I'm going to see a Coldplay concert in September...have any of you seen them in concert? I think it will be a good concert, even though I would have gone to a Rolling Stones conert instead if I found tickets... |

all i know is at this stage they haven't given the tour an official name so i got some.... "Insomnia Cure On The Road 2005" "Music To Slash Your Wrists Tour" "We're More Important Than the Beatles, But Less Interesting" |

Piss off Brenski, and get some knowledge before you post. It's called the Twisted Logic tour. I'm seeing them at Glasto on the 25th then Crystal Palace on the 28th of this month. Will be fantastic I know. |

Read another thread in this very forum, it's called thread hijacking by idiots who have nothing to say on the subject in conversation. Then shut up, please. |

I watched their Storytellers last night and quite enjoyed it... :^) Hope all those that are seeing them have fun! |
| deleted user 09.06.2005 20:53 |
Oh, and sheesh, Brenski. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean they aren't good or that other people shouldn't be able to enjoy their music. |

I saw them once in concert. And honestly the people around us were so obnoxious--screaming, throwing glasses of beer around, etc, that I have no idea how good or bad the show was. I just wanted to get the hell out! |
| wstüssyb 10.06.2005 08:42 |
Janet...you seen them? oh my =) |
| Janet 10.06.2005 08:49 |
Yes William, I did ;-) |

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. |

Chris Martin wants to be Bono soooooooooooooooo bad, that he had managed to copy the sounds and style of U2, and pawn it off as something original. Give me a break...... |
| Erin 10.06.2005 11:14 |
Granted I haven't listened to a whole CD of theirs, but all the Coldplay stuff I have heard sounds alike. |

Then shut up, please.no. i'm as entitled to my opinion as you are. and my opinion is they are boring it doesn't make my opinion any more or less valid than yours - just different you should respect MY RIGHT to hate boring bands, as i fully respect your right to be fond of barbituates substitutes ;-) |

Then shut up, please.i have a coldplay album - parachutes - and i don't play it any longer as it bores me - much like travis and one other thing....do the maths 5 people in this very thread say they negative things about coldplay 3 say positive things and 1 abstains work it out...i think THAT makes my opinion valid enough, so don't call me an idiot- |
| _amadeus_ 10.06.2005 13:23 |
Coldplay is good! :D Add another positive thing :) |
| FairyQueen 10.06.2005 16:19 |
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. |

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! |

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. |

"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! |
| iGSM 12.06.2005 09:48 |
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? |
