He was suffering depression during the late 1990's, which partly gave rise to Radiohead's new musical direction. They would have split up were it not for that redirection. No Kid A, Amnesiac, Hail to the Thief, In Rainbows, TKOL. Thank God they decided to adapt and evolve rather than die out.
Okay so I have been watching some of these old interviews with Thom from around this era. In every one of them, Thom drops at least one lyric from a Radiohead that in that point in time had yet to be released.
His body language is so expressive. He has a wall in between himself and the interviewer. I can relate. Not that I'd be interviewed, but the physical separation required when doing something you don't really want to do is evident. I commend him for working through it to the end. Nothing against Matt, and I'm grateful for the chat.
He..in retrospeck...tivitallisticly, clearly just needed a hug, maybe a couple few blankets, and I don't know if English people have different DNA requirements or Wott, but the boy definitely needed some gentle but effective vitamins. Er hell, Maybe some sunlight..I get bummed beyond belief of bummed out if I don't get X amount of sunlight..? Dunno.
It's definitely not flawed. Could it be better? Yeah, probably... but I don't know how, cuz it's already fucking amazing. But sure, I think given enough time most bands could make something a bit better. That being said they could make it worse too.
It’s so crazy seeing this, grant gee filming the documentary in the background ... then seeing everything they talk about laid out in detail in Meeting People Is Easy.
"take with a pinch of salt, take it to the taxman..." One of my favorite songs on HTTT but I hadn't even thought about it when he said it. Thanks for pointing that out.
IDK, he looks pretty comfortable actually, usually he is really uncomfortable. Matt is a great interviewer, though, he seems like a very decent and understanding person.
@@MyBeautifulDarkTwistedFantasy6 thanks! If only I were related to Ed. At the very least we might share an ancestor from a few hundred years ago possibly :p
Amazing how thom is so wary of ppl esp reporters,and just feels as if he doesn't fit in,yet he needs the danger of new material on tour or he gets bored,and I strangely (or not) relate,wanting to so abc so ppl notice then immediately feeling insecure that the praise is somehow undeserved.
I love the meeting people is easy version. Crazy synth tones on that. The lyrics printed on the back of the dvd imo are better than the man of war version. More sinister.
He says that the other interview Thom did was Space Ghost - but the Thom Yorke episode of Space Ghost came out in 2001 - did they sit on it for that long, or is there another Thom Yorke Space Ghost appearance that I didn't know about?
I think he's not trying. As a matter of fact he might be, or have been at the time. Judging from what they're saying at the beginning and their private jokes throughout the whole interview...
YruamaZepol Matt Pinfield is a notorious sycophant, watch any of his interviews, he acts the same way in all of them. I remember one where he was practically drooling over Alanis Morissette and she looked totally uncomfortable.
He was born with a paralysed eyelid, not sure what the medical term is. Had a good few operations as a young kid to fix it but it never quite got there
@@monty0289 his eyelid was shut when he was born. When he was young one surgery was botched and left it like that, he chose to keep it that way because he felt it made him different.
