EOB is always the one that makes that sound either musically or vocally that makes me lose my sh…. It’s always him within the brilliance of the others that hits the nuanced sound of ecstasy.
I think drummers would appreciate Radiohead a lot. It's not just the drum parts... all their instruments get pretty interesting with interweaving rhythms.
Hey, look at me, I'm Phil Selway, I repeat a beat for several minutes at a time without fills that I can use to put myself back in time if I start to slip
The lead singer, Thom Yorkes favorite song they ever did was How To Dissapear Completely. I would love too see you check that one out, its a beautiful song and Im sure youd enjoy it. :)
LOVE the slow build in intensity and the layering of the guitars: the arpeggiated guitar parts. Arpeggio is playing chords one note at a time in sequence like they were all doing. Listen to it a few more times. And the whole album is a masterpiece, listening to all the songs together. Oh BTW, that's an Electro-Voice EV-20 mic he's using. Yours has a similar build, but not the same, correct? The EV-20 is a classic mic that's been around a while. Used more for voice work, especially for male voices, but it's a good vocal mic too. It definitely works for Thom and he uses one quite a bit. Radiohead's earlier work is a little more simple, especially their first album, so I always recommend to people to listen to their songs in order because they grow a lot as a band from album to album, especially between The Bends (#2) and Kid A (#4). Those three albums are so different and they expand their range and palette a tremendous amount during that period. I've listened to tons of music, have shelves full of albums and CD's, been to tons of concerts, and have a room full of instruments - these guys and Yes are tied for my favorite artists of all time. There's a lot of awesome bands and artists tied for second place, but these guys and Yes are the best, in my opinion. Thanks for listening and sharing. Like hearing your insights as a musician and drummer especially, since I'm more a guitar and keyboard player, so your view is a nice complement to what I get out of things. Peace from SF PS - If you really want to be impressed by their range and creativity, listen offline to "15 Step" off this album, In Rainbows, then listen to this performance they did at the Grammy awards where they did a wildly different arrangement that rocked the house (I think you would REALLY appreciate the drum work!) ruclips.net/video/XgjWVIDN9rQ/видео.html
Radiohead is one of the most incredible bands of all time. Some people (old people) don't want to hear it. But they are amazing. Nothing sounds like them, nothing ever will. There is no such thing as a Radiohead impersonation band such as Wolfmother or Greta Van Fleet. You can't just recreate their sound.
He’s possibly the best singer in rock/alternative/whatever genre Radiohead belongs to in the last few decades. He specifically chooses emotion over perfection after Neil young suggested that to him. By all means we all have our opinions though, and that’s all good.
@@majorsev830 Jeff Buckley has a very distinctive voice and he gets props from me for covering a Genesis song off the "Lamb..." album, [fyi, "Back In N.Y.C"], he was a big fan of the band, as I recall, as well as Led Zeppelin. I won't argue about his voice being good, but Thom's is tops with me, lol!
@@cosmiccat6708 yep he covered it on sketches, his posthumous album. I'm a fan of both genesis and zep as well. I actually discovered Jeff through zep cos Jeff was apparently a big fan and was heavily influenced of led zep. The thing about him was that he was a great mimic. He had a great understanding of the human voice and he can imitate any vocal styles there is. I love listening to his live performances and live banters. There was one instance where he imitates Vedder and it was spot on! He probably had the most versatile voice in rock history. Vocal distortion, clean falsetto and head voice, well developed mixed voice, clean chest voice and he was able to glide through the ranges with ease. His work is a great study for singers and guitarists and songwriters alike.
the best song on the best album radiohead ever recorded. i WILL sub and like just cos of that drum intro. edit: AND you're watching the absolute best version available - that whole set from the basement is gold.
Awesome to see you continuing to check out Radiohead! This concert is Legendary. If you wan to hear an example of some of Thom's singing ability check out "Nude" From the Basement. Every song from this performance is amazing. Another good track to listen to is "Karma Police." Keep them coming! My first favorite musical act was Pink Floyd then I encountered SRV and he became everything to me. THEN, I finally heard Radiohead's 'magnus opus' album OK Computer and ever since - 1997 to now - they became and have stayed my favorite band on earth. Having followed your vids as you encountered Pink Floyd and Stevie, I just thought that might carry some weight for you with just how epic Radiohead is as a band and how deep and incredible their 9 album catalogue is.
Radiohead = 2+2=5 Thom is in the sweet spot in musical terms, same with Johnny; and now in the same project “the smile” ahhhhh, just perfect. Great video man!
The layering of instruments is breathtaking, also the crescendo in the end was stellar, they are definitely one of the best bands all time imo, such a multi deminsional (sp) song and the talent they possess is unmatched imo....
Lol Radio Head is on an other level bro, There one of those iconic bands who’s music does not fade like so many others this song has so many levels of music and emotions you don’t see very often.
Listen to the live version of "Creep" from the Glastonbury festival. See what this man can do with that voice. He does choose emotion over perfection, as someone else commented here, but I, personally, think he has a beautiful voice. To be fair, you've only just begun reacting to them, so maybe you need more of a listen, but I like your honesty. Your reaction was still positive but. I'm just such a fan that I'm like "What?!", lol and leaping to his defence.
For some, Thom's voice is an acquired taste. It took me some time (not too long) to truly grasp the greatness of his voice. I actually had a little debate with someone in college, around the time this album came out, who was arguing with me that Thom's voice is classically great. I still disagree with him, but I don't think that makes his voice any less beautiful. His voice is unconventional and that makes it all the more interesting to me, though, as I stated before, I had to warm up to it at first.
@@ijustneedmyself Absolutely. There are many artists I've taken time to warm to, so I understand what you mean. It's a fair comment. I was probably being a little too precious about it,
@@cosmiccat6708 Haha, no worries. I understand the instinct! I just wanted to tell my story as someone who came out the other side 😂 I think it'll grow on him and then he'll be like, "Why did I ever think it was weird?" A fair amount of the music I listen to is considered weird by others. I don't think it's weird at all. Admittedly there are some bands that I most definitely wondered "What the hell is this?" when I first heard it! Lol. Gotta love music. The discovery journey has been fun.
@@ijustneedmyself Cool. I myself, am a connoisseur of the weird, but wonderful. There's something for everyone out there, right!. And yes, I love music, both listening and creating! It's as important as breathing! lol.
Yea, Thom isnt a singer that can sing any kind of song you give him but he does what he does well. I think this is his best vocal arrangement as he loops the vocals. Give it a listen. ruclips.net/video/Z3klN8diaqw/видео.html
So stoked to see more and more checking out Radiohead. Pull up Before your very eyes from Atoms for Peace and Daydreaming from Moon Shaped Pool. And for some really old school High and Dry, Just, Bulletproof.
They’re lyrics are very abstract, for me I focus more on the mood of the song than the lyrics because the lyrics aren’t easily decipherable and I don’t think they’re intended to be.
Thom doesn't have perfect vocal technique but he knows how to make the most out of his voice. And he's got his own style and approach which makes him unique from other singers.
In Rainbows is their best album IMO.. Every track!.. In their vast library check out: There There.. My Iron Lung.. Let Down.. Paranoid Android #Reckoner
Yeah totally agree with Thom’s voice; it’s kind of the way Neil Young Nobody would focus on his voice, it’s an acquired taste (though Thom’s voice is better) it’s still peculiar and perfect for their sound. Some of My favorite singers are the strange ones, it’s the songwriting that is brilliant and the chord progressions and use of scales by Jonny. RadioHead is amazing. Ever heard Elliot Smith? Brilliant songwriter not Whitney on vocals but perfect for his music. It’s funny perfect singers can’t perform those kinds of songs and sound right. They are written around the haunting voice
This whole song is perfect, but those haunting background vocals by Ed O’Brien gives me chills.
I luv ❤️ Ed's HAUNTING vocals also 😍
EOB is always the one that makes that sound either musically or vocally that makes me lose my sh…. It’s always him within the brilliance of the others that hits the nuanced sound of ecstasy.
EEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDD
Eeeeeeeddddddddd....... 😭😭😭
So simple but effective

Hey, look at me, I'm Phil Selway, I repeat a beat for several minutes at a time without fills that I can use to put myself back in time if I start to slip
@@ExileOnDaytonStreet lol. He fits the song, never overdoes it but with occasional flourishes. Pyramid song drums are really something.
@@halfalligator6518 this dude is an idiot lol, doesn’t understand that drumming isn’t just about making crazy beats
Their 2nd live from the basement "king of limbs" is great with the drumming and layering of instrumentation.
ruclips.net/video/hI5YMDioDBY/видео.html this one.
This is an outstanding track period!!!!!
epic
The lead singer, Thom Yorkes favorite song they ever did was How To Dissapear Completely. I would love too see you check that one out, its a beautiful song and Im sure youd enjoy it. :)
That song will rip your soul out.
@@serfillustrated4018 too many times loll
You're taking him to a place where a part of him is never coming back.

You can't just recreate their sound.
They can't get over their Beatles obsession.
@@blikjekattenvoer Not there mate. Beatles?? You mean oasis.
They are our generations Pink Floyd
Phil Selway is one of the greatest and under appreciated drummers of all time. Off kilter rythums and immense power. The guys breathtaking.
I’m so glad you watched this especially in the context of them playing live in the studio.
It took me a year to get into it...the full album that is,then BAAAAM!!
Same
It's so next level that it took me a while to wrap my mind around it.
True sonic art

By all means we all have our opinions though, and that’s all good.
Agree 100%. His voice is an instrument and boy, can he emote! Love his voice.
Jeff Buckley was the best but Thom sure is great

