Captain Crieff 1822 Posted September 13, 2018 Looking for Coldplay family members on Facebook is intrusive and pointless imho...they deserve some privacy :eyes: YES THANK YOU. it really creeps me out 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I ran away 12754 Posted September 13, 2018 By the way, I wonder if Coldplay will rename their charity foundation again ;) It used to be called J VAN MARS Foundation, an acronym of all their kids' prenames at that point and then they changed it to JJ VAN MARS to include Jonny's newborn kid.

I ran away 12754 Posted September 13, 2018 The S isn't even standing for any name, is it ? It was just used to make the word "Mars" I think. So how about: JJ VAN MARL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftrightleftArchi 1149 Posted September 15, 2018 Hey guys, haven't been on the forums in a good while. Its nice to see this thread still being active. Hope some of you haven't forgotten about me lol. So user @arushofjacktothehead recently restarted an old series of his a while back called "Mixtape Exchange". To sum it up in one sentence, it consists of essentially curating a mix of some songs that you like (from any artist) and exchanging it with another participating Coldplayer. If any of you guys are interested, do check out this thread: https://coldplaying.com/forum/index.php?threads/mixtape-exchange-20-reviews-tracklists.114522/ Honestly, it'd be great if we could get this going because it sounds really fun and interesting!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carolina* 685 Posted September 16, 2018 Just truly had a random Coldplay thought. The general public doesn't seem to know or care anything about the non-Chris members of Coldplay but then one of their most iconic song moments ever, the ohwoahohs during Viva la Vida, is like 90% Will? (Correct me if I'm wrong about this-it seems to be the case live at least) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Correct me if I'm wrong about this-it seems to be the case live at least) Well it's like that stand up routine where he talks about how the luckiest person in the world is "the drummer from Coldplay" bc he is insanely rich yet gets to live a private life, all whilst sitting down! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I ran away 12754 Posted September 18, 2018 Remember the time when we did a very long Coldplaying Listening Party with acoustic song versions ? I put the playlist on Youtube now for everyone to listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Im-PpjR3MUA Mobile Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Im-PpjR3MUA&feature=youtu.be 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I ran away 12754 Posted September 20, 2018 Unfortunately I don't know how to record it... By the way, if you're from outside the UK and get an error message and don't wanna go via a different IP, just plug in a UK postcode, then deny the registration and click on 'Just let me listen now' and it will work. Alternative international links you can see here: [MEDIA=twitter]1041774611011129344[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://twitter.com/XylotoJ/status/1041774611011129344 Also, there is a Listening Party on Twitter going on under the hashtag #AbsoluteRadioColdplay Oh, and I really like the look of the Absolute Radio homepage ! :D 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zero Theory 1175 Posted September 20, 2018 They went right from GPASUYF, to The Scientist, to Clocks. If only Daylight was next :pensive: Another bonus, Chris didn't even lip sync Clocks that time! EDIT: As @I ran away pointed out, he totally did lip-sync Clocks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zero Theory 1175 Posted September 21, 2018 I think he did ? Yeah I think you're right now listening back again:D. It's surprising because London Palladium is a pretty small gig, and he seemed to do it live for most small gigs during AHFOD. But every stadium and arena was definitely lip-synced. I guess I am still in denial that Coldplay would ever do such a thing. Especially to my favorite ever song :pensive: 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coldplaykb 1483 Posted September 21, 2018 Yeah I'm surprised they did it at pro shot gigs. The first time I noticed it was while watching Glastonbury. You could definitely tell he was lip synching. I understand doing it, but why not just sing it for all the pro shot gigs? It's a dead give away.Yeah I think you're right now listening back again:D.

lennyrott1 1203 Posted September 21, 2018 Unwarranted and unsolicited Oldplayer thought incoming -- I was just listening to some Oldplay albums today and relishing the awesome production and layers of instrumentation. Then, I listened to Mumford and Son's (a band whose first two albums I adore) new single Guiding Light. I was shocked how lackluster the production in the song was. The instrumental felt washed out with this faint guitars, barely audible guitar strums, and incredibly simple drumming that contributes nothing. It sounds like everything is a plain white wall that Marcus Mumford's vocals can be moodily splashed on. What's this got to do with Coldplay? Well, Paul Epworth, who produced Ghost Stories, is producing the new Mumford and Sons LP. Now to be clear, I love Ghost Stories. But it's also Coldplay's most frustrating albums in many ways because SO MUCH of the instrumentation gets lost in the mix in favor of Chris's vocals. Jonny's electric guitar when heard live is stunning on every track, but only half of that comes through in the album. Paul Epworth has worked on a ton of great stuff. Don't want to tarnish him or his career. But it goes to show how important producers are. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
