Guitarist Peter Frampton gives his opinion on Radiohead:
Asked if he knew Radiohead members, he said: “No, I don’t know them. But from afar, I’m amazed by that band. It’s one of the most inventive bands ever, I think, and they keep reinventing themselves with every album, every piece. And it’s something so special; it’s very unique. I mean, every band is unique in some way, but Radiohead are way ahead of their time, I think, which is wonderful.”
“I can learn so much from them just listening to the way [Thom Yorke] sings, plays, the way they all write, the basic chord sequence and the track and the riff. You know, I delve in there. It’s a lesson for a musician. It’s a really big lesson listening to any one of their songs.”
