July 31, 200916 yr I think it is Matthew because if u listen to his songs they sound more complicated. What do you guys think?
July 31, 200916 yr Chris Martin because even if most of Coldplay's piano is simpler, Chris has displayed a bucketload of skill on numerous occasions, plus I like him more.
July 31, 200916 yr i always thought it was matt by a country mile but after listening to those demos i have new found respect for chris. technically i would lean towards matt but i prefer listening to chris play.

July 31, 200916 yr what demos? He's probably referring to the recently leaked VLV-era demos floating around the Internet. Sounding "complicated" doesn't necessarily make you better, though Matt does tend to focus on stunning bridges more than Chris. I'd say that while Matt is more technically proficient, Chris's more simplistic piano helps carry a song better. Needless to say, both are amazing pianists.
July 31, 200916 yr I find Matt to be a better technical player, whereas Chris is the better composer. It's not easy to write a lot of those piano parts, and many of them completely carry Coldplay's songs. And to write parts that aren't overly complicated yet are still loved years later, that takes brilliant song writing.
July 31, 200916 yr My friends know Chris Martin because of his talent on piano. :chris: So I voted :chris: :D
July 31, 200916 yr Really tough even though Matt has more complicated stuff,Coldplay songs arent really that easy as you say too.
July 31, 200916 yr Both are fantastic musicians. But Chris Martin has written one of the most noticable piano rock tunes ever in Clocks.
July 31, 200916 yr Author Both are fantastic musicians. But Chris Martin has written one of the most noticable piano rock tunes ever in Clocks. yeah but clocks was inspired by muse matthew bellamy.
July 31, 200916 yr ^ Yeah, I read that too some where, can't remember where though. They're both extremely talented, & I have HUGE respect for both of them. So, it's a tie for me. Ps - Can't wait to hear Matt's Exogenesis!
August 1, 200916 yr yeah but clocks was inspired by muse matthew bellamy. Yes but he didn't write it did he!
August 1, 200916 yr yeah but clocks was inspired by muse matthew bellamy. supposedly fix you was inspired by megalomania lol
August 1, 200916 yr Well on a technical level Matt definitely wins but as far as good songwriting goes I'd say Chris.
August 1, 200916 yr Mat, honestly. He's a lot better, but Chris does a great use of the piano by coming up with amazing simple riffs and delightful melodies. Muse is a little harder to swallow but Mat plays outstanding stuff with a classic touch.
August 1, 200916 yr Postcards From Far Away; that's 'classical', isn't it? What does 'better' even mean? Who gives a shit, if it moves you then that's all that matters.
