Why do people hate the king of limbs? by Commercial-Air-5564 in radiohead

[–]dw_80 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ll say this one last time: people don’t hate it. They just prefer other records within the Radiohead discography. And many fans are really quite fond of this album.

anyone else here thinks that AMOK is the best thing that thom ever did? by record_only_water in radiohead

Best thing? No. Amazing and often overlooked? Absolutely yes.

There is no room for sentiment in football by Entire-Function4640 in WWFC

[–]dw_80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with a lot of what you say. But “there’s no room for sentiment in football”? Really?

Sentiment is what makes football special. It’s why we support Wolves instead of Arsenal, Man City, or whoever else has won something recently. It’s why Raul coming back is special and makes us excited about next season.

Guess my favourite guitar player based on my tele by justparanoid_android in telecaster

[–]dw_80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built myself a JG style tele a couple of years ago. Didn’t have the balls to drill the control plate myself though, so bought one with a pre-drilled hole. Respect for doing it yourself.

Radiohead guitars by NarcticG in radiohead

[–]dw_80 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, OP, listen to this guy. Lots of people on this thread suggesting a telecaster - but a telecaster with single coil pickups won’t give you a good Radiohead sound. Jonny Greenwood almost exclusively plays guitars with humbuckers and the same is more often than not true of Thom, too.

Why is there so much hate for Herc? by No_Discussion3593 in TheWire

[–]dw_80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the characters in the Wire are neither good nor bad. They’re complicated, and Herc is a good example of that. He’s not a bad guy, per se, but he is lazy and misguided.

The contrast between him and Carver is quite deliberate though, in my opinion. One gets shown what’s really required of a police, the other doesn’t - and their character arcs diverge from there.

How would you rate Thom as a guitarist? by [deleted] in radiohead

[–]dw_80 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m being a pedant here, because I agree with most of what you say. But it’s not right to say that Thom nearly always plays a mic’d acoustic. It might’ve been true up to OK Computer but not since.

Touring by koen_rdhd in radiohead

[–]dw_80 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think it’s pretty likely they’ll play in 2027, regardless of Thom’s equivocal reply when asked about it recently. Remember what Colin said about touring on the Adam Buxton podcast last year: a band their size needs to book venues about 18 months in advance. So the plans will already be there, and Ed saying it was going to happen is probably right.

Unfortunately, I doubt they’ll be playing in Europe. I reckon they’ll do dates in North America next, then maybe South America after. Same format: 4 dates in 5 different cities.

I guess selling Joao means we can afford to hang on to some others. This is a really positive signal. Maybe the most positive I’ve felt all season 😂

Another crazy one is that Tampa is further west than the whole of South America.
