Fuck's sake Nicky, if you had to change your mind over anything, this should have been at the bottom of the list.

What has he said about Arcade Fire?

He sure does a lot of yapping about other bands and how crap they are yet wasn't he the one who released one of the most embarrassingly bad albums ever made? LOL!

I honestly can't stand Arcade Fire. Overrated band.

I love the first Arcade Fire album, it's like Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band would sound if they were characters in Twin Peaks. After that, though, not so much.

I agree with Blixa, the first Arcade Fire album is absolutely epic

If you're referring to I Killed The Zeitgeist, I'd tread carefully with Deets and Cricri around

Wayne Coyne slagged off Arcade Fire once. I mean, it's easy to piss Nicky off, but if you can get the nicest man in alternative rock to badmouth you you must be doing something badly wrong.

In 2001 he said something like "I like The Strokes but they make me feel old" Don't think he's said anything about them since, not that I've heard anyway.
