Radiohead’s Thom Yorke in an interview with Rolling Stone shared how he felt about his voice. He even went on to say that if he had the opportunity, he would want to go and ask John Lennon on his vocal skills and how they have worked for him.
John Lennon is a musical legend that needs no introduction. He made it big in the music industry, but little did John know that he would inspire an entire generation that wants to know how to mould your voice and be comfortable with it.
INTERVIEW WITH THOM YORKE.
Q: If you could ask any singer about their voice, who would it be and what would you ask?
Thom Yorke: It would be John Lennon. Lennon’s whole attitude to singing, I’m a little bit obsessed with, because, on the surface, he has this whole, raw, doesn’t give a fuck … just the way he sings is weirdly brutal. I’d want to talk to him about how he was always so incredibly accurate, but always sounding on the edge of like, he’s gonna miss it, he’s gonna miss it. And, specifically, all these ideas he had in his head about how his voice should be treated. I was like, How do you see it? Because what they did with his voice, they had pretty simple tools, but they did really interesting things. So having a conversation with him about that …or yoga.

John Lennon’s work has inspired a plethora of people and Thom Yorke is one such individual. It’s a given that The Beatles member has created songs that the world would want to listen to and still continues to listen to it. Thom Yorke isn’t the only member he has inspired and he surely won’t be the last who took inspiration from John Lennon.
