NewsFlash: Coldplay to Suck Beastie Boys' Penises and do a Fan-Filmed Concert Video

[b i o n i c]

Coldplay is getting set to make a concert video, putting cameras in the hands of fans to film a two-night stand in Canada.

Coldplay lifts the idea from The Beastie Boys, who passed out handheld cameras to fans to shoot concert footage for its Awesome! I Fuckin’ Shot That! (read full story). Similarly, Coldplay will scrimp on camera-operator fees and union dues, and have its fans shoot amateur footage of two shows, March 22 and 23 in Toronto’s Air Center.

Where The Beastie Boys loaned cameras to fans, Coldplay lays the hype on thickly for its shows. Fans must enter a sweepstakes by sitting through episodes of Entertainment Tonight Canada then logging onto a website and answering questions. Winners will have the chance to help Coldplay shoot a concert DVD for its X&Y (2005, Capitol) (read Aversion’s review).

The Beasties’ video is slated to screen this month at the South By Southwest Film Festival.

i bet that will be a boring movie, but i bet they get some good shots cuz what do you do at a coldplay concert sit and bob your head a little? mabye a sway back and fourth every now and then? they could just put the camera on a stand and be good to go. the beasties fans actually get into it and you get to see the crazyness of the fans, that right there will make it 100 times better

on one hand, the beastie boys were onto something awesome, something different and original....but on the other, i can't help but feel a little ticked off that other bands are jackin' their idea :rolleyes:
it's like "c'mon, do something else. be creative for christ's sake!"

but you already know it's never gonna be as good as the beasties. i haven't even seen AIFST yet and i just know it's gonna be the best!

I know most of you guys and girls are too young to remember this, but Bon Jovi was the first band to hand out cameras to their audience so they could record a concert.
