Just read this interview with Spinal Tap guitarist, David St Hubbins: "In the new DVD documentary, you say you don't like soft music much. What do you feel about new bands like Coldplay? I just don't see how Coldplay know how one song has ended and another has begun. There's a sameness to them. They seem to be so quiet. Are they afraid of waking someone up, like the bassist? It's not my thing. It's mostly girls that like them. I love girls, they drive the market. I just wish they hadn't driven it into a soft shoulder."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I know I'll probably upset a lot of people on this forum, but I absolutely loathe and detest Coldplay. Their popularity baffles me. I did quite like their debut 'Parachutes' although I always hated Yellow, I thought it was such a clumsy song with clumsy lyrics. A Rush of Blood to the Head had some good tracks I'll admit but X and Y and Viva La Vida are dreadful. Reasons I hate Coldplay: 1/ Chris Martin has the most irritating, weedy voice. His falsetto on songs like Yellow and Fix You is nauseating. 2/ Chris Martin is not a particularly good musician. The rest of his band are average musicians, nothing special. I have seen Chris make numerous fluffs live. 3/ Chris Martin is the most irritating frontman. In between songs he does these irritating monologues, who does he think he is, Bono? 4/ The do pointless cover versions live. 5/ They are plagiarists. There's obviously the accusation by Joe Satriani over Viva La Vida and also an obscure New York band whose name I forget. No smoke without fire I say. Have you heard their song, Life in Technicolor? The riff is a complete rip-off of All Apologies by Nirvana. 6/ They are so bland. Even their name is dull. 7/ Their stupid costumes they are wearing at the moment. They look like a poor man's version of Adam and the Ants. 8/ There are much better 'Coldplay-type bands' out there. eg Snow Patrol, Travis, Doves, Elbow. Actually Elbow are in a different league. 9/ They take themselves way too seriously. Get a sense of humour guys. 10/ Have I made my point? Surely no-one can defend 'Fix You'
