Reverend And The Makers frontman Jon McClure has launched a stinging attack against Razlorlight’s Johnny Borrell – comparing Borrell’s self confidence to Adolf Hitler.
Speaking ahead of the release of the band’s debut album, ‘The State Of Things,’ Mclure also called the Razorlight star a “bell end.”
"He's a bell end, he doesn't mean anything he says," explained McClure in an interview with the Guardian.
The frontman then went on to add: "On one level I respect his self-confidence, in the way you might begrudgingly respect Hitler for building the autobahns. If it were matched up with a genuine talent and intelligence then fair enough, but he hasn't got either. He's just got a big gob."

- Ha ha, I couldn’t have put it better myself Jon. Legend!
- Who on earth are Reverend and the Makers?
- let your music do the talking
- They’re all twats - Hitler, Borrell and McClure.
- true say Spike. but from what i can remember Hitler was an amazing public orator, Borrell puts on a good performance and Mcclure was boring at Glastonbury. Can your music do the talking McClure or do we now have to be burdened with another fucking mouthpiece spouting crap when not on stage?
