Radiohead - Meeting People Is Easy [3/10]

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."

trolling on Radiohead, you play a dangerous game sir!

[spearmintRhino1997]

i think ed is just thom's bitch who does everything for him.fuck thom

[SuperElectric96]

@4TheMus1c I think by "I don't want to put you out", Thom sarcastically meant "I don't want to overwork/exhaust you". "That put me out" or "You look put out" is an expression in England for losing your energy. The guy mustn't have been doing his job very well.

@ewanmakesfilms Whats your problem man? No im not 16. People go on the internet because they like to talk about things they like or that interests them, whats wrong with that? You dont have to know everyone on the internet that you talk to. Where do you get off anyway? Keep your pretentious statements to yourself you arrogant prick.

@4TheMus1c are you people 16? you don't know each other and you don't know thom. go and make some real friends and stop getting upset about the opinions of strangers about strangers.

hey I kinda got the jist of what happened with that guy calling thom a dickhead, and yes I agree that guy is rude for calling thom a dickhead. But can someone please explain to me what thom meant by saying "sorry I dont want to put you out' ? With my american mindset, my interpretation of it was "sorry i dont want to kick your ass" or "i dont want to lay you out". Or does thom actually mean something completely different?

@dan564891 if only we knew who the guy was. that drives me insane. people who say that to anyone really ticks me off, but when they say it to Thom, one of my idols, it drives me fucking mad
