Radiohead !

[ThomThomDrum]

In fairness I havent seen them play since "In Rainbows" came out so it would be interesting to hear "Jigsaw" and "Reckoner" live. But when we saw them in 2006 it was a total snoozefest.

Right

For the benefit of Wooderson and all other Springy fans I'm going to post clips of the entire Radiohead works in a 2110 warm up thread.....

Obsessed..not me aaaaaaaaaa

[Red Day]

Saw them last year in Glasgow and apart from the weather I thought they were up to the usual high standards.

[Red Day]

Ive seen them a half-dozen times RD. 1995-97 they were sublime. Saw them 3 years ago and they were a pale immitation of themselves. Theyve vanished right up their own arses.

Though "Reckoner" is unspeakably beautiful.

You might have a point there. Thought the green principles of the last tour, whilst in the right spirit, were fine, they did have a shed load of gear to carry round and had a bloody big stage

[Wooderson]

Yeah they're w*nkers.

[Sparky]

Not only am I not apologising , but Im actually retracting Ivans apology from above. The thought of standing there listening to that whiney, head bobbing little maggot sing his pretentious rubbish and preach about how were all c**ts because we drove to the festival, while all the Radio “heads” stand in awe weeping, “Oh he had an eye problem when he was a kid, he was an outsider, just like me”, is f**king depressing.

[Wooderson]

Chill out you whiney git.

[Wooderson]

Chill out you whiney git.

[ShadyBlueBell]

I'd like to double-down on Ollan's retraction there.

Radiohead fans' blind obsessive worship really gets on my tits. Their fans salivate at every gloom filled lyric, swoon at every OTT vocal line from that blonde misery-gut's depressed little gob. Both Radiohead and their fans form a circle jerk of middle class ennui that wouldnt know rock 'n roll if their miserable lives depended on it.

[ShadyBlueBell]

Am I the only one that finds Radiohead quite uplifting?

[ThomThomDrum]

Hey Ivan............I think another apology is in order.............for starting this thread..............

Now Now calm down before your brain explodes, Such horrible viles words for some one so talented as Thom Yorke give the guy a break after all you have not got his writing talents and probably never will but every on is entitled to their own opinion but yours is OTT

As you may guess from my avatar, I'm a head fan. Note to self.....be careful where you admit that.

Amuses me at the anti head brigade, you see it for Oasis, Jay Z etc. Bit of a marmite situ, love or hate etc etc.

I'm gutted though at the Neil Young V's Doves dilema that's arrived today.

Thom Yorke is God.
