Radiohead - Paranoid Android (Live @ London 2003)

notes & quotes:

Jonny: "paranoid android is a minature-version of ok computer. It was the first song i put on a tape for friends to listen after recording the album, because it's a good introduction for the rest of the album. Paranoid Android should make you curious for the rest of the album".

Colin: "On Paranoid Android what we were into was the idea of a DJ Shadow meets The Beatles thing. It wasn't about constructing a classical rock edifice like Bohemian Rhapsody. It was more about taking things apart and sticking them together again to see if they made any sense, in the same way that DJ Shadow does and in the same way that The Beatles did on stuff like I Am The Walrus. Nigel Godrich, our engineer, just spliced the different sections together and it was all luck."

Thom: "it really started out as three separate songs and we didn't know what to do with them. Then we thought of 'Happiness is a warm gun' - which was obviously three different bits that John Lennon put together - and said 'Why don't we try that?'"

I would love it if there was some kind of interactive DVD put out of a concert, in which you could see a 'master' screen of every camera that rolling, and were able to view which one you'd want to watch, and switch between all of them. THAT's what i'm talkin about! :)

i think the camera work is an attempt at MTV to be 'arty', when in fact, it looks fuckin shite. ace performance though.

[Tommylad84t]

Awesome

[rydeeh11]

i think the camera work is rare and fits perfectly into the music. my opinion is that its pure awesomeness :)

[Ihrmuseey]

@snogger6 they actually have something like that on the muse website, i dont know if your a muse fan but check it out!

[FenixEven]

This is amazing. I'm trying to get this version downloaded to put in one of my videos. I'm sure no one knew I was a big radiohead fan, especially with the ok computer poster in my room.

I don't think there is a better live version of Paranoid Android to be found anywhere at all than this one.
