"We couldn't have played against a better band because I think they are terrible and so do many people" - Tim Wheeler

Ash's frontman Tim Wheeler said: "We couldn't have played against a better band because I think they are terrible and so do many people."

Razorlight drummer Andy Burrows responded: "I don't know [Tim] so I don't know if what he said was out of character or not. I'm a big fan of Ash and I think a bit of healthy competition is good."

After their Friday night show in Reading, Razorlight headed north to Leeds for a gig at the Festival's sister site on Saturday.
