Ariel Pink Throws Onstage Tantrum at Coachella 2011

Known for having an unpredictable live show, the Los Angeles frontman for Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti seemed particularly haunted during his performance at the Gobi tent in the scorching Friday afternoon heat. After a heated interaction with the soundman, apparently due to microphone issues, Pink appeared hell bent on ruining his own show, causing feedback with his microphone, dancing to his band's music but refusing to sing.
When the majority of the crowd refused to leave, transfixed by his antics, the temperamental singer grew even further enraged, and stormed off the stage, offering a halfway apology to his dismayed fans, "I'm sorry," he said. "I know you hate me now."
Though his band attempted to salvage the set by returning Pink to the stage, he remained upset, pouting with his back to the crowd and picking his thumb nervously, though he finally gave in and sang a bit on the final songs 'L'estat (According to the Widow's Maid)' and his 2010 gem 'Round and Round.'
Though most fans appeared perplexed and shocked by his meltdown, some found the tantrum amusing, considering it a form of musical entertainment from a misunderstood genius.

Ariel Pink is ******* awesome. I would be ******* pissed too if I didn't enjoy my own music. I respect this man. He is an artist. And a good artist is a good thief.

The guys that Ariel Pink collaborated with in VDO on his Added Pizzazz and ***** and Giggles albums (and first song on Before Today) have started releasing amazing LP's in 100 copy editions. I have doubts that their new one will still even be around since it's been out for a week and they go fast, but if you're really curious about why Ariel spent so much time working with these guys, these albums offer a lot of hints.

Some real idiots on here, who know nothing about music. Typical fools who are dominated by "safe" rock radio, which is all crap anyway, and wouldn't know a good song even if it rose up and bit 'em on the ass. So what if he had a disagreement with the soundman? At least he's honest about getting pissed off . Ariel Pink has more talent in his little finger than that overrated piece of trash that idiots look up to, namely Axl Rose. So go on now and read your Rolling Stone magazines and keep it safe y'all in your little minds. Good man Ariel , more power to ya.
