Apparently Capitol didn't read the quote either...

Coldplay's label dismisses 2-1 offer claims

 

Bosses at COLDPLAY's record label Capitol are baffled by frontman CHRIS MARTIN's claim the band is running a two-for-one promotion on its new album.

Martin told British newspaper the Daily Mirror the band wanted to encourage fans to pay for LP Viva La Vida or Death and all his Friends, by offering a deal to those who download it online.

He claimed that for every track that a fan downloads, they will get to choose another one free.

Martin told the newspaper, "Buy one get one free, it comes from working in Kwik Save (British budget supermarket), I think.

"As I said before nobody buys albums any more, certainly no body buys full albums and we've made an album that you have to have from start to finish."

But Capitol executives know nothing of the promotion. A high ranking boss tells WENN, "I checked with their (Coldplay's) management. This appears to be incorrect."

Well I'm sure the money hungry pricks are major pissed when they have to spend profits off their cash cow knocking down rumors....the poor worthless sack of shit bastards.

All I'm saying is they didn't

read the quote either, apparently. (As per the re-posted article in my previous post)

Its interesting how much this album is whipping everyone into a frenzy, and confusing people. I don't recall it being so feisty in here back in 2006 after X&Y was released, but maybe I missed all the 'excitement'. I'm not talking about this thread in particular, just in general though.

Sorry, just couldn't be bothered to go find the Random Thoughts thread :P

Translation:

 

Martin told British newspaper the Daily Mirror= The Daily Mirror read in the NME interview about how the band grouped songs together there by creating a 2 for 1 deal on a single song download and took the quote out of text and as only a sleazy paper can do and transformed it into to people can buy any song they choose and then select another song for free because Chris "told us so"

 

That is what EMI had to defend...the Daily Mail BS, not anything Chris said.

Actually it like this on every record. Half the people HATED AROBTTH (Yes they really did!) and half the people HATED X&Y....and so it goes.

Half the people still seem to hate X&Y (sad but true), and yes. The Mirror's BS really is the culprit here.

Haha, well I guess that makes sense. Quite surprised about AROBTTH, but still. Looks like I'll have to get used these intense periods if I decide to stay on the forum long term.

OMG Chris Martin was just spotted with his wedding ring on the wrong finger.....DIVORCE any minute now! How's he gonna survive when Gwenyth takes all his moneys and he's giving away music for free or 2 for 1.

Yeah, it came up earlier this week that it was this crazy for the other albums, but you and I weren't on the forum, so this just seems different than the others. (Check out the 'Releases' forum if you want to see for yourself)

 

It's a crazy time, but it's fun...mostly...;)

Point wall made! A little speculation is fun for me, but it's just too easy to start rumours forcing Damage Control by the band and the label. (I'm sorry, I'm still not a fan of the 'Bigs', but they do have better ways to spend the money.:))

Too many people take the I heard it on the internet/I read it in a crappy gossip rag, so it must be true approach on here.

 

I'm not sure why so many people on here feel the need to speculate or find some super secret hidden thing in every fucking little thing but for fucks sakes people....the record will be what it will be. It will be released when it is fucking released. Why must you all constantly search the closets looking for your Christmas presents. Part of the joy and excitement is coming down stairs on Christmas morning and finding what Santa has left you.

i think you might be my favorite person on this forum.... haha no joke. i agree with everything you are saying. i completely agree. however i'm too much of a pussy to say this stuff primarily because im basically a newbie and its not my place to. so thank you.

Fair enough. If the album leaked right now, I wouldn't download it, but all these little extras the band are hading out are sure nice.:)

 

Honestly, it looks from my experience like they're going to keep doing that, but until we know for sure what they're up to, the speculation just passes the time. It's like that with the X Files movie too. No-one really thinks they know what's going to happen, but the guessing game keeps up busy until the movie's out.

 

(I never snuck into my gifts early, but I liked getting useless hints from my mother...it was always just for fun, and so is this...at least for me. I can't speak for anyone else.)

Okay this is all nuts and very confusing. Coldplay are probably enjoying how much crazy specualtion there is about every single thing they say. And trust me, they read some of these threads (how else would they have known everyone here thoght the album would be called "Prospekt"?)

They are probably just being like the Beatles and saying things and giving hints so that everyone will go nuts. Theyre loving this!

 

 

BTW: Im considering just not reading these threads anymore and just waiting for actual news. Awww, who am I kidding? I cant stay away from these crazy rumors!!:D:D:D

Well in't she a bitchy loud mouthed cunt is more than likely what most people say when they read my posts, but thanks.

a.) I think Angie has more common sense than almost anyone on here.

 

and

 

b.) Newbie or not, if you have something to say, and you're not insulting others in the way you say it...open yer mouth!!:D

Nah. It's easy to tell when you're in a bad mood, but I'd still take that over a lot of the BS around here.:)

Oh I don't know, maybe because everyone from Amazon to the entire press was calling the LP Prospekt. :thinking: Or maybe because I may be a member of Coldplay in disguise......obsessed with Jonny, must make me Chris Martin! OMG I've been found out! :stunned:

"...it is not a crazy idea to think that now he has decided to release an album with the big songs! And that would be a gift to Coldplay fans..."

 

hahaha. I love that. Because it seems sooooo possible.

 

I'm behind you 100 percent of the way.

I knew it all along!!:D

 

(And don't worry. When Gwyneth takes all your moneys for having the ring on the wrong finger, Jonny'll take care of you!)

haha i'm USUALLY pretty good at letting everyone know my opinons on here... i just wouldnt be as blunt about them (like texasluvsjonny) because i havent built a reputation on here yet like she has (but sometimes i WOULD love to be more blunt and a little more vulgar...hehe). i just don't want people to label me as a jerk (not saying you sound like a jerk 'texas..' because you certainly don't!) because i'm really not at all... just very opiniated at times. but thanks for making me feel welcome!

no need to fight! but let's have respect for each other!!!

 

anyone can say whatever they want! that's why it's a forum!

for some updates on the interview an aussie journalist did to the guys! (if you haven't heard it yet!!!)

 

cheers!

Aorry to keep being such a post-whore,lol.

 

I really HOPE you guys are right, and it does seem possible. But I'll be happy if it isn't true. They've already given us so much more than usual.

Nah. It's easy to tell when you're in a bad mood, but I'd still take that over a lot of the BS around here.:)

Not so much in a bad mood, but damn it I come here to look at my Jonny and have to dig back 4 or 5 pages to find him because some kind of a retard bomb has gone off on here. People don't have to make a thread for every fucking thought that comes into their heads. A thread about VH cool. 40,000 threads about VH not so cool. Take that shit over to the Releases section. Jonathan Mark Buckland does not EVER fucking belong on page 5. :angry:
