The Jesus of Uncool Chris Martin: The Rolling Stone Interview BRIAN HIATT When Chris Martin emerges from a town car on a quiet west village street one afternoon in May, he's dressed like a stagehand — black khakis, black hooded top. You'd never notice him, which is probably the idea. But then he starts singing Talking Heads' "Girlfriend Is Better" loud enough to be heard from across the street. The guy can't help it: He's a ham. The paparazzi siege that came with marrying Gwyneth Paltrow and having two angelic blond children with her has forced a certain public guardedness on him, but it seems he can't keep it up. As Martin sits down for what he calls "an epic inte…

SUZUKA (JAPAN): Formula One world champion Jenson Button knows plenty of good tracks but he was taken aback when a confused fan recently mixed him up with a global rock star. "I had an American come up to me at the Heathrow airport, a few months back saying that she and her family are big fans of mine," the Briton said in a light-hearted moment at the rain-hit Japanese Grand Prix. "After I thanked her saying I did not know that Formula One was so big in America, she said they've got all my records and all my albums." Button added. On being asked about his reply to it he said " I said, Fantastic. you think I'm Chris Martin, don't you? and she exclaimed 'Are you not?'…

Did I just hear Life In Technicolour at the Conservative Party conference in the warm-up video for David Cameron? How times have changed!

Hey, I just recorded Warning Sign this month, and wanted to share. I used different instruments that you'll probably never hear on a Coldplay album (Irish Bouzouki, Accordion). I'm fairly new at singing ,so I tried my best. Did the whole recording, and produced it too. It's not bad for having used a 150 dollar hand held recorder and a couple free programs to produce. Trying to keep it real, check it Here's the MP3 http://bengalrecords.com/jim/Warning_Sign_Recorded_10-10-10.mp3 you can hit me up on facebook at: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=645514597

He is a lot more cool though about his A list friends Gwyneth and Chris ‘Coldplay’ Martin. Simon’s wife Maureen was a music pr when they met at a gig at the Dome. Chris had seen Simon’s 1989 show Big Train and they got talking. “My wife worked in the music industry looking after Toploader who were doing a showcase at the Dome, one of the other bands was Coldplay,” he said. “I met Chris afterwards. He had seen Big Train that I had out. “He came up to say ‘hi’, we hit it off and became friends. “It’s been wonderful “When asked why they chose him as godfather to daughter Apple he would only speculate ‘because I’m stea…

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere is so please merge or delete:cool: Coldplay Named Top Songwriters At Ascap Awards COLDPLAY's songwriting skills landed them the top honours at the 30th annual ASCAP Awards in London on Wednesday (13Oct10). Bandmates Chris Martin, Will Champion, Jonny Buckland and Guy Berryman were named the Songwriters of the Year at the ceremony, while their Viva La Vida hit won them the Song of the Year award. Other big winners included Taio Cruz, who picked up the ASCAP Vanguard Award for his record Departure, and chart-topping Brits Scouting For Girls won the ASCAP College Award for Everybody Wants to Be on TV. Another 20 s…

when I came here, I forgot to ask who are Chris, Jonny, Will, Guy :embarrassed: So I wish to know the guys really, their passions in life, some of their character. all I can know of them . I am not as well informed as fans, sorry . and you talk with passion about them is better than the medias or the newspapers who talk about them.

What Coldplay song gives you the most imagery when you listen to it?For me Viva La Vida's songs out of all the albums gives you the most imagery.For me its Prospekt's March/Poppyfields. Especially when he sings "here I lie on my own in a separate sky" I can just imagine laying down in a nice field with the sun setting looking up at the sky. And the Poppyfields instrumental,the first time I heard it,I told myself,"I cant think of anything but poppyfields when I hear this."What songs do it for you guys?

Check out this crazy girls performance on X-Factor, it's pretty freakin insane :stunned::P:laugh3:

So, anyone know what is up with Chris and Warning Sign? Rather old news I guess, but this is the first I have heard of it. I was reading his comment in Look At The Stars and he apparently looked away and said something to the effect of 'it is a silly song, I won't play it, and it could not exist for all I care' Thanks, and my apologies if there is a thread like this somewhere, but it did not pop up on search

http://www.coldplaying.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=3695 in 2007 separated from his wife ? or his ex is Christensen supermodel ? is written "girlfriend" but I do not understand the title of the paper is : Helena Christensen & Guy Berryman 'JUST Good Friends' . so technically is single ? but "technically" it's really vague. well is a tread for all Berrygirls.

If you were given the opportunity for Coldplay to do a private live session for you, friends, family, etc. what songs would you want them to play? Since this is a game, here are a couple of rules 1) You can list any main release, B-side, live-only song, etc. 2) List up to 10 - 15 songs. (10 at minimum) Now, remember that if this was actually happening, you are in complete control of the song choice. Ready? Begin!

We have launched a new Coldplayzone version at the sime URL, http://www.coldplayzone.it Check our new pages and even the most comprehensive discography about Coldplay!

I was just wondering--since Coldplay are a British band, why did they choose to spell it "Life in Technicolor" rather than "Life in Technicolour"? I'm American so I'm not super familiar with British spelling rules, but is it common to use color/colour interchangebly in British English?

Listening to Spies, and contemplating the next 6 months... feel good factor is back eh fellow Coldplayers :wink3: :cheesy:

Ok so in my filmmaking class, I'm stuck with some people that won't get anything done and as a result of that we will get an F! :bigcry: So I am going to ask my teacher if he will let me do a solo project but I need an idea...BY TOMMORROW!!! :stunned: So I wanted to focus on a Coldplay song and I can't really have a person in it, so if you have any ideas, please help! :awesome:

I've had enough. I don't care if its crappy quality from a cassette, I just want the entire song. Who's with me? :wink3:

Is it just me or have I noticed most of the posters on this website are women? Well I'm calling out to all the guys on this website, lets go against the stereotype that being a hardcore Coldplay fan either means your a woman or gay. I'm sick of being called 'feminine' because i'm in love with Coldplay and having the quote from '40 Year Old Virgin' used against me all the time. I drink beer! I eat steak! I have sex with beautiful women! I punch cats in the face (Okay the last one is untrue.... or is it? :sneaky: ) LETS RISE AGAINST THE STEREOTYPE AND SHOW WE ARE ARE HERE AND WE. ARE. MEN!

For people who have seen The South Bank Show you will know of it, for those who haven't heres a link [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJB3t8O3wiY]YouTube - Coldplay - Chris Marting singing Wedding Bells (unreleased/unfinished new song)[/ame] What are people's views on this song? I absolutely love it already and can't stop playing it, sounds more like the old style music from Parachutes which doesn't seem to be taking the front view in coldplay anymore. I really hope Brian Eno doesn't change the band's music too much in future albums, Chris' ballards like this are what makes Coldplay so beautiful!

I just tried coldplay.com 5 times-IT WILL NOT OPEN. Help!:shocked2:

Is that tape or paint on it and can anyone find a really good picture of it? :D Thanks

The one that Will has:

Parachutes: YELLOW A Rush of Blood to the Head: GREEN Eyes X&Y: WHITE Shadows Viva la Vida: VIOLET Hill LP5: ?????????? I don't know why but my gut tells me BLACK

What do you think it is? :D It can be released or unreleased. I think it's either "Postcards From Far Away", "LefrRightLeftRightLeft!", or "Famous Old Painters".
