Coldplay
is ready to call it quits. I guess they want to get out while they're still on top. Chris Martin recently said that the band won't keep going when they get old. And yes, he considers 33 to be old.

"I'm 31 now and I don't think that bands should keep going past 33. So, we're trying to pack in as much as possible. Up until the end of next year, we'll just go for it in every sense.

"I don't believe in time off. We've still got most of our hair, we can still fit into our musical trousers and we've got to make the most of that."

god knows why he didn't just cop out and say that he wants to spend time with his family? i mean at least that would be honorable. but whatever gets them off the tv and radio is fine by me.

it ain't like they were paving new sounds that u2 and radiohead hadn't already beat into the ground

11/20/2008 7:16:52 PM

meh.

11/20/2008 7:33:36 PM

Some of there stuff is enjoyable to listen to. Still don't know how they got so popular.

despite what you might think of Coldplay, I wish more bands would follow suit and just fucking quit when the creative juices run absolutely dry.

hi, Aerosmith.

hi, Red Hot Chili Peppers.

hi, Rolling Stones.

hi, just about every rock band that's been around for the last 20 years.

11/23/2008 1:19:35 PM

hi, Smashing Pumpkins

11/23/2008 2:46:58 PM

there are older bands still putting out good music, tool for instance

^and seriously, I don't know if you're a fanboy, but Tool is about 30% as good as they once were.

"musical trousers" is an awesome term

oh well, I'm not ashamed of liking Coldplay even with their over-saturation on TV lately and those queer ass uniforms they wear all the time now.

They'll never put out an album better to Parachutes to me but it would still suck if they quit. I can see how they wouldn't be for everybody, but I don't see how they've become the symbol of bad music to everybody lately when there are soooo many bands worse than they are. I guess they're just the new U2, they put out critically acclaimed records and sell out stadiums on world tours, but for some reason, they're not considered a "cool" band.

I have to disagree with the tool quote, if anything, I think Tool has gotten a hell of a lot better since the opiate days.

11/24/2008 9:04:58 PM

opiate's the only one i still rock out from time to time

but probably cause i had that junk on tape in 1992 and it's got a nostalgia flava for me

11/24/2008 10:20:17 PM

i rock out to rosetta stoned daily

11/25/2008 2:07:31 AM

I enjoy all of the tool albums. As far as their last 3 albums which were all kind of tackling a similar soundscape, Ænima > Lateralus > 10,000 days imo

11/25/2008 7:37:05 AM

10,000 days is my favorite tool album without a doubt.

11/25/2008 8:03:37 AM

n00b

11/25/2008 8:08:17 AM

because I think Tool was better 2-3 albums ago, I'm an elitist?

tsk tsk. . you kids and your blanket labels. Tool used to be one of my favorite bands. Easily top 5. I just don't think they're as good anymore. It's what we in Actual Land call opinion.

11/25/2008 9:03:44 AM

Ænima is an unfair benchmark. The bar was set very high with that one.

That being said, Tool still is producing great music.

Vicarious and especially Jambi have shown us that.

11/25/2008 9:38:44 AM

i love how a coldplay topic has turned into a discussion on tool...ha.







in light of that, i love every tool record. strangely i tend to prefer lateralus.

[Edited on November 25, 2008 at 10:57 AM. Reason : .]

11/25/2008 10:57:32 AM

and there was much rejoicing.

your opinion is wrong, sir

11/25/2008 11:49:55 AM

Lateralus is my personal fave as well.
Followed VERY closely by Aenima.
and 10,000 days has a lot of really good tracks, but also quite a few I usually skip.

I was at Alex Grey's museum in NYC a couple of weekends ago, and he has copy of Lateralus on vinyl there signed by the bandmembers. They all wrote a small message, and Maynard's just said "moooo...." Just thought that was funny.

11/25/2008 11:51:15 AM

^^^you called me a name.

yes, yes I am defensive, fellow who has never met me.

11/25/2008 6:21:17 PM

i hate tool

but they're sure as hell better than coldplay

so kudos to the posters who derailed this one
