Piano vs. weird-o synth version of Like Spinning Plates?

[U2Man]

I would have to say the piano version.

 

[Lancemc]

Same here.

 

[FitzChivalry]

Well, the thread is a bit biased to begin with since it has "weird-o" as an adjective for the synth version, and no derisive adjective for the piano version.


That said, the piano version is good, but the album/synth version is

 

[U2Man]

there's nothing wrong with weird-o.

 

[FitzChivalry]

so you don't think "weird-o" has a negative connotation?

so if i was talking to someone and said, "that U2Man", versus me saying, "that weird-o U2Man," you don't think one would imply something over the other?

*pointless language debate begin!*







(and since i like the dark side, i'm sticking with the Amnesiac synth version )

 

[LMP]

wait, two different versions?

live vs. studio

 

[FitzChivalry]

i believe, but i'm not sure, that U2Man is talking about the recorded version off "Amnesiac" and then the way they play it live with Thom on piano.

 

[LemonMelon]

Album = crap
Live = better

 

[xaviMF22]

album is so much better]

live is ok

Exactly!

I like the album version but absolutely love the live version with piano. That should answer your question.

you're not a true radiohaed fan then

 

[Zoots]

you're not a true radiohaed fan then

Isn't it the real Thom that plays the piano live?

 

[xaviMF22]

Isn't it the real Thom that plays the piano live?

No its Phil actually

 

[LemonMelon]

I really need to pick up I Might Be Wrong soon.

 

[xaviMF22]

I really need to pick up I Might Be Wrong soon.

true love waits

 

[LMP]

ohhhh, cool.

yep, the i might be wrong ep is 75 different types of amazing.

speaking of which, the live version of i might be wrong completely owns the shit version of amnesiac.

God Bless you Xavi! God Bless you!





Amnesiac - Like Spinning Plates

 

[intedomine]

Wierdo synth version all the way...

The album version rules, has to be turned up loud.....

Radiohead are at their best when they are at their wierdest. That's why The Bends bores me....

 

[Mr. MIKEphisto]

They are like 2 different songs to me, I enjoy them both in their own ways.

While Live version is absolutely beatiful, the Studio version is completely engrossing...

One of the best tracks on Amnesiac, listen to it loud with headphones on and it gets 100 times better.

It is one of the best songs to describe "texture" in a musical context. You can almost "feel" the music in your ears, kind of like rough cloth or paper almost... hard to explain I guess but I like it.

Exactly how I felt when I listened to it yesterday. It was like it physically touched me....

Live it is phenomenal, album is ok.
One of the best live transitions I've ever heard.
