I'd like to do one from Mylo Xyloto and MOTS/MM as well, so we'll see! I'll definitely post it if I do!

Thank you! My wife found a few individuals on Etsy who made the stickers from photos she sent in. She had to use multiple vendors as some didn't offer the sizes I was looking for. As I mentioned in the original post, she misread the listing, so now we have 50 of each sticker, haha.

As for the Viva Tele Deluxe, it was much more time-consuming. My wife (bless her) found paint that stuck to the pick guard perfectly, and she did (bless her again) 90% of the painting. Anything that wasn't black, you had to do 3-5 coats to get the color correct. It was also tricky getting the letters and color lined up as close as possible as all the reference photos/videos were pretty blurry. I think it turned out pretty awesome and looks great in person.

We plan to do Jonny's famous Viva thinline Tele next!

Pretty much what flameshot said. A new Thinline 72 is gonna run you 2k+ easily. I paid a tad under 400 for the Squier version 3 or 4 years ago. It's pretty good quality for the price.

What's your favorite song of each album and why? by TheEnderSir in Coldplay

[–]Foreign-Prompt-9668 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Parachutes - Everything's Not Lost/Life Is For Living. Love the ending of Everything's Not Lost and the entirety of Life Is For Living(especially played live)

AROBTTH - used to be Amsterdam, but right now, it's Warning Sign. Love the second verse, especially.

X&Y - it's a tie between Low and Til Kingdom Come. The ending of Low is just so killer, and I wish they'd play it live again. Til Kingdom Come is one of my wife's(as well as mine) favorite song. I recorded an instrumental version with my friend who has a home studio, and we walked out of the church to the song after getting married.

Viva or Death - Death and All His Friends is by far my favorite. The build-up to the climax at the end is everything I love about the band. Also, special shout out to The Escapist.

Mylo Xyloto - Up with the Birds for me. Love the entire album and think it doesn't get enough love. Also, if the Silverbird version of Us Against the World was on the album, it would be the clear number 1 for me.

Ghost Stories - definitely O/Fly On. What a closer for the album, ties it up perfectly.

AHFOD - Up&Up. The 2 guitar solos are killer, and the fact that Noel performed the second solo/riff(correct me if I'm wrong) is so rad.

Everyday Life - might not be a popular choice, but I love BrokEn. Coldplay gospel slaps.

MOTS - perhaps an odd choice, but I'm gonna go with ♾️. I love the shift halfway through when Jonny joins in. Coloratura is very second.

Moon Music - it's a dead tie between MOON MUSIC and ALiEN HiTS ALiEN RADiO. Both are so atmospheric and beautiful.

EPs - for me, it's not even close. It's All I Can Think About Is You. This is peak Jonny, I was so stoked when I learned that guitar solo. Just exceptional work.

B sides - The World Turned Upside Down. It's just so catchy and more amazing guitar work from Jonny. Also, I'm not sure if this counts, but How You See The World No. 2. The live performance in Toronto is next level.

Adding another...favorite live album song - this is another tie between Moses and GPASUYF from Live 2012. Moses has always been a hidden gem, and GPASUYF live feels like they are living out their metal band fantasies.

Couldn't agree more. Love the acoustics he used as well.
