I'm not really a BIG Radiohead fan - I thought they were a great band when Pablo Honey was out, and a good band after that. I saw them in three little dives in Essex/Kent/London in 1992 just before the album came out, when they were supporting the Frank and Walters (twice) and the Sultans of Ping, probably 100-200 people at each gig. The next time I saw them was at V in August this year on a stage half a mile away with a million drunks in front of me. They were definitely sweet and naive then, I had a long conversation with Thom Yorke at one of them and he was no different from anyone else hoping to make it big, not arrogant or conceited or anything, just glad people had come along to hear his stuff.
