Date: November 11th, 2026 12:30 PM Author: Historical American Usually it goes to the record label ie Jewish executives. They make the bulk of the money from the royalties. Sometimes the rights revert back to the artist after decades. Bands like U2 and Radiohead have been around so long they typically own every aspect of their business after a certain point.
The main difference I think between the two bands is that U2 makes a lot more from touring. U2 grossed 750 million on their last tour. As popular as Radiohead is on streaming playlists they don't exactly pack arenas. Bono's theatrics are a selling point. Thom just stands there lifeless. I think U2 plays way more shows too.
Radiohead typically only goes on tour when they have new music and to promote the record, not a feel good greatest hits experience. If Radiohead went on tour and played Creep Karma Police No Surprises High and Dry and Fake Plastic Trees every night they would have made a lot more money. Instead they play The Gloaming and other weird shit. I actually saw them once and they debuted a song for the first time that would be on A Moon Shaped Pool. It was a terrible, terrible song and one that no one in the audience had ever heard before. They are true artists for better or ill. Bono wouldn't dream of playing a show and not playing the hits off of Joshua Tree. |

Date: November 11th, 2026 12:31 PM Author: Historical American Everyone knows Thom copied the chord progression from The Air That I Breathe but I could give you countless other songs Radiohead ripped off but you're too musically illiterate to grasp it.

They have a 90/10 male fanbase. Sounds like she's cut out for POASTING some day. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5921293&forum_id=2#50250716) |
