  • 8 people can't play guitar

  • I can't play guitar...

  • Destiny, hold my hand and protect me from the world. This such an ironic and powerful line. So many believe that they have a destiny to be great and nothing can stop them, they turn to destiny and ask to be protected from the world, the hardships, the troubles and what not. Destiny cannot protect you, brah. You make your own destiny.

  • JUSTIN BEIBER CANT PLAY GUITAR!!! Alternative Rock FTW!!!

  • anyone can PLAY guitar, whether the sound is discernible as music or crap is for you to decide.

  • @liligman gree

  • exactly 'anyone can play guitar' :3

  • i can agree

  • 7 personas no saben tocar guitarra xD

  • Sure anyone can play guitar, but no one can play guitar like Johnny Greenwood :P

  • your mom cant play guitar.

  • The guitar in this is immense! Fuck yeaah! Really makes you wanna play guitar haha XD

  • lil wayne cant play guitar

  • penis

  • I hope they go back to paying like this someday once thom gets his head out of his arse

  • Dude the bassline sounds waaaay too familiar, it's reminding me of a song by The Smiths but i cant remember which one.

  • @jirdimaster if it reminds you of the smiths its probably a smith bassline. thom is obsessed with the smiths

  • @SugeBradley I agree, still can't remember which one though.

  • @jirdimaster because they rip off people songs like all day, this one is also a rip off of Aurora Borealis by meat puppets. They can't just be original they always have to bit other peoplke rhymes so to speak

  • @broadcastmyass4u That's where you're wrong, they might have done so a few times in the early part of their but i am quite familiar with Radiohead's work, i can play just about any one of their songs on guitar and recite both the lyrics and the chords from memory and i can tell you right now you wont find a more original band.

  • @jirdimaster mean, theyre ok, but they aren't top notch, in my opinion. As far as original

  • @broadcastmyass4u How much have u actually learned about the music itself, as far as composition and theory goes?

  • @jirdimaster enough to know that ripping other artists isn't very original

  • @broadcastmyass4u So absolutely nothing lol are you going to give me some examples or just keep making hollow statements?

  • @broadcastmyass4u Correction: they weren't original. They've been pretty fuckin original for the past 16 or so years.

  • @OnlyVideoGuyOnEarth uh, if you say so

  • stephen hawkin can't play guitar

  • @upyourtits so?...compared to him...u r useless for the humanity

  • @RHCPTABOO so... anyone CAN'T play guitar, can they?

  • @upyourtits LOL!!!!!

  • HEY!!! If we burn the London, we can see thom on the beach ^ ^

  • TKoL is and always will be for faggots.

  • @rockyrigby Wow... aren't you an obnoxious little faggot?

  • @Kainlarsen Wouldn't that contradict my statement?

  • @rockyrigby No, that would be you.

  • @Kainlarsen That implies I enjoyed TKoL; I didn't.

  • @rockyrigby No, I mean that you're the contradiction.

  • @Kainlarsen That's funny, cause that'd mean I'm a faggot!

  • @rockyrigby He gets it! BRAVO!!

  • @Kainlarsen I'm a faggot, you're a faggot, we're all faggoty faggots!

  • @rockyrigby Fabulous!

  • Guess he'll be standing on the beach right now with his guitar.

  • once i had a conversation with a "radiohead fan" and i told her, i love this song, and she chastised me...can anyone explain why? i know they have deeper songs, but this is like raw and just i don't know....it just gets me, i've listened to A LOT of radiohead...but why did she talk down on me for loving this song?

  • @banklikefrankwhite1 Because the lyrics are about all the people who want to be a rockstar. But making great music isn't their goal, they just want to be famous (and make money). Jim Morisson was a just a poet before he became incredibly famous because of his good looks (and music of course). This song makes fun of all the people who take the lyrics seriously.

  • @dutchmaster016 i'm sorry, which comment were you responding to exactly?

  • I love their first couple guitar driven albums.

  • TKoL is shit.

  • live video of this song just blows my mind

  • Destiny, destiny protect me from the world...

  • radiohead's first good song

  • YAAA... except for limbless children of course... or parapelegics... or people with Parkinsons.

  • chingada madre!!! esta rola esta pkm!!!! d huevos!!! radiohead rules!!!!

  • @933Bane You're saying that not everyone in the world can, but anyone can. So the reason some people can't/don't is because there are enough guitar players in existence, otherwise everyone would.

