March 4, 201214 yr I just finished downloading the MTV2 show! haha I take care of the other tomorrow ;) What is it infact ?
March 4, 201214 yr Coeurli your picspam makes me want to download this NOW !!! :dazzled: it look like interesting :awesome:
March 4, 201214 yr Well... Sunday night (here). Is it time to start commenting on this? Did you all watch? I'll spoiler it, so I can say what I want to... These are my opinions and thoughts, as they come to me.. Well first off, I didn't expect it to be such an old documentary, but no less interesting for all that. But not entirely accurate was it? Starfish.. this film gave the impression that they did quite a few gigs under that name, when we all know that's not the case. Hardly ANY interviews with the band, lots of photos used over and over.. and all the interviews were more than likely recorded long before the video was put together. Not one single interview or comment from Guy.. it was almost like he didn't exist! Will looked so different! I couldn't get over how much he's changed since then! for the better obviously! Not one single live performance in the entire thing... not even any songs from the band, so one can only assume this was a very un-official thing. Not approved by the band at all. Some extremely young looking Chris's! LOL.. (although the bearded bits were very nice,.. :D ) Who were those people they interviewed?! A sound engineer, (Although my ears perked up when I heard they originally recorded in Puttenham... which according to the narrator is close to London.. it's not.. not really, unless you count 50 miles or so close!! Unless it's another Puttenham I don't know about.. I drove past there today.. :D) a promoter, some woman I forget what she was....and some odd bloke in some unknown (at least to me) band... although I thought the promoter (the girl with the terrible accent) was the only one who actually had anything interesting to say! Her predictions about their future, and their fourth album were almost on the money! Which is amazing considering that X&Y wasn't even released at this point.. It gave me goosebumps.. I did enjoy it... although it was definitely amateurishly put together, and would as I pointed out above, have benefitted hugely by lots more interviews or quotes from the actual band.. rather than those random people! :P Looking forward to hearing your opinions everyone. you said pretty much most of what I had in mind..although I didn't like it all. I felt really bored :dozey: & the low quality didn't help either..& WHERE WERE THE SONGS??? It looked like those ancient 911 videos, especially with the guy portraying Phil was on the phone.I expected him to say " 911, what can I do to help you?" or something like that with some sad story coming afterwards!!:inquisitive: A bit of disappointment I have to say:\ P.S. I've watched the Toronto gig one more time today :) it seems I can't get enough of it..I always say to myself one more song then stop, but I end up playing all the gig..happened 3 times this week :cool:

Looking forward to hearing your opinions everyone. As I listened to the interview with the random people discussing Coldplay I thought to myself. They could have easily interview us, I've said pretty much some things they discussed. Like Chris and how he uses his voice as an instrument. The uniqueness of Chris's voice, how he holds notes and really means what he's singing. Didn't know he's known Phil since he was 14. They have a long history together. :nice: Chris saying we're all made of the same things, meaning we are same. None of us are better. I say, thank you Chris for not letting things get to your head and acting like an idiot. :) you said pretty much most of what I had in mind..although I didn't like it all.

I kept thinking, ahhh..that's not Phil. :laugh3: It was okay but didn't like the way Chris is portrayed as a little sad, insecure, not his usual funny charming self.

March 5, 201214 yr I uploaded the correct one here, in case anyone needs it.. https://rapidshare.com/files/609251335/cake_club_video_march_3rd_12.mp4 Hello, thanks for the download, I'm currently downloading. :D I think this week will be pretty busy for me, so I'm not sure I'll be able to watch it. How long is it??? I won't read all your comments till I've seen it :D
March 6, 201214 yr Of course :D edit: Just be aware: There is a little bit of fangirling going on here, so I hope you don't mind :lol:
March 6, 201214 yr I watched the documentary yesterday! This is the first time I saw a documentary on Coldplay without any Coldplay song! :lol: Anyway I thinks I must to watch it again because my english is bad and I don't understand all.

March 6, 201214 yr Author Yeah, the promoter girl in particular.. I didn't think it might be hard for you girls to understand it.. But I guess it would be... It obviously wasn't hard for me, just unpleasant! :rolleyes:

What the woman said (she's an event planner or something like that, right ? :thinking: ) about their future was indeed quite right! Except that it's after their 3rd album, not their 4th, that they changed direction, but yes, pretty much right! It is obviously non official, since they shot by themselves something that looked like a shot from the Yellow video (the man walking on the beach), instead of showing the original one :lol: And the interviewees are pretty random :lol: But it was interesting, and they insisted a lot on how starting bands try to do a record and get signed and stuff. And yes OHMYGOD Will!! SO different! :lol: Looking forward to hearing your opinions everyone. As I listened to the interview with the random people discussing Coldplay I thought to myself.

Some of the interviewees have a pretty strong accent :nod: :laugh3: true I was like "What??? :thinking:" sometimes :laugh3:
March 8, 201214 yr I had no problems with the accents, but yeah, for those who may not speak English as their first language and such, it could be a bit difficult, no question. That picspam-ohhhhhhhhhhh, lovely, lovely shots there (I too liked the coldplaying.com sign :D! Whee!). Definitely got some of the best moments from that interview. As I listened to the interview with the random people discussing Coldplay I thought to myself. They could have easily interview us :nod: I thought the exact same thing! Didn't know he's known Phil since he was 14. They have a long history together. :nice: Nor did I. That's pretty cool. I also like the story about Phil putting out his own money to help them out early on-now I understand the backstory Q magazine was referring to in their latest issue where they talk to the band after their gig at that little club they once played at. And the stuff said about bands starting in school makes me think-that seems to be a very common thing with many of the bands I like. They all started out in high school/college (or even a bit before that). Or if not that, they've at least been friends/worked together for a few years prior to starting their current bands. And surprise, surprise, they're all generally still together or, if they've broken up, they've done so on good terms and still remain friendly. I also liked the bit about the band dividing things up equally. I don't understand why some bands don't do that more-that lady made reference to how singer/songwriters would assume since they wrote the songs they should get more money, but then I'd argue, well, if they think that, why have a band at all? Why not just go be a solo artist, then? If one is going to form a band, it seems crazy to not want to split things equally. Yes, one person may write the songs, but if they're meant for a band, without all the other members' input it'll just be words and notes on a piece of paper. So I'm always happy when I hear about a band being fair in its dealings, and I like that Coldplay followed that method. Chris saying we're all made of the same things, meaning we are same. None of us are better. I say, thank you Chris for not letting things get to your head and acting like an idiot. :) Amen to that! Now I'll spoiler my specific bits I wanted to note: 1. I totally would've loved to hear that "teenage Pet Shop Boys" type band that was alluded to in reference to the guys' early days in various bands :lol:. 2. Couple of interesting "what if"s (and no pun intended here :p): -Will nearly lost out on being a drummer twice if this is anything to go by, 'cause his friend was originally supposed to be the drummer, and then after the fight with Chris he left! -Starfish was their original name, as noted Had Will not been the drummer, and had they stuck with Starfish as a name, one wonders what would've become of them? Bit of food for thought. 3. I liked the bit about them breaking America. It's very funny how we can be hot and cold sometimes with our foreign acts here. Blur didn't make a huge splash, Radiohead has a cult following, Coldplay broke big, so did Oasis (briefly in the latter's case, but still-I sure heard them on the radio a hell of a lot more than I did Blur in the '90s). And then tracing back, we had the Beatles and Stones getting huge, but the Kinks took a while (being banned for 5 years likely didn't help matters there), and the Jam and Squeeze later on also struggled here. It's very hit and miss sometimes, and I think some of it might have to do with the fact that groups like Coldplay, Oasis, the Beatles, the Stones...they're British and may have moments that indicate that here and there, but they still have enough universal themes that people here in the States can relate to as well. Blur and the Kinks and the Jam dealt with specifically British themes sometimes, and unless you were up on your British culture it might not have had much relevance for you. (Me, personally, I love music from all the aforementioned bands above. I'm pretty much a sucker for most British music in general. And if I don't get the reference it intrigues me a bit and makes me want to find out what they're talking about) But that could be a whole other tangent. Still, I'm curious about others' thoughts on that subject. 4. I also like how they talked about how different Coldplay were from some of the stuff getting airplay here in the States. At the time the band started breaking over here, there were so many Nickelback/3 Doors Down/Staind types of bands going around, and I just could not get into those sorts of acts AT ALL. So when I started hearing songs like "Trouble", or "In My Place", or "The Scientist" on the radio at that time period it was like a breath of fresh air. Something beautiful. Something pretty. Something new and interesting and uplifting for once. I love dark music as much as the next person, and love a lot of '90s bands that the 3 Doors Downs and Nickelbacks and whatnot were inspired by, but at the end of the day I need some happiness and hope and such in my music, too. And Coldplay provided that. And still does. That's always been a big part of their appeal for me. Okay, so that got a bit long-winded, perhaps, LOL. But there's kinda my main thoughts, so...take from it what you will. Oh, and one more thing-that repetitive drumming that kept going on in the background music at points-did that give anyone else a bit of a headache after a while or was it just me :p?
March 8, 201214 yr Oh, and one more thing-that repetitive drumming that kept going on in the background music at points-did that give anyone else a bit of a headache after a while or was it just me :p? This.
March 8, 201214 yr Author Had Will not been the drummer, and had they stuck with Starfish as a name, one wonders what would've become of them? Bit of food for thought. Oh, and one more thing-that repetitive drumming that kept going on in the background music at points-did that give anyone else a bit of a headache after a while or was it just me :p? I wondered what the ACTUAL drummer who was originally going to drum, but went up the pub or whatever NOW thinks.. ! Does he go.. OMG I totally missed out there? And YES that drumming drove me bonkers! :inquisitive:
March 8, 201214 yr I wondered what the ACTUAL drummer who was originally going to drum, but went up the pub or whatever NOW thinks.. ! Does he go.. OMG I totally missed out there? Haha, no kidding! Wonder what he went off to do in the end? And YES that drumming drove me bonkers! :inquisitive: Glad I'm not alone :lol:!
March 9, 201214 yr Author You're never alone. :D Not in here LOL.. So ladies and gentlemen (I am sure some do pop in here from time to time)... What are we going to have for this week's Video? I have a suggestion if we're looking to be doing a concert this week? http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=49522 First link download.. I've searched high and low for this concert, and FINALLY it's been re-uploaded... thanks to SueDeNimes. (I REALLY appreciate this by the way! :)).. It's an awesome little gig, LOTS and lots of chat from Chris, although the quality isn't mega, it more than makes up for that in personality and charm. So whatcha think people? (Btw, even if we don't use this - I recommend DL and watching!).
