Green Day And Radiohead Row Over Loud Volume
By WENN Apr 9, 2005, 07:51 GMT
Radiohead drummer Phil Selway reacted in fury when he was kept awake by a loud party held by Green Day - but was locked inside his hotel room by the Basket Case stars as a result.
The dispute was sparked when Green Day partied into the night at Los Angeles' infamous Chateau Marmont hotel, forcing tired Selway - who was trying to sleep in a nearby room - to knock on the door and beg Tre Cool to turn down the noise.
In response to the request, Cool turned off the music, but blasted out a different album moments later - Radiohead's "Ok Computer." And in a further act of mischief, Cool tied a rope around Selway's door - keeping him trapped inside.
Cool says, "(Selway said), 'You let me out you f**ker! I'm telling Thom (Yorke, Radiohead frontman).'
"(I said), 'Dude, if you walk into a room of hot chicks and they're blasting out you're album, you're like, What up? Right?'"

this story is in the newest Q magazine wherein they quote Tre Cool directly...
and wherein he does not use the word "fury", nor "beg". this retelling makes it seem worse than i think it probably was...

FROM Q MAGAZINE:
But if there was one defining moment for their re-invention, it was an encounter with Radiohead. The night before Radiohead played Coachella festival in 2004, (Green Day drummer) Tre Cool was in his room at the hotel Chateau Marmont partying when he got a knock at the door. It was Radiohead's drummer, Phil Selway, in his slippers, asking him to turn the music down.
The Green day drummer refused and put on a Radiohead album at full volume. Next morning he tied a rope round Selway's door knob so he couldn't get out.
"You let me out, you f**ker! I'm telling Thom!" is what he claims Selway shouted.
"Dude, if you walk into a room of hot chicks and they're blasting your album, you're like, What up? Right?" shrugs (Green Day's bassist Mike) Dirnt.
They like Radiohead. It's just that this was progress, because back in the old days they might have felt guilty about upsetting a band.

is right. Musicians can be such wussies. If I had had to complain, I would have turned Tre's music down for him. If he got froggie and turned it up again, stereo out the window.

I'll have to retract my statement that Green Day should hang it up, after seeing how old they looked on SNL. That was funny, and I'm glad Green Day are still acting like 12 year olds.
