i apologize in advance if there is already a forum for this someplace else! *^_^*

 

...first there was the “boy-band-on-the-make-good-and-besides-it’s-all-we’ve-got-jeans-t-shirt-trainers” look (or actually, in chris’ case --all-terrain hiking boots?),

 

 

...then there was the 80’s retro-future, “if-we-all-wear-black-uniform-like-costumes-maybe-security-will-quit-carding-jonny-when-he-isn’t-wearing-his-backstage-pass” look,

 

 

...now there has been the “it’s-like-we-are-wearing-uniforms-anyway-so-lets-make-’em-really-look-that-way” look...

 

 

so what’s next? personally, i’m thinkin’ naked. it would be a bold move, but i think the fans would be okay with it. ;) uhhhmmm... on second thought, things are kinda crazy as it is at the concerts!

 

a look i liked them in a lot, was when they dressed up as the early 20th century gents that one christmas? maybe they could find inspiration for new costumes there... there is something to be said for the “rock me amadeus” 18th century look too, but somehow i think will would draw the line at voluminous lacy sleeves (might get in the way of drumming)... oh! astronauts! cowboys! cavemen! zombies! fav anime characters! --although one has to be careful, here... it could be a slippery slope toward the “village people” look, and while i love “the village people,” that look has definitely been done... ^_^/

um, astronauts sounds good.

plus it matches that april fools' joke.

haha naked :lol:

 

what about neon unitards? :dozey:

cool thread, but I think it would take off much more in the 'coldplay' section. But while I'm here, I'm expecting something thematic but much more subdued than the military outfits. Like regular t-shirt and pants but with various pictures and/or patches on it. So much depends on what the next album is about and sounds like, so I doubt we'll expect whats coming.

What if they go emo??!!!!!!!!!! LIke grow their hair a little longer.. cut it to one side, dye it BLACK and wear more eyeliner than 3 girls all together... then they were like skin tight jeans and those black t-shirts with skulls on them... They paint their nails black and become cutters... :stunned: how bout that for a change...???

:dance: :dance: hey mr. coldplay spacemen, won't you please take us all along, we won't do anything wrong! hey coldplay spacemen, won't ya please take us fans along, for a ride! :dance: :dance:

haha naked :lol:

 

what about neon unitards? :dozey:

 

oh, no, no, please don't give chris such ideas! the band will be glam rockin' all aladdin sane stylin' in no time!

 

ps: :D "f'n pterodactyls" :sunny: excellent sig pic!

They'll all dress like over-affectionate soft-rockers whose voices crack and who sing girly songs about their feelings and wish they were French Revolutionaries.

 

 

 

Oh, wait...

whose voice cracks besides chris'?

:flutterby: hi! yes, of course, we won't know until we know... i'm just being impatient. it is fun to imagine different possibilities --the t-shirts and pants would be much more comfy and practical than the uniforms (which i think must be hellish warm to wear on stage). thanks! :flutterby:

They all do. Haven't you heard Jonny Will and Guy cracking jokes before? :rolleyes:

cute :dozey:

:D ha! i can actually totally see that! what if we take all that and then add cowboy hats and boots... :cowboy: + :bandana: + :beatnik: --no, too bono :dance: nothing against bono mind you! but on the quest for something potentially original, or at least versatile. :sunny:

Chris singing country...all plaid shirts and wrangler jeans... square dancing...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!! NO.

:D definitely kind of impossible to imagine, but then again...

 

 

...they did play austin city limits! :dance: "just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me... ready? oh love is a burnin' thing, and it makes, a fiery ring... that's for johnny cash!"

Johnny Cash is hardly square-dancing.

oh, no, no, please don't give chris such ideas! the band will be glam rockin' all aladdin sane stylin' in no time!

haha thanks :D

Johnny Cash is hardly square-dancing.

 

especially when he is covering nine inch nails! cash singing "hurt" is brilliant. "...full of broken thoughts, i cannot repair...what have i become my sweetest friend? everyone i know goes away in the end, and you can have it all, my empire of dirt, i will let you down, i will make you hurt, but if i could start again a million miles away, i would keep myself, i would find a way..."

You're pretty random aren't ya?

You're pretty random aren't ya?

 

:dance: understatement. of. the. century. :dance:

 

update: * he said i'm pretty!!! *

Glad you're aware of it

Glad you're aware of it

 

the random part? oh yeah. we can't all be focused, pedantic, miserable geniuses with delusions of wittiness. the pretty part? that's entirely new; and an observation paid sight unseen... ;) don't panic, i know you didn't mean any of "this" interaction as a compliment. why don't you just trundle along now and worry somebody else's new thread... oh, wait, i'm giving you attention, aren't i? my baaaaddd...^_^/

*slowly backs away*

I propose the need for a new "Walkryfe-Noonsun-TechnicolourGreenEyes" thread.:dozey:

 

my GOD you three were meant for each other.:rolleyes::laugh3:

*slowly backs away*

 

:thinking2:

 

i have zero context for the xxkels comment that appeared as you were backing away. i can only assume it was meant to impress you, rather than be at all meaningful for me. :dance:

 

anyone reading in on this that may need a reminder: this is supposed to be about possible directions the next round of coldplay concert-wear will take.

 

whatever else, i recommend coldplay use flame-proof attire; i know i'm about to go seek some for myself... :hug:
