  • be constructiiiiiive

  • prophectic words

    

  • that bassssssssssssssss!!

  • jonny looks as if he pulling energy from some universal well

  • always ahead of the game,they predicted the meltdown 10 years ago

  • 2:30 its beautiful. and then, thom smiles (tha cute smile of him) because he realize that has just sound perfect.

  • Hail the O mighty Colin

  • I bump this song all the time in my car!

  • I wish they'd play this live more often

  • @BenjKris same here, very underrated song!

  • This is the Radiohead era I miss the most. To each their own, honestly, but I wish they would have never left the Kid A/Amnesiac style.

  • @abbr Yeh I agree totally, Loved this period,with this song also morning bell , In Limbo (live Version) How to dissapear completely , etc etc I could go on, although I have to say the live version of TKOL sounds much better than the studio version , In my opinion anyway.

  • @abbr couldn't agree with you more.

  • Why do I keep obsesing with EVERY SINGLE Radiohead song???

  • @joacoteho I am going through the same obsession. Youre not alone.

  • I know it's a cliché to talk about someone or something being the most under rated whatever but Phil Selway has got to be one of the most under rated drummers there's ever been.

  • I don't get how Radiohead comes up with all these crazy sounds and lyrics that NO ONE would even imagine to compose.

  • Easily one of their best live songs, unfortunately haven't had the pleasure to see it live myself though. God dammit!

  • Colin Wrote this song.

  • the best band of the worl.. :) (y)

  • phil selway is such a good drummer

  • I wish i still had a voice like that

  • Radioheads songs take forever to get into, although once you get them, you love them.

    Even The King Of Limbs is turning into one of my favorites!

  • anyone have a solid guitar tab for this? i checked 911tabs but they were lame

  • @coldplayerbuckland Try ultimate-guitar, otherwise I'd just try watching the video to see what Ed is doing, doesn't look too hard.

  • @coldplayerbuckland try songsterr i learnt it and its great

  • fucking class end ..........of

  • the best live version of this song is off the live in paris dvd. Anyone know what happened to that vid?

  • 178 dollars with no cents XD

  • Definately one of their best songs

  • I adore Ed's backing vocals in this! They sound perfect.

  • just love that guitar riff ed is playing, so hypnotic

  • BEAUTIFUL.

    

  • Ed rules (:

  • i think Colin wrote this one, or most of it.

  • That's why Radiohead is so good. When you take the time to listen to them it is like a big discover. When I started listening, the thing that grabbed me at first was the music. I could only hear the music without Thom singing. What a state of mind that was. Then, it all melted together. Verdict= Awesome.

  • 0 dislikes.

    I believe that says more than my individul praise could.

  • Amazing song, so underrated

  • i got to hear this song when they came to mexico on the In Rainbows tour. I almost cried. I couldn´t believe the high quality of their live performances. It just sounded perfectly elegant and neat. I love the jazzy bass and guitar. It is amazing.

  • this might be one of the best of radiohead. do you know any other band which sounds like amnesiac?

  • I just needed to share one thing....back in 2004 when I was writing my final exam for my B.A at university (english lit and stuff) this song was playing in my head for some reason for the whole frickin time and....I guess....I think....it helped me write some interpretations of some mid ages poems...can;t explain it but it worked.

    btw I passed ok, even made it to M.A:)

  • If you like Radiohead you don't need to find a reason to defend your position, or even get angry if someone is critical of the band for their music. It is dark and revealing and even apocolyptic at times and not everyone wants to hear about grim realities. If every band were like Radiohead it would be depressing but the fact is that Radiohead continually push the boundaries and sometimes rebel against their own success. They are for deep ple who like meaningful music, &r slightly eccentric guys

  • The bass line and drums remind me of Massive Attack

  • the more i listen amnesiac, the better it gets

  • oohhh gawwd this song made me jizz my pantss

  • i love jazz

  • proof that ed can sing

  • so emotional at 2:29. and thoms face at 2:44, he's so lovely.

  • Anybody else get personally offended and angry if they tell you they don't like Radiohead?

  • @Quipert Hahaha, yes, I get that all the time. I'm usually very good at respecting other peoples' opinions, but whenever someone says they don't like Radiohead (ESPECIALLY when they say 'oh, they're too depressing'), an uncontrollable rage comes over me.

