this Coldplay album will lauch them into the U2 phsere, and to be honest, they put theyre heads down and worked and they deserve it, Oasis wouldve got that but Liam prides himself on being a pain in the fuckin hole

and to be honest coldplay can have the title of the next u2 ,i loved u2 when hardly anyone else here did , but as soon as everyone started liking them after joshau tree
i got turned off by bonos new world leader bullshit, asshole people who didnt know there back catalouge saying they "loved" them yet had no idea boy ,october,unforgettable fire ect ect ever existed. they became a band that embodied everything i hate , so coldplay can have that chris looks like he wants to be political and as they get bigger i guarantee you new fans will "love" them and think parachutes is someting u use to jump out of a plane with not coldplays first lp
i prefer OASIS to be like this , a loyal dedicated following that will ensure sellouts and good sales enough for them to always come back for another go but i dont want them to be like 95 again when ther=y were the fuckin soundtrack to "eastenders" ..watch the reruns from 95 thru 98 almost every episode they are on in the "vic"

do gwen stafini fans buy bush records? fuck no have i bought appelton records no, people buy music that they like, and if coldplay do what they can in the US its because they deserve it, theyve finished theyre tours with all members and havent public slated theyre audiences (silly yanks anyone?)

X & Y isn't very good.

"If you like having a dick stuffed into your ass, then Coldplay is for you..."

That is frankly the most ridiculous thing I've ever read on here.

I'm sorry but this is rubbish. To quote Steve Lamacq "Liam Gallagher is the least contrived rock star we've got. When he wakes up in the morning he just is Liam Gallagher." He doesn't pride himself on being anything apart from a proper rock star. It's one of the main reasons why Oasis are what they are in the UK, and why they are what they are in the US. You're right, Coldplay have worked at it, if kissing enough pony-tailed arse and going platinum in the US is that important to them fair enough, but don't have a go at Liam just cos he refused to play the game. They wanted to go to America and 'have it' and they did, but breaking it was no more important to them than anything else. If they'd have gone to the US and started doing all the corporate nonsense that Coldplay have done, they would've been hated by their fans in the UK because they would've been the lowest of the music low - fakers. Fact is, Oasis became just as big in the US as Coldplay are gonna get DESPITE Liam walking out of tours and all the rest of it, Coldplay have had to work damn hard to get anywhere near where Oasis were 96/97.

If I was in a band, I know which camp I'd rather be in.

Fact is, I've never drove around with my windows down and Coldplay cranked on my stereo. I've never been inspired to drink until I puked whist listening to any Coldplay album. And I can't really imagine anybody doing either of those. If you want to compare sales numbers, whatever -- but I guarantee you that just about every single copy of DBTT that gets snatched up this week got the plastic ripped off it and immediately stuck into the cd player, cranked up, sung along to, and won't be shelved for quite some time. X & Y will get ripped to some frat boy's $500 iPod then shelved next to his Dave Matthews and John Mayer so all the drunk bimbos he drags back to his room will be impressed with his "taste" in music.

mate have no doubt laim is the most rock n roll thing ever to enter this earth, im a huge fan of his, but at the end of the day how many times has laim pissed on his fans and his band mates, i have no doubt that if laim and noel werent brothers, noel would have fucked him outta the band years ago, liam is a legend but he is a twat like, we love him because hes laim and thats the way it is, but were all die hard oasis fans, non oasis fans think hes a twat, nearly everyone says i dont mind noel but laims a nob

On VH2 they keep doin Morning Glory vs Parachutes, and Definitely Maybe vs Rush of.....

It quite frankly embarrasses Coldplay, i don't mind Coldplay, but theres just nothing to em if you know what i mean. Its pleasant, but all sounds the same. I did buy the Speed of Sound single and was not impressed by its B-sides but i do think Speed of Sound is an alrite pleasant tune, nothing more. Oasis inspire such dedicated followers the likes that Coldplay could only dream of.

DM, MG & BHN are better than any Coldplay album. But quite frankly Parachutes and A Rush of Blood To The Head are just as good or better than HC or SOTSOG. They are just different types of music. Like Dominic said, music isn't all about "cigarettes & alcohol", there are different moods, different emotions. If every Oasis song was in the style of Cigarettes & Alcohol they'd be one of the most boring bands on the planet!

You're right Dom, maybe I was hasty, but on the other hand Coldplay doesn't seem like music you can listen to and just "'ave it", like Oasis, and I appreciate the different moods and all but that's my style, the kind of person I am and the kind of music I like to listen to, you know? Coldplay seems so sullen to me and by comparison my mates who are heavy into Coldplay now think Oasis is just mindless pub rock. It's not, but I don't think I'd mind if it was -- I just like that kind of feeling to come out when I put in a CD.

It's no secret Speed of Sound sounds like it could have been on the last album. That's why they picked it as the first single. I don't understand whay you're saying when you say you expected the results to be more obvious? Have you heard the new album?......By the way, I don't think Coldplay will be get any flack in the states for supporting Kerry, the election is over and done with, the main focus for the band is promoting the album and touring. The only political topic they'll talk about will be Fair Trade.
