He was suffering depression during the late 1990's, which partly gave rise to Radiohead's new musical direction. They would have split up were it not for that redirection. No Kid A, Amnesiac, Hail to the Thief, In Rainbows, TKOL. Thank God they decided to adapt and evolve rather than die out.
He..in retrospeck...tivitallisticly, clearly just needed a hug, maybe a couple few blankets, and I don't know if English people have different DNA requirements or Wott, but the boy definitely needed some gentle but effective vitamins. Er hell, Maybe some sunlight..I get bummed beyond belief of bummed out if I don't get X amount of sunlight..? Dunno.
His body language is so expressive. He has a wall in between himself and the interviewer. I can relate. Not that I'd be interviewed, but the physical separation required when doing something you don't really want to do is evident. I commend him for working through it to the end. Nothing against Matt, and I'm grateful for the chat.
Okay so I have been watching some of these old interviews with Thom from around this era. In every one of them, Thom drops at least one lyric from a Radiohead that in that point in time had yet to be released.
It's definitely not flawed. Could it be better? Yeah, probably... but I don't know how, cuz it's already fucking amazing. But sure, I think given enough time most bands could make something a bit better. That being said they could make it worse too.
"take with a pinch of salt, take it to the taxman..." One of my favorite songs on HTTT but I hadn't even thought about it when he said it. Thanks for pointing that out.
It’s so crazy seeing this, grant gee filming the documentary in the background ... then seeing everything they talk about laid out in detail in Meeting People Is Easy.
IDK, he looks pretty comfortable actually, usually he is really uncomfortable. Matt is a great interviewer, though, he seems like a very decent and understanding person.
@@MyBeautifulDarkTwistedFantasy6 thanks! If only I were related to Ed. At the very least we might share an ancestor from a few hundred years ago possibly :p
Amazing how thom is so wary of ppl esp reporters,and just feels as if he doesn't fit in,yet he needs the danger of new material on tour or he gets bored,and I strangely (or not) relate,wanting to so abc so ppl notice then immediately feeling insecure that the praise is somehow undeserved.
I love the meeting people is easy version. Crazy synth tones on that. The lyrics printed on the back of the dvd imo are better than the man of war version. More sinister.
He says that the other interview Thom did was Space Ghost - but the Thom Yorke episode of Space Ghost came out in 2001 - did they sit on it for that long, or is there another Thom Yorke Space Ghost appearance that I didn't know about?
I think he's not trying. As a matter of fact he might be, or have been at the time. Judging from what they're saying at the beginning and their private jokes throughout the whole interview...
YruamaZepol Matt Pinfield is a notorious sycophant, watch any of his interviews, he acts the same way in all of them. I remember one where he was practically drooling over Alanis Morissette and she looked totally uncomfortable.
He was born with a paralysed eyelid, not sure what the medical term is. Had a good few operations as a young kid to fix it but it never quite got there
@@monty0289 his eyelid was shut when he was born. When he was young one surgery was botched and left it like that, he chose to keep it that way because he felt it made him different.
I love how Thom is both shy and guarded, yet incredibly open and honest at the same time.....
"It was OK." -Thom Yorke summing up OK Computer 3:11
Every Thom interview pre-Amnesiac be like "Right. It's all, like... bollocks"
Honestly 😂

Thanks, Thom.
bravo thom
I feel better about my slow artistic output knowing that they took over a decade to feel okay enough about Nude to put it on an album.
And now True Love Waits... 21 years...

“Take it with the love it’s given”
OK Computer might appear flawed to the people that made it, but not to me, man... It's flawless. Great interview.
Spencer Vik one of my favorite albums.

I find perfection in imperfection if that makes sense
Here here!!! I totally agree!! ( ps get the, [here here] not {there there}).
Most, if not all creators will always feel iffy about their work, even on their most critically (and commercially) loved.
He was severely depressed after the recording of OK Computer.
It's funny now, to watch Thom kind of just floating through most of 1998 and trying to do the best he can.
"Take it with the love that is given."
Wolf at the door lyric, anyone catch that?
Yes definitely
"take with a pinch of salt, take it to the taxman..."
One of my favorite songs on HTTT but I hadn't even thought about it when he said it. Thanks for pointing that out.
+zanai torney marry me
first thing that came to my mind. nice call
“ your life flashing before your eyes”
this has definitely something related with packed like sardines in a crushed tin box
he doesnt need an intervier just let him make facial expressing and dances (120 mins) to get the same information
Matt does a great job relating to thom a coaxing some good answers out of him. The two seem to actually get on a personal level too. Great interview
I forgot people used to be that good at interviewing musicians. I fucking miss those days.
It’s so crazy seeing this, grant gee filming the documentary in the background ... then seeing everything they talk about laid out in detail in Meeting People Is Easy.
I'm not sure but I think Matt Pinfield is there with Thom Yorke of Radiohead
IDK, he looks pretty comfortable actually, usually he is really uncomfortable. Matt is a great interviewer, though, he seems like a very decent and understanding person.
“Take it where the love is given” he says someone said it to him that day, 5 years later it was in Wolf at the Door
My jaw fell when he said it
he is so pookie bear
take it where the love is given take it with a pinch of salt take it to the tax man
You can tell right away in this interview that Thom was not in a good place here. He seems disempowered by his own fame.
Brendan Taylor yeah, plus throw in depression and you've got a lot to fight, ik
Wow. THE interview from meeting people.
Sometimes I think about the demise of the universe via heat death and get sad that Radioheads music will disappear completely
1:39 "You take it the way it's given. That's what someone told me to do."
Stipe, maybe.
poor Thom he looks beyond exhausted here.
Thom from 1997-1999 was super jaded and depressed.
1:48
Take it with the love it’s given, take it with a pinch of salt, take it to the taxman.
The guy on the right looks like Frank Black. and the guy on the left looks like Thom Snorkel
I think Thom calls this guy when he need ideas for lyrics or song titles
The track they’re talking about at 6:47 was Big Boots, now called Man of War.
Thom Yorke always makes me laugh
When the interview started I was wondering why Phil looked fatter than usual.. And then I realized that that was the interviewer. LOL
It's actually Clive before he went on a diet.
OmG inlove the comment section 😩😂😂😂😂😂
damn you really did him like that, haha
Nice last name
@@MyBeautifulDarkTwistedFantasy6 thanks! If only I were related to Ed. At the very least we might share an ancestor from a few hundred years ago possibly :p
Best musician of the last 25 years. Yeah, I know thats a bold statement, but I stand by it.
The biggest critic of the artist is the artist themselves
I would love to hear this version of airbag that sounds like Joy division, that Thom referenced
yeah was trying to find that too
wow, mtv used to interview . . . . artists??
Wow is this the interview from meeting people is easy?!
+evildead2002 indeed it is.
In fact I think what Grant is filming in the background is what you see in the movie
"I don't have an eye for it" 12:40
thank you so much for this upload! xoxo
they did an mtv interview just a year before this, he was so much livelier and happy . glad he was able to recover from touring ok computer

"Take it with the love its given" he said a line from Wolf at the door
To the absolute contrary! My channel wouldn't be what it is without people like you.
interviewer is more shy than yorke
Big Boots, more than 20 years later = Man of War
1:07 "Your life flashing before your eyes" Packt Like Sardines In A Crashed Tin Box(?)
take it with the love it's given
It seems that Thom never took out those brown trousers throught the whole ok computer era...
Eri Galarraga Montes You've never done that before, wearing a pair of pants for a couple of month's? you buy 2 pair's and you clean them every week.
Always wearing something blue as well
ONLY THOM YORKE WOULD SLAG OFF A TV SHOW HE'S CURRENTLY APPEARING ON
+Alex Pack yeah its a lot cooler than when Kanye's slag off
take it with the love that is given - wolf at the door
he literally says “I might be wrong”
Grant is filming for meeting people is easy here.
I can't believe they turned down using an early version of Man Of War in the Avengers soundtrack (6:45 - 7:30)
Thom York has terrible social skills, but he's a musical genius.
To be fair, this was known to be possibly the hardest time in his life
Spoken like someone who has never toured away from home ;) I think he’s rather polite here actually
Says every introvert
That's nice of you, no thanks needed. =) Enjoy!
this interviewer's voice profoundly creeps me out.
And yet still somehow the least creepy MTV host.
LOLMFG, that opening clip was...experimental!
BIG BOOTS
I love the meeting people is easy version. Crazy synth tones on that. The lyrics printed on the back of the dvd imo are better than the man of war version. More sinister.
21:09
I MIGHT BE WRONG
haha i remember this part from the documentary.
yeah yeah
1:22 - "life flashed before you eyes ... You realise...."
He seems so uncomfortable and a bit annoyed here. He must have hated getting the same questions over and over.
lol Thom Yorke owning MTV in an MTV interview...
So this is where the lyrics of "NUDE" came frpm
1:07 - Daydreaming?!
Packed like sardines
He looks always so tired and weary..
7:27 omg Man of War origin trivia
is big boots man of war? was man of war going to be in avengers?
yes and yes.
He says that the other interview Thom did was Space Ghost - but the Thom Yorke episode of Space Ghost came out in 2001 - did they sit on it for that long, or is there another Thom Yorke Space Ghost appearance that I didn't know about?
the guy always stutters when saying radiohead lol what's up with that
ok where's other 97?
The interviewer seems like he is trying too hard to be thom's friend
I think he's not trying. As a matter of fact he might be, or have been at the time. Judging from what they're saying at the beginning and their private jokes throughout the whole interview...
Bitteulze 11:15 "We've been friends for a long time." he literally says it, you were right
