Yeah same here actually. I constantly see them come up in conversations on this forum and now I'm kinda curious...maybe I need to add "taste a Jaffa cake" on my life's to-do list :P P.S. I still think about the project :) what an awesome accomplishment!

Haha seriously Chris!! There's a part in the 'Violet Hill' video too where he bobs his head back and forth and he's blocking Guy's view. I think it's the part where he sings "I don't wanna be a soldier or the captain of some sinking ship with stones..." Maybe Chris does it on purpose because Guy is going supernova with his handsomeness. ;)

oooh this takes me back too :)

wooooooo :dance: lol

oooh man any moment now.....:dance:

:dance::dance::dance:

LOL the guys on this reality show are amusing. "this isn't TV for me this is real f***in life!" :laugh3:

oh i know I'm still excited :) hehe

woooo this is excitiiiiing!! :D

awesome :) can't wait to watch it here!

If they come to Montreal I would definitely go (easier for me to get there lol). I wouldn't mind an Ottawa stop either. We have a stadium called Frank Clair and the Rolling Stones came to play there one summer...but I somehow doubt Coldplay will do the same :P

Hmm I'm tempted to ask the oracle if it foresees other canadian tour dates...seems kind of a drag if they're only making one stop.

hooray!! :D Holy cow it's huge!

LOL that's an awesome picture!

congrats on the centennial post! :P :)

At this point, I doubt the tickets will go on sale tomorrow. It would be really spontaneous of the band and LiveNation to spring the sale on us without sufficient notice. My guess is that: they'll announce the gig tomorrow and then start the sale sometime next week.

Oh that's great! At least you've heard SOMETHING lol. Will be watching coldplay.com ;) Thanks for the tip!

Wow I'm clearly not with the times...I've never heard of Lips! :P But great for the CP songs being released. :)

hehe agreed :D

Haha yeah I just caught that. I started a thread :P and then just after I posted, I found this poll...oops! Anyway yeah wasn't impressed with the cover. He could have still done a Coldplay song if he wanted...just not Viva La Vida. It's too epic and only Coldplay can pull off that epicness:D:D:D:D

Hey all, I happened to catch an American Idol contestant perform 'Viva La Vida' just a moment ago on TV ...it wasn't that great lol. Obviously no one does it better than Coldplay and this guy is no Chris Martin. He can sing but that song has a certain degree of epic-ness that he just didn't achieve. Simon also implied that Coldplay was pop, which I sorta disagree with but maybe he was just referring to the song. Anyway, just thought I'd share :). If it pops up on Youtube I'll post the link. Oh P.S. sorry if I've posted in the wrong place :P Please feel free to move the thread in a more suitable spot

Yeah I must say I'm a little bit nervous that nothing's been announced yet. :confused:

Preeecisely! :D

Preeecisely! :D

"So you met up with Phil? I did. We had a chat and it sounded like they wanted something in the style of what I'd done before, with my kind of silly humour. They were originally going to release a song called Glass Of Water, so that was the one I came up with an idea for. But that idea turned out to be too expensive and would've involved the band, which was looking really tricky because they were on tour." I knew it!!! lol it's too bad they were touring they should've released 'Glass of Water' as a single. "There's been some talk about Guy's puppet. Yeah, nobody thinks it looks like him, do they? That is absolutely fair. But it is supposed to be a caricature in a Punch and Judy style. And somehow I thought Guy, of all the band, looked most like Mr Punch. So I exaggerated it and gave him this massive hooked nose, weird eyes and a leering grin. I found it funny that we'd made the most good looking one the least good looking puppet." Sorry for not being familiar with Punch and Judy , but it's just as he said: they were going for a bit of irony. Everyone knows Guy is the most handsome person in the band so they made his puppet the opposite. "Who did the puppeteering? These guys called Jonny and Will and a friend of theirs called Martin. And another friend of theirs whose name I can't remember. Um, Guy? Ha! No, it wasn't the band, despite the names." Dammit!! lol I thought that would've been so cool...I think I even mentioned that way back "Is there any reason Jonny isn't in the helicopter? If that was a Beatles video, people would think it meant he's dead or leaving the band, or something. No, there was no meaning to that whatsoever. It's just that the helicopter was quite small inside and the puppets were quite big. We had to pull their legs off to get them into the helicopter and even then we could still only fit three in with the roadie. When we tried to put all four in, they were so crushed, they didn't look alive any more. So as it's only a very short shot, we thought nobody would notice if we left one out. But why Jonny? I think it was probably because he was the one that was flopping forward at the time, because he didn't have enough Blu-Tack on his torso. So I'm afraid I just pulled him out." Aww poor Jonny....they should've had him riding on a rope ladder attached to the helicopter or something....you know, so that the rest of us wouldn't think he's missing! :P. I'm sorry but it's a little obvious he wasn't there...he's the only one with a hat!
