[luciano53688]

oh, my god! 4:05 - 4:48

[ItsNotAmnesia]

Hey guys, just wondering if you could check out my channel and have a look at the trailer for my coursework film. It's more of a teaser trailer, so i've got another one in the works, but any feedback would be great! Appreciate it, thanks :)

[miekjemeis]

Well, this one here is Optimistic! :-) This song makes my day!

[sdwesson1]

I like it just a tad slower

[tebas450]

LIKE!



[fuzzizi]

@aer0smith1 LOL orgy :)... Wait is that what your talking about?.. oh awks....

[aer0smith1]

@fuzzizi Well, if Thom was in my room, an orgy would be the best option.

[PedoPedrin]

This is my fav song bc of the way it is delivered on the album. It kinda saves your life.

[CandyJaneKid]

moving to the country, gunna eat me alotta peaches...

[gdoddmeta3608]

Radiohead would never be quite this good again..

[etejuanete3]

@gdoddmeta3608 smart way to troll

bitch

[nitemare1993]

[rottencore0]

What an old fuddle duddle that tom yorke chap is!

[fsaramburu]

all fender moment...............like that

[jogpianoman]

@fsaramburu I prefer Gibson ;P

[jldkrank]

@jogpianoman That's too bad.

[thesourcejoe]

thank you....

[tomnikond600]

The best band in the fucking world!

[redrooster280zxt]

They get so into the music. Everyone seem's to be lost in what they are playing, but find themselves at the same time. I have never seen so much passion.

[andydufresne87]

now i am drunk and i had to turn on my pc just to listen to this masterpiece, long live radiohead...

[quicky2103]

Nobody should ever be allowed to cover Radiohead. It would be impossible to even come close to duplicating this kind of awesomeness.

[relium]

Amazing

[higherorbital]

an improvement on the album version which was already amazing.

[JFLD02186]

this is a very very heavy song...evolution issues.

[arpadoo]

simply can't get tired of this song. sooo cool:)

[RearrangingReality]

I don't care about what anybody says... His lazy eye is a-fucking-dorable!

[IRVINGTERRA]

One of the best of Radiohead. This song is so well structured and its so different with escalation and vibe. Just plain musical genius.

[LloveLlamaLlauren]

@IRVINGTERRA true dat broooo

[edendvaeden]

.ењффњефњеф

[darcymaui1]

sometimes your best really is good enough and this is it...an amazing masterpiece

[darcymaui1]

dont ya just love meeting in between this raw earthy primal tribal feel and this pure etherial sweetness ....its good......a masterpiece like this is good enough for me!!!

[slw59]

this song makes my socks roll up & down

[pedromartins186]

2:30 Ed's like, fuck yea...

[EngineG9999]

13 people are oblivious to genius. This is a towering, terrifying masterpiece.

[IvyNirvana]

@EngineG9999 Yea most people don't even take a chance to listen to them, and hate on radiohead. What assfuckers.

[TOOLosophy]

Whooh...I'm already feeling a little better

[JBeezie428]

I hear lots of Jeff Buckley influence in this. As expected. Radiohead is the shizzle...and Buckley is missed.

[kkmatt]

@JBeezie428 really? how...like any songs that this reminds you of? (curious j.b. fan)

[KoiChannel]

Look up "While The City Sleeps - Rooftop Dreamers", kind of similar industrial triphop techtures yet huge emotional crescendos.

[Winst0ned]

"no heavy petting please whilst we're performing"

[MachinaSapien]

@Winst0ned cheerio

[ACWilderness]

Nice quality...

[dscthfc]

How the hell can there be dislikes on these tunes at the basement.....they are LITERALLY one of the most infuential and inspiring bands of all time....and this is live...It's so tight and all these years on they're still justifying the tag as one of THE greatest!!!!!!!!!

[elenacy]

which album is this from?

[dscthfc]

@elenacy Kid A....Brilliant Album!!!!

[MiklZz]

@elenacy kid a

[etejuanete3]

@elenacy

Kid A

2000

EMI

[karink99]

Try the best you can!!!!!

[scrolling]

Jonny Greenwood es una verga!

[aer0smith1]

how about "Radiohead: Live from my Room"

i think that would be cool

[fougere15]

@aer0smith1 ahahah for real

[gdoddmeta3608]

@aer0smith1

How about "aerosmith sucks ass"

Bitch

[downrodeo2112]

I've always felt that riff could be in a soundgarden song, Amazing Band and Amazing song, I can't take other bands seriously after listening to them

[420Guitar420]

@downrodeo2112 Yeah I feel the same way after listening to bands like Radiohead, Rush, and Tool. They put other bands to shame.

[RonaldinhoReborn]

@downrodeo2112 Who, Radiohead or SoundGarden? Sounds like your talking about RH, but Soundgarden is awesome too, so I'm not sure.

