As much as I'd like to clown on Coldplay for being too emo, etc. I have to admit they have some really good songs and the Parachutes album is amazing.

But I wouldn't waste my time watching them live. I like to be entertained at a show, not put to sleep.

Free, huh? Does Coldplay have hot, female fans? I'm sure I could survive two hours of that whiny pre-pubescent dipshiat lead singer of theirs if I'm surrounded by hotties.



But if their fans look like their music sounds.....pass.

From the accounts I have heard from friends who have attended their concerts, that answer to your question is a resounding 'yes'. Supposed to be tons of hot girls at their shows.

/doesn't mind Coldplay

Is there anything more feminine than Coldplay? Maybe wind chimes, but there would have to be a lot of them.

 
Floodman 2008-04-28 08:59:43 PM  
They're a fine band, you guys are absurd for treating them like Nickelback.

/now Coldplay doesn't seem too bad, eh?

Sadly they know nothing of razors wear birkenstocks and try way too hard to sound smart when they talk about their "feelings".

well of course. we all know record sales=quality


/you dumbfark


did i make that argument? no, but i probably wasn't clear on my point. coldplay = guys who don't care that a few angry farkers pretend they'd have to be paid upwards of $1000 to spend a couple hours watching them live with drooling babes all around them b/c they're farking beautiful women and flying wherever they want, whenever they want.

record sales = success

Where do you get this idea that anything of a sensitive nature is strictly "feminine?" Oh, that's right YOU'RE A SEXIST PIG.

record sales = selling out, that's why I'd never distribute by anything except megaupload fark yeah

And actually, Chris Martin is a married father and a minimalist vegan whiny guy who imitates Thom Yorke, so don't be surprised if there are no flights and actually both of these free concerts are actually pre-recorded broadcasts from their studio so that they don't use fossil fuel.

/both of them are assholes
//is also something of a minimalist veg whiny guy
///may apply for free tickets if it doesn't involve a CD-key

record sales = selling out? ha. fark kills me. "you know how i know i make quality music? NOBODY CAN BUY IT! Haha, can't call me a sell-out!" no, record sales = a certain segment of the population feels that they write/perform quality music. sorry you guys don't like it, neither do i, but the most common ridiculous arguments i ever here are "i don't like it so it sucks and they're sellouts" or "i listen to music that is better so therefore these guys lack all talent whatsoever by virtue of them not being as good as people i know"

guess what guys, opinions are subjective.

so, he's an asshole, but you use the argument that being a married father/vegan means he's monogamous or faithful?

the only problem that i have with coldplay is that they are boring. they have never tried to challenge their fans with anything more than the same overly-accessible sound that they've recycled for every album. consequently, that is a winning formula that has made a lot of bands very rich, but it is still a valid reason not to like a band.
that said, i would still probably go to a free coldplay concert because it would be a cheap date that would probably convince my girlfriend to play with my junk a bit.

it's true. the last time i took your girlfriend to a coldplay concert she was all over my junk the rest of the night.

/blow in her ear during "yellow" and you're guaranteed a ZJ right there in the arena

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

I can honestly say I wouldn't go if they paid me $50. They are a shiatty cover band of U2, basically.

Coldplay's great, but I'd never go to a rock concert featuring them, or anyone else for that matter. I rather enjoy not being deaf.

Oh yes. And if you think Coldplay = Feminine = Gay, you're a dumbass.

 
Wettner 2008-04-30 09:19:41 AM  
I have been to a few Coldplay shows and the women that attend are really hot. It is unbelievable. Coldplay are also pretty good live, more rocking than their cds.

But Fark prefers Rush concerts. I think there is a universal law where women are not allowed within 100 yards of a Rush show because I have yet to spot a living breathing female at a Rush show.
