VLV VIDEO COMING SOON!

[iPsy]

That's what Coldplay have said!, I can't wait to see it...

[coldpatrix]

Where did u read this info?

[iPsy]

i had subscribed to Coldplay's mailing list, and they sed it in the e-mail i was sent!

[girl_in_the_band_tshirt]

oh I got that too.
whatever 'soon' means :P

[Denise]

Ahaha I had the same reaction while reading the newsletter..can't wait :nice:

[coldpatrix]

me too...

[Bonus_mosher]

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Stefan-C8]

Good news!

[Magnus]

Great news

[Lore]

yay :dance:

[ricardo]

I hope they meant what I consider "soon", 'cause in 2007 they said the new album was going to be released soon

[RunForTheHills]

SQEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Please please please let it have some kind of a story to it... :D

[Death Hill]

Well, better late than never.

[Starlight]

:dance: This is going to be a gorgeous video!! (I hope!) :nice:

[Mimixxx]

I hope so, with it being Anton I can see it being a bit weird again :P

[LiivinLaVida]

for some reason i hope its exactly like the Itunes commerical.

[iPsy]

i think I have seen it...well, here's the story:
I was searching for Coldplay videos on Limewire and it came up with Viva La Vida- Official Video Leaked, I downloaded it and saw it...and in my opinion- IT WAS AWFUL!... It was a load of 'big kids' messing aroung with sleges down hills and stuff like that, it was boring and didn't feature coldplay at all- I REALLY hope this wasn't the real video, because it sucked!

Any one else seen this one???

[procrastinator]

they really ought to get it out soon - seeing as the song hit number one in the usa and the uk.

i'm a bit ashamed to be an australian at the moment....viva la vida (the single) only managed number two here...it's behind jordan sparks and chris brown, "no air"....*pukes*

[Daekr]

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=dDFkRMNeZo4&feature=related
a commercial for the video

[iPsy]

that's not the video, that's an iTunes commercial, which features the song...lol, no worries, that's NOT the video..
thanks thougH!

[Daekr]

oh,, hah i liked that one :P

[iPsy]

lol...so do many people...hopefully we will get one EVEN BETTER!

[Blakeb155]

really?
has anyone else seen this?

did it look legit?

I'm praying that this video isn't crap... I really want them to nail it cause its such an awesome song if the videos a dud I will be annoyed.. :stunned:

[Daekr]

yea that what we got, hope!

[iPsy]

it didn't look legit....but I'm not sure.. I tried adding it to YouTube but it wouldnt work

[footyfan10]

its just got to be a story for me...akin to the scientist. i mean this is the most blantantly story telling coldplay song there is.

when i finally got the lyrics i had all these images rushing through my heads. i mean, i know its not exactly cool to do a video where the lyrics directly eqaul what happens, but i kind of wish it happened that way.

i imaged chris martin on the streets talking to some kid, sweeping them, and harkening back to the days when he was king. with great epic visuals for a great epic song.

[Chavi]

dont tell me you're picturing Chris dressed up as a king with a crown and stuff.. :lol:

OMG! Same here! and that is why I will be dissapointed if it doesn't go my way, lol. I picture the video going with the lyrics, and on the chorus 'Chris' is running around a massive field, jumping about, pretending to be a king- swiniging a globe, holding sword and shield, looking at his reflection in the mirror- i had the WHOLE song planned out, lol- I know it's sad...but if it's nothing like how I have imagined it, I will make it with some m8's and put it in YouTube, but when I picture it I kind of need Chris!...Does anyone have his phone number? lol...or maybe I will make a trip to the bakery!

[Magnus]

dont tell me you're picturing Chris dressed up as a king with a crown and stuff.. :lol:

Hehe, that'd be sort of like Depeche Mode's ''Enjoy The Silence'' video :lol:

[Pseudonym]

for some reason i hope its exactly like the Itunes commerical.
Itll probably be the same as far as instruments, Chris hand motions, etc. but Im expecting different background and colors and stuff.

[Chavi]

I take note ! :lol: Dont even think of ditching us !

[Ebs757]

just downloaded and watched the supposed "leak" on limewire. No way it is real

[iPsy]

just downloaded and watched the supposed "leak" on limewire. No way it is real

yeah, that's what I thought- IT IS SOOOOOOOO BORING AND BAD ISN'T IT!

[Ebs757]

yeah, that's what I thought- IT IS SOOOOOOOO BORING AND BAD ISN'T IT!
Yeah but I gotta say its not bad for someone probably just trying to re open some lost videos and such.

