No.
I'm mates with their old roadie. He tells some anecdotes that confirm they are cunts.

Details please
I always suspected they might be cunts but was prepared to accept that I may have been pre-judging them based on not liking their music at all, not even one little bit.

It's 'too hot for /OT'
They are cunts. Ashcroft even more than he appears - convinced of his own genius, based on a fluke hit single and nothing more. Cunts.

Bollocks is anything "Too hot for OT"
We're not liable to press charges based on scurrilous slander, are we. I also doubt you can lower my opinion of Ashcroft, he falls into that 90's Britpop frontman demographic of which the only membership criteria seemed to be fronting a godawful band and being a cunt. Think about it - Albarn, Gallagher, Anderson, Power, Cocker - was any one of those men not a massively irritating bastard? There must be others I've forgotten.

Ooh, it seems I still have some reserves of bitterness yet to exhaust with regards to the most musically barren period in modern British history

To be fair it is a requirement that a lead singer is...
...a self absorbed cockmaster regardless of the genre.

He got a kicking from his US road crew...
...after they played Boston Pavillions for being an absolute twat to ervyone backstage. Also he apparently once asked one of them to punch a woman for him - of course they told him to fuck off.
