Look at the lyrics to this song, it was written about their song Creep. And about exactly what you said, Creep gave them their fame but they were not happy with how it was the song that was keeping them alive. They left Creep out of their live sets for many years.
Indeed Thom isn't necessarily a vocal virtuoso but I can't think of another singer that sings with as much emotion, for example nobody could cover 'Nude' and it give you goosebumps like Thom does. The Live From The Basement sessions are a must watch especially if you prefer to see bands playing live.
I remember seeing Radiohead,first time, 1995 as a 16 year old in Norwich (East England), in a small venue of about 700 people, going absolutely. Fucking. Mental to this
Oh man, if you're starting out with knowing only Creep then strap on, you're in for a wild ride. Remember the feeling when you were just discovering King Gizzard? Yeah, that, but very different, but still somewhere in the spectrum of that feeling.
The Bends is my favourite and In Rainbows. They love hate Creep also. I don't think they play it anymore. But love that it put them on the map and gave them the money to do make the music they want.
@@ericzar4470 Merry Christmas to you too brother. Don't mean to give off the wrong impression, I just think of the albums to all be their own experiences start to finish, and would love to see these guys check them out
Or the very under rated Hail to the Thief . I've been listening to that a lot recently and thought this would have been the album to release after Ok Computer and before Kid A as it seems to be the missing link between styles.
You could argue Creep pushed them to distance themselves from it and really grow in their songwriting. If you want Radiohead as a guitar band, go for 'The Bends'. Great album.
Just a word on some of their life performance, Thom Yorke does have a tendency to sing the songs in a different way to the way they were recorded. I think it's probably cuz he gets bored of singing the older songs
I think you guys are making a big mistake, with not listening to the studio albums first ! You are missing out on the little subtleties in there music. Unless you just like head banging stuff. And yes you were right some people are drawn to the Peter Gabriel version of Genesis ,that love Radiohead.

This is our new song
Just like the last one
A total waste of time
My iron lung.
Amazing
The Bends is a truly great album, with many excellent songs on it, yet it's about 6/9 as far as ranking their albums. That's how good they are.
I’m sure everyone has said this, bc it’s true, do the “From the Basement: In Rainbows” sessions. Top tier. Top. Tier.
Definitely do How to Disappear Completely next, preferably the studio version , but if not, the "live at Canal Plus 2001" video on UA-cam is great

Radiohead- IN THE BASEMENT!!!!!
I remember seeing Radiohead,first time, 1995 as a 16 year old in Norwich (East England), in a small venue of about 700 people, going absolutely. Fucking. Mental to this
I have seen them at least 5 times and I noticed they amp up the energy from their studio recordings at their live shows.
Need to check out their live set “from the basement” for the album In Rainbows.
You can see them live in a recording with their various "In the Basement" series. The In Rainbows session in particular is beloved.
My Iron Lung is a direct response to Creep. "This is our new song. Just like the last one. A total waste of time. My Iron Lung."
The Expanse and Radiohead reactions. Two of my favorite thing on this planet. Subscribed.
❤️🤟🙏📻👱♂️
Haha. I made the same comment on another video. Why do the Expanse and Radiohead go so well together? I have a friend who is also a huge fan of both.
Would love to see you guys react to Sigur Rós. Songs like Untitled 4 and Untitled 8, as well as Glosoli or Kveikur would be awesome.

Thom Yorke hates the song "Creep"
Someone needs to just recommend a whole album to them, either Ok computer or kid a.
@@ericzar4470 wish I could but really not in the budget. I just hope someone does before they hear a ton of single songs

You need to give Creep another go because its brilliant.
You could argue Creep pushed them to distance themselves from it and really grow in their songwriting. If you want Radiohead as a guitar band, go for 'The Bends'. Great album.
Awesome reaction!
Grasshopper
he changed the lyrics here from the original “if you’re frightened you *can* be frightened”, to “if you’re frightened you *should* be frightened”
What a banger of a song... was lucky enough to watch this live. You should listen to the studio version tho or an earlier version.

I was expecting their young performance for this song. Like the previous video. But, it's okay.
Cool reaction, should react to bloom live version on Stephen Colbert show
Genre - radiohead
its not the opening track from The Bends!
True, it was the first single (from The Bends) though
Also react to in rainbows live from the basement
Please react to The Smiths - Please Please Let Me Get What I Want
