Dave Grohl talking about this performance: "Well I mean, this is a pivotal moment in not only Radiohead’s career but in the history of music, you know, when they made the ‘OK Computer’ record , I honestly felt like that was the beginning of some kind of revolution, musically.. and of course, as a live band... one of the greatest live band of all time.. performing a song that was challenging the audience to join them in this crazy revolution… and Paranoid Android live, it’s not exactly like the record. It’s better because it’s happening. And I really do feel like that record changed the landscape of popular music for years to come. But this particular performance, I remember watching it and thinking like “Oh my God, here we go again! It’s time for another revolution, great!”"

Their reaction is totally understandable, it’s a dreadful song. Radiohead fans are so far up their own arses, it doesn’t matter where you come from, you like it or you don’t, and a lot of people don’t give a shit how good the lyrics are, if it sounds shit, it sounds shit. The fact that Creep is by far the most popular song they’ve performed, (quite rightly), says a lot as most Radiohead fans slag it off, mainly because Thom Yorke stopped liking it, I suspect…

But if you enter either of them expecting to hear a standard 3-minute pop song, you'd be very confused. I wonder if it's just that if you are already familiar with either song, it's become normalised to you? "Obviously" that's how it goes.

In fact, I think you should listen to the bends, then listen to ok computer. And maybe then you'll get it?

My suggestion to you, as listeners coming to Radiohead from "Creep", is to check out something from their second album "The Bends" as I think this is too big a leap, especially with the unusual structure. "Just" has long been one of my favourites, great video, too, and songs like "Fake Plastic Trees" and "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" are also among their classic stuff.

Radiohead started as an indie band on their first album but then their sound progressed and developed incredibly quickly so a lot of the time listeners found their music inaccessible at first but then got into it later.

You should have listened to something from "The Bends" it's their easiest album to get into. I had never heard a Radiohead song before 2021 and I was absolutely floored by The Bends and then I heard Ok Computer, Kid A, In Rainbows & A Moon Shaped Pool which are all amazing albums but, are very different from each other. Paranoid Android has become maybe my favorite song ever but I was initially confused the same way you guys were. 6:03 Also I love how he says "we aren't taking anything away from Creep" because Radiohead and their fanbase despise that song. It's basically a joke at this point. And those "dolphin noises" are the main character of Paranoid Android dissenting into madness.

Love you fellas but this is simply above your head musically guys. When you have top classical musical scholars calling it genius, think it says it all.

Think that was about the fall of the roman empire. Not really a good jumping in point for Radiohead! Just like the Blur one wasn’t. Prog rock my friends, a concept album foreshadowing the 21st century and where technology would take us, songs with more than 4 chords, time signatures other than 4/4… they had balls to release that after the hugely successful Bends album which you’d probably enjoy more. Despite being prog rock this album was even more successful but they had even bigger balls to mostly drop the guitars and release an even more experimental follow up album and another masterpiece. They’ve got at least 3 under their belt (OK Computer, Kid A, In Rainbows). They don’t sit still like many of the bands you have on here, they push boundaries. Lets be honest, Oasis made a couple of good records that resonated but they sound like a pub band musically compared to these guys

One of the greatest bands ever! You mis-understand the lyrics and art, I think

Loving music and having such a reaction at Radiohead is like watching a Kubrick movie and saying it sucks. It means that your opinion is not relevant (nothing personal, you also seem nice)

Radiohead's "life in a glasshouse" performance on jools is epic, as is "There there" the one with greenwood and ed o'brien playing additional drums also "myxomatosis" live from the basement, Karma police is epic. The song paranoid android is a reference to "hitch hikers guide to the galaxy".

That guy claims to be a musician, then says "the lyrics were trash" 😬 guys you're showing your ignorance and lack of musical depth and understanding.

😂 I'd stick to Oasis if I was you boys. Basic Rock n Roll more your thing...

When your emotional intelligence is so low you giggle at it like a 10 year old.

