spindles72 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 A bit about me 1st of all. Massive Coldplay fan. Only seen them Live 3 times, twice in 2005 at Bolton and Newcastle and more recently in Sheffield December 08. Love the band, the music and especially the live act. Already have my tickets booked for Wembley 2009 for me and my eldest daughter who is also a masive fan. I go to loads of gigs, maybe 25 or so this year. I have to say my top 3 gigs this year are The Hives who we watched at rock city, Nottingham, Coldplay and KOL both at Sheffield arena. All three on a par for me. My favourite performer though is Prince. Since 87 I have watched prince live in the region of 40 times. I took in 5 gigs at the O2 in London 2007 during his 21 night residency there. 3 main shows and 2 aftershows as well.. My question is this.. Every time Coldplay are mentioned over at Housequake (prince forum similar to Coldplaying) it turns into a mass rant about how crap Coldplay are. I always fight the corner but there are very few Prince fans over at Housequake who like or even tolerate Coldplay so I was interested to know how well Prince would go down at the Coldplay forum.. I'm looking forward to the responses and am very interested how this thread will go down.. Best wishes to all of you.. Mark:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recycled Revenge Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Welcome! :) 3 times eh? Being in britain certainly must have it's advantages. I've been a fan since 2000 and have only been able to see them once. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck kottke Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Well heck, I used to listen to Prince all the time when I was 18!! Prince has some of the most beautiful, interesting music ever performed in his repertoire, and I would have to say there is a resemblance of musical styles between the two bands/artists. I think that your interest in both is great!! Perhaps the love of experimental, interesting styles of music is where you're at? Anyhow, welcome to the board, Mark!!:sunny::artist: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cascading Waterfall Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Hi Mark. It's great to see another Coldplay fan here. I don't like Prince, but I wouldn't criticise anyone who do like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc_squared Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I've never been a big Prince fan, but liked some of his early stuff and respect him as a talented musician and performer.;) He did go off the rails for a while when he started calling himself as his "symbol", though......................... :dozey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
