Andy J Gallagher - Something Else

[Janicemaxwell]

Pretty FREAKING COOL. Loved it and I liked the song too. Had a very good groove to it also. Why do many dislikes?? I don't get it.

[girlonlaptop]

when are you playing in L.A.?

[psyxobgalths]

well done!

[JulieJulle]

... But the discussion made some attention to this video!..

[JulieJulle]

I liked your report/respons ;D

[IDIDITDAMN]

but if you guys are still arguing about a copy, you just have to remember that a-ha with "take on me" started with all of this, animation with real people (doesnt matter if today they use different techniques, still the same main idea, interaction between animation/drawing and real people), so stop bitching and lets everyone pay royalties to aha! LOL, get over people.

[IDIDITDAMN]

in fact, i think andy j's video is better than coldplay, more entertaining...

[IDIDITDAMN]

I think the idea is the same, but made in a different way, so its not a copy.

[megettinghi]

freshryan 4 we have a name for people like you its.......wait fot it............COCK.........bes­t band of our decade get back in the middle of the road where you belong

[MrMusoDude]

Some of these comments are hilarious! Last year, a good video was made by a small band with some great ideas. A year later, a mega-band puts their name to a video with distinct similarities, yet somehow the small band are the bad guys????? How does that work?

Coldplay are talented song writers and decent musicians; but I can't believe they themselves would be happy with some of the comments posted in their 'support'. They were small once.

[ilovealias4ever]

What does budget have to do with story idea?

And why be so aggressive in your attacks? Every comment you've made, RJ, has not once been backed up by any evidence except anecdotal.

I think it's time for you to leave this alone.

[damienholden]

hang on a minute i've just checked out shynola who made coldplays video and they are based in hackney where andys video was filmed seems a bit suspect to me !

[MrMusoDude]

Isn't it wonderful how in the creative mind the threads of so many disparate ideas can come together forming an inspired artistic whole? And isn't it remarkable how so many similar ones came together in two music videos barely a year apart?

[littlebirl]

Inspired by Andy J Gallagher. Nothing wrong!

[Bunny11743]

Where does it say he's claiming to have invented stop motion animation? I'd be interested to know your source as nothing I've read suggests this...

[damienholden]

Its blatant to see coldplay have ripped this off ok their budget for their video is obviously much more and the artwork is better but the chalk idea has come from this video surely give the poor bloke a chance instead of letting big bands like coldplay come in and take nugges peoples ideas credit where credits due i for one will go and buy this song good luck andy a star in the making obviously these coldplay fans only like one band rather than variety !

[angedediamant]

Oh, damn, I put another will. XD

[Bunny11743]

Strawberry Swing is done better but I expect Coldplay had a bigger budget and if this was just 2 chalk animation videos I dont think Andy would have a case. But looking at the 2nd half of his video, there are lots of similarities: flying, tunnelling (& passing skeletons), defending against attacks with a dustbin lid/umbrella etc. I suspect that whoever made Coldplays video must have seen this one and developed the idea. I think Andy J Gallagher deserves recognition, not vilification!

[bigchiefcampbell]

not with scripts this close....... it may not be coldplay themselves but it still under their name........case closed.

[billmillerman]

so plz dont try to convince me that they suck, cause im not buying any know it all crap, im just wondering if maybe cause im in the US i dont get this whole "coldplay is a commercial radio band" thing..

[bigchiefcampbell]

yeah right because radio 1 told you so........must be true......imbeciles.....

[bigchiefcampbell]

Get over it you idolise talentless thieves who only bore pathetic generic radio audiences......bloody students

[LowleyUK]

talentless? what a ridiculous statement. they have sold over 40 million albums worldwide. they are the best band in the world.

[bigchiefcampbell]

This video has been up for a year now n them chumps coldplay only done there video 2 mths ago so as usual its coldplay who are ripping of ideas from genuinely original and tallented artists so go write that on you're hands.......

[megettinghi]

what are you idiots on about..i think coldplay have forgoten how to be original ask 'Sach'.....this guy clearly deserves the publicity and good luck to him!

[joecrib]

if they hadnt made a video using a similar technique, you wouldnt have got this publicity.

swings and roundabouts :-)

[NYsmiLez]

this video is better than anything chris martin could ever come up with himself.

[MrAndypye]

good vid andy,me che & pete watching it in sunny dubai.good luck mate

[psyxobgalths]

I really likethat song, I think it could be famous. :)

[annikadson]

[thoughtbeast]

I like the raw sound of the song. Also, the video is really good. It must have took a long time to make!

[aspiandy]
