[MikeyJB]

Please be something hip and contemporary and not a Frank Sinatra song

 

[Axver]

Please be a Frank Sinatra song and not something hip and contemporary.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Please be neither.

 

[gareth brown]

WHATTT!!! ...you serious...well at least Bono will do a much better job at singing it

 

[Galeongirl]

just confirmed on Radio 1 it's Coldplay's Speed Of Sound. sorry guys.

I wouldn't even mind it if that was real. It would be the first time I'd enjoy a Coldplay song, because it misses the main annoyment factor: Chris Martin.

 

[last unicorn]

I love Speed of Sound, honestly.

But U2 covering Coldplay, wtf?


I hope Chris will be ok.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Wait.

I don't get it.

 

[zwervers2]

I hope Chris will be ok.

and so the torchpassing has taken another step once again.
It is only a matter of time people, only a matter of time

thank god they won't cover Nickelback though,
that band is the worst thing to happen to music since yoko ono

 

[Mr. V]

...you can't be serious?

 

[Bonogirl777]

It's true.

 

[Achtung_CJ]

Oh geez, is that really true?

 

[digitize]

That would actually be pretty awesome.

I *heart* X&Y.

 

[U2girl]

lol.

 

[Acrobad]

[Axver]

Cue EYKIW implosion.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Wait til Rob hears about this!

Wait til intedomine hears about this!

Wait!

 

[Mr. V]

i think U2 have been reading interference.

 

[major_panic]

i think U2 have been reading interference.

Larry: "How can we really, really screw with our fans' minds this time?"
Adam: "Easy, we cover Coldplay."
Bono: "What happens then?"
Adam: "Well, one of two things. Either they praise our cover and say that it's much better than the original, hence having to admit that they've actually listening to the original, OR they say it's a crap song by a crap band and a crap cover and we're crap. They then fall into a bitter, bitter fight, and don't even notice when we release an album in fall."
Edge: "Let's do it."

 

[singyourlife]

LOL. Everyone's gonna cause a massive drama about this, no doubt. 'omgzzz coldplayz duz it beta!'. I just hope Bono remembers/even attempts to learn the words.

 

[BVS]

So where is this news coming from that they are doing a cover?


I can't believe someone used the word "hip"...

 

[Achtung_CJ]

So where is this news coming from that they are doing a cover?

Yeah, anybody got a source?

...if U2 is really covering a Coldplay song I am going to get laughed at so much...all my friends know how much I love U2 and hate Coldplay and I'll never hear the end of it

 

[gman]

Jo Whiley sed it herself on her show this morning. They certainly didnt mention Coldplay at any point tho!!

 

[adrball]

No mention of coldplay.

:willputapoundonthekillers:

 

[nicv]

Got to be a joke, eh???

 

[last unicorn]

They'll do Britney.

 

[gman]

I reckon it will be something cheesy myself.

 

[scottyT]

I'm thinking it's going to be Disturbia. Or maybe they'll cover a Daulton Brother's song.

 

[Bonogirl777]

Yeah, anybody got a source?

Ditto.
