10 Rockers Who Yelled At Their Fans Onstage
9. Radiohead Kicks Out Heckler
You can't really find a more laid back band than Radiohead on the road these days. As much as they might be in tune with themselves whenever they play, you're never going to see some of the insane rock star behavior coming from Thom Yorke any time soon. He does take care of his fans though, and has zero tolerance to the people who are getting in the way of things.
When the band were heading on the road to promote In Rainbows, there were a few moments where Thom and Jonny would break out acoustic guitars for a segment of the show, playing some of the more mellow material like Faust Arp. That apparently didn't sit well with one particular fan, who seemed to want them to go back to playing the more electric songs, and he made everyone within earshot know it around him.
Though you can easily avoid these guys at concerts, it did manage to catch Thom's eye, and he took time out of the song during one of the breaks to put the guy in his place, telling him to cool out or to leave the show. Thom even throws in a cruel dunk, saying that he's not there to have fun and this fan doesn't really get out that much. As much as fans might like to cause a stir every now and again, you've reached another level when the mellow guys in Radiohead are making fun of you.
