shut up.

i'm a massive radiohead fan and not a GB fan at all, but how is it insulting that he clearly recognises the quality of radioheads work enough to cover it himself, and has a bloody good go at making it his own, see the better quality version of him performing live.

For some bizarre reason the vocals in this live, bootleg recording aren't as crisp as those Radiohead professionally recorded in a studio...

[BradWest96]

Ah, that's crazy. I remember buying In Rainbows and The Odd Couple on the same day at the same place. Now they're united. Nice.

@trikkeren3 MGMT, Neil Young, Radiohead and Gnarls Barkley on the roster and music isn't the main thing? You're nuts!

[cartoonjune1]

its an opinion but i agree... radiohead is the most sonically transcending and artistic musical act to date(i think) but dnt sleep on gnarls: their music is epic and picture painting and cee-lo vocals can go from hell to heaven in a sec(give em a listen preferably thu head phones)

my bad mate gnarls barkley is a great band covering an even better band =)

[cartoonjune1]

and the reason is bizarre... its becuz this is a live bootleg version it could never sound as a studio version...

where are the music martians?

~nep~

[cartoonjune1]

gnarls barkley is the group...cee-lo is the singer... a lot of people forget about dangermouse but its cool tho...

Guess u never been at Roskilde Festival. Music is NOT the main thing. Socialize is far more important.

[westhofer8]

gnarls is a great guy covering an even better band

Lol at the random people talking and ignoring the performance. How could you not listen to such a beutiful song (LOVE RADIOHEAD)

Not hating on Gnarls Barkley,if anything I like em, but I would think if Radiohead was performing everyone would be under mind control(You know i would)

[vicprobey]

His voice sounds like some sort of honking bird in this song.....Gnarls Barkley is good at doing what they do but leave Radiohead to the pro's.
