... Though I should say, if Rihanna was to play any extra song anyway, I'd love it they had chosen We found love. /incoherent multiple posts

:nod: This is true. Guess we'll have to wait and see that they'll do.

Honestly, I don't care if the general impression was it was "Rihanna night". I'm more concerned with the guys enjoying the concert and delivering the best performance they could. This is pretty much what matters to me.

Maybe you could just go over their tumblr. I think the highlights (that is, what caused a bit of discussion) would be Rihanna joining them onstage to play PoC and their playing some rendition of Umbrella. Other than that, it was a "regular" concert and liveblog, I think. (Hope I didn't neglect anything important.)

If the DVD is supposed to be representative of the whole tour and this era, I think it's not very likely that Umbrella will feature on it, since they played it only tonight and because Rihanna was already there to play PoC. Maybe they just thought it was nice to ask Rihanna to play a second song. And Coldplay do speacialise in being nice :nice:

I have no wish at all to argue with you, but you previously said this : That's great of him, honestly. However, I think it should be noted that this is a matter of opinion. People will diverge when it comes to who should get a negative opinion or who deserves some credit. It doesn't matter if it's Chris Martin or not. Everyone's entitled to an opinion, regardless of it being more or less aligned with more mainstream views or other personal opinions. Besides, no one can say whether or not Chris has a negative opinion about some artist because the only kind of opinion he cares to show (on twitter, for example) is approving ones: absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Anyway, as already said, negative opinion is not the only kind of opinion that's grounded.

I think there's a big difference between speaking your mind and insulting people. Besides, saying what your honest opinion is doesn't mean it'll be negative: it's clearly possible to be outspoken about someone else's work when one just likes it. At the same time, if you like something that some people don't, it doens't mean your sense of criticism is inexistent. To love something and to be critical can certainly coexist. As for Chris: I do think he's trying to be nice, but that's just the way he is, it doesn't necessarily make him someone without opinion. He just happens to make a point to say that he appreciates something. I do not think it makes him a witless idiot without sense of criticism. I just think he's trying to expand his musical horizons without being prejudiced against things that are more mainstream and pre-established labels. I do admit I am biased. I just don't understand the correlation between trying to be nice and being an idiot or between being critical and being aggressive towards people whose work you don't like.

Upon first listen, I say I liked Unsustainable, but not in a 'mindblowing level' (which isn't bad). At least, this attempt of a grand sound didn't end up in cheesiness, as Survival did.

:shocked3: :wideeyed: :clap: Having seen works by both of you girls, a joined piece could only be that amazing! It's cool to see Guy in a drawing too :D

Jesus frigging Christ, that's incredible! Again, I prove my weirdness and pay attention to teeth, but, wow, even these are amazing. And, from a very non-specialist point of view, Chris' hair is awesome too. This nearly causes me a seizure, but I can't stop looking at it either :freak: Your avatars and smilies never fail to cause me this :angry: :P

The VLV era artwork was really inspiring and what you did does live up to it. Well done! I really like the colours of it.

edit - nvm

^Agreed.

Hey guys, it's just a matter of opinion. No one is right or wrong, no one will get offended if you like X&Y or don't like it (or, at least, no one should) :D
