Fixed

You may have gathered that I'm the resident Richard Ashcroft groupie lol. Incase you're interested it was an amazing gig, on a par with Coldplay last December. After he sung Music Is Power he added another verse that went: Rooney is power, Let him play from the start, Cos Owen aint match fit, And Crouch is a star. Genius :D

It is all yelloooowww!!! (the fans around the ground)

Richard Ashcroft's coming home!!! Yay it's finally here, anybody else going to Old Trafford later to see the genius of Richard Ashcroft?! Akala is a bit of a surprise for support though, don't know how a rapper/urban artist will be received, good luck to him though :) If you aint going then get down there, tickets going for £15 for the best singer in the world as Chris said.

I've got a t-shirt, same style Richard Ashcroft has recently worn, for £16 - you can see it in this link: http://www.shaddersonline.com/page3.htm Let me know if you're interested - this is a unique design that not many people will have as it is custom made. Size is small male.

Richard Ashcroft tickets draw I've got 2 tickets for Richard Ashcroft at Old Trafford on 17th June, face value. I'm trying to get 35 people to pay £2 which will cover the cost of both tickets and I'll do a draw and whoever is drawn wins the tickets, and they only had to pay £2 for them - if you're interested then let me know and tell your friends also.

What do you mean upload a CD? Well, I know what that means, but what do you get free if you upload a CD?

I'm about to register with iTunes but I need to enter credit card details - does it actually cost anything to join, or are you only charged for the congs you buy?

Which parts do Chris and Guy play on the piano/keyboard in Speed Of Sound. Sometimes I see Chris playing everything, the intro and, well, everything. Other times I see Guy playing the intro and Chris playing other parts - I'm confused lol.

You can buy the X&Y Tour Edition here: http://www.hmv.com.au/product/rockpop.asp?sku=-968656 And The Hardest Part: http://www.hmv.com.au/product/singles.asp?sku=-967973 And they ship to the UK and USA, not sure of postage costs though.

2x Richard Ashcroft tickets, Manchester, face value I have 2 tikets to sell as 2 of my friends aren't able to go now, so would appreciate it if you could please buy them from me, and not See Tickets or Ticketmaster, otherwise I've wasted a lot of money lol. Please ask your friends also if they're interested. Oh yeah, on 17th June if you didn't know! Thanks.

I just did a random search on Google for 'parachutes'. Top of the results that came back was a link to amazon.com to buy the amazing album called Parachutes by Mr Berryman, Buckland, Champion and Martin, and the eighth result said the following: 'Square One Parachutes' So I click the link, http://www.square1.com/ , to find that it is the website of a company called Square One, who sell and service parachutes. Wow, incredible. Sorry if this has already been on here, but I just had to share this with you. Any other interesting google results that you've found while searching for Coldplay?

Yay that's very cool of you, thank you very much :)

Wow I didn't realise this thread had so many pages :P This is a weird request, but if anybody has any photos of Chris where you can actually see his shoes/trainers, or full length, can you please post them. If not then don't panic, I'll look through this magnificent archive.

Chris wears these doesn't he??? http://www.shoes.com/product.asp?p=1005179%7EMens%7CAthletic&variant_id=20762&partnerid=Nextag&CMP=OTC-Nextag http://www.shoes.com/product.asp?p=5001847%7EMens%7CAthletic&variant_id=06802&partnerid=Nextag&CMP=OTC-Nextag http://www.onlineshoes.com/productpage.asp?type=brand&brandid=29&brandcatid=234&gen=m&pcid=5845

It sounds like guitars are used, but it's actually the amazing Time Rice-Oxley on a digital piano with guitar sounds. Like when Richard Ashcroft sings Bittersweet and other tunes with strings, he sometimes has his pianist play the strings on the digital piano/keyboatd thingy. It's interesting how Keane actually started off with a guitar and how they gradually phased it out of the band to get the sound they were looking for. Although Coldplay Live 2003 is an excellent DVD I definitely recommend you investing in a copy of Keane: Strangers - I've only watched the 1st disc but so far it's amazing. They're comedic ways are up there with those of Mr. Martin.

Is anybody here going to SP's gig at Millenium Square, Leeds on 15th July???

Thanks Luigio :)

I've been on http://www.911tabs.com but when I select the piano tabs no links appear. Can somebody please post the links to the actual sheet music, or email them to me please? I'd be very grateful :)

Thank you very much for posting The Scientist backwards mp3. I've only just realised having listened to it that that's what is played at their gigs when they take pictures of the audience!!!

Sorry if this has already been asked, but which website can people in the UK order imports of The Hardest Part? I've searched on Amazon and Google but can't find any way of ordering it.

The Upper Room + Support Liverpool Barfly, £7, 8pm. Hopefully see you there. They're a great promising band from sunny Brighton - singles include All Over This Town & Black And White (released 8th May) - album released August hopefully. http://www.myspace.com/theupperroomspace http://www.theupperroomsite.com Check these sites out to listen to free tracks and watch their music videos. Please tell your friends, the band would really appreciate you being there and bringing mates along too. Are really cool guys and may even let you buy them a beverage after the gig! Other dates and venues available on the sites above.

Thanks an_cat :) A Bittersweet Symphony life most certainly is, whether you're a fan of Richard Ashcroft or not :) But music, and Coldplay in particular, and Fix You in particular again, have been more helpful than I could ever imagine. All of a sudden though, a lot of songs take on a completely different meaning to me. This isn't a sob story, just A Message to everyone that music IS power :)

Wow, that's such an incredible thing to do. My Mum died of cancer a couple of months ago and since then Fix You has meant even more to me, and I love it even more, so to have Fix You associated with Cancer Research will be very special. A song that means a lot to an awful of people :)

Never! wow I didn't realise. I thought it may have been played at least once. I guess that's the twisted logic of it all then isn't it.

Has Chris actually sung 'If somebody made it, someone will f**k it up', or is that just a clever signature I noticed on here?
