    First. I am 43. I grew up in metal, changed to grunge, then found radiohead, and everything changed for me since then. I started writing songs in the 90s based on guitar songs like radiohead. Most of them back in the day sounded like radiohead! Like you said, if you try to get close to them, you’ll be ripping them off haha🤣

    It’s actually ended sounding very Beatles-esq. I wonder if the Beatles had formed in the 90s whether this how they would have sounded. Plus it goes to show you can’t really pull off psychedelia with referencing them! Unless of course you ARE Radiohead, which I guess is their genius🤷‍♂️

    There is some truth in the hater comments, but they're just being dicks for the most part. The production quality is very professional, it sounds more like an interpolation rather than a (styled song). It's difficult to balance on the thin line of inspired and interpolation for a record like OK, it's just far too distinct I think playing in the same key and using the a similar chord progression is what broke the immersion for me. You can get away with using the drum loop though, it mostly dictates rhythm rather than sound which is what you were trying to imitate.
    P.S
    No I cannot do better than you man you are leagues above me in instruments, I just really like music.

    I came up with the chord sequence:

    Ab
    Do you think this reminiscent of Radiohead?

    • @douglaspantz
      @douglaspantz Рік тому +1

      I believe C-Am-Ab is the main progression in true love waits, and C-Eb is the start of the just progression, so yes, it’s probably radioheadesque

      to everyone replying, its not that its a "demo" or that he composed the thing himself. It just sounds like Subterranean Homesick Alien, not OK Computer style. If someone heard that, they wouldnt think "Radiohead style" they would think that he just copied Subterranean. Which is true.
      The problem isnt how it sounds, its that its just Subterranean Homesick Alien.
