March 21, 200818 yr i think there is no real discussion about it by now so i think i have to ask: don't you too think that the quote signs prospekt made to announce the album title earlier that week were set wrong? to my mind, coldplay will never make an album called VLVODAAHS. so prospekt wrote this: 'Viva la vida or Death and all his friends' but ment 'Viva la vida' or 'Death and all his friends' thats what i think
March 21, 200818 yr don't think so at all, cause the quotation marks actually were a correction of the original entry (which was without quotations). so no, it's official :smug:
March 21, 200818 yr 'Fraid not. There was some confusion when it was first posted and we all though it meant OR and we were all voting but then he amended it so there were quotation marks around it. It has also been cited as the title in this article: http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdail...udio-coldplay/

I thought they were still hesitating between the two.. but then I came here and read properly
March 21, 200818 yr i always thought that it was meant this or that title...:shocked2: would sound really weird such a long title... plus, i wonder who those 'friends of death' are...? diseases? pains?...worries? who are the *§$%&!! friends of death???????? viva????? anyone got an idea? :thinking:
March 21, 200818 yr ^^ they're probably all the negative sides of life, every single thing that annoys you someday in your life.. there might be many interpretations and Chris wont explain any !
March 21, 200818 yr :thinking: It's what Freda Kahlo suffered from :confused: oh yea, you're right! (jammingmyhead) :embarassed: saw the movie with selma hayek and i loved it. but using a paintings title as a title for an album? always thought mr. martin was creative...
March 21, 200818 yr oh yea, you're right! (jammingmyhead) :embarassed: saw the movie with selma hayek and i loved it. but using a paintings title as a title for an album? always thought mr. martin was creative... He is ! he always says he steals stuff from other artists and then creates something new with it !
March 21, 200818 yr He is ! he always says he steals stuff from other artists and then creates something new with it ! i know but the painting is already called viva la vida and mr. martin did nothing new with it, he just copied it 1:1.
March 21, 200818 yr well, he added "or death and all his friends" :laugh3: i KNEW you've meant that :laugh3:
March 21, 200818 yr Ahhh I didn't realise that Prospekt actually posted that without the quotation marks initially and that it was altered. I saw the 2 screenshots on the news page but didn't realise. Anyways.
March 24, 200818 yr after reading it the very first time I honestly thought I was all one big title and then came over here and people were already voting on one or the other. Its not soo bad
March 24, 200818 yr maybe they will divide the album in have like they did with X 1-6 and Y 1-6. Im not really sure, though. Its impossible to know what coldplay's up too
March 24, 200818 yr I think it's such a strange way of making a sentence, an album title or whatever. At first, it makes no sense at all, apart from the fact that it makes me think of themes like death and life, one side versus another side or how they're related. But it all seems too obvious. I shall wait and see it before saying (more) stupid things.
March 24, 200818 yr If the quotations were added later I think it could just as easily have been a joke. I hope so anyway. Maybe coldplay was just 'having a laugh'.
March 24, 200818 yr :lol: Hey, Ian! don't forget Brewer's Drip, Tennis Elbow and Runner's Knee! Believe me, there's been PLENTY of discussion on this topic!:lol: But there's always room for more. It does seem official now though. It's actually kind of following the recent trend in book titles. A lot of authors are coming up with extremely long subtitles to explain what the actual title means. It's not the exact same thing, but similar.
March 24, 200818 yr maybe they will divide the album in have like they did with X 1-6 and Y 1-6. Im not really sure, though. Its impossible to know what coldplay's up too I hadn't thought of that. That's a really good possibility!
March 24, 200818 yr Also, what if they made it two discs? Disc 1 Viva La Vida or Disc 2 Dearth And All His Friends
