To my favourite drummer :drummer: Happy Birthday Will!!!!!! :will::heart:

I'm so stoked, I have butterflies in my stomach. I'm in sec 109A, I think that's behind the stage, not to sure.. but holy crapola the rogers centre is huge!

:lol:

^ the second picture is totally going in my sig :wacky: I can't wait for the strawberry swing video:dance::dance:!!!

thanks :)

So no more talk of chrissy's body parts and commenting how hot he is because, I guess, that's what being superficial means. ("Will's sausage" and "berrylicious" are acceptable words and crotch-zooming avatars are a must) . :dozey: Problem solved.

I've been reading some of the comments (in this thread) and I have to agree with what cpfan50 said. I think it's the mods duty to make rules, to enforce them, and to put restrictions so that people don't take it too far. (I'm not implying that they haven't been doing that cause they have). Yes- people have a right to an opinion, Yes- it's noone's fault the band members are quite attractive but yes there are forums rules and if some people make comments that don't follow the rules then that must be addressed so it should not happen again. I personally don't like it when people started talking about certain members' "crotches" to me it sounds inapropriate and yeah it seems some are treating them like sex objects. :confused: I won't deny I read some pretty obsessive, if slighty vulgar comments about pics but it's great that this is being discussed, inappropriateness shouldn't be ignored and continued and as long as the mods have the power to control such comments then we won't have to worry about it. ;) @ marie/pims- :lol: that is hilarious! :laugh3: 'I'm innocent, honest!!!' :lol:

drama? :wideeyed: angst? :wideeyed:

I searched the Coldplay section to see, and make sure, there isn't a similar thread-- If this is a duplicate, you can ignore it :) I was listening to GNR "Sweet Child O' Mine" and wondered how it would sound like if Coldplay covered it and I thought it would be awesome to see Jonny rocking the guitar :cool: Anywho, is there any songs you would like them to cover, and/or any songs you would think would sound great with Coldplay's own sound mixed in?

Roadie #42 - Blog #84 June 3, 2009 10:42 pm #42 and the mighty roar of Detroit The States gets a lot of stick for being overly homogenised and lacking in diversity. I don't really see it, though. Maybe I'm lucky in that the whole place is blurring past us at such speed, but it's such a buffet of flavours and mini-cultures, you can't help but love it. Plus, if you don't love it, a couple hundred miles up the road, you probably will. We begin the morning in Manhattan. There's fewer places on the planet that can match it for sheer density of population. Folks are packed tightly in - above, below, beside and between each other. Then, as though the DVD has skipped, the next moment, the view from the van window here in Buffalo is of vast expanses of open space. Houses sit proud at the end of long driveways, with so much space surrounding them that many don't even bother with fences. You can just make out where properties end by the fact that mown lawns give way to wild grassland. We wind our way into the gig and hear Howling Bells soundchecking. (We've reached the point in the tour now where Coldplay soundchecks are a pretty rare event). Their drummer sounds like he's giving In My Place a go (and a pretty good go at that). Before he stops, the whole band have chimed in and it sounds great. I like these folks a lot - but then, they are Ozzies and this serves only to re-enforce the truism that I've never met an Australian I didn't like. I bury myself in my roadie world, fiddling with bits of my rig with sound-man Dan Green. One of the joys of a tour lasting this long is that you can dig into every aspect of what you do and find absolutely the best way to go about it. We are approaching the 12 months mark now and we're still finding ways to improve the show by a percent or two as we go. It's obviously a fine line between not fixing what ain't broke and taking advantage of the opportunity to learn every bit of kit inside out. Arrival at Detroit finds Howling Bells in a covers mood once again. Today they give God Put A Smile a go. If they keep this up they'll have spanned the whole setlist before the end of the tour. Having an opening act that is not only great in their own right, but can act as fully capable understudies is sheer genius. I can't believe it's never been suggested before... The C-stage section seems now to be regularly featuring a quick lyrical improvisation from Chris each night. For the whole time I've worked for the band, he's made up comedy songs on the spot during soundchecks (usually at the expense of various members of the crew). I've no idea whether this improv spot will become a permanent addition to the show, or whether it'll go as quickly as it came. What I do know though, is that when he fished for a reaction in Detroit, he got a pretty huge one! They can indeed make a very loud noise. For reasons I won't go into, I was in the spotlight tower about thirty feet above the crowd as they were making this noise and it sounded utterly immense. I might wander out to the C-stage more often. I'm now on my last day off in NYC for a while. I figure I should make the effort and get over to B&H. This is a huge department store entirely full of cameras, lenses, video gear and more gadgets than you can shake a USB cable at. Visiting New York without dropping a bit of cash there is like going to Egypt and not bothering with the pyramids. New toys for #42.... R#42
