I tend to see it in different terms. Namely, every person has to settle each piece of art's claim to praise. I love art from the Renaissance but simply don't "see" or understand much of contemporary art. By analogy, the Beatles are pleasant, they just don't speak to me. My point is that many people are conditioned to believe that older art supersedes more recent art. I simply see it differently. Everyone that is an artist must follow their own voice. Same for artistic taste?
In Emerson's words: "Insist on yourself; never imitate. That which each can do best, none but his Maker can teach him. No man yet knows what it is, nor can, till that person has exhibited it. Where is the master who could have taught Shakspeare? Where is the master who could have instructed Franklin, or Washington, or Bacon, or Newton?" So too, it is, w/ one's musical taste. I live wholly from within. U2 and Coldplay are both better than the Beatles, period. No debate exists in me.
Coldplay is better than the Beatles, better than Led Zepplin better than the Rolling Stones. From whence comes this unfounded worship to music of the past, as if, in the end, music cannot be better with progress of the human mind?
The idea I have to "love" the Beatles because society says so is the joke. I like their music, but please. Coldplay is amazing- especially this song, Talk, Speed of Sound, Square One and Low. That is just me though.
@kmkfiction2 ive listened to metallica and U2 DOESN'T MEAN I GO AROUND AND COMPARE THEM AND SAY WHY I LIKE ONE AND WHY ITS BETTER THEN THE OTHER. HEY IM ALL FOR YOU NOT LIKEING THE BEATLES THAT'S FINE NOT EVERYONE IS GOING LIKE THE SAME STUFF BUT TO COMPARE THEM WHEN THEY COME FROM 2 DIFFERENT STYLES AND TIME PERIODS IN ANOTHER THING. Oh shit sorry about the caps lol. Just now caught that.
@kmkfiction2 because Led zep etc... have contributed significantly to music and other artists. Yes coldplay are amazing, but i wouldn't put them with these guys. Perhaps coldays older stuff. but their new stuff is shocking
Clearly, this is the best song in the whole entire existence of everything that has ever been and ever will be. The ending... super awesome as well. I'm smiling every second of the video. =) :-) :-D
"ready boys? hit me!!.... that's more like it!" = aural ecstasy before the song even starts, then the ending.... BRILLIANT. I don't care what anyone says Coldplay is the best band in the world. they sound amazing live, and so few bands sound better live than on the albums, which Coldplay manages. Coldplay = perfect. can't wait for lp5 =)
the best part of the song is when he sings "nothing else compares". The drag of his floating voice blends well with the wonderful and marching spirit of the piano riff... It actually made an wonderful intro to the last verse of the song..... converting the song into a staggering piece of beauty........
it took a huge amount of self control to not cheer along with the fans (that would have caused some raised eyebrows from my sister, doing her piano in the living room)
First concert in years for me and I will travel any distance to see them again! A group like this will in the end be remembered for their lyrics and wonderful unique sound. Viva Coldplay!
Have seen Coldplay perform live 10+ times over the years and was lucky to get to be in the first row for this that night... NO WORDS can describe the feeling... the ENERGY!!!!!! I swear I felt like I was having an outer body experience!!! It was freaking unbelievable!!! If you ever have a chance to see Coldplay live I highly recommend it. You will never forget it. If you're already a fan you will be in heaven... if you are not already one, you will quickly appreciate and become one!! :)
@nasTOgirl oh... and if it wasn't for Coldplay and their concerts making my heart feel so full, I wouldn't have met the guy in the first row standing beside me... he is going to be my 'husband' in a few days :)
@NumBaONeHaTeRz I know what you mean. I only think that Pink Floyd's concerts could best Coldplay's, just the sheer amazement and lights and spacey feeling, it makes you feel awesome.
Im not crazy about music like this, Im more of a hard rocking kind of guy, BUT when a song makes you get goosebumps and makes your imagination get going like this song does, that is when you know your listening to some REALLY great music. Great performance and song.
@Robboew speaking as one of the lucky ones who witnessed this performance, having the dvd of the entire concert is the best thing i will ever have, better than any pictures or memories. Because every time i watch this, it takes me right back there, and the good times I, along with everyone else there, had.
This almost brought me to tears. The surreality of the music Coldplay creates is beyond amazing, This is truly what true music is. Love you Coldplay! <3
tocan muy bien esto es realmente musica buena . me da asco ver como la gente joven se deja llevar por el reggeton y esos pendejos como daddy yanki entre otros, lo que tocan no es musica solo mierda y el unico mensaje es sexo
