Chris Martin's Brain

Artist:

Album:Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends

Track:
For what you are about to read, let me first preface by saying that I mean no offense to any fan of Coldplay's, and especially no offense to anybody who is religious on any level. This is strictly in jest to the artists across the pond that are rapidly cascading downwards on my list of likable artists.
From SPIN magazine:
"So, does Coldplay think Viva La Vida can save EMI? 'No, but it'll probably save the world,' Chris Martin deadpans. 'I don't want to blow my own trumpet, but I'd be surprised if it didn't put an end to all violence and suffering.' "
Kidding or not, this, combined with evidence that Coldplay steals other people's songs is one reason why

Hahahahaha, great post and I was unaware Mr. Martin was going to save us all.
Is that picture Chris Martin being visited by the spirit of Johnny Cash?!? Heehee
Kev- thanks man... and now you know... and knowing... is half the battle [by the way what's the other half, I've always wondered]
Dale - well, Johnny lives in Chris' head now, so maybe he was jockeying for power and possessed Chris for a minute. If only we could have a few million more of those minutes.
oh...my.....goodness....hahaha, this was hilarious and yet all so true....the woman on the bus to work a few weeks ago screamed at me that i was going to purgatory...he's after me....i dont wanna die :(....
ahahhaahahhahaha you are marvelous!
I'll have whatever Martin is having....
You're an idiot.
ouch!
He could be talking to Chris Martin, for all we know ;P
No, I'm talking to the person who took this much time and effort to bash these musician's songs and albums; and from the sound of it, not put a single intelligent thought into criticizing them.
seriously [person with default MOG picture]?
So the opening paragraph on this post didn't forewarn you enough that this post was purely sarcasm? Honestly, I meant/mean no offense to anyone, but apparently you took it as such. This post was a joke, follow the other comments, people laughing... humor... laughter... it's the best medicine.
I don't hate Coldplay, but I do think that their lyrics are lacking any type of substance, which by your last comment about putting intelligence into this POST should maybe ring a bell? Perhaps? Just a little? Nothing about Coldplay is complex or challenging, which is why they appeal to the masses... which is why Viva La Vida... is one of the top 2 albums on iTunes... look at the others in the top 10. 2 words.... CAMP...ROCK... and to rub it in further... top 10 songs include your boys iTunes commercial hit "Viva La Vida" is among such intellectually stimulating artists such as Miley Cyrus, The Pussycat Dolls and the Jonas Bros.
I ain't knocking Coldplay's formula, in fact, I might even be a little jealous... because I don't have the curly coiffe that Chris Martin does nor do I have his chops... BUT... see this is what web 2.0 is all about son... knocking the artists that get the fame and attention we all want , right? [note: that's another example of sarcasm] It's all about freedom of speech... and more importantly, freedom of OPINION. At age 22, I thought Coldplay was pretty damn good. 7 years later, I think they are elementary and they represent commercialism more than art. So before you make it personal and say I'm an idiot, I suggest you throw out some of your opinions via your MOG page (as in make a post and/or install MOG-o-Matic) and let's see what you are putting down.
I've noticed this type of thing on YouTube too... people are so quick to negatively comment on others' content, yet they are too afraid to post anything original or, dare I say it, potentially controversial themselves.
