The Smashing Tunes Thread (Part 2)

I had to choose between that gig and Leitrim playing in Croke Park in the Tommy Murphy final days later as I was doing my final accounting exams the following week.

So I have never seen Radiohead live.

Great show. That was my first time seeing them

Far too short sadly.

Did you pass the exams?

I did. Thanks for asking.

Well done you made the right decision then. Fuck Radiohead

Thatā€™s not the full show up there. Must have been closer to 2 hours.

Thatā€™s what I meant, I couldnā€™t see the rest of it there

I only recently realised this song is about infidelity. In retrospect a lot of the songs from the middle albums were about Yorkā€™s troubled marriage.

I thought that it had numerous meanings - the usual one around mental health but also specifically in this case Bushā€™s invasion of Iraq.

ā€˜Just cos you feel it, doesnā€™t mean itā€™s thereā€™.

These guys are fucking brilliant.

Great fucking band.

Saw a book on them in the local bookshop the other day actually and was tempted to get it.

They are still at it and making excellent albums.

Yep. Some of the recent stuff has been very strong.

Kurt Cobain freely admitted that he plagiarized this for Smells Like Teen Spirit.

I think they came out on stage once playing it and it morphed into Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Ah no itā€™s more than that. The guitar hooks and the song structure are more or less the same.

I think that was the point Cobain was trying to make with the performance. They were basically the same song.

Although SLTS has taken off on a whole other dimension.
