Son Of Dork frontman James Bourne has had a go at Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe over comments he apparently made at the end of last year indicating that he thought McFly and Son Of Dork were rubbish, implying that they couldn't actually play their instruments or write their own songs. He's wrong, of course. McFly aren't rubbish, can all play their instruments perfectly well, and they write their own songs.
But anyway, now former Busted boy Bourne has told the Mirror: "Us and McFly are going to kick his arse. Daniel Radcliffe talks a lot of shit. He keeps talking about everyone else's talent but he should look at his own - he is atrocious." Bandmate David Williams added: "He's a shit actor and the shittest character in the whole movie."
When Radcliffe first made those comments back in December, or whenever it was, the McFly boys responded in a slightly more lucid and intelligent manner than the Son Of Dork boys. Bassist Dougie told The Mirror. "He's slagged us off in interviews - we've never met him, so I don't know where it's coming from. He's going to be embarrassed when he does meet us."
Whilst guitarist Tom added, "It's happened to us when we've slagged off people we haven't met and when we do meet them we just feel stupid - that's how we want him to feel. He said about us: "I know bands who can actually play their instruments and who write their songs." Well, we know actors who play more than one character. He's got his facts wrong."
Yes. Yes he has.
