Paranoid Android - Acoustic Cover - Radiohead

[@RhinestoneLover]

Just not understanding why this doesn’t have millions of views. THIS. IS. AMAZING.

[@MatteoPauselli]

thanks for the kind words

[@langezeit6926]

exactly!

[@JanEikeK]

Agreed. This is just THE version in acoustic solo of this song. The complexity you inferred makes it be so much more than it was. This as a band-arrangement would just smash the original into oblivion (even more!) imho.

[@aprichman]

It’s pretty good but some parts seem like they don’t really capture the spirit of the song.

[@dhananjayyerme3655]

Cause thats not how the world works my friend Quality stuff is always rare and only for a selected group Amazing cover dude!

[@theguy2227]

Dude's just holding those major chords with his pinky. That's pretty badass, not talking about double-stroking. The best cover of Paranoid Android omg

[@MatteoPauselli]

Thanks for watching!

[@caloc8593]

Haven't seen anything like that on an acoustic... Dude is dope af

[@MrStufflebean]

Jesus this is how paranoid android is meant to be on acoustic-----amazing wrk!

[@MrSals123]

Legendary cover. You integrated the entire band on one instrument.

[@Geege____]

This needs some more praise, probably the best cover I've seen

[@fulstop8871]

agreed. Check out Simon Daniels' version of Weird Fishes for another fantastic accoustic RH cover.

[@claycollins9650]

Vocals and guitar are nothing short of exceptional.

[@MatteoPauselli]

Thanks for the kind words! Come by my channel tomorrow, I'll be releasing a new Radiohead cover for Karma Police :)

[@clarkstewart8960]

I would gladly die if I could play this cover as good as this! Your life is fulfilled!!

[@alexlun4464]

not the one with most views, but even youtube algorithm knows this is the best cover

[@JackMorgan06]

If the algorithm knew that then it would have the most views

[@joeking433]

Considering he only has 1.45k subscribers it's pretty good!

[@alexlun4464]

@@JackMorgan06 the algorithm put it on the top 3 results when I searched for paranoid android cover

[@samueo7033]

i was with my guitar in hands watching this and of course i couldn't leave this guy alone without the ending backing vocals

0:29 OMG, that note was beautiful. You are such a talented man! :)

[@MatteoPauselli]

Thank you for the kind words.

[@ojuanitomarques]

yes it sir, is the best cover of this song, extremes emotions are captured of the song, a great work from Brazil!

[@arjunrajan9374]

11 years late but abolutely beautiful!!

[@aravindsrinivasan2295]

Simply the best, can't believe this came out 13years ago, thanks youtube!

[@abifsnad]

Two years later, this still fking awesome

[@chrisburger2467]

Dude... That was absolutely INCREDIBLE. Amazing work.

[@MatteoPauselli]

Thanks so much!

[@Rapter57]

Hands down the best cover of this song I’ve seen on KZbin

[@cskhard]

Best cover of this song so far! Congrats man,sounds awesome!

[@devabicer6571]

Check out adjective saint

[@grovatron]

I listen to this performance practically everyday, fantastic job!

[@gabeknowlton5351]

ive been playing this wrong for years, you filled all the gaps. And you have an incredible voice. somehow found two of the best radio covers in one night from people i didn't know. super talented.

[@gabeknowlton5351]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3rKpZWsi8qhhK8 incredible numbers cover

[@rushaich2519]

No, this is being played incredibly wrong, i’m telling you with 100% knowledge (no hate to the creator)

This is a really good cover , maybe the best. A shame so few people have seen .

[@Gianniss83]

That is my first ever comment on a KZbin video, after having watched hundreds of thousands of videos. Never thought there is a need to comment on anything. But mate, that was so beautiful, congratulations, well done, dunno what to say, I am speechless. I started playing guitar 8 months ago, and I love Radiohead so I am captivated by your skill set. I’ll check more of your videos now!

[@MatteoPauselli]

I really appreciate the kind comment. That's great you started playing guitar! Practice a little each day if you can and keep it fun. I hope to watch some videos of you playing one day :)

[@gasolinehorsey]

Absolutely outstanding, you play with an incredible mix of dexterity and conviction. Might even be better than my all time favourite KZbin cover where the fella nails QOTSA's In the Fade with his jacket on like he's just thought of knocking off a quick cover before he pops down to the shops.

[@k41inl]

i go back to this video a couple times a month. its honestly my fav

[@marianacosta3314]

Best acoustic cover of Paranoid Android by a mile

[@appleshampew]

Entire bands struggle to cover this song and get the message/sound across. You do it with just an acoustic. Amazing. Great cover. I've listened/watched this many times over the years and doubt this is my first or even second comment on this vid lol

[@chrisc7265]

when you sing, "the panic, the vomit, the panic, the vomit", it hits me in a way the original doesn't could tell you were really feeling this one

[@oscarvanvelsen7565]

This video had a mere 6K views and "despite" that I checked it out. No idea why it has so little views, this guy is fuckin spot on from melody to atmosphere to voice. Props

[@Xaviaan]

I pulled several muscles just watching this.....wow....

[@sebastjanperejro2744]

It seems Thom York studied the song Paranoid Android from this video)) You're really cool, man! Thanks a lot for a brilliant playing!

[@derdadonmez6332]

This video proves that talent means nothing for our century.

[@joshuamarshall7360]

*I 100% agree with you on that one.*

[@samuelolivier3792]

Derda Dönmez yeah not like this is a cover, and covers only get popular when being done by famous people. And I can name tons of good artists this century like 65daysofstatic, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Arcade Fire, Elephants in A Cage, Billie Eillish gets too much hate for what her music is in my opinion, Kendrick Lamar, Explosions in the Sky, Muse, Lana Del Ray This Will Destroy You, Arctic Monkeys, Gorillaz, The StrokesThe Microphones, F ing Radiohead, Hozier and MF Doom are a few of the great artists this century in my opinion.

[@derdadonmez6332]

​@@samuelolivier3792 Ofcourse there are a lot of good artists in our century.I guess you missunderstood me my friend.I saw too many trash people shows themselves as artists which make me upset.With a good advertising this guy could be another super star.What Im trying to tell here, we cant see who deserve his place and who doesnt.I also play guitar and I know how hard playing and singing alive like this.

[@devabicer6571]

@@derdadonmez6332 performing this song like this is almost impossible

[@ofcatarina]

​@@devabicer6571 This is a great performance, mainly because he really captures the emotion and the main hooks of the song nicely, but if you like a song and play it a lot its actually quite easy to perform by the time its on youtube. This song isn't super demanding if you have good rhythm. I'm pretty confident I can play this song about as well (weird flex), but my friends have heard the not so good version a few hundred times by now. lol The key is practice... and finding new people who aren't sick of hearing you.

[@thebarnineffect]

2024 this guy should be a legend by now. Tremendous work

[@helenelizabeth3472]

replayed this a billion times- amazingggggg!!!!

bro dropped the best paranoid android cover and thought we wouldn't notice 💀

[@elyaphie]

[@Chris-MusicTheoryAndFretboard]

One of my favorites also. I love every cover that anyone does.

[@kirlov69]

guitar was magical, not saying vocals weren't amazing its just that guitar got me :D

[@markmolloy8647]

amazing - simply amazing! everyone mentions the guitar - (which is amazing) but the vocals are top as well!! thank you Matteo!

[@zoedoran164]

This is Like insanely good

[@MatteoPauselli]

Thanks for the kind words. I try to play every day. It's hard though with a family with 2 young kids :)

[@CygnusFloydian]

Holy fuck I cannot believe what I have just seen. I have watched 100s of covers of different songs online but none was as intense as this.

[@ajbeaudry9056]

This just might be the greatest cover i've ever heard

[@MatteoPauselli]

Really appreciate the kind words :)

[@rwmccann]

This is a great cover. Hard to play this song by yourself and capture all the feel and beat tempo of it without it sounding like it’s missing something. Kudos 🤟

[@galinettegali5981]

Magnifique version acoustique ! Quelle belle maîtrise de ta guitare et de ta voix !

[@pacman9403]

Absolutely epic! The best acoustic version I’ve ever seen. 🔥🔥👍🏼

[@damianofonti]

Stunning

[@gurleyz]

I love Radiohead, but you outdid even them with their own song dude! Pretty rare to say the least. Simply epic.

[@simpleben77]

perfection

[@xanticityx7419]

I cheered you on at the build up at 5:10. I knew you could do it ❤

[@jaebdk]

Absolutely spectacular, man. Inspirational levels of love and skill on display here - thank you for sharing 🙏

[@MatteoPauselli]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@hershey9399]

My favorite part of this song besides the initial melody is when the repeat of 'from a great height' happens at 4:52 and 5:22, just such a beautiful end to a chord progression that then repeats in a somewhat unsettling way

[@elijmzbhk6623]

Best Paranoit Android cover I've heard so far!

[@_umcaracomum]

EXTRAORDINÁRIO! 🇧🇷
