So what, now you don't want to know how I met them, fine. I met them when I bought their record..blah blah blah :rolleyes: :lol:

I still have in mind the moment I first saw Yellow on MTV, it was the UK chart and I was impressed because that was a very strange song for the time and so was the video, I mean it was really unusual to see such a simple video when anyone else was full of girls or hyperproduced: Chris walking on the shore :nice: ...and I fell in love with that song :heart: then came Trouble...and everything else.

Anyway I don't think I've been a really great fan, it took me a lot to be obsessed (maybe it's not the proper word :P ) with them, but now I am, and I am happy I can say "hey I know them since they released Yellow" :D because I'm almost as old as them so I'm growing up with their songs :cool:

Last year I saw them live, two wonderful concerts, and I must thank one of my friends who know them since 1999, he saw them in UK in one summer festival, when they were still unknown and he's really a great fan...funny thing in november he was finally able to take a picture with Chris, after years of chasing :lol: :lol:

Well...firs i heard trouble(i think on MTV), and i thought that it's a cool song.....when ROBTTH came out my friend bought it first....and i borowd the cd, and for 2 MONTHS the cd staied by me!!! she freekd out!!!!!!!i mean who wouldnt?????????the rest is history....

I think it's really awesome how lots of people have said how when they first heard Coldplay's songs it seemed like a lot of them were 'written for them'.

 

Thats one of the best things about Coldplay for me. I think its bloody amazing how even when there are 20,000+ people in the room with you listening to their music, it still manages to feel so personal, like they are singing the songs just for you.

Well, thats how i felt anyway. :)

 

Fuck i love those boys! :heart:

 

i can't more agree with you :D

youre totally right. i think the same ;)

:) :)

I think it's just amazing that there are people in this world that are that talented. :)

i used to casually listen to a few of their songs when i had my old computer (fucking windows 98 piece of shit fucking broke :angry: ) a couple of years ago. then, i kind of took a one and a half break from pretty much all music newer than 1980 (i'll call it my midteen crisis :rolleyes:). then last june, my online friend (who shall remain nameless) sent me all of their albums through aim and i listened. a lot. and then danielle (an_cat on here) made me (yes, made me) buy the live 2003 dvd. i just couldn't go back after that. :D

I think it's just amazing that there are people in this world that are that talented. :)

 

Me too, its incredible! I never thought i'd come across an artist/band who could move me the way they can. (or make me so obsessed :lol: )

Music is so powerful, and Coldplay reminded me that.

I bought their album AROBTTH in London on holidays. I thought "okay, have a try at it."........then came Parachutes and then X&Y, I visited 2 concerts...and so on and so on..I am fanatic :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Its cool knowing lots of other people did the same as me! Bought AROBTTH, loved it so bought Parachutes, and then were totally hooked. :)

I find it interesting that most of you seem to have discovered the band with AROBTTH. When it came out, a lot of Coldplay's fans hated it and thought it was the worse thing ever. Now most people here rate it as their favorite record. Jebus now I feel so frickin old. :lol:

Really!? :stunned:

 

When i bought it i thought it was incredible. Thats really suprising, all i heard was good stuff about it from others too. But then again i wasnt on the net then so i didnt hear much from other fans.

OMG the uproar when it came out. Because Parachutes was so mellow I guess you could say and AROBTTH was more rockin, people went insane! Said they were sellouts and washed up. :lol: Some of the same reactions that X & Y got when it came out. It's over produced blah blah blah :dozey: Who wants a band to release the same record every year?...oh yeah Nickelback fans. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Who wants a band to release the same record every year?...oh yeah Nickelback fans. :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Thats exactly what i was about to say!!!

When i bought Parachutes, i did notice straight away that it was much more mellow, and so i suppose it must have been quite a shock for the fans when AROBTTH came out, but its a fucking fantastic album, so i dont see the big deal.

As soon as I heard X&Y i knew there'd be a big fuss about it :rolleyes:

I love the progression their music has made. That first night they leaked X & Y on the Coldplayer, my jaw hit the floor when I heard Low. Me likey :D

Me too! :) Im glad im not the only one, cos sometimes it feels like it!!! :/
