Q. Before Coldplay played songs on the stage in the back, Chris said "we would like to dedicate this song to our friend..." I forgot the name that comes after but i believe it was "David Green"... Who is this?

Q. Dear Oracle !

I'm a huge fan of both Coldplay & Robbie Williams and I wonder what does the band think of Mr Williams, as an artist and also as a human being? Did they ever met?

Have a nice day O'

xoxo

Q. Hi Oracle?
I went to a concert in Toronto, was amazing.
Frida Kahlo talk with the band after the release of the disc?

Q. Dear Oracle,

At the Brixton gig Coldplay did in London last June, the first few people in the queue to the gig were given a handbook called Politik. Whose idea was this, what did it contain and who wrote it all?

Q. Dear Ocacle,
How come you keep answering Julie from the United States questions repeatedly like 5 times and not mine?! Do you like know her or something?

Q. Dear Oracle: Do you think guys from Coldplay could actually win the best beard award like they said a few months ago? Because I do. What do you think?

Q. Hi Oracle
I was wondering apparently there are two videos for Violet Hill and Viva la Vida

Which are the official videos?
Also the other ones were they just jokes or just a tried ideas?

Hope you answer.

Q. Dear Oracle!
I heard a version of Clocks on the radio which I have never heard before. It was a kind of samba sound with trumpets. It was very good and different, it was no live version but a studio one. Do you know which one I mean and please can you tell me where I can find it?
Thanks

Q. This may be a dumb question, but I am highly curious. I was watching the news about Michael Jackson's death, and they were talking about his debt. They then mentioned that he owned, what I think, were the rights to at least a 100 Beatles songs. Does it not strike you as odd that a musician that had nothing to do with the creation of their music gets money from it now?

Q. Hi Oracle,

I was wondering why/how we get goose bumps? More specifically how can music cause the reaction?

Q. Hello Oracle!

Okay weird situation. The other day our friend got a dog that was named SugarBear. It looks like a Shitzu/Rat Terrier, but someone keeps telling her that SugarBear is the name of the breed.

So our question is...
Is there a breed of dog named SugarBear?

Q. After the 2005 tour poor Chris was looking rather thin, I offered, via friends who know Phil, to cook him a hearty meal of sausage and mash (my fav!) at mine. But I think he was probably a bit too busy to accept!! Gorgeous as he is Chris is looking thinner than Kate Moss at present so the offer still stands but we are a little further away now (Malaysia) and no sausages here so it will have to be nasi lamak. How's his diary looking!!?
Terima Kasih (Thanks) Juley P.S. please send me some saugages (Sainsburys frozen ones would be great)!

Q. Dear Oracle,
Have you noticed that the song When Love Takes Over by David Guetta feat. Kelly Rowland sounds a lot like "Clocks"?

Q. Dear Oracle,

In Roadie #42's latest blog (number 88), there's a rather nice photo of the band with Dave Holmes the manager man. It certainly makes a pretty picture but I was wondering what is written on the tag around his neck. I normally wouldn't be too interested but I thought it looked like "Viva la Vida With Love" meaning "Live Life... With Love". Now, though, I'm not so sure. Can you please help me out of this calamity?

Cheers!

Q. Is there such a thing as Mince Spies?

Q. Dear Oracle..
Did Chris write the piano riff in Homecoming, a song in which he collaborated with Kanye West?

Q. Q. Hey Oracle!! Well I want to ask you about the reaction that you think we (the world) will have about the recent Michael Jackson news.... the pop will never be the same?? Or someday we will just forget it and continue our lives with new artist and that kind of stuff...
thanks...

Q. Dear Oracle,
Many weeks ago, I recall you answering a question by giving 5 of your favourite bands. I enjoyed it so much, I was hoping you could give another "5 favourite artists list" and if possible your best song by them.
Thanks in advanced!
James

Q. What is the reaction of the band to the sad death of King of Pop, Michael Jackson?

Q. Hey awesome Oracle!
I'm really confused about something. You see, sometimes when Coldplay performs live, and Chris plays the piano, it produces a non-piano sound, such as in Fix You. How is this possible if a piano is not electronic? Does Chris somehow distort the sound?
Thank you so much, this has been bugging me :)

Q. Hello dear Oracle!
I was just wondering, what happens if one of the band members is sick and they need to perform a concert? Is there a replacement for each musician, or would they just call off the concert?

Q. Why do we Poop?

Q. Oh Oracle... I'm so upset! The guy I got my first kiss from stopped talking to me and now has a new girlfriend. Though I don't love him it still hurts because I feel he used my inexperience against me. What do I do?

Q. Hey hey Oracle!!
Please please answer my question!! I was wondering: is writing on your hands with pen and/or marker bad for you (or your skin)? Because I do it all the time...
Thanks soo much!! Ayesha :)

Q. Hello Oracle!

1. In the live video of Lovers in Japan and Lost!, Chris Martin has something in his ear ... what is it?

2. Why do you get shadows under your eyes when you sleep late? And what are they?

Cheers,
Omar

Q. Is there anyway to contact the Coldplay crew?

Q. High Oracle!

Where is my question after I wrote it and pushed the "submit a question" button??

