Thom Yorke Responds to Kanye West and Miley Cyrus Beefs

March 12, 2009 2:47 p.m. by Andrew Winistorfer

Things have been hard out here for Thom Yorke these days--first Kanye West complains that Yorke snubbed him at the Grammys, then Miley Cyrus essentially (and about 56 billion times more annoyingly) says the exact same thing.

 

Well, Yorke has hit back, cracking wise on Dead Air Space in a message announcing his band's departure from England to South America for their tour with Kraftwerk.

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 xx
Good call Thom. But seriously, it's not like you wanted to talk to Miley Cyrus anyway. You probably would have had a conniption and hurt her. [Idolator]

Radio(give me)-head is about the crappiest band ever...Miley is way more talented than they ever were...if they would have taken a photo with her they probably would have sold more CDs in the next week than they did in their whole careers...

You're an idiot.

"Miley is way more talented than they ever were"
You are a tool, jerkface.

"Miley is way more talented than they ever were"

You must be a pre-adolescent girl, because that's the only kind of person who would put "talented" and "Miley Cyrus" so close together in a sentence.

haha.. Kanye West has one of the most ADORABLE Napoleonic complexes in musical history, and I'm sure Yorke does too, Radiohead have been the quiet type pretentious poseurs for years

'Miley is way more talented than they ever were..'

Tit.

who does he think he is?? their music sucks
March 13, 2009 at 3:11 p.m.

No you do.

In the first place...absolutely ANYONE who thinks Miley Cirus has more talent than ANY REAL musician, is AN IDIOT...Now, did anyone hear about her saying that she was going to

Go off and play with your friends little girl, and leave the grownups alone.

Congrats on writing the worst comment in the history of internet comments. Quite the achievement.

It would have probably hurt Radiohead's career more than anything to have a photo op with Miley. I think the Radiohead fans of the world are giving a big collective shrug at all this.
March 14, 2009 at 6:54 p.m.

i am so glad they did this. I am a HUGE radiohead fan, and they just hate the fame and stuff associated with music nowadays. I am not suprised at all they did this, and i'm glad cause she thinks she can get whatever she wants.
March 15, 2009 at 8:59 p.m.

i bet the only song she knows is creep, god she is so stupid
how could she even say shes going to ruin them??? bet her fans never heard one song of Radiohead,her audience is into jonas brothers metro station and all those other crappy tween bands
March 15, 2009 at 11:20 p.m.

Hey Miley, its reality calling, havent spoken to you in a while!The reason why both Kanye and Miley are stupid is because they don't realize that Radiohead isn't snubbing them, they really just don't do that sort of thing, though I am sure he would have snubbed them anyways. I agree with Cari, how could she ever possibly think she could ruin a band like radiohead. The only reason why Miley is famous is because her dad sang achy breaky heart (ugh) that was a one hit wonder in the nineties. Radiohead is a world renowned band that pretty much everyone respects, which is why they even have fans like Kanye and Miley.Comparing Miley Cyrus OR Kanye West to Radiohead is like comparing vanilla ice to the Beatles. Ridiculous.

guess how i know miley cyrus is $hit,

cuz only one person(6yr old that got onto their daddys laptop) defended her,

id say give it at max 7 years before the world forget about her... and she appears on big brother at an atempt of getting back into the public eye.
March 27, 2009 at 12:15 p.m.

Im Sorry But Miley Cyrus Is Just Disgusting,An Eye sore To The Public Like How Can You Eat Food And Look at her.Like Good God That would Be Just Straight Up Nasty.The Kid Needs Braces Like Damn You Supposedly Have All This Must And Yet Your Teeth Still Happen To Look Like $hit On A Hot Sunny Day.

Oh And To The Person Who Said This...

I Totally Agree With Your Comment Christine Good Thing I Can Read It When People Type Like This, Next Time Though Don't Forget To Capitalise Every Word!
March 28, 2009 at 9:58 p.m.

Holy crap, miley cyrus, shut your dumb mouth. Your kiddie music and movie making skills are terrible, and NOONE considers you in the same class as Radiohead. Your just a teen idol, and thats going to pass real soon. Not soon enough, in my opinion.
April 18, 2009 at 2:13 p.m.

I hope Miley does ruin radiohead!!!!! What a jerk!!! I hope they don't come back from south america!!!! S all you miley haters get a life just because you don't have one like hers!!!!!

"Jordan's" I.P. should be blocked from this site.

honestly, with all the attention they receive as performers and musicians why do they care so much about what Thom did to them?
I think that such stars with ego masses the size of Delaware need to have someone who ignores them like Thom did in order to remind them that they're normal human beings.
It was an ass thing to do of Thom but at the same time it's admirable.

i ADORE radiohead and miley cyrus annoys the CRAP out of me but im not going to take sides completly. It was harsh for radiohead to snub miley, imagine if it was you who had a chance to meet them, you would take that chance right. miley didnt have to go all braty adolescent teen on them though, still she is only 16 and they were her favourite band, you can kinda understand how she might have felt.
