Technically its been on for almost a year already.

That would be the logical thing to do but given that they almost never change their setlist and the fact that they draw things out so long, i doubt it. Touring the whole year on the same album just really seems like a boring thing to do.

Seriously get a grip. Its so fake it borders on stupid.

Those skaking heads certainly make a statement :book2:

Good question. A video would be appreciated very much :)

Instead of touring for the whole year i really think they should either completely rework their setlist or (and i know they wont) do some low key and intimate acoustic shows. I just hope for the musics sake that they keep things fresh and switch it around a little.

I do agree with what you're saying, on the whole, but there are a few things that you have said that you dont seem to have thought about. Firstly, I agree with you on the choice of songs but judging by what you said I dont think you realise what the event was for. Although i dont think the song choice was ideal either, they were playing at an international charity event. I hardly think 'major Minus' would have been appropriate at an event about peace and development. (that would have been too bizarre) Instead they chose songs that seemed to be uplifting and popular, given that it wasnt their own show. And c'mon, i agree about Chris concentrating on his performance (which i agree was well bellow par) rather than jumping around but i couldnt really care less about what they wear as long as they try. As for ETIAW, you like everyone else is entitle to an opinion but at this stage it astounds me that an actual appreciator of coldplay can ridicule one of their most upbeat songs. (If you were complaining about all of the stupid backing tracks then i would agree, but not the song itself)

Indeed, you are right. :)

How about Don't Panic?

If only everyone in America felt the same.

Isnt it obvious by now that they have backing tracks with practically every song that they play???

I agree with you about HLH.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_BRIT_Awards#cite_note-2 Did no-one bother glancing over this? Most of you are embarressingly slow.

Yeah! where would we be without potatoes? where would we be without Coldplay??? :o

What a stupid question.

Im no expert, but from what i understand its all about building strength in your fingers and being flexible enough to reach all over the fret board, no matter where about you are playing or whether you use a plectrum or not. I think it makes sense to finger pick as much as possible though as you get a feel for what youre playing.

What is all the fuss about? the guitar part 40 seconds in is played from the backing track, has no one worked that out yet? 7 months into their tour???

Theyve been using the X symbols since june so theyre definately not new.

:inquisitive:

l know what you mean, it sort of hit home.

The drumming is actually quite difficult, especially if you dont have a metronome of some sort.

I dont know what he was talking about it being the worst, apart from that flamenco comment to Selma Hayek, (he probably felt like he embarressed himself alot) it was probably the best appearance hes ever given.

Is that tomorrow then?

'Gary earlier admitted he is also a huge Coldplay fan. The Take That star said: "If I had the chance to join another band it would be Coldplay, without a doubt. I'd move Chris aside, get him on the guitar." ' ...???

I think i'd have to agree with you.
