Overrated sack of Horse **** ?

Or Sack of Horse **** ?

Chris Martin, annoying Prima Donna ?

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Chris Martin abandons interview

God I hate Coldplay (though I don't mind Clocks when I forget who it is)

Abdabz

Most definately an overrated sack of horse ****. Chris Martin is beyond any doubt an annoying hypocritical prima donna.
I have never met Chris Martin, nor have I seen him in the flesh, my friend Simon and Jensen Button in the same room at the same time and it leads me to think that my friend Simon is actually a singing racing driver with multiple personalities

TopBanana

You can't really act like that when you're in the public eye. The interviewer was asking some tedious questions though.

j4ckos mate

i thing they are budgie spunk as well.

loads of bands are the new this or the new that, as soon as people realise we are being manipulated by record producers "megastores" the more power we will have as a nation.


heres an example "decking" how did it catch on, i bet you it was down to a few gardening programmes telling you how good it was, and how we needed it, then all of a sudden it catches on

dpb

Theyre no Artic Monkeys ...

boxst

I quite like Coldplay, although Chris Martin does seem a bit full of himself. However, he managed to marry Gwyneth Paltrow...

Put it this way, any band or song promoted by Apple for their iPod/iTunes ad is shyte by default

shyte backing band, shyte singer, depressive lyrics, all made successful by a multitude of catchy melodies and lots of product placement and **** kissing by seemingly influentual yet clueless pundits (Jo Wiley) waxing lyrical over them

Suresh

Come on guys, if you don't like them, then FFS stop with all this beating around the bush and just come out with it!

I D/L'd the new album from i-tunes last Friday, but family and work commitments mean I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet. I according to the opinions above I should just smash my hard disk with a hammer in order to permanently delete the rubbish

dpb

You could delete the info after youve made the cd and then use it as a frisbee

I think Liam Gallagher had it right.

During a kids cancer gig, Chris Martin constantly banged on about free trade and aired his anti-capitalist feelings to the audience. Following the gig Liam had the below to say:

I'm not really a fan of Gallagher to be honest, but in this case he was absolutely spot on. Chris Martin is in the same bracket as Geldoff, a self-serving celebrity attempting to solve the worlds problems from his ivory tower.

Suresh

Don't argue with that at all. And Bono is a **** of the highest order for his similar efforts to make us all feel bad and donate to a basket case cause that hasn't achieved a bloody thing with the squillions so far donated. Doesn't make U2's music crap though, does it?

GC8

Excuse me: are you a mentalist?

angrynorth

U2's music is crap regardless of the fact that Bono is a bellend. To be fair, Coldplay have actually released some fairly good tracks, but that doesn't change the fact that Chris Martin is an arrogant self serving douchebag.

NACRO

I was with you there right through the U2 hate until you said 'Coldplay released some fairly good tracks'. If by good you mean whiney, reedey voiced,half witted polemic to a backing track of derivative and unimaginative krypto indie guitar music then I agree with you.

The 'panhead' was spot on with his comments BTW.

Abdabz

Why, yes. Yes, I am

SiPie

Once again more comedy from Scoobynet

Nowadays I get to meet quite a few artists and I can honestly say that many impressions I have had of celebs have been shattered upon meeting them and I think those that 'attack' anyone like Chris Martin would get a sharp shock if they met a percentage of the artists that they 'like'....or who they have grown up idolising...

High percentage tend to be mirrors of the Bonos, Chris Martins and Van Morrisions of this world but on a less successful scale, this tends to make them even more unbearable.....

Obviously others tend to be relatively unaffected

Buy a CD or follow a band based upon whether you like the lead singer or not.....?

PS Viva la Vida (3.0 out of 5.0)

NACRO

Surely whether they are 'nice' or not has no relevance to the fact they are over hyped and make rubbish music?

SiPie

Totally agree

Just think it's funny when people like Chris Martin and Bono are singled out as being this that and the next thing, yet many other artists slightly lower down the fame rating are equally as bad, if not worse and I'm certain will still populate many's CD collections

NACRO

I think in the case of Chris Martin what gets up people's noses is stuff like the interview walkout, his earnest political eulogies, his fit wife and his fat wad of cash.

For the benefit of the clearly jealous there's one thing you can laugh at, didn't he call his daughter after a piece of fruit? (obviously you can only laugh at this if you haven't given your offspring a ridiculous chav name like ashton, kane, kyle kaydee/lee, cortkneeee etc etc)

PeteBrant

Coldplays stuff ranges from abysmal to outstanding. "A rush of blood to the head" is thier best work. Parachutes and X&Y were average at best, and Viva la Vida is great in parts not so good in others.

DCI Gene Hunt

"Clocks" still makes me resort to playing desk piano whenever its aired.....

JTaylor

Well, I like Coldplay.....and U2. There, I've said it.

boxst

It's okay, I said it as well! Although U2 is a bit hit and miss with me: I like some stuff.

Steve

PeteBrant

What really got up my nose was the fact that for a band that are so left wing they make me look like Hitler, and are all for free money and food and stuff, they take the **** with thier own product.

I have a copy of X&Y, perfectly legit, bought from a shop and everything. Can I transfer it to my iPod? Can I bollocks. Its copy protected up to the hilt.

But they didn't bank on me ripping it to my PS3, then copying it to a USB stick and then back onto my machine than then onto the iPod. I win you viscious communist *******s.

CrisPDuk

I'm not a fan of Coldplay's music at all It all seems to be the same whining dirge, I would definitely struggle to tell the difference between any their various records

As far as Chris Martin goes, compared to the likes of Pete Docherty or Amy Winehouse the guy's pretty harmless really, I think most of the sniping is rooted in envy


Either that, or it was one of the most cynical sponsorship deals ever

GC8

I used to love U2: but it was 1984, and I was a little boy, so that was alright.

Tobisausage

Bono rants on about world poverty and yet has his hat flown to him first class on a plane.
