    The bass at the climax of Exit Music for a Film is absolutely monstrous. Also love the baseline in Nude. So simple but totally makes the song. Also the Airbag bass that comes in and out. Honestly I could go on forever. Thom and Jonny totally deserve the recognition they get but every member of that band is phenomenal.

      It’s because he knows exactly where he fits in the overall sound, never overdoes it but never underdoes it either. He’s the foundation of the band, and so his job is to make sure that this foundation is as intriguing and beautiful as possible.

      Pablo Honeys biggest sin is that it often can feel super generic, but it's really not that massive a problem. It's fun. It's a nice little alt rock album and in a few ways it was unique for the time. It is easy for it to feel like a terrible album considering what comes after in their career though.

    I’ve never realized how absolutely powerful the emotional aspects of I Promise were, particularly the instrumentation.

    Never have I seen a better video that encapsulates why The Smile can never, ever replace Radiohead.
    Jonny and Thom are a MAJOR part, but without Colin, Ed, and Phill, it’s not the same (and to be clear, I don’t think it was ever supposed to be).
    Colin is so, so good.
    I never actually realized how high he often played on the neck.
    It makes sense considering Radiohead have had a heavy, low-bass kind of sound. A lot of their stuff is lighter, more… nuanced.

Now I switch back and forth depending on the composition, but find myself opting for the pick more often than not.

    This was so cool and mesmerizing to watch, I hope I get to play like you one day ! I only started playing bass four months ago. Been a Radiohead fan since 2012. This video makes me so happy, you made me rediscover Radiohead through yet another lens, thank you for this moment and I hope you are doing amazing, queen ! Keep on rocking :)

    Fan fuckin tastic. Radiohead is my all time favorite band. I play the piano but this makes me want to immediately go out and buy a bass and learn how to play!

      Haven't been able to stop thinking about learning the bass since seeing this. My husband bought me one today. 🤣 Cheers to becoming as good as you one day!

    For an instrument playing a supporting role, that Karma Police bass outro is iconic

    Amazing bass playing! Never realized before that there was a slap part on My Iron Lung, and it's my favourite song from The Bends
