julissofine Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 well, the guys are all about my age...only 2-3yrs older. so i don't think i can really say i grew up listening to them. i dunno...just seems weird to me if i were to declare that. tho for some reason i all along kept thinking that the guys are much older. & it turns out they're like same generation as me! i think it had something to do with reading an interview where Chris Martin says he grew up listening to Oasis! after the "me too!" reaction, it then hit me...by now, 2009, Oasis has been around for ages! i.e. i'm getting old... :thinking: Hahaha.. Same with me, kimgan! I grew up listening to Blur, Radiohead, and Oasis. I was already a grown up when I listened to Coldplay. :nice: Yeah, I feel old too. :D At some times, I thought to myself that I'm too old for all this. I mean lots, or probably most, of the people here are still talking about school/uni, homeworks, and exams. While I haven't been around those things for years. :laugh3: But this is my life. I wanna have fun, and this is fun and keeps me feel young like a teenager. :smug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fika Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 it's nice to hear everyone's story! and you too min, thanks for sharing. when i read the first part, i was like "heeeyyy thats soo cool", that's exactly the reason i won't buy music online, going to the record store is so much fun :) I can't listen to the Scientist as it is.. without being mentally prepared i'm just going to burst. well, the guys are all about my age...only 2-3yrs older. so i don't think i can really say i grew up listening to them. i dunno...just seems weird to me if i were to declare that. tho for some reason i all along kept thinking that the guys are much older. & it turns out they're like same generation as me! i think it had something to do with reading an interview where Chris Martin says he grew up listening to Oasis! after the "me too!" reaction, it then hit me...by now, 2009, Oasis has been around for ages! i.e. i'm getting old... :thinking: any of you guys going to oasis then? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zempt Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I'm going but definitely won't be as fun as Coldplay. Don't really have a good impression of Liam Gallagher, going solely just for the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
but a dream Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Oh...Min... I just read your story. It was so sad. I'm very sorry. :cry: He must be meant a lot for you. I hope being here sharing your passion on Coldplay with us would cheer you up. :hug: ^ yeah.. I second what Juls said! :hug: ooh...that's hardly a squeamish story, Min! quite a tearjerker! but it's great that Coldplay's music helps get you through thick & thin, as you've put it. :) and you too min, thanks for sharing. when i read the first part, i was like "heeeyyy thats soo cool", that's exactly the reason i won't buy music online, going to the record store is so much fun :) I can't listen to the Scientist as it is.. without being mentally prepared i'm just going to burst. Thanks guys :hug::hug::hug: any of you guys going to oasis then? :D I might :thinking: The thing is, I was supposed to fly to Australia over the weekend to attend V Fest and watch the Killers, Elbow et al. But now I don't think I can go anymore :bigcry: The next best thing would be watching Oasis :P haha...yeah. sometimes i think i'm still stuck in teenager mode & don't wanna grow up (mentally) just quite yet. :lol: My parents definitely think I'm still 3 years old :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarMonkey Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 i wanted to go for Oasis and/or Kaiser Chiefs too. but i'm kinda tapped out for the month. so i need to sit those out for now. i'll have more chances in the future once i'm in the UK...hopefully. if i don't get swamped in assignments. *shiver* & we can be 30, but our parents will STILL think you're only 3 & need babying around still. esp if you're a girl. which annoys the crap out of me. :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
but a dream Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I know what you mean :dozey: Mine don't really annoy me, they just like to criticise me a lot...

For big things like my job as well as small things like my weight and other shite :thinking: haha just earlier tonight i felt like such a disappointment cos i didn't do the jc uni path but instead went to poly to do what i want. still feel as if the parents hold a grudge or something. bah. and its been so many years -_- but anyway so many posts! rachel yamagata somewhat of a jazzy bluesy singer from chicago. i realise i listen to very different things from everyone here! like psapp, deathcab for cutie, kasabian, radio dept, album leaf... however the bands i would really love to come are keane and u2. min! hugssssss. its very touching and i totally understand. maybe he's watching over you, that's why you're having a lot of luck with coldplay (: skivinggg. have been akf at work these 2 days that's why no chance to skive even! alamak.

Aye but I've got no cash now can't go also. I hope they stop by though. I'll definitely be going if they do. Haha. Yah! Exactly.

I wish I could watch all my favourite bands, too bad most of them tend to skip Asia altogether (or maybe just perform in Japan :thinking:). I know, Ben sings really well.

Fika Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 The Straits Times Friday, April 3 2009 Liam Vs Noel Interview "...He still has mean words for other British bands such as Kaiser Cheifs, who are playing here at Fort Canning Park just two days after Oasis' show. In an interview on BBC Radio last year, he dismissed the band: "I did drugs for 18 years and I never got that bad as to say, 'You know what? I think the Kaiser Chiefs are brilliant'." But he has high praise for fellow Brit rocker who sold out the Indoor Stadium two weeks ago - Coldplay. "I like Coldplay. (Frontman) Chris Martin is a close, personal friend of mine, a lovely guy. They're all nice lads." :smug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
