I'm off
too see Coldplay tonight and I dont give a fuck what everyone thinks. Its FANTASTIC to be old enough to not give a shit what people think of my tastes. Its the very essence of freedom. I also dont care what people think about my dancing. I dance like my dad and I love it. Young people are shit!

So come on haters, tell me what you think of Coldplay and test my resolve.

It always seems
to sound like music to slit your wrists to, personally.

Very depressing.

hippie shite.

Never found it depressing.
I dont think Radiohead is depressing either. Always thought that people who said that, arent really music fans.

Repetitive? Really? Most music has an element of repetition.
( I have run out of coke is a little sweaty, Fri 12 Dec 2008, 15:58, Reply)

But alot of Coldplay songs
are one chord repeated for thirty seconds, then another chord for thirty seconds, and then back again. I would agree that many other bands and kinds of music can be repetitive, but other than techno, none of them are quite as boring musically as Coldplay.

I've never really liked Radiohead either, I prefer music with a little more flair and passion behind it.

they are bland
and what's worse they are hugely overhyped

they aren't a terrible band by any means, but neither are they that good, which is why they shouldn't be raved about as they have been.

Not as guilty as U2 though who haven't done anything good for a million years, are all tossers, and still get called the best band in the world.

despite being shit

I liked the first album - I even saw them live
but then they just took the popular parts of that album and remade it again and again...







EDIT: Radiohead are streets ahead of Coldplay - nothing miserable about it but then I find The Smiths utterly jubilant.

is having you at their shows.
(Bazongaloid, Fri 12 Dec 2008, 16:25, Reply)

With you there, baz
First album: Ooh, cor, shiny new, slightly different, liked it.

Then they released the same thing over and over again, and Snow Patrol came along, and now everybody with a guitar seems to like playing songs with barely more than a couple of chords in repetition.

i'm going on sunday!

@bert
as an Irishman, I humbly apologise for Snow Patrol.

Vipros, same goes for recent U2 output - appalling!

Oi! Ms Swipe.
I went to Chas & Dave through choice last year and they are brilliant.

I bet you have more fun there than at Coldplay.

Gertcha.

I thought Snow Patrol were Liverpudlian?
Are they Irish? I can't really complain about them though, 'Run' was the second thing I ever learned to play on the guitar, and my Mrs loves it.
( Bert Monkeysex is waiting for the mods to delete him, Fri 12 Dec 2008, 16:10, Reply)

But what does
she think of you're ability to play "run" on the guitar? That's what I'm really interested in
(Bazongaloid, Fri 12 Dec 2008, 16:11, Reply)

@Bert
they're Irish (northern) and Scottish.

She thinks it's shit, because frankly I am.

I'm only a beginner, but even I know that that song is quite easy to play.

Here, have the tab music for the floaty bit in the middle, play this on the third string from the bottom:

9-9-9-9-7-7-7-7-slide-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4 repeat times three

@baz Really? I wonder why I thought they were scousers?

far worse than all the bands mentioned so far
are Scouting for Girls.

they should be mutilated whilst still alive and forced to eat bits of each other.

fucking drivel.

*throws hands up in disgust*

I've seen so many unsigned bands that urinate all over bands like scouting for girls, snow patrol, coldplay and their ilk and it sickens me.

@Vipros
your music needs percussion and brass in my oh-so-fucking-humble-opinion :)

Have you got 'There's A Riot Going On' by Sly and The Family Stone in your collection?
(bazmorningstar efil4nat3b, Fri 12 Dec 2008, 16:40, Reply)

The first album was great.
I tolerated the second album for a couple of good tracks.

Then they disappeared up their own arses and their music went from being quite sublime to fetid cock-gravy.

And Chris Martin. What a smug prick.

are alright, wouldn't go out of my way to listen or not listen to them, but would not be phased if they all died in a comical but nasty way

U2 however can die of everything

I want to
come round your house, wee on your CD collection, put your ipod in the microwave, cut off your ears, stick on my ears temporarily and let you hear things like I hear them. Trust me you will never listen to snivelling whiney bland overrated shallow clap-trap like this ever again.

Obviously I might need to sedate your brain to prevent it turning to mush when you hear actual real music.

Unless you're joking about all this of course, in which case, haha! buy you a pint?
