No, it never helps to argue with such wankers, agreed. I'm just saying that in my opinion, in those pictures Gwyneth does look overwhelmed to see the photographers, and that although Chris overreacted and also acted inappropriately, he acted out of feelings of love and protection towards her. It just seems to me that something bad happened to them; otherwise her publicist would have just said that Gwyneth was in the hospital for a stomach ailment, not "a very personal matter." So, taking all things into consideration, my point is simply that Chris acted like an imperfect human, but it doesn't take a Chris or Coldplay fanatic to see that. What he did was wrong but understandable under the circumstances of being photographed while checking out of a hospital, not out of a restaurant, etc. I think that's why he said "show some respect." It's like being photographed at a funeral or some other personal, emotionally hard experience. There are times these photographers should indeed show some respect and back off--and this time was one of them. And I agree with the sentiment that the photographers baited Chris on purpose. "Congratulations, Chris" when no one is sure what was going on? Come on. The whole situation just sucks, and I just hope both Chris and Gwyneth are now OK and in the process of putting all this behind them. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. Obviously no one is changing your mind, and you're not changing ours. :thinking:

OK, not to rain on your parade or anything, but it doesn't take a Coldplay "fanatic" to defend Chris on this one. His behavior may not have been appropriate, but it is understandable. Use your commen sense. Pregnancy rumors. Sudden hospitalization for a short period. Gwyneth looking frail and distraught at the start of this video that shows her leaving the hospital. Unfortunately, it seems that the miscarriage rumors may be true, and that is what Chris was defending his wife from--invasive photographers at a horrible time in their lives. I have no idea if you are old enough to understand, but going through a miscarriage is a very emotional experience. And, even if it was some other medical situation, the fact that Chris wanted his wife to be left alone during her discharge from the hospital is certainly understandable. Haven't you ever gotten really pissed off at some idiot who was being completely unsympathetic to your emotional trauma? I have, but I don't have people following me around filming it and then posting it on YouTube after selling it to gossip shows. The jerk at the hospital who tipped off the gossip rags to Gwyneth's admission to begin with should be real proud of him or herself. It may not be a shining moment that Chris or his fans are necessarily proud of, but if you are human, it seems pretty easy to understand the emotion behind his behavior. And I don't believe you have to be a Coldplay fanatic to have that understanding. Chris didn't want his wife any more upset than she already was. He loves his wife, and he defended her right to some privacy during a difficult time. "Have some respect." Rather says it all for me. I'm only sad to know that they seem to be going through a hard time right now.

:cry: Hate to hear such sad news........ And it must be so hard to be photographed at such a time....... I feel bad for Chris.........

Ditto! This is the best news I've read in a long time! :sunny:

Barb expressed how I am feeling also as I read this terrible news. Our shared experience in Philly was one I will always treasure. I wish I could give you a real hug, but a cyberhug will have to do. Losing a child is a parent's worst nightmare. I am devasted to hear about your loss. Love, Pam from NC

Agree! It feels like the "old" Coldplay....... :)

:D Great news! Can't wait to see the new site!

I somewhat see why people say these sort of things, but I refuse to jump on the haters bandwagon. I adore Chris Martin and all the members of Coldplay. Love their music and them, and although X&Y may not have been the genius that AROBTHH was, I have faith that the future holds many gems from Coldplay. Let Chris and the band have some time to adjust to their fame. Chris also has to learn how to deal with the fame of his wife and everything that goes with that. He may not be handling it all too well right now at times, and maybe he can come off as big-headed prick, or whatever it is that fans are negatively reacting to. But, I still want to have faith that all will turn out OK over time. I'm sure the other guys give Chris a kick in the ass when he needs it! Coldplay and Chris have enough critics! Keep the faith!

That pretty much sums up how I feel. It bothers me when fans are so hard on Chris. He has a wonderful life, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have bad days or that he won't somehow manage to say totally the wrong thing at least once a week! He obviously has a sense of humor that sometimes doesn't come across all that well; fans just need to accept that IMO. He seems like a nice enough person to me, and he does shoulder much more of the "frontman" responsibility than the other band members do. So, we're going to see many more of his bad moments than the other Coldplay musicians. It just seems unfair that many fans think he's changed so much, in a negative way, since his marriage and the success of AROBTTH. Like all of us, he is evolving some as he grows older, but he's still the same Chris everyone used to like underneath. Those are my thoughts on the subject, anyway. I like Chris alot, and it makes me sad when I read how quite a few fans don't any more. Gossip writers and the *&^! Rolling Stone love to be negative about Chris and his wife. Maybe that negativity is just becoming accepted as reality, when it actually isn't 100% accurate?

I'd like to be included too!

I love all of those songs! I can't vote! After A Warning Sign leaves the list, it is IMPOSSIBLE to choose!! :(

Most lyrics posted do read "put yourself in the band," but here's a different version for you (though I don't know which version is correct!) One I Love Coldplay (In My Place Single) Could you, could you come back? Come back together Put yourself on my back And say its forever Could you, could you come on? Come on forever Shoulders, knees in my back Keep us together 'Cause you're the one I love You're the one I love You're the one I love Could you, could you come in? Could you tell me forever? Tie youself to a mast It's now or it's never Could it tear us apart? Tell me forever It's gonna tear us apart Keep us together You're the one I love (x6) http://www.elyrics4u.com/o/one_i_love_coldplay.htm

It's a little confusing, but it is free to sign the petition. You will be asked to make a donation after signing though, but you don't have to donate to have your signature counted.

Signed and keeping my fingers crossed that this petition works.....maybe.....somehow......hopefully. :\

No details have been announced yet for any country for the televised event. We're all still waiting.............

Feels more like punishment than a joke to me...........

Well, I don't know how to copy and paste from the Q&A section of the Coldplay site, but today someone asked if it was true that there would be no DVD and that the Toronto footage was going to be televised only, and Debs answered that it was true that there was no DVD. So, Debs has been asked and she has answered again. And now she remains quite clear and consistent that there is no Twisted Logic tour DVD. sigh......

Jonny's birthday will be a bittersweet anniversary for me! I was at the Raleigh, NC concert last year and we got to sing Happy Birthday to him. He looked so embarrassed! Such a sweetie! Can't believe it's been a year since my first Twisted Logic concert.....

Anyway, sorry guys if you've missed it here, in other threads, news and Q&A but..... there's no DVD. _________________ "There's no DVD" directly from Debs Wild just does not leave hardly a sliver of hope that there will ever be one, IMO. Also, other people on the Coldplay forum have posted that they have PM'd Debs asking for an explanation, and her reply has been that a corporation does not have to give a reason for changing its mind. I'm sorry, but, why are you guys not believing what Debs herself posted?

AHHHHHHH! Why me, why no DVD, why, why, why Coldplay?? Then runs screaming outside in the face of Tropical Storm Ernesto and gets blown away, never to be heard from again!! :stunned: :speechless: :toilet: :bigcry: :dead:

The thread where Debs FINALLY says "no DVD" on the Coldplay message board is LOCKED! Unf*ckingbelievable! If they're going to disappoint their fans, then they can damn well listen to/ read the reaction! Chicken shits! :angry:

:cry: *&^%$#@! (fill in swear word of your choice)

Understand completely where you are coming from! I have my fingers crossed too! :kiss:

From Q&A 29.08.06: Q: "Will Coldplay record a 4th album?" A: " Yes they will." Now THAT'S the sort of answer I'm talking about!! ;)
