No problem! I was happy to help. Basically he's explaining why Radiohead change their sound every album instead of just making music that sounds the same as earlier music that they already made. That's why Kid A and OK Computer are so different from each other. It's understandable that you still don't know what it means because he says 'umm' and 'you know' a lot, and since he's making up these sentences as he's talking they're not very coherent and they don't flow very well. Essentially he's saying that if you write music and you're trying to make it authentic and you are passionate about it (if you 'mean it'), you shouldn't make music that you think other people will like, and you shouldn't repeat yourself just to be safe and make sure people buy the music, you should take risks and try new things. Essentially the point is not to make artistic compromises, and to have faith in your new ideas. He also says that he does this because he 'can't not', which is his way of saying it's in his nature to take risks and he couldn't possibly make artistic compromises in order to make money or stay popular, because that's not the person he is. His personality is so against making musical compromises that it's like he couldn't possibly do it even if he tried. If there's anything you didn't understand in this comment, or in the original comment please say and I'd be happy to help you even more.

@mikethered123 5 жыл бұрын

Well, I can tell you what it means to me. When I was a young artist, I released a record that was basically me trying to be something I wasn't. My bandmates were really into certain bits of rock from the late 60s and early 70s. They'd play me records all day long, and some of them I did like, but most I disliked. I knew it wasn't the kind of music or mood I was currently in in my life. But, to try to make them happy, and also to make myself seem smarter and potentially sell records, I went along with it and pretended to understand the emotion and soul behind that sort of music. It was an abysmal failure. It took me 15 years, but later I realized what a fucking waste of time that was, and that I should have just done exactly what I wanted to do. Now, I could have been very unlucky, and what naturally came out of my body may have been really repulsive or really uninteresting to most people, but there is no other way to make music. Would you rather be a fraud and a success or an honest artist and a failure? I'd rather be the latter. But the catch is that if you're truly honest, and just put it out there- yourself, naked, vulnerable and true, most of the time, you'll touch someone who feels the exact same way. And that single moment makes it all worthwhile.

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.

For real, you're right, at least he cares enough to engage with political issues and speak his opinions . . what did ppl want?? What, oh, he's supposed to just sit there and expound endlessly on inspirations for songs? Glamorize through the recording process as if it's some magical journey, and then wax nostalgia while Marc summarizes his career? And sit around and laugh and tell charming and silly club stories? How many times can an artist do that interview?? God, ppl always reduce artists to the product of their art, as if that's the entire core of their being. If he wants to talk about society, let him.
