  • ice age coming! Scrat!

  • so in love of radiohead

  • supremo

  • Just as awesomely intense as jim Morrison was in his prime. Brilliance, is this.

  • Кайфовая песенка)

  • love these artistic freaks!

    

  • A highlight from the last truly great album Radiohead ever did.

  • @PantheonLincoln Really? I mean I respect your opinion, but in my opinion I think HTTT is pretty good, In Rainbows a masterpiece, and that TKOL is just perfection at its best. But yeah, Kid A was an amazing album, no doubt about that.

  • @PantheonLincoln No love for In Rainbows? That's an oversight on your part, I think.

  • @PantheonLincoln Their last truly "great" album will actually be there last album :D

  • @chesspiece11 It's always their last album

  • dance, Thom, dance

  • radiohead is my drug

  • mon dieu que j'aimerai les voir, mon dieu faite que je puisse les voir, et apres moi le déluge

  • One of their best performances of this song IMO. Not that it's bad ever, but sometimes Thom's voice is just so worn out (Usually if they play the song at the end of a set) that it takes away some of the magic. Only some though.

  • I LOVE THIS VERSION IS JUST... MAGIC!!!

    THIS IS REALLY happening

  • i absolutely adore the way Thom dances

  • God i would love to see Radiohead live....its my dream to see these guys live T.T

  • To end all arguments, I personally love everything Radiohead has done (including Creep) and it's a common process. 90's rock band, plays heavy rock/grunge for a while, gets bored, decides to turn to electronic experimentation to maintain their fun.

    Not having a go, I love Radiohead, just saying it's not unusual.

  • If you love Radiohead, then you must love creep. period.

  • i'm addicted to this music

  • gotta love Thom's Asperger's dance :-P

  • Thom is an evil genius.  An evil vet? An evil petting zoo?

  • Comment removed

  • @knobjockey12 i really hope you are joking...

  • @DenemChikn I really hope radiohead are joking. And this King Of Limbs stuff? More like King Of Phallus...

  • @knobjockey12 haha good one..

  • @knobjockey12 are fucking kidding me? creep is one of the worst songs radiohead recorded, it's just a bloody single.

    this is a whole other league. if you don't understand radiohead, don't bother spitting out those bullshit comments

  • @jmaguerra I understand radiohead very well thank you very much and I don't appreciate your bullshit elitist attitude. This IS on a whole other level, a much worse one. Creep was the beginning of the plateau of success which is but a memory now.

  • @knobjockey12 creep is a commercial hit that, compared to the majority of their work it doesn't even sound like it's the same genre. it was a plateau of success the same way most singles are, they work with the masses. i'm not the hugest of radiohead fans, but for me idioteque is way ahead of creep or fake plastic trees, high and dry or karma police.

  • @knobjockey12 radiohead is my favourite band, and i have to agree with jmaguerra man. creep i personally don't really like (along with most of pablo honey) and fake plastic trees whilst it is a great song isn't nearly as interesting as anything they did post the bends. Back then they were just another band. Now they are the most individual brilliant bands ever.

  • @knobjockey12 and your name is fitting. knobjockey.

  • dat beep in the back holy shiet

  • thenoblequran (Ctrl+Enter)

  • i seen some covers of this,they were good but this is amazing

  • radiohead at there best!thom's dancing sets the tone!!!!

  • Orgasmic to my ears

  • radiohead isn't popular at all where i live, outside of chicago. I have met one other person who listens to them, and since the only song that people know by radiohead is creep, they all assume they suck. i want to live in europe

  • @fruitypeebils I'm from Chicago as well, did you got lolla when they were here in Chicago? One of the biggest crowds I have seen……plenty of people love radiohead……especially the college kids

  • Thom is one slick mofo!

  • I <3 Thom lol -India

  • this is scary. i know you guys on the web can be hard but i am trusting in radiohead fans and thus radiohead. i got a channel on youtube and i am trying to get herd. i would love some feedback. its under jeb stuart productions. i aint just piggy backin of a band cause of their name. fckn love these guys. first time i saw them was tibetan freedom. beautiful. im a byproduct.. thank you for listening

  • I need this like I need blood.

  • @333ThirdPlaneT

    Are you Dr. Acula? R.I.P. Mitch Hedberg

    Love you Radiohead

  • the drummer and the drum machine are goin hard

  • many groups have done that. all they did was add laptops.

  • Moron

  • Heard mary is doing a cover of this on x factor next week.Should be interesting.lol!

  • Thank you!

  • you can hear the heavy aphex twin influences here, he is one of my favourites. Radiohead do some amazing things.

  • Does Phil Selway ever age?

  • @flossin690 Does Johnny? Does Colin? Does Ed? Does Thom? No. They are gods.

  • @flossin690 haha you should see him now! they all look pretty old

  • does anyone know what Johhny Greenwood is messing with...those patches and all that?

  • @graveytrain55 Johnny could probably get an amazing sound out of a phonebook! They're all great musicians.

  • this song is epic, can't describe how it makes me feel! it's insane and completely amazing

  • he looks happy

  • one day his head will come off x

  • This is a terrible crowd. Why aren't they celebrating this incredible concert? THIS IS RADIOHEAD AND THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING!

  • @dpthomas37 Because it's a TV show, therefore the audience will no be cunts and talk through songs and throw beer around like little kids.

  • @dpthomas37 from what i've seen of these jools holland clips the audience is always quiet and reserved no matter how badass the performance is. the only time ive ever seen anyone in the audience showing any energy during a jools holland performance was thom yorke himself dancing to red hot chili peppers.

  • I wish I was there to listen it live.

  • haha i wonder what drugs thom was on to dance like that?:S

  • this is pure shit. But if people wanna dig shit, be my guest.

  • @stratis74 thanks for your permission, i love it

  • @fuckamericanidiot you are welcome, scatman.

  • @stratis74 nahh don't give me that much credit, cleaner is more like it, i don't smear it on my face or eat it

  • @fuckamericanidiot No, I know. You just like the sound of shit.

  • @stratis74 no, no, no just cleaning it

  • one of the best

  • Kid A is an amazing album, kind of psychadelic

  • complete jizz

  • Radiohead started with pure rock then introduced the electronics and evolued in a way that no other band did. Their work is so large, diferent and great all the way. That not even the doors did. Its not pop, its not rock, its not thom york either, its radiohead. The greates band of MY time al least. I will have to go to london to see them if they dont come to Portugal soon.

  • 1:34 Phil was so bored, until then when he got to kick in with his drums xD

  • @theringodd I love that bit so much!! i wish the original had live drums.

  • Radiohead did beyond what the beatles did because the beatles did not perform their studio albums, radiohead recreated kid a live so well.

  • I like that this show seems to crack down on in-set noise very effectively.

  • I would hire him to dance for me! LOL

  • how can he say after this that 'the drugs don't work' ?

  • apocalypse anthem, red alert

  • I love this song so much. I usually hate electronic music, but this song... the lyrics.. I fucking love it.

  • at 3:15 it looks like Thom is possessed by a chicken or something

  • omg... -_- i always dance like that when i have explosive diarrhea and the bathroom is occupied lol

  • Eminem is twice as good as Jay-Z, but 0x2 is still 0.

  • @Tyger2393

    listen to ''no apologies'' by Eminem. Then tell me Eminemis 0.

  • 2.46 onwards, i jizzed

  • gives me shivers

  • gives me shivers

  • <3 Radiohead.....always and forever...greatest band to ever walk this earth....and I mean ever.

  • Take this song twice a day and you should feel fine...

  • Genius ~ x

  • @mraverage2006

    Sei Un Mito!

  • I can't get enough of this! :)

  • Omg, stfu all of you guys. Just only listen to or ignore Radiohead while its playing. And stfu and leave beattles alone cuz they are dead but legends. simpel

  • thom yorke stole chandler bing's moves!! lmfao

  • oh how I love you Thom Yorke.

    and jonny, phil, colin and ed of course

  • Without the Beatles, some of the greatest (and worst) music of the world would have never been created.

