Random Coldplay thoughts...

No need to apologize ! And obviously anyone can celebrate whatever they want, I was just commenting on a few things that caught my eye. And I have to comment yet again because even when you take US releases there is no way Parachutes could have come out in the US a whole month earlier than its standard release on July 10, so maybe this is a misunderstanding ? About Starfish, they chose this name in a panic in January 1998 when they had their first ever gig booked, according to Jonny's own handwritten note. See this page of the official Coldplay timeline about it: http://timeline.coldplay.com/first-show-the-laurel-tree-camden-2/ If you watch the video, they do mention some names they had considered or were going by before that.

 

This religious stuff somehow reminds me of The Church Of Chris Martin. Do you know them ?

And now I'm kinda curious what you wrote about it and what some other holidays are :D

 

I don't know about the Parachutes thing, maybe I'm just blind. I don't know where I found "February" thing either, I think I heard it in an interview somewhere? God, I'm a mess! And the rest of the holidays are a bunch of EP's, I'd love to hear your comments on the rest so I can fix everything! Thank you.

 

P.S And I think that that 16'th January is when their first mini concert happened. And it is also 1998. But I was talking about 1996, since that's when they first formed as a band (so, Pectoralz, right?). Anyway, it's sometimes very hard to figure out the original dates of things.

Top Touring Artist: Pretty good shot

Top Rock Tour- Pretty good shot, they won it last year. I'd be suprised if they didn't win at least one of these 2.

Top Duo/Group- Doubtful but possible.

 

These are the categories for that dumb song he did with that dumb group. And by "he" I mean Chris because I find it hard to believe Will, Guy or Jonny wanted anything to do with it-

Top Radio Song- Probably not. My guess would be either Bruno Mars or Ed Sheeran.

Top Collaboration- Probably Despacito or Post Malone

Top Dance/Electronic Song- Eh maybe. Probably not. I think Stay by Alessia Cara/Zedd should win it. But it could be any from that group.

Well just shows how much I know about award shows. Forget me.

But hey, at least they won something!

Honestly though, how did they not win either of the touring categories? I guess U2 had slightly better grossing numbers in 2017 alone...

Hence why I don't dare commenting on things like that ... or sports :cool:

Hey everyone, can't believe it's been over 3 months since the last time I was here. I also wanted to share something. It's a throwback to 2009, tomorrow exactly 9 years ago Coldplay played Life In Technicolor ii for a soundcheck (which was too good to be just a soundcheck). So for those who want to see them playing their best song (at least it is for me) sometime again; I'll post the video here:

 

Enjoy :)

 

Thanks @AMDB9 , @42Escapist etc... Just wanted to say your likes made my day:cool: (Please, there's no need to like this again :laughing:)

I always wonder if this kind of spamming actually is in any way beneficial to the spammers ? I mean, seriously. Imagine if he (probably a bot) even posts this bunch of threads to, let's say, 1000 random subject forums. How many people are gonna check their respective forum and be like 'OMG, I was looking for someone to tell me how to use black magic to solve my love problem, now I know who to call !'

Who knows ... I wonder as well ... guess it will stay one of life's unsolved puzzles for me

maybe he did, maybe he didn't ... does it make like coldplay's music less? not really

Chris has always wanted to salvage what privacy he can and I think there are thousands of videos out there with him being wonderful with fans. If he flips his lid a few times who can blame him?

I could write an essay about why being in the paparazzi is the worst career on the planet.

If everybody would read about celebrities/look at celebrity pictures as much as I do, that wouldn't be much of a career for those people :p Unfortunately it is a way to make money in today's world as this is how demand and supply work together

Speaking of negative stories about band members...I recently came across this bewildering one:

 

https://www.thefreelibrary.com/STROPPY+STARS%3A+%60Coldplay+threatened+to+sue+me%27+Teacher+Jacqueline...-a0108768602

 

This offensive legal threat over such a trivial misunderstanding doesn't fit at all with what we know about Will's character, so I wonder what this was really about. I can only explain it by there being a history between the two parties prior to the incident. We only hear the lady's version of the story, but maybe she did keep bothering them beforehand ? I believe her story for the most part but what put me off slightly was that her first letter to Marianne by her own admission included a request for free Coldplay tickets - who would ask for that, upon first contact (and she says she isn't even a fan) ? Makes me doubt her claim a little that she was just after a teacher-to-teacher chat...

Even if ... why would I make any experience like that public? Even Thumper (from Bambi) teaches kids. If you don't have anything nice to say, best say nothing at all
