Glastra Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Yeah, so I'm not sure where this goes exactly, but our local radio station here in Des Moines was hosting a contest to interview a member of the band, asking listeners to write essays on why they should be allowed the opportunity. Apparently, they liked my essay, so I won. Friday, I get to interview one of them. *big fangirly yay!*:dance: They don't know who yet, though, so I've got to come up with 4 times the questions and ask the appropriate ones. And act professional, as it's a video interview. :stunned: So, if anyone has any burning, serious questions, post em here....I need all the help I can get!

*Perrine* Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Oh really ? :o:o:o:o *jealous* Will you have some pics with them ? Okay... I don't have any ideas :\ Maybe if someone else starts I'll find some good ones ! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glastra Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 It's going to be a video interview, so there will be video up on the radio station site as soon as it's done. I'm not sure exactly how it's going to go down yet. I'm just worried about not looking like a fool right now! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFDianne Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Yay! Congratulations! I also won a radio contest to meet them, but it's not for another 39 days - my promotion is for Cocktails with Coldplay. And even though it's not a formal interview, I'm still nervous about not looking like a complete idiot. There's a video interview that other radio listeners did with Will over on the Will thread, so maybe you could watch that to get some ideas. I'm not sure how to link you, but it's not hard to find. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busybeeburns Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Ask them which is harder: creating new music or thinking up things for their live shows that nobody has done yet! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glastra Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 lol, that's a most excellent question there, busybee! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Perrine* Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I have a question Do you want it to be a "serious" interview or something more funny ? Then I'll try to find you some :nice: And I hope you'll tell us as soon it'll be on this site ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glastra Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 I would certainly take either sorts of questions. I'm just trying to steer away from the fangirly questions or obviously anything personal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Perrine* Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Yeah that's the best thing to do ! ;) or Guy or Will : ask them how they feel about that Jonny-Chris love :P Will they work on the next album as soon as the tour will be finished, or some questions like this ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open-Politik Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 @At Chris, HAve you cheated on Gwenyth with Jonny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrman78 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Um, a couple of Q's I would probably ask if given the chance, ha! Ask Will: Since you are more a guitarist-at-heart, what was the most difficult part of picking up the drums? Ask Chris: With this album, you have experimented with singing in your lower register. Did you have any difficulty in getting the right tone in your voice? Or something along those lines... ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noonsun Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 ....you're so lucky :bigcry: Anyway, try asking any of them... um, what's the most scary thing that's happened to them on tour. That could be interesting. Maybe they've been mobbed by fangirls or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-chan Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 You could ask them what is the first song they remember liking as kids?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmystarisfading Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Aw congrats! :dance: Hmm, maybe ask them which of the other 3 guys would they trust most to take over their position in the band for a day. Any news on the Strawberry Swing video? Finally, EVERYONE wants to know. We've asked the oracle many times with no response. Who sings the third verse on the song The Goldrush? We've narrowed it down to being either Guy or Brian Eno but we're really not sure so if they could answer this one that would be AMAZING. Oh I almost forgot, if you're with Guy ask him to do the first ever in-interview tweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 If you get Chris...ask him where he gets his sweet dance moves! And for any of them: What is your favorite Coldplay song and what song do you enjoy playing live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elena35 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 How wonderful! Congratulations, Glastra! Please, ask them if they are going to visit Russia. We've been waiting for them for 6 years already! :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natster Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 If Will or Jonny ask them if they plan to have a kick around on the pitch at Wembley before the stage gets all set up. :stunned: If they enjoy football, ask them if they are coming to watch any of the 2010 Soccer World Cup games!! :D [say yes, say yes, say yes!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