I will recommend Conor Mason from Nothing But Thieves...
Great one man. More Radiohead is wise. This band comes from the future.
Wow.. Do i love this.. Your face when the drummer started.. Classic
the best song on the best album radiohead ever recorded. i WILL sub and like just cos of that drum intro. edit: AND you're watching the absolute best version available - that whole set from the basement is gold.
I come back to this performance on a regular basis. Such a great experience!
I was just listening to this a few days ago. Never seen
this song performed live. Those guitars are insane!
Love Love Thom Yorke Unique voice,
I listen to there music everyday

Amazing song from an amazing band!
The polyrhythms going between the 3 guitar parts is bonkers...
Another level genius here. Only a few can take us somewhere else.
Radiohead = 2+2=5 Thom is in the sweet spot in musical terms, same with Johnny; and now in the same project “the smile” ahhhhh, just perfect. Great video man!
As a drummer myself, my fav Radiohead song. grips me all the way. thx
"Sulk" by Radiohead show's what a great vocalist Thom Yorke is!
My favorite version of this song! Just found your channel today. Good stuff.
Radiohead is my complete group, from my teenage year from now on. This group have unity
Please react to Jigsaw falling Into Place! It's from the same album as this song and the best album off all time IMO
The layering of instruments is breathtaking, also the crescendo in the end was stellar, they are definitely one of the best bands all time imo, such a multi deminsional (sp) song and the talent they possess is unmatched imo....
Quality.
You should check out his solo project Eraser. And Atoms for peace. Their live shows like Radiohead are immense. Bless
Lol Radio Head is on an other level bro, There one of those iconic bands who’s music does not fade like so many others this song has so many levels of music and emotions you don’t see very often.
Great song.
Should have done the studio version of this song. It’s a incredible
great words man ! ...
....Radiohead till I die ®👻...

simply sublime
I can see this track downloading itself into your psyche Bro..........Lol......Love from Scotland
i grew up listening to Radiohead. I really love their songs. Especially this one
Airbag, Blowout, Exit music , High and dry, Subteranean homesick .
Their best song
Yea, Thom isnt a singer that can sing any kind of song you give him but he does what he does well. I think this is his best vocal arrangement as he loops the vocals. Give it a listen. ruclips.net/video/Z3klN8diaqw/видео.html

Wonderful intro to Phil for any drummers checking em out.
Lianne La havas version of this "weird fishes" is absolutely ridiculous. She took it too another level. This version is great though!
They’re lyrics are very abstract, for me I focus more on the mood of the song than the lyrics because the lyrics aren’t easily decipherable and I don’t think they’re intended to be.
King Of Limbs is awesome!!!
A fascinating observation and appreciated.
Tremendous song Chod. Loved it.
You're perfectly right about Thom's voice. Never pretended to have the better voice or whatever. But he got the soul and the melodies.
thom has a great voice , just listening reckoner or nude
@@josephk8469 And the track "Sulk"!
Thom doesn't have perfect vocal technique but he knows how to make the most out of his voice. And he's got his own style and approach which makes him unique from other singers.
I think you'd really appreciate '15 Step' off this same Grammy winning LP. Insane drumming. Congrats on 40K!
In Rainbows is their best album IMO.. Every track!.. In their vast library check out: There There.. My Iron Lung.. Let Down.. Paranoid Android #Reckoner
YES YES YES.
The second word is the plural of arpeggio
Listen to Nude, then we'll talk about his singing ability.
Try Ful Stop by Radiohead..
They do punk So So well.
More Radiohead please
We are weird fishes...It's evolution.
That's what a human voice sounds like. I personally have no interest in listening to people who sound like robots or machines.
Man you gotta listen to "Nude" also "from the basement" his vocals are outstanding on that, mesmerising.
I mean, really.
its a masterpiece
Lianne La Havas' cover of this song is perfection. Find it.
I disagree. I think he has a phenomenal voice
I bet its hard to play there stuff very unique band loved it aloha ps play budgie turn to stone in further kill
Top tier genius.
Yeah totally agree with Thom’s voice; it’s kind of the way Neil Young Nobody would focus on his voice, it’s an acquired taste (though Thom’s voice is better) it’s still peculiar and perfect for their sound.

1:13 - 1:14 realises he is about to embark on a journey
15 step - live at the Grammys
Street spirit - music video
Good observation on Thom Yorke's voice Chod. Some of the greatest singers in rock history didn't have great voices.
So it’s not your first time hearing Radiohead. It’s first time hearing Weird Fishes - Radiohead.
Can you react to Jd Beck and Domi, trust me youre going to love it
Bruh, you gotta react to "Zoom Club" by BUDGIE
lotus flower (also in the Basement) would be a choice you wouldn't regret
I'll get eaten by the worms 🐛🐛🐛
can you do a reaction to Workin Hard Playin Hard by Ted Nugent
Ted Nugent is a racist.
You lost me at “he doesn’t have the greatest vocals…” cause ya wrong. Wrong!
Scotchmist version is just a little bit better...
