Ok, bye. Seriously, if you have to go into such dramatic detail of why you are suddenly deciding to give up on a band you love, the decision developed a long, long time ago. You've obviously just been forcing yourself to listen to the last couple of albums just because. You really could have saved yourself a lot of misery by just ending it back then... I love X&Y too... actually just popped it in the car yesterday. I forgot how amazing 'A Message' and 'Swallowed In The Sea' are! Ah, Bliss.

From Matt McGinn's new 'Roadie' book: On Drummers' Names "Will Champion, eh? What a great name." :wacky:

HA, that is classic!! I do love the old Will interviews (the Canadian one with 'The Pipe' comes to mind!!). He had this weird obsession with pulling his sleeves over his hands and covering his mouth in those oldies-but-goldies! :lol: I guess 'old' Will is still in there, but now he's kind of the big daddy of the group and a dad, he has to be more down-low in public. Maybe at home he's insane... :kid::rolleyes4::pimp2:

FANTASTIC! I'll be getting this for my b-day I hope - added it to my wishlist. Hopefully my sister will get it for me and post it over.

:lol:

HA! That was funny... I went on the official Coldplay site, and thought 'WTF, they have soft porn as the exhibit!!' Then I noticed it was Jonny and the perfume ad! :lol:

He probably gave Chris a big cheesy Will grin :D

Thanks for all the congrats on my DVD guys! :hug: I watched Live 2003 for the first time in AGES yesterday, since my old discs were so scratched up they barely played! :bigcry: It was great to watch it again, and I really hope we get a VLV tour DVD eventually... I've seen that Arlene girl before... so she is dating Guy? :stunned: I thought she was their secretary or something! :tongue: Back to Will, that pic with Debs is freakin' hilarious with his little 'W' Will sign! :lol: This was one of the reasons I wanted to get it! It was destiny!! :awesome:

Double Post

YAY! My signed DVD came today! :awesome: I posted the main details in the other thread, but it looks like the real deal to me. It came registered mail and I had to sign for it. They also included TWO DVD's!! The signed one AND a regular one... maybe so I don't have to play the signed one?! :lol: I love how Will's siggie dominates the cover :P I'm on cloud nine right now!! :thumbsup:

I LOVE this song... the VLV Version only made it better...

Woohoo! It came today, and I must say it sure does look legit to me. You can tell it's been signed with marker on both the cover and DVD, so I don't believe it's some photoshop deal. Also, the seller sent it registered mail and I had to sign for it, which was comforting. The weird thing is, they included TWO DVD's!!! The signed one and another one. I guess since it's not the CD/DVD set? Or maybe so I don't have to play the signed DVD? :awesome: The COA is included and says: "I offer a lifetime guarantee of authenticity based upon the tenets mentioned below: If any purchaser has any doubts about a particular signature supplied by me, they can obtain the written opinion of a recognised authority on autographs and send it to me with the item in question. I may then obtain a second opinion and if the item is still in doubt I will fully refund the customer" Of course, any one could just type up a COA, but I really think this combined with the seller's high positive feedback, return policy, and registered mail delivery it's the real thing! :dance: I'm sooooo happy right now!!! :bomb::dead:

Butterflies were VIVA. I loved them, but agree it's on to bigger and better things.

Yeah, I don't think Chris has COD, or Call Of Duty since he's a vegetarian and doesn't really play video games like Will and Jonny :lol: I don't think he has OCD either... possibly ADHD, but that's a whole other issue.

Ok now that doesn't look as real to me... something about the signatures doesn't seem right... EDIT: LOL, and it IS real... :rolleyes: Great... I don't know, just something about Will's autograph looked off - he usually does that circle thing, but I guess this adds to the fact it's hard to tell! :shrug:

Wow, well thanks for the info. Oh well, good thing is, if it's a fake it didn't cost me much, and if it's real it didn't cost me much, so it'll be good for now :lol: Maybe one day I'll be able to find out if it's real or not, or I'll actually be able to get one in person! :wacky: At least I have another copy of Live 2003 I can watch as well :)

I don't think any of them would go solo. But Will.

Thanks guys... Yeah, apparently it does come with a COA. I've been reading their feedback, they have over 3000 and it's 99% positive. There are other signed items that were sold too by other artists. Anyway, I'm thinking it's real. I guess if I find out otherwise in a reasonable amount of time I can return it :lol:

Not getting my hopes up, but also secretly excited :dance:

I just bought this off Ebay, since it seemed like a great deal and I needed another copy of Live 2003... My other one is :dead: :shame: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150419573922 Anyway, I did a 'Best Offer' thing and it first didn't get accepted, but second did and I was kind of surprised. :surprised: Based on the sigs, it looks real to me. The seller also has a TON of positive reviews AND accepts returns, so that also leads me to thinking (hoping!) it is real! I just wanted some comparisons from those who have obtained autographs in person and those who won stuff in the End of Decade auction!! I've wanted a signed item for so damn long, and since I doubt I'll ever meet them and I didn't win anything in the Auction, this is the next best thing! :dozey::lol: So, opinions? :uhoh: Is there a way you can actually get it officially authenticated?

Well, based on all the autographs I have looked at, it appears legit. Especially since it has the 'Love Chris' on it - he doesn't do it a lot, but it looks very similar to other ones I've seen! Plus the reviews and return policy and supposed COA appear legit. I've seen many that say 'No Returns', which makes me think :sneaky: YES! The disc is signed TOOO!!!! :dead: One of the reasons I got it, it's a 2-fer! Hence you can also see the sigs look very similar to the cover sigs, so I'm thinking this is the real thing which is just TOO :awesome: I'm going to ask the general masses... I mean, good news is, it didn't cost a ton if it ended up being fake... :dozey: Anyway, either way I'm :dance: Thanks Dianne! :thumbsup:

I love the tin, but the headphones are probably shit. Nice item though. EDIT: Angie confirmed my suspicions above :lol:

Well in their defense, they are slightly smiling in the first pic. But then again, I guess they take SO many pictures, their mouths get tired! :lol: In other news... figured I would share this with you all: I JUST WON MY FIRST SIGNED COLDPLAY ITEM ON EBAY!!!! :bomb: I submitted a best offer and it got refused at first, but then I tried again and it got accepted... I was kind of surprised, since it's sort of low, especially since the exchange rate went down! It better be fucking legit, :lol:, but of all the ones I've seen, it looks real after studying their autographs, etc. and I REALLY needed another copy of LIVE 2003 too - my other is so scratched up! :shame: What do you guys think?!? :thinking: I'm sort of scared, since it almost seems too good to be true. :uhoh: But, since I'll probably never meet them, I've wanted something signed for ages and since I missed out on the auction, this was the first thing I saw that actually looked legit... Especially since they have good feedback and let you return it. AND, I loved how Will's sig stands out from the others on the cover! :awesome: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150419573922&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_502wt_939 *trembling in anticipation of analysis by others*

From Angie's ridiculously lucky week thread :lol:

GLEEEEEEEEE!!!! Finally something new to add to this thread! :lol:
