306 :blank: And I thought there would be A LOT of people with more songs than me :blank: But you know, in June, I started to add 1 album for Rock Am Ring, 1 for Pinkpop, 1 for Glasgo... etc etc :rolleyes:

There are so many fu*king details... Coldplay's videoclips are really amazing technically (Scientist, Strawberry Swing, Christmas Lights in some kind of way, and now this one). And it's poetic, yes. I was so afraid of this video. I just can't believe it.

I am, like, totally blown away. Really. There is cheesy stuff -too much hearts!- but, but... OMG. It's really cool. All this work done in so little time, the guys who did this video deserve a huge applause.

I've never been a huge fan of Muse but last year's performance at Glastonbury was really, really good imo.

Did anyone watch their performance at Glastonbury this year? They sound & look absolutely fantastic live!

Awesome indeed! Thank you very much, can't wait for tomorrow night. I should have started watching U2 earlier, great show :)

This! :lol: I just don't know why he keeps saying the job thing :blank: The money thing in Germany was so funny. I would pay to see Guy's (especially Guy's) Jonny's and Will's faces at that moment :D And the fucking thing in Violet Hill was pretty cool too :wacko:

I like the fact that it's, like they say, overproduced. It fits the era, and they're clearly doing something different, something new. And this definitely proves to me that the new era is NOT mainstream music. Whether you like the song or not, you just definitely don't usually hear stuff like this on radio.

You use your heart as a weapon, and it hurts like heaven. Cheesy, but not difficult to understand. And I guess it's a kind of an oxymoron?

Well, you asked what my favorite song was, so I had to vote ETIAW. Nothing to be proud of, but I've got to be objective about my subjectivity. And I'm not defending a band I like here, I just have to admit that I totally enjoyed hearing the song 200 times in the weekend, even if it has weaknesses. Now if you'd ask me which one is the best song, I'd probably have picked Imagine. Actually I'd have picked all the other songs, except Paranoid Android (kidding, that was just to piss off Odvan)

I missed their set too but I just got their album and definitely like it :wacko:

I finally voted Major Minus.

A french review, sorry if my translation isn't 100% correct :P Coldplay: il est bien ce nouveau single non? Coldplay est devenu très gros. Il faut s'y faire. Ce groupe ne jouera plus que dans des stades ou presque, dans des grandes salles, à la manière de U2. Alors le nouveau single de Coldplay est à sa hauteur. Grand, gros, XXL et...plutôt réussi. A la première écoute, pourtant, les ficelles sont trop grosses: l'introduction synthétique, puis le couplet taillé pour être repris par 80 000 personnes - au moins - en concert. Ce serait donc juste un single, fait pour passer en boucle à la radio, pour être fredonné sous la douche. A la deuxième écoute, "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall" se revèle plus subtil que ça, avec sa montée en puissance assez enivrante, sa guitare biniou (appelez cela comme vous voulez, moi ça me rappelle le biniou) assez entêtante, qui revient en boucle et son introduction qui serait donc pompée sur... "Je vais à Rio" de Claude François ou plutôt la version originale de Peter Allen "I Go To Rio". Coldplay l'assume sur son site, sans doute pour éviter toute accusation de plagiat. Une drôle d'idée, alors, pour un groupe que beaucoup imagine désormais trop formaté pour être honnête, face auquel il faut se déchausser pour ne pas salir en interview (je sais, j'ai testé). Mais rien que pour cet emprunt inattendu et ce qu'il en fait, le nouveau Coldplay est réussi. Sans parler de l'essentiel: "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall" est une excellente chanson. Coldplay : nice new single, eh? Coldplay has become really big. You have to get used to it. This band is only going to play in stadiums or huge halls, like U2. So the new Coldplay single is huge too. Huge, big, XXL, and... rather good. When you hear it for the first time though, it's a bit obvious : the synthetic introduction, then the chorus made to be sung by 80,000 persons -at least- in concerts. So it would just be a single, made to be played repeatedly on radio, to be sung under the shower. When you hear it for the second time, "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall" is more subtle than this, with a rather intoxicating rise, a rather heady bagpipe guitar loop -call it whatever you want, it reminds me of a bagpipe- and the introduction taken from... "Je vais à Rio", by Claude François, or the original "I Go To Rio" version by Peter Allen. Coldplay assumes it on the official website, surely to avoid any plagiarism accusation. Strange idea, then, from a band that many imagine too formatted to be honest, a band in front of which you have to take your shoes off not to smear during an interview -I know it, I had to-. Just for that unexpected loaning and what the band makes of it, the new Coldplay is successful. Not to mention the essential, "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall' is an excellent song. http://zik-zag.blog.leparisien.fr/archive/2011/06/05/coldplay-il-est-bien-ce-nouveau-singlen-non.html?c

Bon anniversaire :dance: Fabuleux concert! :awesome:

It's between Charlie Brown and Major Minus but I can't tell right now. :shrug: After comes : 3. ETIAW (yup) / 4. HLH / 5. UATW I'm still waiting for a good quality version of Princess of China, probably at Glasto, so I can't tell for this one.

Could someone please explain me what's wrong with the name Charlie Brown? It's the 1st Coldplay song to be called with a proper noun, it makes it kinda special; and Cartoon Hearts is lame (well, it has the word "Hearts" in it)!

Thanks for all the links :awesome:

What? Charlie Brown is a faaaaaar better name than Cartoon Hearts for a song!!! Mine hit the floor and stayed there... still waiting for it come up again...

That was so epic. Major minus, Charlie Brown are incredible. LIFE IS FOR LIVING :stunned: Violet Hill, GPASUYF... I just can't believe it, I never thought I'd prefer the LP5 era (or should I say the Major Minus era) to the Viva era and I'm already preferring it after 48 hours. Unbelievable.

What the hell is this mess? :blank:

Hi everyone, joining the listening/watching party :awesome: Thanks for the links.

Totally agree. 'True fan' is a nonsense to me anyway.

Exactement. Et le pire, c'est qu'ils sont totalement sourds à des arguments comme ça. À croire qu'ils viennent ici simplement pour se défouler sur des fangirls. C'est triste.

Or to stand back on the situation and explain some behaviors. See, I'm not mad at Reilly anymore.

Nothing at all. But when people start despising each other, there's something wrong.