The wait for this video is taking forever!! When will it be here! :veryangry2:

[Open, Politik]

Hurry up Coldplay, I think theyll take till mid-July for it to come out. Its a really summer song and I think they want it to be played in the summer alot!!!

[Mig-El]

I think it would be better if they do not hurry that much, let's give time for each single so that they do not stop playing the videos on tv that soon, we got to squeeze as much as we can off them

[Cobalt]

they really ought to get it out soon - seeing as the song hit number one in the usa and the uk.

i'm a bit ashamed to be an australian at the moment....viva la vida (the single) only managed number two here...it's behind jordan sparks and chris brown, "no air"....*pukes*

Indeed *puke*
It's the highest they've gotten here, curse our terrible mainstream listeners. They lap up what they're fed - crass songs with phat hiphop beats. Blegh.

[Carlaatje]

I heard Coldplay Filmed the video with anton corbijn the day after the secret gig in amsterdam (june 5th) They supposebly filmed it on the dutch beach Scheveningen.
So I guess that's a no on the fat kids...

I also read an article about some guy who ran into Chris at Den Haag central station while they were filming for the video
( see this site http://www.ad.nl/denhaag/stad/2354269/Fan_oog_in_oog_met_Coldplayrsquos_Chris_Martin.htm l)
So maybe Chris will be sweeping the streets, he was dressed in his revolution suit anyway.
They also said they wanted it to become their best video ever. But you know they probably say that for every video
check this video for an interview in english

[Cris_Santos]

^Thanks! Can't wait to see this video! I have high hopes it'll be much better than the Violet Hill one :D

[Magnus]

And this is also an unique opportunity to see what does it mean when Coldplay says ''it'll be done soon'' :D

Seems ''soon'' is longer than 2 weeks at the moment...

[ricardo]

yes the violet hill video sucks

[iPsy]

I quite like the Violet Hill video!

Im sorry, is that supposed to be bad?

In America, it's currently 4th behind The Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, and Katy Perry's "I Kissed A Girl". That makes me sick.:sick2:

[coldplayGeorgia!]

violet hill is not bad

waiting for Viva La vida *Trembling*
:)

[Dark K]

What I expect is Martin walking through some part on France (beautiful landscapes) or Paris, singing the song, and sing the part "That was when I ruled the world" on a top of a rock at the sea shore.

[Glossal Fragster]

i would like it to be an animation! :laugh3:

[iPsy]

Here's the link to the 'apparent' video, I have no idea if it is real though, I HOPE NOT- IT IS TERRIBLE (In my opinion)...
http://current.com/items/89005477_viva_la_vida_music_video

[Carlaatje]

I seriously doubt coldplay would make a video giving a description of how to giftwrap a house, when it normally said make trade fair....

[IgnitedBones]

I'm just glad they're making it. It's such an awesome song and tells a great story; it definitely needs its own music video.

nah that cant be real...........and im sure that site's just for home made videos and that

[A RUSH OF VIDA]

it should be made already cause....if its not its gonna be long before they do it cause there touring and dont really have time

[.Jeanfr.]

maybe they will shoot the video next year :P, cause god i'm already bored waiting for that video.

[Open, Politik]

Five days left right. Lets have a countdown people!!!!

[RedGirl76]

Five days left right. Lets have a countdown people!!!!

Did I miss an announcement? How do you know there's only five days to go?

[CPRani]

Yeah, I was wondering the same? Where did you get this news ?

[Open, Politik]

Because it gets released or something???? I thought the video will also come when it comes out!!

[ItsRobin]

5 days from now? Ive already seen it...silly mtv performance. Don't get ur hopes up people..you will be majorly disappointed.

[Chavi]

Yeah, I was wondering the same? Where did you get this news ?

from Emi music Brazil
http://www.coldplayzone.it/_articolo.asp?id=1649

hope it's true ! *fingers crossed*

[footyfan10]

i dont see why it wouldnt be true.

what im worried about is how bad it will be. i say this because the song lends itself to this kind of epic theatrical video, and you know coldplay wouldnt do that because the fear of being too pretentious. sure no one likes someone who takes themselves to seriously, but come on.

[CPRani]

Thanks for that! I really hope this is true though!

[procrastinator]

how much longer until this is released?

apparently anton corbijn is directing it, if anyone's seen "control", he's an amazing director.

[Magnus]

Well, acording to that article 2 posts above, it will be availible July 25th

[Pseudonym]

2 more days then!

(maybe):dozey:

[tom043]

i'll bet the video will be just like the one Itunes showed us. Itunes did the same with the speed of sound video before that one came out , it was exactly the same as the official one.

[FieryCoD]

i'll bet the video will be just like the one Itunes showed us. Itunes did the same with the speed of sound video before that one came out , it was exactly the same as the official one.

They already said it was going to be filmed with a beach.

[A RUSH OF VIDA]

i hope it really amazing

[procrastinator]

Well, it's currently 1:53 p.m. in Australia, July 25th. Any word on the Viva La Vida Vid?

[iPsy]

I don't no!!!!!!!!!! It's 9.39 in Britain on July 25th!

[Bonus_mosher]

does it come out today?

I've heard nothing.

I don't think it is.
I'm not even bothered anymore
they've screwed up and waited too long.

might aswell just bypass it and release the lovers in japan one

well I've just scoured the internet and found nothing of credible source.

but it HAS been on youtube, and has been removed from EMI.
so, who knows, somebody out there has it.

I found a link, and the video had been removed due to copywrite of EMI.

besides it said in brackets (official viva la vida video, not itunes commercial)

[Cris_Santos]

Folks, please don't get too excited. I live in Brazil, I read the news and posted it in this forum. The guys from Coldplayzone messed it a bit. As I said in the other thread:

"EMI Brazil said the video will be finished around July 25th and must reach stations in August (as I said before they're probably talking about Brazilian stations, where videos premieres are usually delayed). So if nothing has changed, my guess is we'll have the video early August. We're probably not getting anything today."

Thanks, but why are they taken soooo long, the momentum is nearly gone and there will bw no point!!

[Knotty]

Well, I read somewhere (I'm SURE of it) the wording that the video would be 'available' today.

Probably means on the official site.

Put it this way: if they wait 'till August they're IDIOTS (their marketing people, that is)

They'll sell more singles if they release the video today and it's on music channels by next week.

Yeah I agree with you. Maybe they planned it to be released in August but never knew how popular it would be getting to Number 1 in America and England without it being officially released.

This Sucks Ass!!!!!!

[Viva la Vida~LiveLife]

We will be waiting forever....

[procrastinator]

viva la vida will be off the chart by the time this video comes out!

i don't see why they didn't release the video WITH the single. or did viva la vida get to no. 1 in the US on itunes downloads alone?? *sorry, you'll have to fill me in*

Yes just on downloads, I think various not just Itunes

[Fixed]

I'd love to see a video for this where people actually storm a palace and overthrow the king and graffiti VIVA LA VIDA over the paintings. I really love that image.

[Dcullsjp]

Does anyone know when it's coming out? I thought it was supposed to be released late july? Thanks

[footyfan10]

no one knows dude, we thought july 25, that came and went...apparently it was supposed to be finished then

so august more than likely

According to EMI Argentina, the viva la vida video premiere will be next august 4th or 11th

I can't wait, even when Viva la Vida is not my favourite song on the album !

Actually that's from the Lovers in Japan page (http://i38.tinypic.com/2u4psox.jpg) in the tour program, so it's probably not in the video for VLV. :\ But who knows, maybe it's in a future LiJ video! :D

Are they trying to fool us? :lol:

[coldplay_is_louve.]

huh.

dunno.

BUT I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS VIDEO!! :D :dance:

[Pleaseman]

Listen the song between 0:50 to 1:20

http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=CMcjXo8ZuqE

I like Coldplay very much, I follow them from Parachutes and I like very much Vivalavida, but this is a plaggio.

Actually, we've been over that already...really only a set of 3 notes is noticeably similar, and the tempo for those notes is a bit faster than in VLV. (Plus he's using a guitar instead of his voice.) It's not enough of a similarity to be more than a coincidence; there are a lot of songs out there.

You username is great, though. :P

the pic is great anyway :embarassed: :D

[Bonus_mosher]

I think those pictures are all quite obviously from the lovers in japan video,
because the butterflies are used.
as they are when they play it live.

I could be wrong though.

[Carlaatje]

they have used the butterflies during vlv at the mtv awards, and somewhere else.. jay leno or something?

[Viva la Vida~LiveLife]

So on the 11th of August?

