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!

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 ! ;)

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

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!

Ok, I found it for you.

Thank you SO much for posting that for me, Dianne! That is a huge help! :D

oh hey how cool! let us know when it's up on the site!

 

ask 'em when they're comin' over to the baltic states! ;]

 

and if it's chris, ask him to sing the scientist backwards.

Ask them which is harder: creating new music or thinking up things for their live shows that nobody has done yet! ;)

lol, that's a most excellent question there, busybee! ;)

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 !

I would certainly take either sorts of questions. I'm just trying to steer away from the fangirly questions or obviously anything personal.

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 ;)

@At Chris, HAve you cheated on Gwenyth with Jonny?

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

....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.

ask if underwear gets thrown at them at shows.

Yeah that's the best thing to do ! ;)

 

or Guy or Will : ask them how they feel about that Jonny-Chris love :P

:love: C & J love! haha :lol: excellent!

 

 

If its Guy..........ask him about Apparatjik :whip: please :D he will be surprised and exited that u know what it is! :D

 

 

 

 

congrats on winning this too! :dance: im exited for ya ;)

Ask them something about their big Yellow Balls :laugh3:

You could ask them what is the first song they remember liking as kids??

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!

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?

Aw congrats! :dance:

"asking Guy to do his first in-interview tweet"- GOOD ONE!

(or ask if he will demonstrate how he tweeted that rumpled bedsheet pic:wink3:)

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.

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:

:stunned: If they enjoy football, ask them if they are coming to watch any of the 2010 Soccer World Cup games!! :D
