Wayne earned money in high school as a fry cook for Long John Silver's. During his second year of employment, there was a rash of robberies in Oklahoma City. During his work, the restaurant was robbed. Wayne and other employees were held at gunpoint and forced to lie on the ground. Wayne was certain he was going to die. Although the assistant manager couldn't open the safe, the robbers eventually fled. Wayne believes "this is really how you die...one minute you're just cooking up someone's order of french fries and the next minute you're laying on the floor and they blow your brains out. There's no music, there's no significance, it's just random."
At age fifteen, Coyne purchased his first guitar.
