Can you imagine an extended Beato interview with Jonny Greenwood ... oh man.

[videosforthegoodlife]

You could do Radiohead like this every day for a month and I would watch them all day long, and I don't think I'm alone.

Hey Rick, my band (Big Heavy Stuff) was the main support for Radiohead across Australia on their OK Computer tour. To hear those songs live every night was just incredible. They conjured the most amazing atmosphere effortlessly. Thom was a bit of a recluse, but the others were lovely to chat to over a few beers. Amazing experience!

Radiohead is BY FAR one of the best bands striving to this day to bring original and challenging music. Truly inspiring and maybe one of the biggest reasons I am a musician today.

I can’t believe Rick is doing Airbag. I mean WHAT?!?! My respect for Rick Beato grows every day. OK Computer is a masterpiece. And it’s rare I say that about an album. I’m so stoked. A total “Interstellar burst”.

[Htheorphanarian]

What I love about when they were writing airbag is what you can hear in the leaked mini discs, they had the form of the song, but it was missing the magic touch, and they tried multiple versions, until Jonny came up with the intro riff, it was the glue that held the song together and turned it from a good song to the greatest, a riff so good you hear it at the beginning middle and end!

This album was such a game-changer for what pop music could be… everything about it is outstanding.

[DBWildfoot]

One of my favourite Radiohead songs. The composition is out of this world. One of my favourite intros ever! I love the way each instrument comes in.

[nigeltrigger]

The spaces in the bass line that accentuate the melody in an awe inspiring way. Can't think of another bass line like this!

The cello is Mellotron cello.
Radiohead purchased a Mellotron for Ok Computer. The other gorgeous use you hear on the album is the Mellotron 8 voice choir on Lucky, The Tourist and Exit Music for a Film

[psychonautpupildiallater]

I’m a metal guy, my guitar instructor is a huge Radiohead fan., knows all their songs. He insisted on teaching me Paranoid Android, I had heard the song, and thought it was interesting and agreed. Changed my life, “no joke folks”.

[dukeon]

This song is a masterpiece. But then again so are about half of all Radiohead songs, and the rest are merely brilliant. What an amazing group. I could listen to “In Rainbows” over and over and over. Oh wait, I do. Especially the song “Nude.” What a beautiful suspension of time and space every time I listen.

[vertigo]

I learned acoustic at 42. Now 52 and playing solo gigs. Helped being a drummer for 30 years. Never too late.

[goctagonrecovery]

Ok Computer, in my opinion is a perfect record, not only in it's songwriting but also in production. All of the instrumentation and sounds that surround you on this record are so perfectly placed and mixed. The whole record just feels so alive. I constantly find myself going back to songs like Airbag, Paranoid Android, Let Down, etc. just to listen to all of the little nuances that surround the songs.

[lensofken]

Your enthusiasm for music never gets old Rick

[seancostello]

Rick, as expected, you’ve absolutely nailed what makes one of my favourite Radiohead songs so beautiful. Harmonic complexity but easy to listen to.

[machidaman]

Had to be airbag. One of my favourite songs of all time, I mean what wa unto kick of one of th greatest albums of all time - that opening riff gives me chills to this day almost 30 years later.

[charles-mroz]

I am having my Sunday morning coffee while watching this. I have absolutely no idea what Rick is talking about but I'm loving it.

[MisterBoy]

OK is an album i don't listen to often but everytime i do I'm blown away how powerful and fresh it is. Just pretty much perfect and timeless

[mattjns]

It’s of the very few albums I’ll never get sick of.
