coldplaymom Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Not quite sure where to put this, but I'm catching up with old articles I've never read before and this is a good one from the AROBTTH era after their gig at Early court on April 16, 2003 Coldplay shadyadie by Adie Nunn ▾ 10 comments 15:14 April 22nd, 2003 Venue: Earls Court Exhibition Centre, Kensington » Artists: Coldplay » Date: 17/04/2003 What ‘comedy’ cover version would Chris Martin burst into? Would Justin Timberlake turn up playing a kazoo? What the flying fuckmonkeys were Feeder doing supporting? Just a few of many questions before Coldplay’s second sold-out stint at London enormodome Earls Court. Well, let DiS give you the answers: none (apart from something about bushy eyebrows), no, and no idea. In the space of two albums and, well, like tons of gigs, they’ve gone from the shimmering Jeff Buckley wannabe anthems of ‘Shiver’ (not played tonight) to the big beastly rockathons such as ‘Politik’, which happens to be tonight’s opening tune. Bravo for that, says your weary DiS correspondent. ‘Politik’ is satisfyingly-bombastic and uplifiting. “Look at Earth from outer-space,” goes the first line, and “look at ants from the top of the Millennium Wheel,” the people in the back seats no doubt mumble (note: this venue sells binoculars). Coldplay have always been in danger of turning into The Chris Martin Show. While he is less chatty onstage than in the past, he now appears to enjoy the crazy frontman role a lot more, and is very much the one in the constant limelight. But whatever may be said about how “boring” Coldplay are as far as their personality is concerned, people don’t like Coldplay because their singer’s knobbing an actress, they like Coldplay because of the music. Like, no shit. Tunes full of catchy guitar hooks and singalong choruses (believe me, hearing that many people singing along to ‘Everything’s Not Lost’ is very special indeed) – there’s nothing particularly deep about their music, but it’s good enough to have touched the indie kid in the bedroom with the curtains closed, to the ‘Smash Hits’ reader who thinks Chris is a bit dishy, to the Radio 2 listeners and ‘Later’-watching musos. And there-be the reasons why Coldplay are absolutely massive and adored worldwide and the band you’re in is not. Despite the amount of folk in the audience, it doesn’t feel like a massive gig… that is, until they play ‘Clocks’ and get the wannabe-Pink Floyd lasers out. But I’m sick of this tune. It won’t go away. Make it stop. Call me a soppy old sucker, but I still prefer ‘The Scientist’ and ‘In My Place’. It’s nice to see the little indie boys have all grown up. We’re heading into stadium rock territory but – hey! – Muse have been wanting the same since day one and nobody seems to give them shit for it (well, not all the time anyway). There’s been much mutual back-slapping recently between the two bands but, you know what? Perhaps Echo and the Bunnymen were ahead of their time after all.

Danceteacher Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 While working on my computer I am currently listening to an OLDIES-show on the radio and they just played Clocks! :wtf: The DJ said it's now 10 years old, so it qualifies as an Oldie.:whaaat: I am 40 years old - so what am I then - an ancientie? :inquisitive: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dany93 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 ^ :wacky: Today in a talk show the host was talking to a guest -who is a host as well- about what kind of guests she could have in her programme (I know this sounds like a pun, but it's not :P)... So she said they cannot afford much, but it depends on the occasions... All of a sudden he replied with: "You'd like to have Coldplaaaaay (typical Italian pronunciacion), wouldn't you? :dozey:", as if to say that they're too expensive :lol: And she said: "Yeah! Well, what do you know, if they're in a promotional tour they may come for free! :snobby:" :awesome: I felt a proud Italian for once, their greatness is just given for granted! :smug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kittybitty Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Even after all this time I still can't quite believe it sometimes. So proud of them.:D I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels proud of them. I just imagine how it must feel to one day be in college and want to be in a band, and then very soon you're one of the biggest bands in the world. Amazing.
