I've seen them 3 times... the first two times were pretty damn good, I must say... The last time was HORRIBLE! It was the exact same setlist that they played a few months earlier at Alpine Valley(this was indoors in milwaukee at the bradley center).
I remember one time during a song the singer says "Great photo op coming up"
Then he ran to the front of the stage, center, and raised both his arms to the sky in a V, then kneeled down...
that was very gay... but I still like some of their music!

wow what a fucking tool. this further cements coldplay's place in my doghouse of music.

Blind Melon

He was probably just fucking around.

Coldplay are safe. Sometimes I wish they would push their creative envelope a little more, and sometimes I like the old ways of AROBTTH and Parachutes. Musically I think X&Y was the bands best effort...musically. Lyrically, it was a turd. That could have been a really special album but the lyrics dragged it down too much.

Put the b-sides from X&Y on the album and you've got an amazing album.

Wussy........yes. Gay.......no

The only really gay music is like Culture Club, Morrissey, George Michael, etc.

how about Coldplay is actually a fucking great band...quality records

'gay'...'wussy'...please, we're not discussing pop artists here. Coldplay is really a Radiohead-U2 inspired band that people just don't give a chance

Word that. No matter how many times I hear "the Scientist", I love it more than the time before.

What? Gay artists exist but you can't have "gay music". I've never heard the term "straight music" being applied to Pearl Jam (for example).

I recently asked the board what they thought of coldplay and didn't get much in the way of positive responses, really liked the song beach chair from the last jay z album that martin was on and picked up arobtth and the album is great with the title track being my fave. x&y just didn't really change that much from the previous outing and sounds too similiar to stand out to me.

probably not

Their music is pretty wussy, but I do like Clocks.

and maybe their songs are pretty clever and you just don't get them?

plus...that dude is still married to gwenyth paltrow. there's nothing gay about that.

and what's wrong with being married to her?? if i were a guy i'd be pleased to have her, cause she's sweet and has looks of a supermodel, basically she's high class chick

Yeah, but they named their kid Apple for god's sake. That's pretty gay.

Yeah, and your point is?? I knew a girl named April is it gay for you too?

The line is from the movie 40 Year Old Virgin.....it was a pretty funny running gag type deal. I have only heard the song Clocks by Coldplay and I think it'as a pretty cool song. haven't heard anything from them besides that dumb ass song Yellow....which I despise.

Then you have pretty much heard everything they have done to date.Bloody massively overrated DULLARDS IMO.

I'm not a fan of Coldplay as some of you may think from reading my posts above, hehe. I've never seen them live. But majority songs that i've heard were pretty good.

I'm here to join you on that shameful list!;)
I am a Coldplay fan since Parachutes which is still their best IMHO but the latter stuffs are great as well.
Coldplay's worst song still sounds fuckin better to me than anything RHCP released after Californication (and that's obviously not their best one...). Yes, I am an old school fan but if you ask me I'd say RHCP is the worst letdown of the last 10 years!
However I DON'T think Coldplay is a VERY great live band: their setlists are the same night by night and still pretty short ( MUSE)...and Chris Martin as a frontman on stage is simply embarrasing

i've seen them live twice. the second time was better, being outside in the lite rain, a week before i popped the question to my wife who is a huge Coldplay fan. but, i know what you are saying about them live. i'm not in a hurry to see them live again but i will listen to the music. although i guess i should go see them since i drag my wife to see Pearl Jam

coldplay just bore the pants off me. and occassionally chris martin irritates me. but they are inoffensive enough

They are pretty fruity
