Let me know what you think of it either on my comments there or go to the youtube page. I want desperately to go see coldplay in atlanta this fall but the tickets are over 100 bucks a pop! Anywho, thanks for the cool forum!

Hey, that's really quite good...all the synth parts are really well put together, hard to do with Coldplay's new stuff. I'm impressed!~:)

 

When you add in Rome and Jerusalem, the idea of it being Christ really makes sense. There's only one small problem with that explanation: According to the lyrics in the official tour programme, the actual line is 'I know St. Peter won't call my name', which was obviously not the case with Christ. (However, since it's widely believed by Christians that he descended into Hell to bear our sins, it could still fit.)

 

Thanks for the insight and a good cover. Might want to correct the lyrics in the vid, though.:)

Yeah, The lyrics people in charge of putting the lyrics up on the screen messed up a couple of the lyrics. It's an interesting song to me either way and we had a great time doing it. It was a pretty crazy song to do and I'm hoping folks enjoy it.

 

Thanks for the nice comments and you can check out more of that band on my youtube account or on my webpage! Thanks!

 

I wonder if Chris Martin will reply to this thread and tell me what those lyrics are all about....hmmm.

Thanks to everyone for checking this out. It got over 1,000 views in one week. Anyone going to see coldplay in Atlanta?

Great cover. I find when my band covers it i use my guitar as a chello part instead....kinda makes it more full. But amazing anyways great job!

Maybe you can just sigur ros it :P

We actually have a Violin bow we use on our guitar.. And if you have not yet seen the GuitarViol, then you are missing out. It is an acoustic guitar modded with some Cello strings.. It gets the highs of a violin and the lows of a cello and all the easiness of having a fret board. That is my next big purchase. Beautiful instrument and AMAZING sound. You can find videos of the dude who created it on youtube. Just prepare to be blown away!

watching videos of it now, it's a beautiful instrument!

I've not yet found where to buy it, but I know it's bound to be expensive. Suprised Chris Martin or someone else hasn't jumped on it yet.

I found the price and place to buy this thing.. With a price tag of 6,500 I think I won't be getting one for a long time. http://www.togamanguitars.com/

Just talked to some folks about picking up one of these guitarviol things and I think i will be the envy of everyone. Chris Martin should get one as well.

Then you are missing out. It is an acoustic guitar modded with some Cello strings.. It gets the highs of a violin and the lows of a cello and all the easiness of having a fret board. That is my next big purchase. Beautiful instrument and AMAZING sound. You can find videos of the dude who created it on you tube

It's wonderful but costs an arm and a leg...I might be able to afford it thirty years down the line but in the mean time I could use that same money to get a pretty decent car.
