Oh please please please Brooke would you make a Guy version of this video it's great ! x

^this and I hope all members of the band get better very soon, perhaps a little over worked just recently? Hope Daddy Martin is recovering also xx

I'm loving reading all this defence for Guy :heart: :D

I wonder if Guy really doesn't like "Shiver" and "Talk" or if it's just easy to blame him for not continuing to include these songs because then fans accept it, albeit bitterly, and move on? :sneaky: It's not as if he talks that often to contradict Chris's claims....

surely there was a diet coke and a pineapple juice too? packet of organic peanuts even?

I've been flogging Mylo Xyloto pretty hard this last week so anything from this album although it's easiest to sing Charlie Brown or HLH whilst on training walks. VLV, Cemeteries, Clocks and Yellow all make the cut too x

oh thank you for these.. I hadn't seen some of them and found the ones where he's pulling a face very funny. The ones with Magne in bring back memories of when I first became aware of Coldplay and Mr B in particular :wink3: Lovely way to start a day

Only "our" Will could carry off a big pink heart on his backside whilst banging :drummer: a drum so masterfully :gorgeous:

Sarah, how did you save Coldzone's app because it won't save using Firefox :(

*knocks on Nicole's door* errmmmm please would you post those pictures Sarah's just told us about? Thank you very much pretty please :kiss:

Yes they are Lory: merchandise and appearance fees mean that this "adventure" is at least cost-effective and counter productive impacting on other projects. I wouldn't have bought Mew albums, or Coldplay B sides had it not been for Jonas's and Guy's involvement in Apparatjik (So Guy wins again :lol:) Profitable was an unquantified value in my original response.

Don't be sorry Caroline, I'm as pleased as you are if they aren't doing drugs, but techincally they are, with 3 of them enjoying an alcoholic drink or at least Guy, a quick cigarette. Yes how can you win? depends on what you define A DRUG to be and I'm sure that was pointed out to Chris by many more people than he'd like to contemplate when that statement was originally made, which is why they are now trying to move away from it.

surely him being more relaxed about it is a very good thing, just shows he's accepted that the magazine media will always be interested in his marriage, they are after, always interested in what Hollywood folk and band front men do. He's just demonstrating some of that growing up I refered to earlier, better for the children privately and have you noticed it's limited the talk about divorce since he's been more open but not alot of "meaty" answers has actually been said... perhaps this is part of the plan to get the magazine media to lose some interest in the situation.

Oh here's a statement for thought that's going to throw fans into deeper panic fuelled turmoil! "The world doesn't seem sick of Coldplay, but maybe they're sick of themselves." Entertainment Weekly review of MX They aren't going anywhere YET... they've still got to tour the album to make the money back :lol:

Thank you to Diane everyone who's posted capture from KROQ and the Today show, I wasn't able to watch the streams so it's great to see "our Guy" :hearts:

oh my days, this man is far too energetic for that time of the morning... he must have been running on coffee and adrenaline after such a busy week! phew

This would seem only fair now, as Chris is the major contributor of lyrics and music that he gets paid the lions share of the profits. It's not as if any of them are struggling for a £/$ or Euro any longer. Guy already has other sources of income in the form of his production work and Apparatjik and I'm sure they all have investment returns that will keep them warm at night. But why should Chris only get 12.5% if no one else is writing entire songs (the others get 9.5% for coming up with rifts, odd lines and turning up to play instruments but get out of the majority of interviews - not a bad way to spend your days) As for the drugs - personal preferences I guess, it's not just something exclusive to the entertainment industry so why should we be surprised? - they aren't physically inhibiting/injurying or endangering you or I so why should it be of our concern how they spend their money or obtain the level of relaxation that enables them to sleep of instance? After all Multi-vitamins and Cod Liver Oil are drugs too :o :P Opinions on such topics change for all of us as we "grow up" and that's all that has happened for these 4 men (just they've grown up in front of us and now learnt to be a little more coy about what they say) I personally hope that what ever battles they MAY have had either individually or as a band unit in regards to drugs are now behind them and that there is no longer a need to discuss this topic in the media. Isn't it funny of all the topics Chris was so vocal about over the years, the trivial ones are the ones thrown back in their faces... Lets talk about the progress of Fair Trade campaigns or the ongoing requirement of funding for Oxfam instead - I guess they aren't such emotional topics for magazine media these days. :palm: As for the music changing, they're damned if they do and damned if they don't. My preferences and infulences have changed in the last 10 years and I'm sure yours have too, so why shouldn't theirs? Their abilities, skills and experiences will also influence what sort of music they make. If they didn't move on I'm sure we'd all complain about how stagnant their music was and why should we buy another 14 songs worth of ROBTTH/Parachutes/X&Y/Viva * (SELECT your LEAST favourite) because what you love someone else hates and vise versa. So I can only imagine the guys have decided that they are happy with MX and can accept that they will both lose and gain fans with this piece of work. That after all is one of the guarentees in life. I hope they will remain together and complete the contract committment of 3 further albums refered to elsewhere on the forum today. The fact that more records fall to Coldplay (online presales record taken from Adele) can only prove as encouragement for them at such a physically and emotionally tiring time as album release week is. However I also wouldn't be surprised if a break is also needed to gain some space and prospective in life... it's a trend that appears to be working for other bands so MAY happen to Coldplay I'm sure it will be something we can all survive in the end even if it feels like the end of the world just now, after all remember those changing interests and preferences, there's always a new someone coming through to appreciate.

Diane those pictures are great, thank you for sharing. Especially that one of you and Will it's a keeper! :cool:

not meaning to spoil your crush Macky, he was a marathon runner in 2008, no confirmation if he still is? although his physic would suggest he is still training of some description didn't someone (sorry I can't remember who to quote them) say he was now experiencing hip problems, so he possibly isn't running quite that far anymore?

ROFLMAO so true, such a nothing answer, something I think they've become very good at answering with over the years... we hang on their every word !

Isn't the Box Club where the TruthAid event was held last month? certainly a place for the open minded :shocked2:

WOW, I'm joining those very jealous of you right now, sounds like a fantastic day yet again. Looking forward to seeing the pictures you took.

thank you for finding this little gem, so who's for a Berrychicks meeting one sunday lunchtime at the Horseshoe?? LOL

That sounds awesome Diane, saw you on the stream for the KROQ show so another wonderful view. Very lucky you! Hope you got loads of Will pics and even some of that dancing he did during Viva? Look forward to hearing all about it when you can type again x

thank you for the tip, will make another one as I've closed the page down and my butterflies wings were closed when I got the screen capture to work - doh! :rolleyes:
