The Smile - behind the scenes - Friend Of A Friend

The silent footage that was streamed before the premiere of Friend Of A Friend. #thesmile #thomyorke #jonnygreenwood #tomskinner #friendofafriend

[@thesadwolf]

For people complaining about "WHERE'S THE SOUUUUUUND?" The original doesn't have sound either. The Smile uploaded this at the beginning of their premiere for a Friend of a Friend music video. It intentionally has no sound because it was shot on most likely a 16mm film camera that has no audio source built in. This uploader downloaded this portion before they (The Smile) removed it from their channel.

I see Thom has entered his fisherman phase.

[@JF-kv1gm]

"Thank you" so much to Thom, Jonny and Tom (and Stanley of course) for spoiling us rotten with the new album AND these visual feasts. We are truly blessed.🙏😍🤗 Thanks for posting!

[@lennardvaarten7791]

Thom looks so happy and at peace these days

[@PlayItAgainThom]

Agreed. Nice, isn't it?

[@afxtwinreverb]

Thx so much for uploading!

Those are awesome stairs. Looks like church stairs. Fun.

[@superokapi5950]

Tom Skinner rushing AND dragging. God damn… 4:46

[@nclsrfn]

thanks for saving this.

[@Meneervdberg]

The Beatles would've been proud!

[@purpura3640]

proud of what? thom yorke turned down Paul McCartney for a collaboration and also Thom has said that the beatles aren't and influence for them

[@Meneervdberg]

@@purpura3640 Well Ed O'Brien and Jonny Greenwood have said to be influenced by The Beatles. Bit of the rest too, even Thom.
Nigel Godrich produced Paul McCartney's Chaos And Creation In The Backyard. Ed O'brien told Paul McCartney during a facecall, that the band is influenced by many alongside The Beatles and they are all deepdown Beatle-fans.

THANK YOU SO MUCH 😭

Play 'Friend of a Friend' while watching this, it's perfect, and it doesn't have to sync at all. 👍

[@connorm1817]

Wow, I put the audio to this video and uploaded it onto my channel and it works perfectly!!!

TGHANK YOU 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@iffiest.]

still can't get over the premiere, so lucky i got the get extra seat confirmation, cool experience

[@gonufc]

Not a surprise that this album has some real Beatle-ey bits to it if it was another trip to Abbey Road!

[@superokapi5950]

Thom at 1:54

[@rupert.secuta]

Are these images shot in 16mm? They have a great look

[@Infandouss]

Yeah looks like 16, which I guess explains the silence too

[@finestrellacaustica]

Surely it's time to start aging Johnny, don't you reckon?

[@kida3168]

Honestly who does he think he is wearing that young trendy necklace - Jonny Greenwood or something?

[@NeG-the-real]

Ya pas de son, no sound in the video

[@PlayItAgainThom]

If (and when hopefully) Radiohead get back together for new material, I'm going to feel sorry for Tom being left out 😢

[@hughgrection5674]

I feel equally sorry for those who think it will happen 🥲

[@michaelgreene4816]

​@@hughgrection5674Why?

Anyone know if PTA shot this?

[@ColinBeirne]

He wasn’t credited at the screening I went to (but was on everything else) so I imagine not

Abbey Road studio 2!

[@baumstamp5989]

i can see clearly now

[@santiagonahuelbeyer2072]

Vi la miniatura y pensé que era el Ricky ediciónes

[@mattdylan664]

It's an improvement over anything they've done since 2003...but John Cage did it better with 4'33

[@michaelgreene4816]

Is Radiohead cooked?

[@Barcles_G]

1:56 getting the Thom Yorke: “Yeah that’s the absolute shi*t!” head nod and grimace means you know you done good. Real good. Great in fact.
Yeah

[@DylanHernandezRamirez]

Están en Abbey Road?

[@vitormatiasjr]

Si!!!!😊

[@DylanHernandezRamirez]

@@vitormatiasjr Vaya... Lo reconocí de inmediato por las escaleras a dónde "solo podían subir los adultos", wao soy un pro. 😎

[@DylanHernandezRamirez]

@@vitormatiasjr También eso explica porque Friend a Friend suena como A Day in the Life. Me preguntó porque Thom no quiere colaborar con Paul, sabiendo que Paranoid Android se inspiró en Happines Is a Warm Gun no cabe duda, y que Karma Police imita a Sexy Sadie no me cabe duda que los 4 fabulosos lo influenciaron... Será porque en realidad es team John o porque sabe que Paul es un impostor? (Estoy jodiendo) 😎 Vaya que mal si hasta comparten el mismo productor...

[@CoxJul]

Yep - studio 2 with the stairs up to the control room.

[@andreegendron]

ZUT no sound???

[@supergranular]

"The silent footage"

[@literaticrux8292]

It's like a silent shout.

[@yogijager]

16 mm

[@spike8683]

I would love to hear Thom's views on current world events, I'm sure he would have some great ponderings

[@alfredschaffer2755]

Sound is overrated.
