Haha that was a good laugh but aw man a tough hit. Ed is very important to the band. He adds guitar layers to the music that build tension and complexity. The band wouldn't be good with 2 Johnny Greenwoods. It would be too much noise. You need someone like Ed who understands the importance of harmony and layers to turn something bleak into something beautiful and who can sacrifice guitar playing and take a back seat when need be. He also appears to be more relaxed and enjoys this role. He admits it in an interview that he's a more melodic player. The epidemic of a solid band member. I Wish he would be a solo project to see what he's capable of

Jonny gets so much praise, and I agree he's a mad scientist who kills it, but don't disregard Ed's role. He's a huge part of the sound and success of the band. I have an immense amount of respect and admiration for the entire band. A complete unit. Brothers.

Ed is an essential part of the band. He goes where he is needed, whether that is guitar, percusions, background vocals, weird effects etc. A lot of these he was playing background sounds clearly, also a big part of their entire sound that not many people realize. That's why the band works so well together. Too many chiefs and not enough indians is never a good thing.

And when he does play, boy, do you hear it - you just do - whether it be loud, quiet, soft, strong - unmistakably Ed and the world of music is so much better for him being in it.

He's talked about how the transition from OK Computer to Kid A made him reconsider his role in the band and what it meant to be in a *group*, and from then on he's basically been the spice that makes every other ingredient in the dish pop. Figuring out how to recreate the effects they do on synths and laptops live with his guitar and effects pedals is a huge part of why they're so amazing live, and his backing vocals are one of the single most transcendent elements of their entire sound

Ed doesn’t claim to be any sort of musical genius, but what he’s brought to Radiohead has given them a necessary ingredient to their signature sound. He doesn’t have to be slash on the fretboard when Jonny has that more than covered.
