Coldplay

COLDPLAY are being paid a whopping £1.2million to play a festival in Japan later this year. If they gig for 75 minutes on both nights, they will trouser a jaw-dropping £8,000 A MINUTE. Not even a Premier League footballer or F1 star can earn that kind of wedge – it’s four times the amount paid to bands for topping the Glasto bill. Frontman CHRIS MARTIN and wife GWYNETH PALTROW could buy a lifetime’s supply of macrobiotic food. News of their payday has been spreading around the South By Southwest festival in Austin, Texas. One industry insider there said: “They say there is no money left in the industry but this shows the cash is still there for …

Yesterday I heard Clocks 2 times and I had the radio in the car on for probably no more than 20 minutes!

Please tell me how do you like Coldplays music and what do you feel when you listen it...and could you tell please what song you like the best and if u can give a link to download it...:dozey:

Coldplay at Work on "Something Different" for Upcoming Album Behind the scenes with Chris Martin and crew as they record their fourth Coldplay are currently holed up in a studio in northern London, trying to hammer out the details for their still-untitled fourth album, due out in May. On a white board, three band members have posted radically different proposed track listings for the album. Chris Martin has withheld his, hoping to lobby his colleagues a little while longer. "I heard a Bono quote once that said 'Bands shouldn't break up over money, they should break up over track listing,' " he says. "Nothing could be more pertinent at this point." To record thei…

The Coldplay frontman - who is well-known for his charity work - has been using his skills to help out at a temporary shelter for alcoholics in London. A source at the shelter, run by the Crisis charity, told Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "Chris has been doing their plumbing for them. He does this every year, for free. Apparently he's quite a dab hand with it all." Chris - who is married to Hollywood beauty Gwyneth Paltrow - is keen to remain anonymous. A Crisis spokesperson said: "We have 7,000 volunteers helping at Christmas. There are celebrities among them but we can't name those who wish to remain anonymous." It was recently revealed Coldplay's new a…

Ah, memories... I decided to upload a high quality clean version of Speed of Sound on YouTube 'cuz a lot of them on there... just aren't. Usually they're low quality, or have tidbits from TV shiz, or have the wrong resolution. Taken from my Australian Tour version of X&Y :) And it's really pretty in high quality, so it deserves it :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWOuypgQhbs

So i've been on a little coldplay absence. Use to have coldplaying a bookmark on my old computer and checked in every once in awhile. Last thing I remember was rumors of songs on for a new album. But coming back I see a bunch of new stuff so can someone give me a little summary? Is LP4 this new album? Release date? Any recordings off it?

Coldplay is an English alternative band originating from London, UK in 1996 comprised of vocalist and pianist Chris Martin, guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman and drummer Will Champion. The band's name was changed a number of times (such as The Starfish, Big Fat Noises and Trombelese) before they settled on the name Coldplay, which has been used since their first mainstream single. Having released three successful albums (all of which debuted at number one on the UK album chart,) Coldplay has also achieved great success with their singles, such as Yellow, Speed of Sound and the Grammy-winning Clocks (although, perhaps surprisingly, they have yet to achie…

Its not out yet, but Kanye's blog has some pictures of it for everyone to see. http://www.kanyeuniversecity.com/blog/?em3106=192769_-1__0_~0_-1_3_2008_0_0&em3161=&em3281= EXCITED!!

All three Coldplay albums are featured in the UK's top 20 biggest selling albums of the 21st century. A Rush Of Blood To The Head is 7th, X&Y is 9th, and Parachutes is 12th. The blurb is as follows: 7 A RUSH OF BLOOD TO THE HEAD – COLDPLAY Coldplay’s 2000 debut Parachutes was one of the most impressive ever, spinning off the hits Shiver, Yellow and Trouble, and selling nearly 2.4m copies. The anticipation of follow-up A Rush Of Blood To The Head was intensified by the enormous popularity of first single In My Place, which reached number two. The album duly raced to first week sales of 273,924. With subsequent single The Scientist and Clocks also reaching the To…

if you look at it close at about 1:45 you can see on the building behind chris a message using the x&y language ! what does it say??? anyone know http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBEYyHGbwto

...from the new issue of Q magazine: Q: In the past, you've baulked at the 'elder statesman of rock' tag. MS: It just doesn't feel really appropriate to me. Or deserved. I don't think in terms of that. Y'know, Chris Martin is a great friend of mine and I think of him as a contemporary. We do the same thing. I don't think of him as someone who is...I don't even know how old he is. [Thinks] He's...31? He's...30. Which makes 18 years between us. But I don't think about it. Does the make me hopelessly immature or does it make me kind of level in the way I regard things? I don't know. And cos this tiny piece of news doesn't really deserve a whole thread I shall add i…

3am: He's Cold Playful; Q: Isn't Chris Martin that depressed nerd who doesn't like booze, eats weird food and produces hideously bland music which is the death of rock'n'roll? A: Surprisingly, no. From: The Mirror (London, England) Date: June 20, 2005

The trouble with Coldplay is that they have to make an album that can be taken seriously like Radiohead's albums get taken seriously. While i love all there albums, Chris Martins overly sentimental lyrics prevent the band from ever making a truly classic album in the sense that what they do actually sounds original. i know the recording for prospekt has already been completed and i hope the whole album is full of dark songs. and i hope we dont have to have anymore love songs from chris when the whole music industry is saturated with such trash.

