Radiohead's Thom Yorke Schools Miley Cyrus & Kanye West on Humility

When Radiohead refused to meet Miley Cyrus and Kanye West at the Grammy Awards last month, the starlet threatened to "ruin" them and the rapper refused to stand for their performance. Now the In Rainbows band is fighting back.

 

Cyrus kicked off the feudin' during an appearance on the Johnjay and Rich radio show and rambled on for more than six minutes about how the band dissed her after she begged her manager to set up an introduction.

 

"I'm like, these are the people I really want to meet," she said. "I'd freak out. They're my rock gods. These are the only people that I would cry over…My manager asked and said, 'Miley's really obsessed. And they were like, 'We don't really do that.' "

 

She continued on in disbelief about the Thom Yorke band's lack of interest in meeting the Hannah Montana, admitting she was so disappointed about the diss, she left the show early.

 

"I left 'cause I was so upset," she said. "I wasn't going to watch. Stinkin' Radiohead! I'm gonna ruin them, I'm going to tell everyone."(yeah okay...)

 

The three-time Grammy winners responded by putting the teen in her place…

 

"When Miley grows up, she'll learn not to have such a sense of entitlement," the quintet said in a statement.

 

But the Radiohead beef buck doesn't stop there.

 

During the taping for his episode of VH1's Storytellers, West complained that Yorke snubbed him as well.

 

"When he performed at the Grammys, I sat the f--k down," the rapper said.

 

The British "Creep" singer, already in full retaliation mode, concluded a blog post on the band's website with a wink and a nudge to both stars. "Wish us all a safe journey if you still like us and you're not one of those people I have managed to offend by doing nothing," Yorke writes.

 

Bring on the next round in these wars of words ('cause you know they're coming)!

 

 

Miley got dissed big time. Here is what she said about the Radiohead snub exactly (sorry if no one cares)

Well, I tend to see the middle ground on this one.

 

I certainly don't think she is out to "ruin" Radiohead (like she could if she wanted to), I think it simply came out of her mouth in a stream of disappointed and frustrated remarks. If you put it in its proper context, her statement is simply alluding to the fact that she wants to make public the fact that Radiohead are surly, distant, and don't care what other people think.

 

The funny thing is that her assessment is correct. Radiohead can be all of those things. In fact, I am surprised they even showed up at the Grammys let alone performed.

 

Now, in the whole skeem of things, would it have really hurt Radiohead to take 5 minutes backstage to say "hello" to someone who has clearly expressed that she is a fan? I don't think that's asking too much.

 

Nevertheless, Radiohead are free to conduct themselves as they see fit, and it certainly is not going to be some "pop princess" who is going to change their minds. Also, Miley's statements do come off as if she has a sense of entitlement. It's almost as if she has never been told no in her life, which is probably the case.

About the whole Miley thing - who does she think she is? :thinking:

But yet, I sometimes get the feeling Radiohead could be more friendly (sorry, but that's just my opinion!).

 

 

And I would really like to know more information about this:

 

I heard that maybe Radiohead are coming to Exit Music Festival that will be held in my town in July. I have really little information, I don't even know are they invited yet. Can someone of you informed people tell me more about this? Please???

Yeah, that's all I'm saying. She is acting like a brat, but it wouldn't have killed Radiohead to be more friendly. She didn't ask for one of their kidneys, just a few minutes of thier time.

They dropped hints this week they might be doing some touring this summer. No concrete details though.

^ I'll buy it because I am a sucker for that kind of stuff. I will have to start setting some limitations, though. There are too many bands that I like, and they are all coming out with cool special editions or re-releases. I am going to go broke in the process of trying to keep up.

 

I love buying the vinyl albums, and I don't even own a freaking record player.
