Farin Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Band to give away live CD at gigs and as a download [smaller]NME.com | May 1, 2009 | Link[/smaller] Coldplay have confirmed their plan to give away a live album to fans attending their forthcoming tour dates. Chris Martin's gang will give the nine-track live album, entitled 'LeftRightLeftRightLeft', to all fans attending their 'Viva La Vida' tour dates – including their five UK dates set for September. The album will be available as a free download from the band's official website, Coldplay.com, from May 15. Coldplay's free album plan was originally outlined in February, when Martin said, "It's a way of saying thank you. It's a tough economy and people are paying a lot of money for tickets." The tracklisting of 'LeftRightLeftRightLeft' will be: 'Glass Of Water' '42' 'Clocks' 'Strawberry Swing' 'The Hardest Part/Postcards From Far Away' 'Viva La Vida' 'Death Will Never Conquer' 'Fix You' 'Death And All His Friends' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumboXL Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Coldplay has again been accused of plagiarism, and again for Viva La Vida. (The Sun, May 4th). This time it is the artist Yusuf Islam, formerly known as Cat Stevens, claiming that his song 'Foreigner Suite' from 1970 was plagiarized by Chris Martin cum suis. And, ehhm, does anybody get reminders of a Coldplay song when hearing Kraftwerks Computer Love ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 yes, you mean the song "Talk" the difference there is that they asked for permission to use the Computer Love hook... the guys from Kraftwerk also share writing credits together with Coldplay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scepticism and negativism really got a hold of me then, in these days of fast-bonus-grabbing scandals. Is it like The Stones dealing with k.d.laing, after discovering Anybody Seen My Baby was very much like a song of hers? Or is this writing credits sharing a more permanent agreement?

The Seeker Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) Songfacts says Coldplay received permission from the Electronica band Kraftwerk to use the main riff from their song "Computer Love" for this, replacing Kraftwerk's synthesizers with guitars, and at the same time creating a completely different song.

JumboXL Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Songfacts says I humbly admit not having checked this Songfact, before raising my voice. Only excuse I have: failing to remember/find out what the Coldplay song's title ("Talk") was, being not much of a Coldplay-fan. A great show of value for http://forum.songfacts.com , I'd say. Thanx for this correxion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 As if there were any other types -REAL Mulims ,I mean . I can't see why that wouldn't work : Get an educated and convincing CIA operative and have him walk around the dangerous parts of Pakistan pointing out and arguing in a 'heavely' manner and convincinly that others are NOT real muslims : A Congressional Medal opportunity , for sure ! By and large , Pakistan is full of susceptible morons, as is India . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
