he's just an artist. people who are very intelligent and artistic come off as rude because their minds are racing with things they are far more interested in and are far more important than some mindless dribble of a conversation haha
The questions were fantastic, I was wondering if he'd comment on the reflection/parallel world question and unsurprisingly he did. That and the composure of the interviewer make this one of his best interviews imo.
"Making music for Radiohead is like going to the bathroom, I'm just going to the bathroom constantly, and millions are watching me go to the bathroom." ~ Thom Yorke
"how do you feel when you are finished doing a record? are you satisfied?" "terrible. i hate it. horrible." haha. that's aweosome. being a musician, i know what it's like. although i will never be close to his writing ability, but all artists feel that way about their work.
don't feel bad, thom. this album is helping to shape my life. i thought only i felt this certain way, but now i know at least thom feels the way i feel.
Well I'm not glad, it's horrible that he can't love what they've created just because everything else ends up bludgeoning what was such a pure thing from within him. I'm sure he would still have the drive to continue with music and do better if he ever liked one of their albums. I mean Thom Yorke is an artist, he needs to do it.
"It just beams in, it's got nothing to do with me." This is something that many poets say. They are simply receiving the information from the universe and they write it down. If we think historically in a spiritual sense, the people who are able to do this are essentially prophets; they claim they hear the voice of God. Something to think about.
His music just pops into his head? Such a genius.. I've been thinking that's probably how most famous musicians make their masterpieces, it's just channeled into them like some supernatural force. Makes me hope that one day I'll just start hearing good music in my head, but that'll probably never happen.
He is honest, thats what makes him an "asshole". If he doesnt like anything he will say it. And that's one of the reasons I look up to him so much. Hes not playing any game.
Hypomanics are commonly found in the world of music. Recently, Radiohead front man Thom Yorke admitted "Hypomania? Yes, that's exactly what it was", when asked about his mental complexion after the release of their classic album OK Computer.
Many talented people say that their work has little to do with them themselves and that it's more like tuning into some stream of information from the outside. Thom said it it too
i've just realize that he has more artistic sense than others musicians. For instance, he liked the question about what he thought about his music and stuff. And also about can't hearing his album....I like him now, :)
@Renneskid Yeah, I did notice that he started looking at her a lot more in the latter half of the interview, after I wrote the comment. I also found out about his left eye thing after my initial comment, and I think that definitely affects his subconscious feelings about making eye contact :)
yorke's quite a mysterious character, cos sometimes he's like this, confident, or fidgety and nervous, or like of big fat quiz of the year 2007 when he was just hilarious
@weirddaytoday This is about Hail to the Thief. There is a joke in part 2 that is supposed to be a play on words which refers to BackDrifts. off of HttT.
I think he just hates having to take his work and change it to be what it needs to be for the album. Plus, who the hell could feel comfortable listening to their own records?!
i wish i had thoms depression. because hes still able to songwrite and function and have lots of friends and perform all his live shows. my depression completely cripples me to the point where i can barely talk or do anything.
President Donald Trump Me too darling. Its been a while since I've done music and people liked it. My Depression Consumed me so much couldn't enjoy it ,because I still didn't feel good enough.
I hear that man. whats weird about my playing is that when i'm playing my guitar i absolutely love my touch and the way i play. i hear a recording of it and i'm thinking, "God i hate the way i play".
haha. i thought to myself, 'wow, what a great question the last one was.' then, thom said exactly what i was thinking. it was a touching moment. lemme tell ya.
she's a good interviewer..she's seems genuinely nice and interested..thom yorke is such an influence..if he influenced more people instead of pop singers and the like..there would be some difference imho
lol at how he says hi twice, because i think he realised that the first "hi" sounded really cold and sarcastic
He's a genius. He's so genuine in this interview and always honest.
he's just an artist. people who are very intelligent and artistic come off as rude because their minds are racing with things they are far more interested in and are far more important than some mindless dribble of a conversation haha
I think thom is awfully aware of what he's doing and how others might view it, like at the start he makes an effort to put in a more enthusiastic hi
Dank Meme lol 100% agree
I think it’s because she didn’t reply to the first hi
I really like the idea that the music comes to him from some unknown place - that he receives it. his music is ethereal, haunting and otherwordly.
He sounds totally tired and depressed and I wanna give him a hug! He is just so fragile it seems..
This is my porn.
I know it's been a year but.......(unzips) please go on 😳
he is a lovely, very honest bloke.
"Everything is a limitation." Spoken like a true innovator.
What’s up Warren? I love your vids man!
Absolutely... this is probably the best interview i have ever seen Thom have, she is great!
that was a great interview. seeing thom slowly warm up to her, then the affectionate looks he begins sharing. rad
Thom keeps touching his lips and she keeps fidgeting & smiling a lot!!!
it's so sweeeeeeeeettttttttttttttttt lol :P
and great interview aswell! :D
Yes it is soooo sweeet!
He doesn't seem like an asshole, just a bit awkward and knows what he wants.
No eye contact whatsoever...I love it! :)
She did a great job interviewing him and he seems somewhat comfortable with her. I love him so much!
The questions were fantastic, I was wondering if he'd comment on the reflection/parallel world question and unsurprisingly he did. That and the composure of the interviewer make this one of his best interviews imo.
its to be expected that someone of such musical genius would be somewhat socially ackward... i mean thats just the balance of the universe
"Making music for Radiohead is like going to the bathroom, I'm just going to the bathroom constantly, and millions are watching me go to the bathroom." ~ Thom Yorke
He's so awesomely weird, I love the guy so much.
This has to be my favorite interview of all interviews. Haha.
Wow, Thom blew that chick away, incredibly insightful answers from Mr. Yorke!
I wish there were still shows in the german television like this. But it's all gone down the drain...
"how do you feel when you are finished doing a record? are you satisfied?"
"terrible. i hate it. horrible." haha. that's aweosome. being a musician, i know what it's like. although i will never be close to his writing ability, but all artists feel that way about their work.
don't feel bad, thom. this album is helping to shape my life. i thought only i felt this certain way, but now i know at least thom feels the way i feel.
This is the most normal I've ever seen him. Good for you Thom! It's good to see him happy.
He's such a sweetheart :')
This dude is so awesome, I have to meet him someday.
congrats to the media's question at 3:25.. it's nearly impossible to impress this guy!
Interviewer: "First I'd like to talk about cycles."
Expression on Thom's face: WTF
omg!..thom yorke its soooo beautiful!!
That woman is just too adorable, i love the way they talk.
what interview for which album is this
Well I'm not glad, it's horrible that he can't love what they've created just because everything else ends up bludgeoning what was such a pure thing from within him. I'm sure he would still have the drive to continue with music and do better if he ever liked one of their albums. I mean Thom Yorke is an artist, he needs to do it.
wow. Thom is adorable in this vid!!!

i think his "i wait like this" is fucking hilarious
His music just pops into his head? Such a genius.. I've been thinking that's probably how most famous musicians make their masterpieces, it's just channeled into them like some supernatural force. Makes me hope that one day I'll just start hearing good music in my head, but that'll probably never happen.
I would be nervous too... the thought of unknowingly asking a stupid question would give me the chills.
Isn't he adorable???
They were good questions i'm watch part 2!
having left canada since writing my comment i've come to the conclusion that you're right,
her english is perfect.
i love his smile and his blue eyes
He is honest, thats what makes him an "asshole". If he doesnt like anything he will say it. And that's one of the reasons I look up to him so much. Hes not playing any game.

That was a god damn amazing question.
He's someone who truly thinks about what he says before he says it. Not many people do that.
This interviewer needs to be on TV more...
that interview had really good questions. thom, you are god
Good question. I like that question.
Many talented people say that their work has little to do with them themselves and that it's more like tuning into some stream of information from the outside. Thom said it it too
that interviewer is awesome
This man is really somewhere else. it's awesome. xD
i love the part when he laugh!
These 2 have the chemistry that is when you realise being a human being is ok!
That WAS a good question (at 3:23). It's so rare that reporters ask musicians intelligent questions.
What year is this video from?
She's an excellent interviewer.
hee he's really funny at the end. "i wait like this" :D
"I wait like this" *stares blankly*
LOL! XD
good question, i like that question
*looks at camera*
XD that's a good one
he is incredible :)
i've just realize that he has more artistic sense than others musicians. For instance, he liked the question about what he thought about his music and stuff. And also about can't hearing his album....I like him now, :)
He's weird in a good way!
that last question was fuckin AWE-SOME!!
she is so god damn smitten with thom. you can see it as soon as she says hello. and he's brilliant in this interview "I write away like this" lol
agree with you on Pablo Honey, but I loved Hail to the thief. But In Rainbows that was beautiful...
if i talked with Thom York, I would be nervous too.
He is gorgeous.
He's a fucking great genious. I can't think of another word. At LEAST a genious.
he is a true intellectual
She's hysterical!
WOW I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT NOTICED!! hahahaha
Oh my god haha he slapped himself. :D He is precious. ^-^ I always admired his cheekbones for some odd reason hehe. x]
Thom is Great!
OMG haha that interviewer is priceless
This interview took place in 2003, soccerrocker258. And, to answer your second question: Hail to the Thief is the record that Thom was talking about
He laughed :D
@Renneskid Yeah, I did notice that he started looking at her a lot more in the latter half of the interview, after I wrote the comment. I also found out about his left eye thing after my initial comment, and I think that definitely affects his subconscious feelings about making eye contact :)
i like him so much, i think he could be someone i could talk to for hours, but maybe i would bored him hahaha
je l'adore lol Il est génial, génial, y a rien à dire. Longue vie à Radiohead !!
ha lol the interviewer is HOT and love the way she speeks and Tom have very intresting thoughts :)
Thom has always struck me as being a really nice guy.
yorke's quite a mysterious character, cos sometimes he's like this, confident, or fidgety and nervous, or like of big fat quiz of the year 2007 when he was just hilarious
he is really.... weird, sweet, smart.... i don't now, i can't explain...
what an intelligent man!
@weirddaytoday This is about Hail to the Thief. There is a joke in part 2 that is supposed to be a play on words which refers to BackDrifts. off of HttT.
intresting interview thanks for the post;)
Tuned into a certain frequency? I wonder if Thom has ever listened to Gong. Sounds like invisible Radio Ga-nomes to me.
She's like a child asking Santa what she wants for Christmas
A a weird guy with incredible talent hehe
I think he just hates having to take his work and change it to be what it needs to be for the album. Plus, who the hell could feel comfortable listening to their own records?!
he was in a good mood that day
she just caught thom on a good day.
Could the mic be any longer?
Check out parts 2 and 3 too, the interviewer wants Thom
Happens to me too mad. It's just like hearing the sound of your voice I think. Everyone I know says they can't stand the sound of their voice.
i wish i had thoms depression. because hes still able to songwrite and function and have lots of friends and perform all his live shows. my depression completely cripples me to the point where i can barely talk or do anything.
President Donald Trump Me too darling. Its been a while since I've done music and people liked it. My Depression Consumed me so much couldn't enjoy it ,because I still didn't feel good enough.
I hope you both are okay
I hear that man. whats weird about my playing is that when i'm playing my guitar i absolutely love my touch and the way i play. i hear a recording of it and i'm thinking, "God i hate the way i play".
haha. i thought to myself, 'wow, what a great question the last one was.' then, thom said exactly what i was thinking.
it was a touching moment. lemme tell ya.
@someone6878 I think she's maybe German. It sounds like some odd European accent. And there's German (I think?) subtitles at the bottom.
She is lovely!
Nah I don't see it. Watch parts 2 & 3 mate, she asks some great questions and thom shows his appreciation.
she's a good interviewer..she's seems genuinely nice and interested..thom yorke is such an influence..if he influenced more people instead of pop singers and the like..there would be some difference imho
