"Be quiet you whinging gimp"

"I'm a creeeep..I'm a weirdo...I don't belong here"

You forgot the part about being the ringleader of a band that sells millions of albums and gets to wake up when you want and play a few shows every year.
Stop griping and cheer up you whinging gimp before someone slaps your pasty face, Thom Yorke.
Christ, that's not even how it's spelt..Thom...no, it's Tom.
Spelling it different doesn't make you special, and your voice is the kind of one that makes strangers want come to up and mash your hot-dog into your face on the street.

Ok, so you've written a couple of decent songs. But for chrissakes lighten up.
You sing funny, you look stupid and you are really, really miserable.
All the time.
Just once, wake up and realise that thousands of bands would happily kill to be where you are.

Oh, and Kid A and Amnesiac suck.
Sorry, but someone has to say that by the way.
OK Computer was a good album, but "Thom" got miserable and "Melody was my enemy".
Probably not the best time to be in a band then eh?
You could've spared us the knob-twiddling Warp imitation pap that masquerades as music.
Honestly, who actually likes Kid A and Amnesiac?
Pretentious beard strokers that can't admit that the flavour of the month has gone bad - that's who.
Here's some news for you Radiohead:
Whilst you were locked in your studio crying into your IKEA table-tops and bemoaning the fate of the world?

Muse came along and stole your songs and fans.

It's true.
Matt Bellamy may go "eeeaaaAAAARRGGHHh WOOOOOO" in every song, but he's enjoying it and they actually look like they enjoy being in a band.
So cheer up, stop listening to rubbish techno or change your name to Klaus and make full-time Kraut-Rock, because Radiohead of today is pants.

You have gone from the genius of Paranoid Android and Street Spirit, to the godawful self-indulgent w**k of Idiotheque and Hunting Bears.
God, we sound like Radiohead when we're tuning up, give us a fat advance and our singer can look like he's been punched in the balls and stay inside for a year reading Camus and No Logo.

Radiohead: Lost the Plot

I was thinking about this the other day adn I think that Radiohead are doing the right thing. I didn't like Kid A or Amnesiac at first, but I allowed them to grow on me. You're right Snuggly, that live album was better than the studio one. What really made me think was seeing the Manics on tele. They were playing in some obscure German town to a few thousand people. what was really sad though was seeing them play Design For Life the fiftieth thousandth time. They must be sick of it, and they clearly weren't enjoying it. Imagine playing the same songs every night fot the full length of a tour. At least Radiohead moved in a different direction. There's lots of talk abuot whether it was the right direction. No wonder they abandoned Creep though. I read somewhere that they used to start gigs with Creep just to get it out the way. I've got the same theory about Episode II. I think that Lucas is putting out all these poncy promos so that all the people that went to see 'funny' JarJar Binks won't go and the true diehard following will. But someone pointed out to me that if it's all lovey-dovey then Titanic fans might go - and that is not allowed!

I downloaded it, refusing to swell Mr Happy's coffers.

It's ok, but still whiny. One song has him going "Urrrrrrr here comes the flame....here comes the flame....."

Anyone else got the new live album? Makes the songs sound a whole lot better, i found.

I used to be the same Sheepy, I used to defend them to people and say "It's not music to cut your wrists to, you just can't get past the obvious stuff that you dislike"

And then I got Kid A.
And I thought "Er....". From that album I like
"Everything in it's right place"
"National Anthem"
But the rest of them, in my opinion, suck ass.
Just tuneless, self-indulgent toss.
And then Amnesiac and yet more nonsense.
"packt like Sardines" is good and I like "I Might be Wrong" but ther rest of them can be shot into space.

But I will say that OK Computer is one of *those* albums. I think every single track is stunning, and the whole thing flows together into one cohesive scream against the way we live today.
It said something, I identified with it.
But I couldn't care less about the last two albums.

And Yorke needs to be reminded that there are far worse jobs than being worshipped all over the world by thousands of fans and shed-loads of money.
Miserable, whiny gimp.

After a day of school to think over it...

That git Goatboy is right...

I only defended them because I (love/admire/love) The Bends and Ok Computer.

There are however one or two good songs on them.

Thom Yorke needs a kick in the balls :0

Whenever I picture Thom Yorke, I always kinda imagine this voluntary paraplegic, being pushed around in a wheelchair all day because he hasn't the energy to walk.

I reckon he spent out all his emotion on his earlier stuff, and got really crapped when he couldn't write any more.

And I hate Amnesiac now.

Dont get me wrong, I used to defend them to people.
OK Computer and The Bends are stunning albums.
But the last two...I just give up on them and see if they remember why people liked them in the first place.

Bah your playing with my mind...

Jonny Greenwood is one hell of a guitarist though... wish he would tell them to throw their nobs away and get the Telecasters out :)
