>Interviewer: Your music has been hugely influential. One of the more prominent musicians who’ve said that they’ve been inspired by your records are Radiohead? Did you listen to any of their last two album "Kid A“ and "Amnesiac“? >Richard: I don’t like them. I heard maybe five or six tracks and I thought they sounded really really cheesy. >Interviewer: Cheesy? >Richard: Yeah, really obvious and cheesy. I mean I’m just comparing it to my favourite music and I think it’s terrible compared to that. But compared to all the shit boring R&B tracks it’s probably alright. Compared to those teen punk sort of bands or whatever they are supposed to be called, who think that they are really anarchic and stuff like that, they are probably amazing. If you’re only exposed to that kind of stuff and then Radiohead come along you will probably think that they are geniuses.
BASED.

damn
Zachary Torres
man speaks the truth
okc is a 7/10 bends is a 6/10
Leo Bell
Can we just praise Kid A for what it is? Kid A is a fantastic comfortably depressing pop rock album with ambient influences.
Alexander Williams
he probably just heard some pablo honey shit anyway
Evan Ramirez
Your first mistake was assuming anything Richard says in interviews is genuine.
Kayden Hughes
lmao richard loves to fuck around in interviews, still love im
Lucas Brown
poor thom, his heroes ae and rdj have both been a lil harsh on him
Aaron Flores
nah its shit amnesiac is easily their best album or he was being genuine and you can't handle the truth. The beauty of post irony is that you can say anything and people still think you're trolling.
Parker Allen
why is kid a "shit"?

>In September 2011, James appeared as Aphex Twin in a live tribute to avant-garde Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki. Alongside Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood, James performed his remix of Penderecki's "Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima", as well as a version of "Polymorphia", at the tribute concert that was held in Poland. that would have been awkward
Alexander Thompson
or perhaps you are so desperate to shit on Radiohead that you want to believe his trolling is actually post-ironic
Robert Walker
Jonny transcends Radiohead, only talented guy in that band.
Jayden Miller
Lost all respect for Richard when he insulted Kanye.
>hurr durr they didn't ask for my personal permission
Fuck off, your label owns the right to your music, not you, you arrogant douchebag. Be glad that Kanye sampled one of your worst songs, from one of your worst albums and made it your most popular song. That new agey pice of trash would have never gotten the attention it did if it weren't for Kanye.
Thomas Wright
Eh, probably not. Jonny is chill as fuck and Thom holds nothing against RDJ or anything - he still praises all the time and recently called him his biggest influence. They're all adults.
Jace Allen
>pretending Aphex Twin isn't boring pop music
Carter Peterson
>I heard maybe five or six tracks
Did he mean five or six tracks of radiohead or those albums?
Blake Ward
m8 richard has shitted on bjork and radiohead. if it wasn't trolling don't you think he would hanged out with them by now? Mind you he worked with fucking die antwoord over them its not trolling m8 he just acts dumb so kids like you can keep buying his records incase your feelings get hurt
Evan Edwards
>he thinks kanye is good
Charles Turner
This. He's just bitter cause Stockhausen did the exact same thing to him.
Joseph Ortiz
Radiohead are musicians, Aphex Twin is just a shitty programmer with no music talent whatsoever.
Why should anyone take a computer programmer's opinion on music seriously is beyond me.
