Coldplaying Violet Hill Poll Results Included In BBC Online

busybeeburns · 30-04-2008, 01:06 PM

Coldplay's album Viva La Vida or Death and all his Friends is out in June

Coldplay fans snap up free single

There was "massive demand" for the new Coldplay single, available as a free download, which caused problems for some fans who rushed to hear it.

Violet Hill was made available from the band's website at 1215 BST on Tuesday.

A spokesman described the response as "incredible", adding: "Massive demand slowed everything down in the first 40 minutes of the download going live.

"But that was quickly fixed and Coldplay.com is delivering tracks to fans at full speed."

Violet Hill is the first material to be heard from the band's fourth album Viva La Vida or Death and all his Friends, which is out on 12 June.

In an online poll of 1,400 people on the Coldplaying fan site, some 60% gave the song nine or 10 out of 10.

The band are still to announce details of three free concerts - in London, New York and Barcelona.

Well done Ian, since the Coldplay site went minimalist we've been getting quite a bit of attention in the press, is nice and deserved with all the work you've put in over the years

Ohh, that's cool! Good on you, Ian. :]

gvargas · 30-04-2008, 07:23 PM

Nice! Congrats! This always has been a great board for all the information that it provides!

Space Cadet · 30-04-2008, 07:31 PM

Neato!

Glad there was lots of song love in that poll.

Heh... I've been so used to Coldplay being away for so long that I've gotten used to us being ignored. Guess we'll have to remember just how much of a fishbowl this place can be... especially now that this will probably be the main go-to board when the media wants random quotes. It happens

Hence the 'Coldplayers On Display' thread. Some of those anonymous guests may have been reps for the band. And you can bet if they didn't look in on us before this article, they will now!!!

Excellent work keeping this place going, Ian and Co.

Done by! Gum by! In a cave in the hills he dwelt alone, And meat was hard to come by. Up came Tom with his big boots on. Said he to Troll: 'Pray, what is yon? For it looks like the shin o' my nuncle Tim, As should be a-lyin' in graveyard. Caveyard! Paveyard! This many a year has Tim been gone, And I thought he were lyin' in graveyard.' 'My lad,' said Troll, 'this bone I stole. But what be bones that lie in a hole? Thy nuncle was dead as a lump o' lead, Afore I found his shinbone. Tinbone! Thinbone! He can spare a share for a poor old troll, For he don't need his shinbone.' Said Tom: 'I don't see why the likes o' thee Without axin' leave should go makin' free With the shank or the shin o' my father's kin; So hand the old bone over! Rover! Trover! Though dead he be, it belongs to he; So hand the old bone over!' 'For a couple o' pins,' says Troll, and grins, 'I'll eat thee too, and gnaw thy shins. A bit o' fresh meat will go down sweet! I'll try my teeth on thee now. Hee now! See now! I'm tired o' gnawing old bones and skins; I've a mind to dine on thee now.' But just as he thought his dinner was caught, He found his hands had hold of naught. Before he could mind, Tom slipped behind And gave him the boot to larn him. Warn him! Darn him! A bump o' the boot on the seat, Tom thought, Would be the way to larn him. But harder than stone is the flesh and bone Of a troll that sits in the hills alone. As well set your boot to the mountain's root, For the seat of a troll don't feel it. Peel it! Heal it! Old Troll laughed, when he heard Tom groan, And he knew his toes could feel it. Tom's leg is game, since home he came, And his bootless foot is lasting lame; But Troll don't care, and he's still there With the bone he boned from its owner. Doner! Boner! Troll's old seat is still the same, And the bone he boned from its owner!" Albums of the Year 2011 - Vote Here!
