Manic Street Preachers' Nicky Wire has hit out at Radiohead's Ed O'Brien calling him a “c*nt.”

The bassist made the comments at an ultra-intimate 300 capacity show in Glasgow last night celebrating the 29th birthday of the King Tuts Wah Wah Hut.

Wire said: "Apparently Ed O'Brien called me a wanker, I'm really f*cking scared, go back to your boarding school you c*nt!"

He made the comments in the light of O'Brien saying that Nicky Wire was talking “bollocks” when criticising Radiohead's pay-what-you-want download for 'In Ranbows'.

In December, Wire said: “Fair play to Radiohead for doing something different. It’s certainly great for publicity but I think it kind of demeans music.”

1. Strip It Down
2. Your Love Alone Is Not Enough
3. Motorcycle Emptiness
