today, I want to invite you to a concert and it will not be a ππ₯πππππ¨ at all, but a completely different ride!
Let's talk about "πππ ππππππ" that our favorite band follow when they go on stage.
I got the idea for this post thanks to an interview given by Brian in 2014 before a performance ππ ππ‘π ππ’ππ«π«π’ππ³ πππ¬ππ’π―ππ₯.

Very interesting, don't you think?
Can you imagine what the tunning of all the members of the band looks like just before they perform in front of the audience on stage?
We can talk the most interesting about all three bands and listen to some of their songs.
β¦ππππ’π¨π‘πππ, an English rock band formed in 1985. It consists of five members led by the charismatic ππ‘π¨π¦ ππ¨π«π€π.
They have released a total of 9 studio albums and won countless music awards.
The band often comment on the political situation in the UK, and are interested in the environment.
β¦ππ‘π¨π¦ ππ¨π«π€π is a vegetarian because "πππ‘πππ ππππ‘ πππ’π ππ βππ πππππ π‘ππ£π ππππππππ ππ π‘ππ’π",
β¦he quit smoking because "βπ βππ πππ π‘ π‘βπ ππππππ‘π¦ π‘π πππππ‘βπ βππ π ππππππ"
β¦and he stopped drinking alcohol because he had a problem with double vision after one "π£πππ¦ π π’ππππ π ππ’π ππ£πππ‘" and doctors finding alcohol poisoning π.
β¦He rejected the drug experiences straight awayπππ.

πΉ"ππ«πππ©"πΉ, which was released as a single in 1992, but Thom composed the song in the late 80's during his studies at university. The text expressed his feelings as a complete outsider, a man who, in order to confess his love to an admired woman, must get drunk and fall to the very bottom ...
In 1993, Yorke said of the song:

Radiohead began to hate Creep in the 1990s. They felt that the fans went to their concerts only because of this song and they stopped including it in the setlist. The song was returned to their repertoire in 2016 and Yorke admitted that he enjoys the crowd singing of extremely happy fans.
And why am I telling you all this here?
Brian about Nancy Boy:

ππI'm a really big fan of Radioheadππ
I probably have a weakness for small, smart and very creative men. For those of you who don't know, Thom Yorke, b. 1968, is still slightly smaller than Brian Molko. He measures only 5ft5 (166.4 cm).
π΅Radiohead's music is magical.π΅
It's a pure alternative form of music, rock guitars combined with imaginative electronics and the very sad howling voice of their singer, about which Brian said that Thom Yorke will never finish the word...π

Brian doesn't seem to miss a single opportunity to go to a Radiohead gig in his busy schedule and lack of time. This is also confirmed on IG Placebo's account by one of Brian's photos, which I used to edit the pic of this post.
And here is a link to an article about one of the Radiohead performances, where Brian was seen with an apple cider in his hand:

In this interview Brian jokes about the origin of one of the Radiohead songs:

I chose an amazing concert from Prague from 2009, when they came to the Czech Republic for the first time and had this gig released on DVD.
