do you write own songs? put their lyrics on there.... nice sketches, pictures, drawings, whatever comes to your mind. do you have a symbol or a pictogramm you draw a lot, other random drawings? i know you're not unable, look at your schematics, i know you can do stuff maybe add something functional - like leds to play in the dark e.g. in different colors *_____*

uh oh, didn't you buy this one all new? xD i don'T like it too much =/ so unpersonal, uncreative in a way, because it's mostly song names put on there... i'd personalize it, not just copying coldplay related stuff grab some acrylics and a brush and just go ahead! but better take the housing apart so you won't fuck it up and mess with mechanical and electronical hardware! show some more billy and less chris! oh and by the way: try self adhesive foils/films that can be printed on! do some nice graphics on the pc (respectively Mac, as far as i have seen on pictures from you :D), print them onto that special foil, cut it and put it on the keyboard. -> more accuracy with graphics, easy to do, removable - why not that way?

ah thanks =D "too bad" ono the one hand, on the other one: lucky you over there in dublin !! i don't really care about the age ;) btw i'm 17 as of now^^ this trip is the last one before i finish school when i hope to have my.. what's that in french, le BAC? baccalauréat? where exactly are you from in france?

hey there, eerm, sorry wait xD bonjour =) ouais, je suis de l'allemagne (--> excusez moi pour la langue, j'ai quitté mes classes de francais l'année derniere :D ), mais avec un groupe des élèves de mon lycée, je vais visiter la france une deuxième fois =) cette fois-ci, nous visitons Caen et Paris =D est-ce qu'il y a des fans (c'est un mot francaise? sais pas xD) de coldplay de cette region? :D des jeunes fans qui peut parler l'anglais .__. (because my french really sucks =P) ---- i cannot write french any longer because i'm certainly lacking too many words, forgive me: any reccomendations for places i should see there? gonna be in caen and have some free time saturday ( 23rd of july )afternoon & evening i think, sunday i'm in cabourg (is it any good?), hm well, dunno, we're movin a lot i guess, but the evenings may be free for us, til wednesday when we head over to paris in the morning and have some time. any ideas what i can do there? - any nice places? bof. je jouera de la guitare encore un peu =D Coldplay naturalement!

i voted maybe: on some songs it is totally okay because they need it. but i really want live music to develop live 100%. kind of a WYSIWYG!** i fear the new album relies too much on backing tracks =/ but i'm sure that NO song would need them actually! so this is a "maybe with a strong tendency towards no" **what you see is what you get

agreed on the first part, but are you mental?? taking out IMP ??? the only songs i would allow that for were: Spies, White Shadows, Square One or Swallowed in the Sea they should rather get rid of the scientist, lalalaaa i'd better run for it now:laugh3:

bad news, album delayed, now called "Merry Xmas" :laugh3: //edit: just kidding, i don't wanna be yelled at for saying it's been delayed xD oh and - did anyone do that joke on MX already? hope not, it's such a bad one i HAD to go for it xD

looks like a pretty good one, weighted keys 'n stuff. go for it!

no it does not sound good at all =/ the track is so not worth the song... nevertheless it's like... all wrong? acoustic guitar is wrong, the bass, this gorgeous line guy plays, stomped down to some cheap single notes, the drumwork, don't let me even start on this NEITHER on jonnys guitr part... and yeah, dito The Champion! 1st of july it was and the lyrics wrong? you didn't do your research well it seems. sorry but i do not like it at all.

it's the "rock organ" on yamahas built in ._. and no, you cannot load new sounds onto your keyboard, but with a computer and a midi cable, you may use "VST" sounds (google that yourself ;D )

as far as i know, it's been discontinued some time ago.... there are newer models though and i'd not recommend insisting on that piano because of Chris, he wouldn't give a damn himself ;) it's the sound that matters

to Marshmallow: yes you're right. i don't even need a week, i'll do all the stuff at once in 2 days, which is about 20-24 hours of working time. the tips etc. are actually for those who do not know how to treat a guitar right, so the instructions will be more than careful with that stuff. if you have the experience though, you'll know what you can do, how far you can go, and what you should not attempt to do^^ waaaaaaah :angry::angry::angry: shame on you, don't support the cheapos xDD i mean, for 25€ what would you expect? you cannot even buy the tuners and strings for that price!! by far not the wood... since it IS trash, yes, you can take the risk with ease =P however, it might not be a bad practice for future painting jobs^^ so everybody, we wanna see pictures =D =D =D

they are right there, i just downloaded some, honestly

another thing on the rules: who said they were set up while VLV recordings? nobody did ._. in fact, they might have been put up for the next album! (however, even VLV is conform with the rules, they wouldn't give a damn about 3 minutes or 1 more song if it's THAT close!)

