^ Of course they did it on purpose . . . . Torturing their fans is one of their favorite recreational activities :awesome:

Hahahahaha They did it on purpose. It's not a coincidence that poc wass played at rock Im park which also wasn't televised meaning no great tv recording, leaves it somewhat mystique

 

The Oracle?????????????????????????????????????????

^ :hug:

 

D'awww, your signature just rocks. I just had to commend it somewhere :P

Aww, thank you! :blush:

I'd be surprised if this wasn't brought back sooner rather than later

I think it makes nosense that Coldplay have stopped playing PoC just because of the "spiring" mural behind them in The Rock am Ring Festival. They won't have finished it yet. As "Bach" says, they will probably want to change some things from the song and try new experiments.

 

But don't worry beacuse in the new album Princess of China will have the best quality of all!!!!!!!!!

They're just holding back so the new album isn't spoiled. The release date would be kind of anti-climactic if everyone already knew all the songs on the album. They saw how the videos went viral and knew anything they played at any venue was going to be out there in a big way.

I am sure they like the song a lot. They just don't want to spoil many songs before LP5 comes out.

 

totally agree with you!

It will most probably be on the album, Chris seemed excited about it. But maybe they thought 7-8 new songs is a bit too much considering they don't want to spoil everything on the album

For sure. Especially to festival crowds who aren't there just to see Coldplay. Only hardcore fans want to see Princess of China again with other new songs but if you were in Coldplay's shoes dropping old classics for new songs at festivals would seem like a very silly thing to do. They've found the perfect balance between satisfying harcore fans who want to hear new stuff at every gig and more casual fans who just want to sing along to the likes of In My Place and Yellow at these festivals.

Or they just like Germans and hate the rest of us:P

^lol

Are you crazy!? They haven't given up on it! That'd be suicide!!!

:lol:

Well if it's not on LP5 then hopefully it'll be on a single.

Come on guy, listen to the better version. If this song isn't on LP5 I personally will find I way to punish them! :inquisitive::veryangry2::laugh3:;)

I love that song so much and i dont hope they played it just on time at Rock im Park to see how it WOULD have worked live :cry::cry::cry:

It's crazy how everyone is going nuts over a song that they didn't even hear correctly. I don't and can't understand why it has become some people favorite new song.

Let's wait until we hear it the way it should be heard not these crappy Youtube videos. It make you lose all music credibility.

You can hear definetely some little details which will be clearer on the studio version. But the melody, the chinese-touch, the lalalala-parts...I love it! I imangine a great studio version which is really different to all the pop songs in the radios.

I´m just wondering if the album is about a Space/Future-Story, in which way PoC would fit into it ?!? Does anybody got an idea ???

I'm agree, the intrumental seems to be very beautiful :heart: but I think the lyrics is average, maybe the original of album will be different than the live version :)

I would have prefered Princess Of Kingdom for title than Princess Of China but I think they've chosen this title because on every album they chose a country theme...

^ Princess of Kingdom? :thinking: No offense, but I think Princess of China fits better with the context of the song :)

The first song that comes to mind when I hear it (and I've only heard it once) is Yes. I may be way out on that, but I'm sure the band are looking for more of a Viva La Vida vibe this summer, with say Charlie Brown and Hurts Like Heaven. When Coldplay fans are paying especially to see Coldplay, they'll drop the favourites in the set, but at Glasto etc, they have to crowd-please, let's be honest.

 

As for the screen theory, I don't buy it. I would let nothing stop me from playing a song I enjoy live.

^ :nod: It seems to me that it's like a cross between Yes and Viva la Vida

 

 

But I think the guys dropped it from the setlist simply because it didn't fit very well with the other songs :shrug:

^Yeah I hardly believe they dropped it from the set because it wasn't good enough. Everyone seems to really like it! And the quality of the videos suck (except laxwatcher's version :) )!!
