Chill out - I retract that comment as you did explain what you meant a little more after I posted it. I think you're coming at whether or not to appreciate music from entirely the wrong direction, but that's your right.
I posted about his guitar style earlier, as, it was because it was the most extreme type of style I had seen on a professional band. At the time I am used to Randy Rhoads and Alex Lifeson, and when I see this up and coming indie band, or whatever chategory people gave them, I was quite cynical that he wasnt very good on guitar. Obviously a good songwriter but his style seemed to me to be displaying a low standard.

What tangent am I going off on? My point is that it's pretty obvious you're evaluating Radiohead by the standards of some other shit you like and completely overlooking what they do well. Your criticism of them is about as intelligent as disliking Black Flag because Henry Rollins hasn't got the same vocal range as Miley Cyrus.
My concern is that what I posted about an observation I made, is true, and it is an interesting point to make in the discussion, my concern is that in this forum you end up getting drawn into an argument for about ten pages about something that is not only true but that isnt so important to be drawn into an argument. I like peace and quiet and happiness.
Yes I am evaluating the guitarists ability I saw on the concert on telly 20 years ago. That is a statement I made a long time ago. I state something, and like about a few pages later after going on about it for ages you suddenly seem to cotton on to the reason I posted it. Which the statement I made is valid in context of the thread. You then after finally stating the obvious make a statement that either means you dislike the truth I wrote because you are a fanboy of them, or that you see this as an argument and dont want to lose face. When I saw that concert the guitarist didnt seem very technically good. This is another, you say `your criticism of them is about as intelligent as` etc, well for one it isnt about `them` its about the guitarist, and if you think that someone posting about a guitarist being low-standard technically is non-intelligent, then you need to look at yourself and how you perceive things that others post.

Okay let me break this down.
1.) Playing scales isn't an indication of guitar playing ability - every amateur guitarist who's been playing guitar for a week practices scales, so the idea that Johnny Greenwood never incorporates scales into his music because he is incapable of playing them is patently absurd.
2.) Johnny Greenwood's ability as a guitarist, past or present, has very little to do with the quality of composition found in Radiohead's songs.
3.) If you want to listen to a shred fest, go listen to some Jeff Loomis or Brain Drill. If you want original, emotionally complex music with a wide variety of influences, listen to Radiohead.

You are a very argumentative person. His guitar style had no scales in them, he was playing up and down the neck with the same barre chord for a lot of the show and any note runs he did were played with one finger moving up and down, this gives me the impression that he isnt or wasnt technically brilliant. I pointed this out. You go off into all this other stuff that has nothing to do with the observational point I made.

You are a very repetitive person. I'm not disagreeing with your observation, I'm just telling you that it's a stupid observation. The "other stuff" is the reason why it's stupid.
Now you are saying that the observation I made and that I pointed out, that is true, is now ` its a stupid observation`. You are very argumentative.

You now are trying to give yourself the high ground about all the nonesense you have written and argued about, from the simple post I made about what I saw when I watched a Radiohead concert. You can make that picture you downloaded and make it bigger if you wish, will it have more effect? If someone shouts something that isnt true, and repeats it over and over, shouting it, does that make it true, because volume?? Its a puerile way of conducting a discussion. I basically posted an observation I made about a guitarist, and you have gone epic on it lol.

Let's stop and ask ourselves this. Is Radiohead really a band worth arguing over?

Im not trolling, I posted an observation I made of a concert I saw. What we have here is yourself making a big song and dance about a sentence I wrote and yourself now keep trying to point the finger away from yourself who made all the fuss about it. You made many many posts out of context about a single line I posted and throughout I have repeated that it was an observation and you are now continually trying to take the spotlight from yourself and make it look like its me that was banging on about it. This is what I was saying earlier about my concerns of having to endure about a ten page epic in here, as seems to happen in here over the slightest thing.

Aren't there like three people in Radiohead who all play guitar quite often? I'm pretty sure that's the case.

Yeah. None of them can play a scale by themselves, though, so they break it down into three different parts and do it that way.
I am not sure about that, I dont know much about Radiohead. I was referring as I stated throughout only to the one who plays the telecaster and does the moody `Gmajor chord` or whichever it is, in the `creep ` song, that I watched through a concert.. The singer plays guitar too. Going back to the Pyramid song, I do like the singing intro into the song, it has a very Artistic and individual feel to it, very liberal.

A quick Wikipedia search indicates that main Radiohead guitarist Johnny Greenwood is a classically trained musician who learned multiple instruments and studied music theory at an A-Level before joining Radiohead. So much for him being a self-taught guitarist who doesn't know what scales are.
@rusty water
Will you acknowledge that your comments about him were mistaken?

See there you go again making a statement sacrastically about something I havent said. I have repeated myself many many times to your aloof sarcastic comments that it is the guitarist that plays the Gmajor chord in the creep song with the telecaster. Yet again after all your out of context and constant arguing you have done it again. You are now trying to joke your way out of the fool you keep making yourself look, I didnt not say anything about any other guitarists, You keep making yourself look a fool with your sarcastic jokes, not me.
