if that's the last thing you look at, i'm sure you'll have sweeeeet dreams!!!:wink3: (heck i was all grumpy and seeing that pic lifted my mood!)

OMG still no power at home Angie?! So are you now volunteering for more shifts at work, just so you can use the PC to look for Jonny-related porn online???:laugh3:

LOL:laugh3::laugh3: That just made me laugh. The man is obsessed with taking photos...I love that! I was once that way too (except I didn't/don't have access to supercool cameras). He probably wants to catch all the crazy fangirls drooling and staring and yelling his name throughout the shows:wink3: OH and.... just WOW:o:wink3::o--he sure knows how to wear those jeans, and the blue shirt--(sigh) my fave color....

OMG I never saw this...beautiful!:cry: So, it wasn't perfect, he messsed up lyrics, but it still made me feel all gooey inside! Add my name to the petition!!!

Is that true??? THAT'S HOW THEY MET?!? That's just too cute! --the joke part not the tabloids part-- Well, if that's how it works, I'm going to start spreading rumors about my boyfriend GUY BERRYMAN...:wink3: (maybe if I say it enough times to enough people it'll reach him and it'll come true??? no, maybe?!:wacky:)

Umm, yea, I totally believe that! For some reason, I didn't find that surprising:laugh3:

BUMP! :wink3::wink3::wink3:

I've never ever gotten what this means!!:huh2::embarassed: Birds flying from the underground??? Like...what, bats in caves, or in a subway LoL? I know I'm thinking about it too literally, but what's the metaphor???:dunce2:

Jonny's like, "I can't believe I get to be this close to him, every night on stage! Hell I can't believe I get to BE in a band with this good looking SOB!" (never mind the whole bit about the band being world famous COLDPLAY!):lol:

Just had to pop in to say :laugh3::rolleyes::laugh3: You guys crack me up! (And have you two ever considered a career in investigation/private detectives??? 'Cause you both seem to have natural skills, or maybe been watching too much CSI or any of those cop/mystery shows! Now you analyze handwriting, too?!?! hahaha)

where did I leave my lip gloss??? I just read Roadie 42's last blog, and didn't expect that beeauutiful surprise at the end! I ran right over here expecting to see some drooling going on, but, what slow day??? Mmmmmm he's puckering up!!!:kiss::kiss::kiss: (Even Jonny's like "wow, he's just too hot!" ;):P)

Since you mention that it reminds me how much I love Chris saying (also from Live 2003 DVD) at the very end of the show: "...please eat more chocolate, and please listen to more Coldplay..." Umm, no problem Chris, those are two of my favorite things to do in the world! Especially at the same time:lol: (and I've got a few fave lyrics, but can't think of any at the moment...but when they pop into my head I'll come back here and post hehe)

Will parteeeeee! DAMN IT---THERE WAS A WILL-PARTY AND I MISSED IT?!?! :cry:...I'm always late:( (that's what I get for being hung-over from a real-life party:drunk::sick2:) But better late than never, huh? *For Chavi-->can it get better than this?!?! (and your perviness is welcome anywhere :devilish:hehe)

I love how Guy's Stalker Girls (Carla & Chavi--yup, I've given you a title!) have taken over this thread freeeeaking out about some innocent person not realizing that they may have passed by Guy running LOL:laugh3:--not everyone is an EXPERIENCED stalker like you:wink3::lol: P.S. Good Luck with your race mc_squared--just pretend you're Guy running from fanatic girls! hehe

It's 4am right now for me, and I can't sleep. So, ummm, better make good use of my time, huh? :wink3::PSo while I listened to some "vintage" Coldplay (Parachutes & AROBTTH) look what I came across while browsing through coldplaying gallery... (there's no real rhyme or reason to why I chose these, just copy/pasted what jumped at me at the moment--except the last 2, which are my current faves:wacky:

Aww thanks! That's the show I went to!!! Can you hear my high pitch screaming?!?!:laugh3: (I'm gonna go listen to it right now and re-live it:guitarist::singer::drummer::guitarist:):dance:

I was driving home from work sooooo happy that I'm off on a (very rare) Friday and have 3 wonderful work-free days to look fwd to:D, and I had the urge to listen to live@Philly bootleg CD. It was so grrrreat to speed down the highway w/ window down singing to VLV super loud!!! ohhh ohhh ohhhhhhh:singer::laugh1::dance:

I looove that little bit where the all laugh after Chris goes "I'm JayZ..":P I'd love to have that as a little clip of all them laughing...ermm anyone know how to do that?!?:inquisitive::idea2:

Well, don't worry about it, I don't speak French, so I had no idea what they were saying LOL

LOL :lol::laugh3::P:D "mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" Chris "pretty much.....we love to get touched." Will :D:laugh3::lol::P

OMG Chavi your pics are amazing! Thank you! Merci! :D And I thought it was kinda funny how during your vid of In My Place you started shaking right when the "pleease pleeease pleeeeease" part comes up, when Chris runs up to Jonny. It's like you were too excited, expecting the moment! HA! I gotta say, thanks to Mel and her anxious requests for IMP vids in every show thread :lol:, I now too, always look for it, waiting to see what goes on in the "ramp of looove." But I'm more concerned that one day Chris doesn't fly right into poor Jonny and just totally push him off the ramp! LOL I know that by now Jonny starts to brace himself for it; I just hope one day he doesn't get sick of him and sock Chris in the face. Like, "quit it will you, I'm playing my solo here!":P

