"A lame Bends song" Now I know how religious nuts feel when their gods are slammed. Planet Telex is an incredible song! One of the biggest highlights of their "rockier" days, imo.
That's funny. My friend and I were talking about how Planet Telex is an amazing song and was one of the early Radiohead songs that still has a place in their newer "post Kid A" sound.
Planet Telex is one of my fav songs. To see Thom playing an acoustic piano version is simply amazing! I suppose a great musician/performer can take a relatively simple (yet astoundingly great) song and produce a masterpiece. Nobody will reproduce the Beatles or Nirvana, but I believe Thom (and Radiohead, as a whole) are the icons of the 90's-21st century and the musicians at the epicenter of musical inspiration.
@@watkinscopicat Yup, the piano sounds nice on the record, though it's surrounded by lush instrumentation and effects pedals. I like the full band version, and also this stripped down version.
ah.. Radio Head, to be a group this known and be at the same time, still underrated imho, is a testament to Yorke's amazingly original style for composing, arranging, singing and delivering..
@drewthegoo by playing the chords on piano... of all the amazing things thom yorke has done, turning 'this rocker into a piano ballad' is not really one of them
@Longpigmss Well, I mean, we'd all like him to; Thom would like him to, but he's not the young, wild, musician who can just run in and belt out like 5 G#'s followed by two high A's. That's pretty tough for anyone, and Yorke's great, my personal idol, but he's just not at that age anymore. He's more of a wise, emotionally brilliant singer now.
Perhaps but I kind of think O'Riley's versions are awful. He doesn't realise that the musical harmonics/frequencies of one instrument going well together isn't always going to transpose well on another instrument with totally different frequency harmonics (that's why a piano sounds like a piano and a trumpet like a trumpet - different frequency harmonics, generated from tne instruments design). O'Riley's pure piano versions sound fucking horrible to me. Like the goodness has been removed.
So glad to see Thom still thinks Planet Telex is worth playing. Easily one of their greatest songs IMO.
My favorite track from the Bends, usually ignored by everyone else. Glad Thom has revisited it.
I literally skip it every time I listen to The Bends haha. This piano version is much better than the record version.
he turns an opening rocker to a floating piano ballad

This song works really well on piano.
the original features (Rhodes) piano

@taquitozz Atube catcher haha x)!
I wonder if Christopher O'Riley's piano versions of Radiohead songs inspired this...
@Timaster fail.
Does a recording of this without the intro cut off exist? Sheesh people, anyways this beautiful, he turned a lame Bends song into something amazing.
I agree, O'Riley's versions are bland and watered down.
Perhaps but I kind of think O'Riley's versions are awful.
