June 20, 200620 yr Everybody's been saying that, that it comes as no shock. I have to admit, though, I was completely flabbergasted when I read this. I'm not doom and gloom about it, though. They still seem to be having a great time on stage, and that's the sign of a band with some strength. They can definately perservere through this. But, you know, now that I think about it more.... I think that the signs were there. I don't like to base my opinions off superficial magazine images, or articles, or whatever... But I was just looking at a cut out from Rolling Stone of the band that's on my wall. Everyone's photographed "intimately" in it, except for Andy. I know that bass players usually get ignored (not rightfully so!!!!). But so do drummers, and Matt is there. I think Andy really didn't like the spotlight, I definately don't think it was a result of some sort of feud. They never showed signs of THAT. I hope some questions are answered soon, so people can stop being so deprecating and cruel towards the band. I'm tired of rumors and mindless speculations.
June 20, 200620 yr Yeah, those are the type of things can gave me the idea that not everything was hunky-dory too. ('hunky-dory' LMAO! :lol: but you know what I mean) It just seemed to me like something was up as soon as I heard that Andy was going to be taking a break to due 'fatigue'. I highly doubt there ever was any. I agree with you Danielle that it seemed like he was unhappy with so much attention...after all, they came up SO fast, it was probably a big shock for him, especially when he didn't seem to be very comfortable being in the spotlight. What's Nick like as a bassist? As good as Andy? I saw them when they still had Andy, so I haven't heard him on bass yet...
June 20, 200620 yr Nick was really good, he nailed all of the bass lines and seemed to be having a great time. I have no problem with him, he seems like a really nice guy. All the best to him, I wouldn't complain (or be surprised) if he took over for Andy. However, copying and replaying bass lines that are already CREATED is one thing. Making them up is another story all together. I saw Nick hanging out with Matt in Boston way before the show, they seem to have a good chemistry going. Well, I'll be seeing them in July again and then after that I hope many more times.
June 20, 200620 yr However, copying and replaying bass lines that are already CREATED is one thing. Making them up is another story all together. Exactly. That's what im worried about mainly. Well not worried...I have faith in Nick, he sounds great...but I just fucking LOVE some of those basslines, and im worried they might lose somthing without Andy's input in their next songs... I guess only time will tell eh! I hope to see them again too...im keeping my eyes and ears open for any UK dates, I really cant wait to see them again! :ears:
June 20, 200620 yr LMFAOOOO Danielle I read about that!!!! :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: I'm so glad to read other front row people saying Alex looked at them during gigs. When I saw them he DEFINATLEY looked right at me during the 'stop making the eyes at me....' bit during IBTYLGOTD. It seemed so weird that since I thought I probably imagined it. But maybe not :stunned:
June 20, 200620 yr Alex doesn't look, he STARES. It's kind of unnerving. I don't think he had anywhere else to look during the whole show except towards me at some points. Poor guy, I probably traumatized him. And oh, I was so makin' the eyes at him the whole time. I don't know how he could have not noticed. Alex likes to stare down cameras too. I was watching the professional photographers running around in the pit (fucking covering my view sometimes), and Alex would look directly into the lense until the person took the picture and moved away. He's like a cat or something. LMFAOOO :heart:
June 20, 200620 yr awww that is so sweet danielle!! :nice: he sounds very sexy :wink3: to srtand in front of and watch steph...what...he looked at you?? as well?? :o
June 20, 200620 yr Yeah, he does stare a lot doesn't he!!! Gawsh... :blush: he's such a babe. Kelly - yeah, im pretty sure he did. Unless I daydreamed it lmao. But nothing on the scale of Chris talking to me LOL that's just a whoooole other level!!!! :laugh4: :dead:
June 20, 200620 yr CHRIS TALKED TO YOU STEPH!?!?!? Have I been missing something major here???? I haven't been into the Coldplay section in awhile, holy crap. WHAT'S GOING ON?! Er, anyways. So, I was just blasting the EP and realized how poignant Who The Fuck has become. Maybe it's about Andy......... We all want someone to shout for Yeah, everyone wants somebody to adore But your heroes aren't what they seem When you've been where we've been Have I done something to trigger The funny looks and the sniggers? Are they there at all, or is it just paranoia? Everybody's got their box Doing what they're told You pushed my faith near being lost But we'll stick to the guns Don't care if it's marketing suicidal Won't crack or compromise Your derisory divides Will never unhinge us And there's a couple of hundred Think they're Christopher Columbus But the settlers had already settled Yeah, long before ya Just cos we're having a say-so Not lining up to be playdoh Oh, in five years time, will it be "Who the fuck's Arctic Monkeys?" 'Cause everybody's got their box Doing what they're told You pushed my faith near being lost But we'll stick to the guns Don't care if it's marketing suicidal Won't crack or compromise Your do-rights or individes Will never unhinge us All the thoughts that I just said Will linger round and multiply in their head Not that mad to start with I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed It's not you it's them that are wrong Tell 'em to take out their tongues Tell 'em to take out their tongues... Now I realize that the signs really REALLY were there, hitting us all in the face. lmfao oh dear.

June 20, 200620 yr Steph, that's amazing!!!!!! There is nothing better than getting attention from an artist in the middle, or end, or begining of a gig. I have determined this. :smug: :laugh4:
June 20, 200620 yr Oh, believe me. I do too..........:stunned: What a sweetheart.... :nice: Thanks, I hope my knees get better too....... I seem to be walking around in my skirts a lot, I wear my bruises and scratches like badges.... Which is probably a VERY unhealthy attitude:laugh3: :laugh3: I would so hun. i do understand. i would too. :laugh4: i hear Alex Stares down at ppl....:sneaky: omg. i cant fucking wait till i see them live. :stunned:
June 20, 200620 yr Im too lazy to type it again :lol: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1655930&postcount=1120 i read this. :stunned::stunned: no way steph!!!!!!!!! did you have to go to the hospital?? :stunned:
