Holy crap I've never been this happy to see Will's face :'D :wacky: I just love seeing the band together more than seeing just Chris. Their friendship is so powerful and admirable. It never fails to make me grin or cheer me up.

? Don't really know if it's valuable information, but I found the following in this article about Grammy events/parties: Seems like they will attend some sort of after party? Maybe we'll get some photos of them there (even though it sounds like a private event for just the label and its artists). Let's hope for the best anyway. :smug::D

.

That seriously means a lot to me, thank you. :') It's not always easy, but Coldplay (and their fandom as well, I met such amazing people online) really helps. :wacky: Awww, thank you so much! That means a lot to me. :') I just wanted to let people know how amazing these men are. ♥

Someone on Twitter just asked me where Will was. :lol: Forgot to add that bit oops. One of the other fans asked Chris: ''Is Will there?'' and he just replied in that deep, Chris voice: ''I don't know, I haven't seen him today. He's very elusive.'' :lol: Before I forget: Phil was there too, he met the fan I waited with before I arrived at the Bakery. But I didn't meet him.

Meeting Chris, Jonny and Guy So... This might seem to appear out of nowhere, but I need to tell people about this. Because Coldplay are such... such amazing people. I feel like I'm standing on a soapbox saying this, but I need to give everyone this message. I'm so grateful for what happened. The only thing I can do to ''repay'' the band is to tell everyone how lovely they are. So that's what I will do. So, I guess it was a few years ago? 2010? Coldplay were already a huge band, but I barely didn't know anything about them. Clocks was my favorite song. I listened to Speed of Sound, Lovers in Japan, Viva la Vida... But that was basically it. And at that moment, I was dropped into this new school. And, holy-Martin-on-a-speedboat-backflipping-while-Wannabe-from-the-Spicegirls-plays, it was terrifying. Why was I here? What was I doing? Why did people like me? I've always had problems with social situations, finding it scary, but this was different. I didn't understand anything or anyone. Anxiety worsened. I got regular panic attacks. I cried on my way to school, I isolated myself, I couldn't sleep, I was shaking whenever doing homework. I was drowning in negative thoughts about myself. ''You can't do anything.'' In all my numbness, I started adding more songs to my MP3 player. I picked up every Coldplay song out there, and I connected to Talk and In My Place. I could relate to the lyrics so well. ''Are you lost or incomplete?/Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece?/Tell me how you feel/Well I feel like they're talking in a language I don't speak/And they're talking it to me'' And here's the thing about Coldplay music: they focus on positivity. If anyone ever gives you shit about liking Coldplay, just remember that. And so basically, whenever I felt unsafe and depressed, I listened to Coldplay. And slowly, I healed. My family supported me, my friends supported me, I got help and realized I had social anxiety disorder. And that's a few years ago. Mylo Xyloto was released in 2011, I watched the Madrid Unstaged gig, became an actual fan. Right now, it's 2013. I've achieved a lot of things since then. I've become stronger. And the thing about social anxiety disorder? There's never a moment where you feel totally relaxed, where your mind is empty. There are always those thoughts of: what if I'm annoying her/him right now? What if my friends actually hate me? Can I greet that person right now, without being scared? The only time my mind feels empty/relieved, is when listening to Coldplay. There are those interviews, right? Where Chris says he cares about that one person who has a better day just because they listened to their album. Seeing what Chris and the band themselves went through, and how they still manage to focus on positivity, those interviews struck a cord in me. So I wanted to thank them somehow. So recently, I was in London with my mom, it was a short trip and we wanted to visit some things and go sightseeing. Knowing how important the whole Coldplay thing to me was, she went along. We searched for +- two hours, quite embarrassing lol, because we just couldn't find it. But eventually, we did. We met another fan waiting out there, she was Spanish and waiting for Guy and Will. She was so, so amazingly sweet. We talked about basically everything, and waited in the freezing cold together. It was inhumanly cold. Half hour after arriving there. A sleek, black and beautiful car stops in front of the Bakery. Out of it, steps Chris. :dazzled: (I faintly remember saying ''I can't believe it!'' in a really bad Dutch accent) He didn't see us lol But after a few hours of waiting at the bench and another fan from Texas joining us, Guy and Jonny stepped out. It was weird seeing them, almost like time slows down and they appear out of magic or something. Like: wow, they are actually real. They were really rushed and busy, but they still took time for us, which was amazing. I remember Jonny being shy and not saying much, also he had a scratch on his nose which I found absolutely adorable :dazzled:, and I thought he looked tall. They said hello, they signed our album booklets... And Guy asked me the following questions: ''Where are you from?'' ''The Netherlands.'' ''Oh, where?'' ''Uhm, North Holland.'' ''Ooh, but where?'' ''Close to Amsterdam.'' ''Oh, cool! What's your name?'' I had to spell it for him, because he wrote it on my AROBTTH album booklet (!!!!). I remember the following exchange: Me: ''Tee. ('t')'' Guy: ''What?'' Me: ''Tee. Teeeeeee.'' Jonny: ''Tee.'' *laughing because Guy didn't get it*. After thanking them, and trembling and just being in shock, we waited for 15 minutes. And out came Chris. He immediately walked towards us, said ''Hi guys! What can I do for you?'' Then he shook all of our hands (his hand was really warm and nice). He looked amazing, I noticed he was wearing those sneakers with purple and pink laces again, and his love button (!) and it made me smile. Very shy/amazed, we just said: ''Oh, we would like to get a picture with you!'' And he was very sweet about the whole thing. He immediately said: ''Oh sure, yeah, yeah, come on'' in a very gentle way. I swear he oozed calmness and peace. :wacky: I was the third person to go on a picture with him. Everything happened in a blur. While watching him sign the phone case of the Texan girl, I suddenly remembered I had to tell him. So I started. ''Chris...'' And he immediately turned a bit towards me and leaned down (I'm quite short, he's really tall). He focused completely on me and looked me straight into the eyes. ''I just wanted to thank you for your music, because it has gotten me through a lot of rough times.'' According to my mom, (I zoned out for a bit, oops) he reached out, smiled, rubbed both of my shoulders, and said ''Oh thank you, I'm proud to hear that.'' After taking pictures with everyone, and signing everything, he had to leave. They were really, really busy and rushed. So he did- -but not before stopping himself, right next to me, reaching out to me again, rubbing my right shoulder, looking me into the eyes again, and saying: ''Thank you for your kind words, that means a lot to me.'' And he left. And I could tell my message got through to him, because he was sincere and grateful. And that, to me, was the most important thing.

