[OT] Coldplay did it again?
I don’t know if everyone heard the 2nd song, but it was massive here in the 90’s
Creative process of cold play:
Research for hits outside USA and uk, not very massive but with catchy melodies, then copy, make it sound like well produced and voila
I heard both songs this morning and it’s sad, this is what music is coming to nowadays. This is exactly why I hate so mainstream artists. I liked coldplay when they first came out but I don’t care for them anymore. No originality, no creativity.
Edit: The Sacados covered
Who was inspired by
And the recycling industry saves the day again.
I suppose there are only so many chord progressions that will actually sound good…
funny you should say that…

Hahaha, I’ve seen something about that before, but that is fantastically executed!
I dont believe any of it.
I domt think Coldplay need to nick other peoples stuff.
Coincidence and, maybe a tune gets stuck in someones head and it ends up influencing them during the writing process.
I just dont think Coldplay need to copy people. If you dont like Coldplay (i dont imagine many do on DJTT) thats cool but they have made some good indie/pop. I mean, you may not like the tune “Yellow” but its a classic song that millions love. I just dont think they are that dried up or talentless to copy stuff.
forgot who said it: good artist create, great artist steal.
Not at all saying Coldplay is great, I find them boring, but that seems to be the rule for creatives in many fields.
To be honest im just scared that my g/f will see me slagging Coldplay cus shes an uber fan :-/
coldplay is shit! just another Radiohead wannabe
Coldplay sound nothing like Radiohead. Never have, shit or not.
+1. I had a big coldplay phase in my teens, don’t listen to them any more but I have respect for them. Radiohead on the other hand, will always be awesome.
had to be done, sorry…
whether you like coldplay or not (i don’t)
kind of odd to see people on a DJ board call them out for sampling a melody, considering EDM and Hiphop artists are notorious for being the biggest offenders of this.
+1 (well said)
I like Coldplay and continue to be grateful that it’s them we are still hearing and not those awful f#ckers Travis.
lol “travis”, what a crap name for a band.
what was Stephen and Robert already taken?
I believe they wanted to call themselves ‘The Ambivalent Drones’ but the record company said, “No, just use the name of your first Biology teacher”
zz top only use two chords