[ajittffcure]

This song reminds me of two other songs, especially one song by Joe Jackson. Check out Joe Jackson's 'Stepping Out' and Siouxsie and the Banshees' 'Tenant'.

[quicky2103]

One wish......to have been in the room, lounging on a couch during this set. Pure heaven

[blablaablabla]

those dislikes must be backstreet boys

[johnbrown53160]

RADIOHEAD ROCKS!

[misosca]

somebody has heard Radiohead "fall away" song??

It s really goood !!!!!!!

[slw59]

scary good

[sLAUGHTER115]

Radiohead reach god mode at 4:05

[jalepenomack]

@sLAUGHTER115 helly yeah, man. The harmony they have is amazing.

[ChopFooey]

The mark of professionals, they sound better live than on record.

[Warrison]

@ChopFooey Absolutely true. The best bands in the world sound almost disappointing on record compared to their live performances...

[downofasystem80]

13 people can suck DONKEY-DICK!

[wingking077]

its like a new born bird playing fucking great music

[deanilk]

radiohead is amazing live love 'em

[fuzzizi]

@TheBuckeyGuy28, they do, but it' called the "Replay" button. Sorry if you got confused.

[stevycurley892]

@fuzzizi think he means something you can press at the start of the video so at the end it replays itself without you having to press the button, either way he sounds like a gimp

[TheBuckeyeguy28]

Youtube needs to add a Repeat button... that way i dont have to keep having to start the video over myself

[ColorfulHyena]

Colin makes funny faces :D

[hierophant0209]

haha, Top gear use this starting music for Legend F1 Driver Ayton Seyna clip. finally I've found it

[moeskeeez]

@hierophant0209 yep they've used quite a few radiohead tunes on that show..

[benglee14]

This is pretty awesome but where is the amazing coda at the end? My favorite segment from all of Kid A.

[noisez13000]

@benglee14 was that on optomistic or the next song? but yea it would of been cool if they fitted it in.

[Drenwickification]

jonny's guitar sounds orgasmic here, it's much louder than on the album version.

[JonasHaterTillDeath]

13 people have hit the dislike button

[DasVogelgriep]

@JonasHaterTillDeath You must be related to Sherlock Holmes.

[antigrav118]

I was totally wrong. Thanks GodSpeed

[antigrav118]

Thats not a starcaster...a starcaster is a $100 Guitar. Jonny is playing a PRS or something. What about Thom playing a Jag-Stang? Most of the videos i've seen of radiohead shows them sporting Tele's.

[GodspeedYouMattP]

@antigrav118 Assuming you're not trolling, it is a Fender Starcaster, made by Fender in the late 70's/early 80's to try and take hold of the Gibson hollowbody market. And Thom is playing a Fender Jazzmaster, I think an American Vintage 62 re-issue, but knowing him probably an original. But you are right in saying you'd normally associate Radiohead with Telecasters.

[123GuitarGuy456]

I want that Starcaster sooo bad.. but then again I could never get it to sound as good as Jonny can..

[123GuitarGuy456]

I want that Starcaster soooo bad!

[MrLimbking]

you can try domestiiic ham, domestic ham is good enough

[jaybokral]

@MrLimbking Hahaha!



[AncientAeon]

@MrLimbking

Funny, it sounds like what you want/expect it to sound.

[ExpansionDeVille]

@MrLimbking L M A O

[AreaCode978]

I LOVE Radiohead.

[Blubellfield]

Jonny is God ! (mine at least)

[karziflora]

@Blubellfield Mine too along with another legendary Johnny....Johnny Marr - Jonny Greenwood!! 

[Blubellfield]

@karziflora

Yup another legend indeed, and guess what Radiohead musicians were influenced by the Smiths along others.

[xbeautychicx]

I just love watching Thom's head do its own thing... >:)

[binder673]

I still remember when I saw them in Chicago in 2008 right before they sang this song Thom said " you guys are so quiet....fuck ya" and everyone just went nuts....=) ahhh good times.

[kurtiobst]

@binder673 I was there.  Amazing show.

[Caulfield2000]

13 people need to be a little more optimistic

[Caulfield2000]

13 people need to be a little more optimistic 

[pantapdiazho]

damm if i were in that room i would be screaming and kicking xD RH FTW!!

[TheParanoidHumanoid]

Damn, I should have seen Colin's shirt was a clue for the release of The King of Limb! ^^

[jirdimaster]

@TheParanoidHumanoid That's art from Amnesiac, it was on all the Pyramid Song EPs

[WGBudd801]

The best you can is good enuf - didn't Jesus say that?

may Karma bless you Thom Yorke

[dutchzippy]

Awesome! 

[MegaSuperdonk]

a balance of urgency, faith, and sof confidence in a hopeful bath of love

[newbliss29]

Gah I love jonny! that guitar man.

[SirSifter]

That drumbeat is sensational

[shinyapples]

@SirSifter

fricken brilliant.

[samelf07]

this was so fucking tranquil that i lost control of my bladder and a leak in foundations of my trousers

[shinyapples]

@samelf07

hahaha

[ljswan34]

Pure Bliss



[shenj010]

ha im glad everyone agrees, although I'm back in the same situation again, thinking the same thing

[Fenner1976]

Radiohead + The Basement = Biblical Talent.

[BITTOBRA]

PERFECT!!! BEATIFUL!!!! JUST LOVE RADIOHEAD!!!!!

[chawan92]

Radiohead + Banana Bread = Good day spent in bed

[breachmania]

@chawan92 Banana bread :)

[BukkakeNation]

@chawan92 What makes it bread?... i mean flower sugar banana's it's clearly a cake! 

[Mortuus]

Dinosaurs roaming the earth.

[Drenwickification]

4:04 = heaven.

[ParodysOnline]

this is better then masturbation

[NightshadeHalloway]

@ParodysOnline You're doing it wrong.

[Claudetite]

amg yessss, one of the coolest songs ever!! <3  <3 <3

[ETgins]

can anyone please tell me what jonny is playing at 1:38?

[galagaman]

@ETgins A guitar.

[cmatthews926]

colin kills it on this one.

[2cookluv]

I know right? Radiohead is very addictive, my daughter was always listening to them and then I got hooked on their music, I am from the US and live in Arizona.

[YoMamaBeenLurkin]

@2cookluv I find it hard to believe that an American appreciates Radiohead

[mickykiiatein]

@YoMamaBeenLurkin i'm from ireland, and you sir are a prick. what? radiohead is reserved for you? listen to the first track off of the new album, what do you hear? flying lotus(=american), and liars(=american). radiohead happen to be the most popular alternative band in the world

[dcp123]

@YoMamaBeenLurkin Why cant a american appreciate Radiohead?? That would be like me saying "I find it hard to believe a English bloke can appreciate a good dentist." Very shallow statement

[dcp123]

@YoMamaBeenLurkin that is very shallow... that like me saying " I find it hard to believe a English Bloke can appreciate Nice teeth."

[Thunderpussy88]

how is that hard to believe? they were influenced by the Pixies. Boston Mass. Last time I checked that was in America. Just because we have a surplus of ignorant people does not mean there are not many tasteful individuals with appreciation for talents like Radiohead. Dont be so jaded.

[Aaronbailey69]

Listening to this through my earphones at work and swaying about like a mad man. Just trying not to get caught doing it by the customers and looking like a freak. It's just too good not to get carried away with it!!

THE KING OF LIMBS out on Saturday!!

[01jarf]

then go listen to ¨go to sleep¨ by radiohead haha

[GregDeano75]

@01jarf

Yes, Hail to the Thief is one of my fave Radiohead Albums and go to sleep is a cool song. Not sure what you mean by the " Ha ha" at the end? Am I just being a Paranoid Android? Sorry that was Shite but even some of us radiohead fans like a bit of banter don't we? Lol.

[GregDeano75]

Well what can I say? Enjoy the few bands like Radiohead while they are still putting out quality like this as you can. What makes me sad is there are hundreds if not thousands of bands with talent like Radiohead across the globe who will never get signed due to the fact they are not a safe bet to print lazy record bosses instant £$£$ in very little time and with very little talent. Fing awesome!

[86elmaestro]

the last minute or so just blows my mind. so good.

[petegiant]

I just realised listening to it, that parts of it are quite similar to "Band on the run" by Paul Mccartney & Wings.

[pinballkid]

I was watching this on tv a couple of weeks ago, and my wife made fun of it.

For the sake of the children, we're trying to make things work.

[SilentEcho33]

@pinballkid LMAO! my motto is, "if my bitch don't like herself some Radiohead, time to get me a new bitch"

[al4prez13]

@pinballkid I laughed so hard.

[optimisticcosmic]

@pinballkid yeah i'm not marrying somebody who doesn't respect the Head

[fame777]

@pinballkid

fuck her , dump her ass

[2kstoner]

@pinballkid

Too funny :) I feel I'd say something similar in your situation. I don't want to give you any unappreciated advice, but I would suggest sneaking radiohead to your children as often as possible ;) Music to live by.

[2kstoner]

@pinballkid

Too funny :) I feel I'd say something similar in your situation. I don't want to give you any unappreciated advice, but I would suggest sneaking radiohead to your children as often as possible ;) Music to live by.

[Micklol]

@pinballkid

what the hell did she say anyways.



[BlazYee]

@pinballkid

Hahahhahahahahahahahahahaha. Great comment !

[dmpittman35]

@pinballkid I hope you get the kids!

[etejuanete3]

@pinballkid if I marry my girlfriend, I won't have that problem (I met her in a Radiohead concert)
