Well, I am fed up with these comparisons..hehe

 

No one can say that coldplay is not a great band..but Keane is also a great Band!

I believe that Chris Martin (Coldplays Lead Vocal) and Tim Rice Oxley (Keane's Pianist) were friends at the University, and its said somewhere that Tim Were told to join Coldplay, Before he and Dominic Form Keane!

 

So the two Bands have grown together..and there is no one of them better than the other..However I am a keane Fan..and I like Keane More!

 

I also saw in The Strangers DVD, that Keane, and Coldplay before they became Polpular, they used to play in small gigs ( i donno the name sorry) together.

They just have in comman the British rock, but I think after you listen to (Under the Iron sea) Keanes new Album you will know that Every band has its own Direction!

 

Between, they both of them use The Piano, but I don't think that the piano is the Focus in Coldplay!!

 

Thanks :)

Anyway, it's an incredible album...

 

for Flying Sparks....how is it 'The Feeling' album?

^ The album is fantastic, I'm actually listening to it right now :D "Twelve stops and home" is simply an album that makes you feel happy and alive.. It has some slow, wonderful ballads on it as well, but most of the songs are just happy and a celebration of life! You should check some of their songs out and see if you like it (http://www.myspace.com/thefeeling) - if you do, go and buy the album, I'd definitely recommend it :)

comparisons are a way of making bands feel as though they have reached a certain level, or a certain sound that has already been done. most bands although most times feel very happy to be compared to huge bands, it can also get sickening.

 

keane is an awsome band, and im sure the coldplay comparison flatters them, but i guess they do get bothered when they are being compared as tough they copied a sound.(coldplay vrs u2)

 

i like both, coldplay is an inspiration for them, so they sound similar. but they are very different. :)

What can they say if they copy every single band they see?? :furious:

Wot???coldplay is not an Inspiration for Keane!!!Iam not sayin that coldplay in not great, but I am sorry, Keane and Coldplay cameout together at the same time!!!!

^ Yeah, I just read an interview with Tim saying that Coldplay has never been an inspiration for them!

they have never been a Direct Inspiration for keane!

sorry... but keane gets boring really fast. hopes and fears is a major grind to listen to all the way through (even though bedshaped is at the end)

fully behind coldplay

i can totally see where they are coming from... it must be a pain to constantly be under the shadow of another band/artist.

Especially when they don't even sound alike

i think keane sound more like embrace myself. and look like them more too.............:rolleyes:

Yep NEVER ! Not quite sure where you are getting that from.
