The first I heard/read of this very concept was in the Jan 1990 issue of Guitar Player Magazine. That issue changed my life, and I hope this video changes lives just the same. This is the way.

I loved that he talked about the cycle of creativity, and how you go through the trough of "this is shit", then "I'm shit". I thought it was only mildly creative people like myself that did that, but if a member of Radiohead can struggle with that then there's hope for everyone. Thank you Ed.

Ed is being quite humble and gracious in this interview as is his nature. Led Zeppelin is no more virtuosic than Radiohead. Radiohead's career has already gone on for many more years than Led Zeppelin's. The magic inherent in Radiohead's songs is more than a match for Led Zeppelin's (and I am a lover of Led Zeppelin's music). Radiohead are masters of emotional virtuosity. Ed is illuminating how various ingredients create the tone-palate of a Radiohead song and this is fascinating.

It's great to hear Ed say: "We didn't know (about gear)..." And it really is true - unless you knew someone older and (musically) wiser in the 1980s or early 90s, you had to rely on what you could only AFFORD to know. Mostly, that meant the odd guitar magazine, which was stuck on either hair metal shredders or SRV blooze clones and was effectively ALL about technique. There really was no way for kids from nowhere to make gear connections outside of knowing brand names: HOW to use gear was rarely discussed, and when it was, casually offhand reference was made to completely unattainable amps, guitars and pedals. Prior to a broader mainstream Internet presence (say, 1995), our knowledge was so severely limited. It's nice to know bands like Radiohead were in exactly the same boat. :)

It honestly seemed like the guitar zeitgeist got stuck on technical proficiency for a LONG time. Not many magazines or publications gave too much individual attention to guitarists who used their instrument as a tool for writing and experimenting for a while.

I never was a big fan of Radiohead, and now I feel GENUINELY sorry and guilty. For not having known a guy who's such humble and wonderful. This guy is the virtuoso of his own thing! And plus, what a pleasant and beautiful voice he has got. I felt like writing down his entire words. So many nice quotes and so inspiring!

I saw the term "music journalism" used in several comments about this episode and I was struck by the accuracy of that. The hour spent watching reminded me of the hours I spent many years ago reading interviews with some of the most creative and innovative artists of the time, when the music magazines like Rolling Stone and NME had writers who, like you Dan & Mick, were able to sit down with the artist and have a real conversation. And it was very special when an artist like Ed O'Brien wanted to talk about how things like truth, honesty, and integrity were important to them in terms of their music, and their lives. Many thanks to Dan & Mick, and a huge thank you to Ed O'Brien, for making this episode one to remember and revisit often.

I love how Ed seems like a genuine guy who just happens to be in one of the dopest bands ever. What a great dude!

As a painter and a huge Radiohead fan, this interview was as relevant to me as it is to any musician out there. So much of what he says inspires me to be brave and confident with my art. And what an genuine and wholesome human being Ed is. Would love to meet him someday. You guys did a wonderful job with this interview.

Holly Moses... Congrats guys. You just keep moving the bar upwards and giving us GREAT content and amazing guests. Thank you sincerely.

A great musician, seems like a great guy, from one of the greatest bands on Earth, and hearing him talk so candidly about insecurity and creation: wonderful. Impeccable interview :D:D:D

Not only is Ed a great guitar player, he's a great singer. He keeps up with Thom Yorke adding great backing vocals, often carrying the tune live, such as Identikit. And plays some great inventive lead lines when Jonny is playing something else, Lotus Flower comes to mind. Watching them live you realize he adds a lot of atmosphere to some tracks, which is brilliant because with Thom and Jonny doing a lot of melody, a third melody could messy things up. So he plays to the song and adds color when needed. A great guy to have in your corner. I can't wait to hear his solo record.

I might cry. It's only an actual bona fide musical genius. First Coxon and now this! Radiohead are the best band in the history of music. Most influential. Most innovative. All the adjectives. Watching Ed (and Jonny and Thom and Colin and Phil and sometimes Clive) make music is one of life's greatest pleasures. Amazing achievement to get him on the show guys. Ok time to watch...

