oh wow another inaudible generic song by radiohead, yaye! i’d rather watch the paint peel off my walls.thom yorke writes bland, self indulgent music. hey maybe i should detune my guitar and warble my vocals through a distortion pedal too! get a life radiohead fans! snap!

fuck you! Radiohead is better than your useless life

hmmm must be a nickelback fan

hey anonymous you and eric make quite a pair, you guys should hook up and take turns being the woman, hahaha.hey i just wrote a song as good as anything thom yorke ever wrote. i simply farted through a mic, snap! waddaya got huh? nothin’!

wow anonymous is upset, i guess hearing the truth hurts, radiohead is terrible, try not to lose sleep over it, snap!

they used to be good, not they just try to be all preachy and use more electronics than guitars

Don’t listen to green monkey. It sounds like the ramblings of a Jonas Brothers fanatic. I can’t wait for the next album.

any band that associate it’s self with twilight, loses all respect or pride

Radiohead is boring overrated music since kid A, Thom Yorke’s vocals are incoherent mumbling.

Great band, but not a great song. The music is nice, but the vocals leave a bit to be desired. Oh well, they can’t all be winners and this band has had more than their fair share of winners.

Why? Dont you mean loses all of YOUR respect and pride, which, in effect, means nothing? I could care less about Twilight but your statement is just dumb.

it just means that radiohead is better than that to be doing a twilight song

That sounds pretty elitist. So if Radiohead like Twilight, they shouldn’t contribute to it?

snaps are lame.

Shame on you Radiohead using a poor man’s death to whore one of your boring songs. You couldn’t even think of ur own lyrics, Thom?

yes laff-able that’s right. twilight sucks and if thom yorke watched the movie, cause i doubt if he reads, i would say he sucks based on that. oh yeah laff-able that word you used ‘elitist’ that’s a hard word for you. i hope you were sitting down when you came up with that one, snap!

Radiohead haven’t produced anything worth listening to since Amnesiac.

Ha ha Thom is doing a song for Twilight, Oh how the mighty have fallen!

go radiohead

Radiohead was, is and will remain one of the most important and influential bands of our generation (I’m 28). If you don’t like their sound, that’s cool. But it’s hard to deny their uniqueness and profound effect on music throughout their diverse career. Their live show is simply fantastic and riveting. Can’t wait for more material – In Rainbows was one of the best albums of the past decade.

The new song is shockingly gorgeous and, in my opinion, very cinematic, thanks to Jonny’s string arrangement. I am, however, pretty livid about Thom’s Twilight contribution. Here’s an artist who turns down Sir Paul McCartney’s offer to record a duet, but he’s willing to record a song for the soundtrack to a big giant pile of pop culture bullshit. Weird.

i haven’t heard the song he’s doing for the kids’ vampire movie, but until it’s out i’m going to remain hopeful it’s a big joke.

Not only could I write better music, I have only written better music.

And yes, I can write string parts, lending my music a “cinematic” air.

I respect Radiohead but this song is so deeply terrible that I worry that they’ve lost some of their fundamental good taste.

I cannot believe Thom would work on Twilight. He is far too smart to be involved in that stupid drivel. Idiots with stunted-emotional growth like Pete Wentz are into that dumbass series.

I think Green Monkey got Radiohead confused with sonic youth. I love how it’s become fashionable for hipsters to trash radiohead. In Rainbows was incredible, The Present Tense is great and so is Harry Patch. Whether you like Twilight or not (I don’t), who cares, more new Radiohead! Calm down you pricks! I couldn’t imagine how much time I could waste trashing the artist/band of a majority of articles I read but I don’t because I have a life and just don’t care. One more thing, Songwriter, no you can’t. I’m sure you’re awful!

I have not heard it but, I hope they ditch the trendy “U2-soundalike” junk. Coldplay should do the same. Not just cuz that’s gotten redundant, but because when Keane does it, they make these guys look like idiots.(Including U2).

This song is terrible! LOL. Radiohead only produced one song worth a turd….Creep. Boringest band alive??? This gets my vote. They should’ve played all Radiohead music on Watchmen, the boringest movie ever. They would’ve matched perfectly

You call that singing? More like sounding like a Gorilla trying to give birth. I love how these Radiohead fans bash other bands, that actually have talented singers and arent boring. Guess I wouldnt expect Radiohead fans to like denres such as I dont know….punk. Talk about polar opposites.

