Not only do the Flaming Lips suck now but their hardcore fans are even worse. Clueless dolts. They have become a gimmick. The sing-a-longs are extremely cheesy. Set lists are basically the same every night & they dont play much of if any of their older material. Dark Side “remake” is an embarrassing abomination. Wayne used to be interesting but he has now become an old & tiresome act. Are those dancers on stage or cheerleaders? Lame lame LAME! The Lips are nothing more than a pathetic circus act feeding on the souls of the cultureless.

Wayne coyne is an egotistical prick. I saw the lips in boston and all he did was talk about himself more than play music. First and last show… I am a big fan of the studio albums but they were shitty live because he slowed them way down,,, and i agree, he acted as though everyone there had been following him on tour, like he was some god… pompous prick

While Yoshimi is one of the great cds of all time, I refuse to spend money on their live show. I come because I want to hear well-played MUSIC, not talking and confetti bullshit. After seeing clips of some of their performances on youtube (or was it a dvd?), and reading several reliable reports, I have decided to stay away from their live act…. thanks, but no thanks

I think I talked to you about this. I really think that Wayne Coyne is very annoying on stage. Sometimes I wish he would just shut up and play music!

I was so pissed at Echo Project Fall 07 (amazing festival in GA). My buddies wanted to kill me. I had listened to the FL for a long time and heard some big talk about their live performances but had never seen them. Claypool was playing the most killer, creepiest set…it was a one off group called The Fancy Trio, with just Claypool, Skeric, and Dillon. If you ever come across this set, download it and listen to it on a full moon, it will send chills down your back. It was DARK.

Anyway, FL and Claypool weren’t supposed to overlap but before claypool ended you saw the — lights/balloons/confetti– going nuts on the main stage. Convinced my friends to leave (claypool killed it for another 20 minutes). We get down to FL, it’s packed, and Wayne has lost his voice, can’t sing for shit. And he also bantered on and on and on and on and on because it was the last show of their tour and he was all sentimental. Needless to say, I don’t think my friends have forgiven me for that….Wayne was awful, he talked so much like everyone there had followed them on tour. Also bassnectar’s subliminal messaging banter “We should kill dick cheney because dick cheney is a murderer” in between beats, was also completely uncalled for. He is the WORST.
