being literal eye candy for a shitty pop band is not empowering in the least, especially when there are two nerds beside him who clearly do all of the production

I can't imagine Ed O Brien pissed in your cheerios this morning so why are you so mad at him?

I'm not mad.
Heres the thing about Ed. The man is a cuck
thom is the real eye candy
Seriously though, what does the man actually do? I know "Ed O'Brien is pointless" is a bit of a /mu/ meme but is there any truth in it? I like Radiohead's music but I've never been SO into them that I've looked into interviews etc to figure out their creative process.
I mean I know Jonny and Thom are the main creative forces and all their albums actually have some bass and I guess the drummer just became a drum machine programmer when they went boop? Where the fuck does that leave Ed?

He makes goofy noises

>>65029586
He doesn't get to do anything because Thom and Jonny keep making music that doesn't involve or need a lot of guitar.
>>65029586
He's there for the "atmospherics." i.e. he makes spooky noises with his guitar sometimes

I wish I could stick up for Ed more, but at the current rate that Radiohead are going at, he's not far off from being the Bez of the group.
Ed writes most of the guitar parts nowadays actually, with Jonny handling the strings and stuff and thom on bleeps and words

Hi Ed!
>>65029820
Tbf, in his place, I'd well still stick around Radiohead. Even if this was the extent of what I did.
Bunch of fucking contrarian hipsters.

hey
>>65029820
Okay, that was fucking funny
I assume those were just cherrypicked poor moments tho

If you hear a weird noise and can't tell what instrument it's being played on, that's Ed