The comments in this article have just enlightened me to the fact that apparently an incredible band such as Radiohead could have haters. Least now I won’t feel as bad whenever my band gets haters.

Dude, like anyone on here gives a rip.

when radiohead auditioned for a singer did it go like this?:
wanted , pretentious, arrogant, artsy wannabe who dances like a bobble head to join band with fellow ugly musicians, to have top ten hit then lose credibility not too long into career.

just like any band who stays around a long time,they tend to lose their “MOJO”!!! The Cure did,the Stones now have more bad stuff out than good.Dylan lost it,so did Lennon.The only band that went out on top was the BEATLES,for obvious reasons!

to green monkey-

wow, it takes a real smart guy to make fun of one of the most influential bands garbage, noone values your opinion, because we all know youve listened to probably 1 song, or 2, and valued it as different from your generic scheme of recycled music that makes your little cooter tickle. Your running into a battle field with a plastic gun and an uneducated mind, so please shut up

This song is ugly [by Radiohead's genius standards].

[...But it's STILL better than any f**kin' song on the radio/tv right now. F**k Kanye!]

I have come to believe that bands have about a five year life span before they decline and become embarrassing shadows of their former selves.

As far as The Beatles…extremely overrated. Bubblegum lyrics…limited musicianship…and zero stage presence. I wanna hold your hand??? Ohhh, that’s so groundbreaking. Hacks!

The last part about Twilight is a dumb TMZ like rumor. Fame in America has its side effects. It’ll get you fans of all sorts who’d say associate you with whatever they find cool.

We are the new radiohead.

To “anonymous”: You are retarded.

The Beatles wrote their BEST stuff in their final years.

And what is this 5 year lifespan? PINK FLOYD wrote their best material from 1970-1980. That’s DOUBLE your time frame, douchebag.

Great band, appreciate the sentiment here but the tune is absolute
rubbish . Sounds like an Eraser outtake.

i challenge green monkey to list his favorite musical acts and why they are so much more credible than radiohead.

I think this is one of Radioheads best songs (that i’ve heard).

Hi,
Interesting, I`ll quote it on my site later.

I used to be anti Radiohead. I didnt understand why people liked them at all. Then one day I decided to give In Rainbows a chance and i LOVED IT!! Then I went out and bought the Bends and Ok Computer and LOVED THEM! Next its Kid A! People before bashing something, try it. Bands like Radiohead, Pearl Jam, Coldplay, Phish, The Killers, and Kings Of Leon are what we have to channel good music for the future. Enjoy them before there gone.

To Anonymous regarding “As far as The Beatles…extremely overrated. Bubblegum lyrics…limited musicianship…and zero stage presence. I wanna hold your hand??? Ohhh, that’s so groundbreaking. Hacks!”

the moronic absurdity of the above statement has me ROTFLMAO. Have another bong hit anonymous…

Radiohead would bottle their own farts and sell them if they could. This song is an insult to Harry Patch.Thom Yorke sounds like Cartman when he sings!I have never met a Radiohead fan. It must be because they all stay indoors contemplating how to change their pants. As for ‘most influential’,I guess people influenced by Radiohead would be influenced by my 6 year old niece with a Xylophone!

oh shut up dogboy! fuckin loser

speaking as someone who would happily listen to ok computer, kid a and amnesiac back to back for a week, i think this is utter utter shite. i can’t believe people will still lap this crap up.

this is crap. seriously. does radiohead think they’re Beethoven all of a sudden? they are a bunch of hacks. it really shows you how brilliant REAL composers are…instead of these Posers. Thom yorke sounds like shit. he’s a crap singer. say what you want about Bono, but he sings rings around this douche bag. Radiohead needs a real singer.

It’s a beautiful piece of music. it was written and recorded prior to the death of Harry Patch, who not survived 2 world wars but then had to deal with the personal aftermath until his death at the age of 111. Some of the comments regarding the sentiment and purpose of this release are quite frankly disgusting. All proceeds are donated to an ex servicemens charity. Some of the comments here are sickening…you should be ashamed.

“Not only could I write better music, I have only written better music.

And yes, I can write string parts, lending my music a “cinematic” air.

Ok…So where can i buy your latest album? You sound like a complete fuckwit to me mate.

Try listening to Sigur Ros, watch Heima, then you tell be about this new song of Radiohead. Try listening to this song while driving your car alone at night when it’s slowly raining. Good music, good songs have their own attitude. If you love music, you should know that. It’s more than just commercializing, or making sense.
