This is pretty much a Ronseal moment - Prince, at Coachella festival in Los Angeles this Saturday just passed (26 Apr), springing a surprise cover of Radiohead’s angst-riddled anthem on the audience.

omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg
prince just got cooler!?
fuck.
this isn't a cover
he's making up his own words
uh
i'm speechless
*jaw drop*
Makes me wish I'd braved the scorching temps.
the guitar work at the end
is absolutely brilliant :D:D:D class
The headline should have been:
'Prince "does a Radiohead"'
Missed a trick there......
how did they miss that?
they use "do/does a Radiohead" for every other news article.
I'm utterley unimpressed....
...with the camera work...
its only because
its filmed through a microscope
All I could do while watching this...
was to stare at his little finger and wish I had half as much talent as it had.
if you listen carefully
you can just make out the sound of peoples heads exploding, unable to cope with the sheer genius of it.
I just pray that this ringing endorsement will finally get Radiohead
some of the attention that they so richly deserve.
is actually singing 'your a creep'
amazing. i've changed my mind. i like radiohead now.
yeah, okay, prince does a radiohead
but its a bit of a dirge despite typically flawless, could-be-noone-else-on-the-planet vocals. and the guitar at the end is really wank at times. and im such a big prince fan my goddamn username is a prince reference.
p.s. he's anything but a loser. but hes most definitely a creep
I know from a Style Perspective
It's not comparing like with like, but Prince is one of the only people I can think of who could completely play Matt Bellamy off the field... though one wonders where MB will go...imagine if Muse could mutate and evolve enough to have that kind of longevity??
uh
Prince should have changed the lyric to...
I'm a perve
i was there :)
twas rather good.
hopefully Radiohead will return the favour on their tour
do a cover of 1999 or something. Ha.
kiss and you know it!
Man...
... that's an unbelievable cover version. Dude can shred!
Very nice!
Watched this last night and had lots of very naughty dreams... :)
prince
is fucking amazing
I'm not liking this much though.
the guitar is awesome (as it would be)...but the cover vsn is a bit too "vegas" for me
how long till Prince's overactive lawyers get this clip removed???
It already has
due to terms of use violation and shit.
Yeah
Prince "does a Radiohead" "doing a Hollies"
he's totally making up his own words and shit
not a cover in my books. more a 're-interpretation'
