- My Chemical Romance are definitely purveyors of melodramatic, adolescent, exhibitionist goth pop, but that’s what we love about them. Watching this (beautiful and elegantly filmed) video for the band’s UK single “I Don’t Love You” makes us feel sixteen all over again, which is nice for four minutes and eight seconds.
- We’d submit to teasing at the hands of Karen O any day of the…you get what we’re saying. Karen (or someone who sounds like her) has apparently posted a message on the news section of the band’s Web site in which she announces that the band will be working together again soon. “We are about to be reunited in NYC for the rest of March,” O writes, “working on a savory project that we hope all of you will dig into eventually, second helpings advised — you’ll hear more from us very very soon in regards to this…” Soon is so not soon enough.
- Sad: That Italian GNR site, which threatened to shut down in protest of the Chinese Democracy release-not-released drama, has finally made good.
- Hey hip-hop community! As someone who has been into rock bands a little longer than you, when we tell you that Coldplay suck, can you just believe us and stop trying to work with Chris Martin? Swizz Beatz whose solo album, One Man Band Man, is out May 15, has announced that he’s collaborated with Coldplay on the track “Part of the Plan.” The video for the track will, ideally, be based on Crash, which is appropriate because if Coldplay were going to be a movie they would so be Crash, the most bloated, sanctimonious, pretentious film ever made.
- For once Madonna is following in Britney’s footsteps by getting in trouble with the press for not buckling her kids into car seats. US Weekly reports that Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie were spotted loading up their brood into an Escalade outside of L.A.’s Kabbalah Centre on March 2nd. They did not, allegedly, buckle up David. What’s next? Madge reaches for the clippers?

You people suck…Not only is Coldplay brilliant, refreshing, creative, extremly gifted musically, capable of awesome lyrics.. etc.. The are also very good human beings.. I know this first hand.. They were kind to myself and my fiance Chad whom is recovering from a serious injury a couple years ago… blah, blah, blah.. I am tired of the old.. That isnt good rock and roll crap.. Music is an art .. rock and roll doesnt have the market on it..( I do love rock and roll)..Open your mind to Coldplay.. They are loved by the world..

Thank God his hair is back to black and he is not wearing that lame ass band out fit. I like this vid way more than black parade. I shall have to indulge my husband on this one and say “it is good stuff”

My Chemical Romance? The only thing they romance are eachother’s cocks.
matt | 3/8/2007, 9:43 pm EST
“makes you feel sixteen”? Isn’t that the EXACT phrase you used to describe a (boring and stupid) new Fall Out Boy video not one month ago?
Niko | 3/8/2007, 9:24 pm EST
lefty: that lyric always pops out as odd and random to me, that’s all.
Hunter | 3/8/2007, 9:06 pm EST
Not big on the song, but the video is pretty bad ass when viewed on mute. Really helps you look at the film theory stuff. Anyone else ever do that when analyzing a film? watch it with no sound and a lot of the visual nuance becomes more clear.
Danielle | 3/8/2007, 8:54 pm EST
well i loved this music video
lefty | 3/8/2007, 8:34 pm EST
Niko: I don’t get it? Why is that funny?
(sorry if that is really stupid!)
Niko | 3/8/2007, 7:09 pm EST
so take your gloves and get out? oh hahahaha!

I love when Rolling Stone bags Coldplay… if they hate them so much I’d suggest going back and rewriting the glowing reviews you at Rolling Stone gave each Coldplay CD. The lowest score… a 3.
If you feel ok saying that you like My chemical Romance, then you should feel fine saying you like Coldplay. At least the later doesn’t wear guy-liner.

AMAZING VIDEO.
PLEASE GIVE THEM A COVER ROLLING STONE!!!!

What G n’R drama?!? Chinese Democracy came out two days ago!

Honestly, over the twenty years (wow it has been that long) that I have read your articles, one thing is for sure, your cynicism and negativity continue to amaze me.Coldplay has become pretentious, full of themselves, and even quite mediocre, but they put out a hell of a lot better music and work towards helping this earth a hell of a lot more than most bands you have worshiped. Yeah yeah yeah, Rolling Stone is about rock and roll and culture, but get with the times, rock and roll is globalized and an olive branch for the world’s misgivings and errs. I know RS does many things for the environment and politics but give these bands some due, they are trying to do the same. I think that this will be the new rock and roll reborn from a generation of 60s and 70s rock greats.
If there is anyone who is bloated, past their prime, and suck, you’re looking the lucky devil right in the face everytime you catch your reflection off your computer screen as you pen these wonderful opinions. Keep writing RS….

Wow Liz, didn’t know you had such a hate for Coldplay…or Crash for that matter
Oddjob | 3/8/2007, 4:41 pm EST
For once I really love what the RS blogger wrote (re: Coldplay and Crash). I don’t have the hate for Coldplay you do (although they are quite overrated), but that movie “Crash” SUUUUUUCKS
Jake | 3/8/2007, 4:12 pm EST
You claim that Coldplay suck, but you put Fall Out Boy and Panic! At The Disco on the cover. Is there something wrong here, or is it just me?
Roth Can't perform at HOF | 3/8/2007, 4:02 pm EST
How did that old Van Halen song go? “I found the simple life ain’t so simple … ” The iconic Los Angeles metal band is set to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at a lavish New York banquet Monday night, but now it appears that only one original member, bassist Michael Anthony, will even show up.
David Lee Roth, the band’s frontman for its first decade, said Thursday he will not attend the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel ceremony because event officials have turned down his repeated overtures to perform.
“I don’t make speeches for a living; I sing and dance for my dinner,” Roth said, adding that the decision to skip the event “rips my heart out.”
The hall of fame’s event organizers plan for Velvet Revolver to perform some Van Halen classics, much as Metallica stood in last year to play Black Sabbath songs while that band’s members watched from the audience. “So it appears this is a television producer’s decision,” Roth said.
The choice of Velvet Revolver was in response to a sticky situation as far as what lineup of Van Halen could take the stage to perform with Roth. Van Halen’s revered guitar hero, Eddie Van Halen, and his brother, drummer Alex, had already sent signals that they would not be in New York. The Van Halens have been in lock-down mode since their plans for a summer reunion tour with Roth collapsed last month. Roth said he last spoke to Eddie Van Halen’s camp a week ago, and he said he could not determine the truth about reports that the guitarist is seeking help for alcohol problems.
“Ed is indisposed and working toward a better future here,” Roth said. “If Ed ever dries up, this is going to be a stadium act, man…. What’s happening here with this [New York event] is part and parcel of the same spiral that screwed up the tour.”
Without the Brothers Van Halen, the Hall faced the prospect of putting Roth on stage with bass player Michael Anthony, who is the lone founding member expected to attend, and Sammy Hagar, Roth’s replacement in the band and longtime foil, who logged more than a decade as the band’s frontman. Hagar confirmed Thursday he is attending.
Roth said Thursday he had been preparing since December for the chance to perform for the industry elite, the media and a television audience that will be watching the ceremony live on VH1 Classics.
“It’s just not an option for me to go and watch some other band — who are only performing because they have some new record coming out — do our music,” Roth said. “I have nothing against Velvet Revolver — I’m not familiar with their music — but that was my 3 minutes and 22 seconds up there.”
The other inductees this year are R.E.M., Patti Smith, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, and the Ronettes. The 2007 inductees were chosen by the 600 voters of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. Artists are eligible for inclusion in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25 years after their first recording was released. The ceremony will also be streamed live on AOL at spinner.aol.com/rockhall.

Cory is correct.
Cee | 3/8/2007, 3:47 pm EST
You say Coldplay sucks (or, rather, you “tell [them] that Coldplay suck”…)
…but let’s look at the ratings you’ve given their albums, Rolling Stone.
Parachutes - ***1/2
Rush of Blood - ****
X&Y - ***
The weird thing is… I feel compelled to both agree that Coldplay sucks, and defend their music. What’s up with THAT?
Jeff | 3/8/2007, 3:44 pm EST
I’m sure Axl read the news this morning, was totally crestfallen at the sad news and in protest decided to not release Chinese Democracy for at least another two or three years in retaliation.
Blackwood | 3/8/2007, 3:36 pm EST
I loved the video!
That song is so beautiful…
I knew they would use it as a single, it reminds of “ghost of you”…
thank you for the video
;)
Cory | 3/8/2007, 3:02 pm EST
I will agree that Coldplay can get a little full of itself. But if you are going to pin the words pretentious and bloated on a band, please make it U2. Yeah, yeah…Bono is doing great things. Blah, blah. I don’t want to hear it. People put their albums on such a pedestal, and the songs feel trite and boring.
