It's not to my liking either but there's a lot of people that do seem to hate Coldplay, that's what i don't get. It's inoffensive and bland but so was Whitney Housten and she was well liked -not by me though LOL Whitney Houston was ace and her voice sent from heaven! I dont know if people truly hate Coldplay its more like frustration and disappointment that they are called a rock band and they have substituted a real rock band... But since rock isn't mainstream anymore, that's all we gonna get and maybe people are just frustrated at the fact that rock is not offering new superbands like in the 70s, 80s, 90s.... It is just resistance to the pass of time and losing spaces 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were always slow but this isn't pop.

Pop artists also do drugs so that's not an indicator.

Sydney Fan Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Mr mckagan business wise has turned into gene simmons. The dollar comes first then the art. I dont see the stones being money grabbing and with their discography they could be money grubbibg pricks if the want to be and milk the stones name and music for all their worth but i think GNR milks the band more than the stones do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, you all sound like dinosaurs whining about how bad another band is and how Duff is a sellout for playing with Chris Martin. Reminds me of high school where kids felt the need to pigeonhole themselves into certain genres. "I like rock. Rap sucks." lol I don't know why you quoted me, because I specifically said I don't care either way. As in I don't care if he plays with Chris Martin or not. Maybe I wasn't clear enough or my post was poorly written. And personally, I think it's good to be open to different genres.

I agree you have to draw the line somewhere! For me I draw my own personal line at not really getting that bent out of shape regarding what one musician I don't know personally chooses to musically do with another musician I don't know personally On 9/22/2018 at 6:20 AM, Lio said: Seriously? Are you guys upset because Duff does charity with people from pearl jam, the peppers and Chris Martin? Is that upsetting you? What a pathetic bunch you are. I hate Coldplay's music and always thought Chris Martin was annoying but I kinda hope Duff does more charity events with him just to see others getting bent out of shape lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulMonster Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Fuck Duff for contributing to charity and while doing it messing with our preconceptions of who he is and what he is allowed to do by playing with musicians we don't particularly like! What is next? Is he going to play a charity gig to collect money to fight child leukemia with Nickelback!? Fuck him! Preserving my image of who he is and what he does is much more important than charity! Edited September 24, 2018 by SoulMonster 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You attempt to post your opinion as fact, then get upset when others disagree. In this case you've decided that Duff shouldn't be allowed to play with certain artists and made some statements about it. Now becuase a lot of people including myself disagree, it's the rest of us who are wrong and can't take a joke? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
