Thanks! Some pics have been added as well (22 to be more precise). Or were they there yesterday?

How lovely is Chris! Thanks a lot for sharing that!

Really? I thought most of the people praised Coldplay in the UK.

If they wear black clothes, people complain. If they (apparently) do not change clothes, people complain. :thinking:

1. First related Coldplay memory? Listening to Clocks without even knowing who Coldplay were. 2. Have you ever seen the band live in concert, if so where? No. 3.a Favorite Coldplay album? A Rush Of Blood to The Head. b. Favorite Coldplay song? I really don't know, maybe Murder, How you see the world, What if, AROBTTH, Brothers and Sisters, Talk and Lost!... (sorry, I can't choose) c. Favorite Coldplay video? Talk (or the 'alternative version' of VH) 4. Most treasured Coldplay item in your collection? I don't really have anything like that, honestly. 5. What was your craziest fanatic moment regarding Coldplay (ie. did you have to go at great lengths to see them live? did you do something really dramatic to defend Coldplay? etc etc.) I used to get really, really angry whenever people said they're rubbish or something like that, but now I just think 'yeah, yeah, whatever' because any comment, compared to what Coldplay music is for me, is just nothing (ok, maybe I do get mad occasionally :P)

Great \o/ (seriously)

After the past few weeks of complete and utter chaos, we find ourselves loading into a huge empty space in LA with an entire week until the doors open for the first show of the tour. It's a little like finally getting a chance to move into your new home after a mad month of parties and visitors. Finally, we have time to arrange the furniture, to work out where the fusebox is and to attend to that troublesome leak when someone uses the shower upstairs. In many ways, the promo shows were a great way to get a lot sorted out very quickly. We didn't so much hit the ground running as get thrown from a moving vehicle. It meant we had no choice but to make things work - and fast! Now though, we're smoothing the edges, refining every aspect. "Good enough" has never ever been good enough with this lot - and now, less so than ever. I expect a lot will happen this week and not all of it fun. I'm also pretty sure that by the time the house-lights go down for the first night next week, the show is going to have grown into something pretty exceptional. Also by then, with any luck, British Airways will have found my suitcase.... http://www.coldplay.com/newsdetail.php?id=59

Thanks a lot! I must be going mad; I did'nt realise that you posted other links. I'll see what I can do and I'll translate the article. That beginning part is actually from the NME issue along which they gave away the exclusive Violet Hill single with A Spell A Rebel Yell as a "b-side", so I'll try work out what the other parts say. EDIT I do appreciate the fact that you posted the scans lots of times, but do you know any website where I can read it? I really can't see what's written, apart from a few words here and there.

Oi, Larissa! :)

Hey, that's great! I signed it ;)

I'm 18. I think I was 12 or 13 when I first listened to Coldplay, but I became a fan when I was 15, almost 16, I suppose.

As soon as we have it, I may help with the translation.

Tudo bem sim, Denise, tô de férias \o/ E você?

Oh, sorry, I didn't express myself very clearly. I was talking about the size of the images. Sorry to bother, but thanks again for posting them. I was really willing to read it because, in the Brazilian forum, someone posted some ad, but they thought it was some Brazilian issue.

Huge thanks for that, but I don't really think we can read it. Anyway, something in Portuguese \o/

Denise \o>

:lol: Yay! Something about Coldplay that's not in English! \o/

:P

It's quite sad that people do not pay any attention to the other Coldplay members. I really admire Chris, but I can't think about him without thinking about Jonny, Guy and, mostly, Will. I'm glad he sang that one, whatever it's called. And congrats for the setlist. It must've been awesome!

Very good review, apart from too many comparisons to U2. Thank you!

Coldplay doesn't wish to wreck speakers and cash registers, but to blow minds. With so many articles talking about the financial side of the new album and its predecessors, I do appreciate that someone finished an article this way.

Thank you! They're just awesome. I do hope it's a full videoclip. It would be a shame if it wasn't.

La Vida Loca! xD Thanks a lot for sharing it!

Thank you very much! And thanks for the info!
