Ads do have to pay advertising in some cases - but these are intrusive and annoying. Worst is, no other video site has the videos I like either. It's Youtube, Myspace (no thanks) or no idea elsewhere. Nobody really uploading videos to Dailymotion etc.
And now a rumor of Coldplay doing a cover? Maybe they're having these bands cover a song from AB and putting it all together to see how the album would sound by today's musicians. That's a cool idea even if it sucks- would just make you appreciate it even more, I suppose.
I would have thought Coldplay would do A Sort of Homecoming with the history there with it being one of Chris's proclaimed favorite songs, but what AB song would they do?
Those were more like remixes with samples etc. I would love to hear Thriller actually COVERED, like original artists doing original things. No samples, etc.
