market with their 1993 single Creep.
Ironically Radiohead who come from
Oxford found respect and success didn't automatically follow at home.
In fact
Creep did get into the UK top 10 [B] and the album it came from Pablo Honey also
charted but now they have a second album The Bends which [C] has been well received
on both sides of the Atlantic although in the States [G] Radiohead have had to work
[Cm] hard to prove they are more than a one-song band.
[C]
I've come here to [G] Vancouver
in British Columbia to hook up with the band who are at last slowly being
[F#] recognized at home.
[E] Promoting a record in North America means visiting what seems
like a million radio stations.
[Em] Although [F#] radio is the way to sell records in
North America the trouble is you don't get to see much of the place [E] you're in.
Now Radiohead are in Canada with a chance to tour the beautiful city of
Vancouver.
Johnny Ed Phil good first impressions?
[A#m] Well yeah we've been here [F#] a
long time before but I mean every time we come back [E] you know we just like really
struck by it's a [G] really beautiful city loads of space here it's amazing yeah and
the sea it's great to be by [F#] the sea again.
Going back to the single of course in
1993 the one that everybody talks about when they [N] hear Radiohead they associate
Radiohead with Creep and perhaps people saw you as sort of one hit wonder at the
time.
Creep was like the blessing the bane of this [F#] band it was a blessing that
we got to tour throughout the world [A] and that was fantastic but it was also the
bane [F#] that you know you have a song like that on your first album and the history
bands having a big hit like that on the first album is that they don't go
anywhere you know and if it'd been on third or fourth it would have been fine
but the frustrating thing was that we always [G#] thought we knew we had the
material and while we're recording it even last year we were sort of going out
on tour and still sort of promoting Pablo Hanian like [A] Mexico and Thailand
stuff like [E] that and always it was always Creep and it's like hang on a sec we're
just [E] we're in the process of recording 22 new songs that [A] we're like really
proud of.
[B]
[F#m] The striking video to the new single fake plastic trees looks like it
was made for [A] the American market it features the tortured lead [D] vocals of Tom
York [A] who is desperate to rid Radiohead of the Creep label and is at pains to
point out [D] the band's new album has moved them on.
It's really good actually because
everyone everyone sort of [G#] the praise hey it's a great album is catching on [E] all
around the world so [G#m] this is for the band's yeah so things are fairly easy
people seem to be forgetting about that one song that we used to have before and
thinking about [D] an album yeah so it's nice
[B]
[A]
well now we're at the top of the mountain that was a nice ride.
How's it Radiohead?
What was your first start?
[F#m] At school, you [F#] know just at school the [Am] only cool place to hang out at school was the music school really.
Is it true that it started on a [E] Friday that was your first name?
[A] Yeah, sorry about that.
That was a [D] bit of an error.
We had to change it.
[E] We were doing these shows in Oxford and apparently [A] people would come out and go great band, [F#] we've got to change names.
Like [A] every show we did.
There was a headline in one of the newspapers [F#m] back home
which was British pop unknown stormed the USA.
It [E] was a very unfortunate [D] because we had a really good following in the UK.
[Am] It was really important to us.
We just finished a sell-out [D] tour last week
[Gm] finishing up at the forum in London which was amazing.
It was really.
It was to do a
sell-out tour in Britain and you know the album came out and within [F#] two days
everybody [G#] knew all the words to the new songs.
That's why we do this.
It's great.
It's wonderful.
[A]
Really big [G#] in Canada are the [B] massive wood carvings of the original North American peoples.
But the band are keen to point out that [Em] their big in America label is a [A] little misleading.
[Am] You know they blow it out of all [E] proportion.
We just like flew [B] over there and did [G] a few gigs and the record was on MTV.
It wasn't [G] exactly.
It was not like the days of the Beatles where you step off the plane.
It's like [C#] hello America.
This is how it's conceived and they get it totally wrong.
It's not like that [C#m] at all.
Things just got [G#] polarised from us being extremely famous and making a start in America and [G] utterly unknown in
