Radiohead cover 'Ceremony'

Excellent - thanks for the link!

Not bad, not bad at all.

Quite like this! :)

Love the comments on the YouTube video - mainly people who still think it's a Joy Division song, especially the one who said it wasn't recorded in the studio until 1997!! :p

Not a fan of Radiohead, but that was better than i expected

Ive just read that

Thanks a lot for that, I love Radiohead:)

Good.Not a massive fan,but gone up in my estimation

Thank´s

Wow.

Digital have finally got themselves a cover band.

:\pimp3:

not bad aye .Is the their album still available for donation download?

edit: downloading In Rainbows now.Is this their latest marketing ploy? Cover other bands song's to generate publicity?

Radiohead have always done the odd random great cover. Their cover of Carly Simon's 'Nobody Does it Better' is legendary. Can't see any ploy to it, just they probably have a lot of respect for the song.

Wow! That was pretty good!

Never really liked Radiohead - couldn't for the life of me understand why they got Number One album of all time on that Channel 4 programme - but that is a good version!

Everyone is a fan these days. It's only taken 25 years but there we go.

pretty damn good, is that song original ?

He didn't say recorded, he said released. He means the demo version that appeared in the Heart & Soul box set.

Not bad that.

must admit I don't usually like jd no covers, however, this is a respectful, lovely version. thank you.

My sentiments exactly

Excelent cover...i liked it too much

a good cover. i was a bit afraid that thom yorke's head was going to fly off, however.

That first lean toward the mic he's playing an image of nervous young Bernard in his mind

Enjoyed it!

I <3 JD/NO.

I <3 "Ceremony."

I <3 Radiohead.

And I f-ckin' <3 that cover!!

Bravo, Thom and Co.!!

Thom Yorke was really spastik and dorky. But he can have fun and do whatever he wants I guess, why not.

They did many covers including a nice Smiths cover. Pitchforkmedia.com has a few of them.

It reminded me of New Order's Granada TV 1981 performance, awesome!

Well done.

Never knew Radiohead were New Order/Joy Division fans.

Not a clue. Its done so professionally and with a lot of respect. AND they are drunk. I would hazard a guess that they used to play it as kids, before they wrote Creep etc. Great thing about them is, they are not owned by anybody, and have a claim to be the biggest band in the world, Let them have fun IMHO, and cut them down when they do something wrong. This is deffo not wrong at all.

For fun cause it's a really good song and they liked it. They did a whole bunch of covers of songs they liked.

Thank you very much for the link:)

Yup they have been influenced by them. I once read that one of Colin Greenwood's influences has be JD.

Hey man!

Where did you find this Steve's picture?

Brilliant... Loved it...

so so.

nowhere near as good as new order.

Fookin great! Thanks so much.

Thom does remind me of Barney circa 1982

I disagree actually, NO haven't shown Ceremony this amount of respect live since the very early performances in 1980-82. I think Radiohead here keep it really tight and tense, which is how it's meant to be played.

not bad....heads up for coverin it tho..

f*cking hate radiohead

House Of Cards off the new one is the only track off it that's gettin repeated play so far

In Rainbows has been a revelation... Suppose it's how I'd always hoped they sound...

Snorri xxx

Others here - the Bjork one is ok

Did they do Decades at one of their gigs once? sure i read it somewhere

Not bad, but it's a bit too close.

Isn't that they like the song and enjoy playing it enough? It's not like they're releasing it or selling it, they're not necessarily doing it for other people.

i really like it. and i like radiohead's music. i'm really sorry to hear that a lot of sentiments are the other way on this board.

I'm with you on this, but since they're not releasing it and just want to play it I guess, then why not.

Really?! Pity he couldn't have picked a better one! I enjoyed it at the time, and it's a good recording, but you can hear the band's frustration with the crowd grow during the show.

Why?

If it's a cover it should be close to the original. Remixes are for fcuked up / nothing like the original versions

Come on Shug... this is not the type of cover you would listen often since the original will do the job.

If you want to do a cover identical to the original (Tom Yorke even does a Bernard voice of circa-1980!), do weddings, not stage :p

But yes, they did it for fun, not to commercialize it.

But a good oover of Ceremony for me is what the Echoing Green did... that's the same song, but they made it their own... just not copycat the original.

But I know it was not the point there.

You were quick enough to change yer pants over our version of Leave Me Alone and insisted on its release, against our wishes!

I've never been a huge Radiohead fan but this kicks ass! Well done boys A very respectful version

He said so in a recent interview but I can't find a link

Nice:D

So do I! And it's even worse on 24 Hours until my second guitar part starts. Notebooks out plagiarists, it's not healthy.

TREMENDOUS

I thought it was some kind of Math(s) equation. (you know, find the value of 'I' if . . . .)

Interesting, Be good to see that included in their live show's

i am a bit of a radiohead fan without being total,so to watch them do ceremony so well is excellent

I saw the video when this thread was posted, and I couldn't believe that I haven't posted anything about it. That cover is so wicked!

I didn't see anyone mention it here, but Radiohead also covered 2 other songs that day, a Smiths song and Bjork.

Here's The Headmaster Ritual
