- In 1993, a newly-famous Radiohead was invited to play on MTV. Yet the band found it hard to fit into the channel's cheerful, mainstream atmosphere, resulting in one of the most chaotic concerts in televised history. This is the story of Anyone Can Play Guitar - Live at the MTV Beach House.

He jumped into the pool in a fit of rage? Damn what a bad ass
You ever get so mad you just gotta take a bath lol
And almost drowned by the bricks he was wearing, what a dumbass
Keith Moon put a Rolls Royce in a pool 2

what a child
This is unironically one of my favourite performances by the band. And I listen to it often
All I see are spoilt wankers.
The ironic creep live version is also great, but my favorite performance by them is exit music at any year
Same here, I love this performance. I remember seeing it on MTV the week it aired. It’s got a strange nuance and appeal that I can’t put my finger on.
Fat. Ugly. Dead. *Throws tantrum*
Amazing. I recite this line exactly as performed when my doctor asks me how I’m feeling.
Me2🤟
huh, people were using the 'unironically' trend as long as a year ago. Interesting, wonder where that came from.

Hot
literally kurt cobain phase
Basically some very bad wiring mistakes would have had to be made in order for there to be any danger whatsoever from touching any type of microphone while wet. And the original version of this story has the production assistant slapping "the sparking mic out of his hand" which is just cartoonishly impossible on a number of levels. so the electrocution aspect of this story is highly suspect. I do believe his boots filled with water though
😂 thank you, I have the same level of skepticism as when I hear *stories* about people getting “electrocuted” by playing their guitar indoors with a lightning storm happening outside. Like in what universe is that super high voltage traveling through your 1/4” low-voltage guitar cable?
You're either grounded or you aren't. Being in a pool of water won't ground you.
Perhaps you should try.
@@maxpower92 you could jump in a pool holding a “live” dynamic microphone and you’d be perfectly fine. They don’t use power to operate. Even condensers use only 48dcv. It would be like holding a AA battery. A situation where there would be potential for danger would be if the mixing console it was plugged into wasn’t grounded and then that would have to be plugged into an electrical system with wrong or degraded wiring, which could send stray voltage back to the microphone. But you would know the first time your wet lips touched the grill, which his do many times through the performance. So you don’t know what you’re talking about and the electrocution aspect of this story is bs.
Who, exactly are you diagreeing with? Or do you always suggest that people you agree with should jump into a pool? And that statement is also completely false. You are always grounded, and you are never grounded, depending on where you draw the line. There is always a path to ground through you, but the resistance of that path can never be zero. The OP is correct. The voltage across a dynamic mic, is TINY. And phantom power to a condenser mic is only 36 volts, witch simply can't push enough current through a human, to even be felt unless he grabbed it with his tongue, and the phantom power circuit can't provide enough current, to even do any damage there
@@ashscott6068 I don't know about death, but I've definitely been shocked on my mouth by the mic because someone had removed the ground prong on the power strip my pedal board was plugged into.
The "Israeli dj" that played Radiohead on repeat is Yoav Kutner who is the mother and father of israeli rock culture. He played creep and other songs in his daily show, which led to a lot of israeli rock fans loving radiohead. When radiohead visited Israel in '93 the band members were amazed by the love they got from the fans, and got the backwind they needed to keep the band alive.
Thats so wholesome
Incredible story; it reminds me of a band like Air Supply being famous even now in the Philippines. It's probably a great feeling your band is strangely more popular in other countries that don't have English as their first language than your native nation.
and thats also when jonny met his wife sharona !!!!!!!!! radiohead brings us all together 💯💯
He parted the sea of turbulence for them.
Israel and it's people are amazing. ❤ 🇮🇱
Much love from Sweden!
4:00 “Johnny almost destroys his guitar as usual” great phrase
Kurt Cobain looked so crazy on that show, he's my favorite raidohead!1!1
Anyone Can Play Guitar is my favorite Pablo Honey Song. Makes me sad they abandoned it :(
it's a catchy tune
They hate it. But they hate Creep even more.
Pablo Honey is a shit album in general
@@williamknight2433 lazy opinion. They show flashes of later more complicated song writing. It’s like you asked Radiohead to make a 90s alt rock album. And that kicks ass
Vegetable is a good one as well
Saw Radiohead at the Venue in Oxford 1991 before they were signed. They have always been awesome.
They used to perform at Stocks pub in Abingdon as well. They have always been great.
0:35 I like that 8-bit remix of Creep
link😅😅
@@juanangelmartinez4544 You can find it in the description. There’s an unlisted playlist linked there of sources used for this video.
They were standing on the edge, it was a glorious day, they pulled him out of the lake, and he really was lucky.
oh my god
Pfffft
He was practicing for the No Surprises video in which he auditions for The OA before the series was ever imagined.
What the hell was going on with Thom’s hair in the early 90’s.
In some different timeline Radiohead were a 1 hit wonder band with the song Creep and Thom was just a trolly weird guy looking weird and creepy.
Well, believe it or not, in America they're technically a two-hit wonder band. Surprisingly, their only Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 were "Creep" in 1992 when it reached #34 and "Nude" in 2008 when it reached #37. In the rest of the world they have multiple hits, but strangely, as popular as they are, they only had two true hits in America.
Weirdly enough, the first time I saw/heard Radiohead was on the Arsenio Hall Show in the early 90's when Creep was getting popular. Apparently Arsenio had heard Radiohead and thought they were going to be the next big thing and HAD to have them on his show. Even though he primarily played rap and R&B.
I never knew of the Radiohead on Arsenio performance until now. It’s on CZcams! The Arsenio Hall Show featured lots of rock bands: INXS, Sting, Megadeth, Living Colour, Winger, Stray Cats, Warrant, KISS, and probably hundreds more.
You are way too underrated... holy **** I did not expect this quality. Really really well done!
This was a really well made video. ACPG MTV Beachouse is one of my favorite videos in existence and I didn’t know the story about everyone actually playing the guitar for the recording. Well done!
Didn’t know Radiohead were at times bordering on being a bit Punky in the early 90’s.
Radiohead in their early days were unrecognisable from what they would become just a short few years later.
Also when I think of a band that would be good for a party, the band I would least think of is Radiohead, heck Alice In Chains would come into my mind well before Radiohead, and AIC are very bleak. Yeah Radiohead’s Street Spirit will get people moving and bouncing.
*That’s* why I’ll always love their whole discography even though I mostly listen to soul&funk influenced music... the trajectory & evolution of each Radiohead album is crazy, it’s all unique but always different and could never be repeated. In that way & that way alone I can understand the Pink Floyd comparisons that people threw around during the Bends>OKC>Kid A era
Agreed. I think the best bands change their sound - goes with the territory of creativity. AIC and Radiphead being Fine examples!
Idioteque would get a party started.
They went to college
I would love to be at a party Alice in Chains were playing. When they did the New Years MTV ball drop party it looked awesome. But 1992 was a different time and now music is pure shit.
Algorithm recommendations done right, this was such a good video. Here before your channel blows up!
Fantastic video 👌
I’m shocked this doesn’t have more views
I love how Airbag plays near the end of the video!!
There's nowhere near enough voltage going through a live mic to cause anyone any harm. (Even with phantom power on, which it shouldn't be for a mic like that.)
The only exception would be if there was a problem with the overall power in the venue, in which case there would have always been danger regardless of the water.
these videos are so good and entertaining! keep it up ❤
Please come back, I love your videos!
Don't know what mics they used, but risk of electrocution was probably close to zero.
Great video. Waiting for the next one
I think the most imfamous Radiohead concert is the one in Toronto that never happened.
You know the one where someone was crushed to death.
Good point.
Don’t remember that but I saw them at a club in Toronto at this time as Thom was wearing the same shirt. Nobody was there but the club was RPM on Queens Quay. Jeez thinking about it now it was $20 and how much a ticket is now
New subscriber, excited to see what comes of your channel. Thanks and good luck!
I feel young again just watching this.
underrated channel, love the creep 8bit music
Great video, eager to see more like this!
some quality video right here. Subbed!
Its always funny when bands, movie directors, and so on, mock the very thing they end up becoming because no one gets the joke. I love it!
can barely read this nonsense
Ayo, this is a really well made video. love this performance so much that i got a necklace of thom screaming in this performance. i wear it everywhere. anyway, keep up the good work, man!! :)
i really wish i could see that
Thanks, will do! I'm curious what thom would think of the necklace
PLEWASE TELL EME WHERE YOU GOT IT
@@chrisbaple etsy :3
cringe.
