Coldplay

I'm just starting this now for when it comes out. I'll get mine later than a lot of other people.. I think it'd be cool to post pictures of us and our shiny new albums. Or this will be gone so fast and it won't even matter. EDIT: K, one of the new ideas is to take a picture of your album in different (preferably cool) locations.

He says they're big inspirations... US R&B star Ne-Yo has revealed how his love of Coldplay has helped introduce him to music by a host of different guitar bands. Speaking to the BBC, the star said he discovered Coldplay when he first heard their hit single 'Yellow' and then “was in love from there”. “I went out and got 'Parachutes', I got 'Rush of Blood to the Head', I got all of them,” he said. “Then, through Coldplay, I was introduced to Radiohead, and from them into Muse, and from Muse into Kings of Leon - it just kept rollin'.” Ne-Yo admitted that listening all the bands had influenced his own music, as well as the records he has produced for othe…

I'm still so confused from what he's said about the new album coming out next year. So they're basically going to set out a new album for their 10 years of being in a band together? And then I'm guessing there's going to be a tour in 2010, no doubt. But has anyone read or anything what they might do after? I know Chris said they won't be around for a very long time and I got worried at that part!

I was thinking and wondering if the unreleased tracks "Lukas" and "Luna" from the Viva La Vida sessions could somehow be related.We havent even heard the songs as they didnt make it on the album.But Luna is the song with Kylie Minogue and im sure we will here it as Chris has mentioned they will release it in the future.I dont know just by looking at the names it got me thinking.I think that would be cool if they were.What do you guys think?

LIAM GALLAGHER once branded Chris Martin “a geography teacher with a gawky bird”. Perhaps the Coldplay singer took it to heart - because now he’s a weird hippy soldier. . . with a gawky bird. The geeky singer and his bandmates have been sporting ridiculous French Revolution-style clobber as they plug No1 album Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends. The look ties in with the album’s arty front cover – but it makes you wonder how Chris holds on to movie star missus Gwyneth Paltrow. We don’t really think she’s gawky. Even so, Coldplay are one of the biggest bands in the world and our bet is the odd distressed sergeant look is going to be big. So you can steal a …

This is unofficial yet but coldplayzone.com suggests that the first album in music history that has ever reached Gold certification in USA just with paid digital downloads (514.000) is VIva la vida this is crazy!! Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends, although no more the top-selling album in the world on a weekly basis (it's at No.3 in the special chart of Mediatraffic), is still the top-selling album of 2008 with 4.898.400 copies (source: WorldWideAlbums). Sales haven't dropped at all in US (1.619.325) and Japan (230.022 sold copies so far). (It beat the sales of X&y in Japan (x&Y 100.000 copies sold) in only 3months and its till adding up!) We are e…

I was just on musicdirt.com and saw that Coldplay will be releaseing an ep and full length by the end of the year. I am so happy to hear there will be new music soon.

Chris so addicted to needles He may be hooked on tattoos - but we've saved Chris Martin from plunging headfirst into a drugs hell. The Coldplay frontman said: "Getting tattooed is brilliant. I got a few done in my 30s and it is the best buzz ever - especially if you are married and can't take drugs because the Daily Mirror might find out." Glad to be of service Chris. Now how about some free tickets? He added: "I recommend getting a tattoo whether you are 70 or 12 - actually, maybe not 12, I think that might be a bit too young." http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/3am/2008/09/01/chris-so-addicted-to-needles-115875-20719782/ "...saved Chri…

I haven't, but I'm curious just how many of us have. I know of a lucky few, but I don't think we've ever had a poll on this. Sorry if I'm wrong!!:D

What's the model of the car in the vid "The Scientist"? I am quite interested in buying somethin like that. =P

hi what your alternative tracklistings for the albums be?

OK, so I know it's a silly reason to start a thread, but I figured I'd find some sympathy here. I stuck it in my tour programme, and today, when I went to show it to a friend who's also a fan, it was gone! I've looked under everything, behind everything...gone through the programme 5 times...nothing! Grrrrrrrr....... But just so this isn't just a useless whining thread, did you guys catch any? Where do you keep yours? Let's talk butterflies,lol.

It's in the top-5, and it's been kinda hovering around that spot for a while! It's incredible! Does anyone have the full chart run? Dave

Very interesting and extremely revealing interview for Spin Magazine. Coldplay: Shine On Trampolines, imaginary 16-year-olds, and decisions, decisions, decisions. For the world's biggest band not called U2, there's just no rest for the bleary. An exclusive look behind the scenes of Coldplay's new album. In a slightly sketchy part of north London, a cockney blonde whom we'll call Myrtle smokes a cigarette in the driveway of the plain white-fronted former bakery that serves as recording studio, office, and grown-up clubhouse for the members of one of the worlds' biggest bands, Coldplay. Myrtle says she works at the office next door, and when …

In a recent radio station in the philippines I heard a DJ saying that she agrees with some people saying that coldplay is the "beatles of our generation" and I just thought this would be a great thread for coldplaying.

Little Jackie were in the Live Lounge today and did a cover of Viva La Vida, which was pretty cool (although she forgot some of the lyrics :P ) The lead singer also said she thought Chris was hot and loved his eyes, she then asked all the girls in the studio who agreed :lol: Can hear the show here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio1_aod.shtml?radio1/whiley_fri The cover about 2h 30 mins in :)
