@@jonathanbeatrice8317 that's good news, i think they're pretty hard on themselves about their early stuff, but i understand every artist gets fed up with certain songs.

I saw Radiohead twice The Kid A tour, I could not take my eyes of Johnny Greenwood....amazing musician and artist. And of course the rest of the band are brilliant
@@キラキラくりくり頭 Awww damn, makes sense now, haha sorry bro, even though I love me some Radiohead, I still didn't even remember his last name is Greenwood (it's even in the damn title, I'm just dumb). And the part about sarcasm, I wouldn't call it that, i'd say is more of a joke involving a play on words - wordplay. I don't say it in a competitive kind of way though, you made a cool joke and I didn't get it, I'm the noob, I take the L. 😌
I'm a live music photographer! Whenever I look at Jonny Greenwood performing live with all those expressions and body moves, it makes me wanna be there to shoot his photographs in action!
I think he broke the (high-E) string intentionally. At 2:28 his pinky is on the string, but appears to be off the fretboard. At 2:30 it looks like the string is caught on the bridge pickup. Then, at 2:32, (sorry... 2:34) he breaks the string. I don't think he broke it to impress anyone or to look cool. He was probably thinking "fuck it" it's the last song and the string's out of tune. I'd rather get the string out of the way than play out of tune.
Actually, what he does is he has a ball end of the string drilled purposely onto his guitar which he hooks the high E string onto just for The Bends. He latches it onto that ball to make the sound and then when he's done, he unlatches it and he can use it normally. I assume through the tension of bending it, it broke. "According to a fan who’s friends with Duncan (Jonny’s guitar tech), the small, round bit of metal on the instrument, situated between the right-side neck pickup screw and one of the pickguard screws, is the ball-end of a guitar string. It was added in 1997 so that Jonny could hook his high E-string onto it to get very high notes." Source: thekingofgear.com/jonny/chordophones#electric
That’s really interesting. You can also see- what appears in function to be- a mute switch behind the volume knob & pickup selector that Johnny presses at the same time when snapping the string off. Such wonderfully whacky stuff!
Check out the Jools Holland performance of this song and watch what Johnny does with the high e string. He pulls it off and gets weird high pitch noises out of it
@@Jalliams yep! He's got a killswitch there on the guitar which actually took the place of some other switch that came stock on this model of guitar, I think it was like a phase or coil tapping switch if I remember correctly.
he's literally younger than he was when the band started. Meanwhile Thom (no offense, thom is wonderful and we all love him) looks like 80 years old especially if you compare it to a concert only like 15 years ago. if you look at a 2005 pic of him then a 2015 of him its honestly crazy.
I've never heard them play this live or much of anything off of that album other than street spirit. Actually.. I take that back.. last time I saw them in ATL they did play Just. Was a great show
...And just rips it off like a pro during a break and continues like nothing even happened. He’s always been unconventional but this proves why he’s one of the best, even if he doesn’t care for the instrument anymore...
It's not the G, it's his high E, you can see that it breaks as he's trying to hook it on to the ball end of a guitar string that he uses for high notes
Ok (not computer), the overall sound quality was shite, but what else can you expect from a bootleg, for a string to go like that knowing how it will affect the overall tuning of the guitar, he managed pretty well in my book.
He does the same thing in other performances of this song live. He didn't mean to snap it. He was just pulling the string of the fretboard and plucking it to try make a certain sound but it ended with the string snapping
hes got a little rig built, whatever these people are saying are only fluffing their own egos lol listen to the video where JG explains what he does himself
The g-string snapped yeah. I think he rewound it during the break on the last verse cause everything looks good at the end. But you can see he uses the b string when the g slips/snaps and he makes it work, but you can tell something happened there.
I believe it is a Casino. Not a 339, which is a different, skinnier, guitar. There's also a 'Casino Coupe', which is slimmer-bodied more like a 339, I think, but I think the guitar Thom's playing here is a regular Casino. You're right that the (presumably) master volume knob on the lower bout is not standard, he must have added it

Anyone can play guitar. But absolutely no one can play guitar like Jonny Greenwood.
except for jonny greenwood of course
except for jonathan
Johnny Marr…. Steve craddock, Paul McCartney, mike ncCready…. Prince on a bad day..
@@ianevans6877they all have their own styles, the only problem is you can’t tell the difference
too true
You can see they love playing it. No matter how experimental they get, nothing beats cranking up the gain and windmilling a few chords.
This is the stuff that got them famous! Sure the experimental stuff made them legendary and continually relevant, but songs like this just..feel good

@@justanormalguy9744 Haven’t met a young person?
Thom has the time of his life mumbling the lyrics, sometimes he just whines out slurred words. It’s always a gamble of what he wishes
Looks like he needs to stop giving that string *The Bends*
noooooo
Fuck
🙈 I giggled
👏
for fuck sakes that got me
Jonny Greenwood looks like he's barely aged lol, his haircut is awesome
I always loved how Jonny looked like he had hair growing instead of eyes 😅. Awesome guitarist
his hair is so healthy and shiny and bouncy and I'm envious.
Yup Jonny defo had/has his own thing going on. A true guitar hero with style and substance!
For real tho
That guitar deserves its own Hall of Fame.
Jonny and his wife, telecaster
Jonny beats his wife

Oh, the infamous G string "incident". It's such a huge part of Radiohead lore.
Tell me about more lore, other than 1993 mtv beach house
It's the E string though (the first one). But I didn't know about it having a history, a recurrent nature in their shows, that's cool, haha.
@@saulf.4678 please look up the word "sarcasm" in the dictionary.
Ah, not G string, but Jonny G... String

Jonny Greenwood has some of the greatest hair known to man. It has a life of its own.
I love watching Jonny sing during the intro even though he's not mic-ed at all
He has a terrible voice. Even he admits it. They wouldn't let a mic near his mouth.
@@anthonyfuqua6988useless comment don't be so negative for no reason
@willjones8801 That's literally a quote from the man hisself. Radiohead is in my top 3 bands.
@@anthonyfuqua6988 it was just unnecessary negativity
@@willjones8801 well kick rocks
I hate comments pointing out how hot a musician looks, but now i get after seeing Jonny lmaooooo
Wtf bro
He's still the coolest guitarist imho
yes absolutely
in term of how he feel the song it self, haircut, outfit, his movement, rapid swing,
its cool
He’s MORESO now..the coordination to unwind a string while playing!?
Easily
facts
Finally, some footage of Jonny's skill on that guitar

damn i wish i was as cool as jonny greenwood
Spooks He's so fucking special
@@amadeusbintang6914 I wish I was so special
Carlos Soler But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell is he doing there
2:32 You reel me out and you cut the string🎶
Paranoid Alfred thanks
No thanks I'll wait ;)
@@leohuynh7405 hahaha
Just in case someone still confused, that's the E4 string, 'G' in the title stands for Greenwood.
AH that makes so much sense! I was watching the video going "wait, that was the E string, not the G!"
Johnny is a wizard. That’s all I have to say.
it's funny cause he was actually in one of the Harry Potter movies
Always kinda strange to see these guys in 720p - 60fps
Daniele Solimene lol this was me when I saw them in person last year. I was like “holy shit, there they are!”

He plays guitar better than I ever could without a string
Goddamn I want to see them live again so bad. I love that they can still rock with some music off The Bends
he's literally younger than he was when the band started. Meanwhile Thom (no offense, thom is wonderful and we all love him) looks like 80 years old especially if you compare it to a concert only like 15 years ago. if you look at a 2005 pic of him then a 2015 of him its honestly crazy.
I personally think he looks like a badass nowadays.
@@eleven9286 Yeah, he kinda looks cool older
@TheBoi353 the thing is when you have long hair dont make ponytail ffs. He should shave his beard too
Is he still in that haircut? Damn he age backwards
OK, but Jonny looks very young for a man who is almost 50
That’s the thing I love about these Johnny Greenwood girls I keep getting older and they stay the same age
I like this, I like Johnny Greenwood girls
I wanna be a part of the human race
Gets me everytime
I don’t see Jonny’s thong anywhere. 🤔
LMFAO
Look at how Jonny is holding his guitar in the end of the video!!!
Watching him break of his High E-string in slow motion speed is amazing!!!
Wow! A string that breaks WHILE it is being played!
I've never heard them play this live or much of anything off of that album other than street spirit. Actually.. I take that back.. last time I saw them in ATL they did play Just. Was a great show
I could watch him play all day...
And night.
He’s the Keith Moon of guitar❤️
ジョニーの弾き方世界一カッコいいなあ
All these years and until now i didn't know what the singer thanked the crowd for.
surprising, I didn't expect they were still alive until now, I had time to think they all didn't reach the age of 30 years
Jonny es todo un espectáculo
Damn, they got old. It's really sad to watch my fav bands are getting old :(
설원혁 still in their 40s so it’s bout all bad
설원혁 you’re getting older too buddy
@@veerchasm1 Yeah, that's also the fact that makes me sad
we all are or we are dead!

