Coldplay

The idea came from some threads where some coldplayers share what they like or dislike from the band. In this case the title says everything. Just share what you like about each album Coldplay has released.

I'm extremely impressed by how Chris conducts himself. He seems tremendously calm/happy. He listens as intently as anyone I've seen. He's so kind to people. In an interview, he said he worked hard at this, but didn't elaborate. QUESTION: How did he get so chill/kind? I've heard him talk about mindfulness. I'm assuming he does tons of it. Anything else?

When listening to White Shadows, I always notice a background electric guitar (I think) melody during the chorus that plays single notes in a row. If my ears are correct, it goes something like ... . ... . ... . ........ You can listen to it here (you can hear it in the album version as well, but the vocals do drown it out a little bit so the instrumental is better): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6AZp36OaYI Mobile Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6AZp36OaYI I know that at first glance this doesn't translate to anything that makes sense, but since the artwork and theme of X&Y is all about the Baudot Code and codes in general, I was wonderin…

Hi people, I am really curious about that connection between Coldplay, Jay Z and Beyonce..looking back, they`ve never had anything in common: so different music styles,so different persons...How come they became so close when they really are so different in every sense? Do you have any idea or information? Thanks!

What kind of Coldplay gifts have you recieved or given to someone? :arobtth::gs::mx::parachutes::vlv::x&y:

This is just for fun. Let's share something to wait patiently until the release of AHFOD! I'll start with this video

Coldplay The rise and rise of Coldplay was rapid. Chris Martin later explained that he was impersonating Neil Young while entertaining guests when he came across the first chord of a song, which stuck with him for a bit then in a Neil Young voice he sang "look at the stars". Martin went on to further explain that the word "yellow" has absolutely no meaning whatsoever and while writing the rest of the song he tried his best to change yellow to something else since every lyric before yellow made no sense but in the end the word "yellow" just sounded right. Coldplay appeared from nowhere and in no time at all, we were all singing; “Look at the stars, Look how they sh…

Dear fans, what do you think about this page and this kind of Coldplaying? I was thinking about giving people chance to express their feelings and share some special situations...how Coldplay helps you and changes your life? https://www.facebook.com/Coldplay-Thanks-927930607244004/

How I came to terms with my Coldplay fandom Chris Martin and co have just been unveiled as the Super Bowl half-time show entertainment to the usual groans, but I’m used to the haters by now – and I won’t think twice about belting out Viva la Vida Coldplay: sitting very comfortably in the middle of the road. Photograph: Brian J Ritchie/Rex Shutterstock Matthew Cantor For more than a decade now, I have harbored a secret – one that I have shared only with my closest friends and family. I avoid discussing the subject for fear of derision from my colleagues and the complete loss of my peers’ respect. But I’m tired of hiding. With the release of their latest album, I…

Alright, here's a silly one for you :P I've been trying to work this out for ages. Anyone know what book Chris is reading here? I have a strong feeling it's Dickens, but not sure. Ideas?

I need clarification.

Hi I'm new to all of this but I love the sense of community :) And how people will discuss all facets of the band. Or anything on their minds at the time O.o Anyway it is so great and Id love to hear your reasons for the above :3 You can choose to answer one or all. Anything is welcome here :D I'll start with answering all three. Favorite album: X&Y: Love how the production is a very nice mix of space rock and syth/electronica, Will's metronomic drumming (Great on Talk, White Shadows and Twisted Logic), Chris and his sometimes cheesy lyrics sometimes inspired lyrics in addition to his beautiful piano/organ/acoustic playing (Fix You, X&Y, Speed Of Sound and …

Are coldplay number 1 this weekend? Or is it next they could be

From Adele to Coldplay, ‘Hello’ to bland British pop Ludovic Hunter-Tilney Music from the UK aims for maximum palatability, writes Ludovic Hunter-Tilney ©Getty The UK trade deficit is the hole that can never be filled, but one sector of the nation’s export economy is doing its best. A world that long ago stopped dressing in Lancashire textiles and eating with Sheffield cutlery cannot stop singing along to Adele’s “Hello”. The song is from the artist’s new album 25, which sold 4.5m copies in its first two weeks in the US and has topped iTunes charts in 110 countries. She leads a generation of Britons who are exporting music to all corners of the globe. UK acts w…

Chris Martin: the rock god who thrives in the face of critical sneers Coldplay’s frontman has never been much loved by critics and yet his band, with a new album, still prosper, now being picked as the prestigious Super Bowl act. No wonder he likes being himself Chris Martin: ‘I don’t want to change places with any person in history.’ In a 2002 interview, Chris Martin was asked whether he believed in himself. At the time, his band, Coldplay, were accelerating to escape velocity. He had just met Gwyneth Paltrow, with whom he would have two children and a 10-year marriage. Jack Nicholson and Minnie Driver had begun to appear at the band’s gigs. “I had this argum…

Anyone know of a site to buy the new album on in Hi-Fidelity or high res? I was thinking of ripping my own from the CD, but if I can save myself a trip and buy a high fidelity copy online that would be cool. The only website I found that has it for pre order is UK only...

Good piece here on the rise of Coldplay: http://www.thisdayinmusic.com/pages/coldplay

I was thinking about how much I love Coldplay. And then I was thinking to myself how much I love Sigur Rós. Then I thought to myself, man I'd love for the two of them to do something together, that would be a magic of unspeakable beauty. But then I brought myself back to reality lol, and though, hmm I wonder if Sigur Rós, its members, have mentioned Coldplay in any interview or something, but I couldn't find anything like that. So then I thought the reverse: Maybe Coldplay, or Chris has mentioned Sigur Rós, or Jónsi in an interview... And I found this article!: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/3553700/Chris-Martin-Coldplay-will-never-be-cool.html I the…
