I’m not a Radiohead fan particularly but honestly, you’ve missed it completely.
Unsubscribed. These guys should stick with nursery rhymes.
Agreed. They're laughing at great art as if it's a pile of beetle dung.
Dave Grohl talking about this performance:
"Well I mean, this is a pivotal moment in not only Radiohead’s career but in the history of music, you know, when they made the ‘OK Computer’ record , I honestly felt like that was the beginning of some kind of revolution, musically.. and of course, as a live band... one of the greatest live band of all time.. performing a song that was challenging the audience to join them in this crazy revolution… and Paranoid Android live, it’s not exactly like the record. It’s better because it’s happening. And I really do feel like that record changed the landscape of popular music for years to come. But this particular performance, I remember watching it and thinking like “Oh my God, here we go again! It’s time for another revolution, great!”"
You beat me to it.
Yes
@@zogwort1522 music isn't about theatrics. Do you see theatrics in classical music (apart from opera which is genre in Itself).?
No.
@@zogwort1522 dull live? Are you deaf?? They are some of the best live sounding musicians of all time lol
@@zogwort1522 Hmm, nice rebuttal. However, your mother.
Strange reaction lads. I’m not a huge fan of Radiohead but this is a brilliant song
Radiohead are just fantastic, telling Radiohead fans you don't like it is like telling somebody their mum is ugly
I would say "turn off your radio and listen to some real music". 😉
@@oskarobit
To whom
@@DropdudeJohn to Radiohead, Queen, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Prince, Fleetwood Mac, Talking Heads... Jazz will not kill you. The list is long.
@@oskarobit
You lost me there sparky
@@oskarobit its disappointing how most people don't know any other genres outside of rap and pop.
I'm sure these two are lovely well-intentioned people, but that was like watching a pair of chimps encounter a Macbook and smash it to pieces with a stick because they don't know what it is.
lol that's perfect
The files are in the computer!
Don't put chimps down like that lmao
Perfect comment
Brilliant
Classic example of different cultures and not being brought up with the same music tree that we had. One of the best bands ever
Their reaction is totally understandable, it’s a dreadful song. Radiohead fans are so far up their own arses, it doesn’t matter where you come from, you like it or you don’t, and a lot of people don’t give a shit how good the lyrics are, if it sounds shit, it sounds shit. The fact that Creep is by far the most popular song they’ve performed, (quite rightly), says a lot as most Radiohead fans slag it off, mainly because Thom Yorke stopped liking it, I suspect…
@@45dda ok
@@45dda So if this sounds shit to you then what sounds good, may I ask? Modern pop music? Lol
but not Paul Weller, most Mod Revival bands from the late 70’s early 80’s, some Sham 69, some Stranglers, some The Clash, Oasis, some Blur, The Charlatans, and a shitload more…I tend to like banging guitar led bands I don’t think Radiohead are a bad band, but I admit I’m drawn to the more commercial tracks, like Creep, Street Spirit, and No Surprises, rather than stuff like this one, it pushes the boundaries too far for me, and just sounds awful…it’s the only band, whose fans make me angry, they look down on you, and say we don’t get it, maybe we don’t want to ‘get it’ because we don’t like the sound, it was the same in the 90’s, and uni students wondered why it wasn’t safe to venture out of the Uni bar…I think I’ve still got OK Computer on CD somewhere, but I’ve never listened to it in one sitting, because it bores me. People say keep listening and you’ll get it, but why put myself through it again and again when I don’t like it? I listen to music to enjoy it, and other than the 3 tracks I mentioned, I don’t enjoy listening to them…
@@atiminthailand4531 A patron of apposite Mark Twain quotes, I see.
Whoosh = the sound made when music goes over someone's head
So disappointing you reacted like this to an amazing live performance
One of the great Jools performances from one the the best bands ever. The album ok computer regularly appears high in top 100 albums of all time.
I remember watching it live, as World Party were on, unfortunately Foo Fighters performed Monkey Wrench. Then this came on, then World party performed Vanity Fair. It took a few seconds to recover from the previous 2 songs, but they did it for me.
Imagine coming on after Paranoid Android.!!!
Then later they performed “She’s the one” which Robbie Williams covered and took to number one.
top 100! top 10 you mean
Kinda crazy that you have to stop to talk about it, then when it carries on you've lost the flow of the song and it's hilarious and suddenly "this shit" come on now? I'm not mad you don't like it but stopping to giggle isn't helping the song out. Normally I like the channel but this was just annoying
You have called this one terribly wrong fellas. Check out anything from the ‘From The Basement’ sessions. Absolutely sublime and shows their genius
Totally made a cunt of it here guys 🤣
Yeah, this is a shocker of epic proportions! 😂
Basement are good, but live in front of an audience has more energy and they are a great live band.
I agree with the guys. This was nowhere near as good as the studio version.
Don’t bother with anymore Radiohead guys. If you can’t hear the total brilliance in Paranoid Android, their music ain’t for you.
How about Baa Baa Black Sheep next?
It's considered one of the greatest songs of all time. Legendary band.
@@zogwort1522 What whiny music are you referring to?
@@zogwort1522 What an abhorrent comment, wow. The fact that you could extrapolate that from their music is hilarious. Their music is unmatched in my opinion. You call it whiny; I call it brilliant. Peace.
Wow, I would like to see them make ''noises'' more iconic than Radiohead. This has gone way over their head.
These 2 goons are thick as mince.
Seriously.
Definitely over their heads, to be honest though they like Oasis, so not surprising to be honest!
@@Thea7972 yes I'm mainly a heavy rock fan, but I appreciated good music and Radiohead turned out some great stuff, very intelligent lyrics, they could be pretty depressing or pretty funny depending on the spin you put on it.
@@Thea7972 I was 10 when this came out and heard it on a Now compilation and LOVED it. Then I listened to the album and it is even better there too
@@margaretnicol3423 For people who don't have the capacity to understand it.
I think you’ve proved that you can’t handle anything but very mainstream soft rock.
Agree.
Agree 👍
Way over their heads. 'They're a band that had fun and made noises. Let's finish this" That made me feel ill.
Radio seems normal to me. Mainstream music mostly sucks in my opinion. Much of my music taste is weirder than Radiohead.
Agree
Wow, it reaaaally went over their heads. The musicianship, the originality, the quality of how the song is structured and designed to provoke dissonance and conflict...Well taste is taste, so to each their own, but disappointing to see that anything with more than 4 chords is disregarded.
It's not a reaction it's blatant mockery....never heard a musician rip into another like that? I'll shut up now & listen to OK computer...in the topb100 albums of all time🌻
Indeed, it’s the most immature reaction video I have ever seen, you’re right the genre and composition structure of the song went completely over their heads.
I recommend Fake Plastic Trees, No Surprises or Karma Police, all great songs from roughly this era of Radiohead that are potentially a little more accessible lyrically.
They are experimental and unique and that's what makes them so good.
Disappointed by the laughter tbh. Feels like no attempt to engage with a band/song/performance that's even a little bit outside your comfort zone.
Fine not to enjoy something but the decision to giggle and dismiss it as shit rather than delivering any meaningful criticism doesn't sit well with me.
Exactly what I was thinking just not quite as eloquently put.
Great list of accessible tracks, I’d add High & Dry, Lucky and Daydreaming to that too
Defo need to check out fake plastic trees and high and dry for sure
Also surprices
No point if it's a live version - they are a studio band
I knew they wouldn't get it! I said when they were struggling to understand Blur that they shouldn't even try Radiohead as it would be well beyond them. They need thier music pretty straight forward without too much depth, it's probably the same reason Radiohead didn't have too much mainstream success in the US. They often tend to prefer the cookie cutter stuff. One of the all time greats though for sure
Radiohead are huge in the US and sell out every show instantly.
These two are clueless when it comes to music
It's like trying to understand calculus when you dont even grasp the concept of multiplication. Of course they are confused.
Radiohead are pretty big in the US. They've headlined Coachella and Lollapalooza a couple of times, plus several sellout tours.
This reaction says more about you guys than Radiohead. At least Daniel seems to try to understand and be open minded. He should do his own channel.
Completely agree.
I agree mate i just unsubscribed coz of that idiot's reaction.
F****** Yanks!
Hugely disappointed by your lack of appreciation of a song widely recognised as having one of the greatest complitaions ever put together..... another example of making up your mind before listening. Maybe stick to mainstream pop and soft rock.
I enjoy watching your channel but you’ve missed the point completely with Radiohead. To then laugh at this track shows real ignorance. Radiohead were streets ahead of bands like Oasis, Blur and Snow Patrol FGS with their lyrics, originality.and experimentation. They were the best band to come out of that era and I’m just a music lover and not necessarily a big Radiohead fan.
I was a big fan of this at the time even though I was very young an moved into heavier stuff but I think this maybe where my love of the more obscure, experimental music began. It makes sense I like Opeth and Meshuggah and bands like that that defy what you expect them to do. I think you feel the same as me, not bothered they didn't like he song but the way it was treated. I personally don't know how you can judge a song if you have to stop it to have a little chat and lose all the flow of it
When a kid sees a Picasso, the kid laughs at how bad the drawing is.
Abstract art isn’t just visual, it’s auditory as well. And both have a structural complexity that transcends the basically obvious.
I agree but this is barely abstract. In fact is it even abstract at all? Just an incredibly well structured song that goes through several shifts in tone, with typical western harmonies and counter-melodies etc. All performed by masters of their respective instruments/voice. I don't even understand what's not to get.
It's funny, I kind of think of 'Paranoid Android' as the 'Bohemian Rhapsody' of the mid-nineties. They're both a crazy, iconic, rolling mish-mash. But if you enter either of them expecting to hear a standard 3-minute pop song, you'd be very confused.
I wonder if it's just that if you are already familiar with either song, it's become normalised to you? "Obviously" that's how it goes. As someone who was a teenager in 90s Britain, it's in my blood.
Some said it made BR look like child's play.
Wow, you really were not ready for something of this quality, maybe stick to basic rock and pop until you are.
One of the best bands ever...
I still think to this day, ok computer is one of the finest albums ever made. i used to quite easily shed a tear listening to this song it always felt so deep for me.
One of the greatest songs ever written. I listen to this song once a week to make me feel good. It will grow on you guys.
Going from Creep to Paranoid Android is like jumping from Love Me Do to Tomorrow Never Knows by The Beatles with nothing in between! 🤯🤯🤯🤯
And it's incredible that there was only 'The Bends' in between.
🤣 perfect analogy..... And anyone with a good ear would be able to hear Tomorrow Never Knows and understand straight away that it is a well-made track no matter the style being different from most songs. Same with this song. Btw Tomorrow Never Knows is my favorite Beatles song
The best performance of one of the greatest songs ever recorded:
"They just make noises", "What is this shit?". What a disappointing reaction.
"Taking nothing away from Creep". Creep is their worst track...
this is indeed a fantastic performace of a fantastic song
Creep so bad even radiohead refuse to play it live.
Disappointing but not surprising...have you seen their reaction to The Smiths? At this stage it would take a miracle for them to not hate Radiohead.
@@luxetveritas9196 stop watching then
@@mattsibson1457 I only watched it because someone sent it to me. I could say the same to them - stop making reaction videos to intelligent music. But they're reacting to it and posting it on RUclips, so I'm going to comment.
Maybe a bit too sophisticated for you
This really actually annoyed me to hear you guys throw this song under the bus, each to their own... I guess. But in reality this is truly a band not afraid to experiment. Radiohead is a band you really need to ease into. And ok computer is an absolute great album. Regardless, I'm sure there will be plenty of suggestions. I find that most Radiohead songs do tend to lend themselves to being part of a bigger story (the album).
Good first listens might be:
Fake plastic trees
High and dry
Thinking about you
There there
Sail to the moon
The sound mixing on Jules Holland is impeccable.
Oh my gosh it is overwordly and glorious
You've had too many energy drinks today boys! You're missing a trick with Radiohead.
The whole OK Computer album is great.. each song bleeds perfectly into each other.
Except Electioneering. Great song. Just doesn't really fit on OK Computer.
Not one of my “favourite” bands, but this is one of the best songs ever written and they are one of the greatest bands of all time.
@@zogwort1522 for starters, at least 3 or 4 albums which are basically universally recognised by music critics around the world as examples of the very best the genre has to offer.
@@zogwort1522 what on earth makes you think music critics are some kind of authority? Music critics are people who are usually passionate and reasonably knowledge able about music and write about/discuss music for a living or a hobby. Of course if you prefer look at any online rock music ratings site and you'll find Radiohead is also held in v.high regard by the general public (among those who take interest in rock music)
Not to mention being extremely highly regarded by many of their contemporaries of course.
Hi to everyone like me who grew up with radiohead, and we saw the paranoid android video on MTV, that we understood the text that talks about anxiety and panic. And now we're looking at this strange reaction from two people so upset for a famous song from 20 years ago.
