Your ambition makes you look... pretty good here actually

[@jamesnugent5339]

One like was not enough

[@Worstpersonsingular]

Lmao

[@antoniovarela6713]

very gutsy to try an exact copy of this song. extremely well executed, dont think i could have asked for more out of a cover. loved all the attention to detail. vocals were incredible and extremely close, just lovely.

[@ChillTheFuckOutMeditations]

Very well said, Antonio. I was thinking the same thing.

[@SwamSmokey]

As much as I love some of the weird covers that are done on here, it'd be tough to imagine this one any other way. Great job.

[@Casualhoe]

You right dude!

[@maaaps]

I suppose, in summary, you could say you were glad there were, uh... No Surprises?

[@urbanphil0s0phy]

And the end section was epic

[@pendulum1997]

Radiohead covers never easy to get right. This was epic

[@stalwartzero7001]

I guess. The 3rd section was pretty cool but it was very off, vocals were often very off key and the guitar riff was very very off

[@brandonkey181]

@@stalwartzero7001 its barely even a riff, thats the thing. You need a mutronics mutator envelope follower to do Jonny's part.

Pausing at 1:00 to say this is the best like a version since Denzel Curry did Bulls on Parade

[@jacquin8511]

Mate, never a truer word. This popped on my playlist and I was like no, it's not Thom. Wait, is that Thom? No definitely not. Or is it... Could have knocked me over when I saw it was BPM

[@LetsRaZe]

Denzel was probably the best ever, but Tones and I's cover of Forever Young was also high class.

[@Tonellacam]

ok now I got to go listen to that next

[@zacharywoodward8543]

okay first of all, everyone here is extremely talented and the attention to detail is immaculate. that being said...this feels like i’m watching a video of an alternate universe where everyone forgot radiohead existed except these five people, yesterday style

[@arnamthedarkthoughts7224]

I'm in a Radiohead tribute in the UK and we perform this song live around 50 times every year........ We have to stick to how Radiohead do their songs, but I absolutely LOVE this version, which keeps, I believe, the main elements and the changes are spot on. The piano and then drums on 'rain down' are stunning. The guys voice is amazing. The harmonies are to die for. Thanks so much for creating this version. Beautiful.

[@XxgameacexX]

Remember this is all one take, live! What a fucking cover!!!

[@supergranular]

Apart from the musicianship what ties this together is how much they all clearly love the song. Sometimes even good covers come across as a bit of a... chore? These people are feeling themselves.

[@NickThunnda]

Perfect job. The singer really knows how to wring a note out.

[@MichaelVivian]

Holy crap. Epic. I like that they didn't tear it to pieces and rebuild it in a new way. This is a straight up shit-hot cover.

[@tonymorris4335]

I mean... but if I want to hear Paranoid Android the way Radiohead does it exactly... I can listen to Radiohead? A cover like this is really fun to do and play when you're fucking around but I can't see any reason to do this for LAV when I can google the song and see it done by Radiohead almost exactly note for note.

[@FadhilAsyrafi]

The drum arrangement during the "Rain Down" part!! I love it so much!

[@Jept]

That drummer did the song so much justice that 90% of people will overlook. It's criminally well done, those added fills and build up literally makes it. 🔥

[@tomsucksatpiano]

@@Jept yeah plus he played it with so much feel, not too perfect, not too on the grid, just enough sauce imo

[@danmahony8000]

I may be biased being a Radiohead tragic of the last 25 years but this has gotta be in my top 3 like a versions of all time! True musicianship on display from the whole band taking on the Mt Everest of all covers. Well done BPM , bravo!

[@Jept]

Mike Massé the other one ?

[@sofraYT]

Reminder: This is live.

[@Someone89a]

I would rarely recommend anyone to try and cover Radiohead exactly how it sounds on the record - but this is done insanely well - mix is tight and all the performances are top notch and blend so well with the song!!!

[@MsEmJay]

If your ears really want a treat, listen to a mix on vinyl. You can hear every individual texture.

