| | | McFly hit back at Dan Radcliffe
Dan Radcliffe has previously made some scathing remarks about McFly.
The boys from the band did some guest editing for The Mirror newspaper recently and in the process, responded to the remarks Dan made about them. Quote:
Bass player Dougie, 18, went for the jugular with Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe. "I've never met him but if I did I'd throw a bag of [censored] over his head.
"He's slagged us off in interviews - we've never met him, so I don't know where it's coming from," he added.
"He's going to be embarrassed when he does meet us."
Guitarist Tom chipped in with: "It's happened to us when we've slagged off people we haven't met and when we do meet them we just feel stupid - that's how we want him to feel.
"He said about us: 'I know bands who can actually play their instruments and who write their songs.' Well, we know actors who play more than one character. He's got his facts wrong."
We take it Daniel won't be buying McFly's latest single, the rocking Ultraviolet/Ballad Of PaulK then, which is out now...

| Lol! I think McFly are right! I mean ok, McFly isn't really Dan's sort of music, but there's no point of being rude... |

He`s got good taste, though I don`t share it, but that`s not for this thread.
I like Radiohead very much, so...never heard of McFly, but I suppose Ukraine is a little bit behind about these things and that doesn`t matter. I haven`t heard of them, but I think they`re rather cool, and I`m going to learn about them more. Though they look like classic pop-punks  *chuckles* |

| I agree with what he said. Dan I mean. McFly isn't that great of a band... and they are kinda fake-ish.... Sorry *hides from angry Mcfans* What they said was just as "bad" as what he said. Where do they get off? I know they were insulted but, they could be a little more mature about it. They're acting like five year olds. The only difference is the bad language. |

| Well everyone has there own opinion and if Dan does not like them he has every right to say what is on his mind. And McFly has every right to be mad at whatever Dan has said to offend them. But I think it is all childish games. But that is my opinion. |

| | | Reading back over what Dan said he did seem to be quite rude about the whole thing; he kept calling his music "the right music" as if anyone who dared to like any other music wasn't entitled to. I love Dan and all, but he needs to be a little more open-minded about music and clue into the fact that yes, other people may like music that he thinks is rubbish, but that doesn't make his music anymore "right" than theirs.
But McFly were equally unprofessional to be rude about such a popular figure, so I guess it's all quits. | |

I can't believe that both parties would resort to all the name calling and rude comments though. Kinda childish on everyone's part in my opinion.
Yes, and didn't Dan just recently turn 15? So take that for what you will; McFly could have posted this ages ago, and we are just now finding out about it. | No, he recently turned 16. |

| Never heard of McFly...but I've heard of&seen plenty of Daniel Radcliffe ! Really,somebody's all twisted ! Dan's played about three characters if I'm correct (that includes HP,young David Copperfield,Mark from "The Tailor of Panama") and most recently Maps in December Boys....so I think it's clear whose got their facts wrong. Besides,Dan has the right to express his opinion freely just like they do....but I hope when they do meet each other (if they do) nothing physical erupts. |

| Never heard about this before. Quick question though, the comment on actors play more than one character, Was Dan actually an actor before this?? I thought they chose him for his looks mostly to match the character Harry. Besides its not like he has time to do other movies while doing everything for the Potter films. |

His filmography is here. And he also used to act in plays. |

| That was kind of harsh, on both parts. I don't particularly like McFly, but I have seen them live and they were pretty good. They do play all their own instruments... well, most. And Daniel Radcliffe isn't the greatest actor, but he is improving. |

| Oh please...I hate when bands act like this. I understand that it struck a chord, but they could act a bit more mature and not throw back insults like a bunch of little kids. It's just one person's opinion....but granet Dan really should learn to keep his mouth shut about things like that.  He's a celebrity....things travel fast and get taken the wrong way easily. |

| But this is really not surprising anymore. McFly is not the only band dan has slagged off. Even the great Green Day has taken flak from him. And Green Day have done their own retaliation on him in this interview-- Quote:
Interviewer: So guys, we have another question for you - Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) has said that all your music sounds like Good Charlote! How do you feel?
Billie: Well.... hurt (laughs) Good Charlote is okay.. but comparing us to Good Charlote?!?! (shakes head) If you ever interview him, ask him if he knows Dookie? Cause from the sound of things, he's only just found out who we are! (laughs)
Tre: I heard that guys a punk?
(Billie, Mike and Tre laughs)
Billie: Oh yeah, he's punk just as much as Ashley Simpson! (laughs again)
Mike: Yeah, yeah, lets say that Harry Potter is a Punk God like us!
Tre: Yeah, maybe we could send him Pop Music ****!
Billie: He's not Punk. Its like he's one of the people who gets told that "we're punk" and he's like - (Billie opens mouth wide) "Oh My God!"
| I'm not a danfan, but I dont hate him either -- so you must agree that people would be doing him more favor by saying he should stop this "better than you" attitude. Its constructive criticism for him... as the cliche goes "you have to be cruel, to be kind." |

| McFly should really get over themselves, they are older than him. the only people who semm to like them are the under13s and the crowds of girls that fancy them. Any one who can play an instrument or like the kind of music Dan likes thinks bands like mcfly busted and son of dork are incredibly fake |
