Radiohead- "Just" & "Anyone Can Play Guitar" Live in Studio 1995 [Reelin' In The Years Archives]

My fav from Pablo Honey. It's a crazy mess of distortion tones, and a very high-spirited one at that.

[@FormerlyMatthewC]

@@ghazypangerang6118 Actually it's my fav from Pablo Honey too. Even though I think Creep is a good song/well-written, I just don't think its grungy tone fits the lyrics well, and that's why I prefer covers of the song in a different style (like Kelly Clarkson or Hailey Reinhart) over the original. Anyone, on the other hand, is catchy, fun, the music fits the lyrics, and Thom sure turned it into a hell of a "performance". I was actually singing the "grow my hair, I am Jim Morrison" part to myself recently because it is so oddly catchy. I hope I don't sound pretentious lol. Not nearly as good as their later work but still fun.

Greenwood is already going abstract here. It's so interesting to see the first elements of what his musical development will become in the following albums, with the adoption of electronics and larger range of instruments that would allow him to express his ideas more deeply.

[@AndrewVanBeekOttawa]

The first time I saw Radiohead was in this same year. Small club in Ottawa Canada called Barrymores with maybe 100 other people. It’s still the best show I have seen in my life even after having Thom run into me and spill beer on my shirt. I had never seen a photo of him and didn’t even know it was him :-)

Did he apologize for the beer on your shirt

[@AndrewVanBeekOttawa]

@@levitation2114 ha ha no, on that day he was all piss and vinegar. He looked annoyed that I was in the way. The show started much like that where the band looked bored. A few songs in they realized that the crowd knew the words to every song and were ecstatic to be there. They joined in on the enthusiasm and ended up playing for three hours. Only having two albums, they played a ton of covers including my half-joking request for Led Zeppelin. Best $15 I have ever spent.

[@lounirs]

@@AndrewVanBeekOttawa it looks so awesome omgg

[@TheSlandis]

I'm a student at School of Rock and we are learning this song. It's terribly fun to play on bass. However, Colin Greenwood's restraint is admirable. I really want to dig in on parts but he keeps it even. I try to learn from artists I cover to get inside their head and understand how they serve the song. This is a lesson for me.

[@tashipalden3651]

That’s a very good approach imo and I personally try to get the feel of Colin Greenwood and his influences (dub, motown). The goal is to lay the groove and standout without histrionics, i.e. (Jigsaw, 15 step, airbag)

[@DreamsOfLennox]

@ghost mall absolutely. constantly hear about how kid a was "the greatest right turn in music history." while i think the switch from okc to kid a was magnificent and led to some of the greatest music in history, i notice that people often discount just how incredible it was that radiohead made THREE of the greatest right turns in music history IN A ROW. from pablo honey to the bends, the band made their sound darker, their lyrics more interesting, and laid the groundwork for everything in the future. with ok computer, they extended past their previous boxing of alt rock and somewhat grunge-y feel of the bends with something deep and completely unique for the time. and with kid a, they scrapped pretty much any trace of rock to be found previously. the amount of positive changes this band took in a 5 year timespan is incredible.
