"t is funny how British press/people seem to be convincing themselves that the opening ceremony was "Brilliantly Barmingly British!!1" when it was just mainly embarrassing. On a positive, the shots of the unveiling of the industrial revolution were an incredible sight (Despite the entire theme being baffling), the torch itself was a beautiful shot, the Olympic rings forming in the sky was also special. However, children in beds dancing around a gigantic "NHS" logo, incorporated with the theme to the Exorcist? That was one of the lows, could probably think of at least a handful of others but overall, I was in stiches laughing several times, and that wasn't the intention (The most noteworthy when the Industrial Revolution business men did a little shimmy dance every now and then- oh holy fuck that was funny). I don't think it had to be a full 100% fireworks and fibre optic/visual effects spectacular like Beijing to be amazing, but I'd certainly take a relatively similar show to the shit we saw on Friday. The main thing that got me was how discordant the entire show was, the best example- they play Indie rock songs from the early 90's, up until about 1997/1998, then suddenly Dizzee Rascal comes out with a song from a decade later. WTF? No mention of 70s, 80s music (of course there were Beatles references earlier, I suppose that counts) and then it just skips out a decade to suddenly move on to grime music. Then they show a montage of further songs from the same period, and it cuts back to Dizzee Rascals video. It's like it was rushed together. It's like Danny Boyle had his iPod on shuffle." What a stunningly mongoloid review, must be written by a 15 year old, an illegal immigrant, or an American. You clearly have no idea about British Culture. "The entire theme was baffling". WOW, how much of a cretin must one be to not understand or be able to follow the theme? It was artisitic to set a backdrop of squalor and pain with SGT Pepper marching in, or did that confuse you too? "The exorcist theme". WOW another amazingly stupid comment. Yes it was the theme to the exorcist, so fucking what?! It's called Tubular Bells and it sold 19 million record in the UK Alone (more than any Coldplay Record). Yo also say that you disliked the musical choices, well I thought it was very apt for a British opening ceremony? If Coldpla had been picked I would have slit my wrists with embarrassment. I'm a huge fan but really, that would have been cowtaling to corporate-whoreism. "it was like he had his ipod on shuffle". Hmm yes, it was. How else would you syncrhonise 50 years of British Music without playing them all the way throught from start to finish. Boyle managed to capture all areas of Bitish Music covering all tastes and preferences. Even if you don't like it, Dizzee Rascal and Pop music is now integrated into British culture. Very ignorant to suggest that the 'shimmying of the insudtrial businessmen" was 'funny'. What else would they fucking do? Just Stand there? Has to be some kinetic movement otherwise it would be like Beijing's ceremony of box people. and on to the 'kids bouncing on the beds'. Do you know what GOSH is? I expect not, a very British institution that saves thousands of children every year from impoverished backgrounds and life threatening illnesses, often if it means they will die anyway. did you understand the literature bit? or as you like to call it "the Kids bouncing on the bed bit", astonishing. British literature is so encompassing, it was highlighted by JK Rowling who is also a fuckig mong and literally any other human would have been more deserving but it illustrated the more famous sides of British literature and how it resonsates with children and their imaginations. Go to fucking school, read a book, and watch it again, then you might be able to pick some stuff up.

And the NHS was given a fantastic tribute by the nurses of the real life NHS, What was wrong with that?

Yesterday i discovered that the oracle had answered one of my questions, my stomach exploded with butterflies!! My life is now 50% complete, and i feel like an elite coldplay fan :D wooo. Anyone else an elite like me on here? Ken from United Kingdom btw ;)

The Oracle Answered my question! Is what happened to me today one of the most satisfying things for a coldplay fan? The Oracle only went and ANSWERED MY QUESTION WOOOO! Even if it was a shit reply. Ken from United Kingdom by the way ;)!

'All the boys all the girls' is cheap lyric.

I for one am not liking this 'New Direction' of Coldplay. Its way too poppy. Coldplay were good for two things and they were creating emotionally rousing anthems and subtle acoustic numbers which made your hairs stand up. Unfortunatley now we are seeing that old pop trick which is repeating something to fill in verses for the sake of making a song 'catchy'. E.G.: "Wa-wa-wa-wa-waterfall" "Para-para-paradise". And this recent version of 'up in flames' He just repeats and repeats and repeats the same words, like Cheryl Cole would 'fight for this love'. I hate to compare the two, but Coldplay are heading down the shitter, and this a huge fan of the band speaking here. I know a lot of people on coldplaying.com will love them for who they are still, but if everyone's being honest, they are now another pop band. Minus Us Against the world which is incredible.

Its going to be tomorrow, the 8th of August. (mOnday)

No Shit Sherlock

i think they should start with Viva Or Yellow.

but we haven't heard good quality version of that song yet!

anybody out there?

Glastonbury The big ones coming up fast now!Excitement! Any thoughts on the set list? Part of me wants them to do a raw coldplay performance without the new songs, Glastonbury should be about the classics! thoughtS?

Ahh okay cheers man,Nothing to rave about then
