Current mood: EYEBROWS
Category: EYEBROWS Music
QUIZMASTER: You were considered the best rockband of the 90's.
THOM YORKE: God help us if we fuckin' were, 'cause as far as we're concerned even being called a rockband was a bit of a nightmare, really.
QUIZMASTER: Why?
THOM YORKE: 'Cause it sucks, fucking rockmusic sucks, I hate it! I'm so fuckin' bored of it, I hate it! It's a fuckin' waste of time.
THOM YORKE: Personally I totally lost interest in playing guitar.
QUIZMASTER: How come?
THOM YORKE: It just didn't do it for me anymore.
QUIZMASTER: But you have 3 guitarists in the band!
THOM YORKE: Yeah, bummer, eh?
QUIZMASTER: Apart from not playing the guitar anymore, you said you didn't like guitarmusic anymore. What music were you into at that time?
THOM YORKE: I was much more into the electronica stuff like Autechre and Aphex Twin, lots of stuff on the Warp label. I always regretted that we, in deciding being a rockband and touring ourselves stupid and turning into little monsters, we lost the chance of ever being able to get into that sort of music and that was a big regret for me 'cause I didn't see it as any different from rockmusic, from where I sat. If it's good, it's good. It's got the same 'Fuck Me'-attitude if it's good.
