kspillers2 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 ....release date. Did a date ever get mentioned for publication? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenjie Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 nope. vanished off the face of the earth. he does still have a mention on the publisher's page, so may still be published but no info at the mo. Matt McGinn Biography Matt is the only full time backline technician employed by the band and the key member of its touring force. He was present during the recording of the last two albums, has circled the globe over a dozen times and has become a valuable and trusted part of the Coldplay live set-up, which even extends to playing rhythm guitar during live sets. During the last six years, Matt has risen to the top of the roadie ranks, and is highly regarded in the industry as a true professional. He frequently lectures to students of music technology and stage management on many aspects of his job. http://www.anovabooks.com/products/author.asp?authorid=101742 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-chan Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Rahhhhhhhhhh my heart jumped when I saw Matt's book mentionned...Weird that Anova books keep this baby in store...This could be a best seller considering how Coldplay are popular, espacially after the sucess of the Viva tour... I want this book so baaaad :whip: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-chan Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Maybe we should write to Anova.... :thinking: to know what's going on and IF they're gonna publish it (before I die...>.>) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
but a dream Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I would really love to read this biography as well. But I remember the Oracle saying something about it being approved by the band and not endorsed or similar? :thinking: Which is really strange, given that the official Coldplay website did publish that short excerpt from the book.

a-chan Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Ok, so I've just write to Anova books (kinda send the message to all executives listed here!: http://www.anovabooks.com/contact.asp with this: Hello, I just wanted to know if your company ever gonna publish Matt McGinn's book: My life on the road with Coldplay? I saw on many websites like Amazon that it was supposed to be released on May 2009 but it seems to be wrong... As a coldplay fan (and like millions of other around the world), I hope you'll give us an answer! We're really waiting to read this..! Thank you I doubt they ever answer us but it's worth a shot right?! I also tweet Miller about this (using his last entry on cp.dom as an excuse...I know, it's lame but... :embarassed: )He won't answer but maybe he'll bring the subject to Matt...?? Now, we have to 'be patient and don't worry'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, we have to 'be patient and don't worry'... Hopefully we get some sort of answers! And I'm kinda thinking in Matt's perspective here, but wouldn't it be disappointing if you were about to publish a book, only to have it pulled a few months before? Unless it's his decision? I'm pulling @ straws here, I really don't know what happened :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debs Wild Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I share the same publisher and at the moment a few books are delayed for various reasons so hopefully it's still coming but it's been put back for now.

They're in it but it's not the book I was writing years ago. It's supposed to be out next September but given there's a credit crunch on, who knows??
