[edit] Remix by Tiesto

Why is this being listed as remixed by tiesto, but yet the reference linked does NOT discuss Dj Tiesto' Remix of this song(it actually talks about Paul Oakenfold spinning his remix. Frankly I'm not even sure why it's important to list that DJ Tiesto remixed it, or anyone for that matter, As it stands now it's a misleading link that reeks of something fishy.

[edit] Music video screencap

Right now, I can't fit it into the music video section w/o it looking unweldy, but the code is here for adding it in the future. --Madchester July 8, 2005 06:57 (UTC)

[edit] Seperate article for the video?

Why does the video have it's own article? Seems to me like it could be on the bottom of this article with no dramas. Gohst 10:20, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Agreed, feel free to merge it. mode_seven 11:57, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Tuning For This Song

I would like someone to mention, in the article, the fact of the very weird tuning of this song. The song is in between tones, which makes this a hard song to play exactly as played on the album. I think it would be nice if someone added that in here. I am sure that this was not done by mistake because the rest of the songs in the album consist of the usual standard tuning. I hope you take my suggestion. The only other band that I know of that has done that to their music is an argentinian heavy metal band called Rata Blanca. I would recommend that someone points this out.

The song is pretty easy to play using standard tuning, so long as you're confident using all your fingers! The riff is based around the A minor, C major and E minor chords, with the 2nd string's 3rd fret, 1st, open sequence laid over each. the version present on Olga.net is reasonably accurate, and form a pretty good base for working it out yourself.
"Hail to the Thief" is the only official transcription which I own, and only "2 + 2 = 5" uses a non-standard tuning, in this case drop-D, which is hardly unusual. Emyr42 14:41, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
I've read somewhere that the speed was changed for inclusion on The Bends which resulted in a slight pitch shift. Can anyone find a citation to support that? fat_pads 00:07, 1 February 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fat pads (talk • contribs)

[edit] Video on the Moon.

When I saw the video for the first time, I thought it was on the Moon or another planet.

[edit] REM?

IS there any information as to which REM songs Yorke took his inspiration from? Street Spirit actually sounds suspiciously like Visage's "Fade to Grey" (in particular, the chorus) - could the official title (including 'Fade Out') perhaps be a reference to this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MU4L (talk • contribs) 15:09, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unnecessary Links

Most of the links in Thom's comments on the song are entirely unnecessary. I'm going to remove them. Go ahead and replace them if you think they weren't. -Joseph M White 22:01, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
