:o

so many reviews

I think that was the best performance of Yellow ive seen them do!!It was awesome!!

yellow was soooooo good!! i almost stopped watching after lost! because i figured they wouldnt play another but instead i went into my bed and watched the end of the show there and i was soooo happy i decided to turn it back on. that was one of the best i've heard it. and i'm so frigging excited that he yelled BARACK OBAMA at the end. i just started laughing after he did it. that show sucked but coldplay was AWESOME.

disgusting. seriously. that was horrendous. i pray that they don't perform like that on this tour...i surely haven't paid as much as i have to see that...? i have no words. :(

i thought they sounded really good.Chris didnt seem to be struggling like he sometimes does

^ that was at the yahoo thing

:thinking: What didn't you like about their performance?

this whole 'too much movement = great performance!' idea they've got going on. no. if anything it just subtracts. they don't sound spot on musically, and chris sounds out of breath and it just makes everything so shitty, not to mention destroying yellow with the weird bird-whistling(?) thing.

he seemed really hyper and energized on SNL. and is that yahoo thing avaible yet to watch??

lost sounded fantastic, especially at the second verse. i'm so happy chris plays the piano with the song, as he should do.

You say that like it's a new thing. They've always performed like that :thinking:

 

And the mix was all wrong on Yellow, which is why Guy's bass was so loud.

no its not a new thing, but it didn't used to be too much, as it is now. the mix has nothing to do with it.

They've airbrushed his face into a weird shape :uhoh:

 

I did a podcast a few weeks ago at my day job with a friend and one of the first things he said was, “You’ve got a lot of hate for Coldplay and I still don’t understand why.” I haven’t been able to articulate it, aside from a general idea that they write super boring music. Last night while watching them on SNL I realized a few points:

 

1) I hate that at some point over the last two albums they all started dressing like extras from a Broadway performance of Les Miserables. Is this some sort of political commentary? Probably? The arm bands are way worse than the previous Chris Martin taping of the fingers for OxFam or whatever.

 

2) While we’re discussing Chris Martin, let’s discuss that he writes some of the worst, most non-sensical lyrics I’ve ever heard.

 

3) The grandiose jumping off the stage, running around like a crazy front-man, weird percussion, “expansive” sound - they basically just want to be U2. They’re not trying to develop an arena rock sound on their own terms, they’re not in control of the stage and they’re not in any way original. Even if they did work with Brian Eno on the new record, doesn’t that really just mean they’re co-opting his ideas? Judging solely by their previous 3 records I would say yes.

 

Since NBC don’t upload musical performances from SNL, I’m embedding for you Coldplay’s equally boring performance from this summer’s MTV Movie Awards. Judge for yourself.
