Farin Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 [big]Man punched for singing Coldplay song[/big] [smaller]08/13/2007 5:00 PM, Yahoo! Music courtesy of NME.com [/smaller] A Coldplay fan has been beaten up following their rendition of "Yellow" in a karaoke bar. The incident took place in Seattle on Thursday (August 9) at Changes. As the unnamed man took the stage to sing the song, a woman reportedly declared: "Oh no, not that song. I can't stand that song!" She then leaped at the would-be singer, shouted expletives at him and told him his singing "sucked," while expressing the same opinion of the song, according to a Seattle police report. She pushed the man and punched him, all in an effort to stop his singing. Other patrons went to the singer's aid and hauled the 21-year-old woman outside. Robert Willmette, one the barmen at Changes, said: "It took three or four of us to hold her down." According to the barman, the woman "went crazy" when she got outside, punching him twice in the face. The police were called and blocked the whole street off. The officers took the woman, whom Willmette described as "a little hippie girl," to the ground. She assaulted the police officer and was booked into the King County Jail for investigation of assault, reports the Seattle P.I. paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ombre Vivante Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Hell, I felt the same way about chris martin ever since his wussy, whiny voice first came on the radio. Bravo! This chick totally rocks (and probably has awersome taste in music) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epiphany Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 What?! She assaulted officers too? Wow. I actually like Coldplay. "Clocks" is their best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ombre Vivante Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 clodplay has been known to have that effect on sober people. It's been scientifically proven that crap that really grates on people for prolonged periods of time will eventually make them lash out like a cornered animal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 (edited) really? how do you explain the lack of these events with the numerous boy/girl bands and other crappy pop around? or could it be that it's so normal there that no news agency would bother to point it out?

But, see, nobody really expects Puke Pop to be played at a bar. I'm pretty sure if it was played at the same bar, somebody would run amuck on the crowd. It's inherently violence-inducing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