[@3THREEIII]

This. This is the best cover of Paranoid Android I’ve ever seen!!! I don’t know the band but I love them now. So much respect to the original, just the kind of Radiohead covers we love to hear!!

[@StrayasRides]

Legit one of the best pop bands (in the purest sense of the genres) from the last decade, get on their back catalogue. Gem after gem.

[@jacquin8511]

IMMEDIATELY play their back catalogue, starting with Happiness and Surrounding Suburbs!

[@TheAussieGunBunny]

Sometimes, just sometimes, we get an amazing cover that smashes all our expectations. This was one of those occasions.

[@PeterTodd]

F*ck me - what a great cover! The harmonies really lift this above good, but everything else was so tight, what a joy to listen to.

[@globalgourmand]

Live. The sound mixing and execution.... just so impressive. Damn.

[@globalgourmand]

Wish I could here the bassist on "the panic, the vomit," though.

[@simeongrew]

Absolutely nailed it. I was a little worried when I’m saw the title of this.

[@natalyslopez1070]

Same here haha

[@Thediamondduck11]

I was worried as well because I adore the Radiohead original. Very intricate song to cover but they nailed it. One of the best LAV’s of the year.

[@ursascorner4865]

This is a million times better than that Weezer cover 😂

[@tracypalmer5774]

As a massive Radiohead fan and a massive BPM fan, I simply can’t handle this! Spine tingles! Body fuzzies all round!! Perfection! A bliss moment..............

[@jasonstab6453]

Its been a different year with no international acts on Like a Version, but I don't think anything would have come close to BPM, brilliant

[@newlywed070902]

Until you said that there has been no international acts on lav I didn’t even notice. Just goes to show everyone just how much talent we have in the country.

[@sivvansharma3023]

Everytime BPM makes a cover on like a version it is always are hard to perform yet well executed song (vampire weekend, Radiohead) and there own music is very well written and performed. Tight band and one of the best guest on Like A Version in my Opinion

[@DjTommosimmo]

Too bad that that's not exactly true. Of Monsters and Men performed in January.

[@DjTommosimmo]

Benee also in January. (NZ)

[@DjTommosimmo]

Milky Chance in January (Germany)

[@ConBroChillson]

Sometimes the point of a cover is seeing if you can carbon copy it! Everyone always wanking about someone needing to throw in a theremin and a vocal filter for it to be worth listening to. Balls to that, well done! Thanks for the content!

[@nikomahal]

MY thoughts exactly. That's been my issue with a lot of Triple J covers, especially when they talk a loud rocking song and make it too quiet..

[@stribo]

Still had a BPM accent to it. epic!

[@JoshuaPlaysMusic]

Still coming back to this in 2024!!! Two of my favorite bands in one video!!

[@Ragsc]

Brilliant cover. They knocked it out of the ball park.

[@STAG162]

it was ambitious to try the song in its original format, particularly trying to mimic Thom Yorke's higher vocals, which are a lot smoother. but I think the rest of the song they pulled off pretty well. a classic that's not easily replicated.

[@josh5846]

Wow, that title really was terrifying. Best cover of this song I’ve ever heard. Not an easy band to cover. I’m not always sure on BPM but really excited to listen to their new self titled now!

[@peaceofpiety]

That "ooooooo" sounded like the spirit of Jeff Buckley was being channeled in with his gracefullness. Excellent cover! The vocals, backing vocals, and all instrumental participation was superb. To perform a cover of this degree, means these musicians are truly feeling the music of Radiohead, it comes out through this entire performance. Bravo!🎉

[@This_RuthIsOnFire]

Funny you should say, as I have read Thom Yorke was so impressed by Buckley’s vocals after seeing Jeff live at Highbury before recording Fake Plastic Trees.

Bravo! They took a big risk covering such a revered song by such a revered band, but I say they nailed it. Truly beautiful. Most bands make the mistake of playing this one too slow.

to get the parts spot on is one thing but to convey the emotion is another! This is insanely good, the rain down section gave me goosebumps, the drummer adding his own spice gave more dynamic build and the harmonies were beautiful.
