Sarah87 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Well I liked Trouble when it came out,but I never bothered to even memorize the name of the band,I was totally captured when someone online recomended t The Scientist,the lyrics fit incredibly with a situation I was having with my bestfriend and so I fell in love with the song,and I checked more of their songs and thought yeah they're good,I think I became a fan officially when I got Parachutes and thought it was the best thing,that was I think back in late 2002/early 2003.

Eni Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I had heard Yellow before but I didn't know who it was and I didn't bother to check cause I wasn't much into rock at the time. But then a beautiful day I rented "Wicked Park", heard the scientist :idea2: and I've been a fan ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Coldplay Lover* Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I saw the Scientist video and I was like hey Eduardo (Bro) look at how cool this video is....then I sort of forgot about it...then I heard Clocks....and forgot about that too....BUT then I saw the Speed of Sound Video on Unleashed AND I WAS HOOKED!!!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sofy Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 :lol: i tought Yellow was played by Dave Mathew's Band :lol: ME TOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! So good to hear there were others like me! It's a long story, mine...I remember a friend told me that the song and video were really boring, so i didnt pay attention to it. Yeah, i was always doing whatever my friend told me to...then when i watched trouble video, it made me cry!!!! i dont know, its so depressing...so i didnt like it (well i was 11 and dumb), it made me feel like, i dont know how...it was kinda freaky. :embarrased: 2 years later 'in my place' was used in an advert, and i had to hear to it at 6:30 in the morning!!!!!!! before going to school, so i hated the fucking riff so much! (i'm hurting myself while typing this, ok?). And then i fell in love with Clocks! but I never could catch the part of the video/radio when they say who they are. And then i watched the 'god put a smile upon your face' video, which is great, and at the same time i found out coldplay were the ones who played clocks, so i ran to the stores and bought the CD 'A ruch of blood to the head'. 2 weeks later, when i saw Yellow video again, i went to buy Parachutes. THE END!!! (Are you bored now! well, you shouldnt have read it, i told you it was long! :P ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakfast_of_CHAMPION Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 The first time I heard Coldplay was back when Yellow was first released. I was up late watching Mtv and the video came on. At the time I was into Ricky Martin (I know, I know :rolleyes: ) lol anyway, I heard Chris' voice and instantly was drawn to it. I sat there and couldnt beleive my ears. "Who was that?" I thought. I was so taken in that I didnt even pay attention to the name of the band or song. So, I stayed up late the next nite to see if I could catch it again and I had a tape in the vcr ready to record it. (I still have the tape) hehe anyway, I was thinking he was a solo artist and surprised to see it was a band named Coldplay. I went to the shop the next morning and bought Parachutes. I have been hooked ever since. I remeber going on and on about the cd to everyone I knew and always got the same response, "What is coldplay?" Now I cant find a single person who hasnt at least heard of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sofy Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 hahahhahah! yeah, i still find a lot of people who doesnt know who they are! :dozey: I had to convert my friends into coldplayism to have someone to talk about it!!! :D But i was alone for a whole year! :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polkahard Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Well, I heard Yellow when it first came out, but being young then, I didn't realize the greatness that was Coldplay. Anyway, around when A Rush of Blood to the Head was released, I was looking around in Target and saw it for $7.99. I had heard good things about it, and figured it was worth the risk. Well, I listened to it for a bit, but it didn't do too much for me. Two months later, I was sick, stuck at home, and bored...and I saw the CD and decided to give it another chance. :idea2: I was hooked. And I've been a Coldplay fan ever since!