    They are pioneers. They don't have to be the best at their instruments. A man who creates the wheel doesn't need to create the rubber...

  • @a3dez03 dunno aphex did a pretty good job at that

  • anyone can follow anyone, people follow jay Z , doesnt make him good.

  • @ThisTownNotMe

    but Jay Z is good.

    and Eminem is even better.

  • @1337RulerSean ill aggree eminem is better i wont aggree jay z is good

  • @ThisTownNotMe Well I can respect that.

  • @a3dez03

    You couldn't be more wrong. The Beatles were highly influential and all that, but there were plenty of bands around at that time that had FAR more influence on modern music than the Beatles (The Velvet Underground, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, The Stooges, etc.). I'm so sick of the Beatles getting all of this undeserved credit. They were great POP song writers. THAT'S ALL. Just because Oasis and Nirvana were on the Beatles' dick, doesn't mean everyone has to be.

  • @nick4man3 The Beatles were pioneers of many studio sounds/songwriting techniques that we take for granted today. All those other artists did have influence, except for maybe the Stones. I'm a Stones fan, but they've pretty much just done the blues their entire career. Dylan obviously had influence, as did Iggy. The Beatles get a ton of praise because their influence can be felt in most kinds of music today, like it or not.

  • @LoveisintheStars The Stones did the blues their whole career, but they were one of the first to introduce it to popular music. Their presence is still heard today in bands like The Black Keys, don't downplay them.

    The Beatles just wrote great songs, that's all. A lot of people were doing what the Beatles did in the studio long before the Beatles were doing it, and they don't get half as much credit.

    By the way, Radiohead rocks. Just figured I'd try to stay on topic.

  • @nick4man3 You can't praise The Stones for bringing the Blues into mainstream and criticize Beatles for bringing much more specific things into mainstream, from drug use and political expression down to moog synths, excellent songwriting and studio techniques. That's kinda bias. Both had great influnces and both influenced bands, but in the end, The Beatles influenced much more in music from then to now. Thom likes both, but he doesn't cite Ok Computer and HttT to The Stones.

  • @graysonbreeden

    Dude... WHO CARES?!

    Isn't this a Radiohead video? It's bad enough that I let myself get involved in this stupid argument for as long as I did. I don't like the Beatles, I do like The Stones but more importantly I DO like Radiohead. I love this song, in case you forgot that this was what the video was.

    If you want to discuss the Stones vs. the Beatles, find us a forum dedicated to that and I'll be happy to debate you to the death.

    Jebus take the wheel.

  • @nick4man3 Now you're just degrading yourself. Talking in circles, truley, to just fit your fuel. If you REALLY didn't care to submit bias opinions, you wouldn't have done it in the first place. Don't freak out over a discussion when you're just as much to blame for filling youtube, a place for discussions, with anger and troll-outs. No one said we didn't like Radiohead. I came to watch the video for Idioteque, scrolled down and wanted to discuss with what you were talking about.

  • @nick4man3 And there's not much more to debate about when you admitted yourself that you "don't like The Beatles" and "like The Stones". That's not much of an discussion worth having.

  • @graysonbreeden

    I'm annoyed by the fact that this discussion has been going on for as long as it has. I will correct myself, I DO like Revolver. I'm not a big fan, I respect their work, but I think their image has greatly surpassed the substance of their music. I feel bands like the Stones, Dylan, and the Velvets did so much more for music than the Beatles, yet they don't even get half the credit.

    I think I already made this point forever ago, but I'll repeat myself for your sake. Happy?

  • @nick4man3 This is a much better comment. You were not this clear to begin with, and this is something I can agree with.

  • @graysonbreeden

    I'm glad we've come to this understanding. I legitimately like Revolver, I think that particular album was ahead of it's time in some ways.

