Radiohead Acceptance Speeches at the 2019 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony 

Probably 2nd best Phil drummer

drummers see his genius, he knows exactly how to not only provide but liven the beat its so beautiful

One word: Airbag

@@MyBeautifulDarkTwistedFantasy6 he does go pretty hard on that one ye

Serves the song, like they all do

*28

When you see him stand next to Thom it’s mind boggling

@@WickedLiquid 6'5'' versus 5'5''

It's actually Hugh Laurie on top of Thom in a trench coat

Your mom knows. 😂

As much as I love Johnny and Thom, it's a bit like getting two teenagers to do a presentation at school. They are not well known for being confident in front of a crowd.

Nah, Colin is the best one, but these to are definitely the right men to do this 😉

@@the_oslovian Just about to comment this. He has a really large vocabulary, and is naturally cordial.

@@syrup- Degree in English will do that 😉

@@the_oslovian I mean, so do Thom & Phil.

Me too pal

@@williamberry2351 not in a musical theatre sense, I mean I play the albums most days hahaha

@@user-iz9co4qf6z high school and college were horrific experience for me but Radiohead got me through the storm. they're also the soundtracks of me growing up.

Same

Isn't that exactly what you'd want him to say. Short and sweet.

Phil is so humbly sweet and kind. When he smiled, it kind of warmth my heart a bit. lol

Love Phil❤️

Not many, it's true! a-ha, 39 years... U2, 45 years... ZZ Top, 51 years

@@kevinb9n true but less members

Well, Radiohead has. It's one band until The Bends and a different one after OK Computer.

@@enricobrasil That's not true. The band has had the same five members since 1985.

Wow amazing point.

Can you imagine if his speech was just a 10 minute “EEEEEEEEEEEEEED”

I’d still cry and feel everything all of the time.

reading about some of the shit the band have been through too, it’s extremely surprising how long they have persisted together

Just looking at Ed’s face (his suit!!!) is everything. Love Edddd

Follow him on Instagram. He does lives with fans all the time and he’s always very humble.

There's plenty of interviews with guitar magazines/rig stuff etc. on RU-vid!

He looks like a leading actor for sure. If he ever decides to go down that route, he'd looked awesome on screen but he's a musician.

@@Wanderersea he literally looks like an upgraded version of hugh grant. tall, alpha male face structures.

He has alpha male vibes

he's a rocksta r

he has amazing hair

I KNOWWW RIGHT

Giant Hugh Grant

@@seattleite6631 Huge Grant

Nah he is Hugh Laurie

I don't understand you

@jsrmn jsrmn Echo and the Bunnymen are legit

Idk Oasis?

not even better than Oasis The beatles Oasis The rolling stones . . . . . Radiohead

@@pepitofuentes7017 In whose world is Oasis better than Radiohead. How the fuck can you compare Oasis to Radiohead... Makes me wanna fade away from earth smh... The only band that I'd compare Radiohead to is Pink Floyd.

Another “drummer’s drummer” is Questlove!

I second this. I listened to a lot of Radiohead at the beginning of this year and Phil really inspired me to be more comfortable as a pocket drummer and not feel the need to develop mind-blowing chops

I picked up a guitar for the first time around when Kid A came out. I'll admit, as a kid, Thom and Johnny took all of my attention. But over the years, especially after seeing them live, Phil and Colin are the main drivers of the sound that is Radiohead. Thom and Johnny just don't sound as good to me without them. And then Ed is like this wonderful glue that fills in everywhere where he's needed.

Absolutely true. As a drummer and a recent Radiohead fan, I love listening to Phil's work (Jigsaw being a particular favourite). He reminds me a lot of Larry Mullen in terms of how he serves the music, and not his own ego.

Khruangbin's drummer too, he keeps tempo like his life depends on it!

😊

Yup.. can relate.

Which is crazy because they didn’t even hit their stride until the new millennium

Such a shame to be honest. But aside from that, just imagine the way Ed and Phillip felt when they were introduced by one of the members of the very band that they took their name from, amazing.

I wasn’t aware can you elaborate more? Idk much background on talking heads

@@86hills59 oh, you’ve got an adventure! Check out the music/documentary-ish “Stop Making Sense.” A super great way to get into Talking Heads.

@@sleedeal8010 thanks will check out

@jsrmn jsrmn An idea. A mood. A feeling. An emotion. An antidote. An escape. How lucky are we to exist in the same universe as Radiohead.

@jsrmn jsrmn A drug. An antidepressant. A concept.

@@strahljd dude thats so fucking cringe

thats the average radiohead fan for you.. a pseudointellectual nightmare.

@@dalemein8682 how is it cringe?

Queens Of The Stone Age still exists.

Agreed. Spot on

Nah there's good new stuff out if you don't give up on looking for it.

music never dies

lol Radiohead is awesome but there is so much good music. Chill

I didn’t know that but def couldn’t agree more. Hasn’t RATM been nominated? Seems unlikely they’ll get in with only a few albums…but Morello is particularly influential

@@sleedeal8010 Morello showed that you don’t need to shred to be a great guitarist, he was amazing at creating new sounds and effects with his playing (same as EOB)

The tide will come in again. Currently we're in the middle of the culmination of the social media era. Filters on photos, autotune, capitalism at its nadir. When the house of cards collapses and the epidemic of mental health issues kicks in. When the economies contract after Covid/Ukraine etc. When young people get sick of the boomer generation pulling up the ladder. When people tire of the Kardashians facade and the rich ignoring climate change. When the woke backlash fades and people just see the sadness and anger that propells it. Then, the tide will come in and it will be a wave of art not seen since the 60s with undeniable meaning at its core. It's going to be awesome.

They did it the right way. Perhaps they didn't want to 100% endorse it but neither did they want to deal with the controversy of a 'snub'. Very English response you might say

I was a bit surprised Colin didn’t show. Thom and Jonny, sure, but seems like Colin would be okay with it.

Jonny and Colin are grounded Thom isn’t as much But yeah, Colin seems like he would have went

Jonah Schwartz Snubs? They were inducted on their first year of eligibility

Jonah Schwartz Radiohead is billion light years away from Nirvana. I wouldn't even compare.

nick aglyc they’re in completely different genres. They’re both amazing

nick aglyc lmaoo

I disagree not every or knows the name RADIOHEAD. More ppl know of Kurt cobain and nirvana.

wait why is he there

@@jacksongreer2953 he's a celebrity. Almost everyone in the audience is

@@ggthewhale i am aware but most people there are music industry. was not expecting a reply lol

hahaha i thought it was him

I remember listening to John being interviewed on Pete Holmes podcast, and the impression I got from a few of his comments on music, made him out to be somewhat of a Radiohead fan.

I wish I was special
