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.

 

He moved not too long ago. So I'm wondering if he lived on the same street as she did before or after his move?

 

"Joy and husband John, a former teacher at Holywell High School, recently attended a Coldplay gig at London’s O2 arena, and also visited their son’s new home."

Hmm...

Chris is actually ambidextrous. Which is even better.

I am too.

 

That's impressive. I am a bit jealous. I've always wanted to be left-handed. I dunno why, but yeah.

You shouldn't wish for that. For whatever reason, on average lefties live about 5 years shorter than righties.

 

 

I'm a lefty.

 

FELLOW LEFTIES! REJOICE!

Ambi over here :)

Wait, what?!? I always heard that we live longer. Ok, I want a refund!!!:P

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.

 

convenient! ;)

Wait, what?!? I always heard that we live longer. Ok, I want a refund!!!:P

 

yeah, I heard that too!!.. Long live the lefties!!:P

That's not true!!

I am left-handed as well and can confirm that there are so many things made for the right hand that right-handed people don't see (for example sauce spoons having the spout on the "wrong" side, or popcorn shovels!!!!) but that myth about lefties dying earlier seems to derive from the fact that many old people had to learn to use the right hand and only recently people didn't force left-handed children to use the other hand... So in that study from 1980 there were almost no old lefties... that's what I heard.

poor jonny. :(

 

*lol*:D

Chris' real birth name is..... Wait for it...... Chris!

 

Actually it is Christopher Anthony John Martin..

learned in music lesson :D

That's impressive. I am a bit jealous. I've always wanted to be left-handed. I dunno why, but yeah.

Someone agrees with me.

Chris wrote "A Message" in the middle of the night and in the nude after being awoken by his concious to venture downstairs... It was the last track to be added to the album.

lol, yeah thats a pretty well known fact.

 

Chris says his only vice is sweet stuff, like chocolate. And jellybeans.

 

And Long live the fellow Lefties!!! And why the hell do we supposedly live shorter than right handers?

And I think Chris and Guy do pretty damn good to be able to play guitar right handed. I have to play left handed, its so hard the other way.

Ah! they're like me! Thanks to my mom who 'forgot' I was left-handed, she bought me a right-handed guitar. So I've been playing it that way ever since...

Wow we should do a poll of lefties vs right handers on coldplaying.com, there's heaps of left handers.

 

And random fact: in a 2002 European show, Coldplay did a cover of Barbie Girl with Chris playing Barbie and Jonny as Ken. After about a minute they both cracked up laughing.

Lol What? I want a video of that.

 

 

 

Lol I read this somewhere or heard it? If someone has a link can they post it?

 

But Jonny and Chris watched the Colin Farrell sex tape together and sometimes when they were on stage Chris would come over and quote the tape in a overly Irish accent and Jonny would crack up every time.

 

Lol.

Lol I don't know! I either read it somewhere or heard it in an interview.

 

I really want the exact quote though. Someone post it please if they have it.

"da da something" :P

Chris cannot cook ! When he tried to cook for his wife, he set fire to his house...

And his house is connected to a barracks so, the firemen came to put out the fire and Chris was really ashamed.

 

But another time, he tried again because he was upset.... Fire came back. And a fireman told him " Mr Martin, did you try to cook again ?"

 

:laugh3: I did not invent this story, I swear !

 

Barbie Girl by Coldplay is really HUGE ! XD
