I'm sorry, my amp doesn't go up to 'suck'

So, to get your mind off the idea that Coldplay has anything worth playing on guitar, for no real reason, here's Emily Blunt.

My, isn't it a lovely day now?

I was about to complain about the overabundance of Coldplay stories, but that picture did indeed put me in a better mood.
(Still, I'm waiting for the unveiling of a Coldplay tag - or just a picture of a bowl of oatmeal).

Another day, another Coldplay-bashing headline. Gee.

 
Hoboclown 2008-06-04 07:17:59 AM  
So is it true that Guitar Hero 4 is going to come with a drum set and basically be the same as Rock Band now? Maybe I don't want a game that takes four people to play.

You know you can play with just one 'instrument', right?

Well, while you're at it, you might as well add the Bee Gees, Genesis, and Simon and Garfunkel. Maybe the longhairs might start to buy the damn thing... hey, I know-- how about Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young?

"Yellow" is kinda fun to play un-plugged, the chicks dig it!

I'd totally buy pan flute hetero hero.

Coldplay sucks. I'm talking Creed suck. I think the only reason they are still around is because the lead singer married Paltrow or something.

But yeah. They suck.

 
blubberknife 2008-06-04 08:10:34 AM  
They should add Slayer to guitar hero.

Yeah... keep up with that, biatches.

 
Garko 2008-06-04 08:23:09 AM  
Coldplay???
Really?

This is going to continue to suck until you guys get
a) JOURNEY
b) DIRE STRAITS
and 3) NAZARETH

Rock Band ftw

 
odintal 2008-06-04 08:27:43 AM  
the music for GH ranges from bad(coldplay) to an assault on your hearing (everything in the final set on GH3).

only cool thing they did was the dropkick murphys pack.

Raining Blood is in there.

This is what happens when something becomes too popular for its own good.

TribeFan695 2008-06-04 09:11:50 AM  
I don't care if he's country, there should be a Brad Paisley song in the next game.

/doesn't hate Coldplay
//but I'd hardly consider them rockers

Yes, and it's a biatch.

 
Tad Sexington 2008-06-04 09:19:59 AM  
Agreed, I'd like to see

Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing on there, that last solo would be rediculous.

 
kungfu jesus with a side of lime 2008-06-04 09:21:05 AM  
I would request a Buckethead or Joe Satriani pack. They are more guitar hero's then dropkick murphys, which is not to insult the DM, I just enjoy guitar gods more. I didn't even know the did a dropkick murphys pack. If the game is about guitar playing lets focus on people that play the guitar really farking well.

/we could do zappa
//coldplay sucks

So...no Jethro Tull? They did win the Heavy Metal Grammy one year. :-)

Was not disappointed.

 
Vertdang 2008-06-04 09:37:56 AM  
Ok, I hate coldplay too.

On the positive GH side, next year will have Guitar Hero: Metallica

now THAT will be made of pure WIN.

Skateaway would be a killer, too. But they'd probably go with Money For Nothing first.

 
Weisenheimer 2008-06-04 09:46:04 AM  
I never paid attention to Coldplay, but that recent iTunes commercial has convinced me that I would probably like them. I like pretty music, stuff that lifts your spirit and makes you smile... not necessarily music that just gets your heart pumping past the manufacturer's recommended capacity and makes you feel ready to kill something.

Thats not like playing a real pan flute! Really, just go out and buy a real one and learn to play. You are not cool playing your game Pan Flute. Look, all you are doing is blowing into colored pipes! So lame! And you look stupid!!

I like coldplay, but then again a lot of people think I'm gay.

/Doesn't play GH
//Soft rock doesn't belong in the game.

I normally farking despise Coldplay, but their currently-overplayed single on the radio whose name I couldn't care to find out is actually a decent rock song.

My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama seems like an obvious addition.

But I just might now buy the game.

Once upon a time, when I worked in a record store a cute young chick and her boyfriend came in. She was looking for some Zamfir CDs for her grandfather or something (I am assuming).

Her: "Hi, I am looking for the Master of the Skin Flute"
Me: "What?"
Her: "Zamfir or something. They call him the master of the skin flute."
*I try to stifle the laugh and look at her boyfriend, he is in agony*
Boyfriend (whispering) "Uhhhh, honey it's a 'PAN' flute"
*she thinks for a second, turns bright red and runs out of the store.

The boyfriend and I laughed for a good five minutes.

 
KrunkSplein [TotalFark] 2008-06-04 10:18:44 AM  
Man... I can't believe I had forgotten/blocked out the wonderful 30-second Zamfir, Master of the Pan Flute ads. To YouTube!

Why do we have to say that such-and-such band sucks or not?

I think music is like food. Some people like steak and some people hate steak. Just say you hate steak. Why is it necessary to say that all steak sucks?

I love steak, and I also love Coldplay.

To use your analogy correctly though, Coldplay isn't steak. They are more like a really small bag of pretzels.

/rest stop pretzels at that.

Because, also like food, there's a culture of elitism that thinks that bands automatically suck if they become popular, just like there's a culture that rejects fast food and casual restaurants and only goes to the more exclusive joints.

I loved The Olive Garden when they were still underground. Now it's all salad and breadsticks. They sold out big time.

 
ahnuts 2008-06-04 11:16:43 AM  
Guitar Hero 3 is actually FUN to play. Rock Band is just tedious. The article likes to think Guitar Hero is dead. I'll take more Guitar Hero. Thanks.

/There's worse songs on Rock Band than Coldplay.

Is it really elitism just because you don't want some mass-produced rat burger that has been sitting under a heat lamp for an hour?

I do like the analogy, though.

Coldplay = mass-produced rat burger

And, subby, I lol'd.

I don´t know about you guys, but I´d pay good money for a Sarah McLachlan Rock Band/Guitar Hero thing.

Last week's downloadable content was Jimmy Buffett. I'm not shiatting you.

/there are some good songs on DLC, but seriously: Jimmy Buffett

 
DreamBrother 2008-06-04 11:49:31 AM  
As a lover of Coldplay's first two albums - Parachutes is easily one of the top albums of the decade - even I think having them on Guitar Hero is retarded.

/doesn't get the hate either
//Skip X&Y and the new one, they peaked with A Rush of Blood To The Head
