December 22, 200916 yr OK i must say what i feel. even thought 99% of my threads are a fail! I do not like this end of decade clear out sale! no no no! Chris is selling his first guitar he's halking something that brought him international fame! hes career his money his wife n kids he wrote yellow with that guitar, the guitar, the song that brought them to where they are today i know its going to a charity for kids but my god arent they far and detached from their roots enough as is? Viva la Vida sounded so foreign. COMPLETELY AMAZING RECORD dont get me wrong, but it wasnt the Coldplay i listened to at midnight on a park bench when i was 13.... not the coldplay i found when i was 11. it was so not them... nothing ever stays safe and same even my grandpas comfy leather chair is gone. his living room layout is different it will never look the same as the night before i saw coldplay in Mountain View ..im spending christmas with strangers..... everythings changing and I dont feel the same!

December 22, 200916 yr They're doing it for charity... Would you rather them be selfish bastards who don't give a shit about anyone but themselves? I don't think so.
December 22, 200916 yr They're not selling their souls... they're de-cluttering and raising money for chairty in the process

December 22, 200916 yr Majority of the older stuff has probably been stored in a big room for the past few years. It's better to auction it now and get loads of money, just incause they do something so stupid or horrible in a few years time ( for reasons i don't know :shrug: ) which makes no one want to buy their shit. They're making loads of money too for the charity. :D

December 22, 200916 yr why ? :laugh4: and i'm amazed that i could read that quite well backwards. Ooh, well done, I didn't realise it was backwards - I just glanced at it, saw I couldn't read it and figured it was just a language I don't speak :facepalm:
December 22, 200916 yr Ooh, well done, I didn't realise it was backwards - I just glanced at it, saw I couldn't read it and figured it was just a language I don't speak :facepalm: THIS! and i agree with both sides, me being the pack rat i am would be able to sell any of that stuff if i were them and they were sad that they were selling it! but its for such a good cause and honestly for the most part the people that are buying this stuff are going to be appreciate everything so much! like i know if i got ANYTHING i would be so amazed every second a looked at it! like the guitars, they have been EVERYWHERE with the boys, on stage with them everywhere traveled around the world and been played by our boys!! and like the jackets! theyy have worn those to every show and like the Grammies like chris has hugged jay-z in that jacket! like how amazing is that!! lol sorry i just think its so cool!... ill shut up now.
December 22, 200916 yr this end of decade clear out sale is big contradiction actually... and I agree with coldplayzmahlife! but I wish they will buy all that stuff back and it would be double success for charity:P
December 23, 200916 yr Author this end of decade clear out sale is big contradiction actually... and I agree with coldplayzmahlife! but I wish they will buy all that stuff back and it would be double success for charity:P yay! that would be amazing i dk i think i wouldnt feel so bad if like... i had stuff from back then? i dk i mean theyve given sooo much already! the posters and other stuff i dont mind but that first guitar of chris' mounted on someone elses wall like a stuffed deer..... it bugs me the globe and first ever guitar i dont understand how they could sell it even giving it away i could understand better because in that case it would be choosing to gift someone who they thought deserved it with something of theirs you know?
December 23, 200916 yr Author THIS! and i agree with both sides, me being the pack rat i am would be able to sell any of that stuff if i were them and they were sad that they were selling it! but its for such a good cause and honestly for the most part the people that are buying this stuff are going to be appreciate everything so much! like i know if i got ANYTHING i would be so amazed every second a looked at it! like the guitars, they have been EVERYWHERE with the boys, on stage with them everywhere traveled around the world and been played by our boys!! and like the jackets! theyy have worn those to every show and like the Grammies like chris has hugged jay-z in that jacket! like how amazing is that!! lol sorry i just think its so cool!... ill shut up now. i know but like whos to say the people who get it would apreciate it its going to the person with the most money not the person who deserves it the most, and money is NO judge of charecter, like i said before, its really more just the first ever guitar.... and ok maybe the jackets that bug me and their not even finished with the Viva tour either it makes me feel like all the people who are going to see the 2010 Viva tour in latin/south america are just the lagging part of something they want to get on and be done with
December 23, 200916 yr yay! that would be amazing i dk i think i wouldnt feel so bad if like... i had stuff from back then? i dk i mean theyve given sooo much already! the posters and other stuff i dont mind but that first guitar of chris' mounted on someone elses wall like a stuffed deer..... it bugs me the globe and first ever guitar i dont understand how they could sell it even giving it away i could understand better because in that case it would be choosing to gift someone who they thought deserved it with something of theirs you know? They are smart guys. They know that offering things like "Chris' first guitar" is going to raise more money. Is it his first EVER guitar... of course not! But it probably is the first one he played in Coldplay, and he probably never uses it now - so why not get rid of it to some rich person who would never just donate 7grand he doesn't need to a kids chairty, unless he was getting something in return... ultimately, the band get "closure" on their first decade and a really worthwhile cause gets an amazing injection of funds - where's the harm?
December 23, 200916 yr Yes! To be honest, only a globe can be an indeed dear thing for them. Stuff is actually pretty old... and, for example, they don’t sell favourite Chris’s piano, they don’t sell ALL guitars from viva la vida era, they don’t sell even a few of Grammies! So, their favourite instruments and things remain with them!:smug:
December 23, 200916 yr I'm sure that they have some other stuff that they are 'attached' to so they feel it's no big deal in clearing out some stuff and like other say, it's for charity!!
December 23, 200916 yr one day you look at your first guitar in the light and think, man that's a bag of shite
December 23, 200916 yr i know but like whos to say the people who get it would apreciate it its going to the person with the most money not the person who deserves it the most, and money is NO judge of charecter, like i said before, its really more just the first ever guitar.... and ok maybe the jackets that bug me and their not even finished with the Viva tour either it makes me feel like all the people who are going to see the 2010 Viva tour in latin/south america are just the lagging part of something they want to get on and be done with But thats not really the point of this whole thing, its not like they just throwing it all out cause they don't want it anymore, they selling it for a great cause that they believe in. and whose to say that the people with the most money aren't going to appreciate it? the people with the most money could deserve it just as much as me and you! your right money is not judge of character so you can't say that someone who has the money to spend on this doesn't love the boys as much as you and me!
