Hey all,

 

 

My intention when starting this thread was to let people know about these demos, and to share a little taster to y'all.

 

But as soon as I did it, I kind of regretted it. After all, these are very private recordings, and I'm sure Chris would feel a bit annoyed about it. And I've got a huge responsibilty here as well...having these demos in my hands. Some of it is not very well performed either, Chris just laying down ideas thinking no-one would ever hear it. So I gave you the good (and one of them being GREAT) ones, the ones that wouldn't make Chris look bad;)

 

But the rest of them are better off not being all over the Internet, I think. Out of respect.

 

And the reason I put the price so high is only for one reason. If someone would offer me that money of course I couldn't say no. Even if I didn't want to spread them, that amount of money would be hard to resist and say no to, as I need extra money right now. So setting the price high would at least make the decision easier and make it less likely that anyone would want them.

 

Anyway, hope that helped and you've enjoyed the three tracks I did post.

 

Peace,

R

YES!

 

"He's more of a Geography teacher, look at his jacket!"

"... What about your jacket? It's got Spain on it. That's part of Georaphy, isn't it?"

 

Hahahah. Guy is so hilarious - I wish he were like that in interviews. :P

 

And if he's not kidding... geez. Would anyone here really be willing to pay that much? @_@

 

hah what i love is that the truth is they all look like geography teachers in my opinion :P and i love geography :wink3:

...like dead serious though :stunned:

i know where almost EVERY country is in the world :smug:

im kind of a history buff :wacky:

 

Lets start a fundraiser and get the unreleased tracks into REAL coldplay fans hands!!!

 

woo lets call it a really long obnoxious name,

so that by the time someone reads it they allready have their wallet out saying

"where do it pay..." :dozey:

 

:lol:!

 

If rob is going to give the money to charity like oxfam, I would consider to buy those tracks. But since it's for his own sake, I'm not even paying a penny:cool:

 

:cool: definitely a good decision i wonder if we'll ever see them

but yeah i would have donated it to oxfam :dozey:

like comeon thats what coldplays about!

butterflies, viva, military style clothing, chris's amazing hair, guys skinny jeans, will s drums, and jonny's hat and oxfam

Can't we ask the oracle to leak the remaining tracks???

 

Well, the Oracle KNOWS everything... but whether she HAS everything is highly questionable. :inquisitive:

Just kidding. My respect for you has just risen like 500%. I fail so hard at Geography/History. Dx

 

Ooh! Don't forget Will's love of the colour purple! :P

oh... well now that you put it that way i guess... :\

i wonder if the oracle knows anything about whats been going on the past few days?

:thinking:...:stunned:

she probably does :uhoh:

What if she's watching us right now?!

 

... Hi, Mrs. all-knowing Oracle. How was your weekend? :uhoh:

 

*stashes the demos and runs*

 

@Rob: I feel better now that you've explained your reasoning. Although, I'd like to point out that absolutely nothing would make Chris appear 'bad' in our eyes. However, the responsibility of the demos are in your hands, and I respect your decision... even if I am a little bummed. :(

Phil might know :uhoh: because he comes on here...

Yea I am also a little bummed with the fact that we may never hear the rest of these demos when we know they are out there...

Well, I guess its all over. The other 6 songs cant be that good then. Rob gave us the best 3. Thanks Rob for those 3!! We enjoyed and still are Enjoying them. Thank you Rob!! And the way you put it makes sence. But I also agree that NOTHING can make Chris look bad in our Eyes. Thank You.

you never cared before you knew though.

you would have been satisfied if you thought those were the only three songs

^ True.

 

Rob, your fatal flaw was telling us that there are, in fact, other songs! Now we all pine for what we can't have. :P

I hope nobody asks her :uhoh:

 

mee tooo :cry:

 

:uhoh:

*helps her pick up some demos and run*

yeah i know chris is amazing in our eyes... if you could already see that

Chris=:angel:

:P

 

Phil might know :uhoh: because he comes on here...

 

Phil comes on here :wink3:

hey phil :smug:

 

Yea I am also a little bummed with the fact that we may never hear the rest of these demos when we know they are out there...

 

 

i know... :shame:

it sucks but its life and the way im started to look at is it that...

if and when chris and the boys think some of those songs are ready for us.

we'll hear it in its prime :wacky:

Rob, I read what you said and I think your intentions were to leak a couple songs here with the intentions of selling these to the highest bidder, thats my opinion. If you had some sort of respect for Chris and his voice on these tracks, you would have kept them to yourself, but you knew when you got your hands on these they were gonna be worth money, so why not sample it here and get an idea of a price you want for them. I can't help but think of some record floozy or clean=up person poking their heads around the studio and stumbbling upon these demos and tucking them under their shirt, yeah yeah, bring on the bashing of me and my opinion, but if you get this money I hope you at least give it to charity, because what you have in your hands is priceless. JUST MY OPINION AND MINE ALONE.

i agreee 150%

I totally agree.

 

 

Thanks! People have to remember The Coldplay Camp didn't leak these, they were swiped and if Chris and the boy's are ok with this, then so be it, but this person shouldn't be making money off of it.

I agree 200%. No one but Coldplay should be making money off this.

I hope the person who buys them is PHIL.
