I totally agree. It's hard to compare them about their careers and musically (though I am biased haha) But I think what draws me to both of the bands and why I think people compare them - not just for their sounds, because I think they sound different- is because of how they operate (the band chemistry, their attitudes) and how they impact people, especially fans. Everytime I talk to U2 or Coldplay fans, i hear lots of amazing stories about how each band helped them through a difficult experience. And I know every time I go through a difficult time I lean on their songs and they help me through. And I think one of the things Chris said (I think it was in the live 2012), about how people come to see the bands for their chemistry and that is a very important part of it. U2 and Coldplay both have that spark (no pun intended) about them and you can tell by just looking at the band and how they interact that they are close. Thats something they have in common that is really special. There aren't too many bands that have been together as long as they have (especially U2!)

Thank you! Haha, yes that is true XD Though being an online fan is new to me. I didn't know about this website until recently, I wish I had known about it before!

Welcome to Coldplaying, Sehn! To upload a profile picture, go under Settings on top of the page, and then scroll down the left side until you see Edit Avatar. That will take you to a page where you can upload an image (there is a size limit but I can't remember what it is). I hope that helps! Thank You! I see it now, for some reason I just couldn't find it XD

Hello! Thats awesome! What do you like to draw? : )

Thank You! : ) And maybe I'm just dumb but I can't seem to find how to upload a profile picture? : o

I've found my favorite thread...!!! I'm a huge fan of U2 also and I always found myself comparing them as well. I feel like one of the interesting differences in progressing musically is that U2 made their first album younger than Coldplay was by the time their first album came out. When U2 were 22 they had already done 2 albums. And it's interesting how Coldplay became famous much quicker- after their first album, Yellow Single. Not that U2 didn't become famous after Boy, but their true launch into world fame is arguably the Joshua Tree. On another note, whenever the two collide it makes me ridiculously happy!! It is interesting to me, the similarities, such as both working with Brian Eno/ Anton Corbjin

Hello all! My name is Sehn and I like to draw a lot! I've been a Coldplay fan for a while, and I'm so excited for their new album! :parachutes::arobtth::x&y::viva::mx::gs: (these pixels are adorable)