I speak often of the MTV BEACH HOUSE Radiohead performance.
Damn, I was so young when I saw it first.
(Thom looked sick as hell I recall.)
The "rock music" of Roller Coaster Tycoon was an exquisite touch
“One of the greatest moments in music history”
Please tell me I heard that wrong.
You heard it right although the poor audio quality cuts out the "for that day" after the word "history".
Thom vocals in the performance are amazing
AnyWHERE
AAAAAA
AAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAA
Truly one of the live shows of all time
You're fast, thanks for an another video Cloudstie I hope you're doing fine. Also in that music video for the song that was taken down from their CZcams channel I think they made pretty good reference to Jim Morrison of the Doors aka 'The Lizard King' with that iguana. There is also an article about this song where Ed O'Brien's father criticizes the music video one month after the release of Computer in 1997
"lizard in a bottle yeahhhhhhh"
That's fascinating, I was wondering what that iguana was doing there. I'm doing quite well, how are you?
@@cloudstie i'm good, things are ok for me. Also people should stop complaining about the fact that those music videos exist still outside of CZcams
This is what you get for asking Radiohead to play Creep 4 times in a row.
Its been over a year.. still waiting for it to be continued. lol
I've always loved Thom and Jonny's on-stage energy and antics. They've both toned it down significantly, so seeing their young selves being absolutely stupid and loving it is so great.
beautiful
As a huge Red Hot Chili Peppers and Radiohead fan, I didn’t ask for this….. 3:07
He didnt have to do the peppers like that
he did
Gonna be honest, most RHCP songs sound the same to me.
sorry, it was a bad joke
0:18 i bursted out laughing when it suddenly jumped to thom angrily diving into the pool out of context
absolutely incredible video, well researched funny jokes good job
Nice vid. Kudos. Btw what’s the 8 bit vers of Airbag at the end , love it
Man this takes me back to the bad old days of toxic fandom. I used to be on a Radiohead fan forum back around the turn of the century. If someone came in, talking about how much they love the song "creep", instant mockery, and eventual ban. I think I was an admin, but I could've just been a loud asshole. I think I stuck with the forum until around Kid A's release. I'll admit, after amnesiac's release a year later, I had lost a lot of passion for the band. I still love old Radiohead, but I've never listened to any of Thom's solo albums, or the "new" Radiohead albums.
you should really give a moon shaped pool a listen! i’m also a long time fan that stuck to their older stuff but their last album really grew on me :)
TBH Radiohead fans are why I never got into Radiohead. It's like Dark Souls or Rick and Morty, if you hear someone talking about it just quietly pity them and move on
Great video, I get the feeling you're gonna get bigger
Yoooooo great video!!
So their most infamous gig was when they played a song not on the set and tom jumped in a pool? wild.
u forgot the part how screaming into a camera really was infamous like, crazy yo
Great dive Thom, very little splash...
4 weeks is long enough for them to've replied to your heartfelt letter... I hope you're now a Radiohead📻
The Radiohead "game" art exhibit experience thing called "Kid Amnesia" on Steam is amazing!
My Favorite Album was The Bends.
Yes they were already a great band
I remember when Pablo Honey came out thinking it was going to be UK grunge, and not being entirely into that idea. It really wasn't. It's got a couple of awesome tracks on it though, besides Creep. I'd go as far as to say it's a notable album for me, from a period that was full of them. I didn't know how massive they would become of course, but I was tuned in for sure.
Is that the ‘Rock’ ride music from rollercoaster tycoon 2 in the background.. haha
„There was a time when Creep was not Radiohead‘s most popular song.“ - yeah, that time is called „1995 and after“.
you HAVE to update us on the letter! lol. great video!
I didn't get a response unfortunately. I suppose either it got lost in the mailroom or the people at Capitol really don't want to be reminded of their Radiohead ad campaign
Pop isn't dead, it lives on in modern "country" music
WHAT
That kind of county is just city
Siempre me pareció random ver a radiohead un una casa de playa
U gained a sub. Keep up the good stuff.
