ritchie blackmore IS a better guitar player than billy corgan or greenwood i'll give him that

I don't view guitar playing as a competition and really can't fucking stand the mentality that would treat it as one.
It doesn't matter who's a "better" guitarist. It matters that Jonny Greenwood plays the *right* guitar for Radiohead songs.
I just KMT at that whole kind of thing and want nothing to do with it.

That Corgan quote is completely out of context. He was just saying that Richie Blackmore is better than Johnny or himself and that he pisses on any ranking (they don't specify which one he was talking about) that says otherwise and doesn't give 'the true rock gods' their proper respect.
― Moka, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 20:20 (eleven years ago) link
Also Full Stop is amazing. This and Skirting on the Surface are my favorite of the new songs live. Not feeling Identikit and Cut A Hole yet.
― Moka, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 20:21 (eleven years ago) link
It's not particular out of context that he said he would piss on Radiohead themselves. And you should listen to Identikit more.
― Melissa W, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 20:23 (eleven years ago) link
I piss on the very ~idea~ of 'true rock gods' OK?
Carrying on a conversation from Twitter...
Taking sides: Thom Yorke or Kittens?
― a cake made of all their eyes (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Wednesday, 13 June 2012 20:24 (eleven years ago) link
Thom Yorke. Kittens turn into cats.
― Melissa W, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 20:25 (eleven years ago) link
The only one I'm not really feeling is Skirting.
Love Identikit (especially the most recent version, which made it less Slowdivey and more Ye Olde Englishe Dubbesteppy) and Cut A Hole is just orgasms.
― a cake made of all their eyes (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Wednesday, 13 June 2012 20:25 (eleven years ago) link
I wasn't feeling Skirting on the Surface at first, but there's something about it that really gets to me now.
― Melissa W, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 20:26 (eleven years ago) link
How could you look at this picture, and choose kittens over him? Come ON. Have a sense of perspective.

Michael Stipe and Thom might not be what I define as good-looking but they look good you know. They've aged with dignity by the look of that photo.
I mean this is Billy Corgan nowadays:

I'm supposed to be studying for my Cornish exam and instead I'm looking up RH live bootlegs on YouTube.

x-post THOM IS BEAUTIFUL. HE IS A TRULY AMAZING LOOKING AND BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW ANYONE CAN LOOK AT HIM AND NOT THINK THAT HE IS JUST BREATHTAKING.
― a cake made of all their eyes (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Wednesday, 13 June 2012 20:28 (eleven years ago) link
It's a mystery.
― Melissa W, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 20:31 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah Corgan does say he would piss on Radiohead but the way I read it, it wasn't a direct jab at them, more like they were in the way of him pissing on these sort of rankings and he needed an example of guitarists who get ranked over Blackmore when they shouldn't. (His opinion, not mine.)
I do like Identikit but I feel they need to wrap it up a little bit more. This isn't the studio version tho so anything could happen before I give a final verdict on that one.
― Moka, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 20:32 (eleven years ago) link
(How would you mutate Thom anyway? Would you mutate it like a normal T sound, or would you mutate it like it was a "dh" (which is Cornish for the Th sound)?)
― a cake made of all their eyes (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Wednesday, 13 June 2012 20:35 (eleven years ago) link
((It's Tommas in Cornish so I guess it would mutate Dommas and Dhommas))
― a cake made of all their eyes (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Wednesday, 13 June 2012 20:37 (eleven years ago) link
(((no, wait - Thommas. Tommas Evrek. Easily amused)))
Yeah, anyway, I've learned not to judge the songs you aren't feeling live until they pop up as studio versions with Nigel noises on them. Haven't we had this conversation upthread? ;-)
― a cake made of all their eyes (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Wednesday, 13 June 2012 20:38 (eleven years ago) link
Thom has made a nice progression:

Find it funny how 'britpop' he looked circa The Bends. Probably my least favorite look of his, maybe because it reminds me of Chris Martin.

He's so damned WEIRD looking.
But in that photo, you can actually see the ring of green around the outside of his eyes, so, um, I approve.

Present day Thom is the most WCC-friendly. Haha. Virtually designed for you, tbh.
― Turangalila, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 21:31 (eleven years ago) link
The most designed-for-me version since Pablo Honey, at least. When I was really, really into eyeliner-wearing boys with bleached hair. Sigh. LOL, the 90s. The slow metamorphasis into Can-loving DDB took a while, but he got there in the end. Phew.

i want to make a reality show where the original lineup of deep purple and radiohead are forced to swap some members.
― wack nerd zinging in the dead of night (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 13 June 2012 21:43 (eleven years ago) link
i think "the unwritten law" off of house of blue light is the most radiohead sounding deep purple song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2M8NArrWis
and "the spanish archer" off that album would make a good radiohead song title imo

If you're not going to post fangirl pictures of Yorkes or Greenwoods, I believe you have the wrong Radiohead thread.
Has anyone else heard the rumour that Thom & Ed said the Atoms for Peace album wasnt happening until next year? It was on twitter but I'm scared to look elsewhere to confirm.
― a cake made of all their eyes (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Thursday, 14 June 2012 17:40 (eleven years ago) link
Ack. That would suck.

It's all over The Other Place. Thom said Atoms for Peace is coming next year.
How am I going to anticipate for that long?

HURRAH!!!!
Oh god yes!
On the downside: Flea will probably be involved. But on the upside, as much as I hate hate hate Flea's bass-playing he does make Thom wiggle in a way that reveals large amounts of his belly and even go fhirtless on occasion.
― a cake made of all their eyes (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Thursday, 14 June 2012 18:39 (eleven years ago) link

Is it cool if at some point I photoshop in someone else's belly in place of Thom's belly?
― Mad God 40/40 (Z S), Thursday, 14 June 2012 18:46 (eleven years ago) link
flea is a good bass player and def capable of not doing slap funk workout stuff, you'd never know it was him on the mars volta stuff he's done

Apparently Emika has done a cover of Exit Music for some OK Computer tribute album. I love Emika.
― Melissa W, Thursday, 14 June 2012 19:02 (eleven years ago) link
ZS I'm sure you could come up with the most excellent of photoshops regarding Thom's belly.
(I just had a vision of recursive Thom-belly to infinity and it both scared and aroused me.)
I just hate RHCP so much and I hate Flea's bass-playing (perhaps even worse when he's being "tasteful") that it just disappoints me so much that Thom is such a fan. When I found out his girlfriend's favourite band is RHCP I just cried a little, it's just... everything about that band, everything about their fanbase just revolts me and encapsulates everything I hate about music and about American Bro-culture and California and they have been, for my entire life, the music listening of choice for the people who beat me up in high school and assholes who shout out of cars calling me a dyke and just awfulness on every level that goes far beyond their awful tedious horrible music.
I guess I've just accepted long ago that Thom's taste in rock music and mine are never going to overlap, ever and though he seems really quite sensible when it comes to electronic music, I just try to blot that side of his music taste out of my mind.
!!!!!!! OK this is awesome and I wonder if it's related to SVIIB's cover of Subterranean Homesick Alien?
I also love Emika. I also know that Thom really rates Emika. Why oh why can't he just stick to his decent taste in electronic music, and stay away from RHCP and Flea and the awfulness that entails?
