"Fans are getting excited ahead of the show
Sisters Sharron Weeks, 42, and Lynda Harrison, 46, from Risca were bought tickets as Christmas presents from their parents.
Sharron said: “This is the first concert I have ever been to in my life and they are my favourite band. I really don’t like any other bands just them. "

Christ, their parents must have really hated them to have spent over forty years plotting to damage them like this...

They're mainstream yes but they're a great band. They're not music by numbers like most pop bands these days

This is true but for some reason i dislike them immensely.
Perhaps it's he with the nasally droning voice with zero personality :shrug:
They must be doing something right.
-
Re: Coldplay tonight - Mill Stad keeping roof open
They're....ok. Nothing special at all but have some passable songs.
Why did they want the roof open? At one point it was closed all afternoon and then to be open for the concert to be rained on.

Re: Coldplay tonight - Mill Stad keeping roof open
First album was alright at the time IMO.
Not enjoyed much by them since.
Their stuff seems very formulaic and so I imagine that makes them an easy band for some to like, without much effort, and thus for those same reasons, for others to dislike.

Re: Coldplay tonight - Mill Stad keeping roof open
Not my thing but Chris Martin has written some cracking songs over the years. Deserved success but very very easy listening pop, which is fine.

He's written one song and produced it about 75 times

First song I remember was Yellow, and I quite liked it, but they've been on repeat for the last 15 years.

As a songwriter, he is good. Lyrics are normally a bit cliche (not Noel standard, mind) but he knows how to write a melody.
Poor singer though, his bit in the Band Aid song always make me laugh when I hear it.

Clocks and Speed Of Sound are based on exactly the same thing, though.

Re: Coldplay tonight - Mill Stad keeping roof open
I thought they were good when they first came out. However, I'll be the first to admit I got that one wrong.
Pretentious, sappy nonsense.
And what's with the ****ing stupid clothes?

Quite right, I don't think there's any one about at the moment who is as good as Noel Coward :thumbup:

I think the word "bland" was invented for Coldplay.

Re: Coldplay tonight - Mill Stad keeping roof open
I suppose when Coldplay look at their bank balances, the opinions of a few bitchy Cardiff City fans on a 2 bit message board pale into significance. 😂

Queen were a superb rock band first three albums sublime heart threnching sounds saw them live in the Capital Theatre as good as a punk gig ,then they discovered money could be easily had in musical pop and big cheesy ""we will rock you "" type anthem sounds , with swaying lighter crowds ,then onto the West End drivel.

I'm honestly not a Coldplay 'fan' as such, yet I've somehow found myself at three of their gigs with various girlfriends :hehe:
Like others on the thread, their early stuff suggested a quirky indie type band which I liked but they've since changed into a hugely mainstream 'catch-all' type band. Regardless, they are great musicians, and the live shows are a real event with fireworks, balloons, ticker tape and unique LED wristbands for the crowd which light everything up in time with the music.
Glad the roof was closed as it absolutely lashed down last night. People going tonight will be a lot drier methinks!

Did any of the four members of Queen ever write a song with meaningful lyrics? Apart from the sentiments expressed by one of John Deacon's rare forays into songwriting, with '"You're My Best Friend"? I have listened to most of their stuff, post first three albums, and to my ears at least find them probably the most over-rated band of all time. And that is really saying something considering the other bands that could claim that accolade.
By the way, I never did see them live. I was going to go and see them playing Cardiff Castle in September '76, but it pissed down with rain that night. Being in school at the time, I probably decided to save my money for something more worthwhile, which if memory serves me well, was the best live band in the world in those days (sadly I never say Bad Company or Skynyrd at this time). Please step forward Phil Lynott & Co, and the Thin Lizzy 'Johnny The Fox' Tour of October '76

I have tended to go and see a band for their great songs, excellent lyrics sung by a good vocalist, and great musicianship. All the above bollocks is produced by bands that can't really cut it live, to help deflect the fact that they are a shite live attraction.

The lengths some people will go to for a shag
Even sludge has a line he won't cross

Re: Coldplay tonight - Mill Stad keeping roof open
The crowd in the Stadium would by far disagree with the handful of dissenters on here. As one of the world's most popular bands I doubt whether they would care very much if a few Cardiff City fans didn't like them.

rock is a broad church, and so are Queen - a band that are very diverse in their offering (sheer heart attack and lily of the valley are poles apart in musical styles and arrangement)

I'd go as far as saying a night at the opera and some of a day at the races were equal to the first three albums. Can't beat Queen II though, a truly great piece of music