Top 5 albums of the 90s masterpiece
For me, the two standout groups providing a soundtrack to my life are The Doors and Radiohead. I'm also a longtime subscriber to your channel and generally give you 'two thumbs up', to use your own vernacular. But hearing your mocking laughter to this has really irritated me. Art's subjective, you can dislike a piece of art. But don't mock it, sneer at it, look down your noses at it or - worst of all - act like you're better than it. It makes you look cheap. Or, perhaps, in a more revealing way, exposes you as cheap. Bad work, boys...very bad work.
Down your noses?? That’s all you lot have been doing in your comments to them! Pot, kettle and black springs to mind…not everyone likes shit like this!
@@45dda okay, dean.
Bang on with the Doors though, great band with the exception of Jim Morrison’s poetry…
Aye, The Doors are excellent.
My suggestion to you, as listeners coming to Radiohead from "Creep", is to check out something from their second album "The Bends" as I think this is too big a leap, especially with the unusual structure.
"Just" has long been one of my favourites, great video, too, and songs like "Fake Plastic Trees" and "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" are also among their classic stuff.
^ THIS ^
Nonsense. Music is subjective so you never know, but there are some great songs on many of their albums that are accessible or have a great hook and draw you in quickly. Paranoid android is beloved by but I don't think its the best song on ok computer (karma police and subterranean homesick alien). From kid a - National anthem is a banger with that baseline and i'd also consider Ideoteque or optimistic which is a bit more traditionally accessible.,From Hail to the thief, There There. From in rainbows 15 step, bodysnatchers, nude, all I need. From a moon shaped pool, Burn the witch
Old stuff, Just and Fake plastic trees are great picks.
Yep, I'm with you on this. I should have read this before I wrote my comment! 'The Bends', 'Just' or 'My Iron Lung' would have made a much better transition from Creep to Paranoid Android. Without hearing something from The Bends first it's just far too big a leap. Kind of like going from 'Love Me Do' to 'I Am The Walrus'!
Wow, I'm surprised by the reaction to this. I didn't like Radiohead much after this album but their second album (the bends) and this one (ok computer) were around in my mid to late teenagers.
When I first heard this song, it blew me away. It's kind of a masterpiece to me.
I think you should listen to the studio version tbh. In fact, I think you should listen to the bends, then listen to ok computer. And maybe then you'll get it?
Disappointed with the laughing guys. Classic Radiohead that, one of the greatest bands ever.
They challenged you to think beyond the norm, job done. Listen to it again and let the lyrics mean what they mean to you and enjoy the journey. You would freak if you eat the same food all the time and Radiohead is some special sauce to take rock somewhere else. Come on guys thought more of you than this.
@@zogwort1522 You got the wrong end of the stick, my refrence was to Radiohead alone and simply about the listening experience, not about achievements or place in the different areas of musical hierarchy. They added something to the pot and that is all and is hard to do.
@@zogwort1522 Kinda my point, to step up and out of the crowd you have to bring a little somthing special or at least memorable, I think Radiohead did that. BTW I am no Radiohead fan boy, just got a kick out of there music back in the day.
Absolute bollox lads.....this was a phenomenal performance. I watched this the night it aired. The reaction to by the audience tells you how blown away they are. As someone else said, it the bohemian rhapsody on the 90s. The song is named after Marvin from The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
"We won't piss off radiohead fans because we're not taking away from creep"
Uh oh
One of the most under appreciated bands of all time. They are brilliant.
They have several of the highest rated albums of all time. How are the under appreciated?
One of the best bands ever.
Oh dear. Mocking an iconic song by one of the best bands to come out of England in the past 20 years is certainly a reaction. But not one that does you any credit.
Like all great art, their music isn't immediately accessible perhaps, and demands something from the listener.
Clearly too much for you guys.
I don’t think you get any further up your own arse…
@@45dda Well you should know, Sweetheart. We still on for tonight?
Can't believe you're laughing 🤣 I was offended then I found myself crying with laughter with you at the realisation that if you didn't know Radiohead at all how funny it would actually be to see them for the first time in a completely different era through the eyes of a different culture.. sometimes we're just different. But this is pure genius and it doesn't surprise me that Americans wouldn't "get it"
I'm American, and I get it and always have. Simple people reside in all countries, unfortunately.
