He’s been a number one mainstream charts and underground rockstar/ bass player during 4 or five decades? Since before most people were born til past now, for sure
I think Colin is often overlooked because a lot of the praise goes to Thom and Jonny, yes he is is given plenty of acclaim and credit but he is def not compared to some of the other great bassists to ever play enough
Not gravity, not the weight of the whole world right now, not even a million dollars could wipe the smile off my face for 13 solid minutes. Every second was glorious, even the funny snippets in between. Thank you for making this. It was S👏U👏P👏E👏R👏B👏
i always say that the best parts of radiohead to learn their music are colin's. they really carry the band's secret flavour and you see what they're all about. also, colin is a big james jamerson fan and that explains a lot of why he's so good
Wow!! Your ability to switch between a super syncopated 4/4 time on Burn The Witch to a 3:2 polyrhythm on Daydreaming was incredibly impressive! What a fantastic video
It’s because he knows exactly where he fits in the overall sound, never overdoes it but never underdoes it either. He’s the foundation of the band, and so his job is to make sure that this foundation is as intriguing and beautiful as possible.
The bass at the climax of Exit Music for a Film is absolutely monstrous. Also love the baseline in Nude. So simple but totally makes the song. Also the Airbag bass that comes in and out. Honestly I could go on forever. Thom and Jonny totally deserve the recognition they get but every member of that band is phenomenal.
Radiohead bass lines are so fucking weird but amazing at the same time They are not really groovy but lend more to the robotic sound that they have Just amazing all around and hard to describe
I love how all the parts in radiohead fit so beautifully together and don't call attention to themselves, until someone calls attention to it and you are like 'Holy shit that's amazing'. how did I not notice that before?
I really liked your tone, really appropriate for the style.. Some of the lines were a surprise, I didn't know Iron Lung was slapped (I need to listen harder), there were lots of technique goodies in there for me. Thank you!
This video really made me reevaluate Colin Greenwood as bassist. I already thought he was good, but there are some many key contributions he makes that I just never attributed to him. Thanks to this idea and your excellent playing, I won't hear these songs the same way ever again,
I’ve never realized how absolutely powerful the emotional aspects of I Promise were, particularly the instrumentation. I always knew that the acoustic that Thom was playing made an impact, but I never realized how emotional Colin made the bassline. Just goes to show how well articulated Radiohead is at all times.
Pablo Honeys biggest sin is that it often can feel super generic, but it's really not that massive a problem. It's fun. It's a nice little alt rock album and in a few ways it was unique for the time. It is easy for it to feel like a terrible album considering what comes after in their career though.
Never have I seen a better video that encapsulates why The Smile can never, ever replace Radiohead. Jonny and Thom are a MAJOR part, but without Colin, Ed, and Phill, it’s not the same (and to be clear, I don’t think it was ever supposed to be). Colin is so, so good. I never actually realized how high he often played on the neck. It makes sense considering Radiohead have had a heavy, low-bass kind of sound. A lot of their stuff is lighter, more… nuanced.
3:18 Oh, that just gave me chill, it's such a good bass line to transition into the second half of the song, Colin is one of the grooviest bassists out there man. You're great, please make more videos, love your content!!!
Fan fuckin tastic. Radiohead is my all time favorite band. I play the piano but this makes me want to immediately go out and buy a bass and learn how to play!
Haven't been able to stop thinking about learning the bass since seeing this. My husband bought me one today. 🤣 Cheers to becoming as good as you one day!
I love how you show the pick stage Colin went through. I went through the same thing. For the first 10 years of playing bass I only played with my fingers and then for whatever reason switched to pick for another decade. Now I switch back and forth depending on the composition, but find myself opting for the pick more often than not.
excellent video! i can see how much effort you put into and i appreciate it. As a longtime radiohead fan its so refreshing to hear colins bass parts which you play so well. Great job
Awesome!! The two videos were perfect im the tempos, changes, playing, greetings from another bassist. But Radiohead in special is one of my favorite bands of all time and this vídeo had made nostalgia in me. Subscribing right now and waiting for the next one.
Wow, radiohead+awesome playing... I'm in!! By the way i just love that you played the end of optimistic, never heard that live and it's one of my favorite bass lines of Colin 🤘👍👍
that was absolutely amazing, i LOVE it so much!! also the clip of ed was so funny. i love radiohead. you are so talented ♡ and i hope to learn bass soon