[domscientist]

I hope it comes out before
hopefully on august 3 (it's my birthday:P)

[polkahard]

I'm really starting to think this is part of a surprise launch of the new Lovers in Japan single/video. That page from the tour book is too enticing, and honestly, I think the ship has sailed on a VLV video. If they wanted it, it should have been out about two months ago. It's already faded from #1, so what's the point?

My two cents, anyway!

[Pleaseman]

And what about the similities between Lovers in Japan's music and this?

http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=FK2IAyCuJ4U

And what about this??

They didnt release VLV remember, VLV got to No1 by suprise, no one knew it so when they planned it around August release they couldnt do anything if the song got up in the charts and who cares if the times gone and VLV is down the charts, I wanna see a FUKIN video. You dont need to release a song to get No 1 and have a video, thats silly but where Coldplay fans, we shouldnt care about sales figures or No 1s or whatever, I would be soo glad to see the video!!

I'm not disagreeing with you, but the corporate machine of EMI is probably demanding another proper single by this point. One that hasn't hit #1 in both the US and UK already.

[RadioMad]

It would be silly if their biggest hit to date didn't have a video, innit?

So hell yes, I want to see a video!! :D

[Lauve]

I agree with you Professa95.

Then Arcade Fire would sound like Talking Heads, and Yes like the Velvet Underground, LIJ or Strawberry swing like the Beatles and Stone Roses, and Lost! like Adam and the Ants and there is a of lot Peter Gabriel, U2, Jon Jopkins and Eno on the album, and...

Who cares ? Coldplay have their own sound and their own approach. And it's brillant.:)

Yes, Life in Technicolor...

I'm a little dissapointed with all of this, but I like the album.
Yeah,

You're not winning any points by trying to force a comparison and stir up some controversy out of nothing. Look at it this way: there are only 7 different notes in a scale before the scale starts over again an octave higher. There are sharps and flats in between, different number of notes per measure, lengths of notes, different keys, etc., but what I'm getting at is there's only so much that you can do with music. And music has been going on for the better part of human existence. So to chastise someone for not coming up with "new material" or "original content" is kinda pointless, because after a while, there is no more original content. Like the other guy who thought Coldplay copied their song and turned it into Viva la Vida....he admitted that both of them could have copied off of Zelda's Lullaby from The Legend of Zelda series.

[Pleaseman]

"I agree with you Professa95.

This is what Martin is looking for, that people recognize Lovers in Japan like a Coldplay sound., not like at Arcade Fire sound... and the same with 42 (the second part is 100% Radiohead).

Repeat, I like the LP, I like Coldplay, but I think that there are some dangerous details in this album.

[ZapShazam]

You have to look at this from a business viewpoint, guys. Viva la Vida was huge, IS huge. And it did really well without anyone expecting it to.

Now, what would a video do? Generate more interest in the single. More interest equals more downloads/purchases. It's brilliant on EMI's part, and even better for the fans because we finally get a freakin' video.

Yeah,

i bet you could find loads of songs that sound similer to all the songs on the new album....but thats music for you...these sound nothing like lovers and LiT and Yes....the onlything similer to Lovers and the Arcade Fire song is the the drum beat...and thats only because its going at the same speed as Lover in Japan

I think people should stop trying to find and waist there time trying to find sound a likes for coldplay songs becos its kinda getting annoying

well yea, its a similar speed and its the same time signature. But thats the only thing. I can't see how that can be seen as ripping off. The drummer has to invent and use drum beats that match the song... and two drumbeats from different songs from hundreds of artists out there might just sound similar.

On Wikipedia it says the video is suppose to premiere on yahoo music on the 5th of August.Dont know how true this is but that would be pretty awesome.

[domscientist]

Which one do you think is better?

[*CoLdPlaY.4.EveR*]

I like second version really, but the "oficial" vid is Youtube:

I quite like the second version - it has a bit more whimsy to it, even if it is a complete rip-off of Depeche Mode.

The first one is nice, but a bit blah. The Delacroix imagery comes through nicely.

[Denise_1994]

I love the second version!

[holycatfish87]

Ok I'm kind of confused what are the two versions you guys are talking about? Is the first version considered the iTunes commercial?

[holycatfish87]

Nevermind I am an idiot, I should of just checked their website.

The second version is a lot better and it's cheesiness is great, when the first video is trying to be serious and just comes off as cheesy.

[Mig-El]

why does everybody likes more the second version, I think the first is a lot better, I wouldn't like the second to be the one on tv

[Lauve]

I agree with Holycatfish totally and that is just why I would not want to see my favourite one on tv..
