Coldplay Falls Asleep During Own Concert
This past Tuesday during a show at Red Rocks, the band Coldplay gradually and eventually all fell asleep during one of their songs (something about "changing the world" or "making a better world" or "the girl is my world"). Some of them rested their heads on their instruments, while others went the horse route and just fell asleep standing up. The crowd began cheering to wake them up, but the band just slept right through it, staying stationary for the remainder of the concert. After about ten minutes, many people started filing out and eventually the band woke up to an empty venue.
The fans were not as upset as one might think, though, despite the fact that their money was not returned to them. We were kind of relieved, because we all had to get up early the next morning for class, say all the fans. Yeah, were all in high school.
The band opened with Yellow, which went off without a hitch. Yellow is my favorite song by us, says lead singer Chris Martin, Actually, I would say its the only song by us that I like. Once we got into the other songs, I think we all just sort of lost interest. In retrospect, we probably should have played Yellow last so we would have had something to look forward to.
Martin doesnt speak for the entire band, though. Drummer Will Champion points out, Im actually a huge fan of the band. I like all our songs. I just didnt sleep much the night before and I think I had a bad pear for breakfast.
Im with Chris, says lead guitarist Jonny Buckland. We just dont really do anything for me. And to be completely honest, for that first year, I thought I was actually inRadiohead.
Clearly, the band is not especially phased by the incident and will continue to rock the collective youth. I want to say Im embarrassed, says Martin, but thats just the price you pay formaking music and playing it at concerts. Buckland quicklypointed out that they didnt actually play any music. Then they broke up.
Hahaha! Hilarious, dude. Good Job.
ReplySome of the haters are overreacting.
The idea is good, but I've seen better writing in a highschool newspaper

ReplyFantastic!
Sure cody isn't consistantly funny, but I think it's the new faggot ass fad on cracked comments section to blast the shit out of this poor mother fucker. Yeah he writes some bad shit from time to time but honestly, 95 percent of these trolls couldn't write more than the comments box allows them, and it's never actually funny.
ReplyThis...this is shit, dude. Not funny at all. Coldplay's like one of my favorite bands.
ReplySo what, this is still awesomely funny!
"We didn't do anything for me" fantastic
A foolproof plan for you to like this article: Replace all references to Coldplay and it's members with a band you dislike and it's members. There, all fixed up.
I hate your work, was that meant to be comedy or a resiting of an event that was funny but tried to take credit for it cause u cant make ur own work up? very sad, Cracked is losing people cause of u. You are nothing like the others and never will be!
Reply...Says the retarded f*g that can't even spell basic words right. What is it, high schooler? Can't you stand that people mock you?
So true!
ReplyWin. Coldplay sucks hardcore.
Reply“Yeah, we’re all in high school.”
ReplyThat figures. Lol.
nyahahaha you've still got it cody dude
ReplyIn an attempt to miss the point - haha, no. An American complaining about Coldplay (who are far from bad and admittedly a little less far from boring) is insanely retarded when the best chart music you can give us is invariably flow rider or tracks 1-222 inclusive of I am sasha fierce (wtf). Again and again. Forever.
ReplyMake some decent pop music with guitars and get back to us. Kthx
Hilarious stuff... 32_20's comment not the crap Cody posted.
