Haven't really heard too many 'B-sides'. The only one I don't quite like is Idiot, too crude / clumsy-ish. (but then what I heard was a live version of it - their studio version may be much better - witness the difference in Amsterdam before and after they recorded it on AROBTTH :P I always shudder when I revisit that earlier concert recording, thank god they improved on it and made a studio version... Coldplay can be 'horrible' if they try: hard work, perseverance and effort can really be lifesavers :D ) I like all their 'folksy' songs that I've heard so far... I Bloom Blaum, See You Soon, Lost Highway Wonderful :D They are all very beautiful songs. The only thing is that they are not quite Coldplay??? :huh: Though I'd ask the people who would say so to reconsider... :D That'd be a cool direction to go. Green Eyes is great. All the other 'B-sides' are great too. I'm dying to hear Ladder To The Sun, Crest of Waves, Easy To Please :) And I definitely agree with CM saying the band are a studio band :D

Haha, you betcha. Count me in :D

Yep, I hear ya :D :lol: :lol: :lol: Wonder whether that's what coldplay have been doing all along :D Neways, I don't care. It works for me, I don't think that makes me a bad person more than any other :lol: Besides, charming people are much better to look at than persons trying to fucking piss people off half the time anyway :lol: :D Btw, love ur avatar dionisio (the one with the moonwalking / smoothdancing stickman :stunned: ) :lol: Thanks, mimixx, lovely article :D

Didn't hear what he (Chris) said, and I'm not from America, but I do think it's time somebody had the courage to say certain things that need to be said... Or at least had the guts to say what's on his/her mind, popular / inflammatory or not... :) (Btw, don't mean to offend neone - sorry if I have; also haven't actually heard what Chris said, though I'm sure the words won't go down well with mainstream America) :P Go Chris! Go Coldplay! You rule. :lol: :lol: :lol: Here's to free speech and speaking up for what you believe in! :D Peace. :kiss: :)

Chris: "This here then gentlemen, is what we call a MTV Award. You’ll only get it if you..." Jon: "Yeesh, why is Chris taking off his jacket again? Does he think he’s good looking or something..." Guy: "There they go again. Forever going at each other. *sigh* If they only knew – they think they hate each other but they are so in love..." "Now why doesn’t anybody love me? Me???" Will: "Darn, there goes my photo op.! Imagine the newspaper headlines tomorrow – 'Will obscured by MTV Award' ..." That's it for now. Hope you guys have enjoyed it so far :lol: :D

And a couple more (before I disappear off for the next couple of days / weeks)... C ya guys, love ya! Y'all a lovely, lovely bunch :D :D :D Gonna miss ya :cry: Johhny (to himself): “Arggh, I’m just so tired with Chris going oonnn and ooonnnn about himself. Chris, give it a rest...” Chris: “Yeah, as I was saying, this is so f*cking amazing, we...” Will (to himself): “I don’t know how long I can keep this to myself... That girl in the crowd over there keeps making hilarious faces at me. I think I’m gonna laugh.” (his egomaniacal half) “No Will, this is YOUR chance to shine for the camera. Give your most serious look. Concentrate...” Guy: "*sigh* This bunch of idiots... When will I ever be rid of them? Hey, there’s something interesting...”

Guy: "Oh God no. Not another Boyband shoot! Arghh, this is getting frustrating..." Will: "I swear I'm gonna strangle the photographer if he makes me walk down the street one more time! If I ever find out the idiot who came up with this photoshoot idea, he's gonna be dead..." Jon: "Hey, is that Gwyneth I see over there? Oh no, gotta get Chris back, gotta get Chris..." Chris: "Oh, man, I look cool, I look so damn f*ckin' cool! Wait till Gwyn sees me..."

"Haha, yess!!! Finally made Chris disappear (only his bottle is left)! Go Guy go! Gotta look cool... Oh God yes, I look like a guitar god don't I?"

"Aww shit! Guys look! The aliens are coming, the aliens are coming..."

"We make a pretty good Westlife impression, don't we?" - Jon "See, if I just lean back a little here.. Guy just needs to relax more... Will, stop frowning, smile... Chris, Aww shit Chris, you totally lost the plot... this is not a rap photoshoot, stop pretending to be Eminem!!!"

Some more coming... Chris: "See, there are exactly four of us... One, two, three, four..." Guy: "What's that asshole doing this time? Trying to teach people to count???" Jon: "What's with his fingers? Eww, looks like he tried to bite them again. Yuck!!! Stop it will ya! Why Chris, why? Those beautiful nails..." Will: "What's that on the back of his hand? Let's see... M-a-k-e-T-r-a-... oh ok. Make Trade Fair! Oh, not AGAIN! Give it a rest, will ya Chris? I'm tired"

But aww, but you are!!! Keep this up, let's all keep this thread alive. :lol: It's the best antidote to a bad day, never fails to put a smile on my face :D And I love the 'pressure point' one :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well here's one pix of them together... from their Moses video. As usual, they're phenomenal together :rolleyes: :lol: :D Too bad the rest of the band's there as well :lol: (jk :stunned: )

Johnny: " I uh... I..." (speechless) (fakes a smile) "I'm gonna kill you Chris for saying that. You just ruined my chances of becoming the sexiest man of the millennium!!!" Chris (on and on): "You see? It's inevitable - we just totally adore each other..." Johnny (darkly to himself): "Just you wait Chris, just you wait.."

Chris (ignoring Johnny's less-than-delighted face): "You see, the truth of the matter is, I can't help it, we're in love." "Johnny, you've been so good to me. Oh, especially in bed..."

One month later... Johnny: "Really Chris, you gotta stop doing this..." Chris: "Doing what?" Johnny: "Well..."

Johnny (grinning widely): "I'm so happy we finally won this award..." (Gets interrupted by Chris) "Eww... What's this wet thing on my ear..." Johnny: "Chris, stop licking my ear..." Chris: "Ooh Johnny, I can't help it, you're sooo delicious... Mmmm, let me get my arms around... You lovely, beautiful, boy..."

Some more coming... Chris (smiling through gritted teeth): "Come closer Johnny, come closer... We need to show the world how good we are together" (Grabs Johnny) "Get your fat arse over here..." Johnny (to himself): "Oh no, he's coming, he's coming... Be steady now. Just keep smiling, the cameras won't notice..."

Oh, you can say that again, definitely... *sigh* :D

Aww... Thank you *blushes* :D The pix (with Chris and Johnny) was taken during the 2002 Q Awards :P
