Kanye West wasn’t the only singer Radiohead allegedly dissed at the Grammys. Teen pop star Miley Cyrus was so devastated that her fellow Grammy performers wouldn’t chill with her backstage, she left the ceremony early! So she promises to “ruin” them. This latest drama was revealed on the Johnjay & Rich radio show on Tuesday. Here’s what happened.
There’s a band Miley Cyrus would be “freaking out, crying, on my knees” if she met, she tells the DJs. (I think we can relate to that much, Thom Yorke is dreamy.) She goes on to say she asked her manager to pull every string so she could just meet her heroes. Radiohead’s response? “We don’t really do that kind of thing.” It’s difficult to be sure, because Miley speaks really fast and doesn’t enunciate, but it sounds like Radiohead rebuffed her to her face. Which means I can see why she’d be upset (though you’d think this #1 superfan would know that Thom Yorke is a little shy?), but she doesn’t have to go on the radio and play a ten-minute game having everyone guess who dissed her.
Other highlights if you listen to the whole thing: Miley heard a crazy rumor that Kings of Leon are preacher’s sons. CRAZY. And, in response to the host’s guess the offending artist was Boyz II Men? “I don’t listen to rap.” At the very end, she sings a line of “Creep” to the RADIO DJ who claims to not know who Radiohead is. Audio below, via The Modern Age.
Letcha know when Thom responds on his LiveJournal.

“I don’t like, like rap, or like, pop.” Are you serious? What is your music, Miley? Rock? That was painful.
Who the fuck is Miley Cyrus?
this has publicity stunt written all over it… as in, her agent is trying to migrate her away from her fan base of 10 year olds and transform her into a legit musician.
anyhoo, like, regardless of what it’s about that was the most tedious fucking 10 minutes of radio i’ve ever heard.
I got the album name wrong, I am hated by all Radiohead fans… meh…rainbows are colourfull, it was a common mistake (well no but it’s been a while)
Thom just burned his Hannah Montana sheet set.
I had to withstand like, after like, after like just to hear Hannah Montana say Radiohead? Like I don’t like really like give a like rats *** like about you girl.
I REALLY want them to cover her. That would be hysterical.
Boo-fucking-hoo Miley (and Kanye for that matter)! How do you reckon you’re going to ruin Radiohead Miley! I almost choked on my tea when I read that.
i guess that ends the hope for the radioehead hannah montana 3D concert.
Doesn’t radiohead have to care for it to be called a fued?
< what's happening to this line over here?
It’s a THREAD!
She claims to be a huge fan, but she says that they’re not current, and she sings a line of “Creep” to prove she knows the band… *facepalm*
miley’s voice makes my head hurt.
stupid bitch.
hahahaha well, i’ll give her a LITTLE cred for even knowing who they are and supposedly liking them. i’m guessing some hipper music friend of hers, or her BAND most likely, filled up her iPod with 50 of their songs. but yeah, hilarious haha. and i love how Kanye thinks he deserve cred for being a RH fan, gimme a break kanye, you over-rated half talent twat, guess what, you AINT the first n only brotha to like Radiohead ah-ite, get over it mr edgy alterna-rapper haha, btw, NICE ONE on the vh1 concert, WOW, u suck SO SO bad, 5 more years tops with that one…

radiohead….”we don’t really do that”. good don’t get yourself involved with kanye or miley.
yep, and the best way to do that is stay away from old grammies
“I do music because I like making people happy”
-Miley Cyrus
Does she know who she’s dealing with?
Radiohead released “Kid A” and “Amnesiac” on a major label. Then they self-released “In Rainbows” without the backing of a label ? and gave it away.
She has a really inflated opinion of herself if she honestly after all that, SHE’LL be able to “ruin” them.
Most importantly: Even after “giving away” the album, people loved it enough to buy it anyway.
So is Stereogum being sponsored by TMZ this week?
Miley Cyrus is an annoying little cunt. This made me dislike her 129083018 times more.
I’m not a huge fan of Radiohead. I’m more of a Zep guy. However their music is better than Miley’s “music” (which is actually a ton of techno and synthesizers while she worries about trying to remember what shapes she has to make with her mouth when the words play on the music). So here’s to you Radiohead, for proving that true artists recognize the “up and coming talent” is really a load of crap
“are you nervous at all…i mean, youve played on some of the biggest stages in the world but the grammys is differant you know’
miley has rocked the biggest stages in the world…
….
HA
no punchline. miley is enough of a joke already
So i am thinking there was alot of foot stomping, table banging, wailing.
Also who has a better chance to creep out radiohead, Miley or Billy RAY
How’s this for creepy:
“Creep” , “Achy Breaky Heart” , *and* Miley Cyrus were all “released” in the same year: 1992.
The song “Creep” is older than she is.
Since nobody else has mentioned it, I just wanted to give kudos on the fantastic alliteration in the title. One more R word and it would have been just perfect.
“i dont really like, like rap or pop”………………….-miley
she is pop…..
he doesnt know who radiohead is and they said that their performance sucked….who the fuck do these people think they are
you guyyyyyssssss she’s just being miley!
1) Radiohead must start being nicer, don’t they know that fat little white girls are their core demographic.
2) This reminds me of when little Johnny Lipniski went on the Super Happy Funtime Radio Hour and totally ripped into Anton from The Brian Jonestown Massacre because apparently Anton did not give little Johnny his fair cut in a heroin transaction.
3) When did Miley enter her “psychadelic” phase?
she should have expected this from them. ha why is she so hurt.
I’m more offended by how badly the DJs kiss her ass. Sounds like a real compelling radio show.
Someone slap this stupid bitch already.
The arrogance of teen shitty pop stars is beyond ignorant.
Hi-five, Thom!
Bill Hicks would be proud.
I’m glad a Disney princess who makes music for 6-10 year old little girls is incapable of getting a rise out of Radiohead’s obviously superior and sophisticated fans. I’m glad you all could prove you’re above this.
love the foo fighters + don’t know who radiohead is = this dj is a fuckface
We can all say how ridiculous this interview sounds.
My brain has officially deteriorated after listening.
The DJ’s of this show has absolutely no taste in music.
Why am i listening to this again?
Wow, guys, news just in – Myley is in her first stage of a 10 step phase to ruin Radiohead.
STEP 1 – Denounce the band via a radio station
STEP 2 – Tell all of her fans (many of whom are life-long Radiohead fans) that this band is just plain nasty.
STEP 3 – Write them a stern letter. e.g Dear Radiohead, I’m like sooo hurt right now guys.
STEP 4 – Get her dad Billy-Ray to sabotage Radiohead’s next record. “Do it dad, or I’ll divorce you!”
STEP 5 – Point at Thom Yorke and laugh at his funny eye until he cracks.
STEP 6 – Point out the obvious fact that Johnny Greenwood is actually a women. (true)
STEP 6 – Leak official Radiohead documents which categorically prove Ed’s guiter is never plugged in, he does nothing.
STEP 7 – Make fun of bands with bald drummers.
STEP 8 – Kidnap Radioheads boyfriend Nigel Godrich and make him spill the beans about Thom’s addiction to minor chords, IT’S AN ADDICTION PEOPLE!
STEP 9 – Employ Lilly Allen & Lindsay Lohan to clog up peoples twitter pages with stuff like “HI GUYS, I’M JUST LIKE, UM, LIKE SHOPPING AT THE MOMENT, K, COOL! OH, BTW, HOW LAME ARE RADIOHEAD, K BYE THANKS.
Step 10 – Hire that cretin Chros Martin to wipe the band out, and U2 for old times sake.
The only thing that saddens me about this is the fact that by “ruin”, all Miley means is that she will trick her 13-yr-old-girl/boy fanbase into never giving Radiohead a chance.
But then again, that’s both a blessing and a curse.
That, and the fact that she “doesn’t like pop”.
Ah, misguided youth.
This is conspiratorial attempt by the Coldplay Camp to seed the next generation of teens with the idea that Coldplay are the “nice” UK band and Radiohead are the “mean” one. The parent company DEFINITELY orchestrated this…Prolly never happened at all…Poor girl.
EVERY “bad guy” drop is coupled with a good guy mention of Chris Martin.
and while I was listening to the audio of this and typing I developed a testicular goiter in my eye.

god.. she’s so annoying..
can’t someone just tell her so on my behalf?!?
A few comments here suggested Thom Yorke was improving his cachet by dissing Miley. Come on! Radiohead does NOT want to go the Oasis route. Niceness is its own reward, arrogance and aloofness is just annoying. Hey, I even expect the obscure noise bands like No-Neck and Jackie-O to play well with others. Don’t even get me started about the Pete Doherty or Amy Winehouse gang. Substance abuse and aloofness are both so 20th century. Even if Miley is immature and ADD, just say hi.
evidently, Radiohead is not current. Just because they’ve been out there for almost 20 years doesn’t make them not current.
Thom Yorke needs to stop acting so niggaish all the time lol
LOL!!!!!!!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSS
FUCK MILEY .
Radiohead is not cool with that top 40 talentless crap.
Good for Radiohead
The hilarity from this “feud” really makes me want to see someone try to start some shit with No Age.
What the hell has the world come to? Fuck miley cyrus and those radio characters. How can these people possibly be so wrong about everything? It’s become quite obvious that miley has been dropped on her head several more times by her father, billy bumfuck ray cyrus, than anyone could ever dream of. Miley will never even come close to the success of william hung, let alone the success of radiohead. Her views on “music” and her “better than sliced-bread” attitude are warped beyond belief. The day she somehow finds a way to “ruin stinkin’ radiohead” by “tellin all of her friends” and having a melodramatic temper tantrum will also be the day i drive my car full of explosives into the space mountain ride at disney world. Radiohead, way to put that annoying bitch in her place. Bravo.
So at 6:25 or so, as they are talking about the “ripped woman”, they reveal that she is a second-grade teacher. Miley goes “I would have thought that she teaches P.E.” Which is a perfectly fine (if a little close-minded) statement. But THEN she goes “Or a Spanish teacher.” Is Spain secretly made up of bodybuilders?How does she know this? Why did we not know this? WHY DOES SHE KNOW EVERYTHING AND WE KNOW NOTHING?
The sheer dumbassedry of that statement….Jesus..
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
Thom
off the radiohead blog^^^
While Miley Cyrus may be just like every other teenager trying to look cool or serious, Thom Yorke shouldn’t really be commended for this. It would be funny if it were a less pretentious artist. For God’s sake, he spells his name with an H. And as if that isn’t enough, he realizes the same album where he whines over blips for eighty minutes every single year. It’s a disgrace to his fans. In addition, he has an unforgivable wonky eye.
Noel Gallagher, is that you?
are u an idiot or a 12 years old miley /hana fan?
Radiohead are the band that clueless asshats refer to when they want to seem cool or relevant. Just like U2 was in the 80′s.
Miley is a talentless waste of oxygen that is coming up on the last of her 15 minutes. My five year old niece told me that other day that Miley Cyrus was lame now.
Miley should’t take what happen so personaly the band was probably nervous before performing and didnt want to see anyone you know how celebs are take the little stuff and blow it up to promote themselves. whats the big deal cant she meet them another time and place. she should just brush it off and move on it’s no like anyone died jezz.
What I find to be the most pathetic is a bunch of adults sitting on their computers slamming a 16 year old girl. Yes, she’s made mistakes like I’m sure a lot of you have. The only difference is that her’s are made public. You people need to realize that even though she’s famous she’s still a 16 year old girl with dreams of meeting her favorite celebrities like most normal 16 year olds. I think it’s really unfair for any of you to judge her and quite frankly you all should be ashamed of yourselves. This situation would be like you taking your kids to a concert or a ball game to in hopes that your kid may meet their idol and they get turned down. You would be upset as well as your own child.
I have to disagree. It’s ridiculous for people to think that they own a slice of [insert random celebrity]‘s time. If my kid didn’t get to meet there favorite ball player or whatever, I hope I’d have the insight to console them by suggesting perhaps Mr baseball just had a long day and want to get home to their own kid, rather than getting upset over it. It’s that kind of thought process that feeds the Star & People magazine of the world and distracts middle America from all the real evil shit that’s going in the world (ie, wars, famine, governmental abuse of rights, Miley Cyrus’s music, etc).
Thank you for this post, Jessica. I’m tired of self-important “artists” thinking they’re so special. Miley Cyrus is just a teenager, and she doesn’t claim that her music is deep or important. She admits she just likes making people happy, and as a mother of two young girls who like to sing and dance, I see nothing wrong with that. Kudos to Miley for listening to Radiohead. It shows she likes to explore beyond her own musical roots. Has anyone considered that when she said she would “ruin” Radiohead, she was JUST JOKING????? Geesh, everybody calm down.
Radiohead OWNS Miley Cyrus. They have every right to say no to whomever they want. Their performance was amazing. Get over it Miley. You aren’t God.
who are these disney ass kissing people
You all suck! Radiohead are going to fade with time and Miley Cyrus is going to become a rock legend. She has the influence of the Beatles and Radiohead has the influence of a bunch of whiney, dopeheaded, idiots of whom deserve to be ruined!
Go Miley!
I just think it’s funny how people take a defect like a lazy-eye and feel that it’s ok to make fun of someone based on that. It’s not as if he intentionally did that to himself so taking the piss out of that is just really, really low. Have some decency, please.
At the end of the day, I don’t think any artist owes it to anyone, to meet them. A little sad and disappointing for some, but they make music, not host meet-and-greet sessions. That’s the extra mile that some artists take, and others don’t. I for one, am a big Radiohead fan and have been for years, but have little to no desire to meet them. I just want to see them live because I believe the true glory is in their music.
You’re just a Miley hater… In 30 years, who’s gonna be remembered? A truly amazing girl who wrote great and amazing music, or some pot-headed band that experimented with electronics and stupid guitar sounds? Miley actually gives a shit about the people she reaches out to in her music, Radiohead are just money suckers who try to over-glorify themselves. Get the fucking picture people. Disney doesn’t just randomly pick stars that just have talent anymore. They’re looking for POSITIVE ROLEMODELS and Miley is one of them.
radiohead is the most influential band in all of music… who is going to be remembered in 20 years… RADIOHEAD. miley cyrus won’t make a career past five years… radiohead already has a long lived career that is still growing.. and they have progressed in music.. know how to play music.. write their own music.. have influenced EVERY NEW BAND you probably listen to.. but your probably right… miley cyrus will overpower them…. yeah right.
miley lover thinks radiohead are money suckers…makes sense to call a band who gives their album away for whatever price you want moneysuckers.
you dumb fuck
miley cyrus is GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! radiohead approved
Who the hell is Radiohead? I know who Miley is but I’ve never heard of Radiohead. Personally I wouldn’t listen to anyone who verbally attacks a kid on a radio show, I think they are jerks.
It was Miley who attacked Radiohead, you need to go back and listen to it again. Radiohead could give two shits less what she thinks or has to say. They didn’t attack her personally, just told her they don’t really do that. As they would have anyone else.
its really not about her lack of talent that annoys me. nor is it her attitude, cuz she just a young little juicy cunt. nor is it her nasty gumminess. its her face. her fucking face is annoying. she is also a contradiction…she says she hates pop music but she sings under the popiest categories out there (litttle teen cunting pop). she is a brat and if she was a huge fan of radiohead she should know that radiohead is anti pop, make your own road, leave me alone so i can be creative type of band. miley should have known that, but she just a little cunt who cant control herself. she thinks she is such a big star that she deserves to meet them. kanye didnt even get a chance. wat makes her think she can? wat a little bitch cunt. knowing radiohead they probably wouldnt let their mothers backstage. so miley. if u reading this and im sure that ur not but someone shud forward this to you, but you are a spoiled brat who sold your soul to disney making music and an image that you hate but are doing it for the money. cuz u know in another 2 or 3 years u mite not be marketable. my nieces used to be fans of u but have grown up and hate ur tired little cunt. they into “twilight”…not any better but definately the lesser of 2 evils. i do agree with jamie fox though. i would love to see u in porn cuz thats ur next move cuz u got no talent but u do have a young cunt.

ROFL!!!
THAT WAS HILARIOUS!!!
YOU ROCK & ROLL JAY
(especially love the amount of times you use the word cunt)
have a great day
Dear Hannah Montana,
Ommegawd… When I tried to meet Radiohead at the last show I attended they said the same thing. That was the day I realized I was just normal, oh and also I cried too. Radiohead isnt in the business to make other people happy Miley, Radiohead composes and performs music to express what they have inside them. I know thats probably a new concept to you but some folks actually do this for more then the money and contracts it brings. Oh and Kings of Leon were only nice to you because they wanted to hit it.
Again: who the f**k is miley cyrus? she’s some teen star on disney, right? children should know their place, but what do you expect from some 16 yr old wannabe princess worth tens of millions from some stoopid kid show.
OH NO……………….NO MILEY,,,PLEAAAAAAAAAASE i beg of u ….plz don’t ruin RADIOHEAD……………I know u can……….U did d same to AC/DC, Metallica, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith and practically every other rockstar that ever lived………………………..
I bet they’re just begging at your feet right now…..serves them right……….
