    Are the other 3 members of Coldplay all mute?
    Don't think I've ever heard them speak.
       Nish Kumar does a routine about how being the drummer in Coldplay is best job in the world

    The XX doing You've Got The Love has got to be the worst live performance I've ever seen, and that includes Paul Shilling And Zodiac down the Pickwick on a Sunday afternoon.

    Coldplay might be OK at Glastonbury, but can they cut it on a cold Tuesday in February at the Old Tigers Head?

    Would you have preferred the mayor coming out and doing a set, seeing as him walking down the road was your standout part of the whole Pride extravaganza?

    Standout enough to mention it.

    In the short BBC coverage Khan featured at the front of the Pride march and I noticed it and said I liked it.
    I don’t know what game you’re playing here.

    Is there any point having titles on discussions here anymore? Even a nice music topic gets taken over!

    Shame about the sound issues with Lauper. Once the guitarist came to front of stage, she did improve. Superb set list even if it wasn't the greatest of performances.

    Not by me. I wrote a mild attempt at humour about Coldplay at the Tigers Head. Another poster got personal, and dare I say tried to be political.

    Far too much pop crap there now, plenty of festivals for that rubbish. 

    Best ones I’ve seen so far are Dexy’s, Little Simz and PJ Harvey. 

    As someone that been to the festival around a dozen times I thought I had no yearning to go again until I watched The Streets set last night, utterly brilliant.

    Probably not, as it looks like it has closed down (if you mean the one in Lee)

    I turned on as the streets was doing the flag thing and never seeing or hearing him before thought it was karaoke time.

    The New Tigers Head is gone, but the Old Tigers Head remains.

    I know musical taste is subjective & a personal preference, but I think Coldplay are the most boring band in the world!!   The Gareth Southgate of music.

    Never mind Yellow, more like Beige!!

    Went past yesterday and The Old Tigers head is boarded up and closed.

    Every year the legends remind everyone why they should stop singing live.

    It’s a painful experience. Shania’s voice really isn’t what it was and apart from the drummer I think the sound isn’t great.

    Well they get a lot of that kind of criticism and it's a popular theme.  Especially from talent-light comedians that only work on game shows.  I watched the Nish Kumar thing - it wasn't funny, even remotely - just jumping on a bandwagon on which there was already standing room only. In any event, he is wrong;  Bernie Taupin had the best job in the music industry - got the money, stayed anonymous and didn't even have to go on tour!

    Anyway I think such views are misplaced. Coldplay have made too many records and too much money over too many years for that to be the case. Sure they are not the most musically talented band ever but they do really put on a decent show and knock out decent albums.  What I saw of their Glasto gig was an excellent production.

    There are plenty more candidates out there for most boring band winners.  I have a whole list but we could start with Radiohead and The Smiths.

    Watched the Bloc Party and Bombay Bicycle Club sets on catch up last night. 

    The sound mix for Bloc Party was appalling. At times you could hear the drums and bass and nothing else. Guitars were too quiet as were the vocals.

    I was a big fan of Bombay Bicycle Club back in the day, but they bored me senseless. No energy around the set at all and far too many lo-fi numbers.

    Pretty much sums him up.
