Youngster Jake Bugg could be forgiven for his first bout of verbal diarrhea last week, when he lashed out on X Factor rejects One Direction. However his second attack puts him in a less favourable position after he spoke about the band during an interview at the NME Awards last night.
He told the press he did not believe One Direction should even be classed as a band- this came in light of the news that the group had won the NME award for "Worst Band".
Bugg commented "I don't know how they can really be considered a band though to be honest". After saying this he suddenly seemed reluctant to speak, telling his interviewer that his comments would probably "wind [the band] up".
He was also asked about their popularity around the world reflecting their success:
"They're there to look good...Music wise? I assume they don't really have a clue. We'll just see. They might do"
He went on to say "Probably the ugliest one is the best singer. He might know a couple of chords."- ouch!
The singer seemed less than starstruck by anyone and described award ceremonies as "boring",despite his nominations for Best Solo Artist and Best Album at last night's awards- he also claimed he had no idea who he was up against.
The interviewer also teased Bugg by asking him if he would be interested in writing any songs for One Direction. He replied sourly "No. That should be their job, not mine."
Meow!
