Radiohead - Electioneering live (Jay Leno)

[majhamza]

i don't realy like the look of thom's eyes it seems like this performance is from that period you know

[reydiyohed]

i'll never understand the reason for promoting ok computer with electioneering on this show.

[omardipset]

@reydiyohed american audiences...

[reydiyohed]

@omardipset true, true.

[Nirvaaanaa]

@reydiyohed why not...?

[TKOblue]

I like to think that Johnny was aggravated by something before the show and had to take it all out in this performance.

[blizzfool]

ah who was the conan guest??

[hottcuppajoe]

...but no one could have predicted the tragic casualties resulting from the performance, as thousands of minds were blown across the nation.

[PMACfourtyone]

best rock album of the year? how about best album of the Millenium?

[sirenox2]

@PMACfourtyone he said era not year.

[AlienRadioSignal]

when jonny get's a hold of the guitar she let's him do whatever he wants

[smitty010493]

radiohead just comes in and rocks the fucking house, awesome

[TheMostModestPerson]

Don't try to play as good as Jonny, you'll just waste your time.

[MrMagneticfields]

man greenwood is god!!!

[jackwearing]

Ed looks so young!

[GeoMcEvan]

@jackwearing Thom himself however appears to age backward in looks

[rflint89]

Jonny's hands must be two giant calluses. Feel free to make a wanking joke.

[Italynine2]

2:33 FURIOUS!

[myuesrnameisbad]

"Riot shields, vodoo econimics", what does that remind you of?

[reckonertime]

JONNY GREENWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

[TKOblue]

Pretty sure any sort of genitals got moist in the audience when they were introduced to Johnny fucking Greenwood.

[firebird234569]

was that conan o'brien "arfing" at the end?

[sugizo88]

How can I play like Jonny?? He's soloing mad without sounding "bluesy".

What scale is he playing?

[maxsmouha]

@sugizo88 i don't think he's playing a scale, he's just playing a melody. i don't have any real music theory knowledge so my guitar playing sounds really similar.

[solargesture]

@sugizo88 figure it out by ear, trust me, you'll be better for it. regardless, its a harmonic minor scale which is never used in blues

[Unnamed0909]

underrated song.

[iClubMidgets]

Turn it down a few notches there Johnny.

[okcomputeA]

dude they fucking rock any band out there. Amazing!!!!!

[anticsgmr94]

I sure wouldn't kick Jonny out of bed. No homo.

[PochoProfeta145]

I fell in love with Jonny *-*

[PlanetAirsoftPlym]

wow thom wat happened at 2:32 !

[MegaShakshuka]

Thom is getting hotter and hotter with age

[qazo]

haha I like how Thom jumps

[YoshimizRobots]

Wow

[ztikmaen]

The only person that doesn't seem so different nowadays is Jonny lol

[R3fini]

Greenwood was a bit unleashed that night...F***k!

[cordell2311]

this is incredible

[Lews026]

Fucking hell, that guitar desperately needs reverb what guitar tech did Johnny have back then, it sounds awful.

[gerry2114]

Jonny makes that guitar his bitch

[StillLifeWithMangoes]

Jonny Greenwood and the Radioheads...

love it :D

[beatberry]

riot shields! vodoo economics! hell fucking yeah

[lyndonrules]

when'd they get billy corgan on drums? :p

[Kamatzu]

I was the 100th like. Suck my two inch rubber cock.

It's too bad Electioneering is stranded on OK Computer, it hardly gets any attention because it's surrounded by such sonic masterpieces. It would have done well on Hail to the Thief or been an awesome B-Side. Great riff. Sleep well, Electioneering.

[dead0piggy]

How did Jonny get the effect at 3:31?

Thanks.

[thegyzmkid]

@dead0piggy

He has a killswitch on his Telecaster.

[zmoney682]

I'd go gay for Johnny. He has such a fucking unique technique. I'm a bassist, and he inspires me. That says a lot.

[GramKrakerJG]

One of the first songs that got me into Radiohead.

[TheRollingSteeze]

Thom Yorke one..no no.the best singer of our horrible music era!!

musically Genius

[EVILSTACK]

@TheRollingSteeze Thom Yorke the singer of horrible music. Only kid-(A)ding there.

