Just watching this video: Is it just me or has Guy had some work done to the top row of his teeth? They look slightly too large for his mouth. Never noticed this before. Maybe he had an accident?

Have searched on the forum and it doesn't look like anyone has mentioned this yet (sorry in advance if someone has!). Rescue Street. Hear Chris talk about it very briefly in this video: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7ER5QMuAuQ]Interview: Coldplay (Part Two) - YouTube[/ame] Chris says it "sounded horrific".

Coldplay's first website? Just found this: http://www.angelfire.com/ne/coldplay/index.html I know it says it's a fansite but it appears to give Phil's actual email address on the Contacts page. It also mentions a couple of new song titles (Waiting In Line and The Blue Room). Is Claire Smith someone who works with the band? Or used to?

During a Radio 1 documentary on the early years of the band Chris spoke about a time that him and Will went busking when they were students and they played a couple of Simon & Garfunkel songs before being moved along. Chris has also mentioned that the opening line of Violet Hill was written during his time at UCL. Anyway, I was listening to I Am a Rock by Simon & Garfunkel today and noticed that the opening lyrics are quite similar to Violet Hill's. "A winter's day, in a deep and dark December/I am alone, gazing from my window to the streets below/On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow" "Was a long and dark December/From the rooftops I remember/There was snow/White snow/Clearly I remember/From the windows they were watching/While we froze down below" Looks like he was inspired...

Running Man is Charlie Brown. That's my hunch.

THEY MADE THE PYRAMID STAGE CHANGE COLOUR. That is all.

I have to say, I find Sparks to be quite a boring song. Fucking love Teardrop.

Cheers, sounds amazing!

I think I'm coming at it from a completely different angle to a few people on this thread. Where Coldplay started from was less my kind of music (I hardly ever listen to Parachutes or AROBTTH) but I love Viva la Vida and ETIAW. Can't wait for the album.

By doing this I don't think Coldplay are saying they are against the Israeli people, I think they are saying they are against the actions of the Israeli government. I think they're right in doing this.

Don't you think the source you referenced might be slightly biased?

I'm sorry, but I fully support Coldplay doing this. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/may/31/israel-pr-victory-images-war

Not sure if this has been said already but ... On the Xfm X-posure interview- broadcast around the release of Viva- just after Yes has been played Guy describes the strings at the start of the song as "Arabesque" and Chris says something like "nice pointer to the future, Guy, I like what you've done there" (I don't have the interview to hand, maybe someone who has can check?) Elsewhere in the interview Chris says that when they've finished making an album they are quite sure of where they want to go next, so putting two and two together (and that more recent interview where Chris said he wanted to record in Asia) maybe LP5 will have more of an Eastern feel?

I think the lyrics to 42 are quite interesting. Certainly better than pre-VLV.

? You are a dark person.
