May 8, 200818 yr What are the instruments used ..... LIVE it is gonna fucked up .... it is like an orchestra!!! Violon, piano, drums, synthertisers I'd like to hear a cover with only the violon... :D
May 8, 200818 yr Some up-to-date equipment lists would be nice. Any instrument experts keep your eyes peeled. Failing that, we could get Debs to find out for us.
May 8, 200818 yr I swear I hear harpsichord in there. Right when Chris is singing about "revolutionaries wait, for my head on a silver plate".
May 8, 200818 yr ^ I think that may just be piano, if I remember rightly, but you could be right. I'll give it another listen.
May 8, 200818 yr I still have this crazy idea that the new tour and what is going to be different might be the addition of a full or partial orchestra to accompany the band.
May 8, 200818 yr Lol maybe they were a little TOO influenced by arcade fire and they decided to recruit a whole strings section into their band. Coldplay=10 piece.
May 8, 200818 yr Not to put a damper on anyone's day, but who says theyre gonna play it live? A lot of great songs they havent played much or even at all (Sparks, We Never Change, Green Eyes, X&Y, Twisted Logic), so theres no guarantee theyll even play it.:\
May 8, 200818 yr Oh, I thought it was instruments used on the album, not the song. I take back the tabla(s) :P
May 8, 200818 yr Cello, violin, piano, acoustic guitar, electric bass, electric guitar, drums.... flutes and bells
May 8, 200818 yr Violins (1st and 2nd) Violas Cellos Harpsichord Bass Drum Electric bass Cymbals Chimes (Tubular Bells) Electric Guitar Choir Keyboard Synthesizer Percussion (Kettle Drums) I hear no woodwinds of any kind. Just about every instrument is a string, percussion, or vocal.
May 8, 200818 yr Viva wasn't on their rehearsal list... something tells me we wont here it live what is it gonna be chris and an orchestra?
May 8, 200818 yr if anyone cares it sounds like a 12 part string section, possibly 14 if theyve gone for a conventional arrangement. Just think of a triple quartet to do away with tuning problems.
December 26, 20196 yr Violins (1st and 2nd) Violas Cellos Harpsichord Bass Drum Electric bass Cymbals Chimes (Tubular Bells) Electric Guitar Choir Keyboard Synthesizer Percussion (Kettle Drums) I hear no woodwinds of any kind. Just about every instrument is a string, percussion, or vocal. I know I’m late but do you know what synth it is???
December 26, 20196 yr I know I’m late but do you know what synth it is??? No synths... no harpsichord..no tubular bells
December 26, 20196 yr are you sure about the harpsichord because in the chorus I think I heard some...
December 26, 20196 yr are you sure about the harpsichord because in the chorus I think I heard some... Tack piano.... "We were in a studio in New York, this place called the Magic Shop, and it had this thing called a tack piano there, which sounds like an old honky-tonk piano, where you put little tacks in the hammers"
