Radiohead - Meeting People Is Easy [10/10]

Director: Grant Gee

Following the British rock band Radiohead on their exhaustive world tour (after the success of their 1997 album "OK COMPUTER"), the film is a collage of video clips, sound bites, and dialogue going behind the scenes with the band as they travel the world. It show us the eventual burn-out of the group as their world tour progresses.

The world tour that is the subject of Meeting People Is Easy has subsequently been admitted as a low point for the band, specifically Thom Yorke, who had a near-breakdown. This would form the background of Radiohead's recording sessions beginning in 1999 for their next albums Kid A and Amnesiac, inspiring a different songwriting and recording style and the band's changed sound after OK Computer.

Thom Yorke, lead singer of Radiohead claims that Meeting People Is Easy is a 94-minute message to any younger bands who might envy Radiohead's high-flying lifestyle. And that message is: "Don't even think about it."

It must suck for Radiohead, seeing as they probably find no pleasure in listening to their own music.

It's day in day out man, it's hard, nowhere near as easy as you're making out.

@treefingers68 Eloquently put, Radiohead are indeed "douches". I'm glad we agree.

[treefingers68]

@AndPlus Yeah definitely being world famous and being expected to spew brilliant knowledge to strangers all day long while on camera every day with no days off and a show every night late into the night while touring and being separated from all friends and family for months on end all while having to deal with a whole new jetlag experience every 3 weeks is easy. Radiohead are such douches.
