I don’t know. I can just as easily see an interview coming out after the tour where the members all say “the tour really brought us back to our roots and reminded us how much we love music and being around each other and blah blah blah”. Why are they even going on tour in the first place if not to kick the tires? None of them need money and touring at their age isn’t a ton of fun.

stev posted:There's some strong "I'll keep my head down, play the songs, take the cash and bounce" energy from Ed there. Before reading that I was optimistic that the tour would lead to LP10 but now I'm thinking no. It's done. This is definitely the sense i got too. Tbh i dont blame them if theyre all kind of over it with regards to going to through the whole rigamarole of making an album together when its always a long rear end process. Theyre old and coasting (at least in this band), it happens. It was a good run though

Before reading that I was optimistic that the tour would lead to LP10 but now I'm thinking no. It's done. Same. Before the shows were announced someone was sharing that they may not happen because of tensions in the band and seeing that they have separate dressing rooms for the first time makes me think that may have been true. Was around the time Ed shared support for Kneecap's Glastonbury performance iirc.

I think the one-two punch of Yorke repeating back the I/P protests mockingly and Colin being into AI art just dealt the death blow to my fandom for this band.

Pair this with the rumors that Nigel isn’t on speaking terms with the band anymore, and it definitely seems like not all is well in the Radiohead camp. This tour definitely has a “couple’s therapy before the divorce” vibe to it.

Stanley Donwood is still producing promotional art though, isn't he? Wonder if he's just grinning and bearing it since he's actively pro-Palestine with donations etc.

I hope this isn't blasphemous but in a certain sort of way I'd argue Donwood is more important to the band than Godrich (both being extremely important, don't get me wrong).HD DAD posted:Pair this with the rumors that Nigel isn’t on speaking terms with the band anymore, and it definitely seems like not all is well in the Radiohead camp. This tour definitely has a “couple’s therapy before the divorce” vibe to it. After seeing that article I kinda feel like they should have just stayed quietly broken up. There aren't enough shows and they're too professional that it'd happen, but I'd almost imagine an Oasis-style meltdown is more likely than the band expanding the tour and/or recording more material. I dunno, it just seems like things are not great and this is basically it. triple sulk fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Oct 27, 2025 |

weird to see the band you identified with in high school become this bloated horrible relic touring with diminished reputation and internal strife.

Yeah, it's really sad. I saw them twice in London - supporting In Rainbows and King of Limbs - and was blown away both times by how tight they were as a unit, how good the vibes were, how tuned into the crowd. Even if I had the chance I don't know if I'd see them on this tour. With everything that's happened over the last few years, and every interview feeling worse than the last, I'd be too apprehensive.

That setlist reads as a "one last big tour" thing to me. And it's probably for the best. I don't think Thom has a lot left to say that people really want to hear on a grandiose thematic level that Radiohead albums typically reach for.

Good Soldier Svejk posted:That setlist reads as a "one last big tour" thing to me. The setlist is about as good as it gets short of a few tracks and a severe lack of Amnesiac. That combined with the arena rock style layout which I don't think they've ever done before and I can see where you're coming from. They sounded pretty good for not playing together for seven years, but three of them are within a couple years or so of 60 and I honestly just can't imagine them doing another album at this point.

I can see them doing one more album but that'll probably be the last one and will be billed as such. Not even sure how excited I'd be for it anymore though.

triple sulk posted:More videos from tonight's performance are out and what the gently caress is going on here I looked up the setlist because I figured they would've played this track 1st or 2nd, and sure enough it was the second song they played: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/radiohead/2025/movistar-arena-madrid-spain-b40c9de.html I dont think Thom wanted to blow his voice out wailing through the bends early on.

Who is the second drummer on this tour? Edit: Never mind, he's mentioned in the Pitchfork article. Chris Vatalaro. Sand Monster fucked around with this message at 14:50 on Nov 6, 2025 |
