^^ that was sarcasm btw ;)

Well he/she basically claimed to know insider information about the band and the upcoming album and he/she gave us a few random pieces of information which got quite a few people (including me) a little excited about the new album..but then it turns out that Boobooboo might've just been having some fun and making up facts. :P

Yup..I have to admit it! But yet..thanks Boobooboo for the entertainment! You were like those small twists in the plot of House when everything got too predictable in the series. (I mean, the pattern in each episode just became too obvious after a while: somebody falls sick --> House not interested --> something about the case interests House --> he thinks he finds the cure almost immediately after --> something goes terribly wrong --> damage control --> things look very bleak for the patient --> patient's personal story is given importance --> random thing gives House the clue to the answer --> House figures out the right treatment and everything's okay --> House is shown to have a heart, as music plays in the background --> end of episode). Don't get me wrong though..I really liked the series.. And also, I'm sorry that I presumed you were Mr. Boobooboo, while you could be a Ms. Boobooboo... About A Head Full of Dreams...hmm..I'm not really a fan of the title..I just hope the songs will be great!

lets see what Boo boo boo can reveal about lp8 now..

1. Viva la Vida 2. X & Y 3. Parachutes 4. Rush of Blood To the Head 5. Mylo Xyloto and Ghost Stories (tied)

64 686

Mr. Boo boo boo's gone invisible again eh? Busy at the Art Exhibition? ;)

Could be..! Boo boo boo did say there might have been two melodies played that night..

I think it is the same chord progression as that at the end of Warning Sign, the point where he goes "and I crawl back into your open arms"

hahahaha! I thought so too! this is fun..! and I think that's the point of it eh? whether what Boobooboo (or Chris Martin/Anchorman/Phil/etc. - whoever you want him to be) said is true or not..i'm having a great time in this thread..! btw, I think he was referring to this video clip from Montreal. Its at the end of Warning Sign, where Chris sings another melody over a chord progression similar in rhythm and feel to warning sign. So either he's tied all these links up neatly and conveniently to propose that one of the new songs is similar to Warning Sign, or it just might be true..! Nevertheless, I'm glad his comment made me go back to this video and search for it, because whether or not its a new song, what Chris sings at the end is a really nice melody! That section in the video starts just after around 4:05 [video=youtube;t4-7uJKuEZo]

Btw, right at the beginning, while u2 and chris were being introduced, I think I saw a roadie with MUSE's logo on his shirt sleeve. (He was holding the bass)

...possibly what chris was referring to when he said that lp7 would be like a summation of all the previous albums...

oh alright..thanks!

whoa I forgot about this! thanks for putting it up again..! and holy cow, guy's bass line sounds great in this..

Hey, could someone tell me which stores in the US are selling the DVD (apart from the coldplay website that is. I just want to check all the options before buying.)? I've got a friend in America who's coming down to India soon and he said he could pick it up for me.

:O brilliant! sounds promising..!....buuuuut lets not get our hopes up.. :/ Thanks for all the info btw...even if it isn't confirmed.. Any more info/rumours would be great too..! even if its about what they ate for breakfast while recording the tracks..

I've watched a few videos of Lost being played live and I can understand why Guy's drum playing might seem to be off (and hence faked), but it actually isn't. If you look closely, he is hitting the downbeats and a few quarter or 16th notes. He is playing the bass drum, yes and it does continue after he has stopped, but when bands rehearse for the live shows they fix on the moments where, in this example, guy is going to stop playing the drum and start playing the bass. They might decide that he'll stop playing the bass drum two bars before he comes in with the bass (guitar), so they'll trigger that same bass drum sound to take over from guy as a backing track from that moment on. OR, will might start playing his bass drum on the kit from that moment (he might have not been playing it so far). I dunno what approach they would've taken, but it could any one of these or even other methods to make sure that there's is sonic consistency throughout the song. If there wasn't a backing track (or will) to take over from guy when he stopped, it would've sounded incredibly empty all of a sudden; and thats why they would use a backing track at that moment. In the end, there's a huge audience dying to listen to them play, and if it doesn't sound complete, they wouldn't like it. I do agree that they could get other people to fill in those parts instead of using backing tracks, but that's a question of perspective as the band might want to keep its 4 member identity very strong. I think somebody has already pointed out the deal with the midi triggered bell and Chris playing the keyboard in viva, which I agree with. I remember watching a live version of viva where you can notice a pickup hidden inside the bell. I don't know if it looked like a midi pickup or a normal pickup/mic, but it was definitely a device to capture sound/vibrations. If will was actually fake playing it, I don't know why they'd go through all the trouble of attaching a pickup to the bell. Having said that, I do agree that Chris could play the keyboard parts for songs like lost instead of running around. I remember he didn't play the guitar for yellow during the live 2003 concerts as well. But then, these are big songs and I think he wants to really jump around and interact with the audience, and once again, that's the band's choice. He even stops playing the organ (on the piano) during Fix You when the guitar riff starts so that he can run around and perform, and you can notice, albeit in only a very few concerts, how there's a sudden sonic emptiness despite Jonny's riff. It doesn't sound as full or lush as it is supposed to. I'm thinking that the organ backing track might have failed to start for some reason or something, because it doesn't happen all the time. So mistakes like this also show that the band is actually playing live and not faking it. :D I think they're genuine and they play all their parts live, and they have a lot of measures like backing tracks in place to fill in for the parts that they can't play, so that the audience gets what they paid for (or even more). Chris with the laser harp is definitely not trying to play anything for sure. It looks more like he's a curious kid playing with lasers and getting his hand burnt each time he touches it, but wanting to touch it again nevertheless :P

did we just jump from 64 581 to 64 682? In that case, my post should be: 64 588 (Yup, sometimes I am that jobless that I even go through the previous posts on this thread :| )
