Radiohead Busts Out Creep to Jonny Greenwood's Surprise

[outsideofadream]

Lol, this clip has blown up in a way I didn't expect so I might as well clear things up with a pinned comment:

1. Yes, Creep was Radiohead's first hit single, and it is super popular, but they pretty quickly got tired of being solely associated with it and it grated on Thom in particular. They went a long time without playing it live and only have started to bust it out more often in recent years.

2. Artists have a right to be tired of certain songs and albums. That's part of making art.

3. If you've watched any Radiohead interviews from the past several years, you'll see they're all clearly friends on good terms with each other and this is just Thom and the others playfully trolling Jonny by queuing up a song that wasn't originally on their set list.

Ah yes, let's play creep and not tell Jonny

[Welcometotheslam]

After this performance, Thom spent the next week hiding in terror from a pissed off Jonny.

[bigo]

The best part is Phil being unable to control his laughing when he starts it

[Plan-xbhs]

Jonny’s not upset, he’s just having flashbacks to the MTV video shoot

[basicoptimalmouse]

Radiohead: *plays Creep
Jonny: So you have chosen... death.

[Hello_Foxy]

Radiohead: **Play Creep**
Jonny: You are not my friends, anymore

[TalkAsSoftAsChalk]

Ed said that he, Thom and Phil create the set lists so it makes total sense that Jonny probably had zero inkling this would happen.

I mean lets face it, even us die hard radiohead fans have to admit it's a banger. Its ok to like popular things, guys.

A big hand for the director picking the perfect camera shot at the perfect time.

[shara]

It's ironic because the song goes perfectly with his expression lmao

[zerronyx]

Jonny's extra peaved because he didn't have a distortion pedal either

[hfreezenr]

For some reason, Thom Yorke just having a grand old time, on stage, performing Creep, is one of the most heartwarming things I've watched in a while.

[bloodromance]

Are you happy?
Yeah, Jonny absolutely happy

[golden_eldorado]

That was a "I'm leaving the stage...and the band right now" face 😂

[vOcHaZOv]

The look on Jonnys face is priceless 🤣

[mygetawayart]

Jonny: you better sleep with both eyes open this week Thom

[kida]

Jonny is staring at Tom with a upset look hahaha

[patrizio.sound.london]

00:25 Jonny suddenly thinking about if he left the gas on

We love you Jonny. Please be well and keep writing amazing music
