Chris Martin has compared Coldplay's ambitions to triple Olympic record holder Usain Bolt. The singer admitted that the band are constantly striving to be the best in their field. "I know we're not s**t," he told the Herald Sun. "We want to be like Usain Bolt, we don't want to be the guy who came fifth. It's not enough to get into the Olympic finals, you've got to win it." Martin added that there is more pressure on recording artists than ever before. "We're on our fourth album, we're doing about as well as you can ask to do, but there's a blessing and a curse to being in a band in 2009," he said. "The curse is there's so many things that have gone before you it'…

Activision Blizzard is really pushing for more and more Guitar Hero titles to be released on several platforms. Facing the prospect of a Rock Band title arriving on the PlayStation Portable, the publisher has released information on Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hits, which is the third installment of the series to make its way to the Nintendo DS handheld. This follows a copious amount of rumors related to the title and a frenzy of activity from Activision filling patents, with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, related to the upcoming game. Activision says that, like the original game in the series and like the Decades sequel, Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hit…

I want to create a I hate Alan Mcgee campagign. I just went onto his twitter and it says "how fucking bad a band are coldplay?/''the public gets what the public wants'' the public tasteless cunts" and he is still insulting eno through the fake guy even though he realises its not him! Now I thank him for bringing Oasis to the world but bar that the man is a rude wanker! Seriously I hate they guy...so immature using twitter to attack a band who are currently better than any band he has signed at the moment. What do u think of the bastard? Is he jealous? or just caught up in the success of his oasis creation (who in the end left his label) wat do u think?

Viva La freebie By PETE SAMSON Deputy Bizarre Editor Published: Today COLDPLAY star CHRIS MARTIN tonight has the opportunity to add to the three shiny new Grammys on the mantelpiece of his lavish London mansion. But refreshingly, the rock superstar with an A-list Hollywood wife has not lost sight of the most important people in the band’s incredible success — the fans. Four nominations ... Coldplay In the year that has gained the band gongs and sales records all over the world, Chris plans to give away a FREE live album to people who go to their huge shows this summer. He hopes the gift will thank fans for the…

Last night I noticed someone in the bar wearing a 19th century style military jacket: green, with gold buttons and yellow igsignia. (and no it wasn't Will Champion! :) ) - sadly I'm noticing more and more military style jackets of late in the UK, have Coldplay started a fashion here?

THERE is an unmistakable thread of optimism running through Coldplay's music. Even their most melancholy moments tend to be more about hope than strife. That seems to echo the sentiments of the members as they gathered to play the first of two nights at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre last night. What's the best part of being in Coldplay? "Every part is great, even the s--- bits," singer Chris Martin chirps, chattering backstage before last night's gig. "Even when everyone is slagging you off." Bass guitarist Guy Berryman agrees. "If you read something negative sometimes you agree with it and you make the change," he said. "Or if you read something you don't a…

Do you losers know why?

Over ex-Roxy Music star's production... Producer Brian Eno and former record label boss Alan McGee have become embroiled in an angry online war of words. The argument, on the micro-blogging website Twitter, began after McGee suggested Eno's productions were all capable of making people fall asleep. Referring to Eno's latest collaboration with Coldplay, the former Oasis manager added: “Was it your idea to dress up Coldplay as the Beatles?” Eno replied to McGee's message (known on Twitter as a 'Tweet') this morning, saying: “Fuck off, wanker.” In response, McGee wrote: “Morning Brian, wondered when you would wake up. When are you going to make a decent record a…

Coldplay's humility belies the band's steely ambition WHEN Coldplay frontman Chris Martin bounded on to the stage at a packed Rod Laver Arena this week, rest assured of two things: he was utterly in his element and his breath was minty fresh. As the British quartet has morphed in the past decade from charming indie rockers to world-beating arena act, the singer has picked up a Rain Man-like list of rituals he ticks off before every show, one of which is cleaning his teeth. "For me, there are about 18 things that have to be done before I can go on stage, but they are all too ridiculous to repeat," Martin says. "I have to brush my teeth before I go on stage, othe…

