Hi

 

was thinking about what bands influenced coldplay. just thought it might be a good idea, as i haven't heard some of the music by these bands. are there anymore bands that aren't on the list?

 

(in no particular order)

 

Jeff Buckley

U2

Radiohead

New Order

Kraftwerk

Brian Eno

Echo And The Bunnymen

Sigor Ros

Kate Bush

Johnny Cash

Mercury Rev

Bob Dylan

Flaming Lips

The Beatles

REM

David Bowie

Elbow

Pink Floyd

Arcade Fire

Interpol

 

Maybe some of the bands influences aren't just of a musical nature, i don't know?

Muse is another one... I think they said Clocks was inspired by Muse... and Twisted Logic

Bowie?

Oasis, Genesis(Guy)

Stone Roses

AH HA or somfink like that (the Take on Me Guys)

Pixies and ride also (well for jonny anyway)

 

Will is a big fan of Chilli peppers and finds dave grohl the best drummer ever...well not ever but i know his one of his fav's. :P

Guy is a Pink Floyd fan.

how about guy's influences: Funk, disco, james brown?

didn't realise there was so many

:lol: What about Jay Z and Eminem? Chris idol worships Jay Z!! :stunned: :lol:

:huh: :huh: are you okay An_cat? still need the ambulance?

Oh I'M FINE!!! AHAHAHA :roll: :laugh2: :freak: :wacko:

:o ok :o you say...

where did you see this thing about muse influence?

-

anyway, i don´t think coldplay is original.

they´re normal.

they kick ass ok.. but i guess they´re lucky to have this "best band" status.. just a lack of bands in the moment and they appeared in the right time.

they only started to play well enough to deserv its attention on X&Y.

-

muse should be more recognized that they are.. but they still very alternative for the greneral public..

coldplay is pop.. good pop music..

there´s this talk aout alternative but you only can pick just 2 or 3 songs in their albums that are really alternative.

muse is the inverse( excluding showbiz).

i think chris hs mensioned it a few years back in interviews

where did you see this thing about muse influence?

I think the Beatles are a big influence on them. He named his daughter Apple, which is also the name of a Beatles record company. Im not sure if this has any connection but it might.

there's no doubt that U2 has had the biggest influence on Coldplay, not necessarily musically but professionally as well. There's always the inevitable "the next U2" comparisons as Coldplay strives to replaces U2 as the biggest band in the world. Chris Martin is a professed fan of U2, as the Rolling Stones article stated, he knows U2's entire catalog. It's actually quite heartwarming to hear just how much Martin is in awe of Bono and the band.

If only I were Bono...

Pixies and ride also (well for jonny anyway)

That made me so happy :wideeyed:
