how did you buy your cd??

[jewl*]

i got mine given to me on Easter from my sister. i told her how i liked this 1 song yellow i heard on the radio and i wanted to know more about them. when i got it i wasnt really thrilled(i was wanting Enya). i left it on my bed for 3 days. i still remember wanting to hear yellow and ripping it open right before i was leaving for school. hee, hee i was late too!! i ran to my room and heard the song when i got home that day. i thought it was good and decided to listen to the rest. i remember a warm sunny day right before my mothers surgery! *feels good* oh well

enough!! what about you?? im wondering if anybody went throught somthing simular to mine!

[bozo]

good topic!
I got mine after hearing Yellow on the radio. It was my favorite song but I liked it enough for me to download some songs off the internet. I remember really liking Don't Panic... so I went to the store and saw that Billboard said it was one of the best albums of the year so I said, "what the hell?"

I haven't stopped listening to it since.

[bozo]

where you from jewl? I have to ask cause your quote "Everybody makes mistakes sometimes.." is from the dallas show that I was at.. are you from tx?

[';']

i'll answer that for her if she doesnt mind..yes, she is from tx. i tried to get her to come to houston so she could meet coldplay, but she couldnt make it :(

yay for all the ppl in tx who are on this board...now i dont feel lonely anymore :D

[';']

the first song i heard was shiver...i dont remember what i was doing or what was going on but it was chris' voice that attracked me and jonny's guitar. i went out and bought the cd like a week later i think because i was addicted to the song and wanted to hear it more. now i love it all :o :D

[Professor Peedston]

god it's been so long i don't even remember buying it, but i do remember that i had to wait for it to be released in the us because when i downloaded "shiver" and got hooked, it was only available in the uk.

[fifi]

i bought mine after i saw yellow but then i heard shiver and loved both of them so i went out and got it :D

[Guy'sChick]

ive bought parachutes as soon as it got out in amsterdam and my sis gave AROBTTH to me as a prezzie :D

[Sternly]

I lent it to a friend and she took it to Argentina and she "lost" the cd there.......... I went to buy another one and it wasn't on the store, and that happend me like 5 times, then I spend the money in some u2's demos for my sister and we went to another store and there was Parachutes, and I didn't have any money left.............. (another day) I went to the cinema and before the movie started I went to see If I could find Parachutes again............ again 4 stores and nothing. After the movie I went to another store and there was a Queen DVD so I bought it ( to my brther this time) and then I found a cd tore, and there was the last Parachutes and again I didn't have any money left .......... (another day) I went to a store and it wasnt there, I looked everywere and it wasnt anywere so I bought Norah Jones cd and guess what I found then......... Parachutes and Yellow..... again I coudn't buy it............... As a bday present ( a bit early) a friend bought me Parachutes, unfortunately is not the cd version, is like those old "cds", black, huge, round things called "vinilos" here and is like an old tipe of cd, I don't know If you know about what I'm talking about............. So I have it, but I can't listen to it.....( Nt very usefull) ............. After all that I'm thinking that for some reason god doesn't want me to have Parachutes :?

[paulabenson]

I got mine for Xmas.....when it 1st came out...whenever that was?

[Chrissy]

okay here is a long post:

the first time i ever heard ANYTHING was on a commercial for some festival where this strange guy was running on a beach and i thougt 'what a bleedin' idiot, he looks like a geek'. (im almost sure i have posted this before :shrug: ) so i didnt hear anything for a looong time. then one magic day me and my family were in our summerhouse and i would listen to some of my sisters cd's and i thought this brown one looked ok, and i layed out in the sun and heard it on the discman. i heard one song and reconized troble and couldnt stop listening, so i listened it through over and over again constantly in 2 days. when i got home i ran out and bought it right away!
So everytime i hear some parts of the album i can still remember being on the portch laying on a sunchair with the sun on my face and a calm breeze in the air. LUFELY!! I get all emotional now... :cry: :D
just thought of posting a thread like this, strange...

It was worth it - lurvly story! Very sunny too!

I didn't even hear Parachutes until after I'd become addicted to CP through AROBTTH, and hearing the single - In My Place - just once. Then I discovered that my son, George, had the CD of Paracutes given to him - SIGNED BY ALL THE BAND NO LESS - by Chris's little bro, who he's at school with!! What a shock! :o What luck!! :D

[Guy'sChick]

ugghh my eyes are tired of reading that lol!'

[shangrila]

I remember seeing the Yellow video on t.v., I liked the sound, but I had to leave at that moment so I didn't finish the video and didn't catch who was singing. I did cross my mind that the guy looked dorky and the video seemed boring. I later heard Yellow on the radio and I would sing along every time I heard it, but didn't buy the CD 'cause I often buy CDs for one song and the rest of the songs suck. Anyways I later heard Trouble on the radio and thought that 5 for fighting sang it, cause they play the piano in the song Superman. Finally, one day I was up late doing homework when a live performance of Coldplay plays on the radio and they start with Yellow, then play Trouble and I was like, oh my god its the same band, I'm getting the CD. They also played Shiver and I loved it. This performance was around Dec. 2001 and I couldn't get Parachutes for X-mas cause all stores were out, so I finally got it for my B-day on March 2002 and I GOT HOOKED FOR EVER! :-D

[Sweet One]

I remember seeing the yellow video on Much Music..I had a feeling that they would get big... :)

[Chrissy]

You should be a talent spotter!

[busybeeburns]

Someone at work bought it and I said who the hell are they, then I heard Trouble on the radio and went out and bought it myself as well :D

[Chrissy]

AND THE REST WAS HISTORY :D !

[';']

Someone at work bought it and I said who the hell are they, then I heard Trouble on the radio and went out and bought it myself as well :Dand look where you are now you have one of the best coldplay sites out there!! i bet you would have never thought that back then :D

[Jewelee]

I got mine a little late, I was watching this 2 dollar bill concert on mtv last summer and i fell in love so i ordered it off of BMG but i just learned that they dont get any royalties if you buy it from those places like columbia house and BMG, so i kinda feel bad about that but im sure they dont mind :-D

[';']

that was a good performance right. haha i saw it...i think it came out in august. dont remember. they were showing it really late at night last week. did you watch the 120 minutes when coldplay were on it?

[Jewelee]

yeah it came out in august, unfortunately i dont have MTV2 where i am right now so i didnt get to watch it last week, i think it was on MTV 2 right?. Anyways, it was a great performance and i wanna see it again cause they perform a cool version of life is for living.

[Chrissy]

yeah it was MTV 2 i swa it to... i was a little sad that there was only 1 guy freaking out, and the rest was like 'erm....ok...'. But the one guy was funny :D

[Jewelee]

i dont remember that one guy freaking out but i remember the crowd not being too excited about it, i know i would go crazy.

[Guy'sChick]

yeah it was MTV 2 i swa it to... i was a little sad that there was only 1 guy freaking out, and the rest was like 'erm....ok...'. But the one guy was funny :D

[*Justine*]

[itay]

well i kindda liked them but just heard them from time to time on the radio or saw them on MTV. then i went to Canada to visit my uncle before i joined the army (not that i had a choise) and saw Parachutes on the CD's store. couldn't stop hearing it since then....

[sky]

quit now while you've got a 100% record :D :D

luff Kirsten

[Angela16ne]

I can't remember buying Parachutes
and thats kinnda strange lol
But I got AROBTTH last year wen
it came out at HMV! - my fave store :)

[Guy'sChick]

oooh i can remember it as it was yesterday :P :)

[badlydrawngirl]

well, I didnt really like them at first, I just remember seeing the vids for Yellow and Trouble, and thought who's this strange geezer singing his depressed little heart out?
then I fell in love with Yellow, and I copied Parachutes from my mate. At first I only listened to the songs I'd heard before, then gradually I listened to them all, and thought wow, this is kinda...... GREAT, so I took it upon myself to actually buy the real album, and I even paid £17.99 for it WAY too expensive, but I wanted it that much. and consequently, I used to listen to it almost EVERYDAY without fail :D

[Guy'sChick]

:D

[badlydrawngirl]

what I typed was really long :stunned: :lol: I din't realise I'd written so much!
And yeah, the official mb is NOTHING compared to our Coldplaying home ;) :smug:

[twin4life]

well i heard in my place in a tv show i think and then later i saw the video for the scientist and in my place and i saw who it was by and went and downloaded some other songs by them.
then i LOVED them and went out and bought AROBTTH first and then when i had more money went to get parachutes. i bought AROBTTH first because in my place and the scientist were on it.

[BlissfullyMuse]

gud on ya girly....those r the best real life stories...sowy its 2:20 am here lol

[coldengrey]

I liked Yellow for awhile, but eventually it got on my nerves. :angry: Then I saw the video for Trouble and I was like :o "Who the hell is this!? It's beautiful!" I was shocked to see it was Coldplay. :stunned: So I finally got Parachutes for X-mas 2001. :smug: I had to buy it again when I got AROBTTH last August, cos I scratched the hell out of that first copy. :(

[badlydrawngirl]

:lol: I broke my Parachutes cover and had to get a replacement! :stunned:

[Guy'sChick]

OMG :o

[badlydrawngirl]

I was in such a rush to put it in my CD player it slipped out of my butter fingers :/ :lol: Coldplay has that effect on me

[Guy'sChick]

hmm and how did ya get the replacement...did it accidentely fell into your bag when you was looking at it in the store :wink3: :lol:

[Annabel Kristin]

Hey my lovely Coldplayers!!!! ;-)

It's a bit long story:

Since '98 we've a holiday house in England( before that we already made holidays in GREAT BRITAIN for approximately 13 years). So we went to England again one time to make holidays in Northampton (where our house is). In our cd player we found a cd.....it was PARACHUTES by Coldplay. Yes, someone has forgotten it!!!!! Months before that I always heard a very very beautiful song....now I know that it was Trouble.....I didn't at that time. I liked it soooooooooooo much that I loved it from the very first moment on.....we always heard it when just arriving in England. I found it sooooo nice with all the beautiful english country passing me by. Years after this story I knew that this band is the same as the ones who released AROBTTH. So that's the way I got Coldplays very very beautiful album PARACHUTES.......we took the cd with us,OF COURSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's also the way i got the Coldplay fever!!!!! ;-)



I love thinking of it years after it!!!!! I'M PROUD OF COLDPLAY AND THAT THERE EXISTS SUCH A GOOD REAL BAND!!!!! Their music inspires everyone and makes cry everyone.......I JUST CAN'T DESCRIBE IT ANYMORE!!!!!! THEY'RE JUST THE BEST.......


I LOVE COLDPLAY

[fifi]

wow good story!! lucky hey??? :lol: :cool:

[Annabel Kristin]

SORRY FOR MY LONG STORY!!!!

I just want to write that there were the front and back cover missing....but I got the ORIGINAL CD for FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! ;-)

I've now taken the front and back cover from the internet!!!! <--- SORRY I know that there are pictures in the front cover bookleg but is great, I LOVE IT ;-) because I've the ORIGINAL CD..............................!!!!!!!!!!


I would be sooooooooo angry if I would be this person who's forgotten the cd when you see how famous they got!!!!!

:lol: :cool: :rolleyes: :o ;) :huh: :D :P :smug: :wink3: :confused: :/ :stunned: :idea2: :sneaky: :kiss: :dozey: :blush:

[badlydrawngirl]

hmm and how did ya get the replacement...did it accidentely fell into your bag when you was looking at it in the store :wink3: :lol:


and just WHAT might you be implying there? :lol: :lol: nah, my sis had some spare empty cd covers, and she gave me one, cos I was so devastated :P

[LifeIs4Living]

well, I didn't like Coldplay at first because I thought that they we're stealing the spotlight from Travis! haha..(i know, i know) but anyway, I kept on hearing a lot about coldplay and such, and i never heard any of their songs, so i was like "grrr coldplay.." but one day i was just like "fine..i'll buy their first cd (which was AROBTTH) and see what all of the fuss is about" so i did, and i didn't listen to it..so i realized that AROBTTH wasn't the first one they had made..so i went out and bought their first cd (Parachutes) and on the way back home, i was listening to it when this song "Yellow" came on, and I realized that I've heard that song before and that I LOVED it, so that basically won me over and I wasn't so jealous of coldplay, and I fell for them..but I STILL love my Travis boys too, I learned that I could love both of them haha ;) :D

[Mojo Pin]

sweet!!the first band i really loved was radiohead ..back in 94' then travis and now coldplay...and of course muse.. i cant live without these bands in my life :P

[bart]

I had brought "In my place single " From me local Asda, they guy who served me said I gotta by the Album ,when it came out in a couple of weeks well that was the best advice I ever had.

I did however own the paracheutes album but I was still yet to discover that I would be in total love with this band !!! ;)

[mycdplayerisbroke]

a little thing called burning cds
saves you a good 10$

[Mimixxx]

I downloaded mine when it came out and then burned it to CD. But then there was a sale on at Virgin so I bought it. It saves you money to burn it, but I prefer having the real thing :)

[CityandColour]

With money.

[Mimixxx]

:lol:

[rf_ucsd]

I paid for my CD in taro and yams. I got it from some New Guinea traders who paddled their canoe across the straight to Cape York. I think they got the CD from the Indonesians and were using it reflect sunlight.

[twin4life]

:lol: :lol:

[bart]

a little thing called burning cds
saves you a good 10$

Its wrong. Support the artist

[CityandColour]

Yes, it is. Just buy the cd's already. If you can't buy it, then you shouldn't own it.

I'm all for downloading songs, but not full albums. Just to preview it maybe, or two or three songs isn't that bad.
