I find it really fascinating that Thom answers How to Disappear Completely without a second's thought.

I'm so happy about How to Disappear Completely being his favourite.

Weird. He was right, people are saying that Kid A is the best album now lol

"The whole point of music is that it's life affirming-" *Street Spirit plays over Thom*

im not sure thom realizes how influential and loved he is. he seems uncomfortable sometimes but id say 99.9% of anyone that knows more than 2 or 3 radiohead songs thinks the world of thom

"Cause it's the most beautiful thing we ever did" -Thom Yorke before recording Reckoner

One of the most complicated and beautiful minds ever.

He knows that Kid A is masterpiece.

For an entire year everyday during class I'd put in my earbuds and listen to Radiohead and that's how I got through each day

The fact that, in 2006, Thom was beginning to piece together how important the internet community would become (see 5:04) is extraordinary to me. He nailed it.

His favorite song is How To Disappear Completely! That's my fav as well. It really is something else

"god help them if they listen to me"

3:51 Thom caught the interviewer picking her nose...

"Music is like mathematics"..... Now i know why i can't play guitar 😐

"How to Disappear Completely... The most beautiful thing we did..." And I can play that song at home having wine... it's surelly the best moment of my week. :)

I just started listening to radio head recently so I decided to watch an interview or two, thom really seems like a brilliant person.

I can never tell if he's being a sarcastic ass, intentionally humble or still very unsure of himself even with the money and fame...

'How to Disappear Completely' is my favorite RH song as well, It's profoundly powerful. Hands down one of the most emotionally thought-provoking songs I've ever heard. I feel I have such a personal and deep connection with this band on a whole and it all began with Kid A.

What a nice human being. Misunderstood perhaps? I think His / Radiohead's music is quite simple some of the best ever created, and the arts are so much richer for their existence and offerings.

He's so weird. He's freaking awesome.

A moon shaped lamp in the background :P

Let down is my favorite song

Thom York is a powerful shaman.

I feel so sad for his loss of Rachel Owen. I hope he's doing OK. I know they were no longer together when she died but it must've hurt him. I just hope he's better.

He is such a wise man, I like his view on music and life

Really love this... I think he knows he's dealing with a smart interviewer so his answers are a bit more sophisticated... Love the stuff about patterns.

The more interviews I watch of him, the less I understand him. It's not easy to talk on camera by all means but he's so orally incoherent. Going on tangents, not really answering the questions..and yet I find it fascinating how amazing he can convey feelings and meaning so acutely through his music.

In my opinion, How to Disappear Completely is the best representation of anxiety. It perfectly captures that horrible feeling.

Lord Yorke.

0:32 so true, even nowadays a lot of fans has stated that Kid A is their best album. but its hard to pinpoint which one really is their best

I'm glad I've found Thom Yorke's music even it's late (2013) I felt connected with him He is the medium of the misunderstood. The simple yet complex. I hope more musician are as passionate as Thom.

To all the people unsure about his personality and whether he's being sarcastic or not, try focusing on his right eye. I realized his face is much more expressive than I thought, because I got used to staring at his left eye. I feel he can definitely be sarcastic, but the man today is a great person overall. He's really something else.

Is funny how accurate he was about Kid A... and now people is thinking In Rainbows is Radiohead's best album 2001-2006: The Bends 2006-2011: Ok Computer 2011-2017: Kid A 2017-????: In Rainbows Maybe A Moon Shaped Pool will have the same destiny

Airbag is my favorite. OK computer being my favorite album.

Radiohead fans are so caring and protective of these guys ..even with all the fame, they exude humility and a touching lack of awareness of how much they are loved..not idolized..loved by you guys. In these times it’s really nice to see true artists doing what they love and so well. 💙👍🏽

It's like he almost knew that Kid A was gonna receive much more praise in the future.

Well Thom, I love "How to Disappear" so there you go! It's one of my absolute favorite song of yours.

The interviewer has not even finished her question and Thom answers "How to Disappear". That is powerful folks.

