Tash Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 November 8, 2012 - submitted by Jeremy, United States of America Q. Dear Oracle, I saw a tracklist for Live 2012 from the official announcement on this very website, and I have to say, it's rather disappointing. Not that the songs are bad, but where's The Scientist, Politik, Shiver, and Lost!? Why can't Violet Hill be available on the DVD. I did pre-order a copy, but I just was curious. Thanks, Jeremy The Oracle replies: The DVD is made up of the majority of the show but not every song performed was included. Violet Hill is on the DVD though - but just not on the CD. Lost! or Shiver weren't on the MX Tour set list. Neither was Politik at all actually. Some songs were only played a handful of times and that's why they were omitted. The Scientist was in the set & as far as I know is included as a bonus track as is Don't Let It Break Your Heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatchamp Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 We are turning their heads out.... That one really surprises me! I know! Why would it not be on Live 2012? It was a very important song- that's when the balls would fall on the crowd! And there has never been a live version released... Very sad. Considering its Live Version tops its Original. :stunned: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraceOddity Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 THat's exactly why I'm surprised. It was designed to be a visual highlight, so why take it out? They did lots of flawless versions, so it's not that they couldn't capture a great performance. I'm sure they have a good reason, but...WHY, COLDPLAY? WHY???

Tash Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 November 9, 2012 - submitted by The Oracle, United Kingdom Q. WHO'D LIKE TO JOIN TEAM ORACLE? Normally this section answers questions of a personal nature, but this week is something different. I thought it'd be fun & interesting to let people have a go at expressing themselves in another way. Next Friday I'll post a selection, alongside my own. ANYONE can join in so, if you'd like to, please read the following question. Poems must be no longer than 150 words. Please email your creations to [email protected] before midnight Thursday 15th November. I was wondering what is your favorite word in relation to Coldplay? Rather, what word or words come to mind when you hear the word "Coldplay"? Could I kindly ask you to write a poem about Coldplay using these words? Or if you chose a single word, how about using it as a title for the poem? I want to see your writing skills.Aaron. USA. Look forward to seeing your efforts. The Oracle The Oracle replies: Please email your poems to [email protected] * PLEASE OBSERVE THE 150 WORD LIMIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tash Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 November 9, 2012 - submitted by Charlie, United Kingdom Q. TEAM ORACLE QUESTION #95 I am not a normal kid (apparently to my friends) I like music they don't. It's not my fault I know how to play the majority of band related instruments. I like music based on rock not pop or the music my friends like. e.g: Justin Bieber. The nearest I get to present day music is Coldplay and Nirvana (even though they are not a band anymore, but the Foo Fighters will do for that). I like music before this new kind of musical era, like Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix and also Jimmy Page (none of my friends know who he is when I mentioned I wanted to be a sessionist). So I am asking how do I get my friends to not call me peculiar? The Oracle replies: You sound cool to me and someone I'd have wanted as a friend at school. When you're young, different can be seen as unusual, freaky, weird and all manner of other words that can be mean. When you're older, different can be individual, brave, exciting and defines who you are. Stay true to yourself and don't mind what people *think* you are. You know who you are and that's what counts. You have great music taste - that's not to say your friends don't but each to their own. There wouldn't be Justin Bieber et al. without Jimmy, Jimi, Dave etc. (even if Justin doesn't know that). Having diverse musical interests can be hard if nobody seems to share that taste but maybe you can focus on the things you do have in common. I think you should be quite blase about it rather than give them room to ridicule. They'll soon get bored if they see you don't care. Everyone is entitled to like what they want so who cares if they can't see the merit of such brilliant music. Though there's nothing (essentially) wrong with pop music, trends will change and in a few years they may be embarrassed about their preferences so in the meantime rest assured that you will almost certainly never have that problem! Over to you. Well if you want you friends to stop calling you peculiar, just tell them that you don't like it. If they're really your friends they will stop calling you peculiar, if they are your friends they will respect your wishes and stop. Remember that you should never change yourself because of what your friends say. Your friends don't shape you and make you unique - you do. Grace. Don't feel left out mate. Most music today is shoddy and I applaud you for actually getting into the nice classic rock era of music. For me, my musical interests revolve around Coldplay, alternative music, and movie scores; not many people around here can say that. So where I live, it is a disadvantage but I've learned to not care about what people say about my tastes. Because of Coldplay, I had the drive to learn piano and I'm self-taught for 4 years and can read sheet music. Because of movie scores, I have a vast database of music I can use for audio/video productions. To me, these genres and music are important to me which is why I'll never get go of them, and you shouldn't either. You do not have to do ANYTHING to change who you are because you are you. If they're being daft by labeling you an oddball and all they listen to is Justin Bieber and that radio crap, well, who's the better person here? Charlie, just keep being you and don't change. Billy N. First of all, you don't have to feel like that. I was in the same situation. Almost all the girls in my classroom like Justin Bieber, but I don't. In fact, I prefer hearing other things like Coldplay, The Killers, Taylor Swift. I don't mind. I have a good relationship with all my friends, but sometimes people don't like to hear other's opinions. The base is to respect each other. At the beginning of the last year I was new in that school and I was "peculiar" because I liked Harry Potter, Coldplay, etc.. And some called me "The strange girl". I ignored them and, quickly, I made friends, and now, I have the best friends of all the world. they´re funny, hilarious. Some of them like the same music as me, but that's not the reason they're my friends. It's because I like their feelings, their thoughts - not because the music they hear or the clothes they wear. It's because they are simply themselves. If they´re your friends, they'll understand you if you decide to tell them your feelings. Always remember that you are original, and that is the difference between you and the people that don't want to understand you. "Your actions demonstrate your feelings, not your clothes". Sofia, Mexico City.[/i] I can relate. Like yourself, I'm into the classics. Today, everything is so mainstream that it sounds the same. I'm glad that there are others out there that know that that isn't the good stuff. I have a huge appreciation for people like yourself that can play a multitude of instruments. Music is a way to express yourself and when you can play more than one instrument, you're like a artist that can paint, draw, sculpt. In other words, you're even better at expressing yourself. Nothing is wrong with that, and nothing is wrong with being peculiar. If everyone on this planet loved Justin Bieber, imagine how much of a drag that would be. As a student in high school, I know there is a pressure to be accepted. But the key is to ignore it, be yourself, and embrace the fact that you're the cool kid that knows all the retro musicians. As for your friends, pray for the pour souls. They need to be musically enlightened. The best of luck. Kelsey, United States. You should be proud of yourself not listening to the crappy music of nowadays! I know it must be difficult not to fit with the people that surround you, but you don't have to fit with people that are just sticking to the status quo. Be yourself! Be unique! Be different! That's what the world needs today more than ever. I'm sure you'll find someone who has the same likes as you, so don't let yourself down, "just be patient and don't worry." Keep enjoying what you enjoy the most and don't listen to the empty opinions of mainstream people. Lalo. Charlie, if I was you, I wouldn't be too alarmed by the fact that you have a different taste of music like your friends have. Good quality will always remain. Just try to imagine that a great band from now. Let's take Coldplay for instance, also since this is their project. Someday in future the majority won't know them anymore, in spite of them being so popular now. It sounds unthinkable, but that's due to the changing world we are in. Can you imagine that there was a time the whole world was talking about Jimi Hendrix. So luckily, some day in the long future, one kid will stand up and excuse himself towards his friends for being a big fan of the Foo Fighters, Coldplay... Best regards, Rames. My best friend and I, know each other for almost ten years and she actually listens to bands like Nirvana and Korn. I personally, prefer Coldplay (for me there is a major difference), but this still hasn't been a problem for us to be each other's family. Right now she lives far away and I don't get to see her very often. So whenever I feel alone, I just listen to her music and this makes it all better. What I mean is, that eventually, your favorite music becomes someone's memory about you. And if someone loves you unconditionally (this is the only indicator of friendship), then the music you prefer to listen to will not be a problem at all. Even more - it will be that thing that makes you special, different and someone to learn from. I adore my friend for who she is, and your friends should do the same. But if you want a practical advice - just give them your iPod and put on a more famous song like Fix You, for instance. I don't know anyone who doesn't like this one. At least you'll show them that there are exceptions and you might actually have something in common. Qna. Congrats for your taste in music! You will find other bands you prefer too. Those you like now - that will remain. That’s the nature of things with a timeless qualitiy, also named classic. Be sure you’re not alone, I know a few kids listening music of the 60s,70s or new music far away from charts. Friends don’t need to have everything in common, that would be boring. Friendships don’t work without tolerating other opinions or interests. Your friends find strange what they don’t know. When they visit you, you could have a mix of your favourite songs and such you still can accept, or a radio station without mainstream. Then they get a chance to hear and tolerate other music as they are used to. They don’t need to like it - just as you can tolerate them listening what they want. (Though Justin Bieber might be a torture for your ears - you will survive!). Furthermore there will be other things you can do or talk about apart from music. Be aware you are - only in this one matter - on another level as your peers, so you should be indulgent and forgiving, but never appear uppish or snotty. Keep on rocking! L.Q. Music is a big deal to me too; from first chair in the band to multi-instrument performer and composer, it's my LIFE. And while I appreciate all musical styles, I still hold that awe for Hendrix's crazy antics, Page's musings, and Osbourne's special voice. You understand what Clapton meant by "I get off on screaming guitars." The thing to understand here is that music is expression, and everyone expresses themselves a little differently. If people listened to what they liked, and not necessarily what was "cool", then more people would move past "I only like pop". So be yourself! And if your friends really got your back, they won't get hung up on actual instruments vs. auto-tune :) Keep on playing, music lasts a lifetime, remember that. Peace, The Lerch, USA I actually had a conversation today with a few friends, similar to what you’re talking about now. I think it’s ridiculous that some people get judged or considered weird because of the music they listen to. Everyone is entitled to like whatever kind of music they want to, so honestly… I don’t think your friends are being fair when they say you’re peculiar – it’s actually kind of mean if you ask me. Just make it clear that you don’t find it funny and that you would appreciate it if they kept their opinions to themselves, at least when it comes to music. And for the record: you are completely normal! Sincerely, Medina. You are unique not peculiar. I am the same way. I listen to a lot of classic rock and modern indie rock that most of my friends haven't heard of. For me personally I like not liking all the new pop music, and I have a couple friends that do like the same music as me so try to find some friends with similar interests as well as your current friends. Also you should be happy you are not like 99% of your school and are unique in your instrument and music choices. A.J. I also am not a normal kid, but I've come to embrace it. Not a day goes by when I don't get told I'm weird, strange, or my favorite, insane, because then I quote Ray Bradbury. My friends love me for being who I am, even if they don't always understand me. I stopped caring what other people thought because I found out that life is so much more fun if you just be yourself (cliche I know). People usually like you for your uniqueness, and if they don't, it doesn't matter. They may not think you're so "peculiar" if you teach them what you know about music. Usually if people don't understand something, they label it with words such as "peculiar" "retarded" and "weird". It's not their fault they lack the knowledge you do, but you can change that. Sometimes it's very difficult to understand others' musical tastes, but I figure that different music speaks to different people, and if it's helping to make the world a better place, so be it. Margaret, US. You have amazing confidence and self-belief, keep it, your peers will catch you up in the end. Tracy. I can relate to your situation. Not only music wise but apparently im a really weird person over all. I think what really helps is to embrace it, as hard as it may be sometimes. Once you do, it'll be easier for other people to embrace it since you're comfortable with yourself, and it will show. It also helps you realize who's really your friend and likes you when you're being yourself. This also goes for music because there are so many different kinds and everyone has their own taste. You haven't done anything wrong by establishing that taste. In fact, its pretty cool that you're different. Sort of like you're glowing. In the dark. Love, Darem. I don't see how having different musical tastes than other people would make you "not normal" according to your friends so what you believe about yourself is what really matters. I can understand how you feel about this. For me, I'm not an avid listener of today's music, in fact I listen to music from the same era as you do (I'm more of a Motown R&B kind of person but I do enjoy some classic rock). It does get kind of hard to relate with your friends but eventually, I found other people with the same musical interests as me. I'm not saying to abandon your friends for other people but be firm and straight to the point that you don't like it when they call you "peculiar". If they don't listen, then they aren't the kind of people you should enjoy and spend a portion of your time and life with. Also, try to find some middle ground if you want to strengthen your relationship with them. Take a day off to introduce them to your music and in turn you can listen to their favorite music. Chances are, all of you have heard the songs before. Lastly, music shouldn't be discriminated based from genre or artist. The meanings reflect the time and condition of the person/community/world. If it's great concern, you should notify them. Liku, America. You are not weird in any way, so don't let your friends put that nonsense in your head! I myself love Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Soundgarden, and Metallica. I also love modern music like Rihanna and Justin Bieber. Everyone has different tastes in music, and there are those who like to stay within the feel-good sensibility of pop. Since you actually play instruments, your musical palette is expanded because you can appreciate the skill and musicianship behind the music. This is why I love "older" music as well. Your friends think you are peculiar because they don't understand. So when they come asking, show them a Hendrix song that will rock their socks off! Best of luck! Blake. I think you should be really proud of yourself - it takes courage to form, & be true to, your own tastes & opinions when you are young & still in school! I love that you are different(although feeling & being different may feel lonely at times). Try not to worry about being so different to your friends. It sounds to me as though you are/will be a 'musician's musician' so, keep loving, discovering, unwrapping & exploring music! (& follow & work towards your dreams!) Perhaps you could read the biographies & autobiographies of great musicians, songwriters etc - a lot of them felt different & out of place so you will find kindred spirits throughout history, time & greatness. One day your friends taste in music might change & match yours. One day you will meet others who love the same music as you, so take courage & pride in your uniqueness & talent 'cause the world will probably be seeing & hearing of YOU one day! Love, Cali. The above answers pretty much sum it up; we are all here due to our shared love of Coldplay but the other music listed that we listen to is pretty wide ranging. Thanks to all those who replied to this week’s question. Next week is something more unusual. Team Oracle is open to anyone so if you fancy getting involved, click to read this week's question with a difference, and send us your answer.

Tash Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 November 12, 2012 - submitted by Violet, United States of America Q. Hello Oracle! I was just wondering, so as you know Coldplay is doing some concerts in the U.S again with Jay Z. I was just curious is the concert Coldplay's or is it Jay Z's? I like both of them equally but I am curious to know! Hope you reply! (: The Oracle replies: It's a co-headline show. Though not unusual, it is a somewhat peculiar concept given 2 acts can't perform their sets at the same time. What it means is that both are sharing the top billing. It's not yet been revealed who will go on first/last. I wouldn't be surprised if - like last time - there were a few shared moments and surprises lined up for the evening. It is New Year's Eve after all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tash Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 November 12, 2012 - submitted by Fraser, United Kingdom Q. On your first introduction to Oracle, you mentioned that you were good at soups. What would be your choice of soup to impress a lady coming round to your place for a first dinner date? I need something quick yet tasty. I'm thinking carrot and corriander? Any ideas? The Oracle replies: Ooh Frase, I'm not so sure about carrot & coriander dude. It's great but a pretty safe bet. I think you could show off a little more. How about a cheeky borscht (without vodka if you're under the age to legally drink booze)? It's easy but looks pretty impressive*. You can crumble feta cheese on top. I like a nice Thai chicken or fish soup too. Also high on my list is red pepper, tomato & chilli and French onion soup is always a winner. Make sure you check before a first date whether your guest is vegetarian or has any food allergies. *This maybe too much information but you'll thank me for it. If you opt for anything with beetroot, DO NOT be alarmed if you notice that when you go to the loo, the colour of "stuff" is red. That's the food's effect so don't panic.

