Of course, now we understand each other. I stopped worrying about how the world feels about my favorite bands, and I would like both (U2 and Coldplay) to stop worrying so much, too. Anyway, U2 has to understand that they will not release a number 1 single ever again because the world has changed so much (I ´m sure they release now Where the streets have no name and it would not be a huge success) but they are selling right now full stadiums all over the world, so… Their tours are still absolutely mainstream, although their new albums not that much. I ´m sorry If I jumped over you too fanaticly😂

Of course, but the context in which he said, in the middle of a concert… We ´ll see!

Well, there have been rumours flying around for months, I remember in the summer it looked like it was very close to be announced... It could be all gossip, but gossip sustained on Chris ´s words in the middle of a concert and some news saying "somebody told me...", for example about 10 nights at Madrid. But I understand what you mean, and it´s really strange that roadies where not informed or aware of the tour plans... If it happens, it must be with new music, at least an EP, they´re not the Rolling Stones (or Oasis😅).

I didn’t know about those contracts, can you explain a little more about it? My guess is that an EP is almost finished, and that ´s what they let some fans listen to some months ago. It will arrive around Christmas with the announcement of the last MOTS legs. Because all the rumours about residencies in England and Madrid, Chris´s words about how many concerts were left from the same tour… I don ´t believe it has all gone away, there ´s no reason for that to happen.

I ´m sorry but I can ´t let you go away with that… If you ´re talking about “The greatest show in the world” I disagree completely, and U2 fans are really pleased about the band releasing such an epic and not really comercial song as single. “Street of dreams” was horrible and lacked what makes U2 unique, “Silencio” was a good rock song (following Vertigo ´s path). About Coldplay, I agree, I would love them to go back to meaningful and properly worked lyrics, and going back to that basic and intimate sound from the first albums… but I ´m not really optimistic.

I was going to write something similar… about the final Coldplay album; it should arrive with a huge media campaign, to sell the idea that is the last one and back to basics and all that. But there is the possibility of it being published before the musical, and in my opinion that would be a less proper ending (even when I don ´t really believe it will be a real end).

Ok, I had it and I didn´t remember😂 Nice ballad, but not good enough to be in the album, in my opinion.

Where or how did you hear it?

Are you serious?

So they´re going to wait till the album is out (probably next spring, if so) to announce the tour dates? What do you think? In my opinion, very late for what every artist is getting us used to...

What about next year´s supposed-to-happen tour? In a few weeks we´ll get announcements from U2 and, possibly, Oasis... Is Coldplay going to compete with that? I don´t get why next legs are not already announced and sold.

Oh I completely forgot the ending with FLIFIL! In fact, it´s a song I didn´t like at all when it came out, and now it´s not close to my favourites, but I´ve changed the way I enjoy it for better. And I think the transition between Moon Music and this one is great. Anyway, four new songs it´s very few for a new album, if you´re an artist that believes in what you´re doing and not only in what you´ve done in the past.

Well, I guess we´re not the band´s target lately.

You´re forgetting We pray. But I agree, I´m hoping they change the tour soon so they can focus on their actual album as they´ve always done.

They maybe don´t need that... but it helps. And I would say it´s in their nature lately to do exactly that, get together with anyone they feel can add something to their music. Hopefully they would not, but the odds are not good.
