Last night was incredible...the second time I've seen Coldplay and actually the best! And I didn't think I'd be saying that... Got some photos, the best are those during Up In Flames/Warning Sign because I was right on the barrier of the X Stage! The best part for me was during Viva La Vida...Chris came right to the edge of the X Stage and saw my stupid grinning face...he copied it, then I pulled a shocked face and he copied that! It was basically a 5-second funny face competition between us both during VLV! :D I'll try and get some pictures up for you all soon!

Fantastic! Thanks a lot!

Haha, oops - should've asked really, hope it's okay! - great picture by the way, went to the same concert at the MEN...first time I saw CP live!

I'll be there! Up early to get two trains and should be there for 1:30pm...that is of course if I can somehow find my way (walking) from Manchester Piccadilly station to the Etihad...! :D

Costing my sister and me £45 to get there by train :(

My MEN wristband starting flashing last week too! It was going off for a few hours in the evening and hadn't flashed since I saw them in December...very odd!

Let's take all the songs from Coldplay's albums, excluding EPs and so on (you can use them if you with though) - which ones could have alternate titles? Maybe you think the titles they've got are the best but I thought it would be interesting to see what different people may call each song...some I've decided not to change because I really can't think of a half-decent alternative name! Don't Panic - Beautiful World Shiver - Don't You Shiver Spies - Fugitive Sparks Yellow - The Stars, Skin and Bones Trouble - Spider Web Parachutes - Stormy Haze High Speed - Inside A Bubble We Never Change Everything's Not Lost - If You Ever Feel Neglected, Counting Up Demons Politik - Open Up Your Eyes, Love Over This In My Place God Put A Smile Upon Your Face - Where Do We Go?, Worse Than You The Scientist - Running in Circles, Science and Progress Clocks - You Are Daylight Green Eyes Warning Sign - I Miss You, Your Open Arms, Crawl Back A Whisper - Night Turns To Day A Rush of Blood to the Head Amsterdam - Time is on Your Side, Stuck on the End Square One - Future's For Discovering What If - Jump Over the Side White Shadows - Part of a System Fix You - Lights Talk - Let's Talk X&Y - Zero Theory, Outer Space Speed Of Sound A Message - Love Unknown Low - You Never Looked Hard Enough, Perfect Symmetry The Hardest Part - Silver Lining Swallowed in the Sea - A Hundred Miles Long Twisted Logic - Computers, Life On Earth 'Til Kingdom Come - Wait For Me Life in Technicolor Cemeteries of London - Night Over London, Ghost Town, God is in My Head Lost! 42 - Those Who Are Dead, Didn't Get to Heaven Lovers in Japan/Reign of Love - I Have No Doubt/Reign Of Love Yes - Temptation, Frustration Viva La Vida - When I Ruled the World, Never An Honest Word Violet Hill - December, If You Love Me Strawberry Swing - Cold, Cold Water, Miles Away, The Sky Death and All His Friends - Recycle Revenge, From Beginning to End Mylo Xyloto Hurts Like Heaven - Heart as a Weapon, The Streets Are Ours Paradise Charlie Brown - Light A Fire, Glowing in the Dark, Flame in my Heart Us Against the World - Chaos, Slow It Down M.M.I.X.

It's arrived now, slightly sad the joke I was mightily impressed with was so short-lived!

Now that we've got a nice range of five albums to choose from...which has the best title track? Parachutes A Rush Of Blood to the Head X&Y Viva La Vida Mylo Xyloto I'd have to say AROBTTH personally, but the order goes a little like: 1. AROBTTH 2. Viva La Vida 3. X&Y 4. Mylo Xyloto 5. Parachutes (yes I count VLV as the 'title track' on VLVODAAHF...if you count both then, erm, sorry...(!)

When you've ordered a Kindle a couple of days ago and when people ask you when it's going to arrive you make the rubbish joke of 'Til Kindle Come'... Sorry(!)

1. Mylo Xyloto/Hurts Like Heaven 2. Yellow 3. Shiver 4. Major Minus 5. The Scientist 6. Us Against the World 7. God Put A Smile Upon Your Face 8. Amsterdam 9. Violet Hill 10. Politik (B-Stage) 11.

1. Up With the Birds 2. Death and All His Friends / The Escapist 3. Everything's Not Lost / Life is For Living 4. Amsterdam 5. Twisted Logic / 'Til Kingdom Come

Wow that's tricky...Coldplay seem to be brilliant at nailing openers but I'd have to go for: 1. Life in Technicolor 2. Politik 3. Mylo Xyloto/Hurts Like Heaven 4. Square One 5. Don't Panic

For me there are a few which I think are excellent... 'When the future's architectured by a carnival of idiots on show, you'd better lie low, if you love me won't you let me know?' 'No I don't wanna battle from beginning to end, I don't wanna cycle or recycle revenge, I don't wanna follow death and all of his friends' 'Gravity release me, and don't ever hold me down, now my feet won't touch the ground' 'You'll tell anyone who'll listen but you feel ignored - and nothing's really making any sense no more, let's talk' 'Now the sky could be blue, I don't mind, without you it's a waste of time. Could be blue, could be grey, without you I'm just miles away' 'A simple plot, but I know on day, good things are coming our way'

Hi! I'm Jake, and I've been a Coldplay fan for some time...I probably started getting really into their stuff following the release of X&Y. My favourite song of theirs is Talk, followed very closely by Strawberry Swing. Nice to meet you all! :)
