Coldplay announce Australian Tour (1 Viewer)

[biggles04]

Coldplay are pretty lame. They have potential (Parachutes was a good starting point) but they are complete and utter sellouts. They could make good music but they clearly are only interested in selling records. No respect.

Despite Coldplay's surge in popularity, the band has remained very protective of how their music is used in the media. The band allows their music to be used in film, television, and promotional spots such as the movie trailer to Peter Pan. However, Coldplay has been adamantly against their use in actual product endorsement. The band turned down multi-million dollar contracts from Gatorade, Diet Coke, and The Gap, who wanted to use the songs "Yellow", "Trouble", and "Don't Panic" respectively. According to Martin, "We wouldn't be able to live with ourselves if we sold the songs' meanings like that."

FUCKING PAWNED COCKFACE

You don't need product deals to be a sell out you idiot. I believe they have immense potential as musicians, you can tell that from their first album, yet they have gone on to produce lame, mediocre, 'crowd pleasing' music - presumably to sell more records. That's a real tragedy; that's selling out.
