Yoav covers Radiohead 'Idiotheque'

[mrparker220]

What is it with the dislikes?  The guys talented. True, I could do what he does, anybody could. BUT it would take me a month and a half to do it and he does it in three minutes. And mine would be shit. So there,

[TheNatclaja]

meilleure version que l'originale !!!

[Stophocles]

Wow. I hated that.

[etho42]

can somebody tell me what kinda gear he uses to repeat the sounds over and over? i don't know what they'er called but i want one

[chocohi]

@etho42 loop pedal

[redhotpeppychiller]

@etho42 I think it´s a Boss RC-20XL LoopStation. maybe 2 of them!!

[emulsyjna]

@etho42 yes, he is using boss rc (don't know which model though - is it 20 or 30), but definitely, it is boss loop station and on this video it can be seen he has two of them and in the middle of them there is boss digital delay. so basically he relays on delay and loop station. :)

If you thumbed this down you're an idiot.

[CerveauJetable]

I love Radiohead, I love Yoav and I love this cover !!!

[DEEECKED]

lol Idiotheque? fail

[Niccibruce]

This is amazing Yoav.

[TheJonesy0605]

Not a fan of this. One of my favorite songs of all time, but not sure he's done it justice.

His version of "Where is my mind?" on the other hand I think is absolutely superb.

[WTFRawrtube]

When he starts doing the drum bit that is quite cool... other wise thumbs down.

[iancurtis123]

not brilliant

[Matt22964]

man is awesome! FULL STOP

[gkram212]

awesome !!! loved it !!

[quapaj]

Yoav beats Radiohead in terms of actually forming syllables to create coherent words. Seriously, without a lyric lookup, there is no way to tell what they are singing. I do love them to death, though.

[xZolx]

I admit, the beginning was a little jumbled, but is not that bad of a cover.

I kinda like it~

[lopitumpi]

big shit

[NikoGot]

GROZE!

[ZenPenguinTube]

Yikes, what is this? This makes me believe I can sing a song and put it on Youtube and people will watch it... even though I can't sing.

[gewmonster]

totally different vocal range...

[Gib376]

Not Bad!

[enzio81]

what the fuck?

[MelchizedekRatio]

Wrong notes, bro

[sonicdancer14]

Oh well...better than obadiah parker.

[Strikalo]

Great!

[hopethisnameisntok]

this is shit

[illogic1978]

I don't get all you people complaining about a cover of a song sounding different than the original. A cover is an artist paying homage to another artist or song they admire by doing it in a way that reflects THEM as an artist. What would be the point of Yoav getting a bunch of guys together and doing a Radiohead impression? Might as well just listen to Radiohead! If your favorite song is so sacred to you that you don't want to hear someone change it, then just listen to the original!

[Wawarrior]

You're right... but as an artist you also have to understand and transmit the meaning of the song you're singing...and Idiotheque is quite a violent song about war and destruction, so to me it can't be sung as a sweet pop song...

[midcitybanks]

@illogic1978 agreed. artists who simply play another artist's song are on thing, but to take a song and change it's genre is a true cover. i think of songs for radioheads, all covers in different genres

[NNJ007]

I wouldn't call him a virtuoso... but you have a good point, I won't see this video again

[NNJ007]

wow you totally screw the singing, it sounds like a cheap pop star

[Revox1975]

bis bald im Pirates in Hinwil CH

[JonVrod]

I personally didn't like it. Quite mediocre version. But the guy is somewhat good.

[XJeFX]

i hate vocals american idolatizated...

[costaskar]

bravo re magka!!!!!

[Vedettes08]

Es hermosa esta version!!! simplemente hermosa..

[Khemrikhara]

My kind of cover. Love it.

[asbear]

Great. Just great.

[Corfii]

I don't want to be insulting but did you listen to the lyrics of this song ?

Your sounds and your singing sound like honey while they should be rather frightening and sharp.

I know you want to do your own interpretation but what about the spirit of the original song ?

[brettyboy30]

wow FUCKING TERRIBLE. what about this makes it idiotheque other than the lyrics?

[vicprobey]

the beat

[fifeslife]

This is absolutely horrible. Don't disrespect the best band in the world.

[qvico]

Yoav, te voy a compra un tambo que la guitarra te la carga con tantos golpe

[jrouby]

I'm a great Radiohead fan and this cover sounds pretty good !

So, i've listened other Yoav stuff and it's great !! Why i hesitate to come see you when you were in Montreal Jazz Festival this year ? :D

[Spoookie]

Damn i Would like that Song..

[katakulle111]

Its quiet successful. U need to have a quiet some music knowledge and talent to be able to cover this song by your own. Congratulations....

[ichap1]

Very, very, very good.

[Lastangels]

God bless Yoav!

[kusss1]

theres no H. its just Idioteque

[zerocool2025]

Far better live than in the studio IMO but still truely great, everything this guy touches is top class

[Indoloveuz]

Yeah that's great =O <3

[blindmarty]

i don't like it. but i guess it takes guts to cover radiohead, especially this song.

[eezlewax]

he's putting his own stamp on it, I think its fckn mint:D

[drstiewe]

awesome cover

[mrhyno72]

breathtaking

[stewdean]

I've used that studio, it's the Joint in Kings Cross.

[cedarstreet]

oh....!?! so beautiful....my, oh my.......

[savaledj]

Great how you play with the delay! I love it!
