Apart from the Sportpaleis in Antwerp all the others seem to be available :uhoh: edit: I'm half believing it and half not (or better don't want to)..we will of course need to wait for any official announcement

Ian the link says Dec 17th, the date on the list is 7th :P

^ Awful venue in an awful city and in winter it's even worse :sick: I wouldn't be sad if it was torn down and rebuilt properly Just saw they would have a gap between January 7th and 14th..a bit of hope is still there

One date in Italy and 2198457673 in Germany, are they freaking kidding me? So much for always be at number one here, even now on iTunes with X&Y in the alternative album charts (and all the other three in the top ten) I really really hope that is fake, cause I would be seriously pissed off otherwise. Mediolanumforum in Milan is free on January 14th as of now, btw.

Megabump :P The sisters who were saved by Coldplay: They'd split up, then a phone call rescued indie duo The Pierces By Adrian Thrills Two years ago, The Pierces were at rock bottom. After singing together for a decade, sisters Catherine and Allison were ready to go their separate ways after their third album had struggled commercially. ‘We had a conversation about moving on,’ says blonde-haired Catherine, the younger of the pair. ‘We’d had some good times, but things weren’t working out. So we decided we’d just do solo stuff.’ But within 24 hours, there had been a dramatic U-turn. Guy Berryman, Coldplay’s bass player, called the New York-based siblings out of the blue and asked if they would join his band on a Latin American tour. ‘When they told me they’d split up, I had to do something,’ says Guy. ‘I’d always enjoyed their music, so I asked to hear some new material. ‘They sent me some songs played on scratchy acoustic guitars and I immediately fell in love with them.’ Now the Pierces are on the up. Their fourth album, You & I — overseen by the Coldplay man and his production partner Rik Simpson — has given them a major breakthrough, reaching No 4 in the UK albums chart in June. The band’s big asset is their wide-ranging appeal. The album — on which Fife-born Guy plays guitar, bass and keyboards — has roots in U.S. indie, but also has a Rumours-era Fleetwood Mac feel. Since the album’s release, the Pierces have played Glastonbury and T In The Park, and they recently shared a stage with Elton John. When I meet the duo and their producer at the iTunes Festival in London, the mood is upbeat. Allison, the dark-haired sister, is celebrating her 36th birthday — though the champagne was put on ice until after their performance. You & I was completed alongside the sessions for the forthcoming fifth studio album from Coldplay, due in October. ‘Making a Coldplay record is a long, structured process, so I don’t need to be in the studio all the time,’ says Guy. ‘I need to keep busy or I’d go crazy.’ ‘Guy made things fun,’ adds Catherine, 33. ‘Every time we’d been in a studio before, we’d viewed it as our last chance. 'This was different. Guy was a hard task master, but he got excited — and that made us excited.’ Born to Christian hippie parents in rural Alabama, they have been singing for as long as they can remember. They trained as ballet dancers, but their professional hopes were dashed when Catherine suffered a serious hip injury. They moved to Manhattan — where Catherine was briefly engaged to the Strokes’ guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. — and began releasing records. Their first two albums, a folky, self-titled debut and 2005’s Light Of The Moon were poorly received, but 2007’s quirky Thirteen Tales Of Love And Revenge was, at least, a critical success. After Berryman’s intervention, their music now has a much sharper focus. ‘A good harmony is the oldest trick in the pop book,’ says Guy. ‘It’s important to engage the listener and make them want to sing along. I’ve learned everything I know from making the Coldplay albums.’ ‘If you play our songs acoustically, they sound like ballads,’ adds Allison. ‘But, when you put a groove behind them, they really move. That’s something I noticed with the songs that Stevie Nicks wrote for Fleetwood Mac.’ Success here has helped the Pierces in America, too — they have recently landed a new U.S. record deal. But they are focusing on Britain for now. A new single, It Will Not Be Forgotten, is out on Monday, while they are playing this month’s V Festival before touring the UK in the autumn. For Berryman, the emphasis now returns to his day job and a Coldplay album that, on the evidence of the new numbers played at Glastonbury and the iTunes festival, is shaping up to be one of the year’s strongest. ‘The album isn’t quite done. It won’t be finished until people drag it out of our hands,’ he says. ‘But it is coming this year. We’ve taken the same approach as on our second album [A Rush Of Blood To The Head] and played a lot of the tracks live beforehand. ‘If you can work your way around a song before going into the studio, it helps to give things a freshness. 'That’s how you make great records.’ It Will Not Be Forgotten is out on Monday. The Pierces begin a UK tour on October 7.

