:laugh3:mags I love your sig!

 

thank you :cheesy:

 

puss in boots is awesome

 

 

 

sorry this was quite off topic :uhoh:

 

Am I the only one who likes X&Y?

 

No ;)

I also love X&Y.

X & Y is a fantastic album :D

 

Ah, it reminds me to those times when Speed of Sound first coming out, i was playing it on piano almost nonstop all day lol, good times.

I had to listen several times "X&Y", now I like it :heart:

 

 

 

njshaw good luck and see you soon! :)

could someone explain to me the problem that people have with XY.I love the album...

X&Y fan here too!

Another one here hehe.

i love X&Y...not as good as AROBTTH but its not as bad sme ppl say it is!

Ok, bye.

 

Seriously, if you have to go into such dramatic detail of why you are suddenly deciding to give up on a band you love, the decision developed a long, long time ago. You've obviously just been forcing yourself to listen to the last couple of albums just because. You really could have saved yourself a lot of misery by just ending it back then...

 

I love X&Y too... actually just popped it in the car yesterday. I forgot how amazing 'A Message' and 'Swallowed In The Sea' are! Ah, Bliss.

...They've become a band for teenage girls to fawn over (see most of the thread titles in this section for evidence).

 

:rolleyes: Hehe, woops.

not at all!! I like it too!

 

Ditto!:cool:

I luff X&Y. Jonny rocks on X&Y!

 

As for this thread, don't think they are being a drama queen. They have been on here 5 years and has just over 200 posts. If they didn't make this thread would anyone even notice they had left? :thinking:

Well... it's happened. I can't handle listening to this band anymore. I thought if I took a few months off, I'd put them on one day and the feelings would come flooding back.. but it hasn't been the case. And I know now, that it won't be the case.

 

I was there from the beginning, when Shiver came on Rage at 2am in late 1999, i went straight out to buy Parachutes the next morning. In the following 10 years, i went on their websites daily, bought every single, downloaded every show I could find, no matter how bad the sound quality... I've seen them live 9 times, in 3 different states, met the band.. I've done it all!

 

X&Y was bad. Really bad... But every band blows out every now and then. I was willing to over look this. Things seemed to be on the right track heading into Viva, but the constant mentions of U2, and the endless comparisons to them began to wear me down. Coldplay are becoming the commercial machine that U2 already are. bringing Brian Eno on board hardly helped here. I wanted Coldplay to do their own thing... not follow in U2's footsteps .. not try to be the 'next' U2. They've become a band for teenage girls to fawn over (see most of the thread titles in this section for evidence).

 

I liked Viva, I still do.... but then I realised the outrageous amount of pre-recorded instruments and vocals used in the live shows... Chris dancing around instead of playing an instrument. Lovers in Japan, blatant pre recorded keys all the way through it. Fix You... 'tears stream down your face'.. pre recorded vocals. Viva la Vida... almost the whole song. 42... almost the whole song.

 

All this was the final straw. That was over 12 months ago now (that i saw them last) and I still never think to put them on. I've enjoyed my time supporting this band... Parachutes and Rush of Blood are part of the soundtrack to my late teens. I'm sure I'll still keep an ear out for new stuff, but it seems I've outgrown this band.

 

I know there are a few people around this forum who understand, and I know there's loads of you who won't understand at all... and will get your backs up about anything negative I've said... but that's the nature of a forum.

 

Thanks for having me Codplay... and Coldplaying... I hope you all enjoy what this band offers you in the future.

 

Uh, that's nice.

I can't believe you're saying that.

Ok, to the comparisons to U2.

 

But, the backing tracks...(apart from about 3 or 4 live songs) that's a load of SHIT! In 42, there is absolutely no backing tracks on in 42, and so what? They can't exactly play all of the instruments!!

 

And, they're not "commercial machines" only Fix You, The Hardest Part and Viva La Vida are, there are more than a Hundred more songs that other people don't listen to!

 

If it's your choice, then fair enough, but what a choice and statement.

 

I'm sure there are tons of people in this forum who are like me and object to your statement about Coldplay.

 

So, please share, who are you gonna listen to now?

I still don't get what the point of this thread was. Was he just trying to give himself a sense of closure? Lol.
