McClure: 'Spice Girls are grandmas in PVC'
From DS
Reverend and the Makers singer John McClure has made a scathing attack on the reunited Spice Girls.
The frontman claims that the girl group have had a negative effect on the music industry and that they look an embarrassment on stage.
He told the Daily Star: "The Spice Girls are in it for the money.
"They’re totally devoid of talent and everyone knows why they’re back. All these reunions of old codgers like them is f**king rubbish.
"The Spice Girls look like d**kheads, walking around in PVC like grandmas."
McClure also took a swipe at Simon Cowell, comparing him to the devil and blaming him for the troubles of struggling musicians.
He added: "It’s not fair on the musicians fighting a losing battle trying to get heard. The music industry is full of nepotism and I’d like to see the fat cats on their knees.
"People like Simon Cowell are the Devil."

Alphabeat snub Spice Girls offer
From DS
Danish pop group Alphabeat have refused to support The Spice Girls on the UK leg of their world tour because they do not like their music.
The European singers were asked by the five-piece to play a series of gigs at London's O2 Arena in January, but they decided against it after hearing the girls' tracks.
A source told The Sun: "They're (Alphabeat) not the biggest fans of the girls. It's not really how they want to launch in the U.K."
The Spice Girls have now decided not to have a support act during the London shows.
Alphabeat are expected to become huge next year after record label EMI won a bidding war to get them on board. Mika's manager is also representing the group.
