up band for REM. Loved them more than REM, and went out and bought this Cd tbhe next day, and it remaians one of my favorites
ALL TIME FAVORITE RADIOHEAD SONG, was supposed to be on pablo honey but they thought it sounded like a Rod Stewart song.[1]However, during the sessions for The Bends it was was felt that it worked well with the rest of the album's content. IT is the original recording never re recorded for the album Thom stated that he was pressured into this song on being on The Bends.
If I remember rightly, Johnny plays the sliding notes by rubbing the strings with the ridges on the side of a coin, and sliding it up and down the string to get different pitches.
@ceridawn actually the term did exist at that point it just wasnt as known as it is now a days and used to brand shitty pop bands. emo has actually been a "genre" since rites of spring, fugazi and embrace cam out of washington dc. heres a list of a few good pre 2000's emo bands. texas is the reason, sunny day real estate, mineral, jawbreaker, the get up kids, etc. listen to some of these bands because im sure if you like radiohead you may like a few dont say things unless you know the facts.
emo? you have no idea what you are talking about. Wasn't it Radio 1 that banned there earlier songs for being to depressing? Have you listened to In Rainbows, 15 steps, Reckoner, Jigsaw Falling into Place, and Weird Fishes. Lots uplifting music. As for Kid A and Amnesiac, I love them, but I always fail to put them in a genre. But I know for a fact, that it is without a shadow of a doubt, not emo.
went through a too emo way??? is that supposed to be english. And when did radiohead ever become emo?! haha that's hilarious. you may have different ideas, and i'm here to tell you they are fucking retarded!
just cause it makes you feel depressed doesn't mean it's emo, what if a movie makes you feel depressed, does that make it emo? what if i call you a fucking retard and it makes you feel depressed, does that make me an emo?
i think nirvana paved the way for radiohead, in terms of them becoming successful, but radiohead is defiently the most important band, musically, of the 90's and now, one of the most important of all time in my opinion
I feel Nirvana is completely irrelevant to Radiohead. I actually feel Nirvana--as a former fan--slowed down the 90's, because it wasn't anything new, unless over-distorted guitars was a movement. Radiohead's "OK Computer" was a movement in music itself, if not just the way guitars are played nowheredays.
I'm just saying that Nirvana brought alternative music into the spotlight, but i agree with you that Radiohead changed the music scene by creating a whole new movement and has since influenced many bands
yea you can definitly tell thom's fucking tired in this one!!!!! i mean he does outstanding, AND he's exausted, the mans just great, even when he hates the song he's singing/playing
Lol you're a shit singer. And I haven't even heard you sing. You know why? You mustn't have much experience if you think Thom is out of key here. And to understnad how to sing well towards the end of a gig when you're exhausted to fuck.
try singing for two hours a night five nights a week for nearly two years straight and see how your voice holds up khanoh you cunt." the untalented judge while the talented do" i just fuckin made that saying up...that'll be worldwide by next week.
The point of the matter, khanoh89, is that even Thom's bum notes don't detract from his overall performance. I just listened to this performance and didn't cringe once. It's all about feeling, and Thom Yorke has it aplenty.
Also, if you want perfection, or whatever you describe as perfection, go and listen to the studio version and leave the live fans alone. Idiot. Just because you have this "amazing" opinion that Thom sings badly doesn't mean we need to as well. It's opinion, mate, not fact.
You misunderstand me, I meant that technical excellence doesn't always equate to listener pleasure. I'd rather listen to The Ramones than Yes.
And it's very easy to say you're a better singer but, until you've done a gig in front of >50k people with monitors blowing up and unable to hear yourself, I don't think it's fair to make the comparison.
Singing is also a very subjective thing to judge on technical standards. You wouldn't judge piano or guitar parts on 'technique' so why should singing be any different?
A lot of singers don't hit the right key in live performances. Yorke sings newer songs a lot better, I think it was always going to be a problem with old falsetto tunes like High and Dry.
a lot of people say this is one of the best glastonbury gigs ever but when Radiohead themselves talk about it they said everything went wrong, it sounded terrible and that they were so disappointed by it that a cloud hung over them all through the OK computer tour.
that's not really true - if you watch Meeting People Is Easy Thom Yorke says that, in terms of the OK Computer tour, everything AFTER Glastonbury was a dissapointment.
Wrong, my friend. Radiohead, music critics and many who where there hail this Radiohead performance as one of the best performances of all time - by any band.
its that great of a solo, especially not for jonny greenwood . but yea, i still really like this song. who cares if it isnt innovative? its got a nice sound and melody to it. yeraeaaa :-)
Thom might hate it, but it highlights what makes Radiohead so good in that they can turn what would normally be a pretty mundane pop/rock song into such a beautifully performed piece. Its pretty straightforward but it works really well.
not the last time, but you're pretty close. they only played it a handful of times after this on OK Computer tour and that was it. i don't think Thom likes this song very much...he didn't want it on The Bends. i remember him calling it "fucking dreadful" in one of his interviews.
It's very curious that you say that, because I would say that Coldplay was influenced by Radiohead not the other way around. Don't get me wrong, Coldplay are one of the best bands. But this is the original sound of Radiohead before they experimented with electronica.
Yeahh, you are right. Right at this moment, I'm for Radiohead, specially for their new masterpiece: In Rainbows. But that could change when Coldplay release their fourth LP. The thing is that Radiohead is already a legendary rock band,and Coldplay needs to prove themselves more innovative, more experimental, and take more risks with their sound. But overall I really like them both. What do you think?
but they don't. coldplay is good at writing emotional songs about love. i wouldn't say boring, moreso just relaxed. and cheesey, sure. but look at some of the songs radiohead has written....when you take a look at the lyrics of creep, they seem a little cheesey.
please, please do not mistake this as thinking coldplay is better. radiohead is my favorite band right now, coldplay looks up to them, and i dont think cheesey is a bad thing all the time.
Radiohead is surely my favorite band at the moment and it has been in a while, but lets not forget about pink floyd, which in my opinion is the best band of all times!
He does, I heard that the intro riff he originally wrote as a pisstake of a Rod Stewart song... they've since dropped the song from their live setlist which is a shame, its one of my favourites.

but they don't. coldplay is good at writing emotional songs about love. i wouldn't say boring, moreso just relaxed. and cheesey, sure. but look at some of the songs radiohead has written....when you take a look at the lyrics of creep, they seem a little cheesey.
please, please do not mistake this as thinking coldplay is better. radiohead is my favorite band right now, coldplay looks up to them, and i dont think cheesey is a bad thing all the time.

Radiohead is surely my favorite band at the moment and it has been in a while, but lets not forget about pink floyd, which in my opinion is the best band of all times!

He does, I heard that the intro riff he originally wrote as a pisstake of a Rod Stewart song... they've since dropped the song from their live setlist which is a shame, its one of my favourites.
