Thanks. I don’t hate Coldplay though. I don’t follow people enough to know if they’re a twat. It’s just music for me.
I had no idea people hated Coldplay.
They are the epitome of the adage that their earlier stuff was better. For me, they jumped the shark when Roman Catholic bells were ringing.
The great thing about Coldplay is they've changed over the years, which of course pisses some off who liked one style and now expect it every time. I don't like some of their songs, but the songs I do like I enjoy. The era of Clocks and Speed of Sound and Scientist were solid. There have been a few later ones I like too, but the songs either click for you or not. That's how music should be, eclectic and not formula.
I think the last song of theirs that hit me hard was All I Can Think About is You. May not be everyone's type of song, but it felt like the Coldplay I like. And there's the sleeper The Hardest Part.
I really hadn't thought about Coldplay in years until I showed up to work at one of their concerts a couple years ago. I honestly couldn't name a single one of their songs except Viva La Vida, which - spoiler - is not one of their songs.
But all the people on tour with them were really friendly and competent and gave clear instructions, unlike the usual raging assholes who go on tour to do staging work. We got the job done quickly, safely, and with minimal angry screaming.
So now I like Coldplay. I still don't listen to their music, but, like, I just decided I like them.
Wikipedia says it's written by all four members of the band. And I agree, they're super mainstream and unremarkable but Viva la Vida is perfect. The lyrics are epic, poetic, wise, sad and true. The instrumental is flawless, simple yet classy with these strings and the choir. The atmosphere is unlike any other song I've ever head and it's breathtaking even after listening for the 100th time. A true masterpiece.
Because they're not Nickelback?
Hehe
Well done with that quick photoshop job!
How did their faces get so red?
it's hard to find photos that aren't cropped or color corrected. those are photos of the big screen at the venue that someone took (presumably).
I felt lazy and didn't want to screenshot from the video.
It wasn't a real question :) I was having fun with the lyrics
"look at this photograph Every time I do it makes me laugh How did get eyes get so red And what he hell is on Joey's head?"
I was also lazy and didn't look up her name so I could try to rhyme the 'head' line.
I don't, but if it is being served in a playlist or anything, I'll skip it. They are so bland, it's almost like easy listening.
Because after clocks/scientist they just sold out to mainstream garbage styled to the masses and the money and not the music.
I remember me and my buddy were sitting around one night drinking mad dog and smoking weed and a live company Coldplay concert was on TV so we watched it and thought it was kind of good. Then the next day we each listened to Coldplay sober on our own. I got a text from him half way thru the day that just said "holy shit dude,I don't know what was going on last night, but I just listened to Coldplay again... It's like the sound track to a woman complaining about her period.. How the fuck did this sound good last night?"
What is coldplay?
Wait, it's a band. I thought it was some kind of streaming app. Meh.
I actually thought it was some nuanced kind of stream. Like streaming the old recorded gameplay. Or something like that.

It’s a band that has been in the news lately because at one of their concerts there was some dude having an affair that got caught real be on the Jumbotron. But otherwise they saltarted in the late 90s or slightly later and just seem like good dudes to me.
If your serious start with yellow search on YouTube.
No, start with Clocks. That's best.
Who ?
