Every time I hear cold play all I can think about is the song Yellow and how id watch MTV every morning eating a bowl of cereal before school. No idea why that music video integrated so heavily in my memory
Aw shit. I give Coldplay a hard pass because I’m not a fan of their music. I find it vanilla and boring, but they seem like such good blokes and a great sense of humour.
I’m a tall guy, and have always tried to be considerate to shorter people at concerts. But I have to stand somewhere! What am I supposed to do?! Hunch for 3 %%^*+!? hours ???! I don’t even like going anymore cause I get so much flak.
As someone who is not only tall but extra wide, I've always been extra concerned about blocking people, and just decided from an early concert-going age that the back of the venue was just going to forever be my area to experience a concert at. I've never felt, pardon the pun, short shrifted by having to do this, I'd rather be able to fully relax and immerse myself in the experience and I can't do that if I'm worried that I'm blocking a bunch of people.
...you know how we write "lol", but barely react and if we do, we note "actually lol'ed". Know I'm scared that there actual onion ninjas in my room... and I don't cry. WTF is it which such a dirt-simple poem, being so touching
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" ( attributed to Leonardo da Vinci ). That's only one reason why this poem is so good. The other reason has to do with it being elegant at stating emotions in 3 ways: good, clear & deep. It's truly excellent. It seems to me "dirt-simple" implies the poem might be less valid because it is not pretentious. I am not complaining or judging you (esp since "onion ninjas" is hilarious so I kinda like your comment) .. but I think simple + elegant = awesome.
yeah, no "dirt-simple" is not meant in a derogatory way. Just tried to encompass the idea of "down to earth", not pseudo-deep with frills, but honest, pure and to the point. I'm not happy with "dirt-simple", but didn't have time to come up with sth better
Yeah, they’re given to everyone, is a fun system for big venues that do it :D. Haven’t had one in a few years tho so wonder if the price is just too high.
Oh, i hope you didn't take this GIF as an affront or condesencion. My apologies if you did. There was no offense intended. It's a scene from the movie "40-Year-Old Virgin." It always pops into my mind when I listen to their music. I thought it would be funny here too. I am not gay but I kinda like Coldplay.
I don't really mind things like that in context. I am not a fan of homosexuality being used as an insult, but honestly, from the bits I've seen, I'd expect a 13-year-old's sense of humour from a film like that. XD I'll judge the film for perpetuating that, though, not you for having a brainworm and sharing it. ;)
They are their own label, gotta keep the fans happy. I have mucho respect for them once theor songs started making the club circles as remixes by good dj's
Yeah there were a few times in the early 00s where he (Chris Martin) said some nonsense like the "next song I release will be the best that's ever been written by anyone." Real Kanye-level narcissism. Can't any any direct sources though (it was over 20 years ago).
I have 0 awareness of the quotes and really don't have much of an opinion on Coldplay, but like I don't mind over-confidence in your own material. I expect every musician to believe their the best the same way if I follow any sports player I want them all to believe they're the best. It's when it turns into the upstaging Taylor swift and that kinda stuff that it turns into a problem for me. You can be your own biggest fan, but don't make it everyone else's problem.

I'm not a fan either but I like to see bands really appreciate their fans.

Yeah, they’re given to everyone, is a fun system for big venues that do it :D. Haven’t had one in a few years tho so wonder if the price is just too high.

We might give them shit, but Coldplay are good guys, and they also play along with all the ribbing we give them. I like them a lot for that.

We give them shit cuz their music, well, yeah. But being a popular meh musician is targetry for fuckery.

They're ribbed for our pleasure?

Ok. Ok... Early career narcissism I can allow. I can see how sudden fame can do that.