Radiohead are huge in America though. I know plenty of people in the UK who don’t gel with them either. I wish everyone could see what we see in their music but unfortunately everyone’s different and it will never click for many.
apologies on behalf of the UK for this comment. Very obnoxious to imply that Americans are stupid and "wouldn't get it". Kinda ironic as if it wasn't for Americans this dude wouldn't even be sat there watching this video and making these dense comments over the internet ...
I am from the US and Radiohead is probably my favorite band and there are a huge amount of fans in the US.
Haah! Ha ha! 'His voice is haunting, in a Dystopian way, from unborn chicken voices to God loves his chiildren' and it terrifies me' Welcome to the inside of the British psyche, Gentlemen. Its a culture clash. :) British people 'get' those lyrics,.. no hallucinogens needed,..we're just that terrifyingly nihilistic and repressed. :) x
Don't let this video make you think America is across the board this way. American here, and as with many others, Radiohead were a life changing band for me, almost twenty years ago. Only three artists changed my musical paradigm to such a degree -- Nirvana, Radiohead, and Boards of Canada. Will always love Radiohead for the pure beauty and art that they have and still manage to conjure. They are in the conversation of GOATs.
We should be glad neither one is a musician oh wait.
Think that was about the fall of the roman empire. Not really a good jumping in point for Radiohead! Just like the Blur one wasn’t. Prog rock my friends, a concept album foreshadowing the 21st century and where technology would take us, songs with more than 4 chords, time signatures other than 4/4… they had balls to release that after the hugely successful Bends album which you’d probably enjoy more. Despite being prog rock this album was even more successful but they had even bigger balls to mostly drop the guitars and release an even more experimental follow up album and another masterpiece. They’ve got at least 3 under their belt (OK Computer, Kid A, In Rainbows). They don’t sit still like many of the bands you have on here, they push boundaries. Lets be honest, Oasis made a couple of good records that resonated but they sound like a pub band musically compared to these guys
This has to be one of the finest live performances of all time, incredible musicians.
🤣🤣🤣
That guy claims to be a musician, then says "the lyrics were trash" 😬 guys you're showing your ignorance and lack of musical depth and understanding.
wooshhhhh! that’s the noise of Radiohead flying right over your head.
This is the kind of reaction you should watch those days in which you feel down and stupid. It will help you to reconsider your point of view. One of the greatest songs of all time, performed by one of the best bands of all time.
One of the best ever live performances on jools Holland show. Epic band.
You slipped up here guys, this is an iconic track from a fantastic album that, I think, reached #1 on the Billboard charts.
I think I just watched two middle school girls laughing and mocking something 'cos it wasn't part of their everyday experience.
Very strange reaction.''these guys just make noises." This is an incredible performance. They piss all over Oasis.
Surprised at you're lack of maturity there Spencer
well it's Paranoid Android, just imagine what would go on in that mind. Try Karma Police, its a classic. preferable Live at Glastonbruy.
He talks in maths and buzzes like a fridge, yeah that’s another epic one they won’t get . I’m thinking band on the run by wings would also be upsetting to them when it changes up a bit 🤣
They have some powerful and beautiful songs.
It's one thing not being able to appreciate the genius in a song and a completely different thing laughing at it. If someone doesn't like it, I get it but laughing at it is just distasteful
I think you have listened to 1 song from an album that only provides context when heard start to finish. You can't just dip in and out and expect to get it. It also comes from a time when people had more time to shut the bedroom door and contemplate whole albums at a time rather than be interrupted by social media. Not blaming you guys - you're just not of that age. I still get goose bumps listening to the melody and structure of this :)
One of the greatest bands ever! You mis-understand the lyrics and art, I think
Laughing at one the greatest songs taken from one of the greatest albums of all time ! Children
Granted it doesn't have the lyrical depth of "we can have lasagne........"
Well done on purposely picking the weakest song on Definitely Maybe 🤦♂️
@@Gavsy1874 Thanks!
Even the lyrics on the best songs on that album are crap.. Did it with doctor on a helicopter.. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️😂😂😂
@@jameslturnbull Jealousy is a horrible emotion.
😂 I'd stick to Oasis if I was you boys. Basic Rock n Roll more your thing...
