I'm with you.

I've never been into real men like "x" and men should never like "y".

I remember coldplay because of the worst breakup I ever had in my life. I was lying in bed and that song Yellow kept playing over and over.

And all I could think was "jeez that dude is a huge wuss".

Don't judge my people. We write songs and books and movies for you. All we ask is $10-20 for a few hours entertainment.

Hipsters are the friends who sneer when you cop to liking Coldplay.

Is the SCARY tag hiding from the overrated talent of Mr. Gwenyth Paltrow & Co.?

Are Coldplay really overrated? I mean I don't know of anyone who considers them anything more than pop music. I don't really accept Grammy awards as being the mark of sophistication as I think the whole ceremony lacks credibility.

Wtf are you talking about subtard? Those guys have tons of fans. I dont care for them, but hey, at least they're out there playing music with actual instruments. There's a hell of a lot worse.

When did British rock become so pussified? I mean these are the people who gave us The Who, Led Zepplin, Ozzy, punk rock and so much more. Now it's this whiney, emo, piano playing shiat. C'mon you wankers! Sack up and start rockin' again!

Oh man, subby is going to think I'm a gay because I'm going to buy tickets when they go on sale. How will I ever live with myself?

The usual knock on Coldplay is that their music is wimpy "Radiohead lite." It is not that they are unpopular in North America, as that would be plainly false.
 
2011-12-10 11:46:16 AM
Done in one. Wuss rock at it's worst.
 
2011-12-10 12:31:41 PM
Thanks for explicating that, professor derpaherp.
 
2011-12-10 12:37:18 PM
All of their biggest fan must be excited.

I'm just here for the obligatory "you're not very good at this, subby" comment.

Carry on.

That's why I don't like the headline here. Say what you want about the band or their music, but saying that a band whose every album has hit #1 doesn't have any fans is a bad effort at trolling.

Dear Chris,

Please bring this version of the little woman, park her on stage in front of me and I'm in.

Thanks.

That's precisely what I'm saying.

It's lazy and uncreative.

If you're going to snark, go ahead and snark, but don't be half-assed about it. You know, something along the lines of "COLDPLAY NO GOT FANS AND THEY ARE SUCK, LOL."

So sue me.

If I need mellow music to sleep to, or in the mood for daydreaming about my crush, I'll go for Coldplay. They may not make a great band, but they cater to the mellow rock category very well.

I saw them in Camden, NJ during their first American tour. It was well worth the trip to Camden, and if you know anything at all about Camden then you know that's saying something.

Suck it, haters.

It's all about EPAULETTES and BOMBAST. Pretentious wankers.

Just like most of Coldplay's music.

Well, this homosexual doesn't have so much as a quarter note of Coldplay's music either on my iPod or on CD. I saw them on their first American tour here in Los Angeles and wrote them off as "Radiohead without the whiny vocals". Nothing I've heard on the radio* has changed my opinion.

* Even the so-called alt rock station I listen to in the car, 98.7, plays 'em

Lemme guess, they're doing a tour of shopping malls with Hot Topics.

Fantastic headline, subs!

ill say this, i do love coldplay, but some of these snarky remarks are still making me laugh

Marshmallow Jones: Wtf are you talking about subtard? Those guys have tons of fans. I dont care for them, but hey, at least they're out there playing music with actual instruments. There's a hell of a lot worse.

So......I've got to know....who the hell are these people?

I never hear folks proclaiming that they're big Coldplay fans yet the amount of airplay they get is just astounding. When something new from them comes out it's everywhere yet I rarely hear DJ's really go off about how great they are.

I don't "get" the appeal of them and I'm fully willing to admit that it could entirely be who I am and my own musical tastes. But I never hear of folks standing up and being fanatical about them like any other band out there.

it is easy listening garbage that doesn't offend. therefore, fans or no, it gets airplay. kind of like maroon 5. who really likes maroon 5?
