„I get really tired of their pompousness … We’ve played some shows with them and they really treat people like shit. 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 thought, ‚Who do they think they are?‘ I don’t know why people put up with it. I wouldn’t put up with it. 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.‘
(…)
They have good tunes, but they’re pricks, so fuck ‚em. Who does Arcade Fire think they are? (…) Anyone can be polite and kind and people who have the privilege and money and attention should understand that. If they don’t, then fuck ‚em.“
