yea. i agree. im actually not that big a fan. i just enjoy some of their songs. but like i think of them as mexicos U2 cuz of how big they are in Mexico and that people would blindly go buy their album just because they are so big. cuz honestly i didnt like their album... well i forgot the name but the one with cover of the girl's boots.

 

anyways theyre still pretty cool. and i like that coldplay met them :)

last viva la vida tour questions and answers :bigcry:

Q. Dear Oracle, first of all I have to say that yesterday was the most amazing concert I've ever been to, and hope you guys come back pretty soon. My question is, did the Coldplay-shaped puppets made it to Monterrey? they seem to be MIA around here

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

I'm surprised they survived the tour to be honest. I don't know whether to blame Tequila for their behaviour in Guadalajara; as you can see by that photo they were certainly not at their best. It was a very hot day and they weren't in the mood to go to Zapopan Catedral, Teatro de Gollando or Acueducto.

There was a party here in Monterrey on Wednesday night for all the crew members, Bat for Lashes and of course the band. That was quite a late night and so the following morning the pesky puppets were, as you say, missing in action.

They even refused to have their photo taken with the real band members yesterday.

There will be one last photo but I doubt it will be a scenic shot of this wonderful terrain. It's a shame because I quite fancied taking them on a trip to Mirador del Obispado.

Q. I suppose the band ends up feeling extra hyper after a show... what do they do to cool down and finally get a good night sleep?

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

On this tour we have had aftershow parties which are actually rather civilized gatherings. We'd arrive back at the hotel probably a maximum of 20 mins after the fireworks had gone off and meet up again for food, drinks and chat. The bedtimes varied but Guy was always the first to retire and the first to emerge for breakfast.

I say now would be a good time for them to re-do the AROBTTH Tour for those who didn't get to go :(

Yeah sure, blame the condition the puppets are in to the tequila and the heat :dozey: hahah :P

A real Coldplay with the puppets pic would be nice.

First to go to bed????What happened to party/drunk-on-the-pavement-without-shoes-on boy???He's indeed all grown up.That's so cute :D What on earth happened to him :D Maybe having a kid does change you a lot?Or maybe that's why he looks so fit these days.

Q. I'm so curious... what really happened to the puppets? Was the tequila as I've heard? Or the atmosphere in Bogota? It seems that the tour got them tired a lot! Poor puppets... I think they deserve some rest :) Haha .. I really hope you enjoyed the whole tour, thanks a lot for coming.

See you soon ...

..We love you! :D

 

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

 

I blame the altitude! I will let you into a secret. I actually left Chris' leg in the back of a car in Rio; it had fallen off and I hadn't noticed. We were reunited very quickly and the following day he was given to the crew carpenter as he had a severe head injury; basically the back of it had come apart. As you can see the puppets took a beating on this gruelling tour and sadly didn't quite make it until the end. It's a shame they weren't photographed well in Guadalajara and of course at all in Monterrey.

Id this question from a Coldplayer???

Q. Dear Oracle: in the concert in Mexico City on March 7 in the "Foro Sol", how did Chris knows that day was the day of the family?? Because he said in Spanish "feliz dia de la familia" - thanks for answer.

 

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

 

We'd heard earlier in the day because the area around the hotel was closed to vehicles. A few people had ventured out to go shopping and seen families with children playing in the streets for themselves. The band do take an interest in what's going on around them and that's also why Chris is very keen to speak the local language with a few colloquialisms thrown in; there was a pretty rude word used in Guadalajara much to the crowd's delight!

I asked a question.. that ain't gonna be answered.

Chingado? Cabrón? :thinking: I'm not sure which one she was talking about, I don't consider them rude, but it was funny hearing Christ say them though :P

Yay mexican swears! :cheesy:

Chris swearing in spanish is so freakin' hot :dead:

Q. Dear Oracle,

I want to show you a clip, I think these children deserve to be seen.

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

Seen? Well they definitely deserve to be heard but I have to say the visual made me queasy. Yes, the Oracle is not a fan of 'performing' children but I must confess... they're great! Also you may not believe this but the band were watching this clip in their dressing room before the show in Guadalajara last week! I kid you not - no pun intended.

^awww that,s great that they've seen it