One of the great TV performances ever… oh well never mind

I think this is the wrong song to go into straight after Creep. Radiohead are unlike any other band in the sense that they have never made more than two albums in the same style. I'd recommend Fake Plastic Trees, Just, High and Dry, My Iron Lung, Sulk, Street Spirit all from the second album (Any song but follow from left to right. Street Spirit is probs the best song but also one of the least accessible. Maybe you could try Karma Police and No Surprises as they are the most accessible songs on the third album. Possibly Let Down also. I'll leave a quick rundown of the styles of each album: (IMHO) Pablo Honey: Indie Rock/Grunge The Bends: 100% Grunge Ok Computer: Experimental / Alt Rock Kid A: Experimental Electronic Amnesiac: More experimental electronic Hail to the Thief: More experimental Alt Rock In Rainbows: Just.. Beautiful. Art Rock maybe. The King of Limbs: Very very experimental percussion. A Moon Shaped Pool: Combines the styles of many of the previous albums. I'd 100% stick to the first 2, 3 at the most. This kind of music is obvs very new to you.

Very accurate depiction kudos to you for that.

A nice reaction. Listen to it again, again and again and you’ll get it. It took me 5 years to get KidA and now it’s my favourite radiohead album. Try, everything in its right place.

I don't understand you guys, this performance is sublime, man, one of the best bands ever, a little of respect

Radiohead is the best!!!!! So Many great songs to explore. First of all. The whole OK computer album is an absolute masterpiece and must have for all music lovers. I recommend pyramid song, All I need, Weird fishes, How to disappear completely, idioteque just to name a few. And of cause the whole Ok computer album 🖤🖤

I can’t believe these guys just described Radiohead as ‘they just make noises’. Wow

I bet these are the kind of guys that yell “Freebird!” at every concert…

- What are we listening? - A fucking MASTER PIECE. After Pink Floyd, Radiohead is the only band capable of such rich sounds, complex compositions and dreamy/hypnotic sounds. The only difference is Radiohead is not a guitar solo's band. I love Radiohead because I love Pink Floyd. In my Top 3 of Greatest British Bands of All Times.

Tool are another band on the same level as Radiohead and Pink Floyd if you don't know them I recommend listening to 10,000 days or Lateralus

@@jamehofmann5855 I just started to get into Tool the last year and a half after seeing them on so many Radiohead threads I had to check them out I had a bad taste in my mouth from trying out Muse because people kept comparing them to Radiohead and I was not feeling it. I have since come to appreciate Muse even though I would not put them in the same league as RH.

You’ve GOTTA listen to Karma Police. Other good Radiohead songs are No surprises, Street Spirit, Fake Plastic Trees 👍

Bloody loved that. Made me laugh out loud how you just don't get anything abstract. Appreciate the honesty! Great stuff.

One of the best songs of all time from a genius singer songwriter, thom Yorke what a guy!!! Bloody love Radiohead!!! The 90s were the best!!!

Well I dont know why you laughed at the "yayayaya" of Thom Yorke, I know I didnt. Because it was just adlibing vocally, thats just freedom and creativity and grooving. it was nothing wrong. You just dont know how big this song is. He's singing about a crazy situation thats why the adlibs were crazy as well. Its the whole thought of the song that you dont get yet. Paranoid Android is a serious big ecentric/ecclectic hit.

So I dont have any problems with any crazy ass sound that Thom makes cos I know this is a dead serious song and I know he's singing about a crazy ass situation people get into. Paranoid Android is an incredible art of a song.

@@zogwort1522 so you're saying you just laugh off at these crazy sounds? and destroyed you're whole listening experience to songs like these?

Paranoid android ? Voices in his head and a troubled mind full of confusion. I wouldn't bother doing anymore radiohead because you just don't get it guy's.

This is one of the more mainstream Radiohead songs. You guys just aren't ready.

As a fan of Radiohead I'm actually looking forward to you guys doing another radiohead review.

You Philistines! 😄😄😄 This is one of the best songs from one of the greatest album's of all time (OK Computer) 😁

I was absolutely obsessed with this performance when I watched it live on TV at the time, and this is my favourite Radiohead tune. I think the jump to this from Creep is too big though, if that's your reference point. Try Just, Bones, Sulk, Black Star - essentially anything from The Bends album, before coming back to OK Computer for Karma Police. Then you can try their electronic music. 😄

So sad just listening to your reaction.. it is just sad!

Hahaha! I LOVE radiohead but this is maybe my favourite reaction of any song ever! The fact that the only song of radiohead you guys knew was Creep and that your second listen was the jump to this only makes it better. I loved the fact that two minutes into the song you were both in hysterics and then as the song progressed you moved onto looks of appreciation at the guitar work(Jonny Greenwood is one of the best British guitarists of his generation btw) to looks of confusion, pain and sheer bewilderment. It was a delight to watch. Honest reactions are so much more enjoyable than pretending to like something you don't just to please the poeple watching. I would say though that it's such a huge leap going form Creep to Paranoid Android. Creep is representative of their first album(Pablo Honey) but is entitely unrepresentative of everything else they have done. The follow up album (The Bends) is a a step forward in style and then its a huge step forward to their third album(O.K Computer) which is where Paranoid Android is from. On top of that, Paranoid Android is their most 'challenging' song on the album so to go from Creep to Paranoid Android without anything in between or any kind of warning is an enormous leap. If you're going to give them another try, and personally, I'd love it if you did, maybe have a listen to Fake Plastic Trees form the bends. It's a great song but isn't out there like maybe P.A is. The lyrics are much easier to understand too. you could also try My Iron Lung, Just or Street Spirit(fade out) form the same album. If you want to go further into O.K computer you could try Karma Police(probably my favourite radiohead song) or No surprises. Or Exit music. Or Lucky. Or... I'd really recommend giving them another try. They're an outstanding band with one of the best and most creative back catalogues of any band in the past 30 years.

Radiohead are one of my absolute favourite bands - I was a teenager in the 90s and maybe what you said was right, everything was on the table, nothing was ‘weird’ and I didn’t even question the fact it was ‘experimental’. They are definitely a band you need to listen to many many times to ‘get it’ and are my go to band for full misery at a deafening volume when you’ve had a shit day. My favourites are Just, Karma Police, High and Dry, Lucky, Reckoner.. and many many others. I’ve seen them live many times and you always come away feeling like you’ve been punched in the face - in a good way. Embrace the misery 🤣

Marvin the Paranoid Android was a character in The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams, which was made into a radio and TV series and eventually a movie. He was depressed rather than paranoid actually, but paranoid rhymes with android. The robot company made him as part of an experimental line with "Real People Personalities (trademark)", and he spent the whole of his existence hating life and being disappointed by everything, and complaining about being given menial robot work because he had "a brain the size of a planet". I don't think the song is about Marvin actually. I just let it wash over me, and treat the lyrics as Impressionist painting with words, a bit like Kurt Cobain's writing.

I love Radiohead, love this track and love this performance. Your reaction was honest, which I also love.

I'm glad you reacted the way you did.. At least you're being honest. So many reaction channels just say everything is the greatest lol

That’s what I call a reaction!😂 I recommend listening to the album version rather than the live one first.👍🏼

ok computer is easily one of the best albums of the past 30 years

You mentioned Rush were unique……well you should check out, their inspiration ‘Yes’ I would suggest starting with ‘Starship Trooper’ then maybe ‘Roundabout’ does anyone else conquer?

I second the guy who commented that you need to listen to The Bends album to appreciate the transition from Creep, which is a decent song, to this song, which is a masterpiece. Radiohead are one of those archetypal bands that "need a few listens". Play the The Bends and OK Computer on a loop a few times and you will realise they are genius. Also, you shouldn't worry about not liking every song. It's better to give an honest reaction. I am highly suspicious of reactors who love every song. However, you need to put your headphones on and listen to the album from start to finish. They are an incredible band.

Thanks for keeping your reactions honest. If you get negativity for not liking Radiohead then you are getting the same reaction some of us got the first time round
