But yeah, I dont think it'll be since its not as colorful as it would be. Plus, if they were to switch to an egyptian theme, then it would be best to save it for another album.

jc90 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 An Egyptian theme for the next album would be sick Visually it'd be okay I guess, but musically, iunno what that even means hah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplayisawesome Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Visually it'd be okay I guess, but musically, iunno what that even means hah it's just 10 different covers of Walk Like an Egyptian by the Bangles :joy: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getithom Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Alright then, at this point, what's everyone's prediction for the release date ? :dance: Give me some precise dates! :grinning: February 20. :cool: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdplayingfromKansas Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Visually it'd be okay I guess, but musically, iunno what that even means hah I've always gotten a Middle Eastern-type vibe from the strings in Yes. Something like that I guess is close to what I had in mind Plus we were supposed to get some Indian influences on AHFoD, so why not go for another country :joy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getithom Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Oh and btw, if anyone here is interested, the subreddit is another fantastic place and community for the band. Personally I much prefer the user interface of Reddit to these forum-type websites, but both are great. Anyone here is who is already on the sub? Howdy! Shameless plug, but I'm one of the "original" mods on /r/coldplay along with several others who have really made the place the joy it is today. Seriously, they've done a wonderful job running it. It's been nearly five years and it still makes me happy seeing people talk about it on Coldplaying. I'm really glad you enjoy it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea that the sub had been going for almost five years... although now that I think about it, I've never seen any old threads from before MX. Actually now that I've checked it, it says that the sub has been active since September 2008! Edit: For anyone who missed it, the previous comment about the subreddit is in reply to a (quite lengthy, I will admit, but special and inspiring!) comment I originally posted at the end of page 22, which has now been moved to another thread, the "Coldplaying's history" thread. Calling all Coldplayers who have shared their love of the band on this magnificent website over the years, new and old! Let's all collate as much of Coldplaying's history as we can and make these times of the band's history some special ones to look back on, like we do now with MX and VLV eras. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The place has indeed been around since 2008, but when I got on board in 2012, there were only 65 subscribers. It was pretty much a ghost town. Ever since then it's been on the up and up!

I remember back when AHFOD was just rolling out we had a little over 6,000. Now we're almost at 8k. Right?! It's crazy. I genuinely don't know where all these people keep coming from. I think in the five years I've been a part of the team, we've only run one ad -- and that was in 2012. It's awesome, but confusing. Lol. Been meaning to talk to you about your subreddit. Could ya brighten it up a lil? I mean, this era was supposed to be about colours and stuff, but its so gloomy in that reddit, hah Haha, I understand what you mean. But the one who designs our subreddit went through a couple different designs and this one looked best. We might be changing it up for Kaleidoscope, but we'll see! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyrott1 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 New hope for Kaleidoscope EP: Protest song. It has been a weird/scary week in the U.S. with Trump and a lot of artists are responding with protest tracks, including a huge Coldplay influencer Arcade Fire. I know the message of AHFOD was "peace, love, togetherness, hope" which is awesome in its own way right now, but every once and a while I think you just need to release something that is "f**k all" Its mostly been hip-hop and and more alternative artists protesting--but Coldplay could actually reach more people with their biggest-band-in-the-world platform. I don't know, maybe that would ruin the tone of AHFOD--but this era didn't get an angry song which are usually my favorite from Coldplay, so what do you guys think about a protest/anger song? Should Coldplay finally go punk/metal :) ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc90 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 ehh, dunno if jumping into this political mess is a good idea. you either piss off one side of the room or the other, so just stand in the middle and get a nice view of everything. and no, i'm not saying they should be scared sheep, but i honestly dont think Coldplay saying "we love/hate trump" will sway anyone to love/hate trump to try and be like them. a protest song wont magically make trump (supporters) suddenly change their minds either. y'know what i mean? I just see more harm than good that can come from it. my $0.02 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just see more harm than good that can come from it. my $0.02 i think they could release something with a particular message that would obviously hint at what they're talking about, but not directly release it AS a protest song (and especially if it's part of the EP, for example, it could blend in really well.) they've managed it before, with songs like Politik and Violet Hill :shrug: but it has to come out organically, anyway, so it's really whatever Chris is feeling right now, if he even wants to be in that kind of an angry mindset :p 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC01Coldplay Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I highly doubt Coldplay would do anything on Trump. They've said hardly anything about him. If they were to do a political song it would at the very least be on Brexit (as Chris spoken against it), but I doubt that as well. As much as I'd love a more angry rockier song I don't think it's gonna happen, at least not on politics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc90 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Politik and Violet Hill Good luck reproducing Politik! They've said hardly anything about him. If they were to do a political song it would at the very least be on Brexit, but I doubt that as well. I think an entertainment outlet tried to goat him into saying something about Trump and he just responded in a very politically correct manner, not really choosing sides. So, there you have it. And agreed, they had their chance with Brexit, but while they did at least comment on it, it wasn't too in depth and was only a few instances. I mean, the band are still mostly an English band, only Chris has strong-ish American ties. Might be at least a tad out of place for them to comment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
