To think that Chris Martin is sweet!

Never been particularly interested in Coldplay, but having watched Chris Martin’s online at home gig this week, I am definitely going to one of their concerts when all this is over.

Loved watching him play stuff, sing, make mistakes and laugh about everything. His enthusiasm and happiness are infectious and he seems disarmingly positive, honest and kind. Says he doesn’t like going to bed as he finds life too interesting. Wish I felt like that, or did something as creative as what he does!

YANBU to find him sweet. He annoys the fuck out of me though. But each to their own Smile

Love him!

rayoflightboy · 21/03/2020 00:45

I really shouldnt like him,but i do.Hes not as annoying as i thought.And he comes across as funny and genuine.

ArabellaRockerfella · 21/03/2020 00:47

Very sweet and genuine. I'd like to marry him! Wink

Casino218 · 21/03/2020 01:02

I think I would go to bed late thinking life was sweet if I was as loaded as him!

wildthingsinthenight · 21/03/2020 01:03

Oh he's lovely. Seemed nervous and went red at one point.
Loved it!

I'd like to marry him!

Hmm - the same thought might have crossed my mind but I am 8 years older than him (and that’s the only thing getting in the way of it happening of course Grin).

I think I would go to bed late thinking life was sweet if I was as loaded as him!. Yes there is that Grin.

Why does he annoy you @BritishHorrorStory?

@Casino218 my thoughts exactly Grin

Loved this, thanks for sharing!

Haha! Me too!
He's obviously a good bloke though!

LizziesTwin · 22/03/2020 06:13

I watched him too & was really impressed, he came over so well. Coldplay are v unusual as a band as they all share all rye music & lyrics rights so make the same money unlike in many bands.

Albern · 22/03/2020 06:33

Thanks for this, its fantastic!!

Lifeisgenerallyfun · 22/03/2020 06:47

Tbh I find him one of the most annoying people and I have to turn the tv over if he appears (which seems to be at ever opening of an envelope).

But it would be boring if we all liked the same things so you are definitely not being unreasonable.

I loved the tribute Coldplay did at Glastonbury for Viola Beach - the young band who died in a car accident. Pure class.

Helpmechangemymindsetplease · 22/03/2020 07:33

Loved this, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for this, its fantastic!!

You’re welcome Smile. It makes me happy every time I watch it. There’s something about the songs in the raw as it were which is lovely. Also love watching him play the piano so effortlessly.

Thanks for the link to the Viola Beach tribute @LaureBerthaud Smile.

Thanks for that OP. Entertained me for half an hour.

GoldBoo · 22/03/2020 07:41

That Viola Beach tribute is lovely. I thought Coldplay also did a great job at the One Love concert.

I think he’s great. Seems genuine, cheerful.

I8toys · 22/03/2020 16:36

I like him as a person. Loved their first album and then it went a bit too commercial for me.

ViciousJackdaw · 22/03/2020 16:38

Nah, not if he's into shoving jade eggs up women's chuffs.

ShirleyPhallus · 22/03/2020 16:39

He seems like he should be incredibly irritating and smug and id hate him for that

But he actually comes across as a really nice guy. So I’m conflicted.

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 22/03/2020 16:42

I loved his carpool Karoke with James Corden

BeetrootRocks · 22/03/2020 16:43

I'm no Coldplay fan but that's really nice.

SuefromBudgeting · 23/03/2020 08:57

Thanks for sharing that, OP.

I never get why Chris Martin/Cold Play are viewed as uncool. Spending 25yrs touring the world playing to sold out stadiums with your best mates seems pretty cool to me!

Helpmechangemymindsetplease · 23/03/2020 09:13

You’re welcome. I didn’t realise they were viewed as uncool?

Watching that makes me really happy I might be watching it quite a lot
