Good stuff

It has been addressed in this thread the fact that there are "known" or "named" ppl on this album. I think it's great that Coldplay can who have whom ever they want on their album whether it be "Friends & Family" or who ever the hell they want. That's the point about this band. They have gotten where they don't give a WHootenany's Ass what anyone thinks and are just making the album they want to make. And having fun. And it will be gorgeous and we will love it.

I love this interview. I have read it at least 5 times and I am learning something new every time I read it. The questions were great.

just going to post this, Thanks gai, I will tweet link!

Welcome to Coldplaying!

I got my match today WOOOHOOOO!!

Here is a beautiful article about one of the many that died. It's a tribute we can all relate to, the wonderful Roadies and Crew we appreciate so much http://observer.com/2015/11/we-are-all-the-road-crew/ We Are All the Road Crew Nick Alexander, the merch manager for Eagles of Death Metal, was killed during Friday night’s terrorist attack at Paris night club the Bataclan. Behind virtually every band you see on stage, there are unseen men and women who wrestle with monitor mixes, tune drumheads, carry un-carryable bass amps, argue with impossible promoters, scramble to find change for someone buying a baseball hat, negotiate with hotel clerks who don’t speak their language, change money and change money back, drive thousands of miles through the night, drive thousands of miles through the snow, drive thousands of miles through the rain. Today, we honor all road crew through the spirit of just one of them: Nick Alexander, who lost his life Friday night. The artists who move you, who make you jump and wiggle and crouch and crawl and cry and scream, would not be standing in front of you without the beautiful, beastly, dirty, dainty, sleepless, slatternly, profane, proud, patient, impatient, tattooed, committed, and committable army of men and women who make these moments of onstage transcendence possible. Sometimes, it’s just one guy or girl who does all the driving and dashes from soundboard to merch stand to van to dressing room; other times, it’s three long busses full of professionals who have made this their life’s work. In any event, these are the men and women behind the curtain who make the wizard’s fantastic onstage humbuggery a reality. Today, we honor all of them through the spirit of just one of them: Nick Alexander, who lost his life Friday night. He wasn’t just a “merch guy.” He was a member of the ensemble who happened to play T-shirts. Please think of him and please be thankful for all of the people who make the musicians’ dreams possible, and who make it possible for us to dream through music. To isolate one victim of Friday’s attacks is inappropriate. But there is no such thing as a small life; we must recognize that every life lost leaves a hole in the world. To isolate one victim of Friday’s attacks is inappropriate. But there is no such thing as a small life, so we must recognize that every life lost leaves a hole in the world, one that is absolutely unique. Every victim of Friday’s obscenity leaves an empty place in a bed, an empty seat at the dinner table, an empty desk at an office, an empty stool at a favorite bar, an untold story by a child’s bedside, a bicycle in a garage without a rider, an empty seat by the window in the tour bus; and from this moment forward, for as long as there is someone alive who loved or knew one of these victims, that person remains in someone’s heart and memory. Twenty-four years from now, 44, 52, 88 years from now, someone will be alive who sees and feels that empty seat at the dinner table. Nick Alexander’s life and work is important to every person who has made music, every person who listens to music, and every person who has ever been inside a club or a concert hall and found themselves deep in the thrall of the experience of live music. By honoring his profession, I hope to do some honor to the man; and by honoring one man, I hope to shine some light on the idea that every victim (these names we may hear for a moment, the names we will never hear), touched a thousand and more lives. I did not know Nick Alexander. But I know his brothers. And next time you are staring at a stage, next time your feel your chest vibrate because of the humping, humming low end throttling out of the speakers, next time you look through the haze of the smoke and the lights to the dreamers on stage singing the words that express your thoughts even better then you can express them yourself, please see Nick in the lights, hear him in the music, feel him in the hiss and holler of the amps, and be aware that his brothers and sisters are in the room, too, making it all happen.

I really hope the band reads the tweets and posts of the fans. I hope they are reading this thread. It is criminal what the scalpers are charging for tickets. When LCD Soundsystem found 60 of their tickets being sold by ONE SCALPER they called them out and asked how they had 60 of their tickets to their last show at MSG. That's when they decided to have 4 shows at Terminal 5 where the tickets were sold and the purchaser picked them up at the venue and had to have id. Two ticket max. There must be something a band as big as Coldplay can do to help this situation. They can do anything! But this is a story that we will hear for a while to come with the new tour. PRE-SALE is an answer.

Coldplay just tweeted this <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Please note: if you bought tickets tonight for the R1 show on Dec 3, you need to take ID.

Thalia, what you do to me .......... :cry: so beutiful edit, we need you in news hq for a project STAT!

Thank you for starting this thread. I was going back and forth to start a thread in the news section about the horrible events of yesterday. I just could not bring myself to do it. It was just too upsetting. This seems much more appropriate. We wish all of France much love.

Welcome to the Board :)

Sat, Nov 21st

It obviously was not the time or the place to play the new songs from the album considering what had happened that day in Paris, you can understand that, right?

So I have been looking at at Tidals Twitter . They seem to be having tech difficulties with the streaming music lately & informing winners of the LA contest. Don't know if that has anything to do with me ppl not getting emails for NYC Streaming party

go just go, don't listen to the shooers!

ok no prob, I will pm you now

wait, are you in California ?

Me too, I have not gotten anything yet :(

yes

I signed up for the cheaper version so I am hoping I can watch it, but if I am at the NYC streaming (still have not got my confirmation email yet!!! :() Let me know what to do, you know I am not techy
