I can try to do the singing. I recorded a cover a while back and some people seemed to like it. Here's a sample of when Viva La Vida had those teaser songs when you moved your mouse over the glass ... this is the small part of Poppy Fields.

Wow thanks so much. I never hear that compliment to be honest. I've always been the victim of the saying, "Hey Eric, you are pretty good at guitar ... all you gotta do is find a singer and you'll have a band. You should start one." So I always shied away from singing. Thanks again for such a nice compliment. :)

Well, I kinda did this wrong. I totally forgot the album was coming out, so I went ahead and did a cover of Prospekt's March ... well, technically the Poppy Fields part. Then lo-and-behold the Spanish site had all of the songs and it had the full version, so the version you're hearing is just from what I could get from the little snippet they posted. Sometime I'll do the full cover. Also, I didn't use a capo ... I didn't notice this until someone posted the soundcheck and Chris had a capo ... but I tried my best. Anyways, hope you guys like it and try not to be too harsh ;) P.s. I have a new camera, so watch the video in high quality if you can ... I love how sharp everything becomes. I'm in the bathroom because it has a nice natural reverb. The rooms in my apartment aren't exactly "recording-friendly."

It's probably not so much that they use alternate tunings ... it's that they use really interesting chords. I came to that conclusion when I watched the soundcheck for Prospekt's March/Poppy Fields ... he just had a capo way up on the fret ... like 7th fret or something (video is a little blurry). That explains how he had that really bright sound to it. I figured it was a tuning similar to "See You Soon," because it had a lot of ringing notes in it.

Yeah I gotta agree with you on that one ... it seems the whole album has a certain tuning. There's no way that "Yes" is in standard tuning. Coldplay is known for having those elusive tunings. What I wonder, is how they come up with them? Even the new "Prospekt's March/Poppy Fields" track sounds like they are either using some very interesting chords, or using an alternate tuning. Anyone have any insight on this? Namely Kapone or Stephanbass?

Damn once again my mistake, you wanted the bass tab. Sorry about that.

K here goes: (Life in Technicolor) Intro riff: E------------------0------------------------2--2--0------- B-------------2--------------------------------------------- G--2--4--2-----------2---2----4---2-----------------2--- D------------------------------------------------------------ A------------------------------------------------------------ E------------------------------------------------------------ E-------------------0--------------------4---4---0---0------ B--------------2---------------------------------------------- G--2--4--2-------------2---2--4--2------------------------- D------------------------------------------------------------- A------------------------------------------------------------- E------------------------------------------------------------- Chords: A F#m, D, A Then there's a little variation around 1:55 where it goes to E after the progression. Then the "Oaaahohhhhh" F#m, D, C#m F#m, D, C#m F#m, D, A, F#m, E A

Here's a link for the lost chords: http://www.ittakes2.ca/chords.cfm Enjoy :)

Which contest is this? I've never heard of it.

I can give it a shot if you want.

I have a feeling Yellow is next.

Strawberry Swing.

My favourite solo coming up.

It's amazing how tight they are as a band ... starting to play again at the drop of a hat ... amazing.

Wow this song reminds me of living in an apartment in a different city ... good times there. So nice to hear this.

"messed it up again"

whoa the clapping

lmfao at the radiohead joke.

lmfao the phil collins bit

If I remember correctly I thought it was from something called, "Apollo" or something like that. I saw it on youtube a while back as well.

Where is it that you're getting the pics?

Lol I thought this was the Will Champion song ... I though, "whoa is his voice ever high." 'Till I realized it was Arcade Fire. :P

I love the fact that he double-tracked his vocals alot on the album ... such a cool sound.

LMAO Wikka wikka wild wild west!

Oh cool, Daylight.
