Coldplay spent an estimated $640,000 a night to
supply fans with flashing wristbands that lit up in time to the beat of their
music at concerts.
The electronic bracelets have been worn by fans around the world on the
band's Mylo Xyloto tour, filling venues with color during the group's hits, but
frontman
Chris Martin recently revealed that he and his
bandmates were reconsidering using the cool gimmick because it was proving too
expensive.
"Most of the money we're earning on the tour is put into the wristbands,"
Martin said. "We have to figure out how to keep it going without going
broke because it's a crucial part of the concert."
Guitarist Jonny Buckland said the price of the bracelets has cost the group
more than half a million dollars a night to fund the initiative, but he hopes
they will be able to continue handing out the light devices for free at gigs.
He tells Bauer Radio, "It looks amazing. It just makes everyone have a great
time, most of all us. And it just feels so magical."
It is not yet known if Coldplay will use the wristbands when they kick off
the second leg of their North American tour in Texas next week.
Ok, if you guessed is was the fact that Coldplay makes more than $640,000 in a single show and blows it all on super lame bracelets then good, you read the headline but no, that's not what we're looking for.
If you said it was the quote from guitarist Jonny 'dumbass' Buckland about how the wristbands are 'magical' then good, you read the whole article and yes, you did choose a superbly lame ass quote by a superbly lame ass douche about a superbly lame ass gimmick that costs $640,000 a night.
If you guessed the stupidest part was the title of their tour 'Mylo Xyloto' which besides having three consonants together is almost unpronounceable and means absolutely nothing but was just thought up while getting high in your $10 million home studio then good for you, you're almost right.
No, the stupidest part about this article is the photo of that whiny, dumb sissy Chris Martin looking like a sad little puppy lost to the world singing your favorite song he probably didn't write while taking your hard earned money paid for a great concert experience and handing out light up wristbands like it's a fucking rave and we're all on E but after he walks off stage into the arms of Gwenyth Paltrow tears streaming down his face at all the money his band wasted on worthless wristbands that look like they should be in a pair of little kid's $10 light up shoes and how if he'd only rejected the whole idea in the first place he could buy that mansion on the moon that he's always dreamed up since he was a little boy on the war torn streets of England.
Yeah, if you guess that then good for you, you're right. However, you'll be lucky to make $640K in twenty years let alone blow it all on raver wear. So just know that Chris Martin hates you and wants you to know it. Rabble fucking Rabble-B
