I know I'll probably upset a lot of people on this forum, but I absolutely loathe and detest Coldplay.

 

Their popularity baffles me. I did quite like their debut 'Parachutes' although I always hated Yellow, I thought it was such a clumsy song with clumsy lyrics. A Rush of Blood to the Head had some good tracks I'll admit but X and Y and Viva La Vida are dreadful.

 

Reasons I hate Coldplay:

 

1/ Chris Martin has the most irritating, weedy voice. His falsetto on songs like Yellow and Fix You is nauseating.

 

2/ Chris Martin is not a particularly good musician. The rest of his band are average musicians, nothing special.

I have seen Chris make numerous fluffs live.

 

3/ Chris Martin is the most irritating frontman. In between songs he does these irritating monologues, who does he think he is, Bono?

 

4/ The do pointless cover versions live.

 

5/ They are plagiarists. There's obviously the accusation by Joe Satriani over Viva La Vida and also an obscure New York band whose name I forget. No smoke without fire I say. Have you heard their song, Life in Technicolor? The riff is a complete rip-off of All Apologies by Nirvana.

 

6/ They are so bland. Even their name is dull.

 

7/ Their stupid costumes they are wearing at the moment. They look like a poor man's version of Adam and the Ants.

 

8/ There are much better 'Coldplay-type bands' out there. eg Snow Patrol, Travis, Doves, Elbow. Actually Elbow are in a different league.

 

9/ They take themselves way too seriously. Get a sense of humour guys.

 

10/ Have I made my point? Surely no-one can defend 'Fix You'

 

Um, no.

^well said.

oh, that joe. :rolleyes:

^ ha exactly crests

and ^^ definitely well said :angry:

i hate people like that

yeah, and then he goes and acts like it never happened :whip:

Wow, this is the lamest thing I've seen on this site. Some guy joins a Coldplay site, only to dis the band? LOL!

I know :lol:

 

It's like he lost a bet :P

I don't get it. Why's he hating on Chris when his favorite band member is Chris...

Love his voice. Could listen to interviews with him for hours. I enjoy his songs.

 

2/ Chris Martin is not a particularly good musician. The rest of his band are average musicians, nothing special.

He is a good musician. No one can do flawless performances 100% of the time

 

3/ Chris Martin is the most irritating frontman. In between songs he does these irritating monologues, who does he think he is, Bono?

 

I like it. He's trying to make a connection to the audience and not just saying "Hey, you sit there for 3 hours while I do my thing"

 

4/ The do pointless cover versions live.

 

It's nice, surprising, and adds a neat little break to the coldplay songs

 

5/ They are plagiarists. There's obviously the accusation by Joe Satriani over Viva La Vida and also an obscure New York band whose name I forget. No smoke without fire I say. Have you heard their song, Life in Technicolor? The riff is a complete rip-off of All Apologies by Nirvana.

 

I don't believe they are. Nothing more to say on this topic.

 

6/ They are so bland. Even their name is dull.

 

Opinion

 

7/ Their stupid costumes they are wearing at the moment. They look like a poor man's version of Adam and the Ants.

 

Also opinion. I love their outfits.

 

8/ There are much better 'Coldplay-type bands' out there. eg Snow Patrol, Travis, Doves, Elbow. Actually Elbow are in a different league.

 

More opinions

 

9/ They take themselves way too seriously. Get a sense of humour guys.

 

They're funny guys. They never take themselves seriously and Chris is frequently modest to the point of almost putting himself down.

 

10/ Have I made my point? Surely no-one can defend 'Fix You'

 

You haven't made your point. You can't make your point about issues you discussed. It's all based on someones opinion. I like all of the things you mentioned that you hated. Theres nothing more to be said and you can't PROVE to me that I really don't like the things that I do, and I can't convince you that you should like it.

 

To quote wikipedia:

 

"An opinion is a belief that may or may not be backed up with evidence, but which cannot be proved with that evidence. It is normally a subjective statement and may be the result of an emotion or an interpretation of facts; people may draw opposing opinions from the same facts."

haha nice one Maj2004 :lol:

you told him :D

Maybe he's Chris and he wants to test our devotion...:thinking:

 

If he really hates Coldplay this would be his worst nightmare...:lol:

LETS WHIP HIM!!!!!!!!!! :whip:

lol i think i would die if it was chris! :P

knowing him he would though :lol:

 

 

-:thinking:

Can you imagine?!:stunned::lol:

:lol:

:stunned:

:rolleyes: yes... yes i can :lol:

^How funny if he did...CHRIS I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some people really don't have a life... :dozey:

Well I wasn't going to get involved in this but there's so many massive flaws in what you've said, namely the fact that you've seen them live numerous times. Why have you seen them live so many times if you don't like them? are you like bi-polar or something?

Clearly you haven't seen Christmas 2006, Jonny goes Jazz, Shrimp and Aubergine, Twiglet, and numerous other videos and songs that show their incredible sense of humour, which is a million times better than yours. And the best thing about them is that they have lives, rather than attempting (and I use the term loosely) to insult a band they don't like to millions of people who love them.

And yes we can defend Fix You, and right now I'd like to 'fix you':freak::smash:

:escaping:

 

I don't get it. Why's he hating on Chris when his favorite band member is Chris...

Rofl :lol: I'm seriously considering bi-polar.

This guy probably doesnt even hate coldplay he's just trying to get everyone worked up. But this is what Chris would do if he seen this guy:

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiydTEbGRz4]YouTube - Chris Martin Attacks Paparazzi at The Mount Sinai Hospital, NYC - (14-Jan-08)[/ame]

Wow... I don't like to see Chris acting like that...

 

But I understand why he's pissed off, those stupid paps always stalking him :\

And I think that he's not that violent, he doesn't punch him or anything :shrug:

 

Anyway... nothing to add about the idiot who started that thread, get a life ;)

YouTube - Chris Martin Attacks Paparazzi at The Mount Sinai Hospital, NYC - (14-Jan-08)

 

All I see is 'LOVE" written all over the video...:heart:

 

Anyway, when you've decided to hate something, you don't really need to find reasons to do it..You just do :dozey:
