a-chan

I like both: pictures and autographs. Not that have many of either of them XD! But I tend to feel that just talking to the person has much more value than sthg material. I've had the lucky chance to bump into one of my favorite artist in a small pizza place in London just the day before I was going to see his show *karma*. I didn't ask for an autograph or a photo cause we were in a public place, nobody had noticed him and he was leaving, but I just went talked to him for 2min, small chit-chat about the upcoming gig etc. He was very sweet and this priviledge, total random moment means more to me than the pic & autograph I've had of him the next day after the gig where he was surrounded by fans... I'm sure that Anna and Imke who met Chris & Guy recently would back me up on this...Being able to talk to them, even if you know they won't remember you the week after, see with your 'own' eyes how they behave off stage, means more than the actual picture.

Nice Jen!! :thumbsup: I see you take the education of your child very seriously :D He's so grown up on the last photo!! He's such a cutie...haaa :blush:

THIS!!!! No one can top Jeff :smug:

Yeah I think so too, but just like you, I wonder if it's due to the fact I know he was kicked out (I discover SP with EO, so Pablo had just arrived) but even on stage, he seems having fun on his own but not interact a lot with the others... :thinking: Pablo, dispite his relative quietness, go see Gary, Nathan and all during gigs...Not really the case with Mark. Plus, I don't like his face and the way he talks... :P I'm glad they replace him by Pablo, he's such a sweetheart :heart:

:awesome: I'll check it out!!! SP are really good on those showcase or small radio/record stores gigs ^^ One of my fav is the Nashville record showcase, got some amazing Gary's banter: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKNctGECGnQ]YouTube - The Planets Bend Between Us.[/ame] The 'olive grove' one is priceless with him looking up at the lyrics the manager gave him every now and then cause he forgot them... :laugh3: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awRE3dL72VY]YouTube - Olive Grove with some difficulties =].[/ame] Check out the rest, it's in the same vein! xD Yeah, that not really 'unseen'...It's one of the bonus of the Live @Sommerset DVD :) A must see if you ask me...! Love Tom miming the speech at the end, always cracks me up! I love that SP put bonus films in all their releases (from the time they have success, there no bonus DVD on the first two albums but there are for EO, AHMS, Up to now and the live @Sommerset). I love those films where you see them joking around, or record and rehearse....I hope they'll keep doing it with the next one! *pray*

Sorry, I haven't seen this one... As for the quiz show, if you found it could you pass it to me via PM? I don't remember if I've saved it (so many SP stuff on my external drive or burned on CDs...lol)

I don't see which gig it was...as for the quiz, I totally remember it now but I've searched YT for half an hour and I haven't found it... :/ Dunno if it's been deleted, there is a lot of their vids that have been recently... and I hadn't put this one in favorites so...sorry... :shame:

Hi Mig-El!!! If you can go to U2's show: GOOO!! If you have SP as opening act, it's a win-win, if not, you still have U2...which is kinda super class?!!! Don't see which gig that is... :thinking: Gary said a lot of times that Nathan and/or Pablo are too hot to handle... :lol: As for the quizz, is that this one?

I think that most of asians don't seem to age, they all look so young year after years... :inquisitive: I think it's the 'drummer syndrome', they don't get often occasion to speak and when they do, they're pretty discreet...but I like Jonny's sense of humour ^^ I Love this ITV. I ALWAYS have such a hard time to understand Pablo, he doesn't articulate + the scottish accent, I'm like :huh: :uhoh: but he seem pretty funny though! Nice ITV ^^ Nathan seems to be a quite something too, I LOVE the acceptance speech he did when Gary had his jaw broken... 'Gary broke his jaw in a bar fight...how many women was it?!' :lol: (the speech starts @1min) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OeCmbuDYys]YouTube - Aceitando o prêmio de Melhor Banda Irlandesa no Meteor Ireland Music Awards[/ame] On the AHMS bonus DVD, he also joke about the intro of 'rocket' saying that the noise at the begining sounds like 'beeer...beeeer'... :laugh3: (and you can see Pablo jumping on that singing 'wiiiine....wiiiiine...' lol ) Now everytime I hear this song, I think of that... :lol:

hum....ok, that will do for this time.... :rolleyes: :D

Thx Boss ^^ I saw that too and I'm a little :dozey: How many version of Lungs has they issued already? 3? :laugh3: They're doing this because America, 3 years later.. :dozey:, discovers Flo (thx to VMA performance, which was 'dull' IMO).... I see they remove 'you got the love' on CD1 to put the Dizzee version on CD2... I already have 'swimming' on my box set, and I'm NOT re-buying this for just Strangeness & charm and Heavy in your arms, which I already have as mp3. I hate that when artists put re-edition a while AFTER you buy the initial album...it's a total ripp-off of fans IMO. I prefer when artists choose to put all versions (normal and deluxe ones) at the SAME time! At least, you can choose right away! For her next album, I think I'll wait before buying it to find a 'version' that I really want :laugh3:

Actually, my name has accent on the 'e' so it's Aurélie :P :rolleyes:

E-X-A-C-T-L-Y!! Boys, if you hear us...DVD PLEASE :bomb: :lol: I thought the same thing! Yeah, his movies are 'indie' here cause they are not play in many theater, only 'arts & essay' theaters (dunno if it's how it said in english?)...But at the same it's quite famous (because of Cannes festival). But Tony Leung, Andy Lau and Takeshiiiiiiiiii :heart: (that man is TOO gorgeous!).... the great three <3 !!! Yeah, Jonny should speak more often! :smug:

Paulaaaaaaaaaaaa :awesome:

:lol: I think that's not the pigeons Nathan should be afraid of....:p

Great setlist!!! Just laugh at Nathan's latest tweet: :laugh3: GO NATHAN!

I red that one a few weeks ago actually and I LMAO when he talked about how he can get pissed at his mom: 'Ohhh Mum!' I just stand above myself and go, 'Really? 32 years old? Really? That's how you're going to talk to your mum? :laugh3: *rotfl* :laugh3: That don't surprise me...He loves movies and all bunch of indie films...:thinking: Love WKW movies too, we have, again, another thing in commun... :rolleyes: :D Oh yes he does...! He said pretty much the same thing in this short ITV (@40sec 'the mormon comunity' :lol: ) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pItqYjS9vXY]YouTube - Snow Patrol talk about their latest album[/ame] And in the big Herald Scotland ITV (the big 'Gary confession one'), he said also this : I end up with what he said to Q if he had to sum up the last decade as a tweet: "we began like a band and ended up as a brotherhood". :heart: I think he owe them big time for having sticking with him through thick and thin.... It's really cute to watch them together (love all those bonus DVDs that goes with EO, AHMS or Up to now), they really act together as brothers...*cute*

When crime arise...the Patrol solves the crime! :D :laugh3: Tom would be the geeky guy from Informatic department and Nathan the blood technician...?! There is a better version of it they did for a BBC session [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZmVBYHR8pY]YouTube - Snow Patrol - Ray Of Light [Maida Vale 75th Anniversary][/ame] Oh how I second that! I promised myself I would ask Gary about that at the TP show, but I totally forgot... :facepalm: asked about the TP DVD instead... :lol: :laugh3: poor Tom...He certainly deserved the love though :kiss: I would love to see him DJ ^^

Nichts zu danken ;) About the reworked tour recording, he SAID there would be sthg out so why not do it?!!! :bomb: (here @the very end of the ITV at 8min25) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7alqKn0yGog]YouTube - Entrevista de Gary para a Explore Music - Parte 2[/ame]

+10000 We were speaking about that with Kimi and I think that Gary's banter and interaction with people he pick in the crowd "create" an intimate ambiance ^^ As for the banters, I think they would probably cut some of them but not all...On the live @Sommerset DVD, they are a few banters... so :shrug: +10000000000 you have a gig AND a comical act XD And apparently, at the first gig at the Guinness storehouse (the big one), Gary messed up a LOT and even forgot lyrics for Run!!! XD I mean come on Gary...RUN!! No, on the 23 september, it was Arthur's day (Guinness fondator) so the firm organise every year concerts in a lots of pubs or public places in Dublin where famous artists (like SP, Paolo Nutini, Brandon Flowers etc... -this year-) plays intimate gigs. It's cheap (I think it's 5£ the ticket..price of a pint of Guinness) BUT the trick is, you don't know who's gonna play where!! So if you're lucky, you can come across your favorite band ^^ Here the commercial that explain it better than me...(little Gary msg at the end) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFZAfGga5PA]YouTube - ARTHUR'S DAY IS BACK![/ame] So no need to say that : intimate cheap gigs+Guinness= heaven <3 So two days ago, SP opened up the event at Guinness storehouse and then played their secret gig at a pub called Odeon ;) They were happy to do it cause last year, they didn't do Arthur's day. btw, found Gary messing CC @Odeon :laugh3: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoEh2T2tXoI]YouTube - Snow Patrol @ Odeon [4/5][/ame]

Oh yes Anna, please spamm us :awesome: Gorgeous cover!! <3 They should have put this one or 'One day like this' in Up to now rather than 'crazy in love' (which I find :dozey: ). But bigger question WHY OH, WHYYYYYYYYY AREN'T THEY RELEASING A RAH DVD?!!! :bomb: I was speaking about the Odeon show yesterday, apparently Gary forgot the lyrics on Chasing car :lol: He managed to make up lyrics as he always do and then a man from the crowd shouted 'if you lie with me and just forget the words'... :laugh3: Haven't found it on YT yet, but I'll post it if I find it (the only CC vid I found is not that part :/) Little pic from Arthur's day launch Why have they put Tom near Gary?!! :facepalm: :lol:

OMG!!!! Great pics Angie!! I LOVE the Jaja one! Beautiful lightning! But shame they didn't allow cameras...:/ Plus, that guy who stole from you was a ealy jerk!!! How long was the show?? Was the setlist good?

:awesome: piiiiiiiiiiiics!! This post needs some comments.. :wink3: I agree with you on that one, he looks good on STFTTB :thumbsup: Looks like a photoshoot for a criminal TV show like CSI :laugh3: My...the TIE, Gary... what is this tie?!!! :facepalm: ..geez, almost there! :lol: (I love him with his beardy look *w*) See, he can do it when he wants...no so hard, right gL?!! :rolleyes: I absolutely ADORE this pic, he looks so adorkable :D (plus, I have pretty much the same glasses...!) I know that one!! This was taken the same night he jammed (pretty HAMMERED!! :laugh3: ) with Iain Archer (also, slightly drunk, but not as the Lightbody level) at the Oh Yeah Center... Here some drunken singing Gary... :laugh3: (BIG LOL @Iain who is too short for the microphone :facepalm: :lol: ) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3DZaudL5yw]YouTube - Panama Kings/Gary Lightbody - Teenage Kicks[/ame] *collector*
