So u no keed about the Britney part? :thinking: Mkay, r.e.s.p.e.c.t. Welcome. :D

Illuminati. :sneaky:

Both/impossible to choose. Clocks has better music, Speed Of Sound better lyrics. And they're not THAT similar. I want more X&Y songs on the MX tour, even though I understand why they left them out. They require a different kind of stage production. But at least add SoS!

I can't believe China is still that oppressive... :( I'm from Europe and they're at the moment the biggest band here. (And have been since X&Y I guess.) Well, older bands are more popular, but we're talking about active ones. I hear Teardrop and Paradise every day on TV, as well as all other songs when they came out.

You're so lucky... I guess those are just the perks of living in L.A. :lol:

@ bearcat1229 I'm sorry for being too plain, by calling it "faking". ;) I absolutely agree with you, those were my exact thoughts in case they really do play it live, including the "fifth member" theory. :D

I watched it too, a really really great show. I almost gagged on a banana when Bono said Coldplay are one of their biggest influences and that they raised the standards. :smug:

I voted for k.d. lang. :dazzled:

:D

Yeah, Will rapes those drums every time. He's not needed for Princess Of China tho. I hope they won't play it on the tour cause Chris sounds schizophrenic when he sings it alone. :D P.S. Who's Hoppy? :huh:

^ I'm downloading it at my own peril. :D I always study with music. But last night I was here and on 9gag way too long and I couldn't wake up on time to go to a class so I totally skipped that day. (Addiction.) :awesome:

Not if there is a God or any kind justice under the sky. :awesome: Maybe Amy and Tony... I think Paradise should win in its category, Teardrop should win best "rock" song, and Lotus should have been nominated for best alternative song, and win.

Wow, you really luv turning the music up and putting your records on... :awesome:

@Comicforce I didn't think of that looping thing, sounds totally rational! Btw, I don't doubt Jonny's abilities, of course he can play all the songs, they are not that complicated. I just wasn't sure if he can play them without the studio magic. Chris said that his husband Jonny really matured as a guitar player for MX. :awesome: Thank you for that Clocks video, it's the first time I heard it without drums, and it's still awesome. ;)

What do you think about Teardrop - Lotus head to head? Which one will win/which one do you want to win?

Hmm, imagine them doing a Pink Floyd kind of psychedelic song. Critics would defecate all over it. :awesome: No matter how good/bad it was.

I kinda wish they did at least one more song with that Spanish feel COL has. After the Latin America Tour they said that VLV was going to be influenced by spanish music. I like the African sounds I hear in Strawberry Swing and A Hopeful Transmission, can anybody else hear them? :) P.S. For me it's Up With The Birds I guess.

But how da fuck can you explain "Gimme Beyonce, Beyonce" from that CP performance? :inquisitive:

Thank you. I'm not that unsure about the piano/organ thing, I'm mostly sceptical about Jonny's guitar playing, cause it sounds too perfect, every riff is the same, so I don't know about that... But If more people confirm that he's indeed playing it live (those questionable songs), I'll respect them even more (if that's humanly possible). :D

OK, I'm gonna play this game by my rules. :cool4: I'll make a compilation of my favorite 11 songs from these 2 albums... Clocks The Scientist God Put A Smile Upon Your Face Politik In My Place Amsterdam Paradise Charlie Brown Hurts Like Heaven Major Minus Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall AROBTTH 6:5 MX BTW, why these 2? They are extremely different. And comparing anything to AROBTTH is considered blasphemy in 169 countries.

OK, I'm not saying they're Britney Spears who has never sang live in her life, I'm asking people who have been to their concerts and know a thing or two about playing an instrument (unlike moi :awesome:), what songs (or parts of songs) they just do on playback + sing live. For example, I think that VLV, Lost, Charlie Brown, parts of Paradise etc. are all almost 100% playback. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhKxtv1FiUM]Coldplay - Charlie Brown (UNSTAGED) - YouTube[/ame] Look at CB, obviously they're going to playback the alien voices, but if you look closely at Jonny, I think he's totally faking it. :confused: And does Chris really have a built-in organ or synthesizer for Fix You? I don't care if it's not all live, I just wanna be sure that I got it right. ;)

Cool, you'll gonna have to show it to us. :cool4: If I tried to do that, I'm sure I'd fail miserably. :awesome:

I don't know. I wanna know too... :) Paul McCartney also doesn't know, but they are still some of the world's best melodists. (Bono's words. :D)

OMG, go sit on the naughty chair!!! :angry:

The awkward moment when a girl tells you that Coldplay is too soft for her... :uneasy: :D
