April 21, 200917 yr So I havn't been a Coldplay fan since the very start... probably cause I'm young. Or because I just wasn't? I dunno I think alot of people are the same way though. So it's cool when I find out all these quirky little facts about Coldplay, because I guess I don't know nearly as much as a lot of you. So I was thinking we should have a thread to post them. I'll start Apparently, Jonny lives on the same street as Amy Winehouse.
April 22, 200917 yr good idea for a thread kiran! :D and ya poor jonny!! :lol: i didnt kno that b4! :P
April 22, 200917 yr i'm sure some people already know this, but oh well. the Speed of Sound video was shot in the same studio where the Wizard of Oz was made.
April 22, 200917 yr Chris' real birth name is..... Wait for it...... Chris! :uhoh: weirrrrrd. Nah but seriously, Chris' Grandfather is the man who came up for the Idea for DST (or; Daylight Saving's Time)
April 22, 200917 yr Chris' real birth name is..... Wait for it...... Chris! :uhoh: weirrrrrd. OH MY GOD!!! why would you do that to your child???
April 22, 200917 yr All the tracks but "Fix You", "What If" and "Swallowed By The Sea" were on or off "X&Y" at some point during the recording process... Will did not like "Clocks" or "Speed of Sound" upon first listen... He changed his mind once they were mixed. Three of Coldplay's biggest hits almost didn't make it onto their respective albums and were last-minute additions: "Clocks", "Talk" and "Viva La Vida". All three were nominated for Grammys, and two won. I have more, but I'll add as the thread progresses! ;)

I have more, but I'll add as the thread progresses! ;) :drummer: that's interesting, the drumbeat on both of those is really similar, maybe he got mad during the recording of SoS and said 'screw it, I'll just reuse the beat for clocks' :P

April 22, 200917 yr haha, the drumming on Speed of Sound came from the guys trying to re-create the drum's from the song 'Running up That Hill' by Kate Bush. Then the rest of the song stemmed from that. which is QI
April 22, 200917 yr Author Guy is an avid fan of "Crest of Waves" and fought hard for it. The other guys were not having it.
April 22, 200917 yr There's already a thread like this.. I just tried to search for it and couldn't find it, but I'm positive that it exists..... anyway. Random Fact: Jonny and Chris used to share a flat, and the people that lived above them were strippers.
April 22, 200917 yr Chris' real birth name is..... Wait for it...... Chris! :uhoh: Wrong. It is "Christopher."

April 22, 200917 yr Have you all noticed that chris is left-handed??? Hehe :P Guy is too......but tought himself to play bass right handed/ traditional way..............but i think a lot of ppl already know that :P
April 22, 200917 yr haha yea, I know everybody know that chris and guy are left-handed, I just said it as a joke:P and its cool that chris write or use his right hand too, I'm ambidextrous btw:D
April 22, 200917 yr Author That's impressive. I am a bit jealous. I've always wanted to be left-handed. I dunno why, but yeah.
April 22, 200917 yr haha its cool, I'm left-handed but 1 year ago or so I broke my left arm so I had to learn to write with the right hand, and now its like "oh my left hand is tired, now with the right hand":P but sometimes people laugh at me or make silly jokes and its a bit annoying..
