Nostalgia? Remembering Mylo Xyloto from the beginning. - Page 2

Great work! I remember listening to the original recording of POC and trying so hard to figure out everything about it. In retrospect, it's so sloppy - too much synth/little guitar, Chris's singing is not great and he mucks the lyrics in a couple places; although the drums + bass was interesting. Still sounds good but it's so interesting to go from then to now.

Thanks so much for taking the time to post this! I remember the teasing you tube videos for ETIAW like it was yesterday, it was so exciting! Then staying up all night to hear it on the radio the night before my college graduation, and then knowing the words to the new songs already when I saw them at Lollapalooza and ACL last year. Thanks again

I find it hilarious how that was everyone's favorite new song -- and now it's easily our least favorite, as a whole.

I don't remember when/where this was from, but I remember R42 saying something about UIF, cool live guitar work by Jonny on Paradise (which really is nice, the extra slides), and the "violently life affirming" nature of DLIBYH. I think this was after the ACL taping/festival. That was also a fun time.

Too true mate...although in my opinion the current live version, disregarding the silliness of Rihanna being a video, sounds the very best.

The Chris dance during the middle of the song is pretty epic in the Rock Im Park version.

What a great post! I remember seeing all the teasers in Coldplay's page, but I was not in the forum yet, so seeing all of them here brought all the excitement back! It was great!

Thanks for the breakdown of events! it's almost a year since the release of mylo and still surprises never stop coming. We still have to wait for the live film and the comics itself (and maybe an EP which is unlikely to come out any moment soon).

To this day I still find that mysterious Up With The Birds / U.F.O. artwork very intriguing.

Papillon · 23-07-2012, 08:30 PM

Whoah great work! Thank you! It's nice to read all this memories again!

I remember that I thought for a little while that the name of the album would be Major Minus

funny if I now look back at it

Not gonna lie, in the Viva era my excitement and the giddy Coldplay feeling in my stomach progressively increased.

MX era, it's progressively disappeared...

I know, right? It is because they are not releasing anything new! Not performing anything new either... Videos, comic books and whatnot are cool, but most people, including myself, love Coldplay for the amazing music.

You & George would go skipping through meadows with Dave flying behind & you'd retire early & enjoy life because you're rich from the discovery of Dave.
