Coldplay's Chris Martin slams ringtone generation

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin has hit out at the music industry, insisting "proper" music is no longer held in high regard.

The singer has criticised the trend for mobile phone ringtones of chart tunes, insisting it is killing the current music scene. He says, "All that matters in music today is that your song becomes a ringtone." [via Contact Music ]

Chris Martin has voices his ringtone rage before, but in a lighter way, when The Crazy Frog tune beat Coldplay to the No 1 spot in the charts. "The point is that little thing should have its legs chopped off. I'd like to eat them in a restaurant."
