I ran away

Awesome ! Thanks for traveling there. Read this article, it says there may be other locations after Fort Worli ! http://www.mid-day.com/articles/coldplay-shoots-a-video-and-plays-holi-with-kids-in-worli/16523183 Is there an Indian Coldplaying community fansite where maybe you could get details as to their current whereabouts ? bet some of the people involved in the shoots are on the web, too !

Really ? You should give it a try ! But in the meantime...here's a riddle: A paradox/cognitive dissonance unto itself

If the info is correct, our forum lookout going to Mumbai by train should keep looking at other locations than Worli too, if they filmparts of the video all around the city ! And there is a chance for more photos and info tmr then... :D

Exactly what I'm thinking !

temple as in temple of a head ? A Rush of Blood to the Head ?

I doubt we'll get something as soon as tmr. Officially of course not, since a music video needs time for cutting, postproduction etc. And if the Indian people involved did not post anything today, for whatever reason, why should they do so tomorrow ?

Actually the version I like most is the one in the Brothers and Sisters EP. But all of them are actually fine ! :) How I'd love to have that cassette....

Yeah, I'd go for double elimnations in the first 3 rounds only.

Hmm, you could be right. Unless it relates to ghosts. A Ghost ? Death and all his friends ?

Thanks !

Can anyone understand what Chris is saying into the mic in that 3 second video snippet shared earlier ?

Seems no one has a clue. Can you give a hint, maybe ? :)

If they don't begin with a song number higher than 888 they are old songs which got scrapped and never made it to any record.

I didn't say I didn't like you before, all I said was that I like you MORE now :P about the lyrics, not sure....

and that you cannot explaiiiin

These 7 words just made me like you a lot, lot, lot more. Seriously !!! :D I like Low because of the lyrics and the spoon solo :) I'll pick How you see the world, somehow it's the song I like least from this great Era.

That was one epic thread ! Well-deserved two winners ! Now on to the next battle, which probaby won't be easier !

Dear fellows, I wanted to create an own thread for all those who love the earlier Coldplay stuff more than their newer stuff. A thread in which we can appreciate the pureness and beauty of their early releases, discuss them, discuss the band and how they used to be, post early live or studio stuff for each other to hear or watch and just indulge in that unique early Coldplay atmosphere which many of us miss so much. In short, this place is for getting a little bit nostalgic ! I'd roughly say the timeframe discussed here is 1998 till 2008, so it includes VLVODAAHF which is not really Oldplay to me, but I know for many of us Oldplayers it was the last record we really loved, so I thought let's include it. Here's to Safety, Bigger Stronger, The Blue Room, Parachutes, A Rush Of Blood To The Head, X&Y and Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends! Also, here's to the much-beloved brilliant B-sides of those Eras ! :parachutes: :arobtth: :x&y: :viva: To kick it off, here is the alternative version of Brothers and Sisters from the Trouble record, enjoy !

I doubt we'll hear Lamhein as an AHFOS song is probably an Indian song sampling MX, as explained above... I wanted to say something about "Anything is possible". Curiously, it did not appear for the first time at the end of the True Love video. In fact, Chris has used this saying already during concerts as early as 2003. You can for instance hear him saying it in the uncut version of Live 2003 (available in the multimedia section).

I hope AHFOD tour concerts will not involve Holi-style paint thrown into the crowd. If I go there I want to focus on the music and not get bucketfuls of paint in my eye and lungs.

And I can't wait for the X&Y game to begin !

Yes !!! Option 3 !!!

You know the Oldplayer is by nature an emotional creature and prone to instant melancholy, don't you ? :D

and has anyone else noted the resemblance to Google's new tab icon, introduced some days ago ? (colour wheels seem to be trending ;))

I know, but Chris has notably been wearing it in private and public during the GS Era (and not during previous ones), that's what I meant.
