RadioMad

If Radiohead and Coldplay were to play in the Netherlands on the same night, I'd first curse and swear to anyone near me, then I'd buy a Radiohead ticket and send Chris Martin a sorry note.

I read he (Chris) takes singing lessions. Better be a hell of a cheap vocal coach, then...

I honestly disagree. Fix You is arguably the best song on X&Y.

Some videos I uploaded... just the new ones. Quality-wise it's a bit better imo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnhbHef8928 Violet Hill http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRtSR82cUFA Lovers In Japan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8I54_OY3xMY Chinese Sleep Chant http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ujNzCvjQOs Viva La Vida Haven't ripped 'Clocks' and 'Fix You' yet, but I think I'll be able to do that tomorrow...

Ik zoek ook 1 arenakaart (staan) voor 2 oktober. Mocht iemand er eentje over hebben, dan hou ik me ze-ker aanbevolen!

Copy-paste from another topic: Woah you guys. Just.... woah! Just came back from this exclusive Coldplay showcase with only 150-180 people present (including friend of the band Anton Corbijn) The band hadn't played in front of such a small crowd in quite a while, so they were a bit nervous... as were we. It was really cool though. Chris has a really cool new guitar painted with Viva La Vida artwork. I hoped they would play at least a 1-hour set, but it turned out to be a 6-song set only. The band played: 1. Violet Hill 2. Clocks 3. Lovers In Japan 4. Chinese Sleep Chant 5. Viva La Vida 6. Fix You Life In Technicolor inititally was on the setlist as well as the opening song, but they decided to scrap it at the last minute and add Fix You instead. Each song played featured short films shown on a television set, for instance: the dancing politicians video was shown during Violet Hill. After they played Lovers In Japan, somehow the television set fell down, just missing the keyboards played by Jonny and Chris. Chris was quite stunned: "I can't believe it. I finally smashed a TV, and the tour hasn't even started yet." Luckily it was still working though... :) "Ah, it's not even broken, that shows how 'Rock 'n Roll' we are" Chinese Sleep Chant was quite loud, but the crowd seemed to enjoy it. Highlight was Viva La Vida though. When the "oooooo-oooooooohhh" bit (sung by Will, Guy and Jonny) came, the whole venue started chanting along leaving Chris with a stunned smile. "Thank you", he gratefully answered. "You are a great crowd" After Fix You (Chris asked us if we wanted to hear either that or Trouble, but the majority chose Fix You), the gig sadfully ended and the band said goodbye ("Jonny has an appointment with the dentist", Chris joked) Outside the venue I had the wonderful experience meeting the whole band, and shaking hands with Will, Jonny and Chris. Unfortunately we were warned in advance that cameras and recording equipment were strictly forbidden and banned from the venue, so I didn't bring one. So I don't have any pictures to show you, unfortunately. Please note that the interview + gig will be broadcast this saturday at 23:35 CET on Dutch tv channel NL3. And yes, I will record it and share it a.s.a.p. :)

Neither. Fansite http://www.coldplayfans.nl got some tickets to give away, thanks to EMI

I'll record it, and put it on Youtube on sunday. ;)

Viva La Coldplayfans.nl I'm there!

First gig of the tour, and I'm on the guest list. GLOOOOOOORUIOUS DAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!! :D

First gig of the world tour. In my tiny little country. That's just ... insane.

Good luck :) My guts are saying even more tickets will become available soon...

I was there and they played a 65 minute set back then... So I would rank it as a concert, yes. Or perhaps 'showcase' is a better term for it. Definitely will try my best to attend this one as well.

Actually, it's Killer Cars (live at the Metro) :) The studio version of Killer Cars only appeared on the High & Dry single, and that's The Bends-era. But since it's one of my favourite Radiohead b-sides, I'll never vote it off. Vote for YES I AM, goddamnit!

I don't really care what they'll play, as long as they play AT LEAST a 90-minute gig. The gigs on the last tour where a bit short imo. I mean, come on, they are one of the biggest bands in the world today.

The first album, Forgiven Not Forgotten, is quite good. Talk On Corners and Unplugged are worthy as well. Not sure about the rest. Bland.

I curse anyone of you who voted 'Stupid Car' out already. Anyway... Yes I Am must be ditched next.

Right now I'm hating the new Lenny Kravitz single, 'Love Love Love'. He really has become incredibly lame and crap over the years, hasn't he?

Oooooh, that's the Rock Werchter 2003 gig I think. I was there! I remember loving this performance of Kid A. :)

They have been playing it to death in the Netherlands. It's on the radio about 5 times a day.

Best part of the video are the black and white shots of the bandmembers.

I definitely prefer Doves The Last Broadcast and Lost Souls were masterpieces

How did Violet Hill chart in your country? Just received word (and proof) that it charted at #1 in The Netherlands. It's their second #1 hit, after 'Talk'. 'Clocks' charted at #2 in 2003.

Granted, the singer from Gallows is like an evil Chris Martin from a dark parallel universe... with tattoos and firey eyes.
