Buttercup Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 It was actually the name of another band from University College and they didn't want it, so Chris & co. took it. I think that's how it went... :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
';' Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 "We all lived in the same building and we took the name 'Coldplay' from Tim, one of our other flatmates who also had a band. He decided he didn't like the name any more because it was too depressing," says Martin. there you go :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carrie3078 Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 that's cool. I never saw that before. But yeah, technically the name came from both. The play and their friends band. And I don't think the name is depressing at all. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's one of the best band names out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buttercup Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 Where did you find that Ian?? :shock: Yes, starfish is worse, or Hooties & The Blowfish, what is with this fish thing?? :?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuzanna Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 It's because of Will's fish fondness. I've read somewhere that he has a serious "fish problem"- he can't get enough of the stuff. :wink: NO, I'm just kidding. But I'm glad they changed it. Starfish is a horrible name.

zuzanna Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 It's because of Will's fish fondness. I've read somewhere that he has a serious "fish problem"- he can't get enough of the stuff. Oh no!
