[@Hakucho64]

I briefly wondered if it would live up to the original, but then I realised that with Joe and Taka on the job, there was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt.

[@averyleake1109]

underrated comment

[@studio85amsterdam]

Kudos 👏🏼👏🏼

[@ddemulling9722]

Phrygian, Major, and Aeolian hang out, get drunk, and come up with a swung pailndromic clave over eight bars... This song is so effin genius.

[@daz311x]

It's a dream!

[@cazza710]

i hate that i understood 6/8ths of that

[@ej8736]

@UCmOZOoTJp9JQfCV78mmdKTg well you only need to understand 4/4ths of it

[@mistercath]

​@@cazza710 me too man haha

[@ShootTheKidzAtSchool]

I think Radiohead is one of the most difficult band to cover because of their unique sound. Lots of Analog synths, pedal effects, looping, delays and reverb processing. And the unique and melancholic voice of Thom Yorke. Joe Edelmann is very impressive! I can barely hear the difference with the original song. In fact, without the visuals, I would think it's from a live show cuz, yeah, it's perfect! I'm usually not a big fan of cover songs unless it's very different from the original. It needs to be creative. But here, it's science at it's pure state! I'm a huge fan of what he's doing! I loved when he did synth tutorials! (If he can hear me ;) ) Sorry for my english, my first langage is french.

[@ieuanphillips4963]

Your English is great

[@ShootTheKidzAtSchool]

@@ieuanphillips4963 Thank you! :)

[@Tifizza]

I agree ! He nailed it. You need to have some huge balls to cover radiohead's songs, they are so complex.

[@sgshumblecrumb6046]

The guitarist/odnes player even looks like Johnny 😂

[@cheetengho7876]

If anytime in the future Radioheads needs a tribute band then you are on top of that list

[@kebab_boi]

Sometimes when I watch Joe’s covers I legit forget I’m listening to a cover.

[@mligon]

Seriously, this could be a mistaken for a Radiohead session outtake.

[@kebab_boi]

@@mligon exactly hahaha

[@ric8248]

I'm in shock at how everything is perfectly accounted for.

[@kristinzeiber23]

Are you sure you're not Thom's voice clone? Seriously, Joe, your voice is FANTASTIC! Not to mention your musical ability! Holy Radiohead!!

[@ryan-uz1rw]

Wow, this was amazing. If you close your eyes, you won't even know it's a cover.

[@lriviere30]

Even the Ondes Martinot… such a genius

[@lucapizza1235]

This songs formation is so unique, haven’t come across anything similar

[@rosco9254]

don't stop doing this!

[@jacobjallen2620]

Do packt like sardines in a crushd tin box please!

[@debarchan123]

He's a reasonable man, get off his case

[@dannyh5937]

Joe, it feels like I post this comment on all of your videos. You are so talented. Radiohead songs are so incredibly complicated and difficult to play yet you master them and perform with such ease. I can only imagine how many hours you've spent practicing and perfecting your craft.

[@Radioheadfan625]

Yes! Please do more Amnesiac,.. it's my favorite record by far! Would love to hear packt, I might be wrong, you and whose army, life in a glass house... pretty all of it lol

[@FluffyMomo]

One of those is here💁‍♀️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6Tapp15bNWpmdE

[@FulvioSantucci]

Are you kidding me bro? This is nuts!!

[@deanmorgan7011]

This song for me I think was mind blowing when I first heard, it was like listening to beethoven or mahler, and that cover by taka and Joe is fuckin awesome, so passionate and I'm sure radiohead themselves would give that a thumbs up....Great job

[@angelivan88]

Taka has all the Jonny's vibe... And you bro, i love u since Weird Fishes/Arpeggi ownage... i mean cover

[@user-xz7zr5bx4b]

I like the dry sound of the drums. The guitar was also wonderful. It was the best performance. I'm cheering from Japan.

[@bobz_emperor7240]

I waiting for Sail To The Moon, go cover it man

[@daveidmarx8296]

If you played this for me and told me it was Radiohead, I would believe you 100%. Unbelievably amazing cover.

[@jimbaaab]

Nice work, fellas! The sustainer guitar is cool. I just picked up a Fernandes Sustainer JG-65S from a chap in Japan. It’s missing the guts (electronics), so I’m putting it back together. Looking forward to channeling my inner Eeeeeeeed.

[@crownjj]

Have to comment. Can't say nothing after seeing & hearing this. It's very impressive.

[@blindeyesurgeon6576]

With a lot of covers on youtube its hard to find many that are TRUE dissections of the cadences and rhythm, timing. It takes someone who really loves this song to recreate it so well as best as they could. If not the best overall. Keep rocking fr!

