Thompson Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Hey I thought it would be cool to have a thread full of Random facts about Coldplay This could be an opportunity to find out things you don't know about the band, that other people do, or simply just to show off your knowledge on the best band in the world ;) Obviously theres gonna be some facts that a few people already know, so don't give someone a hard time for posting something obvious! I'll Start; Guy Berryman Joined the band when he approached Chris and Jonny in a pub he worked in, he was drunk and demanded to be the bassist. The Rest is History :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cold_love23 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 good idea for a thread :) hmm random fact... the first band rehearsal that they had was at a flat in camden that Jonny and Chris used to share. according to Jonny, the ceiling was shaking because there were a bunch of strippers on the floor above them practicing their routine. :laugh3: Edited to Add: :laugh3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowtalk Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 They were also once called Big Fat Noises and some other weird name Will once had to use a microphone as a bass drum, as the drum kit he was going to use was removed by the band before hand, who took a bad turn on the concert organisers.

Thompson Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 In an ITV, Will said that Chris & Jonny had heard him play in the doorm at university... So which one is true?? I got my info from an unofficial biography of coldplay That doesn't mean it's true though, but it sounds quite believable Or it may just be a rumour..... Don't get them started on that game again :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudonym Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Chris and the guys chose to perform Politik first at Glastonbury Festival 2002. This was when AROBTTH was not yet released so no one had heard the song. The band was expected to open with Don't Panic among fans attending; imagine the surprise. It was also a statement against the many bad reviews of Parachutes, calling them soft and " bed-wetters" music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So which one is true?? they talk about here at about 1:30 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aBxp6FGZOA&feature=channel_page]YouTube - MTV+ Coldplay ( parte 1 )[/ame] Jonny: "Guy brought his bass down, came up to me pissed, and said 'I wanna join your band'."

cold_love23 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Chris wishes that his final moments were in an orgie. Is that from the Rolling Stones article? because I think Chris was saying that if there was a biopic movie being made about them he would want the last scene to be an orgy. "I would end it with a massive orgy, becaue I think audiences would dig that." -Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
