nvdmm Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Let's see! I'm going to be 50 at this month's end. The last time I went to a concert before Coldplay was in the early 1990s. It was a stadium concert in Foxboro, MA with Elton John, Sting, Don Henley, Jimmy Buffet, Melissa Etheridge, etc... Since I became a mom in 1995, I live my life within a 3-4 miles radius, between my kids' school, the store, the gym, the church. I do my work at home. We're in a rural area where public transportation is miles away, so I really, really have to love a band to even dress up and figure out trains and buses to get to a concert. So far, only Coldplay has been able to accomplish that fit. I respect Bono as a humanitarian. While I have all of Coldplay's albums and EPs, I don't own a single U2's album. I tried to watch 1 of their 360 concerts on youtube and got bored quickly. While I like a couple of their songs, I couldn't possibly listen to any of their albums from start to finish like I do with Coldplay. So as we've been saying all along, it's just a matter of taste. The Coldplay sound (old and new) just reaches me in a way that U2's never did. I used to look for upbeat music for my workouts, but now I can exercise or walk for hrs listening to Coldplay music and interviews and giggle like a little girl (remember I'm going to be 50 at month's end). Beauty indeed is the eye of the beholder. Cheers! okay very valid points there now i completely understand :) The comics will always be there just like the video, so say If someone watches this years later and find interest in the story he or she will know that the band made theses comics and it can be acquired if that person desires to do so. lol i doubt anyone will be interested in MX in a few years! not exactly that kind of material Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickinit4real22 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 okay very valid points there now i completely understand :) lol i doubt anyone will be interested in MX in a few years! not exactly that kind of material You don't know that for sure in fact neither of us does. Coldplay gets new fans all the time that sometimes become acquainted with their work and old fans that get reacquainted with the band also. Some of those people might be intrigued from the video, and then willing to get the comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LiquidSky Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 gave it a 4/10 the song is cut short in a very annoying way. I love the song in its enterity so I think I'll look forward to the live 2012 video of it & consider it the official video. I would love the video to be fully animated. It wasn't. It showed that the comics are going to be really good, but it added nothing to the song! The plain ad at the end was quite silly. It will stay in the video years after the comics are over & done with. That's funny in a sad way. The video is just making me wanna read the comics just to read them... but I thought the video was def. different. I'm not sure if I liked it or not (I'm so used to seeing Coldplay in their music videos that like everybody else said.. this felt like an ad and not an actual music video) but different because they've never done something similar before and they are the only ones doing this. I also didn't like that it wasn't animated. I think it would have been better if it was animated. The video makes me feel like I could have made the video with an app. myself and honestly it was a matter of time before a fan made a fan-video with the scans of the comic... (scan the comic pages, make it hd, add the comic texts throughout the video, add some cool colorful effect, add where you can order it at the end..) But overall, I think it would have been better if the video was all animated and not just on some parts. Regardless, I still liked the video.

alanmangobear Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 So I've figured it all out! The way the world is gonna end: Coldplay offends you with their music video You offend other Coldplayers Other Coldplayers offend Coldplayers who like Radiohead Coldplayers who like Radiohead offend some random guy Some random guy offends a Bieber fan A Bieber fan offends everyone who isn't a Bieber fan Everyone who isn't a Bieber fan offend all the 13 year old girls All the 13 year old girls offend all the boys All the boys offend the adults The adults offend the leaders of all the countries The leaders of all the countries offend all the citizens of all the other countries The citizens of all the other countries offend the aliens The aliens destroy the earth... Moral of the story? Do not let Coldplay offend you. lol, this is one of the best posts I've ever read :hat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deirdre Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I was surprised by the strong negative opinions a few pages back about the video, that it's just to promote the comics, that it's not a "real" video, etc. Like others said, a video is to promote a song, here Coldplay is promoting a song and the comics (that they both created), I don't get what's wrong with that! I like the video, it fits the song, even if it's a shame that they cut the song here and there. I liked the world in which the characters live in and I would like to read the comics so I can know the rest of the story. We're all car kids, baby :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathanpeel Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Hahah yea i got it off ebay.. it was a rip off but i dont care.. ive got the digital download if you want it :) When did you get the digital download?

paradise2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I love the video. I know it is animated but I still love it. In my opinion any Coldplay video is perfection even if they aren't in it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paradise2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I am aware that 10/10 is perfection. But I can't change my vote now. I absolutely love the video. Do you have an issue with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest howyousawtheworld Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Wow. Heard Hurts Like Heaven on BBC Radio Scotland and my god they butchered the radio edit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldplero Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 It's just a fucking ad. That's what's annoying about it. Totally agree with you... they could use the video to advertice in TV, but an official video for such a marvellous song? No way! I hope they release another video, like they did with Violet Hill where they made 2 videos... Amazing song, bad video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can totally see how the video is an ad for the comics, but I personally love the story in the video. I think it perfectly captures the spirit of MX and HLH. I think it only fair to be judged on its own merit and it does represent the album better than any other MX videos, because it tells the story that is the backbone of MX. I love the concept, hence I love the video :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86Timewarp Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Louise lmfao. I like Coldplay a lot, but they are some songs that aren't perfect, atleast for me. Take Lukas and a Spell Yell Rebel, for example; I could never get into those songs. I like the video, but I kinda felt that they could've done more with the video and not have it be a marketing tool for the comic. It's such an awesome song, I think PoC would've been a better candidate for the comic since the video was shoddy :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