you cannot paint a guitar with the strings on ;) the neck has a truss rod, an this is a piece of metal and will prevent your neck from any bending and twisting. also, they are referring to changing strings, which may become an issue with vibratos! (falsly known as "tremolos").... also, radically removing all the strings with a cutter IS a bad idea, yes!! solowly tune down all the strings by the better part first and THEN cut'em off....but generally, everyone i know (and that includes some pro guitar techs and guitarists) doesn't see a problem in removing all strings for maintainance or painting etc

i hope my transcriptions are ok and sound good to you?^^

no? .____. what do you think how necks are stored? :D there is really no need to worry about the neck without srings =) when necks bend or break, something else has gone terribly wrong. that is due to massive heat or sudden drop/increase in temperature, as well as turning the truss rod too far -> that lets the neck twist it they even break, then the wood was not dry enough in the first place (bad quality) and yes, please keep us posted with pics/vids/whatever (also how it looked before you changed anything ;D )

---- sorry for the post, just realized i'm wrong---

1. ALBUMS MUST BE NO LONGER THAN 42 MINUTES, OR 9 TRACKS. 2. PRODUCTION MUST BE AMAZING, RICH, BUT WITH SPACE, NOT OVERLAYERED. LESS TRACKS, MORE QUALITY. GROOVE AND SWING Drums/rhythm are the most crucial thing to concentrate on; diff. between bittersweet and science of silence 3. COMPUTERS ARE INSTRUMENTS, NOT RECORDING AIDS. 4. IMAGERY MUST BE CLASSIC. COLOURFUL AND DIFFERENT. COME BACK IN GLORIOUS TECHNICOLOUR. 5. MAKE SURE VIDEOS AND PICTURES ARE GREAT BEFORE [...] RELEASE DATE. And highly original 6. ALWAYS KEEP MYSTERY. Not many interviews 7. GROOVE AND SWING. RHYTHMS AND SOUNDS MUST AL[WAYS...] ORIGINAL AS POSSIBLE. Once jon has melody, twist it and wei[...] 8. Promo/review copies to be on VINYL. Stops copying problem and soun[ds...] better. and so on and so on ^^ number 8 is quite smart, 3 worries me a bit and we'll have to wait whether they stick to rule number 1 or not^^

nah, just cut all the strings down, that is absolutely no problem. i made 4 guitars now, so i know what i'm saying: 1st of all: ACOUSTIC OR ELECTRIC ????? Acoustics, well, i don't have expierience with them but the painting itself is easy though. does it affect the tone? it certainly will if you have thick layers like Chris, but since he uses it with a pickup you may neglect that. but if you want to use it unamplified... hm, i'd stay away from thick layers, thin spray will hardly have an impact on the sound. Electrics: that's the way we roll, boys xD you don't necessarily have to sand it down to the wood, roughening the top layer will do, but keep in mind that you may want to paint it completely in another color first if you'd like to have a better background (e.g. white). oh and always take off ALL the hardware, anything else will result in a bad job. that includes the neck btw, except if you want one picture that goes up the neck, too... i did never to that because i didn't paint it, but the pickguard (if any) sould be roughened also... oh just one general thing: use veeery very fine sand paper, like 1200 or more... i don't think 000 or so is necessary but if you want to go that far, feel free to do so. i really recommend to stick to one type of color! otherwise you will srcew up different layers, e.g. nitro lacquer will be liquified by the solvants of acrylic paint! the latter btw. are my favourites, they are easy to handle for beginners, too. there is acrylic paint that can be used with brushes, that is what you want, and then finally, you can use spray paint to finish it and protect the colors. (also, you could think of spraying an underneath layer with different colors, i mean coldplay are totally fancying grafitti) however - E or A guitar? :D

damn it, youtube sucks, cannot watch it right now =( Thank you, Lore, for downloading this!

i posted some chords already, that's a start after all.... in standard tuning btw

wie gefällt euch das neuste banner? :D

so that means you don't do it? :P weeeeell, actually, painting plastic is always harder than painting wood. always. the paint will wear off very soon.... seriously^^ so if you want that used & messy look, okay, if you want it to look good.... don't :D

the Eb in parentheses are actually played btw, but I think you just meant to indicate that they are only leading to the next chord and are not played for too long ^^
