We still haven't heard any full songs from the new U2 album yet but the band and Daniel Lanois (Eno's co-producer) have several times stated that this will be a departure from the last two albums. Adam Clayton (the bassist) said they didn't want to go back into the studio making the rock 'n' roll album - part II. The Edge (lead guitarist) said it's a very diverse material they're working on and Bono described it as Polyrhytmic while Lanois said it was going to be "handplayed and electro". It sounds like we will indeed see a reinvention with this album, but until it's in the shops we won't know for sure. It could very well be pre-album hype for all we know... But my point is that U2 are possibly breaking the trilogy theory with this album.

Thank you, Marky! Much appreciated.

Hello Cassiopee, It's good to see some fellow newcomers and I hope you will enjoy your stay here at coldplaying.

Welcome Josh! Hope you enjoy your stay.

Välkommen! Jag registrerade mig nyligen också, trevligt med lite fler svenskar på ett så stort och läskigt forum.

Hello, I'm new here. I feel that I'm ready to start playing Coldplay songs with backing tracks now after playing some songs by my own for a while. Is there a chance that these could be re-posted? It would be greatly appreciated and feel free to upload more backing tracks, if there are any avaliable of course. Thanks in advance!

It's time! (GMT+1) EDIT: Nothing... Who would've thought that? ;)

I saw you greeted me in my own thread so I though I'd stop by to write something as well when I came across the reply quoted above. "Like" is kind of an understatement. Worship is more like it but no words can describe how much I adore U2 and Edge in particular. He's been a huge influence on my guitar playing as has Johnny but not equally as much (...yet.?) Take care! Edited to add: You wouldn't happen to know where I could get some good Coldplay backing tracks to play along with, do you? I did a search on the forum but all I came across were expired links.

Yes, I did make an introduction thread and it was pretty recently too. Here's the link: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43543

Thank you Josh. I bought it at my first U2 concert in 2001. I was twelve at the time so it was hard to take it all in at once but I had a great time. Thank you Age Six Racer, I just took some things nearby and set it up like that. It was indeed taken for u2.se, I wonder how you could figure that out :o :)

Hi, welcome to coldplaying. Good to see that I'm not the only new member around here.;)

Hello, Claire nice to meet you. I've been here for about a week now so I guess that makes me an old member around here now and therefore I reckon it's my duty to greet you. Welcome to Coldplaying.

Welcome to coldplaying message board devzos. I hope you enjoy your stay ;)

Hello Josh, welcome to the boards. That was an excellent introduction. I recently signed up too, and I hope you will have a great stay here.

Twisted mind, twisted logic 10, freckles, Briggins and Zeoir thank you all again for taking a couple of moments to welcome me. I noticed I didn't say anything about the forthcoming album at all in my initial post. As a U2 fan I'm really excited about the idea that Coldplay chose to work with Brian Eno on this one but I have to admit that I was a bit annoyed the first couple of weeks after I heard about the collaboration on the radio. I wonder if Eno will use Coldplay and U2 to achieve his dream about arabic music influencing western song writing. :thinking: In any case this will prove to be a fantastic year in music, mark my words. Take care all of you.

Thank you busybeeburns, RICK8, rudy_o, crestingwaves, Zaza, ~ Sandy ~ and last but not least Giuly2E for making me feel welcomed to these boards.

Hello to you all! I'm a Swedish boy born in 1989 and I live in the suburbs of our capital Stockholm. I've been listening to Coldplay since Speed of Sound was played on the radio but I had heard of them before that though. That moment made me a less casual Coldplay fan but I've been an admirer of the British quartet since A Rush Of Blood To The Head, I guess, since the first Coldplay song I heard was Clocks. I haven't seen the boys in concert yet, but I hope I will someday. My taste in music is very mixed, I listen to pretty much anything except for different types of metal and more recent hip-hop. Apart from Coldplay I enjoy listening to U2 a great deal. About a year ago I became one of the editors of the biggest Swedish U2 fansite U2.se and it is such an honour and so much fun to be part of a website that you admired and previously used to visit as just another fan, let me tell you. In my freetime I don't do much these days since school takes up much of my time and my band where I was the lead guitarist split up six months ago. If you're the slightest interested in the music we made I'll recommend that you visit our MySpace page (make sure that you check out our blog too!). Before that I played basketball for five years, which should give you an idea about my height. If there's any further questions about me I'll be happy to try to answer them as soon as possible. Here's a picture of me as well: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v375/Edge89/E89/edge89-2006-09-29.jpg
