Best of Ed O'Brien guitar - Radiohead

  • READ DESCRIPTION
    June 2020 edit : video initially contained Live At Astoria 1994 intro of "You", and In Rainbows In the Basement Version of "Videotape", that had to be removed due to copyright infringement after those concerts were uploaded by Radiohead during Quarantine. Very sorry to offer you an incomplete version of this best-of.
    September 2020 edit : Had also to remove an extract of The National Anthem performance at Reading 2009. Here's the link : • Radiohead - The Nation... (I used the 0:35 - 1:27 extract)
    Ed O'Brien regularly ends up in Music Press Tops 100 of the best guitarists, and a lot of guitarists question why, so it was time we had a compilation of what this man is about.
    O'Brien isn't your regular guitar hero, in Radiohead, he focuses on tones, textures, effects, ambiances, on how to fill the atmosphere. He's a master at complementing a song. This video sums up pretty well how he contributed to revolution rock music for the last few decades.
    All Music belongs to Radiohead

    Ed's a focused, skilled and intelligent musician and sonic artist who creates some of the most emotive soundscapes on Radiohead's songs. They're an incredible band with a combination of talents operating where they're strongest, with all five members working hard to keep their egos in check with one another, which helps account for their ability to keep innovating at such a high level, as well as their astounding longevity in the music industry.

I think a lot of people who are (understandably for sure) excited for all Jonny's angular chromatic histrionics compare him to Ed's stuff cruelly. Radiohead doesn't need two Jonnys. It would be insane and over-busy. Radiohead owes so much of its ambience and texture to Ed's guitar playing.

His background vocals on Wierd Fishes/Arpeggi are phenomenal. I love them as much as Thoms vocals. But, that is what Ed does, he adds so much in the background without taking over.

    Ed's playing on songs like Exit Music and How To Disappear Completely is nothing short of sublime. May seem simple but it requires a lot of skill and discipline to pull off. Ed's work is so subtle and precise that you may not even realize you're hearing it at times but that just shows how effectively he blends into the ensemble.

      I don't think this might be a thoughtful statement....a band member isn't there to prove his or her existance (at least for the listeners ya know). They are there to create art. If I go by your logic, every band members can be replaced except the vocalist cos it's easy to mimic someone's distinctive style. I mean I can play Jonny's glockenspiel part in No Surprises. That doesn't mean he's easily replacable. It's all about the creative output inside the band and we listeners will never know how it works.
