Ever outspoken, The Enemy’s Tom Clarke has launched a stinging tirade on both Heather Mills and Peaches Geldof.
Speaking to Gigwise, the Coventry lad was asked about who his heroes and zeros of 2007 were, and naturally he had some zeros fixed firmly in his sights.
On Heather Mills, Clarke said: “Put your leg back on you whining attention seeking money grabbing heartless witch. Money can't buy you love, love.”
Turning his attention to Peaches Geldof, he continued: "She tried to sue us because I said that the only reason she was at glasto in a big shiney Winnebago (tarted up camper van to you and me) was because her dad didn't like Mondays.
“The case never made it into court, obviously someone in her daddy's legal team with half a brain realised that it was in fact true. Peaches......sour grapes.”
Notorious for shooting his mouth off, we asked Clarke whether he regretted anything he has said. Typically he remained unrepentant.
He told us: “Why would anyone regret being honest? Getting straight to the point and cutting through the bullshit saves time and lets everyone know where you stand. The problem with bands now days is everyone's terrified of the N M fucking E, scared that the media won't accept them.
“What everyone needs to do is grow a set of bollocks, say what they're really thinking...and that goes for the media too, if there's anyone or anything to blame for setting shit trends that last two seconds before disappearing into obscurity it's the music press.
“New rave is here to save the world...oh no hang on a second it's dead....new rave never existed, it amounted to probably less than ten glossy pages in the press cuttings of 2007, people need to stop over-thinking stuff....you either like stuff or you don't, it's that simple. So err......no.”

- It is pretty funny to be honest!! Not a big fan of their music too, but always good when Tom shoots his mouth off

- Surprised - he’s talking a lot of sense!

- Love the fact that ”rock stars” like this cock have to slag other people off to get some publicity because their music is a pile of wank.