Q. Dear Oracle, my family is friends with another family and the dad of this other family is a world class tae kwon do fighter. This other family is also quite rich so the "son" in the other family practically brags about how great he is. Now me and the son used to be friends back when I came to Canada (when I really didnt know much about stuff) then when I came to Canadian school trouble started to happen. He teased me alot about some choices I made, like how I told on people, (he told me no one likes a teller). Until now he teases me about the stuff I did before.
Sometimes he would punch me because I know I cant fight back because I dont want cause a family feud because my Dad vs his Dad, not a fair match. Oh dear Oracle what should I do?
He told me not to tell anyone about it but I'm lucky he doesn't care about Coldplay.

Q. How does Chris feel about Dentists?

Q. Oracle,
I hope you can guide me on that one. I am a pop singer, recording a demo right now. I'd like to send it to record companies. I tried and tried to find their address but it seems impossible. Their is one site where you can pay 15$ and they supposedly have all the addresses. Would you trust that? And if not where can I find all this info.
Thanks a lot for your help.
See you in Montreal.

Q. Hello omniscient Oracle,
I was just curious about the live performance of Moses on the Live 2003 DVD. Is he using the Rico-sound input of the Rickenbacker or the standard input. I've been trying to play it but it just doesn't sound right on my Fender 12-string. Thanks for reading this if you do.

Q. Hello, I hope you have a good day. The Bakery was a new building? And how much cost were taken to built it? And how many floor, 3? Is the Bakery like a bungalow house? Hmm..I think I ask you too much but that's all. I hope you can answer it, thank you very much.

Q. Dear Oracle
You told Lynn that there is no etiquette at the band's concerts.
I only have a fig-leaf. Is it OK?
E V A

Q. Oracle, you never answered the question users have asked about why Chicago was filmed and for what. You answered the Question about the Vancouver show pretty quickly though, what gives?
Thanks

Q. Oh ever-knowing Oracle,
Is it true Coldplay are releasing a Viva La Vida Tour DVD? I heard Chris was talking about it then I heard that Coldplay's Video Manager said that the filming in Vancouver was "for the archive."
Oh please answer, Oracle.

Thanks a billion
-Andrew

Q. Dear Oracle,

It has been a hectic week and I am exhausted. Please, please say something funny that makes my day. Thank you!

Q. What should one expect at a Coldplay concert? Lighting of the candles? Replay of song lyrics by the audience? ??? Dancing in the aisles? What?
Obviously I'm a newbie!!!

Q. I was watching an episode of the BBC tv series The Tudors the other day on dvd. One of the characters who is a good friend of Henry the King, but I can't find his real name or character name, is a double for Chris, and this guy gets up to all sorts! Then again maybe he's not a double, maybe Chris took some time out to do a bit of acting!

Q. There was a group that played before Coldplay. All I know; they were from Australia. They sounded bad ass. I need the name of the group?
Thanks Oracle.
I saw them in the San Antonio, TX June 10, 2009.

Q. I'm a cake decorator in Des Moines, Ia. Today a woman picked up a cake from me and told me it was for the band. I really need to know if this is true, because i'd love to tell people. Also, if it IS true, what's the occasion? And did they enjoy the cake? (HONESTLY?)

Q. At the Quest Center show, there seemed to be a very long delay between supporting act Snow Patrol and Coldplay. It lasted at least 45 minutes and included a stagehand breakdancing to Jay-Z and the blaring of a quirky orchestral piece. Does this happen before every show, or was there just some technical difficulties? If this is a common occurrence, what is the title of the orchestra piece?

Q. Hey lovely Oracle!
I have questions I hope u can answer =)

1. On the mailing list, I put my name and everything but when is says an email has been sent, I checked my email a few days later and I still didn't get an email. then I put info@coldplay.com and I tried again but I still didn't get an email. Why aren't I getting anything?

2. Not really Coldplay related, but do you think Will Ferrell looks like the drummer from the Red Hot Chili Peppers (Chad Smith)? I find them identical! People say Chris Martin looks like Hugh Laurie but I don't really see where they're coming from, What do u think?

Thanks in advance i hope my question will get picked =))

Q. Oh Wise Oracle,

I noticed that in Lost+, during Jay-Z's solo, he says the "n"-word. Now, I realize that Jay-Z himself probably wrote the lyrics himself, but why would the members of Coldplay to allow that word in one of their songs? I was surprised when I heard it, as I can't recall any swearing in any of Coldplay's songs.

But other than that, I thought it was a good solo and it added to the song.

Hugs and kisses,
Jen

Q. Oracle,
Wow...not only do you know everything you're fast. Thanks so much for answering my question about the new live version of Clocks. I realized after reading your response I realize now I should have been more specific. Following the verse "nothing else compares" and before "home home..." Chris repeats a phrase. Sorry I wasn't clear the first time.

Q. Dearest Oracle. What do you think of skinnies (or skin tight) jeans on fellas?

Q. Hi Oracle,

In the song When Love Takes Over by David Guetta and Kelly Rowland, there is a piano part which sounds almost just like Clocks. Is that them copying Coldplay?

Q. I was reading about the breast muscles on Wikipedia recently. The search referred to the Latin name Pectoralis Major.

In the first line it said: This article is about anatomy. For the band formerly named Pectoralz, see Coldplay.

Where did Pectoralz come from? Wasn't it Starfish before?

Q. Dear Oracle, please please answer this one... I was watching Grey's Anatomy (the bomb episode) and there seems the song that goes after Grey puts her arm in the patient seems like it was one of Coldplay's, what song is it?

Q. Will Stephenie Meyer finish and publish her book Midnight Sun?

Q. Why are Coldplay fans considered gay? I just don't understand it.
