Old Composer REACTS to Radiohead CREEP Prog Rock Reactions ~ The Decomposer Lounge

[@mikephalen3162]

I realize the band has distanced itself from "Creep," but, man, millions of fans still embrace it.

[@enricoleon_3302]

I may ask why did radiohead distanced itself from creep? What happened?

[@lukipuki9438]

Imperative to recognize that “creep” is from Radiohead’s FIRST album. it’s primitive, but simply put, it’s a brilliant song. Radiohead evolves quickly from album to album. Love your break downs, keep it up.

👀HEY GANG! Ahhh yes, apparently I did a song that was their more mainstream track.

Thanks for the comments and sharing and subbing! AWWWRIGHT!!!🎉🎉🎉

[@Simpobee]

Hehe. The backlash for that song was almost entirely from the band. It's a great song, but it was too popular for the band's liking(!) They hated being "the Creep band", so much that, yes, they stopped playing it for a while. But when I saw them a few years ago, at their spiritual home, the best place in the world, Glastonbury Festival, they played it, with happy faces, and with *gusto*. Jonny Greenwood's guitar was SO beautifully loud, it went through me like a lightning bolt! What a night that was... another highlight was 'Everything In Its Right Place', a strangely put-together song which kinda signalled their transformation away from being totally guitar-based, and into a wider world... And 'Weird Fishes/Arpeggi', probably the best example of Radiohead building and building the layers, and creating that weirdly satisfying feeling in your soul

[@DizKord1600]

Geebz! Your reaction to their song "Lift" is missing from the playlist! Also, you should listen to their song "Reckoner" but not the music video because the audio quality is poor on it.

[@Simpobee]

@@DizKord1600 funny thing fans like you will already know, but... Lift was originally left off of OK Computer, only appearing for the 20th anniversary reissue, in part because the band created it was too anthemic, and would be another millstone around their neck. Like, you guessed it, Creep! haha I do like that song

[@JimNewstead]

I love this song. I know it's not their greatest, and I'm the first to admit it, but there's something so vulnerable and intimate about this. When they recorded this, Jonny Greenwood thought it was a boring song and wanted to sabotage it with the harsh guitar. I'm glad he did!

[@CecilMcW00t]

Jonny brings this song to another level!

[@jessicashenefield1546]

To over-simplify, it's like the guitar is adding angst and maybe a touch of bitter to the semi-self-loathing of the lyrics. Or to swing the pendulum in the other direction, it's the subconscious defying the ideology of being less than another. It hit the scene when I was a teenager and was like the embodiment of that internal teen chaos. Again, uber-over-simplification, and it means something different (and likely similar) to everyone, which is why it got so dang popular. It's so bloody relatable, especially as a teenager in the maelstrom of hormonal upheaval. Still an absolute favorite, but I almost love the PMJ cover better. Admittedly, that might be because I'm in a different life stage than when Radiohead first released it; and because she scats. #squeeforscatting

[@andreneves33]

More self sabotaging like this please ahahahahahah

[@jamiewilson3599]

I always heard it as someone who was barely hanging on through their pain and longing, and the crunch (yeah, it was an attempt to disrupt the song but the band loved it!), was the moment the singer loses his grip and the power of his loneliness breaks out and overwhelms him.

[@stephanelepagnez7209]

Thom absolutely hates this song : he finds it boring and without any interest. I believe they don’t play it often live.

[@4scoreand]

Man, the progression of emotions was great. "So fucking special" a little smirk, the guitar scratch comes in and the look of shock, the guitar goes off and that look of true satisfaction within the soul. That exact progression happened to us all the first time we heard it. I wish I could bottle that feeling.

[@kristinzeiber23]

I know I differ from most Radiohead fans in saying I LOVE this song. I was so pleasantly surprised when they played this as the encore when I saw them in Madison Square Garden, NY. I was IN HEAVEN. I guess this song means more to me than others because I remember hearing it when it was brand new.

[@AkumaAPN]

You gotta check out their live studio recording of the "In Rainbows" album. The program was called "From The Basement," in their producer Nigel Godrich's private studio. In many instances, these single-take recordings were better than the album. (It's a video program.) I would particularly recommend "Where I End" (From The Basement Version).

