:laugh1: haha, well i can't very well go around taking pictures of perfect strangers. and like i say, none of them are IDENTICAL to jonny or will or guy--they just have that general look to their faces and have similar hair. but i just find it funny that there are so many coldplay-esque guys here...too bad they're all older than me.

Seems like you got some good looking guys at your school. :wink3:

 

I used to be a big fan of techno and dance music (still am, kind of) and I just downloaded that KarlG remix of speed of sound- and i can't stop playing it! Even though it's an 8 minute song. :P But speed of sound remixes are really good, the original and the remixes are awesome to dance to. :dance:

I had a dream that I was listening to a Coldplay song on the radio or somewhere a month or so ago. On the song synopsis thingy, some of the lyrics that stood out in my dream were on it.

You don't have to believe me.

 

Edit: It was the "Violet Hill" one. "If you love me, won't you let me know?"

It may have already been posted ages ago, but I just stumbled upon this interview with Guy that I hadn't read before. It's from the TL Audio site, and the photo of Guy is attributed to Coldplaying.com, so I guess it definitely has already been posted thinking about it, but oh well:

 

The date says September 2008, I have a feeling that is a typing error as it is only March 2008, anyway...

 

Coldplay Keep It Warm

September 2008

 

Although their first EP, titled ‘Safety' was released back in 1998, it was there 2000 hit ‘Yellow' that helped the band embark on their steady rise to fame.

 

Now classed as one of the largest selling rock bands, with record sales of over 17 million world-wide, it is amazing to think that the band started as just 4 students with a passion for music.

 

Respected world-wide for their honest lyrics, driving melodies and awe inspiring anthems, these 4 gentlemen will soon be releasing their forth album.

 

We caught up with bassist Guy Berryman at Coldplay’s private office and studio in North London, a place where the TL Audio VTC takes pride of place in the bands studio.

 

 

Firstly, congratulations to you for your continued success and ability to create such moving music.

 

1. You guys have had an amazing career so far, but what would you say has been the defining moment for you on a personal level?

 

GB - I think it was the first time we headlined Glastonbury, I mean festivals are always great but that’s kind of like the king of festivals. There’s just so many people there and its just very special thing to do. I was kinda beside myself with excitement!

 

2. How do you think Coldplay have managed to form their own unique sound within their music?

 

GB - "Well you know I think that stems from us being four individuals and everyone being an important member of the band and able to express ideas. I think when you get that combination of ideas and people?Like if you look at bands like ‘The Beatles?and ‘The Clash?and that they’re all bands with strong personalities within the group?I think that sort of democracy has really helped shape our sound."

 

3. Why when you were building this facility and choosing a desk did you decide to choose an analogue console?

 

GB - “Well when we’re in this preproduction phase that we’re in, we use Logic as a production tool and a small control surface, but we wanted analogue on the way in as a kind of like a front end for the sounds. What we hear back then, which might not actually be finished recordings, will hear full and inspiring."

 

4. What do you like best about your TL Audio VTC Console? How do you use it in the typical session?

 

GB - “Its very hands-on, very simple - it feels good and the EQ’s are very musical. You don’t have to play around for a long time to get a good sound from the channels. Its also obviously got a very nice old vintage sound ?but it has reliability as well, you don’t have to keep pulling strips out of it all the time to keep it maintained. We use it as a front end going into our digital application - which is Logic. That’s not to say that we wont kind of send stuff back out and use it is as a mixer as well! It’s certainly got a lot of musicality about it and its just very flexible."

 

5. Is it true that you Guy, collect vintage gear that is music or recording studio related? What is it that gets you going with the vintage models?

 

GB - “Yeah! Absolutely. I just think old stuff tends to have more character and soul to it. You know, people are so caught up on having everything sounding clean and nice these days, that sometimes I think it’s the distortion and the failures of old pieces which can add warmth and all kinds of stuff. I’m kind of nostalgic when it comes to the history of recording, so I love the idea of using a compressor on my bass that you know, maybe the Beatles used! It gives you that little bit of extra confidence. Also its like treasure, I like going into vintage stores and finding things in dusty corners."