:lol: I love this thread and I love Chris. :wacky: I should log into Coldplaying more often. Chris can pull off anything...

Found this and thought it was pretty awesome. Mind you, it doesn't show that much, but it's still interesting and fun to watch. Especially the control room shot, omg. So beautiful. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZ_0YaL8IUE]Making of COLDPLAY LIVE 2012 - YouTube[/ame]

Nice pics hehe :awesome: I feel the same way. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried/sad about it too. I get why they've moved, but... yeah. :\ Ahh, let's hope they'll work out something I guess. :')

^ *gasps* Oh no, what's gonna happen to me? D:

IS IT MIGHT IT BE WHAT I THINK- :wideeyed::dance::dazzled::omgomg: *squeals* Oh, sorry, I'm just so excited. :wacky: Ahhh. I better reply to all of your messages now... I'm sorry I haven't answered any of them yet, and I'm sorry I'm barging in like this. :( I'm not able to go on Coldplaying often. D: WHAT? :wacky: Thank you, that's so sweet of you to say! Especially since I admire your writing so much. Gee, I'm all blushy now. :blush: Ooh, I should... It's hard for me to do so though... But I'll try. I've got enough ideas already. :) I don't think I'm going to write more of Glow, I think I'll leave that one. I feel like it's finished, you know? But I'll definitely try to write this series I've been thinking of for a long time. :sneaky: Awww, that's okay! Yeah, it felt pretty sad... I remember posting it and checking this thread to see if anyone read it, but no one ever did. It's why I don't go on Coldplaying much, I felt ignored. :(

Here you go. I really hope you like it. <3 Also, I just realized April deleted every chapter of Fight For Every Dream, and I'm so, so sad. I absolutely loved that story.

