Colin Charles Greenwood (born June 26, 1969) is a member of Radiohead. He usually plays the bass guitar and is the brother of fellow band member Jonny Greenwood. His nickname is Coz and he is considered the friendliest member of Radiohead and the unofficial spokesman. He also has great sense of humour and jokes with his brother and bandmates. About his brother Jonny he says: "Unlike the Gallaghers we beat each other up in private and get on very well in public... It's really nice to be in a position where you're with a member of your family and you get on really well.".
Colin's bass ability is overshadowed by his fellow brother bandmember Jonny and Ed O'Brien, but his bass skills and abilities are consistent parts of Radiohead song.
Colin, having been working at Our Price, had a big hand in helping the band get off the ground. When Keith Wozencroft, nearing his run as a sales rep for EMI, entered the store one day, Colin said, "You should sign my band" and handed him their demo tape. That got it all started for the band with EMI. His wife Molly is an American literary writer and Colin has also graded poetry for various competions in the past few years.
