Coldplay

I'm on a mission to STOP Joe Satriani and his stupid lawyers suing Coldplay. His rubbish song is nothing like Viva La Vida! Anyway, Musicradar is running and poll: Satriani vs Coldplay rages on. Is Satriani right? 1. Yes: Satriani was copied 53% 2. No: Coldplay aren't Satch fans 10% 3. P'raps: Coldplay are magpies 8% 4. Maybe: Satriani = desperate 9% 5. Zzz: I'm bored of it all 20% Can everyone go here and vote on number 2, please? Let's put an end to this nonsense one poll at a time!

Coldplay's Chris Martin has revealed he has managed to break into one of Hollywood's most exclusive clubs - with the help of his Oscar winning wife, report the Metro today. The singer said he cast an Oscar vote for Mickey Rourke as best actor for The Wrestler after discovering his wife's secret Academy Awards voting form. Martin confessed: 'I read the instructions, which is like you've got to put your top five in order and if the number one that you've chosen isn't really doing very well, then they move on to your number two and include that with one that is doing well, if you see what I mean.' The singer, 31, told Manchester's Key 103 Radio he backed Rourke for gl…

:lol: The chord progression of the verse of Viva la Vida is exactly the same as the chord progression of the chorus of Satriani's song except they transposed it to a different key and used the relative minor of the first chord. They are going to settle out of court with Satriani in order to avoid the embarrassment of being proved as plagiarists. What a bunch of doofuses!!

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zN_jdwVtPVE]YouTube - Chris Martin Interview - January 2009[/ame] This is probably my favorite interview ever. Sorry if it has all ready been posted, but I just had to post it! It so funny and Chris is so funny and cute. :laugh3:

i, like many people, am trying to duplicate chris martin's look. i know someone who can sew it but i need the right material. i'm thinking his jacket is made of heavy cotton, but im not sure. any ideas? :D

He could do woth losing a few pounds.Hes a bit too podgy.

Okay. Look. I'm a huge Radiohead fan, but I hated "In Rainbows" Coldplay was going to be the surefire winner for Best Album at the Grammys... AND THEY LOST TO "RAISING SAND" ?!?!!??!?!??!?!!?! Come on people! This is an insult to music! And it's not just because I love Coldplay either...that album that won is terrible. I had to listen to the whole thing while my friend told me how great it was....ughh. I understand that people might like different music than I do...but VLVODAAHF was just pure genius. That's a cohesive, amazing album if I've ever heard one. I wore my Viva Tour shirt today out of Coldplay pride. :) At least they did win some really grea…

Commenting upon Coldplay, Rock said: “Coldplay was absolutely c**p. Bunch of Pet Shop Boys. The s***tiest f***ing performance I have seen in a long time. The only person who was brilliant was myself.” :angry: Source: http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/32068667.html#cutid1

they were seen at the disney animation studios in southern california friday according to someone that worked there maybe a new project in the works with disney?

Chris says that the Verv Bitter Sweet Symphony is the most perfect song ever made U2 is his favorite group and he says that he wouldn't put Coldplay in the same category as them He and Will then agree that in the next ten years they'll all be very old grumpy and probably not speaking to each other and Chris says that he'll probably have a mouthstache and beard by then They also spoke about what they went through making the album Viva La Vida and Will speaks of their visit to South America and how it wasnt quiet what he expected being white and middle class but stresses that he did have a really good time..............

Yes. I'm bored.

Haven't seen anyone talking about this, anyway, Guy has worked again with Magne, for his new EP released in january. All the six songs can be listened to and downloaded free from Magne MySpace. Moreover they also worked on a soundtrack for a japanese movie called Yoru no Shanghai (The Longest Night in Shanghai). It seems Guy have his own song on that OST, called "Guy Romance Theme" and plays also in another one called "Bass Theme". Here's the tracklist (please, don't look at the different title, it's definitely the same movie, it seems they can't decide which is the right title :laugh3:), you should be able to listen to a sample for each song. Edit: I've just seen Mag…

Wasn't it being shown on facebook or something? wat time will it be on........cheers

Coldplay's seven Grammy nominations come off the back of platinum sales across the world for their fourth studio album, Viva la Vida. The album, which has hit number one in more than 30 countries, has cemented the band's reputation as a global phenomenon. It is nine years since their first record, Parachutes, debuted at the top of the charts. Lead single Yellow became the summer's anthem and, to top it all, the album received a Mercury Music Prize nomination. Despite, or perhaps because of, their seemingly effortless success, the critical reaction to Coldplay has always been mixed, and it has proved hard for them to shake an early description of their sound a…

I was listening to Violet Hill, and I just thought that it would be really cool if the song started off with the Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! instead of the atmospheric intro. So then I decided to make this thread :)

Speculation is rife about Anchorman's twitter last night, and its spreading across multiple threads, so now we have a party thread :D. Pre-announcement speculation & post-announcement discussion are encouraged :lol: If you missed the twitter:

Hey Coldplayers... I just thought I'd inform you of a bit of an Australian tradition that Coldplay is set to be part of this year by virtue of their most recent album, Viva la Vida... The Triple J Hottest 100, for all those non-Aussies out there, is an annual "Top 100 Countdown" by Australian independent radio station Triple J. Basically, everyone votes for 10 songs they loved in 2008, and then on Australia Day (a public holiday down here) Triple J plays them all, from 100 to 1. Now that might seem fairly innocuous but it's become quite a big event down here and people now have "Hottest 100 Parties" where they listen to the countdown, have a barbeque and beer, et…

What would you consider to be the Coldplay "brand'? What do you think they represent? What is your take on the fact that the band in the past has not had endorsement deals with corporate products? Do you think this makes them stand out as a major artist in today's music scene?

Coldplay reaches 30 weeks in dutch top 40 chart It's not something a lot of artists or bands will copy, Coldplay is already making history, because front man Chris Martin and his band reached the 30 weeks limit in the dutch Top 40 chart. A special mark, which they've accomplished with their single 'Viva la Vida', because the last time the the 30 week limit was reached has been a while. with their 30 weeks Coldplay is tied with (I can't get no) Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones, and Only A fool by Mighty Sparrow (ao). If the English band should stay in the charts for another week, they'll be officially noted in the top 10 of 'longest noted records of all times'. Co…

I don't know if it was already posted... Anyway... Coldplay nominated at DMA 2009 Coldplay have been nominated at the Danish Music Awards 2009, to be held on 28th Febraury at Glassalen I Tivoli in Copenhagen.

Coldplay's Chris Martin gave Strictly Queen Alesha Dixon a ride home on his private jet from Cannes While Gwyneth Paltrow is busy promoting her new fitness DVD and chain of gyms, her husband Chris Martin has been keeping himself busy, too. The 31-year-old Coldplay frontman performed at the NRJ music awards in Cannes last week where he met up with former Mis-Teeq singer Alesha Dixon. One mole remarked: ‘We didn’t know Chris and Alesha were friends but they were getting along famously, so much so that Chris offered her a ride home on his private jet.’ The 30-year-old Strictly Come Dancing winner – recently voted the woman with the best legs in Britain – quickl…

The Roadie 42 blog talked pretty extensively about the new sessions the band are up to. The Chris-less sessions I should say. I figured, despite the fact there are other threads (I haven't seen any but I'm sure they're there), we could use this as a place to generally discuss what the band is up to. Are these sessions going to form the supposed 2009 album? Are they going to be nearly as experimental when we get the final product? Do we want more experimenting? Do we want more of Viva la Vida or back to the basics (although I DOUBT the latter completely...also dont want it myself)? What direction would you like them to head? Could they experiment in the…
