Radioheads In Rainbows isnt exactly what youd call a rocker. Nevertheless, apparently it was rockin enough to inflict hearing damage on the bands bassist Colin Greenwood.
In a recent interview with Word, Greenwood revealed he experienced temporary hearing loss and tinnitus after the recording of In Rainbows, laying blame on wearing the wrong headphones.
"[It was] a fucking nightmare. It [his hearing] came back, mostly. It doesnt feel like Im talking to people underwater anymore, he told Word. "For a few months afterwards Id be watching the telly and suddenly heard these high-pitched whistling noises as more and more high frequencies came back.
For Radioheads sake, hopefully Greenwood has his ears covered up and protected for the bands upcoming North American tour, which kicks off in August.
