The rarely on-message Dougie Poynter has revealed that McFly weren't that keen about releasing a greatest hits album. In an interview with Digital Spy the band's bassist says: "It [the recently released hits package] wasn't really our decision. It's in our record contract that they can release a greatest hits whenever they want. I'm not angry about it, but I'd rather have released one more album and then done a greatest hits album. It would have made for a better mix of songs. After just three albums, it does feel very soon and you do get a lot of people thinking that we're going to split up now. It is a little frustrating".
Elsewhere in the interview, he was asked about that pube-burning incident at a recent GAY appearance promoting the hits album. Asked if he was nervous when the club's Jeremy Joseph suggested he set light to his pubic hair on stage he remarked: "Nah, I've done it before, but in a hotel. Luckily I've got a very big, thick bush that's very easy to light. As long as I always keep moving, it doesn't burn. And fire goes up, you know!"