[@ExileOnDaytonStreet]

They also did one for The King Of Limbs. My favorite cuts from those sessions: - Weird Fishes/Arpeggi - Videotape - Bodysnatchers - Nude - Where I End And You Begin - Lotus Flower - Staircase - Separator - Supercollider

Here to the end and enjoyed all of it. Thanks for continuing to do Radiohead’s amazing catalogue of work. Are you familiar with Talk Talk’s work? Mark Hollis was the lead for the band (sadly passed away in 2019) and their album Spirit of Eden is considered one of the first in the post-rock genre and was also an influence for Radiohead. A good start would be The Rainbow or I Believe In You. Mark had a beautiful melancholy voice and similar style of singing to Thom’s.

A Moon Shaped Pool it's such a beautiful album that its entire worldbuilding deserves an entire and continuous reaction. If you someday want to start doing that sort of thing I hope you listen to AMSP in that way. Thanks for your time sharing with us your knowledge.

How have I never heard that piano at the end before??!! I've been listening to this song since it's release. This is why I love your breakdowns of these songs Geebz because I hear them from a slightly different perspective.

[@heighleybaily8037]

Radiohead just bring so much emotion, it's a joy to listen to, even though many tracks are heavy. I would love to see you react to free spirit (fade out) by them. Enlightening as always jeebz

[@L33PL4Y]

Please do "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi," it's my favorite Radiohead song of all time. Truly peaceful, moving, and beautiful.

[@lroke2947]

I love how you described the drums in the beginning through production. They sorta make you want to check your house.

[@bennyp1883]

Hey Geebz, really enjoy your videos. Always good to see humble, honest sincerity in a review / decomposition. Classy indeed. Also, I would strongly suggest Dollars and Cents from Amnesiac, amazing Radiohead track. In any respect, thanks for your work, and keep them coming :)

[@spydermaker]

Great cover of The Pretenders tune. Originally started in Cleveland, OH. Crissy Hinds....Absolutely stunning...

[@perd.9386]

Hey mister. This was my first react-video on your channel and did just three more. Great choice of music and, as a musician it's awesome to hear your thoughts as a composer. Keep it up.

[@roguemerlin1969]

I scrolled back through your reactions and found Creep. Love that song. I want to introduce you to a new group, Post Modern Jukebox. Scott Bradlee, the piano player, composer and arranger, takes modern pop/rock music and transforms them into 40s, 50s, 60s sounds. You must check out Post Modern Jukebox featuring Haley Reinhart doing Creep by Radiohead or Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes. They will blow you away. They record most of their videos in small studios using a single camera with no cuts and very little production on the back end.

I love to watch your decomposing so much, because you focus so often on guitar and bass. I don´t for some reason. I only hear drums and vocals and then some sound around that. Especially bass is something I never actively hear. That is why it is so nice to watch your videos, because I get to discover parts in songs I actually know for years, but haven´t consciously heard certain details. But until this day, I have to actively search for the bass in every song. Don´t know why.

[@AndrewLakeUK]

This was their first major release, their first major hit. In the UK it was mostly Stone Roses and Happy Mondays at the time. Nevermind had taken over the charts. I was in a band at the time, and this showed us that there was another way. You could be heavy and intermate at the same time. I reviewed it for a fanzine at the time and said they would change the face of music, and they did.

[@DarthMohammedRules]

Another great reaction/breakdown! Thanks! While I'm here, I got a suggestion. I was recently reminded about Spineshank's awesome cover of The Beatles - While My Guitar Gently Weeps. So far, I can't find anyone reacting to that, and I think you're probably THE ONE best suited to do it justice. Best wishes!

[@cornbeltslayer9857]

A classic and a must have song in your life and Korn also covers this one also a great listen!

[@marksummers666]

god that sound is so perfect isn't it? just the best muted chug ever put to tape

[@Geonurd1979]

Thanks for the Radiohead! I think you might appreciate some of their newer songs like Daydreaming and Decks Dark from A Moon Shaped Pool. Beautifully composed songs (in my non-musician opinion). Decks Dark incorporates a beautiful choral element and Daydreaming has some strings, some piano loops. Lovely songs.
