Thanks for that link btw :D

 

Glad I was able to help a fellow coldplayer :D

 

 

 

Actually, his mention of "funereal" is what gave the epiphany to type about the book. I saw it in there, and I was like, "That's the word Chris was thinking of!" :lol:

 

Edit: Wait. Was that in the South Bank Show? I can't even remember. I have watched/listened to too many interviews. :confused:

 

 

No I think he said that during a radio interview, hmmm I wanna say it was for the release of christmas lights but im not sure, maybe im way off. But it was a radio interview im 98% sure :P

 

I just wanted to see the south bank show again :D

I heard three different cp songs coming out of car stereos while I was out tonight. IMP, MM and Yellow! MM REALLY surprised me! :D

I rarely hear a CP track coming out of a car stereo around here. However, I did hear ETIAW playing a couple times a few weeks back.

It was in the radio interview with Ben Jones, it was also a podcast I think? They were discussing band-on-the-run songs and Chris said the beginning of Fix You was 'funeralesque' or 'funerial' or 'funerally'. Hahah I love Chris <3

same, unless it's mine :P

I have this disease where I have to blast LiTii from my car stereo almost every time I drive somewhere.

Ah yes you are right :D

I have that on my ipod, I knew it sounded very familiar :P

That podcast was the best!!! :heart: "I reckon it's a record?"

Rct: it still really sucks and makes me sad that couldn't go see them during the twisted logic tour :( it looked so amazing on tv! And when will I get to hear square one get played?!

I actually love the x&y album so I would have loved those shows :\

 

I hate that I hadn't even discovered Coldplay yet during that tour. I want to hear Swallowed In The Sea live! Sadly I think that ship has sailed. :(

They did play Square One at Brixton Academy in 2008 though! So I think you still have a chance of hearing it live! :nice:

I also loved the Xfm Residency thing they did. 'It's me Chris, Jonny and...What's your name again?' 'GAAAIII' 'You've lost your Scottish accent, haven't you.'

11 years!

 

 

:):lol::dance:

 

Yeah. You all are right. :) I listened to the podcast just before watching the South Bank Show. I switched them around. :P

I was a fan already and begged my mom to take me but she just didn't want to take me :(

I know that I like that song too.

I really hope they do play it live again! My sister and I were saying that they should've opened the festivals with square one :P

Awwww they were babies, and they were sooooo cute! :heart:

but hey now they are very handsome men :D

A festival is finally coming here to Vegas and Coldplay is headlining :dazzled::dazzled: Typical of Vegas for floor seats to be $289 for one. Guess I won't be sitting on the floor.

Are you buying presale? $289 is way too expensive. :( But I went to the next level of pricing and the seats that came out for that were horrible. They were in the purple section of the mgm seat map and had obstructed view. :confused: It doesn't make sense cause those tix were like $170.

I was going to but the tickets aren't looking that great. Sadly, a lot of them are already on Ebay. Coldplay won't be playing for the best crowd... a lot of em will be high rollers or people that only know their hit songs. I will still be there, even if I have to sit in the balcony :cry:

I'm listening to X&Y song right now, and noticing that I LOVE it...it's totally cool sound! my style of music :)

yeah I was thinking that too, Coldplay isn't going to have the best crowd supporting them. :shame: My fear is that I'll pay to go but then they won't even play for a long time since there are many artists on the lineup and the concert starts quite late. :/ I don't mind sitting on the balcony for this one either...but i don't know. The cheapest tix are $45 dollars but i have no clue just how bad those seats will be since they don't even have any for sale on the pre-sale currently.

Yeah, that's what sucks... we have no idea how long they will actually play. I've seen several shows at the MGM Grand, not the greatest venue in my opinion. Yeah, hopefully balcony seats will be available in the general sale, which starts on Saturday but I wouldn't be surprised if those seats are gone already. I am gonna go regardless.. but wish it was just Coldplay playing!

Yeah it would be nice if Coldplay were the only one playing. I might just have to wait until they go on their own tour...but hopefully those tix are available. I'm not sure how much my parents will want to pay for me to go. :P

It seems weird to me. When i think about the LP5 artwork we've seen on Chris's piano, Jonny's guitar's, Guy's bass, and their clothes. Because I notice that. It seems to be songs like Major Minus (the Major Minus Media symbol), Us Against the World (the swirls that fit to the "Through chaos as it swirls lyric"), Car Kids (on the back of Chris's shirt and on his pants too I believe, and on the piano and a few other things as well), U.F.O. (painted on Guy's bass, the weird UFO-like things on their outfits, sometimes next to the swirls) and MX (painted on the piano and all over their clothes).

 

I mean. It's as if three of the four best songs we've gotten to hear (as far as I'm concerned); Charlie Brown, Hurts Like Heaven, and Moving to Mars have gotten little love in the artwork form. I haven't seen anything relating to Charlie Brown (even though they said one day it would be an old favorite on a twitter post), Hurts Like Heaven has only one nod on one of Jonny's guitars (where it says "Spray can soul"), and Moving to Mars there's only that one "I heard it on the radio" painted on the picture of the guitar amp they posted. I can't help but wonder. Does this signify something? Everyone's praising Princess of China but that has just one nod on another one of Jonny's guitars ("Once upon a Time"). Even ETIAW only has that one teardrop on the piano and yet it's supposedly the 'lead single'. I just think it's incredibly weird. :confused:

 

It's almost to suggest that the main songs on the album will be Car Kids, U.F.O. (if that is a song which I believe it will be), MX, Major Minus, and Us Against the World? That just seems really weird somehow. That's not exactly what I would've thought when listening to all the songs they gave us (even though we haven't heard the first two of the ones I listed). I just feel really/weird confused. I thought Hurts Like Heaven and Charlie Brown were supposed to be like MAJOR songs. I don't know. Maybe it's just me. :thinking:

 

Edit: I would've made this a thread except I feel like I'm annoying everyone with all the threads I've been making lately so I put it in the random thoughts thing here instead. idk.

Yeah it would be nice if Coldplay were the only one playing. I might just have to wait until they go on their own tour...but hopefully those tix are available. I'm not sure how much my parents will want to pay for me to go. :P

 

I hope so too! I am sure once LP5 drops, they will announce a tour not too long after. I am moving to San Francisco in January for Graduate school and I won't be able to go to too many Coldplay shows once I am there so I am trying to go to as many festivals they are performing at this year as I can.

Maybe the outfits will change in a few months again?! ;)

 

I believe there are not so many VLV or Strawberry Swing hints on the artwork of the VIva tour...just wait and see...in the end its not important which songs are considered as the most important in the coldplay camp, the main point is that there will be a great LP with CB, HLH and so on. ;)

@all

 

I LOVE HOW CHRIS SAID AT OXEGEN DURING VIVA "FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK, 1,2,3 OHOHOHOHOHOHOHO" - STUNNING PERFORMANCE!!!

 

Can anyone give me the video of the gig in Barcelona of Viva, the unofficial DVD?!

Today I FINALLY got my ETIAW 7", CD and print in the mail!

 

Just wanted to share! I played the 7" and it was awesome! :awesome:

You make a good point! I shall keep that in mind. [:

 

Is it just me or do the new songs sound better the longer they play them live? Like significantly better. Especially Hurts Like Heaven and Charlie Brown even more. I don't know what it is, probably all the practice and working out bugs. But i had mp3's of these songs live for 6/3 and now I have the one's from 7/2 and it's pretty amazing what 1 month difference between live versions makes! :D
