Jay-Z is the support act?!?! :shocked2: come on Coldplay what are you doing? Almost half the people who are gonna be there aren't gonna want him as a support act! I love Coldplay to death, I really do, but they really are selling out

BREAKING NEWS.... I'm gonna have to 'break' from a nice relaxing day to go to work tonight at 6pm and I'm gonna miss bonfire night :cry:

that's right :dance: I added some bass, harmonies and drums/percussion to Jay's rather fantastic cover :D Hope you enjoy.

:laugh3: i just seen the word orgy and got carried away, sorry babe :kiss: :rolleyes: :laugh3:

:laugh3: yeah you're right, how about a song "James is the chosen one, loving him is lots of fun" :laugh3: (sorry Mighty Boosh quote there in case anyone else is wondering what the hell I'm going on about haha)

:laugh3: this thread is hillarious! three cheers for james hip hip....

Did someone mention Westshite? :laugh3:

R.E.M. have never played 'Shiny Happy People' or 'Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight' live, ever! so that's nothing new. Fair enough this has been the first tour they haven't played 'Everybody Hurts' on, but it is slightly over played and they have better songs they can play besides 'Everybody Hurts'. I personally really loved the R.E.M. gig I went to in June, but I have seen them 3 times before and have seen them play 'Everybody Hurts' so if this was your first gig I can see why you might have been disappointed but still I thought they played loads of the hits; 'The One I love', 'Orange Crush', 'End Of The World', 'Losing My Religion', 'Man On The Moon', 'Imitation Of Life' to name but a few. I thought their choice of setlist at the gig I seen was amazing as it was a career spanning setlist. I would rather hear '7 Chinese Brothers' or 'Ignoreland' over 'Everybody Hurts' to be totally honest. Which gig did you go to? I went to the Manchester gig at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground and had a great time.

Thanks very much RadioMad for posting up the link to the new song. Really liking what I'm hearing. Nice teaser. Sounds like it's been recorded directly off the mixing desk during sound check.

Sarah I'm so happy for you, they are fantastic photos! :D It is funny you ended up meeting Chris at the Travis gig when you were expecting to meet Fran at the Coldplay gig I remember you telling me on the Travis thread :laugh3: What did you say to Chris?

Long Way Down - Travis

that will be amazing, you going with Sarah? You're gonna have to try and stay behind and meet them, it will be worth it they are really nice guys :D

I bet you were high off meeting Chris anyway haha you might have exploded with excitement if you'd have met Travis aswell! Glad you had a great time at the gig, I seen them in Liverpool the other week and they were on fire, it was the best gig I've seen them do!

hehe did you get to meet Fran, Dougie, Andy, Neil or CLAUS, CLAUS, CLAUS, CLAUS, CLAUS? hehe

I'm so happy for you Mark and Sarah, well done! :dance: He had been working in the studio, did you ask him about what he'd been working on at all? ;)

Wow!!!! You met Chris Martin? Did you get any photos? Did you get to meet Travis aswell? Glad you enjoyed the gig, the Liverpool gig the other week for me was one of the best gigs I've seen them do, they are on fire on this tour :D

night night :D

:laugh3: god that made laugh my head off :laugh3:
