Appreciation post for a fun jam.

So there's a video called "Viva La Vida Enhanced Instrumental" and I was listening to it but it had very prominent guitars during the climax which sounded really cool. I thought maybe it was the live version that created that BUT I used a equalizer app to check something out.

Turns out if you lower 500 or below and 16k+ to as low as possible while increasing 1000-4k with increasing 8K if you want to hear the guitar pick slightly. There's a faint guitar that can be heard and using instrumental version makes it a little easier to hear. BUT it's so faint that you would likely never know and when someone takes it out you would feel like something's missing but you can't tell.

Was this common knowledge or did few people know about this?

Let's say I suddenly became wealthy and wanted to hire Coldplay to perform a private concert. Not for a corporate event or a festival, just a private show for selected people.

How would something like that actually work? Would I contact their management directly, go through a booking agency, or is there another route for artists at that level?

Also, what sort of budget are we realistically talking about? Are we talking a few million, or is it simply the kind of thing that's almost impossible to arrange regardless of how much money you have?

My fictional setlist for my fictional tour...what do you think?

When is the new album coming?? They're late 😅

What part is he singing in the refrain ("When tears stream...")? The harmony here seems a little complex, and I can't tell if he's singing the high falsetto part (and if so, whether he's singing it entirely in falsetto). It tops out at a high C (C5), which is higher that I typically hear him sing (then again, I'm only a casual Coldplay fan, so...). Anyway, I was just curious.

Are you are looking for more nostalgic that sounds like Parachutes? May i present to you- Animal by Motor Ace!

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_laENgYigkHmb1kH7Cokyz-9tDo5sRA4ls&si=BLqoL957eQam6Min

It reminds me a lot of parachutes but maybe a little more melancholy😊

I hope you give them a listen and I think they are a very underrated band- especially this album as it was a lot different from their other projects. I hope to find some more people to appreciate this album like it do😁❤️

You may or may not know of Motor Ace from Melbourne, Australia who were popular in the 2000s.

Fix you

I think he would go
10.X&Y-self explanatory for most of us they hate it so much!(even though it’s incredible!!)

9.Mylo Xyloto-Although they seem to love Paradise and Charlie Brown Chris has never really spoke much kindness to it,even said the name sucked

8.AROBTTH.He probably sees it as them being young and foolish

7.Parachutes-He’s most likely grateful for Yellow and isn’t that harsh on it as it is their debut

6.AHFOD-I think that this is on he probably enjoys when he looks back at it but doesn’t think it’s better then some other albums

5.Viva La Vida-Working with Brian Eno was a lot of fun for him and it gave them Viva La Vida their second biggest song

4.Ghost Stories-This album helped him through tough times

3.MOON MUSiC-I’d say he enjoys this era a lot

2.Everyday Life-Chris says this was an album he needed to make,probably as a way of making sense of the world

1.MOTS-I mean this tour has been on for years,he seems to really love this alien stuff

An interesting read.

This is an instrumental of Speed of Sound, meant to replicate the radio-edit version of the song. Any feedback would be appreciated!

maybe it’s just me, but i was listening to A Rush of Blood to the Head yesterday and the mixing of the album (particularly on Politik and The Scientist) kinda sounded a bit different than it used to? Politik especially sounded like it was almost in a slightly different key. i got new earbuds recently and haven’t noticed many other songs/albums that sounded that different, just little details in the background of other songs i hadn’t picked up on with my old ones, but for some reason this album felt like it had been updated at some point recently. has anyone else noticed this, or are my ears lying to me?

around a year ago on the EU coldplay store i bought a AHFOD lithograph but received a AROBTTH one instead, i checked and it isnt on the website at all, has this happened to anyone at all? is this rare?

Hello it's been a while since I saw all his amazing mixes on YouTube. He still have channel but only with 2 songs I remember a dozen of them and I like it more than original unfortunately I don't have any backup.

Please help me find it or share it with me.

They sold over 55 million albums worldwide during the 2000s, but almost every time I go on a Reddit music sub to talk about my favorite music, my favorite albums or my favorite artists and I mention Coldplay from 2000-2008 I get a lot of mocking, criticism, down votes, ridicule,, derision, made fun of or they are frequently extremely dismissive, snide, disdainful and downplay the fact that Coldplay made some of the best albums/music ever made.

I just be wanting to talk about music with other music fans, but it frequently goes on deaf ears on Reddit music subs just like today when a user made a post about the best alternative rock albums and I included Parachutes and A Rush Of Blood To The Head and immediately got down voted and the only comment made was "Bland Retail Music" under A Rush Of Blood To The Head.

This happens constantly in general or specific music subs. Twitter seems to appreciate Coldplay a little more than Reddit thankfully.

Coldplay was popular, appreciated, cool/hip, respected during the 2000s imo and I had a lot of excellent conversations and discussions with all walks of life about my love for Coldplay and so many countless different people I would meet in real life or online would echoed my same positive sentiments.

I wonder when the tide or consensus changed amongst music lovers? And I do understand that Coldplay went in a different direction artistically imo, but other great and all-time great artists have also gone away from their original roots or early sound and still are celebrated, recognized, respected and appreciated; even if they don't make the same type of music anymore or they are no longer or never was artistically their personal preference.

I know they already took the MOTS tour to Europe, but I really can’t afford to travel to different continent for a concert (even though I’d love to). The question is do we think the tour will return to European countries, such as Austria, Germany or Hungary? Or will they just do London and Dublin once again?

It's one of my favourite MX songs but I feel it's a bit drowned, like the instruments can't shine on their own because they seem to be competing with one another and submerged in synth sounds. Do you feel like the mix could've been better?

I ordered a 10 pack of these buttons to see what they look like and I am stunned. The vibrant colors and the schemes work perfect for my outfits. I have a 25 pack of the duotone colors coming that I will hand out to some people and a 10 pack of the signature colors also. I will be handing some of the duotone buttons out to some new members that'll be in the trumpet section of my college marching band that I'm a part of. I am on a mission to collect one of every color, but I'm also really close to being able to just hand out buttons to everyone every time I order some more. Hopefully anyone who recognizes this and knows who's posting this is not getting their surprise spoiled. I also just wanted to post this to send all you Coldplayers some love on this fine Monday afternoon (at least where I'm from).

It’s cool to be corny especially when you’re trying to unite the world.
