Stereophonics Attack Radiohead

By SP

Radiohead are whining, pampered stars and Thom Yorke is a"miserable twat."These are the words of Stereophonics.According to NME, the band had nothing positive to say about Radiohead in an interview with Hot Press.Kelly Jones was quoted saying,"We can all relate to that video -- y'know, having to do a hundred f**king idents for radio stations -- but that doesn't mean you've got to walk round and be a miserable twat to everybody, which is what Thom Yorke is mostly. I've see him at festivals looking like the world's about to end."I suspect that Thom Yorke was a moany bastard long before Radiohead,"added drummer Stuart Cable.And bassist Richard Jones said:"With them, you can tell they've never had a proper job. We had to work for money, whereas they're from well-to-do families. They never had to get up at 7.30 in the morning and do shit. Or if they did, it was probably a part-time job so they could go off skiing with their mates at Christmas."
