I sent in:

Nice to see Phil hanging around Coldplay.com these days. Is he back to actively managing the band or just around to lend support and advice?

Sneaky.

 

And Ian's :laugh3: oh God please let them read that one out (without the profanities perhaps)

 

If they read out one from Cobalt that's me!! :cool:

I asked them if the writing/recording process was different for this album. Usually Chris has ideas on guitar/piano and he takes it to the band. I was wondering how Brian Eno got them out of their comfort zone and if the process was different for this record.

i just sent in a new question, because this topic is kind of bothering me:

 

"Hi Coldplay!

I was wondering a bit about the album art. Could you tell us why you chose the painting that you did and what it means to you? Also, there is an album cover for Dragon Ash's "Viva La Revolution" which is very similar to your album art here, and the albums even have similar titles. Was this similarity intentional, and if it was, could you explain why you chose to pay homage to this band?

Thank you so much!"

 

i think my question might be too long for them to answer on air, though :sad:

even if they dont pick your question on the Today show, I'm sure we'll get an answer somehow.. we probably wont be the only ones to wonder whether there's a link with that band or not.

Here`s the question I submitted... hopefully they´ll answer it

Greetings to everyone from Mexico!!!

 

"How has the art of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo influenced in your new CD, besides the album title?"

What is goin on!!!??? Where are they? Did they forget about us? we get like 1 new star a day for a month or so, and now we only get 2 in almost 3 weeks! I hope everything is ok. :thinking:

 

 

Hopefully they are reading us right now and taking notes of what their most devoted fans (through thick and thin, ha ha) are saying and want

^we'll have the single by that time.

 

i think everyone should send in that question using a seldom-used or fake email address: HOW OFTEN DO YOU READ COLDPLAYING.COM?

if it's sent in enough times, they're bound to answer it! :laugh4: :P

 

I just did it, and i am going to do it again

 

I also asked to please play "One I Love" Damn that song can jam.

I'm thinking of asking if they pay attention to Coldplaying.com and what they think of all of the input! Thoughts?

I asked about the disposable cameras from their 2006 tour and if they've ever seen any of the pictures they took backstage and stuff, and if they are planning anything special like that for this year's tour.

I have to think of a very profound, thought-provoking question so I won't seem like an idiot. :sweatdrop: And I have to spell my name phonetically just in case they say it. :cheesy:

I know that when you record you like to mix things up and try a new formula. Are their certain things about your style that you always want to stay the same?

 

How's that? :uhoh:

 

This is exactly what I wrote!

 

"I know that when you record a new album you like to mix things up and try a new formula each time. Are their certain things about your style that you always want to stay the same? Viva La Vida is gorgeous! Keep up the good work!"

I sent something about winning Golden Tickets in the VLV album so 5 lucky winners can get a tour of the bakery.

Good idea. :dance:

god help me, i sent in ANOTHER effing question. but really, because i'll be there, them asking a question of mine would make me EXTRA happy :P

 

Hi Coldplay!

One of my favorite songs on the new album is "Chinese Sleep Chant." But what ARE the lyrics?! Could you tell us? I think everyone has their own ideas, but we'd love to have the answer straight from the source.

whoevers going....we shouldmeet up bc im going by myself and i dont want to be lonely

Today questions

 

my two questions were:

"If you didn't have Coldplay or music, if each of your greatest musical talents were playing the spoons or the triangle, what would you each be doing as a career instead?"

 

my other one was about whether they have given any thought on how they plan to follow up their last two overly successful albums, and if it was a nerve-racking thing to approach.