P.S. Dont give dem ur new movie’s CD….(Which everybody will 4gt in 2 weeks…)
For gods sake she is only sixteen as so many of you keep pointing out. I’m pretty sure most 16 year olds act a little immature every once in a long while… haha I am just glad I didn’t get public scrutiny at 16
This is so ridiculous. I want to light her on fire and make her eat garbage. Mr. Foxx was correct. Make a sex tape. Grow up.
Miley Cyrus has lost her goddamn mind. She thinks she is going to hang with radiohead. All of her stupid ass songs will be forgotten in a couple of years. Thanks Thom for straightening her redneck ass out.
IT really is amazing how much people read into Thom Yorke declining a social invitation. It shows how delicate the egos of these mediocre artists become when they make some money. It didn’t even sound rude to me. I don’t understand any of this out rage at Radiohead. nobody is required to like them or Miley…so whats the difference if he doesn’t want to spend time in an awkward social situation with people he doesn’t know and is supposed to appreciate because they are also famous? Thats what I can’t stand about celebrities here in America……they take themselves way too seriously. Anyone that knows anything about Radiohead knows that they don’t hold celebrities on a pedestal (including themselves).
“I’m a weirdo”?!!! are you KIDDING me?!
How embarrassing!
Okay..
WTF IS THAT FAG ON?! she doesn’t like pop? wtf is she promoting? oh yeah, cat screeches. she seems to be a self absorbed ass. i am like not gonna like like radiohead cos’ they like didn’t want to like like meet like me. grow up child. thom yorke fucking rocks! if she’s gonna cover her songs…then yeah she’ll destroy them….
the person who said “who is miley cyrus” made my day lmfao
Miley Cyrus says the word “like” more times in this interview than they say the word “fuck” in Pulp Fiction. I love that Radiohead blew this clown off.
That was low
At least show some respect, even if you didnt like them.
I guessed this is what happens to spoiled girls nowadays
Oops, sorry
For a minute there I lost myself
No matter what anyone says,
I still think Thom Yorke is one of the coolest guys in the world
(Not forgetting Colin,Jonny,Phil and Ed)
P.S Miley , ambition makes you look pretty ugly
all you fucking Miley Cyrus lovers need to shut the fuck up.
you’re making yourselves look completely idiotic by defending her and criticizing Radiohead’s music.
sure, she’s famous… but she has no fucking talent whatsoever. she lip syncs on stage. Radiohead has been around FOREVER… and everyone has heard of them. if you haven’t, you need to crawl out from under that rock you’ve been living your entire life. Miley Cyrus is just a teenager… and there’s no doubt that her music will stop being popular in a few years. people will forget about her. that’s how it always goes.
…but NO ONE will ever forget Radiohead.
so once again, SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU LITTLE PRE-TEEN, HANNAH MONTANA-LOVING FUCKS.
What the hell is this kid sayin’? How come she is a singer??? How come she made a movie??? What is the fucking problem she has with her voice??? She can’t speak and her voice is disgusting!! And who the hell does she think she is???????? My God!!! Who makes this dumb kids famous???? Sorry for the questions,the thing is that I can’t believe what I’m hearing…
Umm, Miley? Yeah, uh, shut the fuck up. Radiohead doesn’t want to meet you ’cause YOU SUCK BULL TESTICLES and you look like a horse. What if Radiohead was tired, or maybe they were doing something important?
And Miley even used her popstar privileges to get to meet Radiohead. She could’ve just knocked and said hi. Well, maybe.
“Stinkin’ Radiohead.”
“I’m gonna ruin them.”
In your fucking dreams.
BTW, RADIOHEAD OWNS.
MILEY CYRUS!? Trying to “ruin” Radiohead? Yeah right, You and whose army? Miley Cyrus is a stupid little bitch trying to be something she isn’t, the only reason she got somewhere is because Daddy bought her a career. What the fuck are you going to do, get The New Kids on the Block to help you out. Miley deserves all the shit Radiohead gave her and then some!
get ur self together miley i`m ur biggest fan and i be leave in u so show papparazzi wat ur made of!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s1MKPQQQnI
this video sums it up. The grammar is terrible but I think she’s from a different country.
Stop hating on Miley she is a star! You just wish you could be like her. I just bought Miley Cyrus tickets for her Australian tour.
[laugh track]
She also dissed Cobain’s smells like teen spirit if i remember rightly… Cobaine’s fans will take Miley out to wonder wheeler land now
