Coldplay

HELPPPPPPPPPPP

Hi guys, Thought you might like to know there's a big interview with Coldplay in this week's issue of Time Out. The magazine caught up with the band on tour in Toronto to find a band on the cusp of greatness - and an ever so slightly barmy Chris.... Why Chris shies away from publicity: “I’m not interested in going on the cover of OK and telling “the truth about my relationship.” I don’t give a shit if someone thinks I sleep with a cucumber up my bum ‘cos it’s healing.” Chris on what it takes to be a frontman:: “I think to be a frontman you have to be half very driven and half a total knob. And I like to think I’m both.” His unique app…

hey everyone, this is my first post in the forum, so i thought i'd make it a helpful one: for anyone who lives in montreal, quebec, check the D section of this morning's gazette. you'll find a coupon that will let you buy X&Y for 9.99 at any HMV, tomorrow (tuesday) only. i've already got my coupon stuck to the fridge and will be out tomorrow morning to pick up the album.

Heres a great article mtv news did on Coldplay.Check it out! http://www.mtv.com/bands/c/coldplay/news_feature_060605/index.jhtml

I have tix for the dallas show in the Pit. Ive been in the pit before at other outdoor venues but when i look on the Smirnoff Music Center site there is no PIT onthe seating chart.. does anyone know anything about how the Pit will work for this tour if it is not shown on the seating chart thanks

http://www.mtv.com/bands/c/coldplay/news_feature_060605/index2.jhtml it's on mtv, i don't think it's been posted but there's snipits of interviews and a performence of speed of sound if you go through the pages. i'm not sure where the performence is from though.... so yeah! i haven't gone through everything yet though.

how long have they been married? and BTW, Apple is like 1 year old by now, right?

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/05/arts/music/05pare.html June 5, 2005 The Case Against Coldplay By JON PARELES THERE'S nothing wrong with self-pity. As a spur to songwriting, it's right up there with lust, anger and greed, and probably better than the remaining deadly sins. There's nothing wrong, either, with striving for musical grandeur, using every bit of skill and studio illusion to create a sound large enough to get lost in. Male sensitivity, a quality that's under siege in a pop culture full of unrepentant bullying and machismo, shouldn't be dismissed out of hand, no matter how risible it can be in practice. And building a sound on the lessons of past bands …

hey, parachutes has always been one of my favourite coldplay songs, even though it's SO short. i was wondering if there has ever been an extended version of this song performed or recorded. if so, could someone share it? i would be grateful to hear it. thanks!

can anyone record radio one gig tonight? coverage starts at 7, but the actuall gig starts at 9. wonder how long it will be.

Does anybody know what Chris Martin his new "rings" stand for? the blue and the red one. If you'd have an idea could you let me know? thanks..

I really hope they are puting it up on the forum

just noticed this as of 3am (EST) SOS is back to #8 on itunes as far as albums go... AROBTTH is #34 for most Dl'ed albums for today, Parachutes is #50. i suppopse people are gearing up for the big tuesday release :sneaky:

Sadly- this review IMO is the most accurate one I've read yet (Rolling Stone was pretty close) Coldplay - X & Y- EMI OVERVIEW Coldplay, perhaps you've heard of them. Chris Martin and the boys - I mean, who are they really) - are either the saviours of rock, as critics comparing them to U2 and the Beatles, would like you to think, or just another over-hyped group taking Radioheads vision into very commercial terrain. HIT FACTOR The one sheet that came with the advance of the disc noted how much the group wanted to use the full power of the studio. Even if that really meant "we had no ideas, so we glossed 'em over really, really well," this CD would sell, sel…

very good i may add!

mtv-poland: you can see it once again on sunday (12th). at 10 pm GMT "All eyes on Coldplay", and after that "Coldplay Live" (Koko). you can watch this gig online there as well http://www.mtv.pl/index.php?d=2&p=1&n=4020&page=1

Wahey, X&Y is officially out over here and I have my copy! Ireland is god for one thing: Getting albums on the Friday before everybody else. Me and a couple of mates were first in line at about 11:20 (2 hours ago). As well as the album, 20 goody bags were to be had, contents below: Double sided square cardboard thingy, band side shown. Album artwork on other side. Hologram postcard thing promoting the June 5th Live MTV show. The album itself. X&Y keyring with "made from recycled plastic cups" on the other side! :) Poster. same as the one in the Coldplay eshop. The bag itself. Make Trade Fair written in the code on one side, X&Y on the other. Mak…

I have a problem! Monady 30th May I pre-ordered X&Y from Amazon.co.uk along with Stevie Wonders - A Time To Love (Also a pre-order). X&Y is to be released the 6th of June, but A Time TO Love is to be released the 13th of June. And now when I look at my order it says that I will recive my items about 14th-16th of June. I DONT WANT MY X&Y CD THE 14-16th of JUNE. I WANT IT NOW :S Does anyone have aclue when I will get my CD? (X&Y) please...

i'm sorry but i forget, when is it on again? this sunday or the next sunday? i thought i heard that incredibly annoying VJ matte say it was this sunday but i think i heard wrong.

Found this on mininova whilst searching for the MTV gig. It claims to be 4 tracks that were cut from X and Y!!! :smug: am d/l ing now so will continue with supsicion, will keep u all posted! :sneaky: The link is http://www.mininova.org/tor/51002 , u need a bittorrent client to d/l this. Hope it turns out for the good! (probably gonna be four versions of talk knowing our luck!) :D

Since ive been hearing mixed reviews from papers and fans i was wondering how well is it going to sell? I'm thinking it will break 10 million in a year or two!
