There was a thread already in this same page :) http://coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=88657 for a moment I thought it was June 11th, I will never get used to the way you americans write the dates, it's...weird :uhoh:

I can post the one in Italian, but I don't think you would understand a thing. Apart from the competition to win a signed album there's nothing we don't already know, it's just a news round up.

Thank you Chelsea :nice: I have a feeling it's gonna get crowded soon with various radio apperances in the UK and other promo gigs.

Everytime I read a tweet/news I hope for at least some promo in Italy..in vain, it's frustrating :disappointed:

bump did you guys in Spain hear anything about the gig being broadcasted on tv? :uhoh:

When I saw Norwich I thought of Chelsea too :disappointed:

Saw a tweet mentioning The Hardest Part..probably the piano version they used to play on the Viva tour AshaRanchhod: Omg They are playing my song #hardestpart #coldplay

It seems they're having problems with the sound tonight as well :uhoh: PaulusNel: #Coldplay WTF is wrong with the sound? Nikkkiwe: Is it just me or is the sound at this concert absolutely awful? #coldplay #fnbStadium #dissappointed ross_o: Umm... I'm sitting in the stands and can't hear anything? #Coldplay Caro_Erasmus: Ok...either this entire audience is classified as 'the hearing impaired', or the sound at #Coldplay is inexcusably shit :S Guy_O82: Shit sound at #coldplay concert, thanks #bigconcerts LouisLaurie: At #Coldplay concert. Sound's terrible in the stand area. Speakers up here seems disconnected There are more :\

Do you have pending for the order or the delivery? Mine says completed for the order (which means they probably verified I have enough money on my credit card) and pending for the delivery. Other than this, if you received a confirmation email I wouldn't worry

As far as I know...no, at least from the third tier and because they have to keep the volume lower than other stadiums since the people living in the surrounding area keep protesting about gigs held there :dozey: I've always been in the pit, both in San Siro and the Olimpico, and never had problems with the sound, but after all these stadiums were not built for concerts purposes, there will be acoustic problems in some areas whatever they do to avoid them :shrug:

This and Jen if I remember correctly (apologize if I'm wrong) weren't you the one who took pictures of him while in the pool in Buenos Aires and came posting them here? I don't see how this picture is "worse" from the point of view of his privacy, he was just changing in the car after the end of the show :wink:

It's been a long time since the fangirl in me posted but holy hell, this is the right time :wacky: Thank you Mich and Tash :kiss: /fangirl

love this rating :wacky:

They had two for Violet Hill as well no I'm not saying it's gonna be the same again :P

..and this means no arena date for us, I'm kinda disappointed by their touring decisions so far and June is soooo far away :disappointed: That said I knew they were going to play there this time around, and as much as I hate Milan and the fact that it is a stadium and not a smaller gig, every gig I saw there (only U2, three times) was amazing not only because of the band performing, but because of the way the stadium is shaped it makes the audience choruses resonate even more, it just takes your breath away. I can provide proof about this :P

If no one does, I'll do it when I get home from work :)

Guess so, they did the same in Barcelona in 2008, official press conference and gig afterwards, I was there and it was such an amazing experience after waiting nearly 3 years to see them again. They really love Spain, at least that's something since there's no tour date for you guys yet, hope some of you Spanish fans can go :nice:

If you're having problems watching with youtube (I know I always have when I come to China), check the thread for this in multimedia :nice:

Drive 9/10 Nicolas Winding Refn direction is oscar-worthy, and the soundtrack is great..I didn't even mind the uber violent scenes that much (I usually do :P)

They're giving away 2 VIP tickets to this, plus hotel for two nights, plus a return flight Sofia-Madrid as far as I could understand with my non-existent bulgarian :P Maybe other radios will follow with tickets give away

Someone needs to record Mich and Anna's speech when this will be on tv :awesome: Well done guys, really happy for you, especially Ian and Jen :nice:

This is MX review The concept is as old as the world. A boy and a girl loving each other. But Chris Martin goes wild A boy meets a girl, they fall in love and fight to be together. The oldest story in the world is also the concept on the basis of Mylo Xyloto (read the interview to understand the meaning), the fifth album by Coldplay, the follow up to Viva la Vida.., the 2008 best selling album in the world. But luckily concept doesn't mean prog, even though MX is an important progression from their past records. Far from enoxified U2, they got close to the triumphant Arcade Fire rock, showing they listened to bands like Vampire Weekend [in Major Minus] and the immortal Talking Heads. Their inspiration comes also from unexpected places, such as the '90 dance music. Trying to find a sample able to convey euphoria in Every Teardrop.., they tought about the hit song by the house band Sacados [El Ritmo de la Noche - who's over 35 knows them well], which was stolen from the '70 singer Peter Allen. And even though the lyrics go in the opposite direction [the lack of an aim in life, drug addiction, a degrading job that wears out your soul] music is euphoric, pure adolescence ecstasy looking at the stars, fists in the pockets and deep sighs. And it's incredible how in Martin & Co's hands a song about alienation such as Every Teardrop.. becomes a life saving hymn. MX lives on the contrast between sadness/euphoria througout, so Hurts Like Heaven is able to put Arcade Fire, non-dark-coloured Cure and mystic U2 (Unforgettable Fire) in the same melodic line. Charlie Brown is the hit Arcade Fire will never have (bet it's gonna be the single after Paradise). And Us Against the World is the bittersweet romantic ballad that the album couldn't miss. MX is a bomb: just give it time and it will tick in your heart. P.S. Patrizio non tu stavi finendo l'articolo vero, io non ci vedo una mazza dagli scan quindi te li cedo Oh and I might add the adjective for Guy is better translated with hot not cool (italian lesson figo=hot) :P

I am still surprised they even called it a European tour when bascially 3/4 of Europe has been left out, they should have called it North-Western EU Tour :nod: ..and this makes me want to play with google maps again :wacky: edit

I loved that video ad so much, but I've come to the conclusion that a full length video like that wouldn't have been the same, I feel as if the shortness of it all and the part of the song used makes it more powerful or maybe I'm just blabbering :P that said I would have preferred it to the official one for sure :nod:

I can understand, but if you were in our shoes (try to think as non UKer because they play there for sure) would you sit and wait to see if by mistake and who-knows-when they're going to announce a date in your country or try to go abroad and see them in their hometown while you can?
