I've to add: I didn't mean they don't have to change, I don't want the back anywhere, I just don't like some of these MX-changes/news ...
important to say :D

Unfortunately, they are damned if they do and damned if they don't when it comes to moving ahead with the times. They are criticized if they don't "grow" and remain the same and criticized if they deviate from what they were in the beginning. I personally will take whatever they dish out as long as they keep dishing it. A world without Coldplay would suck.

I know I've said this before, but the negative comments/articles are really bothering me because I'm sure they are bothering Chris and his quirky, yet wonderful, personality. Can you imagine how he feels going into the Brits? There are some people saying that the Willie Nelson (yuck!) cover of their song was better than them. He stresses, and always has, so much over his vocals anyway, so I'm sure this guts him.

I can't help it!

In my opinion, the music during that era is the best that's ever been written, but the big public doesn't know songs like One I Love, We Never Change and Everything's Not Lost. You can't dislike those songs, and with Coldplay's popularity everybody will like them, I think. Just my opinion. They will be the new Beatles.

You are very wise. Coldplay tries new things and moves forward, and some people like it, some don't. Some are wishing for Parachutes again, some are wishing for AROBTTH again. I don't know how they would have made it doing Parachutes every album! Wouldn't they be Keane or One Republic? And no way the Willie Nelson cover is better, I love the guitar part but cringe when he starts singing. That's just the haters, who have never really heard all of a Coldplay song.

I really liked the change, the new things, and ofcourse you have to do that as an artist. But going back now to the old style will do great things, I think.

I L:heart:VE THIS POST!:D:D:D:D:D

I'm a real fan of coldplay only since december so i don't know if i really can take part in the discussion, but i don't think coldplay has changed so much from the beginning until now.

Every song, from the first one of the first album to the last one on the last album, has the typical and lovely coldplay-sound. Off course the songs are not all the same or similar, but they have one thing in common and that's the coldplay-sound which has never left. And by coldplay-sound i don't mean CM's voice off course.

Chris came to the states just days ago and has had 4 big events to do....while not feeling well. I'm sure they cancelled the Australia trip next week because he's been under the weather and needs time to rest his voice and get well.

I hope my cousin austalien from Brisbane Chris (3 rd generation and not same blood ) is not a fan of Coldplay . but not know. I know only his father-in-law.
but there are ways to made things and everyone is happy.

just an interview.

OK, and I have to whine a little. Not ONE single itty bitty pic of Jonny from the whole Grammys performance? I think I only was him on camera twice, so it shouldn't surprise me. The show's producers put most of the focus on Chris and Rihanna, not the band. That bothered me that night, but I thought 'it's just me'. But it's still annoying me now.

He does have some definite confidence issues, yeah. I mean, they're grown men, so they can handle it, not everyone will like what they do. And I certainly agree that constructive criticism is necessary, that an artist of any sort shouldn't just have "yes men" around them all the time prasing every last thing they do. Absolutely true.

But yeah. I dunno. It's hard for me to be too critical of anything I love, be it music, movies. TV, what have you. Certainly I have my personal dislikes-songs I don't care for, albums that aren't their greatest (or if it's a TV show, episodes that aren't my favorite, and so on), and I do share those opinions when the situation calls for it. But I guess because it's hard for me to find people where I live who share my interests, I'd prefer, when I find others who like something I like, to talk about the good stuff and not weigh so much on the bad. And if I don't like something, I don't presume that everyone else should hate it, too. Everyone's opinions will differ. If you like it, fine. If you don't, fine.

I guess also I can kinda relate to Chris in the "lack of confidence sometimes" department, so that might factor into my reasoning, too.

Yes!

I meant to say 'saw' not 'was',lol. But yeah. Apparently it's not like Chris needs a band now. I know He doesn't feel that way, but these award show producers seem to. I LOVE all 4 members of the band, but seeing...er...NOT seeing Jonny at the Grammys kinda broke my heart.

Coldplay IS FOUR!

I am still in shock that Skrillex that stupid dumb dj won 3 grammy it is making a mockery of the music industry its just NOT MUSIC!!!!!

I wish he would have stayed in that squat where he came from get lost DUDE!!!!!

fuck foo fighter

That's true, and it is sad that everyone is always talking about Chris Martin and his band. I know Chris hates that also. Some people are talking about a solo carreer, but I am going mad and angry when someone says that. I really get a sick feeling. The same with Chris. When Howard (great interview) asked Chris about a solo thing, Chris was getting so uncomfortable, he almost couldn't find the right words to say that's absolutely ridiculous. This band is all about the 4/5 people, not something like the FF where it is all Dave Grohl. People have to say more about the other band members and have to ask more questions during interviews to them I think. But maybe the boys are fine with it.
