“When Jonny Greenwood was 14, he was already a shit-hot guitarist, but he was also a bit of a worrier. One day, he was suddenly thrown into a blind panic about his ability, deciding that he couldn’t possibly be a successful musician if no one in his family was musical. He scoured the family archives, but all he could find was a grandfather who briefly took up the euphonium. Even now, his confidence is regularly shaken by another who has ‘absolutely no understanding’ of what he does. He played her some stuff recently and she demanded to know what ‘that bomtibomtibom stuff in the background’ - was. ‘That’s the drums, Mum,’
Jonny sighed. Perhaps this is why he and the rest of the band are touchingly unsure as to whether their records are actually any cop or not. By the time ‘The Bends’ came out, Jonny had already decided it was rubbish.
‘I remember thinking some of the songs were OK,’ he smiles, ‘But that was about it.’”
