This will be my last post here because I am apparently upsetting too many people here. I will say my peace and move on. I thought we were allowed to express our acclaim and criticism of the band but apparently that is not the case. Maybe I went overboard but so did most of you. I did not attack anyone personally except that person from Boston because NY and BOS have a little rivalry if you didnt know. Anyway here it is...

 

I didnt realize Coldplay fans were so yellow. Get it...Yellow? LOL! Actually I am still a Coldplay fan but B-VLV (Before VLV) so I guess I'm part Yellow too. Seriously everyone needs a chill pill. I am not getting upset here...you guys are. I'm entitled to my opinion so if I want to bash the band for creating music I think is shit than thats my right. For ignorant people like you who do not want me to bash your beloved band....just deal with it. The funny thing about all this is that all you are getting all bent out of shape and Im not. Being defensive is not a good sign. Seems like a lot of people are going overboard in saying good things about the songs. Things likethis is the best song ever or best Coldplay song ever! Gimme a break. What if there is a better song on the album. Will that be the best song ever ever? LOL! Or maybe best song in the history of music or the universe? You have to right to say you love the music and I have the right to say I hate it...end of story. By bashing myself and others you have created a forum that will only have positive posts so you are not getting both sides of the story. Do you think anyone will post any criticism of the band after reading some replies I have received? Dont think so.

 

I have supported the band throughout the years by buying their CDs and DVDs and watching, listening, and sharing their music with as many people as possible. So for someone like me to feel like this then you so-called Coldplay fans should take notice. Plus its not only myself that feels this way, I am just more outspoken about it. Trust me I have shared this new music with some of my friends and they thought it was a joke. I stated right after X&Y that the band was headed in the wrong direction and I was right. I am just trying to understand why it is so easy for fans to embrace music that sounds nothing like the band they were fans of. If another band that you never heard of released this album I guarantee nobody would pay any attention to it. Anyway good luck everyone!

bye

Later!

not sure what you did but ok. no offense you guys but i couldn't care less what other people think of coldplay lol......maybe that's why I feel so "not in on the downlow" round here :uneasy:......I feel like a wallflower...humm.

good riddance.

...bye? :confused:

Aww. Give COLDPLAY a chance! :( Ah well. Adios amigo whom I've never known. It's a shame it had to end that way. (Even though I haven't really read a lot of your bashful posts... I just felt like posting).

don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out

Goodbye! ;)

"Posts: 67"

 

You're allowed to make such a big dramatic exit after only 67 posts?

 

Heh, no offense but I just can't stand it when people talk about leaving a forum like it's the end of the world. You'll be alright. And so will we, I'm sure.

 

EDIT: Did you have to go and name it "The End", though? And post it in the Coldplay section?

Please don't go :bigcry:

...finally!

The problem isnt that your opinion contrasts with everyone else, its that you can't debate without being overtly and annoyingly dramatic and just come across as a silly kid who doesn't like the fact the band are changing. Nobody wants you to leave though, just think before you post.

 

:)

^ change is good ...

:lock:

Coldplay are an established band and like any band, they want to evolve and I'd like to think as fans, we should encourage change. You are a fan of Coldplay for many reasons, one being when you first heard them, they were different, caught your ear and all that, this is what they are doing to a new generation of fans. We being the long-timers here should expect that, want that. Goodness knows I adore heaps of their old classic tracks, but I wouldn't want to hear the same things over and over. Worse thing that could happen is for fans to get bored of the band.

 

You may guarantee that ^ based on what I don't know, but I guarantee if they released an album that sounded like their previous albums, we'd all be calling for change. Can't please everyone as Chris said himself, so go with the flow and enjoy the ride - change is constant like all things, and that's here to stay, unlike you apparently which is unfortunate.

 

Cheer up and we'll all take a chill pill :cool:

Curious, if Coldplay released A Rush of blood to the head again or an album so similar to it that was indistiguishable from it, except less good, because CP had ran out of ideas of songs of that nature, would you be satisfied?

ALLELUYA!!!!!:) I DONT KNOW WHAT IS THE BETTER NEWS TODAY THIS OR THE DATES FOR THE CONCERTS.one thing is that you dont like the new style but you were annoying people and making fan of its good to see that youre leaving douchebag.

What? Don't leave. Of course you're free to express your opinion, negative or otherwise. People might disagree with it because they disagree with you or are maybe protective of Coldplay, but we have always been a site that welcomes everyone and would never stifle someone.

 

Please rethink your choice, especially since you haven't even heard the album yet...maybe it will be more oldschool Coldplay, who knows?

 

:)

It's too bad that you feel like you have to leave. :S Wish you wouldn't!

"...don't go away say what you say

But say that you'll stay

Forever and a day...in the time of my life

Cos I need more time yes I need more time

Just to make things right ..." ;)

So far, Viva La Vida has blown me away.

 

 

Life in Technicolor literally makes me shiver.

 

 

I would never bash you. Opinions are opinions and ESPECIALLY in music, they can sometimes contrast VERY starkly.

 

I HATE rap music. see? pretty brutal eh? lol.

 

I'll just never guys how someone who is a big enough fan of Coldplay to come to this site and post can say that their new music is 'shit'.

 

I love it. and I LOVED X&Y. In fact, I think I liked X&Y more than Parachutes. AHH! BLASPHEMY, right? wrong.

 

Because X&Y is SOOOO different from Viva La Vida. But I cant get enough of this new stuff. And I am THIRSTING for more.

 

......I just...I dont know...I quess I just dont get it. I can't see how you don't like this new stuff. But it's opinion.

 

Im not going to be a fruitcake and say 'BYE!'.....stick around. I am more than completely sure that you'll see how Coldplay have become BETTER than they ever were. Then you wont have to make a dramatic re-enterance.

 

ya know?

 

Viva Coldplay.

Why the long drawn out diatribe? Just leave. Its just a forum - there are millions of forums on the internets - thanks to Al Gore of course. I have been coming here for about a year and just recently decided to post because of all the excitement about the new album. When the excitement draws down I dont plan on having an exit interview.

 

You're just looking for attention and now you have it.

 

Satisfied? Good...now move along.

I read the first line of your epilogue then stopped caring..

 

go back into the dark pit from whence you came!

go back into the dark pit from whence you came!

 

Arrested Development? Gob? If so, I love you.

 

Shouldn't this thread be moved to a section people don't care about?
