There were some incertainties in the Google translation of Jonny's interview. Ellendianelopo was so kind as to have a look at the original text and the translation, and here is the translation of Jonny's interview:

 

INTERVIEW WITH JONNY - published on 11 FEBRUAR 2010

 

Jonny Buckland, guitarist from Coldplay, says that success does not rise to the head of the band meaning that the success has not changed them

RIO - Without Jonny Buckland Coldplay would not exist. "The phrase about the English band's guitarist and his friend and singer Chris Martin - the two founded the band, in college, in 1990 - likes to repeat to the four winds, is repelled with ease by the musician, speaking on the phone from London:

 

- I think there would be no Coldplay without any of us - says the nice Buckland. - Each one is essential.

 

Well, the essential Buckland, Martin, Guy Berryman (bass) and Will Champion (drums) are packed to come to Brazil: Coldplay performs at the Apotheosis Square on 28 February, in addition to playing at Morumbi in Sao Paulo , March 2, in Argentina, Colombia and Mexico.

 

- We are very excited - says the guitarist. - Another time we were there, we spent only one day in Rio, but didn't get to enjoy it.

 

Modest, he does not mention that in 2003, while appearing in the current Citibank Hall, which is packed with a mere 8 thousand people, Coldplay were a band that was beginning to experience success with such albums as "Parachutes" (2000) and " A rush of blood to the head "(2002), and began their way to superstardom today - the quartet has sold more than 50 million albums, even in times of crisis.

 

- I do not think much has changed - he says. -We are the same people, only seven years older (he's 32).

 

He confesses, "to be very sincere" in his words, "there is a side of stardom that pleases me:"

 

- I prefer to play in big stadiums rather than in small theaters. In smaller places, you see very well the expressions of people - we would be worried if they like it or not. And there is no feeling comparable to hear tens of thousands of people singing one of your songs.

 

In December, Coldplay did a Christmas concert in the castle of Exeter in England, which brought Buckland memories of the time when the band played in small places.

 

Moreover, it was our only gig since the end of the passage of the tour of England in September - he says. - I'm worried: Will they still know our music playing when we get there? Not even talk about the shows.

 

Aside from the four months of vacation - where the musicians are dedicated to families, in the case of singer Martin, his wife, star actress Gwyneth Paltrow, and their children Apple and Moses - Coldplay has been on the road virtually non-stop since the release of "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends" in June 2008.

 

- But our tour will not come to an end without going to South America - ensures Buckland.

 

In the year and a half since its release, much has happened, such as recording and editing a live CD, "LeftRightLeftRightLeft, dozens of awards, setting an album record with most paid downloads in history and a controversy: the American guitarist Joe Satriani in court accused Coldplay of plagiarizing a song of his, "If I could fly", launched in 2004, transforming it into "Viva la vida". Coldplay denied the accusations, claimed that its members had never heard the music of Satriani, and the case was withdrawn after a settlement out of court. Buckland and the other group members do not talk about it, of course.

 

Another innovation in the life of Coldplay is recording a new album being produced by the legendary Brian Eno (U2, Talking Heads and others, and "Viva la vida ...") in London.

 

The recordings are going very well - says Buckland. - They say that we are working in a church, but not quite. It is an ancient hall, where we can all, band and technicians, (WORK) together.

 

He did not rule out the possibility of the band playing a new song in Brazil:

 

- As I said, do not talk about repertoire covers (Coldplay often plays unusual songs from other artists, such as "Barbie girl" by Aqua, at their shows), none of this. But we may already have one or two new songs ready to show to South America.

 

Meanwhile, fans can hear the new version of "A message" (originally released on "X & Y", 2005), which is on disk charity "Hope for Haiti Now", along with artists like Sting, Madonna, Alicia Keys and Wyclef Jean.

 

- It was difficult, because it is a song that we (have) almost never played live - remembers Buckland. - But to be honest, I think it was better than the original. And we could take a bit of rust already thinking of shows in South America.

^awesome

Coldplay -- 2010 New Album Preview

 

Back in April 2009, while still on the road for their 'Viva La Vida' world tour, Coldplay began laying the groundwork for their upcoming release, which is scheduled to come out sometime this year. Coldplay's 2010 new album, which has yet to be titled, will certainly have big shoes to fill following in the wake of 'Viva la Vida.' Released on June 11, 2008 to massive critical and popular acclaim, the album dominated charts around the globe, and eventually earned the group a 2009 Grammy for Best Rock Album. While the British alt-rock quartet will still be squeezing out a few more South American concerts in the early part of 2010, they've somehow managed to find a few moments to convene in a North London church, where, according to The Sun, they've decided to record their next CD.

 

The decision to relocate their recording studio from their longtime base in London's Primrose Hill to an older, dilapidated church marks a major shift in Coldplay's approach to their style -- and may foreshadow an entirely different sound on their new 2010 album. While lead singer Chris Martin has enlisted soundscape wizard Brian Eno to once again produce their next album, sources close to the band say that Martin's made a conscious decision to develop a more acoustic, "stripped down" sound on their next album, and move away from the grandiose and big budget sound that characterized 'Viva la Vida.' Speaking to the Herald Sun, an anonymous source said that Martin's "determined not to be seen as a huge commercial rock juggernaut, filling stadiums and cashing in." In opting for a more acoustic, modest sound, then, the band hopes to keep themselves "as close to their fans as possible."

 

As part of their attempt to give fans greater access, Coldplay has begun a blog on their website, documenting the recording process on a regular basis. And, in a further twist to their traditional routine, the band has reportedly been going into the studio in separate pairs, a technique devised by Brian Eno, who told BBC Radio that he was trying different pair combinations in attempt to explore "other possibilities" that lay dormant within the foursome.

 

While no specific date has been set for the release, MTV reports that the new 2010 album may drop sometime around Christmas. Until then, fans will likely have to await and speculate as to what this newer, more austere Coldplay record may sound like. According to Eno, though, "It's quite different from anything they've done before."

Wow! That would make sense as to why they said it was so bright. But they have "just begun a blog on their website"? R#42 blogs have been around so long, and they're only now paying attention? And I really am hoping for a Christmastime release. That would be the best Christmas present!

Too late - I've read it :D

 

lol... thanks for telling everyone.

 

I wasn't out of place ... just questioning the treasure hunt. :thinking:

I'm going to londen in 3 weeks but I doubt the fact that I will stalk coldplay there :uhoh: I would love to do it ... but I guess I won't have any time for it :lol:

lol... thanks for telling everyone.

 

I wasn't out of place ... just questioning the treasure hunt. :thinking:

 

I haven't tell it to everyone. I've just said I've read it ;)

Fans becoming a nuisance?

 

As I said, as far as I know, nobody who visited there did anything "out-of-order" like camp out or anything like that, so I don't know why some people are making such a fuss.:dozey:

 

I'm not sure that's strictly true. In the week up to their September '09 performance at Wembley I heard stories of someone making a nusiance of themself with Chris' neighbour outside his house; and people pushing mountains of stuff throught their letterbox at the Bakery.

 

People shouldn't let their enthusiam for the band overspill into disrespectful or stalking behaviour IMO. We are quick to hurl abuse at the press for making their lives a misery and not respecting their privacy, and yet a small minority of fans behave in an equally disrespectful way.

 

Please treat the band as you would want to be treated and not disrespect their right to privacy.