  • @Quipert sounds like pretty elitest behaviour

  • @Quipert i get even more offended if they follow up by saying they like muse

  • @Quipert Nope

  • Thom Yorke will Never die.

  • This song is godly.

  • the older twisted words

  • This is such a great song, i hadn't heard it until now, and I can say that I love it (the bass line is tremendous!)

  • so brilliant and so far ahead of its time, it never ever gets old

  • !!! amazing..

  • love the live version but i miss the strings from the recording :(

  • I like Amnesiac better than Kid A.

  • @tellytubies123 And I like Kid A more than Amnesiac.

  • radiohead and the doors are my favorite! jim morrison and thom.

  • I love this song :)

  • Best band in the world for me!

  • this is my favorite radiohead song. so interesting..

  • just brilliant lyrics, amazing song

  • My favourite out of Amnesiac. Yus.

  • Optimistic, Dollars and Cents, and The Tourist are quite possible the best Radiohead songs everyone overlooks.

  • Amnesiac is one of my lesser favorite Radiohead albums. I think Kid A overshadows it too much. After all, people refer to it as Kid B since the Amnesiac songs appeared in the same recording session. Kid A will always be Radiohead's most brillaint work in my opinion. The progression from OK Comp. to that record was mind-blowing. Amnesiac has great songs in its own right, but the demented segue way tracks like "hunting bears" and "revolving doors" don't give the record a needed wholeness.

  • in some cases not all some people prefer the madness from this record to other ones

  • @fruscianteman kind of agree that it lacks some of the cohesion of Kid A in some ways but it's a weirder way record, less flow but more tension at times. I kinda ultimately prefer it for that, and pyramid song which alone must put it in contention for best album, that and Life in a Glass house and Spinning Plates.

    Also Pulk-Pulk revolving doors is great and odd, Hunting Bears similaly gorgeous sound imo

  • Ed's backing vocals is brilliant on this one! And I agree with "degree7", this is the most underrated album of all time, period

  • Hot damn, it's amazing how wholly underrated Amnesiac is. I mean, you can tell just by this live performance how utterly demented it is. I guess it was just too *much for some people.

  • my favorite album of all time, besides hail to the theif, excetttteraa excettera. xoxox

  • I thought that was a line from 15 Step

    ;D

  • oooooooh yah ;)

  • What a great performance.............what a fucking great song and atmosphere

  • This song is... a living nightmare... wow.

  • dollars and cents...wont you quiet down?

  • Comment removed

  • what about airbag, and everything in its right place- quality openers

  • the bass i soooooooo nasty.

  • Also, I think thom is possibly the greatest frontman in a band ever. He's not in your face, but when you watch him it's clear to see he's so completely and utterly passionate and into the music they're creating. not just going through the motions like so many others. I love how at 2:47 he's got a beaming smile on his face, then 20 seconds later he's snarling into the mic with a look that could kill.

  • @ wurble

    Mark E. Smith of The Fall is the greatest frontman of all time.

    However yeh Thom has an incredible on-stage persona which contributes towards the whole mystique of radiohead.

    It all ties together though... MES references 'Can' as one of his most inspiring influences (Tago Mago album especially) whereas Radiohead are also widely regarded as a modern era version of Can.

    Great music always has its circles with other greats, thats the genius of the format.

  • Now i got it.. I FINALY GOT IT WITH THIS SONG ! ... something i've never be able to do before.. LOVE IT ! :D

    there's always good surprises listening again and again the ''old'' ones of radiohead, recently the same happend with ''The Gloaming'' live version..

    That's why it's the best band in the world :D

  • haha I love it. it's amazing how some radiohead songs are like that. you can hear them over and over again and be like "meh... I don't see what all the fuss is about". then one a song just clicks for you. more often than not it's hearing a live version when I get the "click" moment. like dollars and cents, morning bell, and as you say, the gloaming.

    There really is no other band for me where that happens, so I'm with you, that's why they're the best band in the world.

  • Yeah, you can listen to their albums 20+ times (Kid A, Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief in particular) without getting it at all, then suddenly, randomly, you just fall in love with them. The longer it takes to get into a band, the better they are, and Radiohead took me longer to get into than any other band. I suppose it can be a downside though. It's really hard to get other people to like them...

