Coldplay

WHEN CHRIS MARTIN decided to sign GIRLS ALOUD as support for one of COLDPLAY’s summer shows, he used a special booking agent – his missus. The singer called each of the girls individually to ask if they would open for his band at Wembley Stadium on September 18. And in case CHERYL COLE, SARAH HARDING, KIMBERLEY WALSH, NICOLA ROBERTS and NADINE COYLE had any doubts about how serious he was, his wife GWYNETH PALTROW, chipped in on the phone. When Chris was on the blower to Cheryl, Gwynnie took the handset and sang a few lines from their 2002 hit Sound Of The Underground to seal the deal. A source said: “The girls were buzzing to get a personal call from Chris. They …

On channel ten right now (11:30 EST) is a coldplay concert or something and it goes for 30mins. Preforming glass of water right now. (i think it is the live version we all know about).

Hello everyone, im interested to no from everyone what was your favourate song sung by coldplay live in 2008 if you went too see them. Fine was In My place at the MEN 12/12/08 this really got the crowd going and will always be a crowd pleaser. Ohter highlights include - Life In Technicolor i and ii - the excitement when the intro got going was an amazing start to a truely amazing concert. Now what about you guys?

from the new rolling stone article it seems like U2 and Eno have developed the sound Coldplay would dream of...(in your face pop rock)....I still beleive Coldplay can improve but U2 always seems to come out with something better.

Calling all Coldplayers! Next weekend (27th/28th September), will be Coldplay's weekend on the music channel, VH1. "Formed in 1997, alternative rock band Coldplay has risen far and fast in 10 years to be considered the anointed heirs of U2 for the title of best band in the world. Coldplay's misty and melodious sound prevails with passion, charm and strength of character that connects audiences warmly to their room of sanity. Viva La Vida - Or Death And All His Friends was released in 2008 appears to solidify their musical dominance with "Viva la Vida" so VH1 sits back in meditative transcension for an entire weekend of hits like "Yellow", "The Scientist", "Speed of S…

I think whe should gather all the tiny bits of information and have a little C:S:I investigation and try to unravel the mysterey man.....or woman???? Some people it might be???Clues Many belive it is Coldplay themselves:ohmm very intreasting indeed(Scratching chin while i say that) But many think it is Phil Harvey Others think its Jonathan Billars. (I just made the last one up, trying to make it intreasting and I also couldnt think of anyone else:() Who is it???

hello im looking for an online review of the coldplay show at the MEN ARENA 12/12/08 I cant find any :(

Well, some of the youth pastors run these vespers sessions at church and the next 6 or so are all apart of a series with each lecture/talk entitled w/ a Coldplay song... first one is "The Scientist", and the whole series is called "Live The Life (Viva la Vida)". Apparently there's going to be live performances of each song at every session, and the pastors are asking for people that know the songs to perform... I just might, since I know every song on the drums (and a few on the piano, guitar, and bass...). Well whaddya think? Think it's kinda weird? Cool? I'm not Christian so you won't be offending me. :P

I've heard a lot of talk about Coldplay's flirtations with Christianity and being a Christian myself, this intrigues me. I wanted to share with everyone an article I found about X&Y in Christianity Today's Glimpses of God series. It would be interesting to hear everyone else's thoughts about this as many of their lyrics seem to be heading in a spiritual direction:

In the wild world of autograph-seeking, there’s apparently good guys and bad guys, especially in Canada, where a recent poll named the best and worst rock stars to pester for a John Hancock. According to a survey by HoundsTV.com, AC/DC came out on top as the nicest guys to ask for an autograph, with Coldplay and the Guess Who coming in second and third, respectively. Here’s what HoundsTV.com said about AC/DC: “From the time they checked into their downtown Toronto hotel, until boarding the bus to play the sold-out stadium gig, to after lunch on Bloor St. the next day, Angus Young, Malcolm Young, Cliff Williams, and Brian Johnson (and yeah, even the usually tough d…

Nine Inch Nails’ “Ghosts” Tops Amazon MP3 Sales Chart Despite Being Given Away For Free Despite being partially offered as a free download in March 2008, Nine Inch Nails’ instrumental Ghosts I-IV still became the Amazon MP3 Store’s Bestselling Album of 2008, beating out Coldplay’s Viva La Vida and Death Cub for Cutie’s Narrow Stairs. The achievement is symbolic on two fronts: First, it proves — along with Radiohead’s chart-topping success of the physical release of In Rainbows — that music fans are willing to support artists even if their music is offered up at no cost. Second, it’s more evidence that Nine Inch Nails truly has one of the most rabid fanbases on the pla…

according to http://www.mediatraffic.de/tracks-2008.htm coldplay came 2nd losing out to leona...i think they get the points from how long the song stays in the top 40 for. anyways thought it might need a mention (sorry if it has)

Did anyone else watch this? It was the Critics Choice Awards and it aired on VH1 at 9pm. Anyway, about an hour into the ceremony, Richard Gere got presented with a "Joel Segal Award". As he was going up to get it, they played Viva La Vida! I love when Coldplay sneaks into random things, it makes me smile :D

"Revista Veja", a Brazilian Magazine, did a nice interview with Chris Martin after San Jose's soundcheck. It's in portuguese and a bit long so, maybe we could gather some people to translate it. When asked if Coldplay is the biggest rock band nowadays he said yes, but only because U2 and Green Day haven't released records this year. He talked a little bit about his Obama's support. And to stalkers on call, when he was asked about how does he get rid of unwanted fans he answered he's seldom recognized in the streets and lots of people go talking to him thinking he's James Blunt, who had a huge success with the song 'You're beautiful'. He talked a bit about paps, Britne…
