Fixed

I just worry that the guys are totally tired out from all this touring. I know it's their job, but it seems like they've done so much promotion and touring for X&Y that they must surely be knackered and need some time to chill. Great news though that the new album is coming on really well.

Which hidden messages? I don't mind the band taking time off, they've been touring X&Y for practically 2005, 2006 and the start of 2007 - I'd want a break too lol.

Yeah I just found the Don't Panic video in 2001 and some photos from the Round Chapel gig in 2005 and a note from Guy! Whoop!

I need to rip some video off the CNN video website, what is the best software to use for this?

Coldplay were rumoured to be performing at Live Earth due to the great amount of work they do for charity and good causes. However they will not be performing, they're having a well-earned rest and keeping out of the media spotlight while they work on what is going to be one of the greatest albums of all time.

Thanks for that, just that I'm thinking of getting 1 just for ID purposes, but wanna make sure it don't only last a year cos they're about £45, but if it's 12 yrs that'll be fine.

Do Provisional Driving Licences in the UK have an expiry date, and do I have to have my first lesson within a certain number of months of getting the licence?

Embrace: Dry Kids - B-Sides - 1997-2005 Embrace: Fireworks - Singles - 1997-2002 Leftfield: Rhythm and Stealth (Will said he liked these a few years ago so I thought I'd investigate)

Still don't believe it? Have a listen to this: http://rapidshare.com/files/39618967/whiley_tue.mp3 Also check out Richard Ashcroft's new site which is being redeveloped: http://www.richardashcroft.com and join the forum And also: http://www.the-verve.info http://www.the-verve.info/forum/index.php WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!

Yeah I looked around the US and the prices are really good, it's just that the shipping bumps the price up.

They're A Custom Hats I've found on ebay.

Thanks for your advice people. I found some used Zildjian A Customs on ebay for £160, I'm tempted by those. I'm also looking at the Sabian HHX Groove hats too, the ones used by Richard Hughes from Keane. I know I don't the exact same ones but I'm a geek lol.

Are the Z hats good quality then I take it?

In the original equipment list that Debs provided on Coldplay.com, Will uses the Zildjian 14" A Custom Hi-Hats, but in photos I've seen he has the K Custom instead, did he just recently switch for the X&Y sessions does anyone know, and is there much difference in sound? I'm shopping around for good quality hats and was wondering what the difference is.

I don't think it's a case of needing to pay bills, all 5 have been working most of the time since 1997. One of the biggest U-Turns ever, as Richard was adamant that they'd probably never get back together, crikey!!! Wonder what songs will be on the tour then, new stuff, or all the classics just to help raise awareness?

More info on Richard Ashcroft's forum here: http://forums.richardashcroft.com/viewtopic.php?t=3148 From that forum topic it looks pretty conclusive - real music is making a comeback...

I didn't believe either, but after visiting the site I'm starting to think it is true, yaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE VERVE RE-UNITE AFTER 10 YEARS!!!!!!! http://www.theverve.tv I can't believe what Jo Whiley just said on Radio 1... THE VERVE HAVE GOT BACK TOGETHER AND ARE WORKING ON THEIR NEXT ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Embrace

What exactly is wrong? Then we can pinpoint songs that'll work even better for you :) These are just songs that make you feel good inside, well me, anyway: Keane - Nothing In My Way (one to nod your head to) Snow Patrol - How To Be Dead (not as depressing as the title suggests) Travis - All I Wanna Do Is Rock Sigur Ros - Hoppipolla (how's your Icelandic?!) Coldplay - Yellow (goes without saying) REM - Shiny Happy People Puressence - This Feeling Embrace - anything, they all have the happy, sing-a-long-ability that you need to feel better.

lol yeah, I don't wanna be greedy now do I.

Thank you :) I could try ebay but the ones on there are going for around £30, I was hoping to get a little bit more for them, but I'll give it a go if it looks like that'll be my best option.

What a great video, can anybody understand exactly everything Chris says? I can only make out "The real hero of Coldplay", what a cool kiss too, top notch lol. Does anybody else have a Chris and Jonny stylee cuddle and kiss type of relationship which doesn't extend to the bedroom, that must be a great thing to have lol.

It's amazing what a bit of stubble can do.

This sounds like it's going to be a real humm-dinger of an album.