  • you hit the nail exactly on its head!

  • @YorkeTchock thats because a lot of people do not know anything about music.

  • @parasiticlittletick Yeah, unfortunately, you're right. Most people think good music is stuff you can listen to once or twice and find catchy or fun. In reality, good music (IMO, of course) is music which has many layers and is full of depth. Radiohead's music is the epitome of this, I think. Annoyingly, everyone still seems to think they're too depressing to listen to... but if people really PROPERLY listened to Radiohead, I'm sure they'd find them powerful and uplifting. Ah well, their loss...

  • @YorkeTchock yeah true that.. tool and radiohead are my two favorite bands! both powerful! both full of depth and very up lifting. i wish people wouldnt think of tool as some new rock or metal band. because they are neither. oh well. radiohead and tool should go down as two of the best bands ever.

  • @YorkeTchock totally true, happens EXACTLY like that here in Argentina

  • @YorkeTchock couldn't agree more.

  • @YorkeTchock so very true!

  • @YorkeTchock I feel very identified with this comment. When i heard Radiohead the first time, i taught they were kind of boring. But i was SOOO WRONG. They i realized that each song has it´s particular experimental sound. Very original. Very radiohead.

  • @YorkeTchock

    My point exactly! Every album is like a treasure, you just need to really dig for it!

  • @YorkeTchock It's also really hard to grow old of bands like that.

  • @YorkeTchock It's because they are a musician's band, meaning they don't try and write songs to get you to repeat "I whip my hair back and forth" to nausea at first listen. They write what is intriguing to them, and that's why it has lasting power.

  • @YorkeTchock Amen. I used to hate Radiohead when I was younger. Creep caught my attention a couple of times it was aired on MTV (When it was so called 'MUSIC-television'). Then I heard Jonny Greenwood's score for There Will Be Blood and I thougt it was genius: Thus connecting him to the band my mind made the calculation that if this single man can create this wonderful piece of music... then they must all put together create fucking bliss! I started with the opening track for Kid A and boom.

  • @Exeron91 Yeah, I find that amazing too. Three of the five members have released solo work, and Ed is apparently working on some music of his own, so it'll soon be four out of five. And that's astounding, really. So many members of the same band making their own music (and they're not all orthodox solo artists - Jonny writes film scores and Thom explores the depths of electronic music). Kind of conveys the abundance of talent in Radiohead.

  • @Exeron91 a simple advice from an old RH fan, don't listen to the king of limbs at the start if u'd like to discover their music, it's a bit weired ( TKOL) if u like haunting songs listen to ( how to disappear completely, pyramid song, or rockener). Rock songs could be (jigsaw fall into place, weired fishes or the epic PAranoid Android. that's my humble opinion. hope u will have a good listenning . Vive Radiohead

  • @sarbool I loved TKOL...

  • @YorkeTchock This is so relatable... I've been trying to get my friends and girlfriend in to it. I'll keep pushing 'em

  • @wurble idioteque did that to me when i was 16.

  • imitation is cheap, but i wish pop musicians would at least *attempt* to mimic yorke's lyrical style

    LEAVE SOMETHING TO THE IMAGINATION

  • terrific!

  • I love Radiohead...

  • colin greenwood

  • I might be wrong Performance gig

  • i really like this song....

  • What a tune,one of my favourites from Kid A/Amnesiac.

    Love the strings on the album version

  • I've always thought this song never got the attention or airplay that it deserved - VERY underrated and VERY outstanding, especially live.

  • i dont know about u but the song is almost insane in nature the guitar riff just makes you feel like your being driven insane its so aggressive and droney ITS AMAZING!

  • the dogs nuts :-)

  • Why on earth does this have so little views?

    Amazing performance.

  • this was on my bday

    im so proud

  • I wish the studio version had an ending like the live version does. Ed's guitar at the end is fucking INTENSE.

  • don't think i have ever seen ed work quite so hard...LOL

  • probably his biggest contribution to amnesiac haha... although hes still a great guitarist

  • hunting bears?

  • nice atari shirt

  • jjaajjaja !! where are the real fans !! guess ? there all bullshit ! this video are one of the best..

  • Thanks for this. It's amazing! great audio!
