It's a long and nice interview, and I believe I've never heard Guy speak so much in any Coldplay interview :thinking: Paula, can I add it to Guy's thread in MM? I seriously need to do a massive update to that thread :uhoh: There's also this hilarious video from the Sunday gig soundcheck, you could see how much fun they have working together :nice: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uY1AUuOyE24]YouTube - Apparatjik orchestra directors rehearsals Berlin March 27th[/ame]

Check MM :)

March 29, 2011 - submitted by Big Silly aka Mike, United States of America Q. So what's all the hullabaloo about with the boys pushing back the album release date? Is someone trying to calumniate against Coldplay or was there never a release date to begin with? Splish splash ahoy hoy and thanks The Oracle Replies: Once again it's all been based on hearsay Mike. The release date is and always has been tentatively planned for when it is actually is going to be. It hasn't been pushed back at all so it's quite baffling why these rumours start.

March 29, 2011 - submitted by Evelien, Belgium Q. Dearest Oracle, I heard that Mercury is going to stop releasing physical copies of singles. As a Coldplay collector, I must ask: will there come a day that I'll have to find a new hobby? The Oracle Replies: Maybe your hobby will be even more interesting given you may well be having to hunt down singles in the future? It's so sad to see the decision to stop manufacturing physical CD/vinyl singles but I guess Mercury did their homework and decided it wasn't cost effective to produce them. I'm of an age where I still do buy CDs - not always - and still love looking at artwork and reading sleevenotes etc. I own some vinyl from years gone by but alas do not own a record player. It's a sign of the times but one that I must slightly back-up... supply and demand is the biggest part of a commercial market; if there was a demand for physical singles, they'd survive. Let's start a "Buy singles" campaign! Love the question Evelien :nice:

yes, and until the other day I still wasn't 100% sure those songs were really his, but he confirmed it :nice:

One of them already did two songs for a Japanese movie :P anyway, I like the sound of it tbh :nice:

I really disliked Flamingo while I'm super excited about Ronnie's album, he's already beaten Brandon in my eyes by choosing a producer I love, Alan Moulder, against Stuart Price who I can't stand anymore. But I admit I'm a bit biased cause he's my favourite killer :awesome: As for the band not breaking up I suggest you read this interview from NME :nice:

I have a feeling the second album is not that far away, there's a snippet of another new song in this video as well, at around 2:45 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5b2SCjCEsA]YouTube - apparatjik[/ame] ..but we need to get to 1000 trees planted soon if we want new music, and we're still far away. Heeeeee I'm getting more and more excited to see them next weekend :wacky:

Is it bad that I'm not understanding anything about this UFO thing, who mentioned it and whatnot. People if you know what it is spill the beans and stop being such teasers :whip:

Alien Radio what? I think I'm lost :uhoh: The timeline comes up with nothing by default, and there's a star over 2008, that's all, coldplay.com hates me :disappointed: yess :awesome:

I don't see 2010 in the timeline, it stops at 2008 :thinking: ahahah yes, it's a bit like that :D

The Sun is lurking in here :uhoh: Yellow star sees red over 'c' word

You're welcome, your girlfriend is really lucky :D

The closest Ticketone outlet to where your friend is staying is CTS Viaggi Roma - Vittorio Emanuele Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, 297 00186 Roma google maps says it's a 12 minutes walk, and it's right in the center :nice:

I went there (I mean in Scotland, not T) last august and I was freezing my ass off, I swear I don't how you manage to go around in short sleeve with that temperature, I was dreaming the 30 °C they were having back home in Italy :blank: Other than that I loved it, especially Edinburgh :nice:

Bump I know it's still pretty early but I was wondering if there's any chance the account is going to be alive again with all the summer festivals as this year I might be able and would be glad to help :nice:

locust is back :awesome: Thanks for the info :nice:

I hope you meant Everything's Not Lost :P Forget about Crests of Waves, they are never gonna play it, what a shame :bigcry:

A little bit more than 2 years ago..what an awesome gig that was, wish I could turn back time and be there again :heart:

Yes it was Phil in Liverpool when he and Chris came down to talk to us after the soundcheck, and he also seemed to like the idea of Life is for Living (but Chris wasn't as much impressed of this suggestion) :)

Pare di si, mi fa un po' ridere però, l'anno scorso conferenza stampa con annuncio dell'80% dei gruppi il 23 Febbraio, quest'anno che il Festival è un mese prima gli unici ufficiali sono gli headliner :dozey:

Never seen this one before from that photoshoot, hope it wasn't posted before and sorry for the watermark

Sorry everyone for speaking in Italian Ho messo il link al tweet nel post, comunque cesarece Sara' Heineken Jammin' Festival per me & la mia band!!! 9 Giugno 2011. With Beady eye and Coldplay!!! Cheers!!! 11:42 AM Feb 18th via Twitter for BlackBerry® e ad un ragazzo che gli chiedeva conferma per i Beady Eye ha risposto cesarece @francericci si france ci saranno anche loro! 22 hours ago via Twitter for BlackBerry® in reply to francericci Sinceramente non so cosa stiano aspettando quelli di Live Nation ad annunciare gli altri gruppi/cantanti :shrug:

They started playing In My Place in October 2000, God Put A Smile and A Rush of Blood in April 2001, so I still don't see why they can't play new songs unless they release an album before the festivals :shrug: And with this I think I made my point of view clear enough so I won't answer anymore :escaping:

I love them too and as much as I would like an album before the summer festivals, I can totally understand if they still need a bit of time to make it how they really want it to be before giving it to us, I don't really want them to feel again like after X&Y. As someone else pointed out they already did the same before releasing A Rush of Blood to the Head, they played a few new songs during some shows, Glastonbury included, why can't they do it this time? :thinking: I don't see anything wrong about playing new songs before the release, a lot of bands do it, U2 did it as well last summer and the new album is coming out this year.
