Same thing.

Coldplay stink. I saw them three times at HFS events back in the day. They went from an opening slot at the HFSmas Nutcracker in 2001 to headlining it in 2002. Both times I was not enthused. Nickelback was at the 2001 one and I thought they had the better show!

Then I saw them at an HFStival and they put on a slightly better show. A lightning storm was going on outside of the city and it made it cooler(?). But so many other bands killed it that day (Social D, Foo Fighters, NY Dolls, Billy Idol etc) to make their performance negligible.

I was at that lightning show and it was pretty good.  I don't mind them at all.  Here is my video of them doing a tribute to REM, so you guys can hate them some more
;D

Yes it does! I had no idea who Nickelback really was at that point. I remember the bass drum had a pot leaf on it and Chad Kroeger wore a white t-shirt also with a pot leaf emblazoned on it. I was hoping they would be cool but they sounded like a watered down Seven Mary Three but that was still better than Coldplay at the time haha.

My eight year old wannabea music daughter's halftime show commentary:

"In 20 years music is gonna be way better 'cause I'm gonna change it."

awww… how cute.


I remember when I thought the same thing

Gotta say that the camera work for Bruno and Beyonce was amazing. Felt like you were right in the middle of them shaking a tailfeather. And the MVP of the entire halftime show was Bruno and his boys' tailor. We were all in awe of those leather suits.

Poor Chris Martin. He just tried SO HARD to be BIG BIG BIG and then Beyonce just steps up and shows him how a star does it. Coldplay needed to bring some RAWK to this, not try and envelope the world with their ethereal love vibes.

I'm not a Gaga fan but her anthem completely destroyed everyone in that halftime show, Queen B included.

Why have we not gotten Taylor Swift to headline one of these yet (possibly with Carly Rae and Kesha cameo-ing)?

in the butt?

I hate it when singers think they have to sing the national anthem as an audition for American Idol. Subtlety is always the best way to go.

this made me lol

it's a shame he didn't fall on chris and break his vocal cords
and what a bunch of light weights…there were 12 unopened bottles of champagne on their table

thanks for keeping hatred of coldplay alive
