January 18, 201610 yr I was just looking at the Make a story thread (the @Jaytheblue one). Those stories reminded me of a question I have quite a bit... well, who were the original Coldplay? Are they split now? Are they still together? Do they have any songs? Are they still writing songs? What is their msuic like, if they have any original songs? I'm asking this because in all the info I read they don't mention anything about the band specifically. Mysterious and intriguing.... I also searched up "who were the original Coldplay" and nothing that I was looking for came up. Of course that can be tracked back to poor searchwords but hey, what better could I do? :P
January 18, 201610 yr Ah wait, I found a previous Oracle answer about this... http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/index.php?posts/2466560
January 18, 201610 yr No need to, I know the answer for I looked into that a while ago ! :D Tim Crompton and friends renamed themselves into The Bettina Motive and released one EP in 2002 by the name of Fully Spun. They don't seem to have released anything after that...
January 18, 201610 yr Here is more info about it (it was interesting to see that Chris's Parachutes Era girlfriend Lily Sobhani was involved with the work !) http://www.discogs.com/Bettina-Motive-Fully-Spun/release/3828186

They don't seem to have released anything after that... That link actually works for me LOL But you explain it better :P But that's interesting... thanks for telling me, that's interesting. The original Coldplay actually did release an EP... and now no one knows about where Coldplay actually came from. No one probably knows about that EP either, and what the original Coldplay actually were :P Interesting information though. Thanks! :D The link does explain where he is now though.

I tried but no luck ! It looks like to me that I'll never know what they sound like then :( Not the biggest deal though XD it does say what style, and it is rock... interesting.

I know, the only chance is to buy a used CD. If I was in UK I'd do that, but not with these shipping costs...hope that one day someone will leak it onto the web. Thanks for the link to the Oracle, didn't know this Tim was still in a band...and found this article (which has Coldplay-bashing in the first line...plus, I doubt Chris just wanted them for their music but for the fact that it is his old friend's band...and he took their name :D) http://www.theguardian.com/music/2009/nov/16/new-band-high-wire

January 18, 201610 yr I thought they had taken the name from Keane :s Nah. They just wanted to get Keane's keyboard player on board, whose name was also Tim coincidentally :)
January 18, 201610 yr Nah. They just wanted to get Keane's keyboard player on board, whose name was also Tim coincidentally :) I don't know what this could possibly be, then. http://www.feelnumb.com/2009/11/15/coldplay-name-was-handed-down-from-keane/

January 18, 201610 yr So I tried this Sent from my Death Star using Tapatalk Godlike huh. Funny I heard from the Instagrams that they were going to receive the "Godlike Genius" award from NME. Me thinks the title is just a tad bit overblown.

January 18, 201610 yr Did you start having a Coldplay attack? Not really. I just turned to my friend and said "what a lucky day!". It took a while for him to get why I said it, though. I had a...huh...not very good day yesterday so hearing Coldplay in the first class of the day was just what I needed :)
January 18, 201610 yr I don't know what this could possibly be, then. http://www.feelnumb.com/2009/11/15/coldplay-name-was-handed-down-from-keane/ I have no idea, but the Oracle itself has also confirmed that he got it from Tim Crompton, not Tim Rice-Oxley, so I think this article just got it messed up...
January 18, 201610 yr A local TV music program wants fans to vote for their favorite band: Coldplay or Maroon 5 So, if you fancy helping me a little bit :) I want to see Coldplay [MEDIA=twitter]689204868578316288[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://twitter.com/tvtelehit/status/689204868578316288?s=09 Edit: Maroon 5 won the poll, I changed the channel and I watched a movie

January 19, 201610 yr I'm not entirely sure what I'm supposed to do with that because it doesn't mention Coldplay.... Don't worry, the show is over lol, thanks for trying to help!
January 19, 201610 yr Oh, did Coldplay win? Sadly no. The TV host kept saying she wanted to watch Adam Levine :mad:
