Prospekt. Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

MrsMartin333 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Niguez Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
