:o http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/article/slipknot%20star%20blasts%20coldplay%20album_1089928 SLIPKNOT frontman COREY TAYLOR launched into a foul-mouthed rant about COLDPLAY frontman CHRIS MARTIN and the band's latest LP during a TV interview. The British rockers' Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends received critical acclaim when it was released earlier this year (08). But Taylor is not a fan of the record, or singer Martin - and made his thoughts known in a profanity-packed U.K. TV interview. He tells Zane Lowe's MTV show, "That is one of the most self-celebratory pieces of **** I've ever f**king heard in my entire f**king life. "Go suck a f**king *…

Tonight, American HD TV channel Palladia is premiering Coldplay's MTV World Stage show (recorded in Tokyo in Feb) at 9pm EST. See local listings for info... Source: Coldplay Facebook

MAX Music channel is doing a special Coldplay day this Sat on 12-4pm. They're showing their MAX Masters, Videography, and Max Sessions, so it's nothing we haven't seen before. Just thought I might let you guys know though. http://maxtv.com.au/max/showpage.aspx?id=52

I just saw it on a tv report. i thought to may be bump barcelona fc thread or someone we had of celebrities that like coldplay but i can't find them so here we go. Pep Guardiola, Barcelona's coacher plays Coldplay's Viva La Vida before and after training and matchs. And seems it's giving them good luck cause they are doing good in La Liga :)

Hello guys!!! I always kept an eye on this forums as well as on other coldplay fan site, and I've decided to post for the first time here to make you listen to our big effort to create the BEST COLDPLAY TRIBUTE BAND EVER MADE!!!! Or at least that's what we're trying to do... here's the link, let me know what you think, I know that all of you are totally coldplay-addicted :P http://www.myspace.com/sirtribute we are the S.I.R. - Stuck In Reverse!!!!!!!! I'd really appreciate to read your opinions... kisses

Thanks to The Colbert Report for the heads-up on this (which I've noticed numerous Coldplay jokes on recently; Stephen Colbert had Feb. 23rd reserved and got ticked that Coldplay has the day right after him due to alphabetic listing). Mastermedia International, an American non-profit Christian organization that works with certain media, sets a special calendar each year to pray for one "Cultural Influencer" every single day of the year. The list is in alphabetical order, and for the first time, Coldplay has marched their way onto the list for 2009 as one of the 365 "most powerful" influencers. February 24th is their day, so today, the members of the organization will b…

So, my four year old son Toby told me that he 'Wants to be Chris Martin when he grows up" Was truly one of the proudest moments of my life!:laugh3: Incidentally, when I met Anthony Martin in Melbourne, I showed him pictures of Toby in full Coldplay mode and he was VERY amused! Said it should be encouraged! Toby is about to turn 5, and I want to make him a mini jacket like the one Chris wears on stage. He would fully wet his Thomas the Tank Engine pants. Does anyone know anyone gifted who might be bribed with money to make one for a very small (and VERY cute) little man? Please can you also post any good close up pictures of the jacket for me if you have any? Wh…

Hey everybody Okay let's start a new topic... I was wondering what your opinions are concerning the different characters of Chris,Jonny,Guy and Will. We only know them from concerts and interviews and stuff, but no one knows really how they are in private life. What do you think, how are them in relationships, wifes ,children, friends, at home? I'm sure It gonna be fun discussing about that.:D many greetings bye (and sorry for my english by the way:(...)

i mean this is probably totally pointless but no one has been able to give me a direct answer. in the song low the line "all you ever wanted is love". is this grammatically correct i mean i have gotten used to saying this but one of my friends said it should be was instead of is? so which is it?

Hey all, I happened to catch an American Idol contestant perform 'Viva La Vida' just a moment ago on TV ...it wasn't that great lol. Obviously no one does it better than Coldplay and this guy is no Chris Martin. He can sing but that song has a certain degree of epic-ness that he just didn't achieve. Simon also implied that Coldplay was pop, which I sorta disagree with but maybe he was just referring to the song. Anyway, just thought I'd share :). If it pops up on Youtube I'll post the link. Oh P.S. sorry if I've posted in the wrong place :P Please feel free to move the thread in a more suitable spot

when and how did you first hear (of) Coldplay, and when did you start to love them?? :) i remember july 22nd, 2001. the brixton-academy-gig from april 01 was broadcasted on the radiostatio FM4. i had never heard of coldplay before (though i had already heard yellow once on the radio before, but i didn't know it was coldplay :rolleyes: ) i recorded the gig on a tape, and after i had listened to it several times on the following day, i quickly went to town to buy parachutes.... :D and you?

COLDPLAY may have made their name with heart-stirring rock ballads. But that’s about to change thanks to drummer WILL CHAMPION’s tinkering in the studio. The tub-thumper wants to take the rockers on a rave odyssey after investing in some top-of-the-range beat-making equipment. Recent sessions have seen the sticks-man unveil a thundering, 168-beats-per- minute banger of a track. That’s proper hands in the air, big fish, little fish, cardboard box tempo. And at that speed it’s even faster than many techno tracks or anthems from rave’s heyday. I’m told: “The lads are still on a creative roll in the studio and Will is bringing lots of ideas to the table. Whistles “…

I saw the title of this article, and even before reading it, I knew that Chris would be on it... because for some reason people hate him. I seriously don't understand why there is such a negative connotation with Coldplay/Chris Martin. guess these people have never heard him live. http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/34555827.html#cutid1

so, according to the tv guide on my tv this saturday there's going to be a re-run episode of madtv where they honor alumnus michael mcdonald, & they play one of the coldplay parodies. i know, you can just watch it on youtube [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqpDhPXg6Zs]YouTube - Coldplay Parody[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1CJLpz8LWA&feature=PlayList&p=143362A91C0CD528&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=30]YouTube - MADtv - Coldplay - I'm The Most Important Part Of Coldplay (PARODY)[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWF0nPG57Vs&feature=related]YouTube - MADtv - "Viva La Cheata" (Coldplay/John Edwards Parody)[/am…

Hey everybody! I have Parlophone as one of my friends on Facebook and earlier today they posted that they've put up the EPK (Electronic Press Kit) for X&Y for free on iTunes! It's about 16 minutes long and if you haven't seen it before it's a really good in depth interview about the meaning of most of the songs and some great behind the scenes footage. AND IT'S FREE!!! :D Direct link to iTunes: http://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/browserRedirect?url=itms%253A%252F%252Fax.itunes.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewPodcast%253Fid%253D306082158%2526uo%253D6 OR http://www.sendspace.com/file/8if30d OR [ame=http://www.y…

Exactly one year ago, BBC6 Music and XFM radio were preparing to air the world premiere of Coldplay's newest single, Violet Hill. Chris and Jonny were in the radio studio and had brought the song with them, ready for it to be unleashed for the very first time. The song was aired and so a new era for Coldplay had begun. 15 minutes later, the song was ready for download on the all-new Coldplay.com - and it all began. -- Who has great memories of this event? :D

I hope this is a fit place to ask for lyrical meanings/interpretations. In A Rush of Blood To The Head, you hear 'stand here beside me baby watch the orange glow'. U2's Bullet The Blue Sky also refers to 'orange glow': 'From the firefly, a red orange glow' (1st verse) Anyone knows what it means?

Just a question really.......I have posted and replied to a couple of "what do the lyrics mean" in the Releases Section and to be honest there seems to be very little substance in peoples understandings....... eg, Lhuna Lyrics and Album Meaning threads... I assume, that you all understand WHY Coldplay promote "Free Trade" and also WHY there are so many political and geo-political messages in their music (esp. since Rush of Blood to the Head) Basically all the albums and tracks POST 911. The title itself "Rush of Blood to the Head" literally implies do something Impulsive........ So, why dont you all try it? - Go to Releases and look for the lyrics MEANING an…

YOUR taste in music reflects your intelligence - and Beyonce fans are among the most stupid, it was claimed today. Devotees of the Destiny's Child star came close to the bottom of the pile in a student's comparison between exam results and musical tastes. But they are not the worst of the worst - unless they are also fans of rapper Lil' Wayne - because his followers are deemed the least intelligent. image Devotees of Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z also ranked low in the scale, it was claimed. They are among the findings of the probe by Virgil Griffiths, a PhD student in America, who puts Beethoven listeners as far and away the smartest. Intelligent Griffith…

Haha! Of course they do you fool! But I'm kinda curious about some of the songs they play. I'm not good with describing music. But watch the following video, Chris is playing chords on his guitar and Jonny is... strumming really fast (not playing the main part) So who is playing the main part of the song? By main part I mean the part that starts at :07. Does Coldplay just have that part play in the background while they play "to" it?

Someone needs to def erase this wackjob because he obviously has no life whatsoever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET LOST PUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A miracle has happened: Coldplay Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends [Capitol; 2008] Rating: 6.5 Buy it from Insound Download it from Emusic Digg this article Add to del.icio.us Earlier this year, Britons voted Coldplay as The Band Most Likely to Put You to Sleep. The poll, conducted by hotel chain Travelodge, had Chris Martin & Co. beating out aural Ambien including James Blunt and Norah Jones. Even for a band known to take solace in their overarching pleasantness, the drowsy coronation doubled as a harsh insult. After all, Coldplay is a rock band. A grandma-friendly, Radiohead-normalizing, disarmingly polite rock band led by a man who sounds li…

For those of you who use iTunes, look on your "Top 25 Most Played" songs. How many of them are Coldplay? And if Coldplay is in the number one spot, what song is it, and how many times has it been played? Ok... I have 13 Coldplay songs in my "25 Most Played" songs. Coldplay is also in the number one spot, holding "Strawberry Swing", and it's been played 31 times...
