cool! i'll add it too when i get home (myspace is blocked at school).

timbaland is a producer people. he's going to be behind the scenes producing a track(s), there isn't going to be any rapping.

can i interest you in a sense of humor then? i hear they're free. :rolleyes:

but radiohead doesn't go to latin america! :laugh4: awaiting news as well.....

but most bands don't have a say on where they tour. like you said it depends on their label and how much they sold where. they can't go to latvia or estonia if emi feels they have to spend more resources than they are gaining back in cd sales. it's mind boggling to me that there's people that dump all their disappointment on chris. i bet you credit their accomplishments to the entire band though, yeah? coldplay are four members, count 'em, 1 2 3 4. four. chris is the frontman and just like vocals, it's his job to be the face of the band. if chris does something, is because the band as a whole agrees. they all get paid equally. they should all be praised or hated equally.

what do you mean.. coldplay are the same now as they were in 1999. the latin america tour will debut new songs and therefore they will acknowledge fans, as you say. they didn't do that in the TL tour because venues are too large and they have gotten too big and people only go for yellow and the singles. have you been to one of their TL shows? i went to 3 in total and in every venue ppl sat down during 'how we see the world' and not many payed attention during the acoustic part of it. they are popular now and these ''fans'' have certain demands. it's not all the band's fault. i feel badly for chris, he takes the worst criticism for some reason. i imagine it must be tough to find a balance. but they fair well imo. =) and uh.. we've gotten very off topic!!:laugh3:

it's ok if you have your own definition to the meaning of an 'established artist'...but usually it's reffered to a popular artist that will sell well no matter what - good material/bad material. coldplay is established. and so is britney spears (though i don't know about now with her latest dumb antics! :laugh4:) chris played one new song in a small acoustic gig. they also played new material in their own tours in the parachutes days (and about 3 times during arobtth) when their venues weren't as large as now. you don't see the pattern? they have only debuted new music in their shows and when the venue is smaller than it is big. they are not going to debut anything in a festival. they have never done that. i don't really mind if coldplay released the worst song on x&y to stick it to emi. imo emi tries to use their popular bands when they are in a slump for cash, and more power to coldplay or any band that tries to fight agaisnt that. i didn't know alot about eno before, but i've heard tons of his stuff now and i love it. i can't wait :)

"established" means you can stand on your own. britney does suck but she still has a fan base and can stand on her own. it's nothing to do with quality of music. imo coldplay released the worst song off the album because they wanted to stick it to emi for being money hungry. it's also why they made it radio-single only, so it won't make the charts. also why the bsides being released now are in vinyl, imo. and i don't see how competitions would dissapoint any fans at all? and i don't see how this means coldplay has no control on their singles. if anything, it shows they do. live aid happened after x&y was released so my statements stands, no one promotes this early in advanced. they played fix you (and in my place and bittersweet symphony) and i don't see what's wrong with playing things from an upcoming album especially once it's released?? its pretty bad how you seem to only reach for the negative.... i understand you're dissapointed with the band, but wow. they are not that bad. i hope you feel better about them soon. and no hard feelings as well :)

well they are established. they have sold millions of albums now and was x&y not the biggest selling record in 2005? but i'm sure you might know that. have coldplay or emi personally came out and said the label chooses the singles? because really, i'd like to know where people get these infos from. it sucks that you don't see the cause for the event, but just because you don't like it doesn't mean you have to drag down the band. no one promotes an album so far in advanced. and i'd bet my left arm it won't be a new song played. coldplay has never, ever debuted new songs out in the open like that (not even in the TL tour) and what makes anyone think they are going to start now. notice how they will play new material in latin america, where the venues chosen are teeny in comparison. they aren't trying to promote anything. (i'm not trying to argue with you btw, i said your comment was obnoxious because that's what it sounded like.. because you don't know what they are playing and are being sarcastic acting like you do. but i apologize, either way.)

i just think people should wait - see what they play - see what they say - before throwing out bold statements like that. they could just be doing it because they believe in the cause, even if it doesn't help it. i walk 2 miles everyday to lose weight and does it help any? nope! :lol: but the effort is there. coldplay is an established band and hardly needs to 'promote' so far before their album drops in a little global warming gig no one is going to remember next year.

sry, but you sound obnoxious and so negative. what does a global warming benefit have to do with promoting the 4th album? you don't even know what they are going to play tos ay that. you obviously have a bad view on coldplay to reach for the negative like that, i don't understand how a goblal warming gig could be seen in such a bad light. sry. :(

nas? chris and his love for rap :laugh4:

i catched it!! :laugh4:

^it depends where we get the shirts from, too early to know prolly. producing in bulk is cheaper me thinks and we get the sizes in small, medium and large. we could ask (in a poll) what size ppl here wear and order more of one size or less depending on the poll. i'td also give a good idea on how many of us are interested. but it is true we would need someone to handle paying, maybe we could have ppl pay beforehand (paypal?) and then have them made, so that one person won't get stuck paying for everything if ppl don't come through. my 2 cents!

something like The CCC Presents... Style & Grace: Songs for Charity "style & grace" from GPASUYF if anyone didn't get the reference :D

Coldplaying for Coldplayers!! *hopes it's not obvious I just ripped off your title :lol:*

cool i look forward :D

Kevin Federline chat transcript I hate this guy :laugh3:

any updates?

what are the more and more things he's looking to do with other superstars? you forget chris has always been involved outside of coldplay this isn't the first time. he's recorded songs with ron sexsmith, the streets, bono, ash and was part of that bandaid band. he had a teeny role in that movie shaun of the dead and in an unreleased ash movie called slashed. many charity benefits as well. this isn't anything out of the ordinary.:thinking:

thom would be a hell of a lot better vocalist if you could actually understand what he's saying. his lyrics may be artistic and thoughtful but what good is that if you can't even understand them without reading the lyrics. it's so annoying. muse is a band that is similar to radiohead in style, and i can hear matt's words just fine. thom should take notes. i still love radiohead, thom wins as a better lyricist and chris as better singer.

nothing's wrong with x&y. it's just not parachutes and it's not arobtth. maybe people were expecting something along those lines.

god. youre not the only one that can express opinions here. if someone thinks emi sucks thats for them to think and you are nobody to be calling their opinions shit and pointless. i don't mean to start anything but your replies on some threads (and to me in another thread) are ridiculous. your horse sure is high.
