Cold play are a bag of shite … They burst on the scene with an outstanding album in Parachutes and declined up their own holes for 20 years… Chris Martin trying to be the next Bono… FOAD. They are a poor man’s Elbow who they tried to be for years but Martin is too much of a ego maniac and plastered us with cheese and shitty pop songs instead.
Coldplay are for the simple, unimaginative, easily swayed type that will hop on any bandwagon… While that all has a place too, fuck right off with your tripe trying to justify that you were at a Coldplay concert. They are the musical choice of a dullard.
Agreed, except Parachutes is complete shite as well. Any outstanding album ages well, and it has aged as well as one of @backinatracksuit’s steaks from the just gone off section. Put it on there for a listen, I guarantee you won’t get far into it.
Anyone liking Coldplay today is either a woman or an effeminate man.
Christ, going back 7 years to make a point, this place has so many weirdos.
Are you hoping Bono and Liam lock lips ala Bono and Adam, and you’ll be there to experience it? Wonderful for you if so.
Coldplay are shit.
A random selection of excellent to sublime albums from 2000: Kid A, Exterminator, Agaetis Byrjun, Stories from the City Stories from the Sea, The Marshall Mathers LP, Lift Your Skinny Fists, And then nothing turned itself inside out, The Moon and Antartica, Lost Souls, The Sophtware Slump, Heartbreaker, Stankonia.
I work with a Polish lady who was a keyboardist in a death metal band in Iceland for 3 years - she learned English in Iceland so has a lovely Icelandic lilt when she speaks and has a lovely way of describing Coldpaly - Fucking pussies.
As I said above, Twas grand but not anything special. Coldplay have plenty of anthems to sing along to & more than their share of hits. But, would I have payed for that ticket and gone to Dublin to see them otherwise? Fuck no.
