I ran away 12782 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 He seems to have been at that charity event where Chris performed. He mentions Fools' Gold and Monkey's Paw and says he knows something about LP8. Probably just another K. ? Guys, I know for sure he was joking with that Monkey's Paw/Fool's Gold comment. Both are fake titles made up by He Who Should Not Be Named (aka K. :D) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
I ran away 12782 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Well, Monkeys Paw is a famous story about a cursed monkey paw that grants three wishes, the wishes come true with terrible outcomes. How that relates to the album, who knows? Jimmy was just joking, it's a fake title made up by a troll. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
merril 502 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Jimmy was just joking, it's a fake title made up by a troll. Oh course Jimmy was joking. Perhaps he is the troll. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
I ran away 12782 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Oh course Jimmy was joking. Perhaps he is the troll. No offense to him, but to be honest I still have not excluded that theory from my mind... :eyes: 3 Link to post Share on other sites
merril 502 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Maybe Chris did actually play something new today? This can be further justified by the cut piece of the setlist paper. :p If Chris had played something new that would by now be all over the Internet. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
HowCouldIForget 246 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Is there any chance Coldplay reworked this Charlie Chaplin piece into an intro/outro like on Viva? They did that with Light Through the Veins 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Coeurli 806 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 He seemed to keep something secret on discord, he might know something we don't, but he isn't allowed to talk about it. Maybe Chris did actually play something new today? This can be further justified by the cut piece of the setlist paper. :p Maybe "TiT" for Trouble in Town ?? It's the likely first single based on the source code leak from coldplay.com.... Link to post Share on other sites
Coeurli 806 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Is there any chance Coldplay reworked this Charlie Chaplin piece into an intro/outro like on Viva? They did that with Light Through the Veins Yeah I could totally see that If Chris had played something new that would by now be all over the Internet. I'm not so sure the performance of the song would be leaked everywhere if Chris asked not to film it. The first time ASFOS was played, at a Coldplay concert they managed not to have it leaked massively... but we knew the song had been played of course! So if he did indeed play a new song, we may not have gotten an audio or a video of it but for sure, I agree, people would have talked about it and that information would have probably been all over the Internet, with descriptions of what it sounded like etc etc 5 Link to post Share on other sites
maeli 154 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 It is all speculation... Hopefully tomorrow we get something new... Link to post Share on other sites
stephen 313 Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 Nothing new was played. Jimmy does actually have information that is not public. It is just a confirmation of a song title as far as I know. Monkeys paw is a joke I think. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
yoyo2000 1301 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 One more theory: The new single + album information are scheduled to be released the day after the depicted moon phase! This means approximately on Wednesday. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites
stephen 313 Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 One more theory: The new single + album information are scheduled to be released the day after the depicted moon phase! This means approximately on Wednesday. This seems possible. According to Ken19 we should’ve gotten information Friday but it was delayed. Wednesday seems very likely. Tomorrow is also possible! 7 Link to post Share on other sites
LelieJens 371 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I'm thinking a small teaser tomorrow, a bigger teaser wednesday and then a single on friday. Seems plausible riiiiight? 5 Link to post Share on other sites

What that means in Coldplay’s world, though, is likely not 10-minute ambient soundscapes and jarring techno-noise but more pop classics with subtle undertones of something new.” My thoughts exactly.

Haha I get the point of the article, since their last few albums had that kind of appeal..but at the same time I kinda think this is a little ridiculous... I mean she can't really guess what they are aiming to in this new era. There isnt even a single yet, and..well they did have moments in their careear that sound quite experimental: Spies (early version), spell rebel well, even some solos on pré-parachutes era, like in such a rush. On viva we had chinese sleep chant, the bridge/structure of 42, the escapist. I know its not like Kid a's experimental but..it is a lot more than the last few records, even though midnight kind has a little of that touch...So Idk...maybe the band can go back doing those kinda of stuffs, A.L.I.E.N.S did gave a hint in that direction, those reverse guitars...idk hahaha. So I guess that some people forgot about these moments on their careear, it makes me a little sad. Anyway...dont know what to expect for now...but.. I mean...enough of the mainstream pop feel, it has been too long. And sorry about my english guys 6 Link to post Share on other sites
ColdplayingfromKansas 773 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 May we all wake up Monday morning and have a nice juicy teaser waiting for us! (for those of who who it's already Monday . . . may we get a nice juicy teaser before you go to bed!) 8 Link to post Share on other sites

Haha I can't imagine us getting a whole album as daring as Viva ever again, apart from a song here and there like Midnight. But what I love about Coldplay is that they can make a soaring anthem out of everything from baroque music to electronic-infused dance rock, space rock, and a piano ballad. Though I consider myself an Oldplayer, I've come to accept that there's something very distinctly "Coldplay" that is always there whether they are pushing their sonic limits or not. This article is spot on about what I'm expecting. Doesn't mean I'm not hyped, because I am. I'm just not expecting a full album of classical music or jazz. 7 Link to post Share on other sites
shred 775 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 So because of that snippet, I’ve been listening to VLV and GS non stop now. I may or may not be hoping that the new album will sound like either one of those. Hahaha. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

The uniqueness is in Jonny's tone, Chris's voice and the atmosphere/build-up created by the rhythm section (Will and Guy). Even if every song is not a "bleeding exploration of rock's edges" (as one article put it some time ago I remember), it is still uniquely and distinctly Coldplay -- which makes even their so-called lesser works awesome for me! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
