His wife was shocked when she saw that picture because she had no idea he's a Coldplay fan.

Maybe this is why they thought nobody would ever find out.
Don't know what's worse, being caught cheating and becoming a national meme because of it, or having it happen during a Cildplay concert.
I don't get why this is so big, wouldn't anybody be that embarrassed to be caught at a cold play concert?
I can't tell if this is sarcasm, so I'm gonna answer genuinely:
The two people in the pic are having an affair, that's the Astronomer CEO Andy Bryon and his Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot on a kiss cam, and they hid their faces once they were on the Jumbotron.

Cut Coldplay some slack, this was the funniest thing that's happened in a while. Plus, Parachutes is...fine...A Rush of Blood to the Head has a couple of good tracks. Everything after that is pretty trash, but those first two albums were good to mid.
I would say at the time they were solid good. They weren't technically very complex but who cares - half the bands at that time barely even played instruments, just banged out power chords and yelled into a mic. As far as pop music goes those albums were great in my opinion. Wouldn't talk about them in a music theory class, but we were lucky to have such solid albums getting radio play.
That's certainly how I feel about Parachutes. Solid little album, even if it's not reinventing the wheel. I feel more mixed about A Rush of Blood to the Head. Some of their best tracks are on that album (The Scientist may be their best song), but a lot of it is forgettable, and Clocks just sucks, don't know how that became a big single. I thought X&Y was pretty meh, and then I stopped listening.

I still haven't seen Wild at Heart. What am I doing with my life.
Hopefully watching Nick Cage's other marvellous movies. Pig, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, and Mandy are excellent.
Lord of War is unironically one of my favourite movies of all time
Yeah, another Cage gem.
carpe diem
The first 3 minutes of Wild at Heart are the best Nic Cage performance ever imo
Coldplay was termed Radiohead for your parents. I think that was accurate for their early career but now they're more like EDM for your parents or U2 for your great grandparents or something.
U2 was for your great grandparents lol.
Jk. It's impossible for people in 2025 to appreciate this, but when U2 first hit the scene, they were a fresh air alternative to the stale late '70s disco scene. And for kids like me with a burgeoning political awareness, they were heroes. Also, mullets. It's very difficult for me to accept how they turned into a bunch of tax-dodging cunts who produced a fucking Spiderman musical, of all things (probably as a tax dodge).
"This song is not a rebel song. This song is Sunday, bloody Sunday" or, better: fuck you and your mother. I will say what I want when I want.and call you fuckers out for all the bullshit you put us through. But, since these are the eighties i will do it somewhat politely.
Boy. October. War. Under a bloodred sky.
Somewhere along there they got lost and made the unfo. Still good but.. fuck Eno.
Then it all exploded with the Joshua tree. They became the biggest band on earth, almost imploded under their own weight during/after R&H. Reinvented themselves with Achtung Baby and Zooropa and became what we have nowadays.
But that glorious beginning, the rage, the pain. The angst of our entire generation in those three albums with bloodred sky as the magnificent encore. The Magnus opus.
It was nothing like them now. I can't even name their last albums.

Radiohead has been parent music for awhile now gtfo
Of course, the arrow of time remains unchanged.
But what did change is the type of music Coldplay made. They went from Radiohead-lite to whatever you want to call that crap now.

Coldplay good. Fight me
I dont love them, or ever even hit play on them myself, but that is true of a lot, if not most good music. And when I hear them on the radio, yea, its def not bad music.
Meme still funny tho. They are suburban mom pop.
Certainly not worth fighting for.
Or getting a divorce for.

From what I understand, Coldplay was what played in suburban minivans 20 years ago when the drivers were driving their kids to taekwondo practice.
Also, apparently they’re the one band that’s not officially Christian Rock that’s huge with US Christians.
Um… what the fuck. This is literally how I was initially exposed to Coldplay.
Out of touch, suburban mom driving kids around on errands and dropping them off at their extracurriculars.
Why are they so big with Christians? I've seen that too and can't explain it
Because they are generic and don't curse.

Meh. There’s by far more mediocre bands with some fame than Coldplay. At least Coldplay isn’t one of the “hype” entertainers like Bieber that need constant press coverage to stay relevant or a band that will play anything and have no real sound of their own like OneRepublic.
I liked old Coldplay. The new stuff is just generic pop music.
At this point you have to specify which old era, I'm going pre 2004.
A rush of blood to the head and XY if I recall correctly.
People don't like Coldplay??
It’s basically a meme to dunk on Coldplay. Like with Nickleback.
No nobody. All the massive crowds and millions of albums they’ve sold aren't real. Haven’t you read the comments in this thread which represent the limits of awareness?
They're kind of soulless. But I think most people just don't like Chris Martin.