 

6. If you could have participated in any single recording session over the last 50 years, who’s would it have been and why?

 

GB - “God! Well, it might have been something like ‘Dark Side of the Moon’… definitely something at Abbey Road I think, so ‘Dark Side of the Moon' or ‘Abbey Road' maybe just because they’re also my two favourite sounding records of all time and the songs are great, I would’ve loved to have just been that fly on the wall seeing exactly how everything was done "

 

7. Is it true that Timberland and Brian Eno will be producing the forthcoming album?

 

GB - "(Laughs) Well, we’re working with Brian, but erm we haven’t made any plans as yet to work with anyone else - we’re working actually with two people, Brian Eno and Markus Dravs. They both bring different things to the table, Markus is coming more from the engineering point of view and whereas Brian is more of the kinda ideas guy. Hopefully between the two of them we’ll have a really good-sounding idea! At this stage in time we’re really just throwing a lot of ideas around "

 

8. The new album is due out later this year, any juicy gossip or release dates yet?

 

GB - “No, not as yet. We’re just going to keep going until we’re all happy with it!"

^Not sure I've seen that one before, thanks! Or maybe I read it and forgot about it, but anyway.

 

From what I can tell though, they must have conducted this interview sometime last year. Good news about the Timbaland thing though, Guy basically dismissed it.

 

 

I had a dream that I was listening to a Coldplay song on the radio or somewhere a month or so ago. On the song synopsis thingy, some of the lyrics that stood out in my dream were on it.

You don't have to believe me.

Impossibibible :rolleyes:

For some reason, I had been thinking today they took inspiration from A Dark Side of the Moon.. And sure enough, Guy says as much!! What makes Pink Floyd popular is their exploration into the bizarre side of music (and of thought), and the excitement that comes from exploring the other side of things.. Coldplay has done well with that as well on AROBTTH.

^is it really dead today? i think it's been deader before...well i think that's because now that i'm in school, i'm usually on at like 10 AM here, which is like 3PM for UK and a little later in other places where people are, so it's kind of a dead time around the world!

 

BUT WHERE IS THE STAR?!?! they HAVE to know what date they're going to release it and they HAVE to know what they're going to call it if it's going to be out in may like everyone says. all this delay in telling us makes me think it WON'T be out in may and we'll have to wait even longer, which makes me incredibly sad and frustrated. so why aren't they telling us?! *whines*

The forum seems dead to me because im on spring break and keep checking in every 10 minutes every day. :P

 

Anyway, i've always wondered this: You know on the Live 2003 dvd during yellow [my all time favorite version of that song] chris is like, "if you stand up we'll buy you all ice cream!"

...Did the crowd get the ice cream??? :laugh3:

^ Oh yeah i remember that, haha. I doubt it though, i imagine there would have been a lot of mouths to feed!

 

I feel like whining too Chelsea, but I just don't have the energy. I'm thinking by friday this week its almost garunteed that we'll get some kind of report, seeing as its been exactly 5 weeks since the last P entry. And he said they would have it all sorted by then. I'm not saying it will happen for sure but it's certainly more than likely.

 

I dunno, it feels like I'm kidding myself right now. I think I need to keep myself occupied more often.

i'm hopeful that they'll tell us this week as well, but then again, that's what i said last week. i really need to stop going on about it but i want to know so badly...so far 2008 has been not a great year in my book, especially compared to 2007, and i could really use something like a coldplay album to make the year start looking up. but even if i was as happy as i was three months ago, I'D STILL WANT TO KNOW.

 

in the next week, i'm going to try to keep my mouth shut about wanting THE star because a large portion of my time here in the past month has been spent whining. but if there's nothing up by next saturday, let's say....well then, i might go crackers :freak: :D

:uhoh:

I'll make sure I don't check the forum that day...you might want to apologize to Ian early for any messes you make

 

"It's to late to apologize, it to laaaate, I said its too late to apologize its to laaate"

 

Sorry, had to throw that in

 

It's really bad, when I watch the Live 03 versoin on Yellow, I have the sudden urge to stand up...must.have.icecream.
