That's the price you pay for desperation for fame. They piggybacked grunge and aped Nirvana to get famous and it worked. Now pay the piper.

Heh

Heh

Everyone has to start somewhere...

Btw, I really like the guitar lines for "Knives Out." They have some interesting chord/note progressions here and there. Vocals in general can kind of drown all of that out after a while though. Shrug it is.

Holy smokes, those cutaways!

They've clearly paid their dues.

This is tremendous. You couldn't make it up.

Shruggy Notice

I came around to Radiohead a bit after seeing this performance on From The Basement about 12 years ago. Bodysnatchers is a pretty kick ass tune.

Not my favorite band in the world, but they have enough songs that I love to warrant a vote better than a shrug.

It’s funny to think of the creative trajectories of Radiohead vs. Weezer. Both bands exploded with slick, capital-A, capital-R Alternative Rock hits in the early 90s. Both hits ripped off the Pixies. (Although “The Sweater Song” is the more shameless ripoff—of “I Bleed”—of the two.) Both bands seemed eager to do the MTV thing.

Since then, Radiohead have behaved like a real band. Maybe they raided their Can, Neu, Pol, and Autechere records for inspiration, but they don’t really sound like any of those bands, and nobody in the year 2000 thought that the path to commercial success passed through Can.

Weezer, on the other hand . . .
