A bit about me 1st of all. Massive Coldplay fan. Only seen them Live 3 times, twice in 2005 at Bolton and Newcastle and more recently in Sheffield December 08.

 

Love the band, the music and especially the live act. Already have my tickets booked for Wembley 2009 for me and my eldest daughter who is also a masive fan.

 

I go to loads of gigs, maybe 25 or so this year. I have to say my top 3 gigs this year are The Hives who we watched at rock city, Nottingham, Coldplay and KOL both at Sheffield arena. All three on a par for me.

 

My favourite performer though is Prince. Since 87 I have watched prince live in the region of 40 times. I took in 5 gigs at the O2 in London 2007 during his 21 night residency there. 3 main shows and 2 aftershows as well..

 

My question is this.. Every time Coldplay are mentioned over at Housequake (prince forum similar to Coldplaying) it turns into a mass rant about how crap Coldplay are. I always fight the corner but there are very few Prince fans over at Housequake who like or even tolerate Coldplay so I was interested to know how well Prince would go down at the Coldplay forum..

 

I'm looking forward to the responses and am very interested how this thread will go down..

 

Best wishes to all of you..

 

Mark:cool:

By the way, i posted some videos on youtube of the Sheffield gig. Just search spindles72 to view them all and other artists like KOL etc..

HELLO MARK!! :wink2:

 

Welcome to the board! :cool:

Welcome Mark. Have a nice time in our beautiful wolrd of Coldplay!!

Hi.

Welcome! :)

3 times eh? Being in britain certainly must have it's advantages. I've been a fan since 2000 and have only been able to see them once. :(

Well heck, I used to listen to Prince all the time when I was 18!! Prince has some of the most beautiful, interesting music ever performed in his repertoire, and I would have to say there is a resemblance of musical styles between the two bands/artists. I think that your interest in both is great!! Perhaps the love of experimental, interesting styles of music is where you're at?

Anyhow, welcome to the board, Mark!!:sunny::artist:

I'm not much of a Prince fan but that's no reason for me to bash him

 

 

Welcome to the forum that you will soon realize is the greatest in the world.;)

Welcome Mark :)

Hi Mark!

 

See you at Wembley :cool:

Hi Mark.

It's great to see another Coldplay fan here.

I don't like Prince, but I wouldn't criticise anyone who do like him.

I've never been a big Prince fan, but liked some of his early stuff and respect him as a talented musician and performer.;)

He did go off the rails for a while when he started calling himself as his "symbol", though.........................

:dozey:

Hi there :)

hey there Mark!!! Welcome on board!:)

Not a huge fan of Prince, but as I got older I learned to appreciate how talented he is. I know of a few Prince fans on this board.

Well I like the advert for the non-butter buttter...

Pardon my ignorance - non-butter butter ad??:rolleyes:

 

Pardon my ignorance - non-butter butter ad??:rolleyes:

 

 

Yup! It's spreading like wildfire!!:rolleyes:

Thanks for making me feel welcome everyone....

 

Prince just aired 5 new tracks on the internet last night.. Amazing new tracks.. Loving it..

 

Counting down to Wembley 2009..

Cool!:cool: Where can we go to have a look ourselves??

Pardon my ignorance - non-butter butter ad??:rolleyes:

 

 

There's this guy in England who does an absolutely amazing impression of Ozzy Osborne. Seriously, you can't tell them apart... so they made an advert together for this spread that's not butter but tastes like butter

Oh no, not Ozzy Osborne! :lol: I can just imagine - as long as it's done with right mood-lighting, I suppose I could see that..

But Butter is Butter! My neighbors cows might walk off the line if this sort of thing gets going!

Ok, I don't know how to post youtube clips on here, but I think this is the link to the ad:

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YK8KPVcJaUA]YouTube - Ozzy Osbourne - I can´t believe it´s not butter ad[/ame]

Oh, wow, I put the link in a post and then it just appeared.

 

How brill is that???

 

Coldplaying, how I love you!!!