    Anyway, "Idioteque" is by far my favorite live Radiohead song. Especially when the drums kick in for the second verse.

  • @LoveisintheStars Dylan influenced The Beatles, hence the whole existance of Rubber Soul and drugs onwards.

  • @a3dez03 your parents should have used a rubber. piss off you cunt

  • @a3dez03 Totally agree! Great line. Now to watch the video again... =}

  • @a3dez03 i think it would have been a better comparison if you said if you said the man who creates the wheel doesn't have to make it spin. but good comment :)

  • @a3dez03 yeah,it's definitely true but i'm sick of people pointing out this thing

    what about chuck berry? if chuck berry didn't exist we would have never seen the beatles

    and i could say this back to classical composers like beethoven and mozart,no mozart and no ludwig van and we would not have modern music

    so please,stop being a beatles paladin,sit back and enjoy music,the world doesn't spin around thanks to the word "if"

  • the beatles were one of the first thats all. The fact that someone would even want to include those brits with these is just...well not too smart. Radiohead hails frm a different time with a different grasp on music. (the beatles borrowd most of their music) Fuck that shit.

  • @me4monty "The Beatles borrowed most of their music"? You're right to a certain extent. But over the years Radiohead have also 'borrowed' from many existing styles - including post-punk, grunge, prog-rock, jazz, classical and IDM. Their influences include the Beatles, U2, REM, Penderecki and Miles Davis - all of whom came before Radiohead themselves.

  • @LantaGem Truth, but in terms of now to then, a dominent majority of songs from the beatles were covers, well they're debut stuff. All the love songs and that jazz, but radiohead is completley their own. No matter how much Thom loved talking heads =D

  • yay for squid dance!

  • It's like cool epilepsy.

  • i think with Kid A, Radiohead became like The Beatles. They pushed the boundaries of popular music and changed what it could be.

    No other group today has done that

  • With Kid A, Radiohead surpassed the Beatles I feel personally

  • radiohead is one million times better then the beatles

    radiohead is great because it all comes form the heart and it innovative and amazing and beautiful and full of emotion

    the beatles are famous because they came around at the right time and everyone just happened to copy them,, nothing more

    IMO there music lacks emotion

  • @kindofatheist

    you havent even listened to the beatles, have you? the beatles and radiohead both encompass enormous qualities of originality. their styles are almost opposite: radiohead is much more ambient while the beatles are obviously much more folky. both are incredibly innovative in style and technology. its like comparing led zeppelin to pink floyd...they are just too different. one cant be better than the other.

  • i was brought up on the beatles, pink floyd, led zeppelin, alot of reggae and most other classic rock bands because, of course my parents and most of my siblings love them...

    i only really enjoy queen, and abba(not classic rock, but good older music)

    most old music lacked emotion

    it was all just people playing what they thought they should play

    atleast thats what it sounded like..

  • ooooh, i like them because i feel the exact opposite way about them. Their emotion and talent seems much more obvious to me than most bands out there today.

  • yeah ringo is like the best drummer EVAR!!!

    yeah yellow submarine is pretty damn emo.

    just a blatant really funny example, NOT SAYING, i dont know more songs by them... because i do

  • Agreed. Then they solidified their musical status with Amnesiac. In fact, I feel they have surpassed The Beatles on all levels.

  • amen

    the beatles are gay

    just cuz ppl copy them doesnt make them great

    people copy jay z...

  • Jay Z is the best rapper, The Beatles are the best rock group.

  • LOLOLOL

    jay z, best rapper?!?!?!??!?!

    eazy is a million times better in a heartbeat

    so is biz markie

    and tupac

    and all of nwa

    and digital underground

    and the beatles blow

  • the beatles are not the 'Best' rock group,, many bands radiohead included have far more musical talent then the beatles.

  • @icebud Radiohead have not changed the mainstream enough. I am one of the biggest radiohead fans you will meet, but the beatles defined the 60's. I can't say radiohead have done the same for the 90's or 00's.

  • Not yet they haven't. Which underlines my point that much more. Their music is so ahead of our time that the 'mainstream' world has a lot of catching up to do. You say The Beatles defined the '60's. Well, I feel Radiohead defined the meaning of music and art. The constantly begged the question "what is art". Besides, I hope Radiohead doesn't become too mainstream. Like Alec Foege said "Art in the traditional sense, is difficult, deep, for a rarefied few; pop music is frivolous, easy, pointless"

  • the beatles took music and sucked the emotion out of it, made it so poppy and fun and happy and a novelty, radiohead put the emotion back, and soon for the sake of everything that is holy on this earth, i hope mainstream music, or music at all can learn from radiohead and get it back as well.

  • they are the two strongest bands ever.

  • @MIKEDURSTEWITZ

    NOT true. RCHP. RATM. Hell even Funeral For a Friend to name a few

  • @MIKEDURSTEWITZ

    In what way?

  • @twooffour They took the kids who liked Creep and Karma Police jazz music and Electronic music and Post-Rock.

    If it wasn't for Kid A i would probably be some tragedy and listen to Katy Perry like the rest of my high-school peers.

    Instead, I brood in my room while listening to Joy Division, Sigur Ros, Aphex Twin, Charles Mingus, Boards of Canada and, of course, Radiohead

    To make it simple, it was like a gateway drug into so much other music

  • @MIKEDURSTEWITZ

    Hm, I was rather asking how exactly they pushed the boundaries of pop music and what makes them stand out among other bands, as I'm quite uninformed in this area of music.

  • @twooffour I'm sorry, i misinterpreted you question. This was number 1 in the US as soon as it came out (which may have just been out of anticipation but still). The album was a smash. With it, Radiohead came a Post-Rock-ish band. I mean, of course Brittaney Spears didn't start doing shitty renditions of In Limbo, but this was quite a big deal as far as pop music goes. It was "considered one of the most challenging records to have commercial success"

  • @MIKEDURSTEWITZ

    I thought your original comment referred to the music, not the commercial success?

  • @MIKEDURSTEWITZ try liars

  • @MIKEDURSTEWITZ Nirvana?

  • @MIKEDURSTEWITZ muse?

  • @Fortr0y no, NOT muse

  • @MIKEDURSTEWITZ what about what bands like deftones have done with metal? and cursive with indie rock/post punk? radiohead are just the most mainstream band to do it.

  • @pugfuglychris Yes, that's what i meant. It's popular music that redefined what could be popular

  • @pugfuglychris

    well he did say pushed the boundaries of "POPULAR MUSIC".. umm.. soo what are you getting at?

  • @MIKEDURSTEWITZ agree.

  • @MIKEDURSTEWITZ ...Phish

  • @MIKEDURSTEWITZ that's right Oasis always say they are doing it but never do it but Radiohead have pushed the boundaries of popular music and changed what it could be.

    No other group today has done that

  • @MIKEDURSTEWITZ yeah they've really evolved too.

  • @MIKEDURSTEWITZ what about the beatles?

  • @chawan92 lol

  • @MIKEDURSTEWITZ The only band you could really say has did that besides the beatles and radiohead is pinkfloyd. The rest of the bands that do this aren't very popular thats why it's so amazing that radiohead and pinkfloyd are as popular as they are with the risk they have taken. I think radiohead is easily the most talented and creative band of my gerneration.

  • @radiohead1993111 T O O L

  • @radioheadkids2  yeah tool. Ok I mean their are alot of popular bands that are good but most of them aren't radio friendly.

  • thom is getting shot by like a thousand machine guns:

    1:40 to 1:43

  • I am the only one who gasped out loud at Thoms shirt?

    Never would have guessed :p

  • Dancing Thom. Doesn't get better than this,

  • Love this band,song and how they move on stage;awesome:)

  • I find just the rhythm alone spellbinding. How do they do it.

  • yay for thoms atari shirt!

  • The Great Radio Head.

  • genius song man !!

  • genius song man!!!