  • Back then.. Yorke didn't had us scratching our heads to find out what he meant in his lyrics. He was great then too! If he wrote that today we would struggle to find out what "guitar" truly meant. Well, sometimes, some thing are just in front of our fucking face and we don't choose to see them. I don't know if that made any sense.. All I know is that I can't play a guitar!!! I will learn someday!

  • yeah totally, anyone CAN play guitar, it just takes a little bit of dedication, but you can get results in only a few weeks. just TRY!

  • @josephmarshall thats the freakin truth... ive played acoustic for 4 years now (i did good but far from extraordinary) and i just bought myself an electric one... i always thoutg that Greenwood was a prodige and when i saw my friends who was playing for years i was kind of (wow how could i play like this one day?!?)... but f**k in only two week i am sooo amazed by what i have accomplished (e.g. in two day i learned lead of electioneering)

  • @josephmarshall thats the freakin truth... ive played acoustic for 4 years now (i did good but far from extraordinary) and i just bought myself an electric one... i always thoutg that Greenwood was a prodige and when i saw my friends who was playing for years i was kind of (wow how could i play like this one day?!?)... but f**k in only two week i am sooo amazed by what i have accomplished (e.g. in two day i learned lead of electioneering)

    Anybody can play guitar with dedication.

  • @R3fini the real talent isn't if you can play what others came up with in the first place... that's just parrot work. The real talent is coming up with quality stuff yourself.

  • @Animatronica i was not talking all about playing tabs on the internet...improvisation its about learning more and more theory: key, scale, chord etc....music is systematic and dont cnange...

  • @Animatronica i was not talking all about playing tabs on the internet...improvisation its about learning more and more theory: key, scale, chord etc....music is systematic and dont cnange... i say what is the difference between a us and prodiges like greenwood, Pettrucci, satrianni and more? Knowledge and practice...

  • @R3fini You're deluded. Music is only partially made out of theory. The big bulk is a shitload of feel and expression. Notes on a paper won't teach you that.

  • @Animatronica even the feel and expression you talk about is based on theory...there are different choices on where to go, and you can pick the one that sounds most like "feel" to you, but it is all based in theory.

    the guy was right...it is systematic, and it doesn't change...it's been that way since the beginning of time. even if the player doesn't consciously know theory, sub-consciously he does. or else it would sound like crap

  • @R3fini thats wrong. you dont need to learn alot of theory to compose something great. hendrix didnt know theory at all.

  • @unclesamfatg

    Are you sure about that? I thought Hendrix knew theory. Even if he didn't, it's a great thing to have under your belt; but it's also dangerous if you rely entirely on it. Otherwise, you will end up like a totally cold shredder, no emotion. In other words, I agree with both sentiments. You should listen to John Frusciante talk about theory sometimes, because he can explain what I'm trying to say far better than I can, lol.

  • @mussman717word dude, don't listen to him..hendrix was a student of music..he absolutely knew theory, anyone saying he didn't is saying that because it would make them feel better, because they don't know theory themselves....jimi was a student of the game, period...please don't buy that bull shit

  • @banklikefrankwhite1

    I know he did, I was just being obnoxiously respectful to the other guy, lol.

  • @mussman717word hahaha nice

  • @unclesamfatg what? why are you spreading ignorance? he most certainly did...his life's work was to learn everything about music, ever...he certainly did know theory, and if you seriously believe otherwise, some kid told you that some time and you ran with it

  • collin greenwood wuld be a better bass player if he experimented with some pedals.

  • Giving hope to all goofy bastards since the dawn of time.

  • @Monumentum616 hope? we're all doomed including yourself. Rock on with your random comments, no one appreciated that.

  • I can't :l

  • Not everyone can play guitar like Johnny Greenwood or Johnny Marr....LEGENDARY GUITAR PLAYERS!!

  • I play bass guitar and drums, i feel like guitar is more relaxing and i can spend hours playing it, bass man thats something else, that gets me pumped up, gets me in my groove, and drums well i just beat the shit out of them and sounds good :P

  • really don't get why these morons insist on arguing about other bands.

  • i play drums, bass, guitar and keyboard......bass is easiest to start off with, but the hardest to make sound good, keyboard is in the middling, drums, well that just comes naturally to me :P the song sais the rest i think :)

  • I do like chicken !

  • Anyone can play guitar? Not like Johnny.