I think this song was too 'out there' for your ears. Radiohead is a a bit of a national treasure so the slack jawed guffawing probably rubbed a few people up the wrong way. Radiohead started as an indie band on their first album but then their sound progressed and developed incredibly quickly so a lot of the time listeners found their music inaccessible at first but then got into it later. A lot of people like them because they are always on the cutting edge and their sound is always fresh and innovative.
Like fuck are they a national treasure!
yeah, you guys don't get it, especially the dude in the red hoodie. you couldn't be half the musicians, even if you tried. have a great day.
I'm not a Radiohead fan, but come on, dont disrespect music because of you're limited knowledge of music that's influenced by some US radio channel that loves one song by every artist ....This was a UK Top 10 hit....... (as Radiohead go laughing all the way to the bank, and you lose 1000+ subscribers), this is easily the worst song reaction I've ever seen, and I've seen loads....
When your emotional intelligence is so low you giggle at it like a 10 year old.
You should have listened to something from "The Bends" it's their easiest album to get into. I had never heard a Radiohead song before 2021 and I was absolutely floored by The Bends and then I heard Ok Computer, Kid A, In Rainbows & A Moon Shaped Pool which are all amazing albums but, are very different from each other. Paranoid Android has become maybe my favorite song ever but I was initially confused the same way you guys were.
6:03 Also I love how he says "we aren't taking anything away from Creep" because Radiohead and their fanbase despise that song. It's basically a joke at this point. And those "dolphin noises" are the main character of Paranoid Android dissenting into madness.
You should check out Skunk Anansie so many great tunes doesn’t matter which track you start with they have many great tunes, Weak, Secretly, Hedonism, Charlie Big Potato, Brazen, Because of you…I could go on but too many to name.
Yes, Skunk Anansie!
What an exceptional voice Skin has 💜
I think this is the wrong song to go into straight after Creep. Radiohead are unlike any other band in the sense that they have never made more than two albums in the same style. I'd recommend Fake Plastic Trees, Just, High and Dry, My Iron Lung, Sulk, Street Spirit all from the second album (Any song but follow from left to right. Street Spirit is probs the best song but also one of the least accessible. Maybe you could try Karma Police and No Surprises as they are the most accessible songs on the third album. Possibly Let Down also. I'll leave a quick rundown of the styles of each album: (IMHO)
Pablo Honey: Indie Rock/Grunge
The Bends: 100% Grunge
Ok Computer: Experimental / Alt Rock
Kid A: Experimental Electronic
Amnesiac: More experimental electronic
Hail to the Thief: More experimental Alt Rock
In Rainbows: Just.. Beautiful. Art Rock maybe.
The King of Limbs: Very very experimental percussion.
A Moon Shaped Pool: Combines the styles of many of the previous albums.
I'd 100% stick to the first 2, 3 at the most. This kind of music is obvs very new to you.
Very accurate depiction kudos to you for that.
Love you fellas but this is simply above your head musically guys. When you have top classical musical scholars calling it genius, think it says it all.
Loving music and having such a reaction at Radiohead is like watching a Kubrick movie and saying it sucks. It means that your opinion is not relevant (nothing personal, you also seem nice)
It’s fine you don’t like this. No music is for everyone. But if you’re going to approach any art this close minded, just do yourself a favour and stick to what you like.
Perhaps you're better off listening to bands and songs that are more basic and require not much thought. Disappointed you made no attempt to even try and understand the lyrics and just laughed all the way through. Clearly this has gone straight over your heads. Fake plastic trees, high and dry might be at least easier to listen to.
One of the great TV performances ever… oh well never mind
You’ve GOTTA listen to Karma Police. Other good Radiohead songs are No surprises, Street Spirit, Fake Plastic Trees 👍
Radiohead's "life in a glasshouse" performance on jools is epic, as is "There there" the one with greenwood and ed o'brien playing additional drums also "myxomatosis" live from the basement, Karma police is epic. The song paranoid android is a reference to "hitch hikers guide to the galaxy".
Intelligence used to be a thing.
I don't understand you guys, this performance is sublime, man, one of the best bands ever, a little of respect
Radiohead is the best!!!!! So Many great songs to explore.
First of all. The whole OK computer album is an absolute masterpiece and must have for all music lovers.
I recommend pyramid song, All I need, Weird fishes, How to disappear completely, idioteque just to name a few.
And of cause the whole Ok computer album 🖤🖤
Hahaha! I LOVE radiohead but this is maybe my favourite reaction of any song ever!
