The Coldplay gigs that are impossible to forget (for all the wrong reasons...)

They should write an article on how creepy it is that they're lurking D; I was going to share the story about how I killed that guy, but now I can't trust this place.

:lol::lol::lol:

But a concert-goer named Denise wrote on the band's web forum:"My xyloband woke me up in the middle of the night and it's still glowing."

 

Look! They mentioned us as official band website in da paper!!!

 

Why does the journalist act like people dislike having the bands come on again? :thinking: If they read any more than the 3 posts mentioned, they would realise people are overjoyed to have their band start flashing again, it reminds them of the awesome time they had at the concert. Some people even found a way to turn the band on manually, hardly behaviour of miffed fans

 

'cos it's a story that will get readers and sell papers. Rather simple.

I think its MORE creepy that these papers are quoting us all OUT of context!

and again my post is mentioned :|

 

this is really pissing me off big time

Aren't all the posts on here property of the poster and coldplaying.com? Or can anything you post publicly then be quoted anywhere else without any credit?

 

I wouldn't be happy either.

Here's mine in the morning a few days ago. FYI, I'm French and went to Nice gig on May 22nd.

 

I think it's definitely a question of radio frequency.

Definately. There are only so many frequencies and sooner or later something's going to use the same one. It's the same principle as picking up phone signals on a baby monitor, or when you get radio interference through your television or computer speakers. Not an uncommon occurance at all, actually.

I saw Coldplay at the Emirates Stadium on the 1st June. My pink wrist band started "glowing in the dark" again on Monday (11th) and my husbands white band lit up in front of my very eyes at 22.09 last night (12th) so 11 and 12 days after the gig respectively. Is this the record??? Out of interest the white band was still glowing (if somewhat dimly) at 06.15 this morning but is now all glowed out!!!!

My wristband from the Emirates 1st June refused to do anything when I saw them at the Etihad on the 9th June, but the one they gave me their carried on glowing all of saturday night. Then my Emirates one decided to start glowing again when I got home on Sunday evening and finally gave up yesterday! :stunned:

 

I don't think it's creepy, I think it's cool, and frankly, if Coldplay are trying to 'brainwash' us or whatever, they only need ask, I'd happily do what they tell me! :laugh3:

I understand that, it was more a rhetorical question :P the point being the paper is petty and inaccurate

Got my Xyloband at the club Nokia show in LA on Feb. 8. It started flashing in Houston on April 20th! That's 71 days later.

I actually got up and looked out my window expecting them to be outside on my street or something. :laugh3:

I have a white one from one of the San Jose shows in April. It didn't work during the show, but started flashing late that night, 3 hours after the show, in my hotel room. The band's hotel was a block from mine - I thought they were trying to send me a late-night message. LOL

My white one from the 1st June at The Emirates was lit up when I just got back from dinner at my friend's, still glowing now, hope it lasts till tomorrow , I can take it to work and show it off! :)

Tbh I think we're all already in some form of Coldplay mind control, so if they have any worldwide dominations planned I can't wait! :D :laugh3::laugh3:

 

But yeah, I remember a few months ago when my first Xyloband started flashing in the early hours of the morning, of which at first was just a random flash in the corner of my eye when I was sitting at my computer desk, then it went off again after a bit and I was like ahhhh :o :D think I saw it briefly flash again after that too, but then I went to my bed and gave it to my dad to watch until I got back up :p although he said it never flashed again though :( but since then I've been able to amuse myself by using a paperclip to light it up at times 8)

 

I've got a new Xyloband from the Manchester Eithad Stadium gig on 9th June just there, so hopefully I'll maybe see it going off randomly at somepoint or another! might have had a better chance if I had been in/around Manchester for 10th June too, with the 2nd concert going on it surely would've been active at somepoint or another haha! although if I had been in Manchester that night too, I would've been at that concert as well, instead of just being there like 'WHY am I not seeing Coldplay again?!' :p

Mine started glowing about an hour ago and hasn't switched off yet. :D It's not flashing though, just a steady pink glow.

 

This is the first time it's done it since their Emirates show last Monday.

 

I can't help but wonder if it's because of my radio. I put my radio on for the first time since Emirates today and my wrist band which is by the side of it switched on. Okay, I'm no physicist but I do wonder.

 

I'm going out now, I'll see if it's still glowing when I return...

(I hope it doesn't run out of batteries though)

 

EDIT: Yep, it's been glowing now for over four hours. :cry:

 

EDIT AGAIN: Well I didn't want it to run out of batteries so I stuck a safety pin in it and after a couple of seconds of fiddling, it switched off. Now I know how to turn it off and on, as full glow and intermittent flashing. Yay!

I know how to get the bands to glow. Hit the band hard against a hard object till it glows. The security guards outside the Hollywood Bowl did this and their bands were glowing way aft6er the concert when the concert goers were no longer lit. I asked the guard about this. I do not know how long it will stay lit till the battery goes out.
