coldplaykb Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 before this article, I didnt think they'd be back that quickly. I still hope they dont tbh, because I want them to take their time. its no secret that the guys are constantly writing, i dont think thats what taking a break means per se. either way, interesting point about the last time they did a festival run was 2011 (with MX). I remember being very excited hearing new songs debut at Rock am ring / Rock im park but I also recall listening to the album on the CD when it eventually came out and being very underwhelmed. I mean, its cool to hear some tracks early, but not ALL the tracks!Agree 100%. I personally don't mind a longer break this time because they really do deserve it and I think it will make them come back with something really incredible. Also I feel the same exact way about hearing songs early. I was so excited when we first heard the new songs at Rick IM Park and Rock AM Ring, but I was also underwhelmed when MX came out. I remember specifically being disappointed with how Jonny's guitar solo sounded. It's got such a great sound to it live, but to me the album version sounds a bit bland. I remember thinking that it was a keyboard when I first heard it. Also do you guys remember that they had opened the first show with Charlie Brown? Then the very next night they open with MX and Hurts Like Heaven. I always wondered why they chose to do Charlie Brown first. Maybe they were just trying to see what worked better as an opener? But they usually open with the first track so I don't know. Anyway, yeah I wouldn't mind them doing a festival but I wouldn't want to hear more than one or two songs. In fact, I would like to try and wait to hear the next album in its entirety first listen. I have yet to do that with a Coldplay album. I would love to sit down and listen to it start to finish without knowing what's coming. For example, by the time Viva La Vida came out, I had already heard Viva La Vida and Violet Hill, so I knew what those two tracks were when they came up. To be fair though you would have to try really hard not to hear Viva La Vida in 2008. Especially because the iTunes commercial played all the time, which was awesome. Maybe the next album will be the album I go in unspoiled. I always say that, but as soon as a teaser or a snippet of something comes up, I can never resist lol.

Captain Crieff Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 NEWS!?!??!?!??! https://festileaks.com/2018/08/gerucht-coldplay-plant-festivaltour-in-2019/ That article really just rounds up all the "rumours" of Coldplay headlining a festival here and there. Those "rumours" we get pretty much every year. So yeah that website doesn't know more than we do and personally I would say that Coldplay doing a festival tour in 2019 is about as likely as the pope doing a festival tour in 2019 lol 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they usually open with the first track so I don't know. I thought it was still MX/HLH to open? I do recall hearing/watching the video and the bass overpowering the recorder's mics. I also remember hearing Princess of China and being blown away. So many things I remember about those first pre-release shows. I remember one by one hearing each track with Up in Flames being last. Also remember the few songs we didn't hear turned out to be the short/snippet/instrumental ones and being disappointed in that. I dont think I could ignore or fight the urge to listen to whatever gets recorded before the release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking we were going to have two extra tracks and they ended up just being instrumental intros was so disappointing. Why not just attach it to the song? I absolutely hate when I shuffle music and A Hopeful Transmission comes on and is immediately followed up by something else completely random lol.

Coldplay's manager Dave Holmes has revealed that the band may be away from the limelight for a lot longer. "We won't be touring again until 2021 at the earliest," he told Music Business Worldwide. "We need to take a break and come back with something really special." See y'all in two years? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - it's becoming more obvious in interviews too. Still, he lives in the States now so what can we expect ? A bit sad though for us UK fans.

Stephie Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I mean, steal from the best, eh? :p I was at the first European show in Berlin on Friday and when that intro started, I briefly thought I had awoken from a weird dream in which I thought I was at a U2 show, but in reality was at yet another Coldplay concert, lol. As far as I know, the intro is reworked for the European shows and the Chaplin speech had not been used in North America. I actually liked that connection between my two favourite bands. It was very powerful with the pictures on the screen. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlylove Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I feel like Coldplay music follows me wherever I go. Over the past few days while out and about have heard AOAL, Speed of Sound, and a female singer cover Up & Up in public spaces. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the past few days while out and about have heard AOAL, Speed of Sound, and a female singer cover Up & Up in public spaces. For me, it's exactly the opposite. Yesterday, in a local city fest, the DJ was playing sh*tty brazilian "music" that you can listen to pretty often in Portuguese bars and clubs. I got sick of that and decided to go to a different stage to listen to some techno. Once i leave that stage, the DJ starts playing Viva La Vida. I was too far to go back to that stage, so I just decided to crawl down and cry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolina* Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I think Guy is such an underrated bassist. Yesterday I was at a store and a new song came on the radio. It was the bass at the beginning of All I Can Think About Is You and before I realized I was just thinking about how good the bass was and then I realized what the song was. Like I can see how some of his parts are pretty minimal but I don't understand how some people can think he really does nothing in any of their songs. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I can see how some of his parts are pretty minimal but I don't understand how some people can think he really does nothing in any of their songs. But that's what makes Coldplay great. Minimalist and simple. Whether it's a sound from Jonny's guitar, a bass line from Guy or a simple repetitive beat from Will, it comes together to make powerfully emotional music. It's not a terrible thing to say Guy physically doesn't do much in their songs, because he doesn't, but all he needs is a simple bass line to take the song to another level. Some of my favorite Guy songs- Birds, Sparks, Everything's Not Lost, AHFOD, White Shadows, Daylight, GPASUYF. And of course, Guy essentially created Magic, which is a damn good song. And Clocks is just a freaking masterpiece, everyone's part is spot on. I just wish Jonny would crank up the distortion a bit when playing Clocks live. And Yellow, like he used to. But that's a different discussion for another day :laughing: Guy doesn't make complex and intricate bass lines on those songs, but he doesn't need to in order to make a great bass line. Like Will said, he's just there to support the songs that Chris writes with a drum line, not go off on some otherworldly-Buddy Rich drum solo. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think sometimes being simple and minimalistic really helps tie a song together. There's actually some songs where I thought the bass was something else entirely. For example, the ending slide in ETIAW. I think Guy does a great job at adding supporting basslines.

onlylove Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 It just occurred to me recently how one sided it can be when you listen to a heart breaking song by an artist you love, and want to be able to respond back, "YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, IT WILL BE OK EVEN THOUGH IT RIGHT NOW SEEMS LIKE IT WON'T" Then you remember it is years later and they are fine and now you are wrecked anyway. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
