Those theiving Toerags (Coldplay)

[Brendan]

Rant re. that arse from coldplay:

He?s just some prat who whines about his emotions. Butch up for gods sake! Why should I care about his puerile observations of the human condition just because he can write songs? Lots of people can write songs it doesn?t qualify them as social commentators. In fact Aqua?s song Barbee Girl is probably a greater contribution to the universal body of music than all of coldplay?s work put together. At least it is amusing in an absurd sort of way and has a good looking woman in the video which is of more cultural value than the shrill laments of a bumfluff faced primadonna. His songs weep wound-like with the kind of pubescent sentimentality found in the scribblings of a petulant teenager who has locked himself in his room with the curtains drawn because the object of his obsession has been giving out handjobs behind the bike shed, nobody understands him and now mum expects him to do his homework.

All music is plagiarism plus 10%, except the really original stuff which is plagiarism plus 2%.

Somewhere there's some poor axe-spanker who Joe Satch 'borrowed from' but there won't be a lawsuit because either they haven't made the connection, they can't afford it, prove it.. or because they're dead. Just because Mr Martin is a bit of a cock and hard to like doesn't mean that the $$$ signs flash untastefully in his head but not in Satch's. There's something distasteful about the whole thing.

I'm not a huge fan.. but at least in eg the hip-hop/rap/blah world, the sample it/use it/sort it out later seems an honest policy in comparison.

He would do well to take some advise from this guy!.

[HonaloochieB]

All this hating Chris Martin stuff, it's because he copped off with Gwynnie and you're all jealous.

I'm right, amn't I?

[Brendan]

Well there's that too ...

[Mikecg]

No! It's because he is up his own aris.....

[Keef]

It's because he's from Devon!!!!

All sorts of thinngs one could say in response to this one Mike.

But to do so would be to cast aspersions about certain 'practices' and the lovely Gwynnie.

I simply won't 'go there'.

And he still managed to cop off with Gwynnie, no wonder you're wild with jealousy.

[Keef]

Gwynnie? Was the the bloke from Shakespeare in love?

[Moos]

Yes indeed, most chiselled jaw in 3 continents.

(I too am just jealous)

Didnt Gwynnie walk out with Brad Pitt at some point? If I was Chris Martin, I would be patting myself on the back.

Just so, MP. Chris, not so yellow after all.