Thanks! I'll do my best!
Woah sick RHCP jab bro
Its only milivolts that run through a dynamic mic like the shure sm58 … the mixer was grounded, so it would have shut off immediately… thats why bands still can perform in heavy rain … remember prince at the hlftime show at superbowl?
Why would it be a problem to grab a standard live microphone from the pool? Do people think those are some super high voltage powered circuits?
Thom would've almost died there dude. We could've lost him that day. And there was a high risk of electrocution
@@piotrjasinski2130 ehm. No.
please upload again, you're a great youtuber
COME BACK PLEASE
Kill me but i like Pablo Honey !!! and it was my first album ever 💪
I watched this live. So fucking brilliant.
So wheres the continuation? Its been over a year. Im still waiting!
This really lacks context for 1993. Kennedy was the VJ for Alternative Nation, and in the years following Nirvana & Jane’s Addiction this isn’t particularly shocking, or out of place.
I’d also mention that MTV used that shot of Yorke jumping in the pool for its own bumpers and brand identity all summer.
It’s noteworthy in that Radiohead goes on to be something much more, and what really stands out to me is the cringe of Yorke screaming at the camera.
It’s also not really “spontaneous” or unplanned considering the editing and different camera effects. I don’t remember if Beach House was broadcast “live” but there’s a lot of post production on the video
Thanks for the context!
what do you mean by cringe?
I can see Tom dying and the first person he sees on the other side being Jim Morrison saying, "Talentless bastard am I?".
new favorite ytber
Qué buen escritor eres. Uffff.
Ah hell yeah i love New Yorke, my favourite musician
Ed was like "help i can't stop playing my guitar", whilst colin was like "yay" at the end
Cheers! I am a new sub off of this 😊
I’m mad they got rid of their old videos! I’d like to see them. What’s their issue with Pablo honey? And yet creep remains up?
i used to the beach by that long island MTV house my cousin used to go there
Imagine singing a song 4 times just to get all the camera angles
Oh the Good Old Days when Mtv used to play music videos😁
1:32 Johnny's just straight up yo-yo his guitar.
this entire thing was chaotic
I don't thinkhe would've been in any real danger with the microphone ending up in the pool. It would've had to be grounded wrong, for that to happen.
Love radiohead and all but it took me 2 full minutes to unlock the memory that the background music is from Roller Coaster Tycoon's coaster music!
Great video! What was the song at the very end?
That letter was so smart, you won't a bunch of songs from Pablo Honey into that one little note 🤩
Mars Volta trolled better at the Latin VMAs with drunkship of lanterns performance where Cedric crawls over people and throws pit bulls glasses
I live 12 miles from that old MTV Beachouse, and I've Dj'ed it, knowing DJ Skribble since 88' i was already Djing all the big Hamptons clubs, all you need in the Hamptons to get in the club and bypass the massive line outside, is bring your records cases from the club you just Djed at. and I had 2 beautiful gold and see-through Odyssey cases, I would go on to work for MTV Radio Station on Long Island.
Imagine saying this was the most chaotic concert and clearly not understanding that heavy metal exists where people have actually died during concerts.
I remember watching this live
You're the luckiest
I watched this “live”
And Lurgee is the best song on Pablo Honey
Right up there with Mould play and snore patrol .
Background guitar in the beginning is Stupid Car, not sure if it's on any official album? I've got it on something called Oxford angels, I think.
I don't think they ever put it on an official album, but it's on their debut Drill EP. I wish they'd put it on more releases, it's better than most Pablo Honey songs in my opinion
Wow, he jumped into the pool, what a rebel.
8bit remixes truly are a thing that happens
Imagine dying after making fun of someone for being dead...
Thatd actually be kinda funny
Considering the way Morrison died, screaming "anyone can play guitar," truly tragic.
4:52 Ok Computer? The Bends was their next album.
Pablo Honey is and will always be one of my favorite Radiohead albums.
Right out of the gate, "It was at this moment... he knew.. (he focusing on sales)"
you’re tweakin bro
Stop
based
You should try listening to some of the other ones then
He was so pissed at Jim Morrison he was about to storm the gates of heaven to slap his shit
Dude he did not jump into the pool in a fit of rage
