Poor Jonny, at the end when Thom and Colin walk off you can see how upset he is with himself; he wrote this awesome beat on an impossible machine (to your average joe), and of course sometimes it won't work. It's really nice to see that Colin's still upholding his promise to his mother to take care of little brother, even just that little affectionate messing with Jonny's hair would've at least made him realise that it was ok, don't worry about it little bro, there's always next time.

There's no denying that, when Radiohead went more electronic, it made a big impact.

They're only human and let's be honest this is probably the thousandth time they've played this live. You're bound to get it wrong 1 out of 100 and it's a very difficult song for Jonny even if he is a musical genius. I'm not happy to see Thom give up, really though when the song is butchered there isn't anything left to do but to stop and regroup. And that's what they did, they regrouped and came back out for another set. And another thing, this band have been mates for 30 years, look at every other band from the late 80's and early 90's who are still making music today. How many can you say still have all their original band members from the very beginning? Yes they get on each others nerves but they're still together where as many many other bands who are still active today gave up and quit.

[@WickedLiquid]

Some members have left bands because of drugs like Layne Staley of Alice in Chains or Jimmy Chamberlin of Smashing Pumpkins or John Frusciante of the Chili Peppers. While others left because the band mates just couldn't stand each other anymore like having to deal with lunatic divas like Axl Rose or Courtney Love.

But how he would mess timing, drums enters after the synth, and I mean, The sequencer would not fuck up like a Human.

As a musician I can’t imagine many things scarier than trying to patch a modular synth to a specific pattern with Thom Yorke breathing down my neck. I also know next to nothing about how to use modular synths, which is probably part of the reason why.

People need to not get mad at them... Thom or Jonny... they both fucked up... Jonny fucked up by not handling the synth correctly and Thom fucked up by leaving but it happens... and it's easy to call it unprofessional when you're sitting at your computer but when you're actually going on tours and playing long shows it probably gets so stressful and having a performance get fucked is enough to make you that angry.

[@DSMChip]

sometimes i appreciate how the audience and even some of the band members help thom out while he's forgetting the lyrics now that's true teamwork and companionship, and it's no wonder they all stuck around for this long

[@Ronam0451]

He didn't forget the lyrics

[@MordykKateryna]

He did not forget the lyrics💀💀

[@musiccellarmillerton]

Surprising that he walked off stage rather than just laughing off the mistake. The crowd loves it either way.

[@MrPaoloFelice]

Jonny you're still my hero

[@Mixingthemusic]

Jonny is so funny when Colin gives him a head pat

[@deathcador]

why Thom so piss about it? couples of time Thom also mess up the song in concert by singing lazily and out of tone. Jonny is a genius, and he rarely, again rarely make a mistake in live, Thom was way more clumsy. I'm talking here as a hard core radiohead fans but this vid really piss me off.

[@MrNicoVFX]

"I'm talking here as a hard core radiohead fans but this vid really piss me off." Trust radiohead on this one if your a big fan :D

[@BearWindAppleyard]

But if the rythms get out of sync the whole thing kind of falls apart, if the singer sings a bit off key it's not as big of a deal, the rest of the band's flow doesn't get affected the same way.

Haroon Rancak I'm not sure any of them really knew what to do if that machine starts messing up, nobody's mentioned this happening at any other gigs. Modular synths are complex shit to use live and if something fucks up, it's incredibly difficult to get yourself back on track. When you're all on stage together, the pressure can get to you.

[@tylerdurden5303]

+Haroon Rancak The Modular Synth requires the correct (and a constant) voltage in order to work correctly. When you're in a studio it's easier to control the voltage going to the equipment, but when they are on tour they (sometimes) get irregular voltage differences. This causes the Modular Synth to go out of tune, hence why it sounded shite and why Thom was pissed off. Jonny was trying his best to get the equipment working correctly but he was fighting a losing battle (also the reason why Colin gave him a little tap on the head, as a "good try" gesture.)

[@bathtubreverie]

+Tyler Durden I also noticed for that tour Jonny didn't use his original space echo live, instead the boss re-issue, less troublesome on the road I suppose... I wonder if they'll get Clive in again for the next live tour and just sample Jonny's modular onto his drum pad.... Or the drum pad as a midi controller and try to match the sounds to a non-patchable analog synth like the dsi tempest.... It also looked like there were problems with the monitors... Still, not the mess it could have been given the circumstances; matching a modular to two drummers and not to mention all the other sounds/textures that radiohead utilise

[@monsieurmitosis]

I can almost guarantee that there would have been zero negative tension backstage after this happened. Thom basically worships Jonny's technical and musical capabilities. Jonny is continuously taking risks and pushing boundaries, and if there is one single factor that makes Radiohead exceptional, that would be it. Besides, Thom doesn't seem the least bit emotional or frustrated. It was a case of them experiencing a rare glitch, which will almost certainly be identified and corrected before the next show. Accept defeat, shrug shoulders, have a cigarette break, finish the set with something more straightforward. No big deal.

[@T-roccBABY]

Y'know, I'm glad these videos of him always getting upset that this song has a 50% success rate of being performed live exist. They could have taken the easy way with recordings decades ago but they still keep it genuine, despite that decent chance for failure. That's some great dedication to quality, to me.

[@aratsnest]

omg no Thom! I'm crying! Poor Jonny 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@soulmachine6752]

the mistake was not radioheads or jonnys. it was whoever is responsible for their sound at coachella. some people are getting confused. they have played this song a million times without any problem. usually this kind of problems happens at festivals.

[@urhomies]

Thom's reaction is hardly surprising. He's a perfectionist. Besides, they work so incredibly hard for every album that after every album release they are all struggling with burnout and basically hate each other. Especially Thom who has struggled with depression more than once because of the stress and pressure.

[@kanongeminis01]

The same thing happened in Peru in 2018, poor Jonny, you can tell that "idioteque" is a difficult song to play live

[@jesseemullen]

I was there when this happened. Totally thought it was the end of the show, but luckily they came back out for an encore (and the obligatory Everything In Its Right Place)

[@Devan-he4kr]

That's what happens when you rely on a TI-83 for the music.

[@martinm6851]

I can’t even tell that it’s off beat. It legitimately sounds good to me.