Will is learning Spanish! Ay que lindo!!!:book2::sombrero: Will: "Lyon might've been the best gig we've done" September 11, 2008 9:09 am Coldplay.com catches up with Will Hello Will. Where are you? I'm in Paris, in the environs of the Bercy dressing room complex. How's the European tour been going so far? Very well thank you. Does it feel different to the North American tour? Yeah, it does. We've changed the set slightly. We felt like for the American tour we had to come out guns blazing and we didn't really feel confident about a couple of the new songs yet. But I think with the record having been out a little longer, people are getting used to its songs. We also had people like Phil saying that Cemeteries Of London, for example, has been going down really well in Europe and online and all that. So we thought, let's try and branch out a little. We're doing a couple of newer additions, Cemeteries being the main one. It must be nice to keep changing things. Definitely. It keeps it fresh. Our problem in the past was that we'd settle upon a set and love it so much that we didn't really tend to change it. Does a European crowd seem noticeably different to an American one? It's different fom crowd to crowd, really. But they seem to have really gone for Viva in France. We didn't really feel that we'd done as well as we could've done in France. I think the addition of the French flag on the album cover probably didn't do too much damage! But Viva really took off when we were in Lyon. Actually, I think that might've been the best gig we've done, to date. It was really, really good. In what sense? Just the general reaction to songs. We're used to people singing along to the big songs and then politely clapping to the other ones. But in Lyon it was literally like every song was a Number One smash hit. Which is a very good feeling. Of course the big change for you personally on this tour is that you're singing. I am! It's quite difficult, because that section of the show is logistically tough. It's hard to get guitars and mics sounding good up there at the back of the crowd. Plus, Chris sings in the first song, then I sing in the second one and he's got a much stronger voice than I have. So it's quite difficult to get all the balances and everything right. But it's coming along. It must feel quite strange having drummed with the band for ten years to suddenly be singing. I've always sung backing vocals, but, yeah, it is quite odd. I never felt that I had a voice for lead vocals. It's quite an anonymous voice, I think, that blends well into backing vocals. But I'm trying to expand my repertoire. I haven't branched out yet, but I'd like to. What else might we expect from you? I was thinking perhaps a bit of Bon Jovi. Could this be the beginning of the Will Champion solo career? No, indeed not. Probably the end. So, according to the papers, you chaps made it to the Andorra v England football game before the show in Barcelona on Saturday. Yes, we saw the first half. We had to go after that. We got back to the venue just before 9pm and we were on stage about half an hour later. The papers claimed you'd pushed back the gig to see the whole game. No, not at all. Was that really in the paper? If we'd put it back, we'd have stayed for the whole game and not left at half time! How was the first half? Fairly uneventful. It was odd, actually, being at an away game and there being something like ten thousand English people and probably about 500 Andorrans. Great stadium, though. It was the Olympic stadium, up on the hill. Do you have any advice for England's manager, Mr Capello? Um, I think it was obvious where the faults were from the first half and I think he did well to correct them. He brought on Joe Cole on the left side which I thought was a very good move, because Downing wasn't having a particularly good game. I mean the half we saw, which ended goalless, didn't instill us with great confidence. But then as Jonny and I discussed at length, it's almost impossible to play against a team that has ten men behind the ball at all times, who haven't come to score, let alone win. But England did alright. I don't think it was as bad as everyone suggested. They still got the win in the end. Moving back to Coldplay, we spoke to Albert Hammond Jr last week, who was telling us that you pick your own support acts. Absolutely. Providing they're available and providing they want to do it. We don't force people to come on the road with us! Have you enjoyed the three you've had so far? [Albert, Santogold and Shearwater.] Yeah, they've all been brilliant, to be honest. We've been very lucky. And what have you been listening to lately? Actually, I've mainly been listening to Learn Spanish with Michel Thomas. How's it going? Muy bien gracias. Good work! I really enjoy trying to speak Spanish. It's always been a goal for me to speak another language properly, so I'm going to see it through. Presumably there's only so far you can go with CD lessons? Actually, they're really good. It gives you great confidence right from the very first bit. It's fantastic. Have you been listening to any music too? Eugene Francis Jnr and the Juniors are a great band that I discovered. It's strange folk-based, slightly electronic stuff, with lots of singing. There's about nine of them in the band and they're just fantastic. I highly recommend visiting their website, soonly. Now, about your drumkit. Are there any changes to it for this tour? Only in colouration. All of our instruments have been painted by our lovely assistant Vicki. She's done a fantastic job - far, far above and beyond the call of duty. Every single item that's painted in our collection of instruments was done by Vicki. Wow. I know. She's a very talented artist. Do you get through a lot of drum skins? Normally they're changed every other gig, I would say. For some reason I don't break as many sticks as I used to, though. I used to get through lots of them. I think I must've found the right stick. What sort of sticks do you use? They are Pro-Mark 5Bs, I believe. What makes them stand out from another drum stick? They just seem a lot more sturdy, for some reason. Or maybe I'm just getting soft in my old age. Well, it sounds like you're all enjoying the tour. So far, so good, yeah. We're just so grateful that the album's done well and people seem to get it. This would be a very different conversation if it wasn't as good as it could've been. And we're so pleased that Viva is doing well as a single. For a long time, it wasn't even going to be on the album. Which would've been insane. Well it was funny, because it took a long time to get it right. It wasn't until the very end that it actually came good. And it's turned out to be your biggest hit. Yes, ever. Without a shadow of a doubt. It's also a classic football chant in the making. Oh, yeah, definitely. We were saying we want to get the sheet music to whoever it is that plays the trumpet at the England games. I'd love it to be sung on the terraces. P.S. I love that quote in your siggy cold_love23!

this thread if %&*@#$ hilarious! :laugh3: And you French really ARE crazy! Love it!:D This looks like a mug shot: :P (I don't know what crime they committed, but Chris&Will look psychotic, and Jonny&Guy are like "Whatever, we did it, so what?" hehe And this one....it's weird seeing Chris with boobs! hahahaha:lol:

I second that request!:)

Oh yesyes!! Pleeease play I Ran Away live!!!:) or maybe another B-side. I'd take a different B-side each show, or like someone said a rotation bet. a few B-sides. Come on guys, you can fit in one more little song;)!
