Radiohead criticize EMI

Before Radiohead leave EMI, they were probably the most important band under that label! After the “divorce” the band released a very succesfull album, In Rainbows! What EMI would do in order to take advantage of the band’s top popularity? Just to create a “Greatest hit“! Till then, Radiohead had never released a similar compilation!
So it is not a surprise that the band won’t support this movement! Radiohead members criticised this idea in the past (remember Phil and Ed sayings). Thom Yorke recently came into this, saying that Radiohead have never had a real hit: “We haven’t really had any hits so what exactly is the purpose? It’s a wasted opportunity. If we’d been behind it, and we wanted to do it, then it might have been good.”
In addition, Thom Yorke denied rumours that the band asked 10 millions from EMI in order to come back!
PS: Radiohead will rest for two days before they start touring again! It is time for me to rest also!

Phil Selway had an interview for GigWise. What he said was really interesting and noone can doubt that he has only good news to bring! Phil believes that Radiohead play now better than ever: “I think we’re playing well at the moment“, “I think we’re playing the best weve ever played, so yes, all those things add up to it being a good time to be in Radiohead.” So the fans are going to enjoy great gigs, in the upcoming tour! Phil also said that, after 7 albums, the band can change the set during the tour, and that is really pleasant for them.
Answering to the question whether they are going to stop playing music Phil Selway said that this won’t happen soon: “I think for all of us, as long as its still moving forward and it sits with all our lives then yes, Im sure we will carry on making music, as there’s loads of impetus there to do it.“
Great news indeed! Can’t wait for the tour to start!

When Radiohead released their 7th album, EMI decided to release a set box with the previous 6 studio and 1 live album! Now, while Radiohead announce their Tour dates, EMI seems to be releasing a Greatest Hits album! Ed O’ Brien and Phil Selway admit that this is a correct information!
Selways said to Analogue: “It’s well within their rights to do it. [sigh]. So we’ll have to see.”
O’Brien told Strombo: “They’re planning to do a Greatest Hits for April, May to coincide with our tour. That’s an interesting one. We won’t be doing any promotion for that, obviously.”
