Be careful about putting the word "rejects" in your rock band; people might take the name seriously.

 

That's especially true if you give an interview that includes joking about women having no "sense of rationality and direction." That's how singer Tyson Ritter of the band All-American Rejects characterizes how he thinks "like a woman" while writing songs.

 

In addition, the band seems to have disdain for the music of Coldplay, about whom Ritter says: "it's the same beat on every song with that band."

 

The discourse reaches a high/low mark when Ritter asks bandmate Chris Gaylor:

 

"You know why you're gay?"

 

"You like Coldplay," responds the drummer.

 

The band is touring the UK in the wake of the success of their single, "Dirty Little Secret," which uses material from the popular website Postsecret.com, where real people send in confessions on decorated postcards.

 

It's too soon to tell what the fanbase for All-American Rejects will eventually be, but they may have an uphill battle wooing women. Or Coldplay fans.

i dont get it. do they like coldplay?? or not?? that doesnt make sense to me!! argh.............lol xx

Great move Mr. Ritter, seeing as your fan base is comprised mostly of women. I don't think you'll be selling out any shows in the UK anytime soon. Wait a second.. AAR sell out show.. What was I thinking? Never gonna happen.

 

"In addition, the band seems to have disdain for the music of Coldplay, about whom Ritter says: it's the same beat on every song with that band."

 

Pot. Kettle. Black.

Um... The All-American Rejects... critisizing another band... for having the same beats.

 

Yeah... they're totally justified in saying that since NONE of their songs sound EXACTLY THE SAME.

Too bad, I kind of liked AAR. Honestly, though, they've kind of sucked a little since the new stuff came out...

zomg gay cuz u like coldplay. dam those guys r original lolz!!! watch out jay leno.

all american rejects are a catchy band but they have nothing on coldplay

^yup.

But what a pathetic way to get attention.

the infamous line... "you know how i know your gay... cause u like coldplay". got that one alot at school lol. i know take it as a compliment becasue coldplay was mentioned in a movie at all. out of context but i love how sparks is in wedding crashers.
