Hit By Scalpers? The've Gone Hi-tech...
I'd rather they clamped down on fake scalpers first. This fraudulent method involves people viewing bidder lists at eBay and contacting people on them to offer off-bay sales when they don't even have tickets to sell. These are also becoming increasingly more technical, I've recently gotten emails that look like 99% genuine ebay emails, including SquareTrade (a buyer protection scheme) confirmation emails. They ask for you to pay by bank transfer, knowing that there is no buyer protection in this instance. There is an (even) worse method too. Some people are hijacking others' accounts and using them offer tickets for sale. Below is a link I have been sent in an attempt to get my eBay details. DO NOT ENTER YOUR EBAY DETAILS HERE! http://mytransactions-squaretrade.com/login.html The real login is http://mytransactions.squaretrade.com/login I think, so you can see what they've done by purchasing a similar url. (Actually, due to my complaints to the real SquareTrade, it has now been removed.)

A-Z of artist names
anyone else get the feeling Bart is stuck in the "Next band begins with the last letter of the last band" (catchy name) game? I'm willing to forgive this once, but only because he has Manic Street Preachers lyics in his sig ;)

What do you thing will/won't make the setlist?
say about 18-20 songs will be played each night, how do you think the setlist will have to change from the previous tour? staples: Trouble (though I wish they'd play the 'rocked up' one at least once) Yellow The Scientist Clocks In My Place Shiver likley: Politik Amsterdam Everything's Not Lost Don't Panic God Put A Smile Upon Your Face new songs: Speed Of Sound White Shadows What If A Message Square One plus at least 3 more from X&Y I'd say a slight variation on these songs will be played most nights, any opinions?

Comparisons
I don't remember reading or hearing anything saying Feeder were copying Coldplay.

Comparisons
it annoys me more that they label them as 'sounding like an early U2'

The White Stripes
I hope they do a European/British tour to follow.

I'm hoping they don't sell the two British venues before I have a chance to get a group together.

favorite lyrics on a coldplay song?
that is, assuming shiver is the one with the line: "and it's you I see, but you don't see me and it's you I hear, so loud and so clear..." ? Sorry, I always get Shiver and Sparks mixed up.

favorite lyrics on a coldplay song?
Amsterdam or Shiver

Your List of Great Singers&their vocals.
James Dean Bradfield has the best 'harsh' voice in my opinion. Bono, though, has a voice, especially in U2's prime, that sets him aside from any other vocalist.
-
best music dvd's?
U2 - Slaine Castle, Dublin 2001 The Led Zeppelin one is awesome too although my actual favourite is a bootleg: Muse - Glastonbury 2004 a quick question whilst I'm here, of the three (?) Queen DVDs, which would you reccommend buying first?

Your top 3 bands?
I like how, now that someone has pointed out the fact that everyone was picking Coldplay, everyone feels compelled not to include Coldplay in there.

8 minute masterpiece
can someone please get rid of that smug smilie? Albie's probably killing the site's bandwidth with over-using it. Anyway, Coldplay1288, what do you mean by 'never heard such a thing'? Do you mean you've never heard an 8 minute long song before?
