The Free Coldplay Live Album

Everything is so RIGHT about this project that I think Joe Satriani should drop his lawsuit IMMEDIATELY!

Ultimately, it’s not about money, but FANS!

Granted, Coldplay’s making a shitload of cash, but they DESERVE IT!

The first rule of music is that it be ear-pleasing. Don’t beat up Coldplay because they include the special sauce, absent from so many indie rock hopes.

I liked “Yellow”. The second album was truly great. Then they lost me. But I’m gonna tell you my favorite cut from this new live album, “LeftRightLeftRightLeft”, is “Strawberry Swing”, from the last album, “Viva la Vida”.

I found the live show a bit thin. Just didn’t have that gut-busting rock feel, not enough bottom, too much top. It was like a date with no physical contact at the end, which the girls want as much as the boys.

What day? Who gives a fuck, I’m not that big a Coldplay fan.
