Let's say if Chris was ever to be immortalised as a wax statue for Madame Tussauds or any other wax museum in the world- which pose do you think would be the most "iconic" to go for the final statue? Pick one pose for VIVA and one for Mylo Era.

Clearly tons of fake bidding going on. This is why they should pre-approve bidders credit cards before they let them bid on something like many other charity auctions on ebay..as some people think this is a game. This not only hurts genuine bidders chances to get something they really want - but also makes charity lose money at the end due to faux auction winners who don't pay.

I know this might be a long shot but does anyone know where I can find photos and videos from 29 August 2002: Forum, London, England gig?

Your work looks great but one thing caught my attention - You shouldn't use spray paints indoors and take all the necessary precautions even when using them outdoors, as paint fumes can cause serious health problems in the short and long term. Just do a quick google search on dangers of using spray paints.

I actually am at ASH#20 now. We were shown "Slashed" including all the Coldplay footage, which was hilarious and gruesome (!) Chris is very funny..and so is Jonny. SPOILERS Basically Coldplay was in 4 scenes. It's just Chris and Jonny though. First we see Chris and Jonny meet ASH backstage at a gig, second scene is set outside at night with Tim Wheeler from Ash, third scene we see them as agents, in this scene things go wrong and Jonny gets murdered by a zombie bride (by getting his arm chopped off) which is followed by a scene where Chris is trying to escape..but he falls as he tries to run down the stairs and so she axes him too! Both scenes involve tons of blood. :o:D

Thanks all for the pictures..these will help me tremendously with my little projext.

Perfect! Thanks so much. It was the last one you posted that I was looking for. If any of you have similar pictures of the same pose, or ones taken from different angles of it - it would be tremendous help. Thanks in advance.

Hello Coldplaying, I need your help on locating some referance photos for a little project I'm working on at the moment. Any photos of Chris leaning forward towards the microphone as he's singing..from Viva or MX era's. For example in Mylo Xyloto tour..after BTTF Theme and MX kicks in and Chris starts playing the piano going into "Hurts Like Heaven", he stands up leaning forward with his guitar dangling from his shoulder at his back, holding the microphone with his left hand and his right hand holding the guitar at his back with his eyes looking at right. There are couple variations of this pose like him holding the guitar at front..but it's all pretty much the same pose. Do you have any photos in your archives with this specific moment/pose? I tried to screen capture some videos..but resolution is basically not there. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Does anyone have an extra "general admission" ticket for the gig on June 9th? I just realized I mistakenly bought an extra ticket for June 10th show instead of 9th. :( I'll gladly pay cash, and will be able to meet up in Manchester to collect on June 8th, as that's when we arrive.

I just arrived in Spain, Jason arrives from San Francisco in an hour!

When I first heard the Paradise, "wheel breaks the butterfly" part sounded like "we all miss the butterflies". I immediatly thought it was a nice little tribute to VIVA era. Turns out it was not :D

I'm pretty sure there was another song between intro and clocks.

Let's continue.. 1) Confettis make a return - only in a different form..new confettis are shaped in X's. 2) Balloons make a return - in different colors..red, yellow, blue, green. 3) There were tons of new songs. 4) I LOVED the new song with walking man! Remember that colorful light guy walking in the teaser video..that turned out to be the background visual video for one of the new songs..and that song is amazing!! Not sure about the name - but as he starts to walk..than he runs..than he flies! Song is getting faster and faster. Loved it. 5) VIVA LA VIDA makes a return with a different ending..it starts like the usual one and ends with a slow piano solo of Chris. 6) In one of the songs..Will plays the piano and sings with Chris. 7) I love the new outfits..and I'm sure we will see many variations as the tour goes on. 8) New guitars have words written all over them..and some of the insturments are spray painted all over in grafitti. I just HOPE they are new ones though - and hope they didn't REPAINT the amazing VIVA pianos. 9) There were tons of new songs. 10) Fireworks were amazing. 11) Lasers..everywhere. Lights.. 12) New stage is so colorful..at first it's difficult to get use to..but once you see it with all the lights, pyros etc. everything blends well together. CONTINUE 13) Starting with Cemeteries of London..screens turn black & white and cameras focus on Jonny. Looks really cool. 14) After one of the last songs..as everyone is done playing..Chris stops..Guy and Jonny put away their guitars and Will continues fast solo drumming which sounds rather amazing. 15) Chris has new moves..full of energy. 16) There are certain pathces that looks like dream-cathers on the jackets..and those shapes are also used as lights on the stage. 17) Intro..is the best yet! 18) Outro..Every teardrop..I don't like the song yet..but i'm sure I will get used to it quick. 19) In my place..dance moves..great! 20) New song..not sure of the lyrics..but I think it was going somehting like this: I got one eye watching you, one eye watching you..Chris on guitar..great song. 21) Again i have to check my pictures - but if i remember correct its written "Shit happens" on one of Jonny's gutars. 22) There might be a second confetti shape variation besides "X" one.

Just back from the first gig. Here are a few details: 1) Confettis make a return - only in a different form..new confettis are shaped in X's. 2) Balloons make a return - in different colors..red, yellow, blue, green. 3) There were tons of new songs. 4) I LOVED the new song with walking man! Remember that colorful light guy walking in the teaser video..that turned out to be the background visual video for one of the new songs..and that song is amazing!!

I'll continue but got a flight to catch! Adios.

People - quick question for tommorow. Are there any lockers or storages to rent at the event for the bags? (small to mid sized luggage actually)

Thanks Natacha - here is a quick update:

Do you mean Rock Werchter "special tickets"? If so what's the difference between regular and special tickets? Front Circle Access?

I was able to locate Scotland tickets via UK sites - so while it's SOLD OUT - still not impossible to find. As Raphaele mentioned - looks like "Optimus Alive" is also SOLD OUT.

Hey Coldplaying, Did a quick recap of the European festivals we plan to attend this year with couple friends. Our list consists of 12 European festivals minus Glastonburry at this point. I spent around an hour going through each and every site and prepared this excel sheet. We are currently in process of arranging the dates, flights, trains, tickets, accomodation and other details between these locations. Some of these countries are totally new to us - so any tips would be much appreciated. Our list: - Should give you approximate estimate for GAT's. (General Admission Ticket) - Some festival ticket prices are set according to per-day basis. So in those cases we will only get day passes and skip other days of the festival in order to catch the flight/train to next Coldplay dates. Do you know of any Front Circle or VIP ticket deals for any of these festivals? Nearly all of the ones i checked today were listed as regular tickets. Since we go all this way - we would like to upgrade to any special tickets on any of these dates - like front circle tickets etc. So please list if you know any specials for any of these dates so we can upgrade the list accordingly. Hope this works as a guide to any of you planning to go any of these dates. As of today (May, 27) all the tickets were available for all the festivals besides Scotland.

Uskudar Amerikan sadece kendi mezunlari ve ogrencileri icin olabilir ama.

You just saved me 80 euros! I'll buy you a beer at the festival! Cheers :D

People - need some help here as sites are in German which I don't speak. I plan to go to both Rock im Park and Rock am Ring on 3rd and 4th of June for Coldplay only. Since they don't sell any day tickets - does this mean we have to get 2 x seperate 150 euro tickets for each show since they are at seperate events?

Ben Istanbul'a geldim! Cumartesi nasil hepinize?
