No. No. No. There is nothing more cliche than a love song.

Unfortunately, there's nothing coldplay can do. There's a rule about copyright infringement.. if it's changed by 10% it's not copyright infringement. This is sufficiently changed that Coldplay can do nothing and will not benefit.

As far as I know "the coldplay" is something that radio DJs seem to call them, I hear it OFTEN on the radio, but I've never heard it anywhere else.

Well I think looking at it from a totally literal point, the bear is trapped in its little enclosure and doesn't know where to go, which is compounded by the fact that it's surrounded by that vingette effect. I dunno how it relates to the song, though.

Seems to be a CD with a bonus disc of popular B-sides from the X&Y singles... I dunno, unless you want a really complete collection I don't see the point as you could prolly just buy the singles seperately.

What if would not be a good choice. It's a good song, but only for the really devoted coldplay fans.

Not as fond of proof. I just don't like the tune much.

Dammit. I was all excited about it being released on my birthday, too.

Gonna have to go with the fact that they haven't released an offical remix of white shadows. I could imagine a wicked club remix of that. (Or even better, a pendulum remix!) ...In fact, most of their tracks don't seem to be given official remix treatment.

I... uh... honestly (not to be mean) it's a bit dumb. Like... I don't see what the point of "Coldplaygle" is. Coldplay doesn't have... much to do with a search engine... and combining the two doesn't really result in a word that sounds anything like the original name of either product. Sorry :p

Here's a ripoff: http://cgi.ebay.com/INDIE-MOD-CASUAL-SKINNY-COLDPLAY-JACKET-M-vesPA-sCootEr_W0QQitemZ7757493520QQcategoryZ2997QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Chris martin's wardrobe for the X&Y tour was furnished by the nice collective. I wanna get my hands on some of that too, I have no idea where to get nice collective clothes.

Might clear some stuff up for you: The Johnny Cash thing is a bit obscure, but basically what happened was that Coldplay wrote the song "'Till Kingdom Come" for Johnny Cash to record. He died before he was able to get to the studio with the song, and Coldplay now does a little tribute in the middle of the show with 'Till Kingdom Come, followed by Ring of Fire. Hope that clears it up. As for swallowed in the sea, it's true. I don't think they play all of their music live there - the synthesis in most of the songs is controlled remotely, most likely by a computer off-stage. This covers things like the choir pads in "Clocks," the organy pad in "Swallowed in the Sea," the pads and clattery sounds in Square One... all that sorts of stuff. There's simply too much going in in Coldplay's music for just four bandmembers. As for X&Y and Twisted Logic... they're more downtempo, relaxed songs. Coldplay's live formula seems to be a more energetic set, and while the band wasn't at their peak during that show, for the most part their shows are really thundering, picking songs such as "God Put A Smile Upon Your Face" in favor of more relaxed tracks like Twisted Logic. Not saying they don't do ANY chill songs, I just think they go with the more popular ones like Swallowed in the Sea. Personally, I'd have liked to have heard some B-sides like Sleeping Sun or Things That I Don't Understand. And finally, the opening act bit. I'm not exactly sure of the reasoning behind why Coldplay needs an opening act, but when I was involved in club DJing, generally you'd put on a few unknown DJs first to get the crowd built up and allow latecomers a chance to shuffle in, as well as give the crowd time to settle down in their seats and buy the various merch items on sale in the lobby. Their concert just feels short, it's actually average length, especially for them. They really give it their all out there, and it's tiring work. They play 14-16 songs, I mean... Hope this cleared a bit up for you!

Still looking for the bootleg, but it won't be on the DVD. The DVD includes two shows that were taped in Toronto.

Almost all the tracks they play between the opening act and coldplay appear to be rap, though I definitely heard a beatles song thrown in there. Good stuff.

The live at the T performance I got really seems to have buttloads of energy in it, I love it to death. It's definitely available in the media section.

I think another thing to bear in mind about the single release is that The Hardest Part is not a typical coldplay song - it sounds a lot like REM to me, truthfully. I think they may have been trying to appeal to people who may not have given the typical coldplay sound a listen, but might still like the band if they hear something different. As for the reason it's not released on CD, Vinyl, Digital, etc., there really isn't much profit in singles, to be honest. It doesn't matter how many they sell in the end, they're sold at such a low price that the profit made is negligible - I mean, for the average person it could be quite a bit of money, but to the label it's probably not worth the effort of coordinating a release at this point, especially since Coldplay is winding down for a while.

I don't think anyone is seriously going to listen to a post like that.

This is one of the reasons I respect coldplay so much. They just have so much fun.

GOD they were awful. I'd blocked that out. I don't think ANYONE paid attention when they played.

When you play to a crowd of 30,000, you're commercial. I hate the stigma that's placed on being commercial - I say power to them, they play good music and they're getting filthy rich doing it! Just because they're commercial doesn't mean they don't care deeply about their music or they're a corporate band, but the fact is they are at the point where they've become a product that a big label pushes. This doesn't mean they've sold out - it's all beyond their control. Commercial simply means they have more resources and can make better produced CDs.

I dunno, I just don't think he's that good a performer. His music kinda bores me and I don't really care for his pointless ramblings in an effort to sound deep. Honestly, I would have been happy if he'd just gone up there, played a half-hour bittersweet symphony jam session and not told those dumb stories. I don't care about the casino, Rich, nor the child you met at it. Stop talking.

The song that was performed at the beginning of the rush of blood to the head tour was composed specifically for introducing coldplay onstage, I don't think it goes beyond what's heard. If you do want a copy of it, it's the intro to the live 2003 CD. I'm almost positive I heard this directly from the source, and I don't think the track has been released on its own.

This may be too literal an interpretation, but I always thought see you soon was about being on tour and being like, fawned over by lots of people, but constantly thinking of someone and wanting to see them. At least, that's what the chorus makes me think of.

Gotta say I wasn't impressed. Bittersweet symphony was powerful, but like... I dunno. That doesn't make up for all his rambling stupidity and attempts to sound deep. And that thing he shouted at the end of his set, "Donate your money to a children's charity, don't buy our CD!" What a phoned-in act of generousity. Total publicity stunt.

Richard Ashcroft doesn't shut up. He rambled on and on and on and on between songs in his incoherent british accent (which was made worse because I was higher up in the seats and was mostly hearing the reverb and stuff.) As far as I can tell (I'm sketchy on the details) someone in the crowd actually got fed up with him and screamed out for him to shut up, launching him on a tirade about how he never will. And then they played bittersweet symphony. If I'm wrong with this story, please tell me... I'm not quite sure -what- happened.
