British rockers Radiohead are to play a "green" gig on a U.S. talkshow by performing via satellite link-up from the U.K. - saving them from flying across the Atlantic.The band - who are known for their planet-friendly stance - refused to fly by plane to perform on Late Night with Conan O'Brien later this week (beg21Apr08) in a bid to reduce their carbon footprint.Frontman Thom Yorke insists that one flight to the U.S. would have produced the equivalent pollution to driving a car for a whole year.The band's appearance on the hit show comes as part of O'Brien's contribution to TV channel Nbc's "Green Week" - seven days of environmentally conscious programming.Meanwhile in related news Radiohead, along with Bruce Springsteen, Danger Mouse and Led Zeppelin have all been honoured as the best of 2008 in Rolling Stone magazine's annual Best of Rock issue.Radiohead have been named Best Festival Band, Springsteen and his E Street Band Best Live Act, Danger Mouse Best Producer and Led Zeppelin Best Reunion.Also among those celebrated: Mastodon (Best Metal Band); Chris Brown (Best New Michael Jackson); Bonnaroo (Best Festival); Against Me (Best Punk Band), and Lil Wayne (Best MC).
