Guest BigThompers Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Not really like. A 20 page kid Rock thread is embarrassing. Muse are infinitively better than Coldplay. Ok of course they are. Just not as popular or successful. I'll take 30 million opinions ahead of some sweaty student mongs. Thanks. Which is why you're a sheep and your opinion doesn't count for much. Muse = Best live band in the world... Coldplay = Music yer mam likes What a tool. Coldplay aren't even my favorite band. So the old "omg sheep" fucking wanker argument doesn't wash you utter embarrassment to yourself. I say they're the biggest band in the world today because they simply are, not because I enjoy their music. You're a fucking moron you. Can tell you're from Mackemville. you're from Durham aren't you thompers lad ? Anyway, loads of bands > Coldplay, including Genesis, Led Zep, Fleetwood Mac, Moody Blues, Beatles [all conquered the states]........ Led Zeppelin can be the biggest band in the world when ever they want. Like the 02 Gig, how many millions were after 18000 tickets priced at £175 each? Can they? Great, but they aren't though are they, Coldplay are. Until Led Zep decide otherwise that is. Mongface. I would say Radiohead are easily bigger than coldplay anyway. Would ya. Nice, but they aren't. Simple as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeazesMag 0 Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 you're from Durham aren't you thompers lad ? So is Bobby Robson. Thompers is from Newton Aycliffe/Bishop way I thought. Bobby is from Sacriston, tbh. Is that not in Durham like? Born in Sacriston but he grew up in Langley. Nah, I nearly moved into a house there last year, quite a trek it is! you mean you actually live in a house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14013 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Linkin Park have sold 50 million records. That's 20 million more than Coldplay... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BigThompers Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Linkin Park have sold 50 million records. That's 20 million more than Coldplay... The majority of which were sold on their 2000 album, making them a declining band... Coldplay have got bigger with each album, meaning TODAY BOLD ITALICS - they are the biggest band in the world.
