So it's about 16 months or so since the album was released to much excitement on these boards. I thought it would only be good to really review the album in the post MX era following the conclusion of the MX tour and single releases. When they came back into the limelight in June 2012 with their live festival shows I was very excited. They seemed better than ever on the stage and the new songs sounded outstanding particularly Hurts Like Heaven and Charlie Brown. Every Teardrop is a Waterfall was released to more than a hint of scepticism including myself. I thought it sounded naff in all honesty and it was easily the least impressive new live song from their set list. Par…

Celebrity bone pictures to be auctioned for charity Mark Heasman from Zurich is auctioning celebrity drawings on postcards to raise money in memory of a friend for the Anthony Nolan Trust CELEBRITIES from the world of sport, film, fashion and music have got involved in a Swindon man’s unique attempt to raise money for charity. Mark Heasman, 24, of the town centre, came up with the idea of getting famous people to draw bones and auctioning them off for the Anthony Nolan charity, while on a night out. Over the past three years, Mark, an accountant, has raised about £20,000 for the blood cancer charity, after his friend Jamie Griggs died from leukaemia at the…

Canadian article: Nothing much we don't already know: Coldplay are slowly narrowing down the material for the follow-up to 2005's X&Y. According to the band's official website, the group assembled in late June to sort through the songs they've been working on with producer Brian Eno in a five-hour, no-holds-barred meeting. "Brian drew up a list of all 25 pieces of music that have been worked on during this session," the June 29 diary entry from "Prospekt" says. "The four band members, Brian, Markus (Dravs) and I all shared our thoughts on each and every track: how close it was to completion, what needed to be added, what needed to be removed or replaced, what…

Stars swing in to help orangutans with charity auction ACTRESS Joanna Lumley, rock band Coldplay and stars of the Lord of the Rings films are helping to raise thousands of pounds for an Oxford charity fighting to save endangered orangutans. Last year the Sumatran Orangutan Society (SOS) based in Cowley Road arranged a Jungle VIP auction on eBay and stars including Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and DJ Chris Evans donated items to raise over £10,000. This year more big names have come forward and the charity hopes the sale on Friday will raise a similar amount. Stadium band Coldplay have donated a limited edition lithograph of their Viva La Vida album artwork, signed b…

Coldplay announce new album of Death Metal Classics In an unexpected move, rock band Coldplay have announced that their next album, due for release in the spring, will consist entirely of death metal covers. ‘It’s true,’ confirmed Chris Martin in a radio interview yesterday. ‘There’s nothing I like more after a long day of mawkish balladry and pontificating on world hunger than winding down to a bit of hard core thrash. Once the kids are in bed, the wife and I like to curl up on the sofa, crack open a bag of macrobiotic cress and have a couple of games of Boggle while Carcass’s ‘Crepitating Bowel Erosion’ plays in the background.’ However, while m…

Hey guys! Alright, so here we go. Basically, my high school has a semester long program where we create our own magazine. I'm getting to write a feature story on Coldplay! Woohoo! This is where you guys come in. I need a topic! It can be anything! There's a few requirements although. REQUIREMENTS Must be interviewable. In other words, I have to be able to speak to an expert about this topic. An idea I came up with is "Coldplay Through the Years" and I would be able to interview the first gig site. (EDIT: It's closed, so that's not happening.) Make sense? Awesome, PM or email me any ideas you guys have. I really need y'alls help! (Class website: lasa…

Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone knows what model of guitar Chris was using yesterday at the 12.12.12 gig? I linked a picture of it underneath, I think it seems a bit smaller than usual, or is it just me? Also I know he normally uses Martin guitars but does anyone know specifically the models he normally plays lately on tour etc.? Thanks a lot :nice:.

I MET CHRIS MARTIN IN LONDON So, it’s a long story, and it’s going to stay that way! When the band announced that their artwork would be published in Proud gallery, London, I was immediately attracted to the idea of seeing, what I consider to be, a beautiful piece of art. I loved the combination of colours & expression shown throughout its always fascinated me to think that they actually made this artwork (with help from Paris of course). So I immediately scheduled time to make sure I can go visit the venue & see the wonderful, colourful artwork. Me & my friend Jamie – a part time fan - decided we would bunk the day off to go to London to see the …

Hi guys! Apologies if this isn't the right place to post this, I'm new around here but the forum "Coldplay" seemed like a safe bet. I made a little mashup of 36 people from 28 countries performing covers of Don't Panic. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Or7ihrrooio]Coldplay - Don't Panic: YouTube Artists Mix - YouTube[/ame] I would love it if you guys tell me what you think. :)

Not sure if anyone else has seen this similarity to a younger Chris Martin.... Billy Twelvetrees who plays rugby for England. I'm sure he must be Chris' long-lost cousin!
