January 11, 200818 yr Author I'm not sure the new management understands things well enough to be able to do that. Hmm... that gives me an idea...
January 11, 200818 yr mo, will this idea make me happy? will it give me hope? *crossing fingers* whatever they decide, though, coldplay has GOT to tell us what they've chosen to do, they owe us that. and i think they know that too. so i suppose that perhaps the next prospekt entry isn't going to be what i expected, but perhaps it'll have the same effect: it'll let me stop waiting for it.
January 11, 200818 yr Author :thinking:...come on, spill it...whats the idea? http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=42568
January 11, 200818 yr The next Prospekt journal entry will probably be very serious...and it'll have to mention EMI...
January 11, 200818 yr Author ^ I don't know... don't the label own some rights to the website? They probably couldn't use it as an official channel the way some other bands do about something that sticky. But I'm not sure, so don't quote me on that...
January 11, 200818 yr Maybe they could secretly tell us whats going on, through an old site...or even through here!!! :shocked2: I freak myself out too much about Coldplay lurking around here...
January 11, 200818 yr Author Maybe they could secretly tell us whats going on, through an old site...or even through here!!! :shocked2: I freak myself out too much about Coldplay lurking around here... Debs does... or at least has in the past. I don't think the guys do... she's said before that Chris doesn't even have an email address anymore. But you never know. As for press releases if it's all true and gets that far, I think they could do a lot more damage by going directly to the press.
January 11, 200818 yr I think they could be on here as guests...but, its just a thought. Freedom of speech is an amazing thing, like...no one's gonna shoot Chris is he says anything...well, I hope not :confused: :laugh3:
January 11, 200818 yr i think that if they couldnt use the site, then theyd use the myspace. i dont think EMI has anything to do with that (...do they?) but really, could a label prevent the artist from INFORMING the fans about what's going on via the internet? even if it turns out they don't have any rights to the website, i can't imagine prospekt or the guys inappropriately ranting against them to the point that they would get shirty. i think they'd just inform us of their reasons behind their decision and not be "immature" about it. and if they couldnt use the myspace because of effing EMI and if theyre really as wonderful and nice and concerned about the fans as i like to believe htey are, then i think as a last resort type-thing, they'd turn here. i cant imagine ian NOT letting them like, sign on once, write a post/a letter to us all about their choice, and let us respond. i can't imagine them becoming regular posters here or anything (at least not regular posters where we KNOW their identities :sneaky:), but technically i would assume they don't even have to have ian's permission to do such a thing because the board's open to anyone that wants to join (...to my knowledge...), including the people the board is devoted to! but really it would be MUCH more effective for them to get a hold of ian and ask him to tell us all that it will ACTUALLY be them posting on this day at this time so they can get ahold of us... ok, this is starting to become a fantasy, so i'm going to shut up now.
January 11, 200818 yr I think if Ian were to let them do that, he'd need proof it was them, like just a photo of them sitting in front of the screen with the website up...otherwise, I'd be very sceptical. It'd be nice to know that they would turn here...because they care for us the fans and they know we care a lot about them. Well, I know I do care a great deal for the bands well being.
January 11, 200818 yr Author ^^Yeah, I hope that they would talk to the fans directly if something is happening. It would mean a lot to us if they did for sure. Would put a lot of minds at ease. But it sounds like their manager has already been chatting with the press, and that seems to me to be the most likely route. But that's just me.
January 11, 200818 yr Author I think if Ian were to let them do that, he'd need proof it was them, like just a photo of them sitting in front of the screen with the website up... They already have ways of contacting him directly, from what I understand. Debs has an account here, and we know it's her.
January 11, 200818 yr As much as I want them to come on here (its not like I'm praying or anything....please please please please please please please please please please please), I know it is a last and final resort and would only happen if things got really dire!
January 11, 200818 yr that's true about it only happening if things were dire, but i think it would be ridiculously effective. frankly, i'd consider them very smart if they went ahead and did it that way. and mo's right about ian and debs and all that stuff...he's smart and wouldnt just be like "oh, i guess this is actually coldplay, then!" to some random letter in his mailbox if they were to do it that way. even if debs didnt have an account here, the simple fact that it's been said that coldplay knows about this place and realizes its strength (and coolness!!) tells me that they've got ways to contact ian if need be. i think this is turning into the mo, rachael, and chelsea thread :thinking: Well thats good news I guess how is this good news?

I think they would come here, if things started to get out of control because I think they know what their music means to us... Woah, this is starting to become a very deep and meaningful thread...
January 11, 200818 yr my deepness is born out of my despair and worry for the new album. which was sadly the thing i was looking forward to most for the short-term. besides in rainbows, 2007 was a dull music year for me in general (i didnt even go to a single concert, which is just unheard of for me), and the prospect (no pun intended) of a new coldplay album for 2008 (as well as U2 and oasis) automatically made it a brillo music year for me. and my life has gone/is going through some radical changes, so i was looking forward to having coldplay music, no matter how different and new, to keep me company along the way.
January 11, 200818 yr so i was looking forward to having coldplay music, no matter how different and new, to keep me company along the way. When you put it like that, I feel their music has kept me company through hard times (since Jan 06)...like that time I had a huge fall out with my friends...I remember going home and listening to Politik (to drain my anger) and then Green Eyes (to emphasize my sadness)...
January 11, 200818 yr yeah, i cant say i've had all that many hard times for them to get me through, but i've certainly had my fair share of little upsets that coldplay is also great for getting you through, even when you could have done it on your own. theyre just such a comfort. and besides that, i love them. and i'm heartbroken now that we might not get to hear their development, at least not anytime soon. anyway, emma, i'm going to go to bed; it's almost 1:30 AM. i'll lament and debate with you more tomorrow :D in the meantime i'm keeping my fingers crossed for us somehow still getting LP4 in 2008 on schedule! you know i am!
January 11, 200818 yr It's hard not to love Coldplay:D! But the amazing thing is, I love them but I still love their music. Its not like most teenage girls who only like them because of Guy, but I actually really really really like their music!
January 11, 200818 yr It's hard not to love Coldplay:D! But the amazing thing is, I love them but I still love their music. Its not like most teenage girls who only like them because of Guy, but I actually really really really like their music! im totally agree with u, rachael.... :laugh3:
January 11, 200818 yr Why does some stupid thing with EMI have to affect them releasing their album!? (its alrite, i kinda know why, you dont need 2 explain)..but still GAH!!! wat dyu mean delay?! :cry:
