Andy14 17 Posted October 10, 2017 Hey folks! For the last few months I've been working away at a little Coldplay fan project I've decided to call Famous Old Painters. The goal was to build a nice looking resource for fans to learn about the writing and recording history of Coldplay's album songs. It's been a blast to make; hope you enjoy taking a look :) http://famousoldpainters.com 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMDB9 4693 Posted October 10, 2017 Wow, that's amazing! You should let the band know about it through their contact form or something! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I ran away 12778 Posted October 10, 2017 Amazing website !! :) Just one technical thing, on Firefox the text lines below the song videos break off in the middle and I cannot find the rest. And also, it would be cool if you could someday expand it to include the B-sides discography and possibly even unreleased songs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMDB9 4693 Posted October 13, 2017 I know it would probably ruin the look of the site, but you should add advertisements on the page...especially since Coldplay tweeted about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
