ohhh I love that interview!! They are so excited and admit it :)

and they were so happy when they won these awards. So cute when Chis jumped out of his chair .... Hope they win all 4 at the brits!!!!!!

I'd like it if he whitened his teeth, then he'd be totally perfect.

 

.. But he's perfect like this :D so natural and so cute !

Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals

Best Rock Album

Song Of Year

 

If you were on about before these Grammys, they've won 4

Congratulation to Coldplay and to all the Fans. :nice: :clap::clap:

Sorta off topic but, does anyone have an iPhone?

Because on the iTunes store you can download an official band app for Death Cab for Cutie! It's REALLY awesome! you can check out their store, look at pictures, watch videos, check their discography, get up to date news, check out tour info, the band's history. It would INCREDIBLE if they made a Coldplay one! I know I'd even pay a buck or two for it! I sent a "question/idea" to Orcale about it and emailed the maker of the Death Cab application

check it out at this website! http://itunes.apple.com/W[/url]ebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=301783212&mt=8

Chris needs to get some more clothes though He seems to wear that shirt quite a bit

Haha, yeah! Wonder if it's always the same shirt, or if he has a wardrobe full of those shirts :laugh3:

 

And yellow teeth? Never noticed this before... But please stay yellow :glasses2:

I LOVE that shirt! I wonder where he got it:thinking:

The thing with Gwyneth still bothers me. WHY is she introducing Radiohead when that jackass Thom Yorke thinks his sh*t doesn't stink when it comes to Coldplay?

 

At least Radiohead didn't use any pre-recorded music during their Grammy performance. 15 Step was utterly brilliant compared to another canned version of Viva La Vida. Plus if it weren't for Radiohead, there wouldn't be a Coldplay (Chris has said so himself about 100 times), so she should be more than happy to introduce them.

Me too, I'd love to have one :dance:

I thought they were BOTH brilliant!

I thought Coldplays performance was very underwelming, I was so looking forward to seeing them perform aswell. The best bit was Chris and Jay-z, then it was pants. It was just plain old boring compaired to some of the other performances. I don't like Radiohead but I even enjoyed there performance more than Coldplays. The God of music, Paul McCartney, he was fab as always!!!!

JONNY AND CHRIS ARE MARRRRRRRRRIEEEDDDD AT LAST :dance::dance::dance:

 

Sorry I had to do that it just looked too amusing out of context

 

:lol: finally :rolleyes:

this is before their show actually... they talk about what they plan on preforming..

and it's in their dressing room :nice:

 

The thing with Gwyneth still bothers me. WHY is she introducing Radiohead when that jackass Thom Yorke thinks his sh*t doesn't stink when it comes to Coldplay?

 

IF she even had a vote on this, they probably did offer her to announce Coldplay because that would be a real crowd pleaser now wouldn't it, but I bet either chris or Gwyneth turned that option down as they were already drawing enough attention as it was..

 

that said, Radiohead did brilliant, and if you think your own music is shit, then why bother at all? :inquisitive:

I don't care what anyone says, I loved their performance!

 

teehee their jackets were so colourful you could spot them easily! :D

 

 

Congrats boys!! Three Grammys is a great accomplishment!! :D:D

little annoyed they got less than wayne and though they should have gotten at least 5 I'm still proud! :D:D

I thought Coldplay did an AWESOME job! as energetic and fun to watch as always! Radiohead was awesome and Paul with Dave was a huge treat!

I wonder... In the last Messenger they told us the boys would bring home something from the Grammys, for the competition. What will that be??

A lock of Robert Plant's hair!

I know this may seem a little sad and pathetic to some people, but when I watch these awards shows, I often look out for any coldplay members whenever the camera is on the crowd or something, well no trouble at the grammys!!!! The jackets stood out like nothing else!!! You could see where they were sat from a mile away when everyone else just melted into the background! Made me laugh!!! In a good way that is.

Exactly! I'm guessing that's really why they wore them too! To stand out! Everyone else had on some sort of the same exact suit. And people make fun of them for it! But The Beatles did it, Adam and the Ants did it, Slipknot does it, The Clash did it. But Coldplay is the only one who gets shit for it!

Science Supports Coldplay/Limestone Comparison

 

chris-martin-bbc-live-300x269.jpg

 

I’m pretty much happy to ignore this year’s Grammys completely: Kokayi didn’t win, Stevie Wonder suffered the indignity of sharing a stage with the Jonas Brothers, and I won’t even get started on the bizarre Chris Brown/Rihanna incident that took place the night before the ceremony.

 

But there’s one moment of Sunday’s telecast that I just can’t get out of my head.

 

While accepting one of the skrillion Grammys that Coldplay nabbed, Chris Martin said, “We’re not, of course, the heaviest of rock bands, you may have noticed. We’re kind of the limestone of rock bands. Not as hard, but still charming.”

 

Gotta love the Brits and their self-deprecating “humour,” but c’mon-limestone isn’t exactly granite or anything, but isn’t it used in the construction of buildings? If Martin is going to try to be all cute and self-effacing, he should go all out: if he wants to compare his band to a soft rock, he should really reference the softest rock known to man.

 

But what rock would that be?

 

Because my science schoolin’ ended in the 10th grade, I turned to the Reston-based U.S. Geological Survey, our country’s foremost authority on minerals and rocks, and asked for help.

 

 

I initially thought Coldplay should be compared to talc, not only because talc is extremely soft, but because I like the idea of comparing the band to one of the essential ingredients in baby powder. But it turns out that talc is a mineral, not a rock, according to Kate Johnson, program coordinator of the USGS Mineral Resources Program.

 

Johnson graciously indulged my geology-related music question and sent me a very helpful e-mail pointing me to a table (taken from a resource titled Principles of Engineering Geology) that lists the relative hardness of rocks.

 

According to that table, limestone is indeed one of the softest rocks around, second only to shale.

 

“[Y]ou can see that although limestone isn’t very hard, shale is even less hard,” Johnson wrote. “So, from this we can learn that although limestone is categorized as a soft rock, shale is an even softer rock.”

 

“Summary: the softest mineral is talc; shale is a very soft rock. But limestone is definitely a soft rock, too. Good call by Mr. Martin, I’d say,” she concluded.

 

So, as it turns out, Chris Martin knows a thing or two about rock–well, sedimentary rock, at least.