naty Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 there was a tv show on mtv and they played "in my place" for the first time, and i saw it and fell in love with the song. after this i bought all coldplay records :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elo Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 it's the same for me, first I heard Trouble at the radio but I was only ten ! I became a fan when Clocks was released as a single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephBerryman Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I saw the video for Yellow back in college-I liked the song, but thought Chris was really dorking-looking! :lol: I really liked Trouble as well, but not enough to buy the album. (it takes alot of convincing for me to buy an album-if i do, it means i really, really, really, really love the band/singer) When AROBTTH came out, everybody was saying such great things about it, but i wasn't convinced enough to buy the album. One late night, i was watching Conan O'Brien and Coldplay was the musical guest...Conan said Coldplay was his favorite band and to get their cd. So I bought it and was completely blown away! It's been love ever since! :D Thanks Conan-you have great taste in music! :lol: :lol: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Loved reading everyone's story! Isn't it strange how a first impression is overlooked and a second chance is the best thing that ever happened? Well, my aunt had asked me to burn a CD and Trouble was one of the songs. I had known about Coldplay since they debuted, but was more a blossoming teeny bopper type at that time :rolleyes:. So back to april 2003, as I was downloading, I decided, hmm let's see what this band has to offer and downloaded the whole lot. Fortunately, The Scientist was released as a single at that time and I happened to catch it late that night. I was blown away. Here was this handsome man, against a bright aqua background and a beautiful song playing in the back. :o So naturally I bought AROBTH and the next week Parachutes. and when I like something I go all out get crazy. So it was Coldplay everything. And I discovered more about them, appreciated their music and wouldn't stop talking about Jonny, Guy, Chris and Will. UNFORTUNATELY, I was not thinking clearly and didn't even check tour dates! They had been to my town and gone ( march 3, 2003) before I realized to check the tour dates. :x but oh well. I sulked and looked forward to the next time around. too bad it was 2 years later. I would died if they didn't release LIVE 2003 but I can't be mad now. That's why for the Twisted Logic Tour I was like " yeah I am making up for last year too!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Cadet Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 The first time I heard a Coldplay song was when Trouble was played on an episode of Roswell, much like Fix You showed up on an episode of the O.C. recently. Normally I didn’t care about the music on Roswell, they were always playing crap from the radio, but that one song haunted me like no other. I didn’t have a clue who the song was by, though, and never bothered to find out. The second time I heard of Coldplay was from a friend who was obsessed with Yellow. She would sing it, very loudly and a bit out of tune. All. The. Time. It’s still my least favorite of Coldplay’s big songs, though I do finally like it now. What I consider to be the first real time I heard Coldplay was January of 2003. I was working in a Walmart type store and had been listening to the same loop of about 20 cheesy Christmas songs playing for the last month and a half. Finally, something different was being pumped over the store radio. One afternoon, they played Clocks. I couldn’t even hear it very well, because the in-store speakers were so distorted, but I was completely transfixed. It was so beautiful. I think one of the customers had to wake me up out of the funny little trance the song put me into. I heard it over the radio a couple of times after that with the same result. It became my happy song- the song that would get me out of the worst moods. I had to find out who the song was by now, but I couldn’t. I would always miss it on the radio. Meanwhile, the girl who was so obsessed with Yellow, along with a couple of other influences had convinced me to look into these Coldplay guys a little more. So I tried one more song – Clocks – and it was the song- my happy song; the one I couldn’t find. I was flabbergasted. I listened to a second song. It was Trouble- that song I still remembered from Roswell a couple of years earlier. It was like a Twilight Zone moment, where all these random songs I had heard snippets of and loved all came from those guys I had ignored because they only played that song Yellow.

I got AROBTTH in April 2003 and they were in concert in Strasbourg one month earlier !!! (Strasbourg is 30 km far away from my house!) :x :x I think they'll never be so close to my house again :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Elo, it sucks doesn't it? I mean this show was at a the Fox Theater which is a very very nice theater. It is perfect. It is intimate and it is just downtown about 15 miles away. I have read some of the reviews and it sounded amazing. I guess Will broke his drumstick during Politik and they played some new songs ( for the time being). So I assume you will be seeing them this time around? here is an article that shows a beautiful picture and gives a nice summary about it http://info.detnews.com/history/story/index.cfm?id=63&category=locations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
