Hi lovely Anna :blush::heart:

This is a brilliant parody! Hats off to you sir. And my dear Pai, we wouldn't mind having more than one recorded version! Post it here if you would :D

:stunned: they really could be from the same band..

Oh god yes! There was once when I was addicted to it that I wanted to have it for every meal. But of course that wasn't possible.

I'd love to..

:lol:

Happy birthday pretty Irish lady :nice:

I thought of making a 'The "Rudy's Leaving Malaysia let's not talk to him forever" Thread!' thread but figured there would only be Aisya and I in it :shifty: Anywayyy, have fun Rudz! You'll enjoy it I promise.

No, they are familiar because they are popular. Lady Gaga's Bad Romance for example, would not be mainstream if it was only listened by 3 people. But since it was played 10 times per day by nearly all radio stations all over the world, most probably made it to bilboards (did it?) and you can't not know the lyrics even if you try, the song becomes mainstream.

Being mainstream IS being popular and familiar. Seeing that all the bands you mentioned ARE incredibly famous and and have sold millions of records, so yes, they ARE mainstream bands (as opposed to what you said before). You on the other hand, made up a totally new meaning of 'mainstream' and was surprised that other people didn't understand what you were saying. That can be said, but that does not determine whether a band is a mainstream band or not.

What sounds stupid and illogical is that you form your own understanding of what mainstream is and assume the whole world suddenly knows about it and accepts it. I'm sorry that it sounds harsh but I just don't get the way you think.

It's not about being logical, it is what it is. No Tammi, you are ridiculously mainstream :angry:

Yeah but that does not mean they are not commercially successful. They've sold millions of copies worldwide under multinational big record labels so yes they are very successful commercially and also very popular. Anyway there's no point in arguing as clearly you need to reconstruct your knowledge/understanding on what 'mainstream' is.

They are all commercially known and also commercially successful, so yeah they are mainstream bands. edit: basically what Mike said.

^lol those bands you mentioned are all mainstream bands

What does that have to do with anything?

I just noticed that OTO on the album looks like either a) a penis with two giant balls, or b) a really small penis

I can't tell if that is sarcasm or if you really mean it.

I'll go listen to Spice Girls cause they have a song with the word Viva in it. How's that for a real fan :angry:

:blush:

As much as I don't like what is served to us so far of the new album, I do think these boys are highly dedicated to making music. In fact, I think that Coldplay is one of the most crazily-driven bands. I can't imagine them stopping in the near future.

WAWAWAWA WATERFALL Really touches the deepest part of my soul.

I pronounce it as MY-lo ZY-letoe. lol yes, still shit.

Ah, that's right. It's just that the difference was not that distinguishable. Now that just makes me sadder :(

I'm pretty sure they still used it for VLV.
