In a world of egotistically monsters, anybody who hadn’t figured that Win Butler wasn’t a complete asshole has either
1. Not read rock nyc
or
2. Hasn’t been paying attention.
We left laughed ourelves sick over the completely pathetic NYT rehabiliation “we are family” interview last year and wrote so.
So it is nice to be vindicated AGAIN!!
Here is the bloke, documentarian Vincent Moon, who followed AF on tour for his movie “Miroir Noir”, on the band:
“They’re not good people, that’s it. And I don’t mean the whole band – I mean the leaders of the band and their management. What I hate about the band now is that people call them an indie band and they’re not an indie band, they are a mainstream band. Maybe they’re on an indie label but that doesn’t mean anything. Those guys are just making things on a very big level, a very mainstream way of thinking.The way they deal with their business is really disgusting for me. The way they deal with things is awful. Their management are awful, awful people, and I know what I’m talking about. I have some really terrible stories with them.”
Which just goes to show how you can’t hide your true character from everybody always.
From now on when I, Iman Lababedi, tell you something, shut up and listen.
