March 26, 201016 yr Aaahhhhhhh, yes I see now, you have very discerning eyes. :laugh3: You don't know the half of it... ;) Jason
March 26, 201016 yr Chris smashes his guitars on the ground very regularly, I think Jonny has always been more careful with his instruments. :P And indeed, the painted one Chris is using is a telecaster deluxe instead of a thinline.
March 26, 201016 yr He uses it back stage to warm up on the Viva tour and it's his back up on stage if needed. My guitar gets to see Coldplay naked in the dressing room every night. :smug: :laugh3: Jonny actually once used it for strawberry swing live on stage! And there is footage: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMLUyUfcij8]YouTube- Coldplay - Strawberry Swing - Live In Melbourne (HD)[/ame] At first he is using the viva-guitar but at 1:30 he switches guitars.

April 1, 201016 yr Finally got a response from Gemma today. Hi Angie, All the kit from the Viva La Vida tour is currently with sea freight which is incredible slow so the band estimate it won’t reach me for another 3 weeks. Apologies for the further delay. Kindest regards, Gemma :(
April 1, 201016 yr Is that how they transported the items TO Latin America? I thought all that stuff would have been taken by air, not swallowed by the sea (or floating across the ocean, in this case) ... :thinking: yeah, I know, I'm cheesy
April 1, 201016 yr Yeah, hopefully they won't run into any pirates. Er, or icebergs or anything... Jason
April 1, 201016 yr Hmmm, this just popped into my head... I don't suppose the whole "sea freight" thing could be an April Fool's joke?
April 1, 201016 yr Hmmm, this just popped into my head... I don't suppose the whole "sea freight" thing could be an April Fool's joke? It was in response to an e-mail I sent on March 22nd... so I seriously doubt it. :) Jason
April 1, 201016 yr Yeah, hopefully they won't run into any pirates. Er, or icebergs or anything... Jason All land lubbers best be stayin away from our geetars or chris monkey be clawin their eyes out! arrrrrrrrrrr!
April 1, 201016 yr I just choked on my water, Angie that is frickin hilarious! I see you have Chris as the sidekick monkey, that's good. :D
April 1, 201016 yr Carrie, great photoshop skills you have going on!! You know if you're bored, you would work on one of me wearing my jacket... :laugh3:[/color][/size][/font] * logs onto facebook to snag photo for request * j/k
April 1, 201016 yr :laugh3: I feel like Leonardo DiCaprio should be in that photo somewhere too, warning of icebergs! Jason

April 1, 201016 yr Jason, Sorry for the delayed response -- I've been very busy and extremely sick these past few -- the former prohibiting me from finding time to do something about the latter situation. I felt so awful that eating dirty, broken glass sounded more appealing than reading the internet off my little, tiny iphone -- so I took a break. (At least the glass might do something about the sore throat.) YES! One of these gorgeous ladies featured in these fantastic pictures is my lovely guitar while the other is Bone Daddy's of Texas (lot 32, the "Message" Gibson). :kiss: While Bone Daddy's was dispatched in the earlier group of items, mine went sightseeing with your Viva Guitar & Angie's Fender for the Latin American tour. It was strangely gratifying to see it up close and personal -- or as close as the crowds would allow me to get -- knowing that it was mine. :wink3: Despite my best efforts, I couldn't manage to get an amazing picture like the one you posted, so thanks for posting! :D Hope you feel better soon. Lot's of nasty flu and viruses going around to be sure... Also, I forgot to mention something else I noticed in the Tokyo show from the MTV World Stage broadcast... Looks like Jonny is using one of those guitars at the beginning of 'The Scientist' as well... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGC9VklBaag]YouTube- Coldplay - The Scientist [WS][HD][/ame] Then a bit after halfway through, he switches to the "starburst" electric guitar... Jason
April 1, 201016 yr Carrie, great photoshop skills you have going on!! You know if you're bored, you would work on one of me wearing my jacket... :laugh3:[/color][/size][/font] As requested... hopefully this will get you through the next few weeks. :sneaky:

Hi Angie, All the kit from the Viva La Vida tour is currently with sea freight which is incredible slow so the band estimate it won’t reach me for another 3 weeks. Apologies for the further delay. Kindest regards, Gemma Angie & Jason: Did you write to Gemma, or did she email you unsolicited? Just curious because I haven't received anything from her to date regarding my items. I emailed and sent a message through Ebay. :uhoh:
April 1, 201016 yr Angie & Jason: Did you write to Gemma, or did she email you unsolicited? Just curious because I haven't received anything from her to date regarding my items. Mine was in response to an e-mail I had sent her a while ago... Jason
April 2, 201016 yr ^ :lol: Actually no, I don't have Photoshop, I just used Microsoft Paint. Hence the utter awesomeness of (or lack thereof) my skills. :tongue: So, that also means there isn't a globe gif in the works. Yet.
April 8, 201016 yr New Email from Gemma today: Huge apologies for the delay in the shipment of your Coldplay Lot. The band have now returned to the UK from their Viva La Vida tour of South America but unfortunately all their kit is currently sea freight and is now not scheduled to arrive in London for another two weeks. I will of course inform you as soon as I receive the Lots and then follow up with an email informing you of the DHL tracking number and expected delivery date. :\ My guess is mid May will be soonest we get stuff.
