In this week's installment of our new bi-weekly feature "We Told You So: The 2014 Fall of Wayne Coyne," we're going to take a look at what exactly we think is wrong with the Lips' frontman. But before we get to that, let's recap the continued fallout between Wayne and his former drummer, Kliph Scurlock.
A few weeks ago, Kliph posted something manic to Facebook where he detailed his firing from the band, and in the process, outed Wayne Coyne as a short-tempered, abusive asshole. The rant was picked up by the popular indie music site, Pitchfork, which published an article titled "Kliph Scurlock Accuses Wayne Coyne of Racism and Abuse in Detailed Account of Firing From Flaming Lips." Obviously, that story hit every other music website, blog, zine, whatever out there, and although he'd never admit it, Wayne Coyne had a little crisis on his hands. Just like his band's music, he went from being revered and loved to being questioned and criticized from his loyal fan base.