[@yvestonn]

SPOT ONNNN THIS IS SICK AS FUCK

[@100031158]

Looking forward for you both covering Black Star 🙏

[@falvolarson4945]

Wow this one makes me heart skipped a beat indeed

[@KaykyStiliano]

this is literally perfect, I was looking for this type of cover with all the instruments including the guitar and the bow but I was not able to find it, Amazing Job Joe and Taka!

[@mcboomsauce7922]

holy fucking shit.,,,excellent

[@pappsco54]

Brilliant cover,tricky timing in pyramid song......👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@yourbrotommy]

This guy makes the Freaking Best Radiohead Cover!!!🔥🔥🔥

[@jermeycoldworld1898]

You can sing sound good I usually don't like covers but you did a great job I subscribed

[@JoeEdelmann3]

Thank you!

[@antdujar]

It’s as though I’m seeing Radiohead become a two piece band, as though all the members combined would consist of these two as their fusion haha. Seriously though, solid cover!

[@alejarocco]

Este man es un sueño.

[@Jerry-rm9pk]

Sin duda, uno de los mejores canales de covers en todo KZbin ♥️ su trabajo es asombroso

[@MN-qr2zi]

Holy shit dude this is super good!!

[@reeferrick2635]

[@27horses231]

Probably the most deeply moving chord and timing sequence ever written. Great work as ever lads.

[@hardtoexplain6426]

Wowowow

[@Andrew19650]

Taka is my hero ❤️

[@mrkanty]

Ty! 👍

[@juanakoelx]

A M A Z I N G 😍

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

There was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt

[@victorvargascb]

Please cover Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors. Dude you're extremely talented!

[@flormarxita]

[@theodhorzhobro4646]

Good job ma guy !!

[@Santi-wc9mw]

La cadencia de este tema 🤤 Hermosa versión! 🔼

[@jamescourtney9408]

Absolutely sensational

[@kramerRCS]

Another great cover. You guys are awesome.

[@Ziggomatic8]

Impeccable.

[@6foottallAardvark]

Jesus i dont know which part I'm most impressed by. You nailed the rhythm, the atmospheric guitar/strings, and wow your voice is amazing. Great great job

[@williamandres1042]

Amazing cover man, really amazing. New subscriber!

[@debarchan123]

This was amazing. Gave me the chills like the original does. Great work as always!

[@aliqzakry834]

Perfect song for scrolling BD's with your waifu!

[@taotaom4312]

you already did everything great. i'd like to do the mixing and mastering for you if you want. Radiohead is my favorite band for 20 years

[@passosiq]

instant like, no need to even press play

[@markdunne634]

Perfect cover, seriously impressed!

[@LetMeGuess2]

I'm going to go with, "As magical as the original, and better because Joe plays/sings/organizes all of it."

[@Batfemme639]

Wow!

[@yousouljaboy2218]

that intro is so fucking cool!!!!!

[@jacobmorris3664]

A bit of Jonny's Penderecki obsession :-)

[@AlemsisVerite]

I love this song, I also love its covers, they inspire me to want to dedicate myself to music

[@gracefox5978]

This is one of the most thorough covers I've ever heard, perfect! Really enjoyed this :)

[@giovaneduques3600]

Seeing how it's done is even better. Congratulations to all of you. Great work

[@roof_of_the_fop]

the whole way through I was hoping you'd do that bit thom did at the end of the live version in Sao Paulo 2018 because that makes the song so powerful imo and THE MADMAN ACTUALLY DOES IT!!!! I've said this a billion times but amazing cover as always and cannot wait for whatever (probably amnesiac) song you have in line next!

[@olipoole130]

Your voice is absolutely fantastic. Such a beautiful range and tonality. Great job on the cover! 🙌🏼

[@MrMicalo]

Gave the like before I've heard it

[@c_zavalasantiagoangelfabia6482]

Amazing as always Joe, keep up the great work! Love seeing how you cover Radiohead!

[@trihorus]

The effort you've put into this beautiful piece is commendable. Keep up the good work!

[@BrunoHuerta24]

Dude, your covers never disappoint!! Great cover and Radiohead sabeee 😄

[@karchschwartz2386]

Are you planning to do a Present Tense cover any time soon? It would make my day!

[@JoeEdelmann3]

It’s been on my mind!

[@BloomoftheSun]

this was beautiful! That sao paulo ending was epic

[@aprilliac]

oh dang, you got a sustainer. nice!

[@JoeEdelmann3]

On loan from the illustrious Chris Bekampis of our OKC/IR from the basement sessions fame! 😜
