This is a very believable story considering how much Thom does indeed hate crowdsurfers. I dunno how many times I've seen him say "All crowdsurfers are wankers."
I'm glad Thom called him out. Who in their right mind would try to crowd surf at a Radiohead show, seriously? It's actually pretty well known that Thom Yorke hates crowd surfers. I've seen him mention it more than once.
@@jaydenrock Thom doesn't hate Creep. He just hated playing it all the time ... and only being known for that song by the masses. As My Iron Lung implies ... it was suffocating. Plus, Creep was a song about girl he had a creepy crush on at University. Granted it has some chords that The Air I Breath had, Creep is still a genius song. Back in the day, people crowd surfed to The Bends. And then OK Computer happened. The vibe of the band became different. Even moreso with Kid A. Great, but different.
@@karlabrandao4799 He's from the Whitest Kids U Know, one of the best sketch groups ever. Don't know why you felt a need to broadcast your ignorance but good for you I guess.
Fact is that Thom can get easily angry; repeating the same words over and over again yelling your head off - so yea that's very Thom Yorke. But he's usually right too - also a fact.
He explains multiple times that the context is very different from what he was used to. People do stupid things when they're fish out of water because they don't know the rules of that setting.
Dude?! the same thing happened to me at 9:30 club. I went to see Hanson on their comeback tour with an ex. Hanson didn’t call me a dickhead, but I eventually got kicked after sending the bouncer on a wild goose chase. 9:30 club had a set of stairs that created an alternate loop to keep the bouncer guessing my path. I decided to leave on my own when I saw that the bouncer was worn out. I ended up talking music outside with the opening band as they packed up their equipment. Old Rasputin was on tap that night
Jim Choe the bends tour in 1995. It was when they were still pretty intense and loud, and there were people trying to mosh violently when I saw them on Seattle on that tour. He said the same kinda stuff. I mean. People were moshing to “fake plastic trees.” Like, elbow’s out, violent moshing.
duh what happens if i just randomly jump on people..? crowdsurfing requires some cooperation, otherwise its basically assault, people get hurt if they aren't trying to catch you.
I saw Radiohead in 2008 in Manchester and people started moshing during a song (can't remember which) and Thom stopped playing and said 'What are you doing? We're not the f*cking Arctic Monkeys, calm down!'
I can see this being an honest mistake. In an extreme example, Ive seen mosh pits where people come out looking terrible but that behavior is normal at certain live shows. Zach just was playing by different "concert rules". I can also see Thom looking at a guy hurting other people and getting pissed off since the people getting hurt were just trying to enjoy music. Zach din't mean to harm but did. Thom clearly wanted to return that harm to Zach, at least emotionally, which if it corrected behavior that was imposing harm on others was called for. However he probably did go too far with continually calling him out after he stopped and left the main area. Conclusion, I think they were both dickheads, but Thom had the microphone. But who cares this is the internet.
Maybe, but we weren't there, so we don't really know. I, for one, can't actually imagine Thom shouting continuously and sounding *that* aggressive, but who knows?
@@jorgepeterbarton Dumbass 17-year-old punk kids who probably aren’t all that sober. Zach doesn’t mention it here, but he was kinda heavy into drugs at the time too, in addition to just being young and dumb and not used to these kind of shows
We don't crowdsurf at Radiohead shows. We recite meaningful poetry and cry to piano ballads. Afterwards? We exchange book recommendations. We are too cool for surfing in all its Earthly forms.

one does not simply crowdsurf at a Radiohead concert
...unless its Myxomatosis.

Thom has also said that crowdsurfers are wankers

That sounds 100% real Thom, hahaha.

Radiohead was Conan's first ever musical guest in 1993.

D LG Thom Yorke hates a lot of things. Creep, symmetrical faces, and crowd surfing
Also: good music
Yeah, by ok computer tho they had signs on the door saying “no moshing or crowd surfing please, thanks.” But I wish the sign said “NO DICKHEADS!”

I’m not surprised people don’t know who Zach is but god damn is that sad... WKUK was my childhood.

i'm a simple man
i see radiohead and i click
Go outside
He should’ve done this interview happier & with his mouth open
Wel, in 1995 there certainly was crowd surfing. Front row Radiohead at Roseland 1996 there was still surfing.
At least this dude learned from it lmao.
Who in here remembers WKUK? Its was great!
Thom was right
Yeah bro I'm sure you were a rocket scientist when you were 17.
Saw Zach Cregger in the title and clicked.
I miss him and his buddies, and their hi-jinks and proverbial shenanigans.
WE HAVE TO BE EVEN!
They started a twitch channel and a new youtube channel. No sketches but talks, chats, stories and DnD roleplay. Raising funds to a new WKUK movie.
Well told story, I’m sure Thom was livid!
This actually sounds like it happened
He will always be Zach from “Whitest Kids You Know” to me.
I mean, he is Zach, from Whitest Kids U Know, so
I did not think i could love thom more than i already do
Who crowdsurfs on a Radiohead concert?
This was probably during the Pablo Honey era.

Will whitest kids u know ever come back? I know Timmy can't be involved much because of his family, but you basically have the whole crew with you.
