👴 Old Composer Reactions 🤘

[@likespinningpats]

The genre is Radiohead. I haven't found anything else that makes me feel like their music does.

[@HeartlessNinny1]

Same here!

[@rileytipper5110]

Agreed . They have such a special sound. They make me feel a typa way no one else does

[@Growtolight]

You need hear Zemfira

[@GIBKEL]

It still strangely feels like a secret. I don’t believe that Gen Z has much exposure. I spoke to a couple of just 20 years olds and they knew the name… heard ‘Creep’ but knew nothing else and they were music fans… even nerds.

[@rileytipper5110]

@@GIBKEL as a 21 year old myself , I can confirm 90 percent of my friends only know creep and 5% haven’t even heard that.

[@dizzydabber88]

[@Kevkin]

Check out a live version of this song, with three band members starting on drums and switching instruments.

[@LadyMelmo.]

You're right about their specific sound. When my cat was badly hurt and recovering confined to an enclosure, one of the things that soothed him was the sound of Radiohead.

[@kirkwarburton2277]

My cats get Radiohead everyday! They love it.

[@LadyMelmo.]

@@kirkwarburton2277 Nice!

[@bwhotwing411]

My favorite Radiohead song

[@greenboxtone4496]

I couldn't be more happy and grateful that you reviewed another Radiohead track. Man... the depths of where you can go through listening to their songs are limitless. If you would accept another Radiohead suggestion, I'd go for Life in a Glasshouse. I reckon you'd love it. Cheers Geebz!!! And thank you 🙏

[@synge9116]

life in a glasshouse is one of my absolute favourites for sure

[@TylerTylerTyler]

I've asked him on every video for the past year for that song,

[@adamdanielson1872]

I'm not in a mood state of mind these days but I have to say nothing excites me more than your reactions on Radiohead song. Please do it more.

[@shakey215]

hope you're in a better place mentally now

[@ricardoburil5229]

"This genre is Radiohead" Simply and directly. Not pop, not rock, just Radiohead. Just like Massive Attack, no label could be put in. If you didn't get into a forest with Thom, you're listen it wrongly. Tks, Geebz

[@aotea6983]

I know what you mean and I love massive attack but have always thought of them as trip hop and to me by far the best at trip hop

[@ricardoburil5229]

@@aotea6983 so do I, for a while. Used to consider them as one of the Father of triphop, with Portishead, djShadow, Bonobo and didn't understand why Robert Del Naja hated the label triphop so much. In his words, Massive Attack is music. I just understood it after seeing them on stage. Angel, live, was almost a doom metal song during the guitar parts (what is unusual in triphop's projects). They flow through many different styles, but always sounding like Massive Attack - just as Radiohead (that we could say that is a rock band, even don't being). Rock is too little to Radiohead, so Triphop is little to Massive.

[@EmmaTawton]

Definitely!! You’re comment about TOOL and Radiohead is so true. Two of my favourite bands that are so different yet I am captivated by them both. Fantastic reaction Geebz 🤘🏻

[@Spaztiq]

Yeah, that resonated with me too. I've always held them at the same level when it comes to technical proficiency and creativity. They tingle all the right spots in my brain.

[@joshs8685]

Same - two of my fav all time bands AND vocalists!!

[@daffyrwt]

i believe this is the first time i've seen the video for this song, I love how this has a proto Fantastic Mr. Fox look... I wonder if Wes Anderson had a little inspiration from this music video. ALSO that riff that comes in later on in the song UGH! *chefs kiss, it's so simple but it just elevates the song so much.

[@kirkwarburton2277]

So glad to see you back at Radiohead! Still a wealth of material to discover. I could suggest the delicate and lovely ‘Daydreaming’ to give you a taste of their latest material, in which Jonny’s classical score work is becoming more prevalent. ‘Subterranean Homesick Alien’ is also a wonderful song that is sometimes overlooked. Stay well.

[@boyreporter]

good on you for commenting on the tuned toms. huge and underrated element. awesome to see you listen to these guys again.

[@coxfire]

On the live versions, 3 band members play the toms and then 2 of them switch to guitar, stunning performances. Great reaction as always!

[@Marin_Karin]

Ed and Jonny play extra drums, Jonny switches to guitar later on, last tour it was Phil and Dave playing dual drums for it

[@letmefuckinglogout]

We need more Radiohead reactions/analysis! Listened to them since the early 2000s and still falling in love over and over, and still finding things.

[@barcelomrozovic1625]

If you're into the hypnotic rythmic section and absolute killer bassline, you should definitely check out "Where I End and You Begin". Such an emotionally heavy and powerful track, I cry everytime. Especially their "From The Basement" performance. Cheers!

[@rogersmith664]

Hehe I love how you were about to say Pop Rock and then went no no don't shoot me wait! And like you say, it is very hard to put Radiohead under one type of music. Excluding the first two albums which had more of an alt Rock tone, they really are their own sub-genre. They were largely inspirational for many subgenres that came about in the last 20 to 25 years. LOVE your work by the way! You are truely a legend!

[@ethanlazuk]

Been watching since the early TOOL reactions. Next to TOOL, Radiohead is my favorite, and There, There is a legendary song for me. Stoked to see it on the channel!

[@Dragonpuncher123]

You just need Rush on there then you have my full plate of greatest bands of all time, lol.

[@gracefuldrowning138]

Glad to see you still at it Geebz. Youve come a long way. I remeber when you listened to Sober through the speakers on your computer or something. Now you got this fancy set up. Got the Twitch and everything. Ive been glad to play my small part in your support. I hope you enjoy making your content and feel free to do as you please. Hoping to see some Black midi reactions on here. Maybe some other post punk bands. Or even swans. Anyways keep it up Geebz 🍻

[@synge9116]

black midi are absolutely unreal - definitely worth a reaction

[@pigknickers2975]

Wow, I've not heard this for years. Thom's voice haunts and mesmerises, fragile yet direct. As you note without those tuned (to perfection) toms where would it be? They seem to cement the whole tone of the piece, it's very clever.

[@evad997]

honestly all their songs are great. there are a ton of amazing b-sides and thom's solo stuff on The Eraser

[@DGog224]

I LOVE the Maynard comparison. It’s amazing to see two Cobain contemporaries turn into such unique and powerful artists and icons in their own right.

[@nathanpapp432]

Tool, Radiohead and NIN are all better than Nirvana, imo.

[@antsteep]

Kurt Cobain was a fan of the first Radiohead album and it why Courtney used the same producers for Hole's second album

[@danwebb1756]

Nirvana doesn’t compare to Radiohead or Tool. Nirvana is great pop punk. They don’t have near the depth of the other two bands.

[@DGog224]

@@danwebb1756I was wasn’t really comparing their music, it’s just cool that they came up at the same time and I think they have a lot of similarities in their personalities

I can’t ever get enough when you do Radiohead music ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@chrislc35]

thank you. love Radiohead, cant go wrong. each song is my favourite from them, then i hear another...this is a classic.

[@linkenski]

Because the song followed verse/chorus 1-2, alternative, chorus 3 I wouldn't consider this track progressive, but I would definitely call it alternative. Even though they fit into the pop song pattern they make it sound really unorthodox with strange chord progressions. It's definitely progressive in that sense, so I get what you mean when you say "psychedelic/progressive". Radiohead never seems exactly like other music groups. I think it's just because they do their own scrappy ideas and don't end up falling into cliché.

[@karwashblark7499]

Idk personally I never felt that the song structure was the determining factor over whether something is progressive or not. I.e. you can follow the traditional verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge etc model, and still be a total prog band if your rhythms or harmonies or melodies are prog. And in reverse, I can easily imagine a pop artist breaking that song layout while still remaining extremely pop... This is a progressive rock song. Radiohead is a progressive rock band. No matter how much they themselves might try to deny it. They of course incorporate many other genres, but progressive rock is the core of it, and this song is a great example of that IMO

[@TraditionalHippie]

GEEBZ giving us a little more! Plus it’s Radiohead! This is lagniappe. Thank you Geebz

[@DasTing1664]

Watching your face as you enjoy music I already love is weirdly gratifying

[@sam8837]

Yorke, with his peroxide blond hair, was asked if his music was ‘pop’ to which he answered: “Yesss,” he says slowly. “My definition of pop is tapping into something,” Yorke added. “My ideal pop song is one that says something people want to hear lyrically and that grabs them by the neck musically - and one that has some sort of depth that moves it beyond a happy tune that you whistle at work.” Discussing specific material that he considers in the realm of pop, the Radiohead singer added: “Songs like ‘Under Pressure’, something that makes you want to fall down on your knees. That to me is the perfect pop song.”

[@coreydunlap5260]

I love this song, one of my favorite tracks to listen to stoned back in the day haha

Radiohead isn’t music, it’s a state of mind

[@jamiebroadbridge4776]

Very Nice choice of song to react to and the video is also amazing. I absolutely love the band and have done for years so fantastic live they are. I think Radiohead are very hard to pin down to where they belong in the music scene. But I don’t think that really matters as they clearly are not bothered by any of that nonsense and just knock down any boundaries or limitations in their path which I have always admired. I just wish more artists were like this…. Great reaction keep up the amazing work mate.

[@barcelomrozovic1625]

Glad to see you checking out some more Radiohead! Would be cool if you eventually branched out to Thom's solo career.

[@BoardGameBill]

Sounds like your two favorite things about this song are the Tom Toms and Thom 😁

[@danberado]

I think "alternative rock" covers it. Those are the radio stations that streamed Radiohead back in the 90's and occasionally to this day. "Alternative" is certainly one waying of describing Radiohead's contrarian style (like moving away from verse-chorus-verse lyrics, weird time signatures, etc.). They made it big then discovered their niche.

[@siavashdarmani1190]

wow thats nice geebz back on reaction.

[@mickypoo]

Took me forever to get into this track, because I always skipped it before the amazing transition came in. This becomes the core of the song which allows you to really appreciate the slow-burn at the start. This is basically the last great band to me. I mean in the sense of Nirvana/Beatles etc.

[@davidh.8798]

Somewhat unfashionably, my favourite Radiohead song.

[@Bill-Hicks-ashtray]

Worthwhile journey with a satisfying destination 😎

[@halfalligator6518]

i'm not a producer so I don't know the lingo, but I love how Radiohead can simultaneously sound so futuristic and slick, while also being tactile and organic. Like you can really hear the intimacy of the instruments and voices etc. Like Beatles before them... I think the producer was a significant part of their sound and success. I'd call Radiohead a form of psychedelic art-rock (vague I know). It's progressive as well, but confined usually within 4-5 mins which I appreciate. They get their statement across without rushing nor over dwelling. I understand the Tool comparison. They were my fav band for years but now I think i prefer Radiohead (at least in terms of listening time). They just have that much more variety when it comes to melody and song structure. Tool has a great sound... but they so often refer to the same "bag of tricks" so to speak. They're amazingly good at that bag of tricks of course.

[@johnallan4030]

I remember seeing this video on MTV circa 2003. Radiohead loves to play this song live, because Ed & Jonny get to play some drums. I bet you they've played it at every concert they've done in the past 20 years. Lol. As far as I know, the only song that makes it into every setlist.