Jonny
...And just rips it off like a pro during a break and continues like nothing even happened. He’s always been unconventional but this proves why he’s one of the best, even if he doesn’t care for the instrument anymore...
Hate to be "that guy" but that's not a G-string he broke, it was the high E string. 😁
JW yes! lol i was drawn to an innuendo title instead of proper string
ha fair enough! Great performance though right?
oh yeah and the whole name separation jonny g(reenwood) simple descript of (string incident)
and yes! was on cloud 9 for LP9 tour 3.0
He could have been abbreviating Greenwood in the title
yasss!
Was there, I think behind this camera guy. Awesome time
He didn't even react to it snapping holy shit
"Thank you all, this one is called the No Bends"
wish the rest of the audio hadn't had drowned out johnny's lead guitar riffs at the end
Just keeps going!
It's every way he 'Plays' it
No wonder
But, Regardless...
Judt carries on & Perfection as Always
Thanks for sharing
Great 'moment'...
Niceone ; )
That’s a kid that understands his tool kit
love this one
It's not the G, it's his high E, you can see that it breaks as he's trying to hook it on to the ball end of a guitar string that he uses for high notes
Jonny Greenwood, the Slash of Radiohead
he doesent need to be compared he is the best
I'd take Johnny any day over slash or most other 80s shredders
fun fact: slash is quite the jonny fan. He's posted about him with high praises a few times on social media
Jonnys hair!
Jonny reminds me of Paul Martel in the movie Unfaithful (2002)
always remember to stay properly hydrated. stay thirsty my friends...
This is not what I had in mind when I read Jonny G-String incident but oh well
I glad I got this wrong! I’m just trying to shake the image of Jonny in a G string now!
Takes me bac
Incident...what a word...
Holy shit jonny
Not surprised by how he plays...
mtv shouldve hired u, great recording skills
Ok (not computer), the overall sound quality was shite, but what else can you expect from a bootleg, for a string to go like that knowing how it will affect the overall tuning of the guitar, he managed pretty well in my book.

Great video quality for amateur video. What camera/phone did you use?
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🎸🎸🎸good
Nobody looks cooler with a telecaster
My baby's got the breaks, oh no.
Sheer pro!
Johnny snapped his banjo string
It's always happens
Omg!! :)
I was there and I never noticed haha
WHY IS THE QUALITY SO HIGH
G-strings just get in the way
W🤩🤟
Me: Cries in floating bridge...
I initially thought something happened to the third string...
The g-string snapped yeah. I think he rewound it during the break on the last verse cause everything looks good at the end.
But you can see he uses the b string when the g slips/snaps and he makes it work, but you can tell something happened there.
Is that an epiphone Casino 339 I see Thom playing? My first guitar...
Nahh, it looks like some sort of gretsch
@@Ulvedrengen there fairly similar looking, but I think actually it is a gretsch
Lorenzo Niccolai Pretty sure it's a gretsch, it has that wierd master volume or whatever it is
It’s an epiphone you can tell by the headstock

Johnny G string? 😳😳😳😳
before the solo ohh noo
The video title is misleading. It should be "G bends a Jonny String"
Would have been impressive if he'd replaced it?
ua-cam.com/video/MXwBsxTBxGM/v-deo.html
there’s no space in the song for him to do it, and he didn’t need it.
FASTER JONNYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Nice exit
OMG! He broke a string!
Creo que esa telecaster ya es parte de su cuerpo xd
Thom is the goofy old man now owo
of course the only one of them who only uses one guitar breaks a string
G string incident....sounds like a strip club
Thom sounds like he's 20 again.
2:33
Does Jonny have his second guitar ?