[joemunkey30]

I like 28,267 people.

I love 88 people.

[RussellThePumpkin]

Omg, this fucking rocks live.

[MrNesk04]

Thom´s strange eye xD

[aavindraa]

lol jay leno got british tourettes at the beginning

[jackodellmusic]

The whole mix is horrible! D= Radiohead are still awesome though!

[Abgulu]

rhythm guitar is too quiet

[platolol]

@Abgulu it could be the youtube translation, but you're right

[palmalal]

Jonny Greenwoods guitar playin is f'ing insane...what a band!!

[AnIntangibleBadge]

YESTERDAY IS HERE.

[Dunl12496j]

HAHAHA! best band ever but lol @2:31

[karrilho]

thom yorke actually hates for people to call radiohead rock ...... i do too

[babaoriley8]

@karrilho i suppose you would just call it music. fuck genres!

[alex93metallica]

if you're watching this, you have good taste

[Grejfrut]

love this aggressive jonny's guitar

[locustskater]

Lowl...Ed's shimmy at 3:22

[rhodas1980]

the best album

[MIKEDURSTEWITZ]

It's funny.

This is probably my least favorite song from OK Computer, but i still LOVE IT! Just shows how good this damn band is :D

[LuisDivision]

@MIKEDURSTEWITZ i think the same

[katoness]

Fifty years a head of their time!!

[ronnyim12345]

WTF i can't here the cowbell. needs more of it.

[dadada18244]

Does anyone knows which effect is Jonny using???? ^^

[TheBensont123]

@dadada18244 If you're talking about the distortion, he uses a Marshall ShredMaster for that really crunchy distortion. But if you mean the little cutoffs he does during songs, thats his guitar, it's a Telecaster Plus, it has a kill switch. thats the only two things he really uses here. XD

[wbsMullet]

Who would have thought ten years later this song would have so much relevance.

[kkoolook]

Riot shields, voodoo economics,

it's just business, cattle prods and the I.M.F.

[gon2bed]

Love this version, My favourite band :D

[sabenospruz]

PezzoNeeeee____

[2231984]

Thom in time 1:28 - so sexy!

[misslunettes35]

@2231984 Totally agree!!

[HeadLikeElephantHead]

I think they turned Leno's hair a shade grayer.

[phaedrus1979]

this is a wild guess servo1056, but i have a feeling u use words like epic and legend and genius a lot

[servo1056]

not really...no...

[phaedrus1979]

@ffm1138, i didnt say he wasnt as tecnically capable as me, just that he doesnt choose to play that way, also everybdy is a "nobody" until they become famous, radiohead were too, that jusyt highlights your boorish attitude, im a big radiohead fan, but isnt genius bandied about too much these days? halfwit

[servo1056]

@phaedrus1979 since you say that what jonny is playing on electioneering is not "technically challenging"could you please upload a video of you playing the song on guitar???please?

[phaedrus1979]

Servo, im expressing an opinion, not trying to prove some macho point, apparently, thats the point of threads, do u want me to upload a video of me playing wonderwall too to prove its not difficult?

[servo1056]

well...you expessed your opinion in a "factual"manner and i wasnt asking to do anything "macho"i just was wondering if you were going to back up your "opinion"no problem.

[servo1056]

why would i want you to upload a video of you playing "wonderwall"?honestly....why in the world would anybody want anybody to upload a video of them playing "wonderwall"????

[TheRob5]

Hearing Jay Leno refer to Radiohead as "lads" because theyre english makes me want to punch something.

[jumeau1]

@TheRob5 ha. and he says it twice just in case they didn't hear it.

[phaedrus1979]

@ P2ka47, your snubbing bands for writing about sex? thats been the main theme of rock for about umm 40 years?The stuff johnny is playing on this song is a piece of piss, hes creative but ive never heard him play anything technically challenging, still radiohead are great!

[platinumdynamite]

@phaedrus1979 Surely being a great guitarist isn't all about technically challenging pieces? It's about originality and innovation, and Jonny shines through as one of the most distinct and unique guitarists out there.

[phaedrus1979]

It isnt all about that, you are absolutely right, then again, if yoyu remove technique, it just doesnt make sense, it would be like saying leonard cohen was a phenomenal singer

[JDuncanM1369]

@phaedrus1979

no. that's not like that at all. that was a terrible analogy.

[phaedrus1979]

wow, great contribution dude, not

[ffm1138]

@phaedrus1979 I love when nobody's like you get real hard talking about how a fuckin ROCK GENIUS like Greenwood isn't as technically skilled as you.

[MIKEDURSTEWITZ]

Johnny is one of the best guitarist in my opinion

[mahavishnu]

In fact, He is the best guitarist of the new era.

Ed 'Brien is the "atmosphere man" of Radiohead.

[kok3]

Why Thom is playing with his acoustic guitar instead of the electric one in this song? Anybody knows what happened?

[Ducklord444]

ususally he plays with his acoustic on tours like in glastonbury but for this song i dont know. Maybe to try something new?

[2n2equals5]

Johnny's guitar is incredibly loud in the mix in this. Must add to the pressure of playing on TV no end.

[tijodayew]

holy shit

[rdyohad14]

wow, great performance!

[SilverestFuel]

When I miss Jonny's guitar playing I just watch this video. It's a reminder of how great he is with the guitar and doing solos. Something we will probably never see again...unless Thom decides he misses the guitar which is highly unlikely.

[patluff]

Have you seen Jonny playing Bodysnatchers live? Hell in Morning Bell he does a great job of it, there there he is amazing. I don't know what your on about.

[SilverestFuel]

Yes, I've seen all of those but I'm obviously talking about guitar swagger that were mostly present in The Bends/Ok Computer era. Something Radiohead has shunned revisiting. Thom Yorke said it himself, didn't he? He's sick of guitars so they've evolved beyond that to the point it would be highly unlikely to hear full-out crunchy guitar swagger in any Radiohead records soon. Bodysnatchers and Bangers n Mash were the only full out slightly loud songs from In Rainbows. And Jigsaw was great too.

[patluff]

man he said he was bored guitars in one interview about 9/10 years ago, if httt was anything to go by he may of just been saying it so that people would be prepared for kid a/amnesiac.

[SilverestFuel]

If you're a long time Radiohead fan then you should know that Thom Yorke meant what he said about the guitars. He was awfully sick of them by 1998 that he wanted the next record to be devoid of guitars and much of his singing because it's what the critics loved most about them and OK Computer. Hence we got Warp label-inspired electronica records back to back. The return to a more rocking sound in HTTT was a welcome respite but it's still lacked that extra oomphed to me.

[2231984]

That Thom´s gesture with microphone in time 1:28 was incredibly sexy! Great song!

[johnny4297]

Jonny Greenwood you legend!

[15FifteenMusic]

I love how Jay tries to be British at the end. :D

[AleroR]

kerzhakov89, you got a beer on me.

[kerzhakov89]

Very well, expect a knock on your door very soon :D

[NearLestat]

Greenwood brotherhood

[matteo19]

wow.. the levels are awful.

[dcba123123]

Who's the idiot that mixed this? Practically all you can hear is the lead guitar and Thom's voice at the beginning, not to mention how overly compressed the whole mix is. Also hear 0:36, it's as if someone drops the volume of everything before Thom starts singing. They played so well, but it's like the engineer TRIED to make them sound bad. Bastard!

[SpartanHawk]

I actually like that you can hear Jonny's guitar just as much as Thoms voice. The way it should always be =P

[imp0cat]

Exactly, that's how it should be.

[15FifteenMusic]

I don't think he was TRYING to make them bad. But he is definitely an idiot.

[dsmann12]

And by bands I meant the bands each album refers to.

[dsmann12]

I like all those bands you mentioned, but I think Radiohead still surpasses them even today. Look at the chord complexities, time signatures, and use of instruments in their catalog. They have all these complications yet I can still get into at least 98% of their material. Playing their songs is more fun than many bands because of this. Just watch the video, I don't think any of those bands could have come up with this. It's in freaking 12/8!

[reCupcake]

damn, this is hot...

