Seriously man, you're a gem in all the sea of creep covers 😂 you deserve so many more views

[@JoeEdelmann3]

Felipe García thanks man, I really appreciate it! I love this band and really enjoy recording too. Though I have to admit, there’s a time and a place for Creep too! 😆

[@boogieman.1698]

lol so true

[@n4nyhwwnv327]

more than that, to a large extent more. This is fucking genious.

[@moglibr1]

Fuckin' true 😂

[@Teeheehee093]

Better than album version honestly

[@paranoidcomet]

I really hope Thom could see all your covers. He'd be proud.

[@bucephalus00]

He's most likely heard them

[@armrugatewood9110]

Oh My God! KILLER!! I hate to say it but your version is better than some of Radiohead’s earlier versions of Identikit. Loved it-but wish there was a longer guitar solo at the end. I don’t like that Jonny’s solo was short- I could jam to that riff a while.. Brilliant!

[@Michael-cv5wk]

Please do decks dark that would be so sick to watch

[@lsndoks8241]

Oooooooh the sints were so good, nailed guitar at the end Very nice cover

[@rep_reprobit]

I don't understand why they changed the synth interlude. It was amazing. You nailed it, man!

[@acoustic-gymnastics]

this is a god right hereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@elizbartskrialashvili3361]

How could this be possible to cover Thom, Jonny, Ed, Colin and Phil by one man so perfectly? You truly deserve more views

[@drbenchia]

“A moon shaped pool, dancing clothes, won’t let me in, and now I know, it’s never gonna be, oh me.” What is Ed’s line when Thom comes in? Something like, “want to see you, and I need to…” great cover!

[@JoeEdelmann3]

Yeah! At least that's how I heard it 😂

[@namelastname4077]

in my head this is the original version too

[@iCainiac]

This is the best Radiohead cover I’ve ever seen. Love the combination of Thom and Ed’s backing vocals from both versions.

[@gibbon.enthusiast]

That synth sounds so awesome

[@politikamusic]

This is really great man, definitely feels like the best of both worlds regarding the two versions!

[@JoeEdelmann3]

politikamusic thanks! I’ve seen your Radiohead cover videos too man, nice work!

[@politikamusic]

@@JoeEdelmann3 Thanks man, that's kind of you to say! Needless to say I've seen quite a few of your covers already - hope you keep up the good work, excited to see what you're going to cover next!

Great. Thank you for bringing back that original melody by Ed O'brien

[@user-xj4gc1vo3s]

I can't believe what I'm saying, but I actually liked this cover even more than the both original versions...

[@Harrycaine14]

A tab for the solo would be really useful, what a great cover!

[@Batchick127]

This mashup worked really well. I can't decide if I like the vocals or guitars more.

[@flimnoir9946]

Love this cover of Identikit, must be the best on KZbin? You got every sound absolutely spot on (well 99.9%) which is quite incredible

[@kainecells]

This is so fucking good bruv

[@CicatrizAP]

This is fireee. Amazing cover! Nailed the tone of that solo 🤙🏽

[@hatw_]

hey man, this is great, I can't believe i just discovered this crazy fusion version! any chance you could cover cut a hole, an unreleased track that debuted on the 2012 tour? it would be so good to hear from you. love your stuff, can't believe you only have 30k followers!

[@SNUFFMETAL]

Acabo de ver tu canal hace como 4 hrs y no eh dejado de ver cada uno de tus videos, son increíbles!!!!!! gracias a ti la gente se puede dar cuenta de lo compleja y gigante que es una composición de radiohead, nuevo sub! sigue haciendo videos asombrosos!!

This is absolutely fantastic. Great work man-- like, better than some live radiohead versions! You nailed it.

[@gordons8843]

Great cover Joe

[@diegoescobardiaz6552]

Wow

[@mushumushimaro3200]

Well I'm late for this, but I am so confused by the way you made the drum machine fight the acoustic drum set. Confused in a good way, gives the song a personality I never knew it could be given because I think the original was in an odd timing. Or it's just me not listening with headphones That doesn't really matter though. all that matters is your accuracy being beyond godlike and your passion for the band making you hit all the spots in all the right places. I envy this level of craftsmanship and I wish I could be doing what you're doing with other bands (and with them too). I love your stuff so much, so please never give up on music. You're a maestro.

[@mushumushimaro3200]

Edit: I only now saw the fact that you meshed the two versions, that's what happens when you get sucked in by the song :D

[@theundatedwinter4027]

Your talent is undeniable bro. Keep it up.

[@alexanderberkenbosch423]

You are incredibly talented, keep it up :)

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

Man this song is an amazing track that got kinda butchered through the studio recording. The live versions have so much more energy. You did a great job of capturing that energy.

