Nearly six years after his awesome similar dis of Beck, Wayne Coyne unloads on Arcade Fire to Rolling Stone: "Whenever I've been around them, I've found that they not only treated their crew like shit, they treated the audience like shit. They treated everybody in their vicinity like shit ... I don't care if it's Arcade Fire or Brian Eno. If either of them walked into a room and treated people like shit I'd be like, 'Fuck you, get outta here.' ... People treat Arcade Fire like they're the greatest thing ever and they get away with it. Those sort of opinions change my view of their music. They have good tunes, but they're pricks, so fuck 'em." [Smoking Section/Rolling Stone via Stereogum]
