I ran away

For You vs Help Is Round The Corner

I think your second theory is the most plausible explanation I've ever heard about these B+W tracks !

Funny, that crossed my mind too :joy: but then somehow I doubt it is all worked out that carefully. 10 am BST for a first teaser looked rather random and had no relation to sun/moon or anything EDIT: On the other hand, that would make it 4 pm BST next Fridsy, an ideal single time. Hmmm

And nothing it was.

Yeah same. Should be in one hour right?

Yes, that was annoying as hell. We all went to the 2017 shows again expecting there would be a changed setlist with the Kaleidoscope EP songs just as they did with Prospekt's March during the Viva tour, but nope. SJLT instead of Amazing Day and the rest of the songs either got played only once (AICTAIY, MSS) or once in a half-assed manner (Hypnotised) or not at all (ALIENS).

Bigger Stronger vs NMKMFOTG

Viva La Vida vs Such a Rush

Haha, I doubt it. Funny that you found this archive - Beat Club was the first German TV show dedicated to rock music back in the 60s/70s (way before my time :D) and many bands and musicians now considered to be legends played there.

Yep it stands for Open Graph, a web developer here confirmed it a couple of pages ago.

Viva La Vida vs HFTW

Aww thank you so much ! I feel like @AnaMarie was probably pointing out that they misspelled SJLT on the setlist :D

Violet Hill (yes, I'm a pessimist :D) vs Viva La Vida

They could put it as a second opener like in the Twisted Logic Tour though, or in the middle after an interlude like in the Viva Tour. That said, I'd love to attend a concert opened by Square One or Politik and closed by Fix You. But doubt I'll ever live to see that

I wish they had a more diverse setlist that included older album tracks and B-sides as well. During the AHFOD Tour some of us ran this project to get the band to perform I Ran Away: ...but of course nothing happened. The request feature, which was supposed to be for older songs, turned out to be a joke sadly as they mostly chose either In My Place or UATW or Don't Panic lol. But mostly In My Place :D I later learnt they didn't even fulfill Mat Whitecross' wish of performing Careful Where You Stand on the C-stage at one of the shows, and he has been their friend for 20 years, so our project was doomed to fail. I really don't know why they are so averse to performing old songs...

I still doubt that. Coldplay is a band that doesn't like looking at it's past. They hardly even perform old songs anymore or acknowledge that they exist LOL. They would never release an album of reworkings.

I agree. Will is a very good singer but his voice does not have the same intensity and depth as Chris's voice. I wouldn't mind him singing lead in one song at all, but for the overall album I would prefer Chris to stay the lead singer.

Things just got a little heated on Twitter and oh how I hate that. For the love of Coldplay please DO NOT bring this kind of fighting here. :heart:

That sentence was unfortunately part of the fake rumors that K. spread, but it does seem like they tried out different composition structures/pairings for this album.

Arcade Fire. I really like their debut album Funeral.

Your username reminds me of a lyric line from another band that somehow mirrors the hopes/loss of hope some of us have right now: "I thought i found a connector...it was just a reflector..." :)

Oh hey, I would have loved that :D

I don't think that was the teaser to be honest, cause the 30s Trouble in Town teaser was supposed to be on the website. Maybe we will get another bit tomorrow...on SUNday ?

Fool's Gold :D

Hey, have you checked out the Oldplaying thread I made ? I think you might like it ! https://www.coldplaying.com/forum/index.php?threads/the-ultimate-oldplaying-thread-s-bs-tbr-p-arobtth-x-y-vlv-pm.104785/ By the way this situation right now is giving me flashbacks to the Oldplay/Newplay battles in the LP7 thread, which was really ugly in parts. Let's all respect each other's opinions and not start something like that again.