What about people just stop reading what he says since they know it's bullshit? I mean, he is stupid, but people who keep following and believeing what that guy says are just as much

Thank you Evelien, so I should have the Canadian on its way soon. I was looking for the US one, I've checked both amazon.com and newburycomics (bought from them twice before), it would be $10.35 with the first and $9.98 with the second to Europe, and they should both sell the Capitol only version :) edit: stupid me I just saw you already posted the scans on your website

I think the weird picture angle is making Guy and Jonny look more skinny than they really are (or Chris and Will more buff, as you prefer). Look at the interview with Jimmy Kimmel I don't see such a difference here :shrug:

Does anyone have both the US and Canadian ETIAW singles and can post the back cover, just to see the difference? :)

Thank you Ian, they're gonna be soon in MM :awesome: edit: oh and great pics Jason, well done gotcheese (sorry don't know your name)

Mine was July 11th, 2005 at the Arena in Verona. Apparently it was the best venue they've ever played in (these are Guy's words), at least up to that moment. Highlight was Chris running up the huge steps of the venue, nearly killing himself, arriving at the top, sitting down and watching us sing the end of In My Place. Considering I've been following them since 2000, it took me quite a few years to see them the first time, but as a student I couldn't move as I wanted before.

ohhhh :surprised: A train trip could be in order, and if it's true Italy should be just before or after...and I'll be on holiday already :wacky: I'm just scared of massive snowfalls like the past year though :uhoh:

I listened to his last show at Absolute (or Virgin Radio as it used to be called) and he went all emotional with Fix You. It's not really my favourite song but his reaction made me smile, such a fanboy :P He better be interviewing them again for the new album :awesome:

I'm gonna use the sign me, Noelia and Sarah made two years ago (yeah, we were two days late, but that's not our fault if they didn't play NJ on his birthday :P)...which was also featured in a R#42 blog, and made Will smile :wacky:

I have my beloved Crests of Waves as ringtone, cut it to the right lenght for the iPhone, and Strawberry Swing as clock alarm, the right way to wake up to a new day (and that's not only my opninion, everyone else who listened to it told me it's perfect) :nice:

Be careful about what you write cause someone will come and say "but it's your choice to buy the song three times"

That pic of them smiling is :awesome: Thanks to whomever will scan it as it's gonna take ages till the September (wtf) issue it's available here :nice:

Why most of the times if someone says something bad about Coldplay it all comes down to jealousy? :facepalm: I don't really think this is the case, and I completely agree with what Mathieu has said in this thread.

Can this thread be any more off-topic? :lol:

Yes I remember that as well..maybe they're gonna write it also in the LP5 booklet, with the new additions :lol:

Claire, thanks for answering me, I in fact don't recall the last time it happened, I just know it's not the first and we can always go and see "old" pics and videos :) That's a pic I took the last one of Vanessa's post, such great memories from that day after the nightmare to get to Liverpool :nice:

You girls, why is this "taking off his jacket" thing so awesome? I mean, he played with short sleeve t-shirts in the past, nothing new :uhoh:

I want this as album title :awesome:

The sum of these two posts is: collectors don't enjoy music, they just think about money which they will never spend for gigs :rolleyes: I'm not a collector then :disappointed:

Major bump The album is out since the beginning of the week, and you can listen to it in full here :awesome: Video for the song Replica is here I'm happy he's receiving a lot of praise, I'm really liking it even though the album is not a milestone or something with a new sound, but he just did it fot fun because he couldn't stay at home doing nothing while The Killers were on hiatus :)