I watch almost all your videos, but this is the first time I’ve gone back to watch it again. Ed is just so humble and so interesting to listen to his thoughts on why we play. It’s about those moments that sweep us away.

Brilliant interview, what a sweet wonderful guy !, so humble and down to earth, thank you boys !

Listening to this interview/chat confirms to me what I’ve thought about Radiohead for a long time (being a massive fan of theirs for more than 20 years)... and that is that Thom Yorke was so lucky to find himself associated with musicians like Ed (and all the others in the band) who ultimately were and are prepared to leave their ego at the door... prepared to push boundaries, upset conventions, do what’s needed to serve the song (or do nothing to serve the song)... and ultimately were prepared to go with him into what is often a weird musical world even when at times I’m sure it was hard, uncomfortable and made them very insecure. But, what I’ve also realised is that I’ve been somewhat missing the point thinking about the others being prepared to go where Thom’s compositions were taking them... Radiohead is clearly a band in the truest sense and without any one of these guys those compositions would sound so very different.

Lovely to hear from Ed. So earnest and straightforward. Fantastic!

What a great episode, thank you! Ed is so cool & humble. I will watch this several times again in future And get more familiar with his music

While this is a pedal show and we all love pedals, this might be my favorite episode of recent. I love bluesbreakers, I love rats, but I think you blokes are really onto something when you have guests on. Everything always circles back to the boards which is great, but Ed talked way more about music and the path, which was a real treat. Thank you Dan and Mick, top notch shit as always.

Man, I love the show every week, but this one was top of the charts. I could listen to Ed talk about his setup, history in music, songwriting process, and other andcdotes for hours and hours on end. My only complaint is 1hr19min wasn’t long enough. Fantastic show.

If you checked your facts, you’d find that they “settled” out of court, which in no way is a conviction. If they truly were guilty, all royalties would go to Albert Hammond and the hollies. They settled on a “songwriting credit”, which means that there is a percentage that is shared. Also, to my ears, they used the same 4 chord progression. If that’s the standard for theft, there are a billion of artists who use a combination of C F G D. There are only so many combinations. You should also maybe chill out and do something better with your time/life than try to prove that everyone is inferior to you.

@@Pyriscent all I'm going to say is that "theft" in music isn't always black and white. Where you draw the line between inspired and copied is subjective. Lawsuits are ALL ABOUT THE MONEY, so using the court of law to interpret art is pretty foolish. No one has ever made anything completely original that is also considered "musical"... just keep that in mind.

I keep coming back to this interview. There is such depth to it. Very inspiring!

Sooooo happy you got him. This is already the best episode by far

i love everything about this thank you so much for making this happen

Hands down, the best TPS in my opinion. So much insight and inspiration. Thanks so much for this!

Definitely will be saving up for one of his guitars!!! Thanks for the philosophic thoughts Ed, it helped with what I'm going through creatively....the war continues....

so good you guys...i had no idea how honestly he talked about his sound....... really enjoyed this

Thank you Ed, thank you Dan, thank you Mick....not just great sounds, but some seriously great advice for future/aspiring/current sound makers. I love this show and it keeps getting better, so for that alone, thank you guys. Cheers

I've lost count of the times I have re-watched this episode, it's just magic and endlessly inspiring. Ed comes across as a truly wonderful and creative person, and so much of what he says resonates with me. Then on top of that Mick and Dan's really honest and genuine reactions, excellent 'interviewing' skills (it comes across as a easy conversation, but I'm aware it takes a lot of skill to pull this off on camera and keep it so natural) and excitement at what Ed is doing just make it joyous to watch. Truly great episode, even 3 years later.

Good lord. I am stunned by how kind, thoughtful, and wholesome all three of these individuals are. ...it's legitimately moving. Thanks for doing what you do, TPS guys, and thanks to Ed O'Brien for sharing his perspective.

What an amazing episode. I loved hearing Ed talk about the music making process. Keep working, don't get too cocky! Wise words. And he's had a bit of success too...

So glad I stumbled upon this- an amazing video. The way in which Ed interacts with music is beyond fascinating to me.