I saw this photo, and I do not know is only my vision or chris has a tattoo?. :o Do you know something about it, of if it had or has become one? I have reviewed my collection pic (more than 1000 pics) and I have not returned to see it, so I think that or is false or has taken off it. The tattoo is a blue cross or it seem, it´s near his next to the offer of its shirt on his right arm. Please answer. thanks. ;)

ALEX McLeish has enlisted the help of one of his favourite bands in an attempt to revive the St Andrew’s atmosphere. Coldplay’s chart-topper Viva La Vida has been designated as Blues’ new run-out tune, replacing Feel It by The Tamperer, and McLeish and club PR and marketing staff have drawn up a new playlist for the pre-match music. The UB40 classic Food For Thought is among the songs, the melody from which became a cult favourite among supporters who suddenly started to chant it at the season’s start. For a while McLeish and Blues have been wracking their brains for ways of encouraging a better mood, of togetherness and noise, around the stadium rather than the …

:laugh3: Okay just a little inside joke from the world of music in response to the "radiohead are poor" thread. THE POINT Sometimes I feel like this forum is like two nations. On one hand we have the Coldplay section with all their crazy fangirls/fanboys and big sigs about how much they love so and so in the band. Then we have the World of Music section which is inhabited by a mix of Coldplay lovers but also a lot of people who once had a burning passion for Coldplay but the love affair is over and they post away with their Thom Yorke avatar's and Radiohead lyrics in their siggys. Then somebody makes a thread about how they don't like Radiohead and they get…

So, Merrick and Rosso and Kate are throwing Chris a birthday party tonight after the show and on their site there's three hilarious videos of the gifts that they've made. http://www.nova969.com.au/site/shows/merrick_rosso_kate.aspx It's on the right hand side o fthat page.

He praises the British band... Actor David Hasselhoff, star of Baywatch, has revealed that he is a fan of Coldplay. Hasselhoff, who is known to audiences around the world as lifeguard Mitch Buchanan, said he had been introduced to the British group by his children. “My daughters turned me on to Coldplay a long time ago. I follow their lead,” he told XFM. “They’re so hip, they’re 16 and 18 and they know what’s going down.” Hasselhoff attended the BRIT Awards last month, where he presented the prize for Best British Band to Elbow. http://www.gigwise.com/news/49628/Baywatchs-David-Hasselhoff-Im-A-Coldplay-Fan

Chris Martin is planning to retire next year. The Coldplay frontman doesn't want to become an aging rock star and is keen to quit music before he feels too old. He said: "I'm 31 now and I don't think bands should keep going past 33." "So we're trying to pack in as much as possible. Up until the end of next year, we'll just go for it in every sense. I don't believe in time off." "We've still got our own hair, we can still fit into our musical trousers and we've got to make the most of that." The "Clocks" singer - whose last album "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends" topped the album charts in 36 countries - claim his band have only had such a successful …

For example, i for my bit had a hole in my favourite dark blue jacket at the arm and thought 'why don't do it like the coldplayers, and tie a cloth around my arm?' :thinking: (im sorry for strange expressions, still learning english) did you ever draw the equal sign on your hand, or wrote notes on it like chris? or did you ever made these multicolored tapes arount your fingers? that would interest me.:inquisitive:

So i was recently disgusted by how America was left out of the recent World Stage concert in Tokyo. So i emailed a tv station by the name of HDNET. Every Sunday they do a special concert series where they show concerts ranging from The Cure to Backstreet Boys. They even play How We Saw the World every once in a while. So i emailed them complaining and wondering if they could play the concert since MTV is crap in the US.. Here is what i got back. ******* Hi- Thanks so much for the email and feedback. We're happy that you're enjoying the concerts on HDNet! We've sent your email and comments onto the music programming staff so, we'll look into acquiring that co…