The fact that the only song of radiohead you guys knew was Creep and that your second listen was the jump to this only makes it better. I loved the fact that two minutes into the song you were both in hysterics and then as the song progressed you moved onto looks of appreciation at the guitar work(Jonny Greenwood is one of the best British guitarists of his generation btw) to looks of confusion, pain and sheer bewilderment.
It was a delight to watch. Honest reactions are so much more enjoyable than pretending to like something you don't just to please the poeple watching.
I would say though that it's such a huge leap going form Creep to Paranoid Android. Creep is representative of their first album(Pablo Honey) but is entitely unrepresentative of everything else they have done. The follow up album (The Bends) is a a step forward in style and then its a huge step forward to their third album(O.K Computer) which is where Paranoid Android is from. On top of that, Paranoid Android is their most 'challenging' song on the album so to go from Creep to Paranoid Android without anything in between or any kind of warning is an enormous leap.
If you're going to give them another try, and personally, I'd love it if you did, maybe have a listen to Fake Plastic Trees form the bends. It's a great song but isn't out there like maybe P.A is. The lyrics are much easier to understand too. you could also try My Iron Lung, Just or Street Spirit(fade out) form the same album. If you want to go further into O.K computer you could try Karma Police(probably my favourite radiohead song) or No surprises. Or Exit music. Or Lucky. Or...
I'd really recommend giving them another try. They're an outstanding band with one of the best and most creative back catalogues of any band in the past 30 years.
I can’t believe these guys just described Radiohead as ‘they just make noises’. Wow
Well I dont know why you laughed at the "yayayaya" of Thom Yorke, I know I didnt. Because it was just adlibing vocally, thats just freedom and creativity and grooving. it was nothing wrong. You just dont know how big this song is. He's singing about a crazy situation thats why the adlibs were crazy as well. Its the whole thought of the song that you dont get yet. Paranoid Android is a serious big ecentric/ecclectic hit.
@@zogwort1522 Think Joker. Thats a crazy ass character but YOU KNOW WELL he's dead serious in everything he does and is a killer. So I dont have any problems with any crazy ass sound that Thom makes cos I know this is a dead serious song and I know he's singing about a crazy ass situation people get into. Paranoid Android is an incredible art of a song.
@@zogwort1522 so you're saying you just laugh off at these crazy sounds? and destroyed you're whole listening experience to songs like these?
So sad just listening to your reaction.. it is just sad!
ok computer is easily one of the best albums of the past 30 years
As a fan of Radiohead I'm actually looking forward to you guys doing another radiohead review.
I love Radiohead, love this track and love this performance. Your reaction was honest, which I also love.
One of the best songs of all time from a genius singer songwriter, thom Yorke what a guy!!! Bloody love Radiohead!!! The 90s were the best!!!
- What are we listening?
- A fucking MASTER PIECE.
After Pink Floyd, Radiohead is the only band capable of such rich sounds, complex compositions and dreamy/hypnotic sounds. The only difference is Radiohead is not a guitar solo's band. I love Radiohead because I love Pink Floyd. In my Top 3 of Greatest British Bands of All Times.
Tool are another band on the same level as Radiohead and Pink Floyd if you don't know them I recommend listening to 10,000 days or Lateralus
@@jamehofmann5855 I just started to get into Tool the last year and a half after seeing them on so many Radiohead threads I had to check them out I had a bad taste in my mouth from trying out Muse because people kept comparing them to Radiohead and I was not feeling it. I have since come to appreciate Muse even though I would not put them in the same league as RH.
This is one of the more mainstream Radiohead songs. You guys just aren't ready.
Paranoid android ? Voices in his head and a troubled mind full of confusion. I wouldn't bother doing anymore radiohead because you just don't get it guy's.
A nice reaction. Listen to it again, again and again and you’ll get it. It took me 5 years to get KidA and now it’s my favourite radiohead album. Try, everything in its right place.
Please don’t listen to Radiohead ever again. You don’t deserve to. By all means, listen to Kid Rock. He’s sure to be down your alley.
You are such simple souls, this music is way beyond you. To see an educated reaction to Radiohead check out Old Composer reactions.
You Philistines! 😄😄😄 This is one of the best songs from one of the greatest album's of all time (OK Computer) 😁
Focus less on the words and more on the feelings evoked.
And stopping the flow won’t help the appreciation.
Album band = not trying to be immediately accessible
