Why aren't Coldplay more like Radiohead?

Featured Replies

hey all.

 

I was pondering stuff earlier, and thought...why don't Coldplay be a bit more like Radiohead and Franz Ferdinand and change their setlist every gig?

Why do they constantly have the same setlist (ok, some songs occasionally change) every gig?

 

I mean, the setlist of the UK leg of the 2009 tour was fantastic, but it would add more anticipation and surprise to the concert if they changed the songs!

Probably because they either find it easier, especially for the roadies and technicians who run the show or because they dont have the set up to change the setlist every night.

Because presently these are their best 25 songs for this tour. And if they will simply change the order of songs, Chris will begin to forget words far more frequent:lol:

That would be very brilliant if they did make more variations.

 

But on the larger coldplay shows, it just must be easier for roadies and crew to stick with same setlist. Seeing as there are big visuals with many songs.

 

It would be great it they changed the song they play on the c stage everynight. :nice:

Make a playlist of all the songs that aren't on the setlist already, shuffle and what ever comes up they play. :laugh4:

Yeah, that’s right, and I’m wait with impatience when we will finally hear a leading vocal from Guy and Jonny! :whip:

:thumbsup: :clap:

 

 

youre one of mines :wink3:

 

 

Go COldplay :dance:

 

 

 

and they dont change cause different people go and see the amazing show,so the setlist is quite the same for people to enjoy the greatest songs...

 

:D

Coldplay has loads of effects (think LIJ butterflies) and so having the same order of songs makes it so much easier for the techies and roadies to get all the sound, lights and effects perfect every time!

because they have all the shiny stuff in their concerts and they can't change it every night :(

:thumbsup: :clap:

rofl.

You should get The Bends by Radiohead. It's very Coldplay-ish.

This.

 

But when I saw Radiohead on the In Rainbows tour the lights changed depending on the songs sound which I thought was really cool.

How come radiohead manage those amazing lights and sounds?

If anything, the vlv tour had a simple setup, apart from glass of water, lij and. Maybe 42. Coldplay will never do over-extravagent shows, so it shouldn't be so hard.

How about instead of totally dismissing the thread topic because you probably haven't even LISTENED to Radiohead and don't even care, make a post that makes you NOT look stupid, post a constructive reason like 'they might not feel the need', 'they might already just want to keep the configuration the same for a few gigs', etc. I mean it's probably already thought about but it doesn't make you look dumb.

 

Jesus. It's NOT that hard to post something new to the discussion for once instead of pulling shit like this. I'm sorry but this post just pissed me off, no wonder why some of the not-so-nuts-fans get so annoyed.

 

I'm grumpy now, thanks for that.
