Just random thought: When did anyone see Jonny without a hat for the last time?

 

12 September 2012 for a split second (link) and March 2010 (link)

Wow, he is fast. He managed to change hats exactly in a split second. Unique skill :cool:

^:nod: hahaha :lol:

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

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.

This caught my eye in a thrift shop

 

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:

 

^Yay, Coldplay are finally getting into the "goold old bands" category!! :awesome:

^ :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:

background music of that video sounds like clocks :lol:

^There was an eyeglass commercial I saw once that had a backwards version of Clocks playing in the background.

Gary Lightbody, drummer of the famous alternative band Coldplay and singer of Snow Patrol will be making a cameo appearance in the show. According to E! Online he will be playing, you guessed it! A drummer.

someone is about to get fired :p

I randomly thought of Coldplay today...

Saw a Live 2012 poster on a store today and it said 'new DVD by th biggest band right now', I was so proud at that moment.

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.

Especially after playing a couple of heart-breaking gigs in America early on that were so hard on them. I guess they proved their point!

...............

Who knew Will had a split personality? :facepalm::lol:

^:lol:

 

We all know he's extremely talented, but I just doubt you can be both the drummer of one of the biggest bands in the world AND the singer of a quite successful band at the same time. Unless you own a TARDIS or something maybe. :nod:

 

edit: Also, Will doesn't have enough hair to be Gary Lightbody.

^:lol:

Well, the TARDIS has a wide selection of wardrobe and wigs, so there,lol.

Remember that time when Al Martin was mistaken for Gary Lightbody?

Dave Grohl might have something to say about it:)