Hi. <3 Marie, right? :wacky: Hope I can call you that! I like your writing too, btw. You can tell you put a lot of thought into it. :) I've pretty much read every Buckin fanfic out there. :awesome: Which is annoying sometimes, because, you know, sometimes you want to read more, but there isn't any. So I basically re-read a lot of fics, hehe. Oh yeah, I loved their work. :wacky: Brooke's especially, she's great at writing realistic stories. I really admire it. I write lots of Buckin too, and I once posted in the fanfic thread too, but didn't get any feedback on it. :(

I'm such a fan of Twisted Logic. I seriously keep checking the forum every few days to see if something has been posted. :wacky: Everyone's writing is really great. You should know that, okay? :hug: And Buckin is always great in fanfics! :D :sneaky:

Sorry about the very, very late reply, everyone! I'm glad you loved the video, it's so great to share this kind of stuff. :wacky: Ahhh, can't wait for LP6. Actually, I have some new Buckin right now. :awesome: Actually, it's from the MX era again, but I promised someone on Twitter to post it after I, uhhh, accidentally killed her with it :uhoh: You'll understand when you read it, here you go: :dazzled: It's from the SiriusXM Town Hall interview. :wacky: Ahhh, the silence of the audience when Chris is saying it, and Jonny's shyness. :wacky: So cute. If you wanna hear it, please let me know and I'll cut the audio and post a download link.

So... Does this article mean Chris won't be at the Bakery anymore this year? :disappointed: :( :cry:

Waiting for the new era also means waiting for some new, concert!Buckin, so I thought: ''Well, let's just watch random concert videos! And skip to In My Place.'' And then-then 10:11 - 10:26 happened. :dazzled: :dead: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyPzTRW6jJs&]COLDPLAY LIVE 2012 MADRID -1ª PARTE- FULL CONCERT HD: ESTADIO VICENTE CALDERON - SPAIN - YouTube[/ame] JONNY'S FACE AND LAUGH RIGHT AFTER :bomb::stunned:

(not sure if this is the right thread to post this in, forgive me if it isn't) I found this while searching Jonny on Google News: AH: The very end of “Pale Blue Dot.” Was the sound that carries through the vocals and then fades created via analog guitar effects pedals or keyboard? If so, which ones? DK: There are a fair amount of sounds on the album that sound like guitar but are really keyboards. I tend to play keyboards like a guitarist often and some of my influences as a keyboardist are Steve Hackett, David Gilmour, Steve Howe, Jonny Buckland from Coldplay and Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead. As a keyboardist I’d say I’m as much influence by their guitar playing as I am by Tony Banks and other keyboardist’s keyboard playing. Anyway, that said, it was probably more of The Who and Supertramp who influenced that intro and outro which was done on a Wurlitzer electric piano through some effects pedals like a Rotovibe, Vox Wah and Delay. I've never heard of this band before, but that doesn't matter. Seeing Jonny getting the recognition he deserves makes me really, really happy. :wacky:

I've missed this so incredibly much. Seeing Chris and Jonny on pictures together feels and has always felt so safe and comforting. Ahh, so sweet. ♥

Chris will always be gorgeous, but it looks so cute when he has those fluffy curls, and the short hair makes him look so much older :disappointed:

:escaping2: Ah, I just feel so peaceful when I see this picture. I know it's only a photoshopped pic (it looks convincing though) but when I look at it... It's like everything finally fell into place. They look that great together. Everything about them just screams soulmates, whether musically or differently. And I'll always be impressed by their love, you know? :wacky: Because it simply is love. They fit together. And they always will. :wacky:

.

My oh my Mr. Buckland :sneaky:

AND IF YOU GO IF YOU GOOOOOOOOOOO AND LEAVE ME DOWN HERE ON MY OWN THEN I'LL WAIT FOR YOU. YEAH. YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH HOW LONG MUST YOU WAIT FOR IT YEAH HOW LONG MUST YOU PAY FOR IT YEAHHHHH HOW LONG MUST YOU WAIT FOR IT FOR IIIIIIIIIT

*steps into thread* *doesn't want to leave, ever* :wacky: I already had a fever and now I have Buckin fever as well. And it feels like a mixture of :dazzled:, :rolleyes5:, :wideeyed:, :nod:, :blush:, :sneaky: and of course :wink3: who am I kidding I always have Buckin fever So close. I need some air. Some fic. vids. :dead: help
