Since then, to me, he has been a dinosaur and a sell-out. And that's his right, but can't take him seriously anymore. He seems a bit weasel-y these days. Like Slash. At least Axl's always been honest about himself being a bit of a dick. But yeah, this? Don't care either way. Are you people serious? First, it's a charity event. 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 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Len Cnut Posted September 22, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2018 I don't think Duffs a prick. He's just a fuckin' well adjusted grown up musician. Yeah its probably not as exciting as the pissed up GnR bassist with the Sid Vicious complex and the exploding pancreas but hey, you want him alive or do you want a legend? As far as all this sell out shit, grow up, the guys in his fuckin' late 40s, what fuckin' alternative underground outlaw thing was he connected to that he's suddenly sold out, he was a member of one of the biggest rock bands, if not the biggest, of his time, signed to a major record label doing great big MTV vids, what is it that you think he's selling out? Musicians don't give a fuck, they just wanna play mostly and there are any number of examples of GnR members playing with some pretty fuckin' incongruous people, so what, they're musicians, its what they do, hook up with other cunts who like to play also and then just play. Hasn't Axl been fuckin' with someone from The Cure once upon a time? And Elton John, how cool was he ever? Hasn't Slash played with Cypress Hill? (who i think are great but I'm sure some of you greasy metallers can't stand em). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I get the impression that Duff is a bit hen-pecked. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsapple Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 You speak of Coldplay as if they were Nickelback. Chris Martin is one hell of a songwriter, just listen to "Violet Hill", "Talk" or "Me And Tennessee". If you like a good song and can't give these a nod just because they don't "rock" then you are deaf and braindead. He's no Richard Ashcroft but to be fair I've seen songwriters worse than Martin in the past 20 years. That Coldplay SOUND though is another thing, sort of the shallow side of mellow taylored to the zombie hipsters. Duff does the right thing in joining musicians outside the "classic rock" box every now and then. It's cooler than Axl singing with fucking Pink.

Not cringeworthy, hilarious. I actually considered getting one IMO Duff can play with anyone he wants to, no big deal... Though Coldplay (and C. Martin) is as vanilla as it gets. I find it baffling that people call them a rock band. Each to their own, I guess. Edited September 22, 2018 by Fourteenbeers 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Wait. What? We're dogging Duff for playing at a charity event now? Who gives a shit who else is playing in the band. Good on Duff for showing support for a charity. Jesus, some of you are hilarious with your need to stretch everything into a reason to be mad at GNR members lol. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a charity event after all Chris Martin is singled out here because the OP took a positive story, found the one thing he didn't like about it and created a thread using that as the headline. Again, I've corrected the thread title to actually reflect the news story and not one aspect of it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janrichmond Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 How come Coldplay are so hated? Not that i'm a fan or anything but is there something specific that winds everyone up? Is it a trend thing maybe? Wasn't it cool to hate Bono - is that still a thing?- is there a point when you think 'actually whatsisname ain't that bad' and get over it? I dunno, maybe i'm thinking too much 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulMonster Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Radiohead is great. But it is slightly more to grasp than your average cock rock and leather rock bands. I mean, they can't all be Manowar and Slash. Early U2 was great, too. They actually had an edge at some time. But maybe you had to be there to put it in context. Coldplay is a bit too contourless for me, but it take all kinds... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I want to underline the level of aggression in this thread is nuts, from both sides: people who criticize Duff (when I first read the title I thought he was actually joining a real band with Chris Martin ) and people who scold the ones who complain ('pathetic', 'braindead', etc) I mean... chill out!

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
