True but I think we can easily say our Magne isn't happy without at least 12 projects going on at once. It's when that 13th or 14th project comes along that he starts getting stretched a little thin ;)

 

Something tells me that Guy is the same way. Since I am a relative newb to the whole Coldplay thing (although I've liked their music forever, I don't know much about them personally), and since we're waiting for new stuff from Apparatjik, how about you Guy fans tell us a bit more about Mr. Berryman? :D

Oooh, that'll take our minds off Apparatjik for quite a while, we might actually forget about them & turn this thread into another thread for Guy! :P

So, where do I begin?

Apart from what's on his page on WikiPedia, here're some random facts about him:

 

- Smokes.

- Drinks.

- Rare oldies collector for his juke box.

- Has more than 55 different cameras in his house, hence his obsession with photography.

- Shopping-holic.

- Runs 14 miles almost everyday with Coldplay's personal trainer Dan Green, though he was never into sports.

- It was his idea to mix Coldplay's debut album in America which, according to Chris Martin, was a turning point in their career.

- Along with his passion for bass, he likes to play drums.

- He listens to Kraftwerk, The Beatles, Gram Parsons.

 

That's it for now, when I remember anything else, I'll post it. :D

his page on urban dictionary....:P:P http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Guy+Berryman

 

 

yes he plays a mean bass....:sneaky: along with other instruments, he ran the London marathon last year and came in the top 2,000 which is pretty impressive! he wanted to run it again this year but his hip got injured :cry:

 

he is all into fashion and he designed the coldplay viva la vida outfits that they are wearing during this tour. he is a gadget head... pretty good on the computer, and he fought to keep White Shadows on X&Y (thank god!) he dislikes Shiver and Green Eyes, cus he thinks they sound too country!

 

he wrote the first lines of Yellow... "look at the stars, look how they shine for you, and everything you do..."

 

he is called the "Handsome One" on coldplays website and also known as the "Dark Horse"

he doesnt have a fav. color except that it is NOT yellow :P:P

and his fav. childhood memory is changing his little brother, mark's nappies :lol: :P:P

 

>>> eye candy!

I'll add:

 

-he collects Beatle's cover record for his jukebox

-He's left handed but play bass with the right hand

-Favorite beer: stella artois XD

-One of his favorite coldplay song is crest of waves

-He was the one who sheltered and refilled Chris with vodka for Chris' first drunken experience XD (Chris repay him by throwing up evrywhere in his toilets XDD)

-he likes to go on vacation near Nice in france (have to make a stalk trip one day XDD)

 

-He was the one who sheltered and refilled Chris with vodka for Chris' first drunken experience XD (Chris repay him by throwing up evrywhere in his toilets XDD)

)

 

Waaaa? :lol: I learn new things every day...

Waaaa? :lol: I learn new things every day...

Chris talked about it in an interview, the way he described Guy's refilling with Vodka is funny!! (see also Coldplay's unofficial bio which quote Chris's interview). I pity Guy who end up supporte him on the street to bring Chris to Guy's place while Chris was singing out of tune drunken XDD

This happened while recording Parachutes when Will quited the band after Chris got mad at him for no reason... To punish himself, he went to Guy's place to get drunk XD

hahaha o yes i remember reading about that drunken experience of Chris's! :lol::P so funny how he just gave him all that vodka, then Guy leaves his house to go out with his girlfriend and comes back and Chris has thrown up everywhere and rolling around on the ground saying he will never drink again in his life! :P:P omg those boys :rolleyes:

 

 

i know! i love Crest of Waves so much too! :heart: :wacky:

Oh. God. *thud*

 

Ok, now that I've had my swoon of the day (rawr!), thanks everyone for this info! From these descriptions I can quite easily see why he's such good friends with Magne :) Keep the info coming!

 

Now...where did those Mew fans go to? Can someone tell us about Jonas? I know even less about him than about Guy.

 

And poor Martin Terefe gets missed out from the discussion but there are not so many places to get information about him online...if anyone knows anything about him, please share!

^^ haha well u need to visit the Berrythread on here if u want more goodies like that pic up there :wink3: ;)

 

and you should tell us some about Mags....i know a little about him, but not nearly enough as i would like too! :) esp. since u said u can see how him and Guy would get along so well! :P

Jonas:

  • Born 21 September 1976
  • He's lead singer & guitarist of Mew - the original members of Mew have been friends since they were 6
  • Mew's songwriting is a collective effect - they develop ideas together.
  • He is also a visual artist - he makes short animated films that sometimes get shown on Danish tv
  • Jonas likes Indian food and a Danish icecream/sodapop called Champagne Brus
  • ..and he's another one that doesn't like sport..:rolleyes:
     

 

Interesting really, that all three of them (sorry Martin ;)) are rather artistic aswell as musical. You can see some animations and musical snippets at Jonas's website..http://www.jonasbjerre.com/frames.html

 

:)

Ooh I wanna see?! Is it on youtube somewhere?

 

BTW, I just found out what Apparatjik means.

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparatchik

 

Apparatchik (Russian: аппара́тчик' date=' Russian pronunciation: [ɐpɐˈratɕɪk'] plural apparatchiki) is a Russian colloquial term for a full-time, professional functionary of the Communist Party or government; i.e., an agent of the governmental or party "apparat" (apparatus) that held any position of bureaucratic or political responsibility, with the exception of the higher ranks of management.

 

Members of the "apparat" were frequently transferred between different areas of responsibility, usually with little or no actual training for their new areas of responsibility. Thus, the term apparatchik, or "agent of the apparatus" was usually the best possible description of the person's profession and occupation.
