onlylove 785 Posted September 22, 2018 I'm an "allplayer" but agree that especially with Mumford &Sons the instrumentation is what I loved equally to vocals and it has died more and more each album. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always say this when people say they don't like Chris Martin. Like I understand not liking Coldplay's music, but how can you not like Chris?!

onlylove 785 Posted September 30, 2018 Very circa-AROBTTH era though! Does anyone feel like he's lost weight too? Very AROBTTH era! Like how does one age backwards? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jc90 2716 Posted September 30, 2018 Very circa-AROBTTH era though! True, but it worked better at the time when he was skinnier. Now he's bulkier and it doesn't look as good paired with the haircut. But really, I just spent time critiquing another man's haircut. I can let it go if he releases the live album, or gives us a release date of the next album or something! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I ran away 12694 Posted September 30, 2018 I don't get why everyone says AROBTTH Era, it reminds me much more of the short haircut in the GS Era (perhaps indeed because he overall no longer looks like in the AROBTTH Era)... As for the Global Citizen incident, I gathered from first-hand accounts on Twitter that loads of people got trampled on and many were injured, people separated and belongings lost. Apparently several police officers down on the field told the crowd to leave because there was a shooter, thus propagating the panic. Global Citizen is heavily being criticized for just letting the show go on regardless, and worst of all for those who were told to run out, none of them was allowed back in !! Honestly, what a disastrous organization from both police/security and GC. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly, what a disastrous organization from both police/security and GC. I thought everyone was allowed back in after things had calmed down a bit? What I find weird is that on all the photos I've seen, the only type of barrier is this one I really thought every big event ever used these guys by now No wonder a fence fell if it was one of that first type, just leaning against them already makes them fall. Awful crowd control. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I ran away 12694 Posted September 30, 2018 I thought everyone was allowed back in after things had calmed down a bit? I mean, I wasn't there, but the comments on Global Citizen's tweets and the general hashtag #GlobalCitizen were full with complaints from people who weren't let back in 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Crieff 1818 Posted September 30, 2018 Statement: https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/global-citizen-festival-2018-message/ While NYPD originally advised that a fallen security barrier caused the noise, NYPD informed us today that it was the sound of an attendee(s) stepping on and popping a drink bottle(s). Once NYPD and FDNY determined that the situation was safe, and security infrastructure was established for re-entry, attendees were permitted to re-enter the event through select entrances, and the Festival resumed. Unfortunately, while every effort was made to quickly re-open the gates, we regret some attendees were unable to re-enter the Park, and for that we apologize. okay not a barrier after all then :| 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I ran away 12694 Posted October 1, 2018 Whatever the source of the noise was, the official account of what happened has been called into question by many attendees (again, see Twitter replies to Global Citizen's tweet of the statement). And to be honest I trust those people's accounts (including the videos of the panic) more than the official version. Statements like that are always designed to refute any responsibility and ensuing legal trouble. I was in the Coldplay Munich security/bag chaos and there was a huge discrepancy between the official statement of the show promoter and what I experiencend and saw myself, I can only imagine it's similar here. Also...gun control, damnit ! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I ran away 12694 Posted October 2, 2018 Recently got reminded of the Scientist screensaver download from that old 2002 Coldplay.com e-zine, and the fact that, amazingly, after 16 years those links still work.

M Marks The Spot 1161 Posted October 6, 2018 Lately, in my case I've been noticing that there's something quite mysterious and wonderful about the Coldplay's music. I'm not sure how to explain but it's just all about the way I feel when I listen to their songs. Most of them are really ethereal and touching so I often feel moved as I can hear and understand the lyrics. At the same time thanks to them I know that everything may be alright one day and it's not lost after all. In my opinion their delivery is so convincing that I can relate to their words as if they knew what it takes to live a life as a ordinary person who goes through ups and downs like everyone else. On the other hand, I'm certain that sometimes I might be able to understand what the band members are experiencing in their lives. It's like mutual empathy which catches me off guard each time I remember and think about it. That's why I appreciate their music more than ever before. Has anybody of you ever been in this exact situation and had the same thoughts as me? 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has anybody of you ever been in this exact situation and had the same thoughts as me? It is very much like this for me and why I struggle to listen to other artists' discographies. While I used to ruminate and be down a lot and wallow in it, now I like to be uplifted by music and Coldplay consistently does that for me. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has anybody of you ever been in this exact situation and had the same thoughts as me? You've summed this up pretty perfectly. This is precisely how I feel. I can listen to 90% of their released music from the first 6 album eras and not get sick of it. Their music takes me to another universe. I don't always understand what Chris' lyrics are trying to convey, but the music makes me feel exactly what the lyrics are saying. And no other band or artist has this effect on me. I've tried and tried to find other artists that come close to Coldplay for me, but can't. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