Hats off to the interviewer this is the best interview with Thom Yorke I have ever seen

How to dissappear completely it's his favourite one!! OMFG :'D

Thom Yorke is just a fascinating artist, Radiohead can do sound check and it still sounds phenomenal

A friend of mine influenced me to take a deep dive into Radiohead. That was about 3 years ago. Haven’t seen her since graduation and to my knowledge she has disappeared completely. Hope she’s happy and things are going well.

Thanks so much I hadn't seen this one before!

One of my fave bands ever, one annoying thing about watching them play live they make playing music look completely fucking effortless!!!

My favorite part is 2:08 where he describes why he writes music and the role of music in his life, very insightful and aware.

The last question and his last response made me smile so wide :')

i'd love to see a conversation between thom and david mitchell lol

I love how much he’s hyping up Kid A here bc it literally is so amazing and the internet agrees

How to Disappear Completely = The best and most fantastic, happy to share this choice with Thom !

Started listening to radiohead about a week ago and so far it's great

Your voice is BEAUTIFUL. WHAT THE HELL???? God, your voice is like the most AMAZING voice there has EVER been!!!!!!

im watching interviews from 2003 to 2006 and holy damn. 3 years and such a drastic negative change in thom's perspective and mind. he got so much depressed. the way he instantly replied with how to disappear

Yea once I was playing around on the guitar in my living room after school and I acidentally wrote the first few bars of electioneering by Radiohead. At the time I had only heard the song a few times on the radio or at the mall, never intentionally listened to it anyway. So when I hit the first few notes of the song, which are just standard g minor penatonic scale, i just kept going thinking that the melody was coming from my head. So I kept playing till I ended up finishing the song and after a while I ended up recording it. I put it out on KZfaq and decided to name the song ‘Somewhere over the rainbow 2’. The video got over 30 views on the internet and so Walt Disney signed me a record deal with them. I played ‘somewhere over the rainbow 2’ at a my first concert in Down Under Australia. Among all the head-banging kangaroos I see Jonny Greenwood, Radiohead guitarist, who by the way is even sexier in person. He looked angry. At this point in time I realised that the song hadn’t come from my head and I had actually ripped of Radiohead. So at the sight of Jonny boy i darted for the exit. But just as I got there he cornered and BOOM he cracked me over the head and I was out like a light. I woke up tied to a chair, disorientated, in what looked like a massive where house. In the corner I see Jonny sharpening what looked a large collection of weapons. After a while of thick silence he slowly walked towards me with dagger the size of his of a guitar. He said only to words, ‘My song’ He started to press the dagger into my cheek, drawing drops of blood. I screamed hard into my sodden gag. Screamed harder and harder hoping someone would receive my cry of hope. But I had little hope, at least until I heard a cry. The high pitched girly voice of Thom Yorke. My prayers had been answered. He ran forward, covered my ears, and let out an almighty wail. Johnny was brought to his knees. Thom Yorke had saved. He said that I was 2.40x better than Jonny anyway so now I play as Radiohead’s guitarist but in disguise as Jonny greenwood. True story. I know no one will believe me because it’s a very crazy story but it is true. Kangaroos do exist.

Discovering Radiohead is a fucking journey

aaa, why not 1-how to disappear completely 2-climbing up the walls 3-fake plastic trees 4-everything in its right place 5-paranoid android 6-weird fishes 7-i might be wrong 8-there there 9-bloom 10-stop whispering works as a playlist. backwards, of course.

Look. Look here. You can see Thom is actually comfortable. Hes in a warm, comfortable enviorment and laughing instead of sweating and looking around anxiously. Take notes, reporters.

Thom, even to this day does not realise how brilliant he is.

4:09 yes sir, i agree with you, your live performance of that song is powerful 🙏

I love how he just finishes the sentences questions) for her in the beginning.

This was a really long 7 minutes, in the best possible way. Absorbing!

I love Thom, he's amazing!!!

Sign of a great band that their ‘greatest album’ continues to change.

Such a brilliant person

throughout history, the greatest music induces a temporary state of enlightenment, where we experience both the fullness and emptiness of everything all at once, the two co-existing in seeming contradiction in human language, but in complete harmony at a higher level of consciousness. How to Disappear Completely is one of perhaps a couple of dozen pieces of music that does that for me. Allegri's Miserere is another - go check it out if you don't know it already.

The best they've ever done was The King of Limbs Live From the Basement. That was aggresive and cool and stripped down and they had to correct their CD versions who now sound half cooked. My fave album of them and I am a fan and love all they do.

Interesting how to disappear is Thom's favourite work. Tbf it is a beautiful song

Thom Yorke wouldn't have been a welcome guest in my place if he didn't do "Kid A / Amnesiac" which is one of the greatest albums I ever heard particularly "Idioteque" and his solo work "The Eraser" which is absolutely stunning.

How to disappear is the most beautiful sound to come out of Radiohead and that's saying something as i think the majority is genius especially knives out and videotape

“ Music is life affirming “ Brilliant

Futuristic 👏👏👏

Thom spot on about changing things, especially politically because that was her genuine question...HOWEVER THE MUSIC THOM CREATED PULLS ON THE SOUL OF THE CONSCIOUS PERSONALITY!!!!

He’s so attractive

How to Dissapear Completely - their best song from their best album by the best band.

One great artist ...

i like the way the woman looks at thom

pure genius...he talks with deep sense...

I am SO i love with Thom

a handsome creep

Lol that’s cool cause how to disappear completely has been my favorite song of all time for a long while now

I'm fairly certain "you really should put that verse back in" is in regards to the ending of Paranoid Android.

I found the thing about David Kelly very interesting, having heard nothing about it before then finding out that Harrowdown Hill was him i did some research. Interesting indeed.

That one sentence is the holy truth and wish people would listen: “People are perfectly capable of making their own decisions”. Yeah, take note fuckers!

Absolute genius.

He is very articulate, very smart and same time you can tell he is very humble. He has a massive influence with the music he writes/compose yet he honestly thinks people should not take his work or what he says seriously becuase he trust the induvidual more. The music and the induvidual fan experience is bigger than him or the band.

He looks 20 years younger than he does today here yet the video looks like it was recorded yesterday.

Watching this 8 years later...I wonder if How to Disappear completely still is his favorite (I love that song) but to be fair, I'm trying to think of a Radiohead song that I don't like and I can't think of any ...still thinking watching my wall like an idiot and nope, I like all their songs, whoever reads this...please tell me a Radiohead song that you don't like

i love one man

トムヨーク大好きすぎる

Thom was totally right....Kid A is now considered their crown achievement....

3:34 and following... Asked about possibly influencing people. “I think people are perfectly capable of making their own decisions.. and God help ‘em if they need to listen to me.” The difference between Thom Yorke and Bono in a nutshell. Thom puts his ideas and concerns out there but doesn’t push you or try to shame you into following him whatsoever. It has to be your well considered choice... on your own. I saw U2 five times and was huge into them and I get it... Before most people did. But the endless preaching and lecturing by Bono has become burdensome to me especially from 1986 onward... “This is a song Charlie Manson stole from The Beatles... and we’re stealing it back.” What level of hubris and self absorption could bring someone to such a claim? I grew up in the 60s and 70s and a bit in the 80s and we knew about Charlie Manson but we knew that was some crazy guy off his nut... Never did I or any of my friends say or think 🤔 Gee, I hope someone comes along with a shitty cover of Helter Skelter to get it back from Charlie Manson and to return it safely to The Beatles 🤔.It’s really quite moronic when you think about it. Thank you Thom Yorke for not kissing ass.

Thom and Radiohead were sooooooo ahead of their time

The first Radiohead song I learned to play - How to disappear completely

That one moment towards the end of How to Disappear Completely where the strings drop out for a second and Thom's vocals float above the acoustic guitar.

old interview, and i'd wonder if he's changed his mind. but musicians surely have more influence on wider society than thom acknowledges. the whole point of artistry is articulation, and he does a job few others can do for the emotions and experiences of his listeners

Thom is a genius.

I love how street spirit was a preview to how to disappear completely

He sounds - a little - like Dean Learner; I was waiting for him to talk about the, "Realm of the Fantastique".

He really looks like Limmy from the original Dee Dee mirror sketch.

He's one of my favorite singers I feel influenced by. The others are Michael Stipe, Tom Waits, Bruce Springsteen, and Bono

Absolutely
