August 16, 200916 yr Why? They used to be rock, now they're pop. They use to be endearingly self-depricating, now it just seems insincere. Chris used to hang out with Tim from Ash, now it's Jay-Z. Guy used to be a raging alcohol diva, now he just takes photos. It used to go "I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war, if you can tell me something worth fighting for", now it goes "those who are dead are not dead, they're just living in my head." They used to wear pants and a t-shirt, now they wear costumes. Jonny used to have his amazing slide solos, now he gets nothing. Chris used to idolize Radiohead, now he idolizes Beyonce. Chris used to be able to hit all the notes, now he just dances. Add on to the list you guys.

August 16, 200916 yr Guy used to be a raging alcohol diva, now he just takes photos. I liked that one. :laugh3: And I kind of agree with you on the last one. Or should I say when he tries to hit high notes. :uhoh:
August 16, 200916 yr Author Guy used to be a raging alcohol diva, now he just takes photos. I liked that one. :laugh3: And I kind of agree with you on the last one. Or should I say when he tries to hit high notes. :uhoh: I actually feel guilty about the last one. Cause he's just getting old.
August 16, 200916 yr They used to have loyal fans, now their fans make Coldplay-bashing threads on their fansite. add that to your list.
August 16, 200916 yr well to me when i look back on their old stuff they were just that college band that was getting big and now their at parties and hanging with celebs. what i just said did that make sense or did u already write that?
August 16, 200916 yr Author well to me when i look back on their old stuff they were just that college band that was getting big and now their at parties and hanging with celebs. what i just said did that make sense or did u already write that? Tim from Ash is a celebrity. I approve of that relationship.
August 16, 200916 yr Chris Martin used to be a warewolf, but he's alright noooooooooooooooooowwwwwww :P
August 16, 200916 yr They used to have loyal fans, now their fans make Coldplay-bashing threads on their fansite. add that to your list. Fan loyalty? We're not going to drink their kool-aid and love everything they do no matter what just because it's Coldplay. It's just constructive criticism.
August 16, 200916 yr Tell that to his growing forehead. My brother is 20 and has less hair, my grandad is 80 and has more. Anyway, sorry, besides the point
August 16, 200916 yr Fan loyalty? We're not going to drink their kool-aid and love everything they do no matter what just because it's Coldplay. It's just constructive criticism. It was a joke Josh.
August 16, 200916 yr I think we just got REALLY bored of this whole VLV era. No need to bash them like that IMO!
August 16, 200916 yr Author My brother is 20 and has less hair, my grandad is 80 and has more. Anyway, sorry, besides the point Haha. Yeah, I was just kidding.
August 16, 200916 yr awww snap fitz :hippy: good one! but why are you being so harsh? they changed for the better in some of those things Guy cant be an alcoholic for ever :blank: it's not healthy at all. plus people grow up and realize they have priorities, like a child, wife, family for that matter. if he didn't stop drinking to get drunk by now, i probably would have called him immature and not liked Coldplay anymore for my own personal views on drinking and past. and chris can hit the high notes, you do realize that they've been on tour for like ever. it tends to take a toll on people after a while? :dozey: i think they're doing a great job :thumbsup:
August 16, 200916 yr I think we just got REALLY bored of this whole VLV era. I haven't. I just accept that they are who they are. If I want different music, I listen to different bands. If I want to listen to Coldplay, I listen to Coldplay. I don't get why more people don't try that instead of complaining all the time and wishing Coldplay would be something they're not.
August 16, 200916 yr It's just constructive criticism. After all, it's opinion. :D ;) Expanding into other genres is one of the hardest things to do. I hear a track from Parachutes - it's written Coldplay all over it. I hear a track from Viva La Vida - it's written Coldplay all over it. In my opinion, there's nothing to critize, as after all we still listen to the same band. They do sound different, yea, that's great. I don't want to listen to a band that makes the same music over and over again. This could be done by many people, but to sound different and still have a little thing (may it be the kind of playing the guitar, etc) that makes a track automatically connected to the band. This isn't possible by many people.
