Whoa thanks so much!

^I think he/she meant that you can't be considered the best if you can't even break into the radio or tv.

^ Ah she's lovely! I always hear people say she's pretentious and thinks she's all that, named her kid Apple for attention blah, blah, crapcakes. Flying Sparks I love your sig! I could stare at those two all day.. :heart:

A lot of people hate Gwyneth. There's a great celebrity forum I visit and practically no one that posts on the Gwyn thread likes her. I just checked it now to see what they said about the Golden Globes. Basically, trashed her dress and apparently, the way she said "An-tony" made them hate her even more. Which is ridiculously stupid, because Anthony Hopkins is British and that's the way his name should be pronounced. Some people are just beyond moronic. But that aside! I loved how she looked at the Globes. And she did a lovely job while presenting. She should've won dammit!

:stunned: Did she say that in the interview?

Aw preggy woman glow! She looks real nice. It's odd because I always thought Apple looked like Chris. But her and Gwyn look so much alike!

wub.. :heart:

Baby Gwyn looks exactly like Apple! So very cute. Definitely a bit weird how much her dad and Chris look alike, but she's said that herself. I think it's just the wild, curly hair. and maybe the "long muscles".. lol.

Thanks go to the lovely Corum for the vid :happy: 2005-06-01 CBC Newsworld: The Hour George Stroumboulopoulos chats with Chris & Jon - Canada http://rapidshare.de/files/11110868/2005___CBC_Newsworld_The_Hour___George_Stroumboulopoulos_chats_with_Chris___Jon_-_Canada.wmv.wmv

Ahhh thanks Nettie!! That's exactly where he pointed it would be! I'll upload the interview in a little while for you guys. :sneaky:

Wow.. I must have really hit a nerve! :lol: I don't mean to disrespect you stemot1978, but when you need to write an essay just to get your point across, it's a losing battle. I don't even think Coldplay is the best one yet you are so focused in bashing them as if I had said they were. Just as a passing note, Oasis will not become relevant here because of the words you write. Generally I wouldn't be so focused on the US, but my original comment was according to the US and frankly I don't see why I need to discuss Oasis' worldwide status when I wasn't not referring to it in the first place. They aren't as well recepted here anymore because of their arrogance (as said by A_Northern_Soul ) or whatever it may be, I. Don't. Care. Deal with it and maybe go heal your wounds with their supposed popularity overseas. U2 haven't gone anywhere, Radiohead haven't gone anywhere... the "best" spot should obviously belong to one of them. Coldplay though young band, are very well on top (along with Green Day and U2) right now. They definitely have a chance to become the best.. and hey another old Grammy won't hurt their chances, eh? :wink: I'm done here.

I was just watching this interview and the interviewer asked Chris about all the stuff in his hand, and Chris went into his fair trade thing and then said that he's going to get a small tattoo of an A in his wrist for Apple! So cute :heart: I think it would look nice if he got a little drawing of an apple instead though, kinda like the necklaces that Gwyneth wears. I can't imagine Chris with a tat for some reason.. :lol:

You enjoy both bands yet you say that RH is for "Indie 'I think I'm intelligent' kids in America" and then go on to say that U2 is for "whoever is into that". Excuse me for daring to assume you didn't think much them. :rolleyes: So with this you're saying that Americans don't like Oasis because they're not American and because they're arrogant? Pretty pointless thing to say but uhm, yeah..sure, whatever you think.

...this has nothing to do with which band is better. No one said it did. Someone asked above and I answered. It certainly means something, though. And yeah the American music industry is (for the most part) big shit, but Radiohead and U2 made it just fine throughtout all their 10+ year career. Not every band can do that and It really says something when one can break through the rap/pop garbage and still be remembered, despite the crap music. Oh hell yeah! You know I recently (like a week ago!) heard one of their songs (Endless) and I could not stop listening to it. That same day I went and bought Absolution and it's the only thing I've played since. Tomorrow I'm going to Best Buy and I'm grabbing any and every cd that says MUSE on it. I can't wait to listen to all their stuff.. amazing!

When did I say sales were not important? Coldplay as a young band still have a lot to prove and I wouldn't say they're the best because it's still too early. If you notice, I haven't said they are. I'm positive it's not Oasis, I can tell you that much. Recycling material. Changing band members. Lack of a buzz in the states.. they may be huge in the UK still but it seems like outside their fanbase, they've lost it here. I would go with Radiohead or U2, since they have accomplished everything Oasis has AND have managed to not have Americans forget them.. which is hard for alot of international bands. Oasis may sell because of the strong hold they had in the 90's, but you know.. they haven't even won a Grammy. Something Coldplay did on their first album. It speaks volumes how much more appreciated Coldplay seems to be here, compared to Oasis. I wouldn't give the "best" position to Coldplay because they're so young and the same thing that has happened to Oasis can to them as well. But they very well could be the best. They progress with every album, sales-wise, hype wise.. they've improved their skills with instruments, they perform better. It's all there. I don't see your "they're struggling to sell tickets" point. If anything, they keep adding more tour dates and more radio shows and programs and it seems like the demand is more. They certainly wouldn't be adding if it were going badly for them. As for your sales question, X&Y debuted here at #1, U2's HTDAAB debuted at #1 (sold more than Coldplay) and Don't Believe the Truth debuted at #12. It's not what I've decided in my mind, it's what I see. There were bad reviews, yet X&Y is still selling magnificently. By the way, If you're the biggest selling artist, most people would say you're on top right now. I don't understand what's so hard to grasp about that. Tour and Singles sales aren't very accounted for, Coldplay isn't a "singles" band and they've said that themselves many times. They're an albums band. That means a lot more (to me) than singles any day of the week.

Coldplay are on top right now because the world says they are. 'Nuff said. U2, Coldplay and Green Day were the top three selling bands in 2005..so...am I crazy to assume they're on top right now? Crazy along with the rest of the world? If you tell me it's not about the sales, then what is it about exactly? Because it seems like sales and sold-out concert times is all your Oasis comrades up thread can come up with. Coldplay/Radiohead/U2 touch people's hearts, they're music is inspiring to zillions and all three are acknowledged for what they are. Oasis did that in the past and sadly lost it. (Maybe Coldplay will too, who knows?) But it's really about damn time you came to terms with that.

Lord Almighty. Do you think that because you say "Oasis did this.. Oasis did that" it's going to somehow change the perspective and reasoning that I see with my own two eyes? I don't care what Oasis sold or how fast, You. Still. Hear. Not a damn thing about them here. Period. They have a fanbase, no one is saying that they can't sell well. They barely get any radio/video play and they're just irrelevant compared to bands like Radiohead and U2, who've also been around for years and years yet have managed to reinvent themselves in such a way that they can't be forgotten. Coldplay is still a fairly young band, but right now they're on top. Oasis is not. Quit lying to yourselves. And honey, selling out the Garden in half hour nothing that U2 and Radiohead haven't done or can't do. You can't deny that it's quite unjust to say Coldplay will "never" sell it out in half hour. Put your ridiculous fanboy bias aside for one freakin' second, and at least write truthfully. Geezus.

Soooo much better than I expected! But I thought it'd be terrible.. the way Chris went on about it. Amazing track!

YES! I'm not the only one then?? I personally HATE it when people write things like "X+Y" or "Cold Play" or "Swallowed by the Sea".. cunt :lol: And thanks coldplay9027! I currently have Google as me homepage so I'm gonna change it to that. Despite the freakin' capital P. :lol:

She definitely rocks.. thanks pat!
