Coldplay in concert

Coldplay is good! :D

Add another positive thing :)

I guess I like the simplicity of their songs and I think they would be interesting in concert, which is why I planned to see them...I think they sound different than U2, but that's just me...every band sounds like a reincaranation of something else...one band was inspired by another...each band is a combination of inspirations..but Coldplay's new album is surprisingly better than their previous realeses..which surprised me...it shows that simplcity in lyrics is sometimes a good thing...it kind of adds innocence to the music..but that's just me...

The only problem with the blatant second-rate U2 impersonation is that it sucks...

The only positive thing Chris Martin has ever done was to knock up Gwenyth, besides that, he can take his whining and melancholy elsewhere.

Haystacks, if you don't like Coldplay, that's fine. Just allow those of us to do to enjoy it; if you can't do anything better than to criticise then don't say anything at all!

you're living on planet zog mate

that's the whole point of opinions
if i say i like bananafuckingrama and someone says they're crap - that's fine - that's their opinion
we all have o accept that everyone thinks differently
you liking coldplay doesn't make you right
and me hating them doesn't make me right either (although i guess i'm a bit close to sanity than you ;-) 0 it just means that they work for some and they don't for others

i've started getting back into UFO, sammy hagar, montrose and a few other older rock bands lately after digging the stuff out of the loft
it doesn't mean there's no room in my life for new stuff - just not coldplay, travis, morrissey and other "slash your wrists" rock - rather staple skin-eating-giant ants to my eyelids

Opinions mean nothing when they consist of "That Band Sucks." Doesn't matter if it's Coldplay, U2, or The Darkness, if you spend more time coming up with a witty insult than with actual criticism, then your opinion is worthless.

I like what I've heard of Coldplay, though I do think some of it sounds the same. I don't get the "second-rate U2" jab since I don't think they sound much like U2 at all. I definetly want to hear more of the band before I rush out to buy X & Y.

Exactly, which is what Haystacks was doing...

"There are some bands that are kinda interesting to listen on the radio but are just damn boring live.

R.E.M., Fleetwood Mac, and Coldplay are some of them."

- we will have to agree to differ then! I havent seen Coldplay live but I have seen Fleetwood Mac and REM live, and they were two of the best gigs ever. It baffles me how anyone could think they were boring!

I don't much like Coldplay. I think that all their songs sound the similar.

And yes, I did chuckle at Brenski's tour names. That doesn't mean I hate them..

Does it?
