Hmmmm old photos... Love the idea... I'll try to find something... :D

It's so nice that he asks for help from us with it too! :nice: He could easily have done it with the help of friends and family! :heart:

^^maybe it is such a huge project that he needs tons and tons of pictures. :wacky: I wonder what he'll do with them though. :thinking:

Well this could be fun! I'm quite excited! I wonder what his overall project is..

That's SO freaking cool ! I'm really curious to know what this project is exactly though !

Yes, that's very cool... but I'm not sure where I would find pictures that aren't (my) family photos. Maybe at an antique store or something like that? :thinking:

There are often old pictures left in second hand frames and things! At least there are here in Sweden :nice: I'm going on a hunt tomorrow! :awesome:

Hey Guy, what's in it for me? :thinking:

 

:P

It must be a huge project because he's going to receive lots and lots of pictures :thinking:

 

Cool idea to invite Coldplay fans to help him :nice:

Maybe they are going to put certain old pics together and use them on the screens as their backdrop during their next tour????

 

Fanbased CD cover???

 

I am sure it has to do with the new CD or Tour, and that Guy isn't just wanting them for his own personal use to create a wall collage for his house:lol:

:dance:

The Oracle said in one of the answers that Guy's project is not related to Coldplay stuff ;)

Pfft! She's obviously lying! :rolleyes: :P

^ You must of read my post in the who's gonna do Guy's project thread:laugh3:

OK, I will check the thread you're talking about and see what it's all about because I'm a bit confused now :confused:

 

(And girls, it's not nice mocking me :P)

Nooo noooo. we were not mocking you, I thought it was funny cause I posted almost the same thing on the other Guy project thread and Anna posted on this thread at the same time, we were saying the oracle, who is believed to be DebsWild was lying, but in a tongue in cheek thingy... Having a laugh, not you:kiss:

I was totally misunderstanding you, my bad :embarrassed:

I should have checked the Guy project thread before posting here :facepalm:

And, indeed, the coincidence you're talking about is quite funny :D

Aw it's ok;)

Great :nice:

Use to, I never read R#42, but as of lately, I've become a fan. I hope some more LP5 news comes soon (from Roadie, of course).

Watch 'The Lazarus Effect'

May 25, 2010 10:45 pm

Check out a powerful new film by the (RED) campaign

 

Good evening. If you get a spare half hour, please do watch the new "The Lazarus Effect" film by (RED) and HBO. The 30 minute film shows that in as few as 40 days people with HIV/AIDS can undergo a remarkable transformation and be brought back to life if they have access to the two lifesaving pills that cost around 30 pence / 40 cents a day in Africa. You can watch it below:

I love Spike Jonze! :awesome:

Chris and Jonny's slasher flick appearance unearthed!

May 27, 2010 5:48 pm

Tim Wheeler tells us about their appearance in Ash's Slashed film

WARNING: This film is a bit scary in places and contains swearing. Viewer discretion is advised.

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJrtkfRjSjQ&feature=player_embedded]YouTube- Ash - Binary | Slashed: The music video (Part 1)[/ame]

 

Good afternoon. A few years ago, Chris and Jonny were persuaded to star in Slashed, a horror movie made on the road by Northern Irish band Ash. The film never saw the light of day and has since become the stuff of legend. But now, Ash have decided to use some of the footage for the video of their new single, Binary, which is out this week. We called up Ash's frontman Tim Wheeler to find out more about Slashed and Coldplay's role in it.

 

Hi Tim. How did Chris and Jonny come to be in Slashed?

We were on tour with Coldplay, doing a lot of support slots in America in 2002. When you're a support band, you've got a lot of free time, so we decided to make a slasher movie on the road. And then we kept meeting so many interesting people and getting them involved. It was kind of amazing how much fun we had and how many people wanted to join in on the action. Dave Grohl is in it too.

 

Did you think Chris and Jonny were good actors?

I thought they were incredible! They really showed us up. They brought an air of professionalism to the whole thing and they were really game for the laugh of it. Later on in the film, they get totally doused in blood and they were absolutely fine with it. They were both really funny as well. It's good to see their comedy side.

 

Why has it taken so long for Slashed to appear?

Well, we never quite finished it. I guess in the end, I was meant to get killed and our manager was meant to get killed, but I think we just ran out of time and energy. And because we never completed it, it didn't make sense to put it together. But since then, YouTube has come into existence and it's perfect for something like this, so we figured we'd stick it on one of the videos for one these 26 singles which Ash are putting out this year. It was kind of like, if we don't do it now, we'll probably never do it.

 

Are you still friends with Chris?

Yeah, we've been pretty close friends for a while now.

 

And you're a fan of Coldplay?

Oh absolutely. I've always loved what they do.

 

Did you see Coldplay on the Viva tour?

Yeah, I saw them in Belfast. I always seem to get a nice shout-out when I go and see them! Chris has been known to play Shining Light sometimes too - I remember he did that when I went to see them in Kentish Town once. That was a real buzz.

 

He does seem to be a genuine Ash fan.

I think so, yeah. He talks about hearing Angel Interceptor when he was 18 years old. He realised that we were the same age as him and he says he was intensely jealous and didn't actually want to like it, but then couldn't help himself! I think he said he saw us play at the London Astoria in '97. And I remember Will said that when they were at university he sat around trying to figure out how to play Goldfinger, which has got some quite tricky chords in it. Then, when we met them a few years later, we just really connected.

 

Doesn't legend have it that you met them on the street?

I think they walked by me when they were recording up in Highbury, but they said they didn't have the guts to talk to me then! Haha! I think we met properly at a festival in Norway in 2001, when I got talking to Chris. Then later that night me and him and a bunch of people went swimming in a fjord at 4am and I got totally stung on my feet by a jellyfish! After that night, we became really good mates.

 

And you've even collaborated with Coldplay.

Yeah, I played guitar on 1.36, which was one of the B-sides of The Scientist, and then Chris sings on Everybody's Happy Nowadays, a Buzzcocks cover we did for the Shaun of the Dead movie. He's also on one of our B-sides, called We Don't Care. And we've toured a lot together. So, yeah, there's a lot of mutual love there, I think.

 

Chris and Jonny do work well as a screen double act.

Absolutely. I think their role in Coldplay is very much like Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. You can tell those two really love each other. There's a lot of affection there. They're sweet guys.

 

And there's more to come from them in Slashed?

There is. I don't want to give the plot away too much, but both of those characters meet a very gruesome end!

 

Do you think they have careers ahead of them as horror movie actors?

Oh, I think they're more versatile than that - I wouldn't restrict them to slasher B-movies. Or, in the case of our one, more of a Z-movie!
