McCulloch takes aim at 'spud-peelers' U2

Outspoken Echo and the Bunnymen leader Ian McCulloch has sparked a new rock feud with supergroup U2 after calling them "spud peelers" who wanted to become part of the music industry's elite in a new magazine interview.

The 'Killing Moon' singer insists Bono and his band have become just like Bob Geldof, Sting and "all of them c**ts who no one really likes."