According to blog MusicThing, last week Coldplay’s old drum machine was being sold online in an eBay auction was being held as part of a “studio clearance.” The EMU SP1200 “with Kid Nepro samples” was finally sold for £740.00 GBP ($1,474.50 USD). Perhaps the lack of an EMU SP1200 will be that magical “something different” the band described to Rolling Stone while recording their new album. Oh what secrets this little drum machine could tell. If this electronic beat maker could talk, what do you think it would it say? Source: http://www.themodernage.org/2008/03/06/you-write-the-caption-if-coldplays-old-drum-machine-could-talk/

first of all, thank you to everyone who voted, although, next time check your lists twice, at least 15 lists were inaccurate and full of double songs ;) that's why i had to edit the lists myself in some places, never mind altogether 88 different Coldplay related songs got votes! are you ready for the countdown? :cool: STATISTICS: people voted: 63 number of songs that got votes: 88 EXTRA Albums rating Singles rating Excel file with members' lists/ratings Pre-Parachutes era (1998-1999) statistics Parachutes era (2000-2001) statistics A Rush Of Blood To The Head era (2002-2003) statistics X&Y era (2005-2006) statistics "The Trilogy" (1998…

YAY! 2nd post :) Anyway, let's see how creative you are. I would name it "Liquid". I dunno... sounds "elegant" :rolleyes:

CHRIS MARTIN looks more like a neighbourhood yob in his hooded puffa jacket than a millionaire rock star. The COLDPLAY singer was hiding his identity as he raced through the streets of London’s posh Primrose Hill on his bike. But the eco-friendly star was unable to hide his terrible painted nails. Chris was out without actress wife GWYNETH PALTROW — and his wedding ring was missing too. Meanwhile, Chris’s pal GUY RITCHIE was also spotted out without his missus. Despite having access to the plush £6million gym his wife MADONNA had built next door, the Snatch film director instead chose to pump iron at the Virgin Active gym in London’s Mayfair. …

The three manually dexterous members of iBand are far from the first people to post videos of themselves playing music on iPhones. But most other iMusicians, such as a guy who kicked out a Beatles medley on PocketGuitar and a fast-fingered fellow who tapped out Coldplay’s “Clocks” with the piano app, just seem to be messing around, not composing original music. IBand has its own Web site, http://www.iband.at, where in several videos you can see what performers the players have become, adding “costumed” hands and vocals. This video was posted by seanwesmusic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oJREAOIats Due to ‘popular demand’ here’s a slower version, for those of you …

SOMEWHERE IN THE VAST EMPTINESS OF CANADA -- Canadian rock musician Neil Young announced today that Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin was "the worst rock singer ever." "The guy can't carry a tune," said famous caterwauler Young. "Have you ever heard a live Coldplay recording? Listening to his voice is like listening to a frightened cat trying to escape a pit bull by clawing its way up a chalkboard." Young made his shocking statement while being interviewed on a Canadian public radio program no one listens to. The interview took place two years ago and only came to light this week when a bored Toronto Coldplay fan Googled "Chris Martin Canada" in hope that the singer…

Of course it's not official, but while on the MusicBrainz database, I came across the Coldplay page, witch told me this:

Ive got pm asking me whether Ive got Coldplay songs -the fall of man -vitamins -so sad -mining on the moon -if all else I am like what the fuck?

Am I sick? I haven't been in one of these for months and months. Actually.

Coldplay were persuaded to write the closing credit track for new British film The Escapist, a Sundance hit. Now the band have seen and loved the film, they have decided to include 'Song for the Escapist' on their forthcoming album. I hear, too, that the record company was a little miffed at having to redesign the CD artwork to include the song on the track listing, but the band insisted and their patronage will, I'm sure, give this tough British film a boost. http://film.guardian.co.uk/features/featurepages/0,,2259488,00.html

What to expect mabye. It said that the riff from the song "Death and All His Friends" sounds just like the Doobie Brothers. Mabye the new album will sound like this.:laugh3: http://youtube.com/watch?v=wYzZHV13HPE
