Videotape | Radiohead | From The Basement

[@jfmgunner]

Ed Obrien's contribution to the live version of this song is subtle but crucial to it's massive emotional weight. Masterful on those guitar pedals.

[@ilyap3011]

So true

[@smarroy]

when you see them live it is impossible to overstate how much he contributes to the band - so many of the little touches and flourishes that take their songs from great to transcendent come from him

[@ggthewhale]

I feel like non-music playing Radiohead fans really don't understand his contributions to the songs and the Radiohead sound in general. EOB is a texturizer, a sound artist who uses his pedals and effects like an artist uses paintbrushes and colors

I can't forget that day I was sad depressed and self disgusted I just didn't had the courage to end myself so listened to this song the whole day it was raining like sky wanted a piece of earth that day.
That was 4 years ago and I'm alive.
This song makes me connect to my inner reality and that's the beauty of radiohead's music it makes you feel so vulnerable and yet you feel something so powerful and ethereal.

When I'm at the pearly gates
This'll be on my videotape, my videotape
Mephistopheles is just beneath
And he's reaching up to grab me
This is one for the good days
And I have it all here
In red, blue, green
Red, blue, green
You are my centre
When I spin away
Out of control on videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape
This is my way of saying goodbye
'Cause I can't do it face to face
I'm talking to you before
No matter what happens now
You shouldn't be afraid
Because I know today has been
The most perfect day I've ever seen

These From The Basement sessions are absolutely spectacular (and without a doubt my favourite Radiohead album), but Videotape in particular is just... immaculate. I haven't listened to these songs in many years and now I find myself returning to them over and over. I've changed a lot in this time, but these songs haven't and that gives me a beautiful perspective. I just love them. I love music.

The Beatles si son mejores, eso no tiene debates, que te guste Radiohead por gusto personal eso no interfiere en la historia. Y yo soy fanático de ambos grupos.

[@jorgekech]

nah musicalmente y liricamente Radiohead es mejor, Los beatles tienen la ventaja de tener el peso de la historia por lo cual siempre tendran el reconocimiento de ser la mejor banda de la historia pero si hablamos en lo estrictamente musical hay bandas que han sido mejores uno de ellos es Radiohead , otra es King Crimson @@CarlitosBaldosa

[@CarlitosBaldosa]

@@jorgekech no hables sobre tus gustos porque es una opinión subjetiva la tuya, nadie está al nivel de The Beatles, su contribución en la música marcó un antes y después no solo en el rock sino en toda la música, la cultura y la sociedad, están muy por encima y siguiendo siendo los mejores a nivel mundial, todos sus discos, canciones, y sencillos están entre los más tops, en cada cosa que hicieron eran únicos y no repetían receta con cada disco, sencillamente revolucionaron el mundo, son insuperables por diferencia, los demás grupos siguen un legado de ellos mismos y son una gran influencia de generación en generación además abrieron las puertas a todos los músicos del Reino Unido porque en USA todavía nadie de allí lo miraban con mucha relevancia.

[@jorgekech]

y no te das cuena que tu opinion tambien es subjetivay la forma como hablas de los beatles me dice que eres un fanboys poco objetivo.. que si los beatles marcaron un anties y despues pero musicalmente Radiohead los supero en todos los aspectos, tanto como musical y lirico solo jhony greenwood ha sido mejor musico que todos los beatles combinados @@CarlitosBaldosa

[@CarlitosBaldosa]

@@jorgekech mi opinión no es subjetiva, es lo que dicta la realidad sobre los Beatles como grupo, y mi forma de hablar tampoco dice nada que no sea verdad sobre ellos, eres tú el fanboy dolido que recurre a ad hominem porque no tiene otra cosa que argumentar más que su fanatismo. Con lo que respondiste declaraste tu claro y pobre fanboyismo de Radiohead pero tristemente eso solo está en tu cabeza, en materia practica y realidad quienes son y fueron los pioneros, más exitosos e influyentes, son los Beatles, así de sencillo, sin Beatles no hay Radiohead, una pena que un grupo tan bueno como Radiohead tenga fanáticos tan amargados y resentidos como tú.
