Lore Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Part 2: I won't quote the full post because it's a big one, but thanks a lot for the big review, I absolutely loved it :D Enjoy it!!!!! thanks a lot :bomb: they're all great photies! as promised, here are mine in rar file, of the queue, of Coldplay and of the Killers. Again apologies for all the blurry or mega blurry ones but there are some great ones too. It might take a while to download, its 160mb :P http://www.sendspace.com/file/vc05d0 Thanks Ian... this is awesome :D Group pic!! *click* awww you all look so nice, I really hope to meet you all someday :nice: I just read the last 10 pages and i'm jealous beyond words :disappointed: But i'm glad you guys had soooo much fun! :D same here, I'm jealous but extremely happy for them at the same time :) But for the time being, I leave you with this - a group picture of our little coldplaying.com 'meet up' :) Feel free to add the names ;) another lovely pic :blush: Part 3: Next up came one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I still can't believe it happened. My two favourite bands on the whole planet semi-collaborated! Unfortunately in the process, I reverted to the teenager I never was, and screamed in a way I never have before. The most I ever screamed before was when Sale Sharks won the Guinness Premiership Final a few years back. I don't do screaming fan girl, and until that final hadn't thought I was actually capable of really screaming. This morning, I surpassed that, and apologies to Anna who was in the unfortunate position of being right next to me! Just to clarify why I was screaming, on the verge of tears, and going weak at the knees. I am a huge Take That fan as well as a Coldplay fan. One of the most amazing experiences of my life was when this happened (and I did behave like a sensible human being then, so why last night was different I don't know): . another awesome part of the review... I'm so happy that you could met him... and the pic is lovely!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenjie Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 probably Jen would love that too :nice:! I don't think I could cope!! :laugh3: I still think my dream world has invaded reality as it is. When Chris mentioned in some interview a while back that he'd like to play with Take That, I never envisioned it actually happening. Plus, channelling a 14 year old is very exhausting!!! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenjie Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Revenge is dish best served Coldplay... War Child: The Killers, Coldplay 4/5 stars John Aizlewood's rating As days go, yesterday wasn’t an especially good one for Coldplay. Still bedraggled after flying in from Japan, Britain’s most popular band and the British music industry’s most popular export spent the evening being humiliated at the Brits, an unfathomable snub which almost single-handedly illustrates why the music business is in steep decline. Wounded, Coldplay hot-footed it to the newly christened O2 Shepherds Bush Empire and at 40 minutes into today, they took the stage and things finally began to look better. The event was a benefit to celebrate the War Child charity’s 15th birthday and nominally a co-headline with The Killers, who hurtled through their hits, asked us whether we were “human or dancer” (er, a bit of both, I suppose, all things considered) on Human and proved once more that however peculiar their little singer Brandon Flowers is, they remain a formidable live proposition. Yet, Brits idiocy notwithstanding, Coldplay remain the people’s choice and even the late start failed to stop more than 200,000 people applying for the opportunity to purchase the 2,000 £50 tickets. Indeed, such was the demand that while U2’s The Edge managed to wangle himself entry, he couldn’t get a seat. Coldplay specialise in making giant venues seem small. In a more intimate setting, buoyed rather than burdened by expectation, they were magnificent, whether it was Chris Martin singing much of In My Place sitting on the corner of the stage like a broken schoolboy; the thumping Viva La Vida (were there a Best Use Of Timpani Brit last night, they’d have been celebrating today) which Pet Shop Boy Neil Tennant gleefully conducted from the audience; Yellow, stopped by Martin to announce the presence of X-Factor judge Louis Walsh or 42, as it exploded from a piano ballad into near rock opera. Like no other band, they can simultaneously comfort and thrill. “This,” promised Martin, not one to knowingly undersell himself or his band, “is going to be the best encore you’ve ever seen.” It wasn’t, but it was special. Gary Barlow, looking every inch the Cheshire cat as he basked in credibility, emerged to sing Take That’s Back For Good with Martin on wailing backing vocals and, finally, to send us off into the early morning with a spring in our step, Barlow, Bono and The Killers joined the headliners on a ramshackle but heartfelt assault on Flowers’s All These Things That I’ve Done. Who needs a Brit anyway? http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/music/gig-23402528-details/War+Child%3A+The+Killers%2C+Coldplay/gigReview.do?reviewId=23646726 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonsu Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 ^ Great review! But I know so little about The Killers, why does everything i've read go on so much about the singer and not the band?

Jenjie Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Coldplay and Bono team up with Take That for charity gig By Mike Collett-White LONDON (Reuters) - It's not often that Coldplay, one of the world's biggest bands, agrees to play backing vocals to a one-time boy band heartthrob like Gary Barlow of Take That. But that is exactly what happened in the early hours of Thursday when the rockers performed on stage with Barlow, and later with U2's lead singer Bono and U.S. band The Killers at a charity show following the BRIT pop awards. The event was in support of the War Child charity, which aims to protect children living in the world's most dangerous war zones. It has just released a compilation album "Heroes." Coldplay put behind it the disappointment of the BRITs, where it was nominated for four awards but won nothing, to play to 2,000 people at the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire. "The band to see at the moment is Take That," said Coldplay's Chris Martin. Take That were one of Britain's most successful groups in the 1990s and have topped the charts again since reforming. "We've just come back from Japan and lost all the BRITs. It's been a s--- day, quite frankly," he joked at the end of a set where the band played a string of hits including "Yellow." Barlow entered stage left and performed Take That classic "Back For Good," with Coldplay providing the music and Martin the backing vocals, much to the crowd's delight. The finale of the concert was a rendition of The Killers' "All These Things That I've Done" sung by the band itself, Coldplay, Barlow and Bono, lead singer of Irish rockers U2. The concert, which started late on Wednesday, was the highlight of the night for many fans and journalists who had been at the BRIT awards earlier. Welsh singer Duffy won three awards including the coveted best British album accolade. War Child has billed Heroes, its fifth record, as "the ultimate covers album." Fifteen young acts were selected by established names in rock and roll to perform one of their own songs. They include Duffy performing former Beatle Paul McCartney's "Live and Let Die," TV On The Radio covering David Bowie's "Heroes," Estelle singing Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" and Elbow with U2's "Running to Stand Still." "War Child's work is vital and being able to have a moment with Brandon (Flowers of The Killers) and Chris (Martin) tonight is a salute to an awesome night for them," Bono said. "U2 love Elbow's new version of 'Running To Stand Still'," he added in a statement. Record major EMI made a "substantial," undisclosed payment to War Child and has released the album on its Parlophone label. Parlophone donates UK profits to the international charity. War Child's first album was "Help!" in 1995. The charity said the concept of rock legends selecting tracks for younger artists to perform reflected its own work in investing in the next generation.
