New kid on the block Jake Bugg has certainly been speaking his mind recently, after slating boy band sensation One Direction during an interview for Shortlist Magazine.
The tactless 18 year-old should simply be forgiven for speaking his mind, as his stance is reminiscent of the controversial Gallagher brothers. With his foul mouth and ’60s style, he is a lovable rouge- but not to some.
When interviewer Jimi Famurewa mentioned One Direction as “the closest thing to rock stars that we have these days”. Shocked at these claims, Bugg blurted out “Who the f*ck is saying that?”
He continued his rant by saying it was easy to have fun “When you don’t have to write any songs. People [call them the new Beatles] because they broke America, but that don’t mean a thing. I mean, [One Direction] must know that they’re terrible. They must know… Calling them the new rock stars is a ridiculous statement. And people should stop making it.”
This isn’t the first time he has hit out at former X Factor contestants either- last October he told NME that Leona Lewis’ music“was sh*t”. For a guy who still lives with his mother and is unaccustomed to fame, he certainly has a strong opinion on certain celebrities.
Members of One Direction did not take kindly to the criticism as they took to Twitter to vent their frustration. Niall Horan tweeted “Really buggs me that artists we’re fans of,flip on us in the press!” (I like what he did there)
Louis Tomlinson also tweeted ” Hi @JakeBugg do you think slagging off boy bands makes you more indie?”
Clearly these boys need to be kept apart! Check out the rest of the interview with Jake Bugg here.
