Average Coldplay Enjoyer Posted Sunday at 08:01 AM Share Posted Sunday at 08:01 AM Now take it with a grain of salt, but I asked some Romanians, and they basically said that the guy was a gypsy of sorts and that most Romanians hate their music (manele or something) because of the 'values' it promotes. I was there for the first show, and the booing was unreal. It felt like the whole stadium was booing and whistling. Chris introduced the guy like this (not verbatim): "I was walking down the streets of Bucharest and heard someone busking outside. The guy was so talented that I couldn't help but invite him here today." The Romanians I asked said, we paid good money to see Coldplay, and they are forcing this guy on us, as if he represents Romanian culture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article Coldplero linked explained Chris took a look at the romanian charts, so that about "most romanians" hating that kind of music... I´m spanish, and I don´t like most reggaeton songs, but it sounds everywhere and the masses love it, it is what it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it was dangerous for him and the crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Famous Old Painter Posted Sunday at 12:56 PM Share Posted Sunday at 12:56 PM OK I know it's not directly relevant to the thread but I feel like this vid is worth watching https://v.redd.it/mjm6usidxf6d1 Say what you will about the dickhead and his motivations behind it, but how Coldplay reacted was A+ concert etiquette. It was especially heartwarming watching Johnny rush to his aid too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, how do you know they came around to check he was ok, and not to give him the bill of the broken stage elements? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Famous Old Painter Posted Sunday at 10:39 PM Share Posted Sunday at 10:39 PM There are a lot of comments on Reddit saying “what the hell, why is there a muppet on stage?” ”That’s not a nice thing to say about Chris Martin” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
