Radiohead

Ed O'Brien and Jonny Greenwood in a short Japanese television feature, the talk cut between clips of the band and ending on “Creep”. They spent about five years at school writing and recording songs for each other before they ever played to an audience. The Pixies were the first band they all agreed they would like to sound like, and the Boston scene around them, Throwing Muses and Dinosaur Jr., was the first thing that really excited them, when what was going on in Britain was a load of drivel.

Three guitars make the parts harder to write, but the result has more colour, and live they can play the parts a band with one guitarist leaves on the record. One of them names Paul Weller, Peter Buck, Johnny Marr and Pete Townshend, and notices that they all played Rickenbackers. The other played guitar for years before he listened to rock music and doesn't think of himself as a guitarist, though he likes John McGeoch, because he played in Magazine.