Tash Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 November 12, 2012 - submitted by Dorothea , Austria Q. Hello there, dear Oracle! As the day of the Coldplay Live evening in theatres gets closer and closer... I am wondering what is in your opinion the best seat? Close to the screen - as in live experience "being closest to the band" OR a little bit more in the back area for having a good overview? :) I already made a ticketreservation but now I am not sure if they are too close to the screen and i will change it... Not an easy decision... maybe this sounds weird.. but it is! Thank you very much for your help! Have a nice one! Greets from Austria, Dorothea The Oracle replies: Are we all excited? Yay! It's not a daft question because as you say, there are options and you'd think it may be the same choice you'd make for a live show. Not the case for me. At a gig I want to be right at the front. At the cinema I like to be further back. Usually I'm a halfway back, aisle seat kind of watcher but for Live 2012, I was back row all the way!

I wanna ask you this. in the cinemas, is it going to be shown the gig in Paris, the documentary or both? The Oracle replies: It's so weird to think that because of time differences on this vast planet of ours, people will have just come out of the cinema having already watched it! Wow. Anyway, to answer your question - there is no documentary. It's not like Live 2003 where there are two very separate parts. This film is a live concert with the occasional glimpse into the backstage world narrated by each band member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the boys don't like to see themselves performing but do you know if they already saw LIVE 2012 ? And what did they think about it ? Thanks xx from France . The Oracle replies: Hi Safa, well it's completely different when it comes to releasing a film. They would certainly have to watch themselves as it's important, nay, imperative that they are happy with what is going to be out there. If they weren't happy with the finished article, they wouldn't release it so therefore yes, they have seen it and are happy with it. Hope you are too!

Tash Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 November 14, 2012 - submitted by Sophie, New Zealand Q. Hi Oracle, I was sitting in the West Stand at the show in Auckland, and after it finished a man turned around and chatted to me about what I thought of the show. He was an older man with white hair and a posh English accent. He was wearing a red VIP badge and he looked strangely familiar. My question is... did I meet Chris Martin's dad?? The Oracle replies: Well, I wouldn't have thought that he'd still be sitting there at the end unless the band weren't doing a runner that night. Anyway, in one of Roadie #42's recent blogs there's a photo of his Dad playing cricket at the venue earlier in the day, so maybe you will be able to see from that if it was indeed Mr. Martin.

Tash Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 November 15, 2012 - submitted by Haya, United Arab Emirates Q. Dear Oracle, Tomorrow is my sister's birthday and I just don't know what to get her! She's turning 17 and I really want to do something special for her. She's loves Coldplay as much as I do, so I was thinking pre-ordering the 2012 Live DVD for her would be perfect. But my other sister went ahead and took her to the movie on Nov. 13th as an early birthday gift. And so I really don't know what to do. I want to get her something special and I'm out of ideas! Help me please! The Oracle replies: If your sis enjoyed the film, I'd still consider getting her the DVD so she can watch it again over and over. We have a shop on this site so maybe some merch - a poster perhaps. Or if your sister has Coldplay albums but not singles, you could buy her the b side tracks maybe? If you're worried about the budget, I like the idea of homemade gifts: framed photos/ paintings, MX symbol inspired jewellry - get creative!

The concert on Saturday in Auckland was absolutely incredible! it was by far the best concert and best night of my life!! We camped out from 7am to get front row which we did! There was amazing video footage throughout the night, I am wondering how we could get this? There were alot of times that we came up on the screens and I would like to see it again!! Many thanks and cant wait for them to come back down under!! The Oracle replies: You can't actually get a copy because it wasn't recorded footage. It's live transmissions if you'll pardon the pun. That live video feed is for the show only and not available beyond that. When I watched Live 2012 I did think how amazing it must be for the fans to be immortalised on film forever but that's obviously not going to be possible for every single show. It's still pretty cool to be on the screens at a gig I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