  • 4 people can't play guitar

  • @airwalkcrazy360 6 already now OH MY GOD !! :D

  • I believe anyone can play guitar,but not everyone can play guitar.D'you know what I mean? ;)

  • "Destiny, hold my hand and protect me from the world"

  • I actually think the song is a satirical take on the Rock 'N' Roll life style. I wanna be a wanna be Jim Morrison.

  • i wanna be Jim Morrison

  • i'm hearing

  • the title is totally true.

    guitar's the easiest instrument to learn to play,

    but nearly impossible to master.

    just love this song

  • @envy875 You know I never took it to mean 'playing the guitar is easy' as much as, like, anyone can learn to do anything, but if you learn to play guitar 'you won't be a nothing anymore'.

    Always sounded like an ode to something he loves, and at the end of everything he'll be playing it on a beach somewhere watching it fall (or in a band in heaven)... but, y'know.. I'm not Thom Yorke and I've not asked him... and this is YouTube, so there's a good chance I'm talking shit. :)

  • @envy875

    you're wrong, guitar and piano are the hardest instruments to learn to play

  • @AmigoFiell Having played plenty of instruments, I can assure you that basic piano is ridiculously easy to pick up, and basic guitar isn't much harder. Mastery in anything is very difficult to compare, but as far as basic skills go, they're both fairly easy. Violin, shakuhachi, theremin, xylophone, bagpipe... not so easy. Definitely much harder than guitar or piano.

  • @Kojak7snap

    i see....

  • Bass line is epic.

  • has anyone seen the official music video of this song?

  • @takovarra yup, i got it on DVD :D

  • The title of this song is very true, guitar is actually very easy to learn, if you have the patience and the will.

  • i love radiohead!!! yeah more more

  • i dunno about guitar.....but i play bass!!! :D

  • cool song

  • i can play guitar :)

  • i can play bass!

  • I doubt if he will ever will look like Jim Morrison, even with longer hair.

  • Mutalate my nose, mutalate my nose I wanna be Michael Jackson.

  • Grow my beard, grow my beard I wanna be Joe Cocker.

  • Thom kinda sounds like Billy Corgan.

  • @dmcfanatic12 Thom Yorke and Billy are gods of music

  • Anyone can play guitar, few people can play music

  • @Tr1ploid

    The whole premise of this song.

  • @Tr1ploid

    But seriously, this song is about the attention creep got. It just killed Thom. Giving him fame. "It was so fast, the fame", says Yorke. So, you know what he did right after the fame, he became a "rock star". Growing his hair, doing the stereotypical things rock stars do, you know, cliched things! Like, "Standing on the beach with my guitar".....etc....etc.

  • @aijunk2 lol no. this album was released the same time creep came out; before creep got it's fame.

    you're probably mixed up with my iron lung.

  • @XpwnGasmX

    Yeah, I know My Iron Lung was a response to Creep's success. I did get mixed up a bit, but I still believe Thom was being a little cocky here. I remember watching a interview where he said he wanted to live "the rock star life". I'm sure this is what this song is about. But then again, everyone has their own opinion on what the song is about.

  • @Tr1ploid well said my good man, I will hold my hand up and say I can play guitar, but can't play music to save my life haha

  • anyone can play guitar? yeah, right.

    anyone can try to play guitar. play guitar is like gilbert, vai, zappa...

  • @SofiaBelchiorinho Greenwood

  • @SofiaBelchiorinho Shut up you douche.

  • ill be standing on the beach with my guitar...EXEPT ME CUS I SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Sorta sounds like nirvana

  • @seizermanung i heard ear candles work really well

  • @seizermanun. Nope, the Beatles all the way.

  • @Boganator4 also a bit like nirvana.

  • @akatsukiandy. You're right. Has a Nirvana sorta vibe, but not grungy.

  • phil's drums fit SO perfectly! this album isn't great?bollocks..that's obviously not as innovative as the others, but man that's great!

  • the song sounds to me like radiohead was trying to imitate weezer. it could be the other way around though

  • @awesomearsenal probably the other way around, knowing weezer it was probably the other way, the intro is more nirvana - RFUS

  • I can play guitar but not like Jonny :)

  • Awesome song. And yes, anyone can play guitar! Maybe not right away, but anyone CAN play guitar.

  • if you cannot understand this song, you don't deserve to call yourself a music fan. sorry.

  • Thom's vocals in this remind me of Kid A

  • I can play Guitar...but I can't play like you ...Damn!

  • @VictorLooser Who?

  • I love the video for this, he does lots of impersonations of jim

  • Oh ho!.........the 90s xD

  • I love Radiohead but I think they kept getting better and better, therefore this would be the worst album.

  • LONDON BURNS!

  • @choclatesaltyballz this album is Pablo Honey asshole :S

  • im talking that pablo honey is better than that dogshit album called KID A you stupd bastard, whats your opinion

  • @choclatesaltyballz sorry i understand another thing , i agree with you

  • GOOD MAN

  • @choclatesaltyballz Lol Kid A was a good album

  • Everytime you feel down just play some guitar and you won't feel like a nothing anymore, it's true it's true :)

  • I WANNA BE WANNA BE WANNA BE.

  • 2:11 his voice goes so high that he had to make it down in the next sentence:D

  • "Grow my hair, I want to be, want to be, want to be Jim Morrison"

  • Destiny. Destiny protect me from the world.

  • I love how it transfers from pre-chorus to chorus in this song. The chorus is great in itself.

  • one word... EPIC!

  • nice bass

  • I can't fucking play a guitar...

  • @TheZuikaku That's what i said when i first listened to this song..about 3 years ago..now i play guitar :)

  • @TheZuikaku

    But in thom yorke´s heaven anyone can ..

  • @TheZuikaku It's easy, even an idiot like me can, so yeah, everyone vcan xD

  • @Elazam

    To play a guitar you have to, and correct me if I'm wrong, be able to play chords...Right? If you can't, you can't play guitar.

    I don't think the title is ment to be litarally

  • @TheZuikaku Nub.

  • @TheZuikaku jesuschrist....The man said ANYONEcanplayguitar!! Nomore pessimism! Youjustneedto pickupaguitar andplaylikeyoustoledit! dontworryaboutanythingelse man!! If Yorkepeppermint pattiesaidANYONEcanplayguitar thenthatmeansyou!yourglassofko­olaidisnotHaLf empty!! ItishAlFfuLLmyfriend!

  • @sheetmetalMirrors Experimenting with drugs?

  • @TheZuikaku Me Neither bro. XD

  • @TheZuikaku neither can the "Edge". That F bomb ruined the movie "It Might Get Loud in Here." If he wasn't in it, it would have been called "IT'S GONNA GET LOUD IN HERE MOTHER F*CKER!!!" Yet, he has succeeded to scratch his hands across a guitar with multiple effects to make it sound good. So I guess that proves that anyone can play a guitar.... As long as you have Bono shelling out mills to people around the world for no particular reason.... Hooray Beer! ???

  • @davidkzoo oh look! I found another U2 hater here! Wow its amazing how so many ppl hate U2... U FRIGGIN 2... just because they're so bloody fucking big and legendary. Ok lets see now... You hater lot aren't big and legendary... Bono, Edge and gang are big and legendary, are considered music's living legends, inducted into rock and roll hall of fame, inducted in every possible top-100 best artists list you could find... Hmmm... Who would I rather listen to? Ain't rocket science to figure out.

  • @5oulPower Barbara Streisand is "legendary" does that mean you're a fan of hers too? I just gave my opinion on U2. Just because they're a world wide "legendary" band doesn't mean that i have to like them. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I gave you mine, you gave me yours. Lets try and not lose and sleep over this.

  • @5oulPower I don't hate U2, I don't HATE their music, I just wish they would focus on music instead of always being on some stupid 'mission'.

  • @TheZuikaku Sure you can! :D

  • @TheZuikaku mean you noob

    lol

  • @TheZuikaku Yes, you can. You just think you can't. :P

    Try it ...

  • @TheZuikaku

    Yes you can. You just have to do it. Trust me. I am thirty and just stating out, never thought I could, but it is fucking awesome so far.

  • @TheZuikaku your comment got more likes than the video

  • @TheZuikaku It's fine, I think it might be sarcastic or symbolic.

  • @TheZuikaku  me too...

  • @TheZuikaku

    But when you get to heaven...

  • Simply amazing...

  • One of my favourites.

  • i love this song

    pls pls pls give me the MP3 file

    jonny looks really good looking in the photo aswell

  • good old read! Radiohead

  • this song is god.

  • i love it when the song suddenly becomes less noisy and the bass can be heard
