clockpolitiks Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Come on, U2 plays for 2 1/2 hours and have been touring since nov 2004, as well as the rolling stones. They are old. Coldplay are young. They should have enough energy to play for 2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostbitepanda Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 What you FAIL to notice though is that Coldplay is not NEARLY as established as U2. I gaurantee you, that if the boys were to play for 2 + hours people would get bored. Only established, older bands play sets as long as that (Paul McCartney, Elton John...). I think people seem to forget the Coldplay only has 3 albums out and only has a little under 6 years under their belts. Not nearly everyone filling up that arena is as hardcore as us. PLUS, If you'll also notice, U2 doesn't have near a rigorous tour schedule. They can afford to do that. Really guys, performing takes ALOT out f you, under hundreds of hot lights... especially someone as twitchy as Chris. Don't critisize them about ste lengths. May next album they can up it to a 2 hour show, but right now they're still trying to establish themselves as a band worthy of the U2 mantle.

AmandaCA85 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 hopefully next album they can extend the set length.... but their schedule this time around is pretty rigorous and hectic. i can only imagine how tired they are but i think it means alot that they are doing a really extensive tour in the US especially to everyone who sees them out on tour.... they are almost stopping everywhere in the us lol. go them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them in a football staduim, and Mick Jagger runs around like no tomorrow and he's ~62. He ran all across the field and everything. I think Coldplay should def. play for longer. I saw Paul McCartney (:kiss: ) and he played four FOUR hours. Now THAT was a good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mandymcnabb Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I would make them not make vids like THP, I would make them change up their outfits a bit, I would make them naked on stage, jk, well kinda, I would make them sound like they did before they made it big. Like in Bigger Stronger, and Murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I would have them use pianos on their next album!! (if Chris was serious, anyway :) ) I wish their shows were longer, that THP vid was better, that Chris keeps his hair the way it is, that their next album comes out ASAP (or new material in any form, for that matter), and that I meet Chris Martin some day. those are more wishes than what I dont like, but still. you can see my point.

Ryujiki Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I hope they would release a cd in the 2007, Another thing I want to see is more songs in their albums,cause 12 or 13 is not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaCA85 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 yah i am a big fan of cds that have like 15 or even more songs... you just cant get enough of em you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitepanda Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Coldplay have said many times that they think anymore than 12 tracks on an album is way too long. I tend to agree. A long album, not matter how good, just seems to be a bit too tiring and tends to lose it's thread after so long. It's almost like the band just threw anything they recorded on there. Coldplay are notorious perfectionists and go to great pains on picking only the best songs to put on their albums. (Didn't they have 20 FULLY RECORDED tracks for X&Y?) Although, with songs like A Whisper, High Speed and The Hardest Part, it's kind of hard to tell. :D But still! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldplay are young. They should have enough energy to play for 2 hours.[/quote'] The Rolling stones and U2 are bands of superheroes. they can sing, and play for hours....its quite supernatural. Coldplay is human, so they get tired.. i dunno, i guess they could be a bit more longer, but not a whole lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victaniac Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 ^Nahhh, Coldplay are superheroes too! :laugh4: Their concerts are shorter because U2 and The Rolling Stones have a tonnn of albums and Coldplay only has 3. 90 minutes is a good length for a band in its third album.

Sienna Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 ^hehe, yeah, the less obvious way of superheros. they dont dress funny or have nicknames. that might be true. 3 albums dont cut it for a 3 hour concert. maybe in 10 years we wil have longer concerts....cant wait. :laugh4: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