[@JoeEdelmann3]

Micah Buzan thanks!! Yeah, I really liked the original live energy too. The key change and Ed’s vocal counterpoint especially!

The choir is fine imo, it's the weak-ass synth that makes it feel like a downgrade.

If Thom Yorke died suddenly, you would have to apply to be his substitute and keep Radiohead going.

[@junokarah3495]

Hey Joe, I can’t stop watching this cover, it’s perfect! May I ask what plugin you used for the drums? That low end is spectacular

[@JoeEdelmann3]

Juno Karah on the electronic kit I used samples of one of their live performances, and the live kit I don’t remember exactly, but I’ve often used Waves Renaissance Bass on kicks and basses to add the sub frequency content!

[@junokarah3495]

Thank you Joe!! Can’t wait until your next video : )

[@JoeEdelmann3]

Juno Karah no problem! I actually just posted a cover of “Has Ended” (along with a demo of a cool, cheap little mixer) if you’re interested! kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5nJYmt3iquWeqM

[@imanfine1510]

I think I've seen pictures of people crying on your telecaster guitar. and I'm struggling to remember. and in the end I managed to remember that it was a picture on the AMNESIAC album, right? :D

[@JoeEdelmann3]

Yep, it’s one of Stanley Donwood’s “Crying Minotaur” designs from the Amnesiac album art!

[@hickorymccay2994]

What's that Jaguar? It looks great.

[@JoeEdelmann3]

Classic Player HH! From around 2013ish

[@farfle10]

That key change would have been the stuff of legend. I'm seriously sitting here getting heated how they fucked it up.

[@dakotakinert1994]

How do you even begin on a song like this? Very impressive m8te.

[@jonjon11882]

usually drums

[@user-pb5bu6zr4d]

Please do a version they used to play live before it got out on amsp. I mean it sounds different and I like the old one better. Still a great job tho, would be hard to tell your voice from Yorke's on live

[@on1ytheb3st]

What pedal effect is that for the guitar part shown in 2:29, and 3:16? The sound first initially comes in at 2:22. Very ambient and atmospheric I’d love to be able to recreate that. Also the synth sound for the keys is prime!

[@JoeEdelmann3]

Carter Hamlet delay! Lots of delay! (One into another, with slightly different delay times so they clash and turn into a repeat soup/sustain)

[@JackPettinger]

This is awesome, I have just one question, original 2012 live version was in F, studio version F#, are you playing it in F? I'm interested because in our band we're trying it in F#.

[@JoeEdelmann3]

Jack Pettinger thanks! Yes I’m using the F key from the original live version (which also modulates up a key during the bridge then back down), always liked how that one sounded

[@JackPettinger]

@@JoeEdelmann3 You mean in the synth section? When we play I switch from bass and play the synth and then jump back on the bass. I play the synth bits in F# (F# A, C# E, F# A etc etc.) You think I need to go up to G for that bit?

[@JoeEdelmann3]

Jack Pettinger just before the synth section! During the broken hearts make it rain build up (it’s actually mostly centered around a B major chord I think , so more of a noticeable key change to and from Fm than in the studio version, where F#m goes up to B)

[@JackPettinger]

@@JoeEdelmann3 ahh I get you, thanks!

[@Michael-ks3rl]

Is the beat in this constantly shifting or are they just changing the emphasis? genuinely can't wrap my head around it

[@JoeEdelmann3]

Mike Carpenter I think just changing emphasis with syncopation - they seem to do that a lot though ... (little by little live version comes to mind)

[@anthonyrios2300]

Yeah. The backing vocals come in on one so just count from there.

[@saeedpiracha4716]

would you mind explaining how you made the synth patch? I don't have a prophet but would love to recreate using my own synth

[@JoeEdelmann3]

Sure! Here are my settings (Prophet value ranges are for the most part 0-127) Osc 1: Pulse Freq C3 Shape Mod 48% (so basically a square wave) Sub Oscillator Level 41 Osc 2: Saw Freq C3 Shape Mod 34% Osc 1/2 Mix 48 Filter Cutoff 73 Filter ADSR: A 0, D 64, S 127, R 127 Envelope Amount +60 Amp ADSR: A 29 D 64 S 127 R 106 Pan Spread 54 LFO 1: Destination Osc1 Shape (so essentially PWM), Freq 22, Amount 41 LFO 2: Destination OscAll Freq (overall pitch), Freq 58, Amount 4

Wow, thanks for the detailed response. I got pretty close using my JP-08. You absolutely nailed these covers. Thanks!

[@JoeEdelmann3]

No problem! Thanks!

[@runningcoyote9972]

what do you think about Identikit live version ?

[@JoeEdelmann3]

Ha limun I really like it, in fact it took me a little while to get onboard with the studio version. That’s why I did this version with the original drumbeat and synth!