[justinorville]

Jonny Greenwood is my hero! Radiohead forever

[the1stbeaner]

I couldn't help but laugh xD 0:31-0:32

[DonRuidoso]

Mexico today the electioneering its everywere. election-day

[hendrix142536]

OK computer is the best album of the past 30 years

[hendrix142536]

Obviously normal arguing will not work with a dumbass such as yourself, so I'll break it down into something you can understand.

FUCK YOU FAGOOOT LOLOLFAFA

and for your information I've been a hendrix fan forever, as he is my favorite guitarist. I know all of his stuff.. hey, nice background on your profile.. your user name makes you out to be a 16 year old faggot.. gb2 gaia you twat

[RonaldvanHippel]

Oh my god... you're that stupid... I can't believe... Congratulations, that makes you very special!

[Stellsailor]

another pathetic troll with alot of free time.

[reCupcake]

wait WHAT LOL?! who the fuck is calling WHO the troll? ahahahahahahahaha

[pacoruls]

I didn't know that Radiohead fans were so racists and intolerants, i don't even care where you are, i wanna hear some music and your comment stop the flow, ignorant.

I hope ypu never realize who you are... una total decepción, ni siquiera por que tu idioma es el má fácil del mundo lo puedes escribir bien.

[Stellsailor]

joony greenwood is the fuckin dick.

radiohead should to use more the guitarist talent from joony like here or in paranoid android,just....

[hendrix142536]

shut your goddamn mouth what band is better than radiohead in this age of complete shit music???

fucking faggot

[Stellsailor]

haha whats yoru problem loser?

lol

radiohead is the best band since they appear.

and?hahaha

lretard

[hendrix142536]

Firstly, learn how to spell RETARD. Secondly, name an album in the past thirty years that is better or more defining than OK Computer was.

Faggot.

[SinuousSnake]

Bleach, Nevermind, Wave of Mutilation, Disintegration, The '59 Sound, Only By The Night, Oracular Spectacular, Songs For The Deaf, Broken Boy Soldier, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

Just to name a few. Radiohead were great, but they're not the only band that has put out good music.

[BloodyRose3000]

I love Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, and the Cure, but when it comes down to brilliance I honestly think Radiohead would win the award.

[apaboy50]

And thats YOUR opinion.

[P2ak47]

only by the night????

had to check it to be suret. only by the night. tut tut, what are u a 16/17 yr old girl? worst songs i've ever heard. would be sung by take that or westlife only for the word sex. wow u are dense.pixies yeh, nirvana obviously cant be disagreed. melon collie, outstanding and qotsa. but racontuers and fcukin kol?

[SinuousSnake]

@P2ak47 Hahahaha, your musical opinion is horrible. You listen to Foo Fighers. Enough said.

[tonvol5]

@SinuousSnake hey foo fighters are pretty good. nothing compared to radiohead. but they are good. don't be pretentious!

[tonvol5]

@SinuousSnake plus dave grohl doesn't look like an alien when he sings. although it doesn't really matter what thom looks like when you are him. if that makes sense...

[kellysoccer]

haha what if they played fitter happier

[xFaustArpx]

Ohmygosh. That is a terrifying song...

[xFaustArpx]

Fitter Happier, that is, not Electioneering. Electioneering is awesome, probably my favourite RH song.

[patluff]

I hope everyone knows they chose this song because it is the shortest song on the album. I think

[kellysoccer]

definitely not the reason they chose it

[patluff]

yes it is:). its american tv, last time they were on this they had to cut down high and dry

[negativearcade]

i wanna correct jay leno ovr there..its not one of the best album of the year..its one of the best albums of all time..

[Carfer22]

Jonny's killing it here!!!

Thom doesn't half look like that guy on Lost.

[mynmyself]

thom does look like ben linus (that guy on lost) in on live show of paranoid androir, i cant remeber exactly were it was, but is in a tv show as well...

[beliefactionnexus]

is he ever. jonny greenwood is the most underarted individual band member of all time. It's usually "Radiohead" or "Thom Yorke". this performance is for the ages...

[esliyo]

fuck!!! one of jonny greeenwood's best performances i've seen!!

[darkburnout00]

oh shit, i didn't know this was on Jay leno

I love this song

[canyoudigit3]

I think it is awesome that they didn't go with one of their "singles" from OK Computer like most late night acts do. Great audio quality; thanks for putting this on there.
