Blue Nails

Agree with everyting you said. Yeah I heard more people saying the sound wasn't good. From where I was standing, (front left) the bass a bit too loud.. Oh they're on tv now. :D

Hey guys, here's my review :) Let's start with the bad things. At first I thought the system with the gates was great, that way everyone had a fair chance to see their favourite artist from a good spot. But. After waiting for two hours, packed in the crowd, the gates opened for Coldplay. And, like Ireentje and Raphaele said, we all got pushed from left to right, I couldn't breathe for a few moments and I almost lost it, thinking I was gonna die. People were panicking, crying, screaming... When we finally got through, I cried with relief and didn't even care that we had captured some pretty good spots... So, not such a great system after all. I'm sorry for anyone who suffered from the crushing crowd. I felt really bad for Elbow too, they did not deserve the gap at the front. Then, finally, Coldplay. They were a little late, maybe they waited for the sun to set. I'm sure it would have been a better atmosphere the dark, but it was a fantastic show anyway. I loved that they played Trouble. That song was the first time I heard Coldplay, as it was a bigger hit than Yellow over here. Chris looked and sang better than ever, if that voice get's any more beautiful, I won't be able to handle it. :wink3: Still very happy that Jonny also get's to steal the show for a bit though. The crowd had it's boring moments (Clocks, Yellow), not sure why. Maybe because it was still light, maybe because of the new songs. But there were also a few good singalongs (Scientist, Viva, Fix You) and the front was going nuts all the time. :D Charlie Brown is gonna be big. When Chris forgot the lyrics during Politik, I think he was trying to do a shoutout but couldn't remember what rhymes with 'Pinkpop'. :laugh3: I also think he fell during Lost, but barely anyone noticed as he kept singing. Good job, Chris.;) Ooh and the booty dance, Joke of the Day, I hope someone will post a good video because it was hilarious! :lol: Btw, if anyone thinks the confetti are still (partly) butterflies - they're not. The X's are slightly butterfly-shaped, but they're definitely not the butterflies from the Viva tour. Unfortunately I didn't get the chance to meet with any of you guys... Big chance we got crushed together tough ;) Hope to see you in the future! :kiss:

I would really love to meet you all, but I'm also going with other people so I'm not sure if I can.. :( Well, hopefully see you tomorrow (aah tomorrow already??!!) and have a great time!! :D edit: Btw, are you going for just the Saturday, or Sunday and Monday too? I'm going for three days, so I'll get back on monday night. Looking forward to see how big this thread will be by then ;) And thank you Chloe, I'm sure we will :nice:

No I think that (and Viva now) was from Rock Werchter, but before The Scientist they played Charlie Brown :stunned::D *back on topic*

OMG Dutch people, are you guys listening 3FM?? Please do. You won't regret.

So does Chris have three arms? (lower right corner) :lol:

Ow I really really like their new look, they all look great! (even with pink pants :wink3:) And I love the walking man during HLH. Aah I just love everything and I'm getting extremely excited for Pinkpop right now!! :dance:

Aaah I'm also very excited! :dance: Yeah I hope they will wait until it get's dark... With all the neon colours and the lights and the firework....:\ And I'm gonna use my elbows to get front row, so beware....:sneaky: :lol:

So that's in an hour :stunned:

:lol:

My first three :rolleyes: :D Yeah it's pretty hard to keep up....How does everyone get drinks/use bathrooms? Do you all have butlers and diapers? :P :lol:

Seems like Chris recognises the amount of influence twitter has. Smart move, silencing all the rumours by typing one sentence. :cool:

Don't Look If Butt's on Your Head?

Aahh how did I miss Chris' tweet? :blank: Anyway, sounds great!

Ooh nice find! :stunned: Isn't there also a Scarecrow in the Batman series? I remember a guy with a bag on his head and he did something with hallucinations..?? Creepy character...

Or maybe this one: http://www.3fm.nl/socialradio/app But I think you should be able to at least listen live here: http://radioplayer.omroep.nl/3fm

Yeah that's awesome! I went w000t :lol:

:) Good 'fun summer songs' definitely do, like Strawberry swing, but I'm not sure about this one. If it's for me to decide, I'd say no for now. But let's leave it to the band :smug: Edit: Btw, this morning it came on the radio (it's everywhere on Dutch radio) and I actually got goosebumps. So it might seriously be growing on me....:sneaky:

Well, they should release it this summer. Playing new songs without releasing an album doesn't make sense, right? Right?:anxious:

I love this song :D

Maybe because they have a cartoon heart? :p

:o Oh right! I just thought of Major being 'huge', but it's also music-related of course! And Minus could mean something negative, don't you think? Like a downside to something. Just like you can say 'that's a plus', you could maybe say 'that's a minus' ?? :thinking: Yeah we need a native speaker. ;) So, for sure there's a lot of meaning to this title. I wouldn't mind LP5 being called Major Minus. :D

^ It does, and it could even relate to Chris saying 'working for someone you don't like', if EMI really pushed them to write a hit single.....

^ haha you're right! :laugh3: I was hoping it might have been the new song Phil tweeted about ;)

Voted 7 as well. For a Coldplay song I think it's not great, because we're all used to Coldplay being brilliant. But like some other people said, when you accept it as a 'fun summer song', it's pretty nice. I do love the guitar and Will's ending.
