parachutes333 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I no longer hear the distinction of each member and their greatness... If you listen to Parachutes, each member has something to offer. Jonny with his unique riffs in it's simplest form.. I don't hear Jonny in this song... only at the end... He gets a brief solo... Have they hired davide rossi and kicked out Jonny? What's with all the strings?? They compliment a song sure... but I want to hear coldplay.. All 4 members.. Why are they hiring others to contribute to their music? They have created their best work before. And what's with Rihanna featuring in POE??? 2 versions fine but not the album version! I can't accept hearing a Coldplay album and Rihanna being in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartroc Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Exactly.... It's just one song. Jonny is actually far more prominent on MX than he has been since Parachutes. Hurts Like Heaven and Major Minus are great examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Leo Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I think they wanted to prioritize other sounds on Paradise, so they left Jonny´s riff til the end. It is very short, but it is quite beautiful. I am sure he will have plenty more coverage on other songs, as we already heard on MM, HLH,etc..

Reilly Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I think if you're a REAL fan you have to ask, how does Jonny NOT contribute to this song?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyM218 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Here we go with the parachutes comparisons again... What about us against the world? That's about as parachute-y as it gets! And if you watch the viva video and listen to it with decent headphones you'll hear his tiny sounding guitar in there. He plays during the bridges.

QuestionsOfScience Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 This is totally true, I mean maybe he has lots of underlying and subtle guitar lines which sound like something else? But I keep getting this almost depressed feeling whenever I hear any of the songs form this era, as if it's their last, I dunno it's odd. It feels as if this is a band trying to push out something which isn't really there and the result is slightly unoriginal songs which follow the crowd... I hope to god (if there is one) that he has a bigger part in the album, not for "parachutes sakes" but, judging by Martin's statements, if he's lied, that'll be rubbish.

Hartroc Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Us Against the World is actually more like A Rush of Blood to the Head than Parachutes. It sounds like Green Eyes. Very simple riffs (Parachutes actually had some pretty intense guitar parts), with the vocal being the main (sole?) focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to make it clear, the specifics you've gone into to understand a guitar players "tiny" contribution to one single song, is pathetic. It's not a surprise you missed that.

MosesTheMarshmallow Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I can hear Jonny in VLV alright. It's more clear in live versions though. It's subtle but still adds to it a lot. And of course, he plays the strings in the first half of the song (live). Paradise...similar story, but he does get the solo now. Jonny will probably play the synth strings for the first part of the song. Actually, I'm secretly hoping most of the string parts become guitar solos for Jonny. But all the other songs, Jonny is the driving force. Even ETIAW centers around Jonny's riffs, I would argue, except for the first 45 or so seconds which just has synth and acoustic guitar.

Jedi Leo Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I mean Charlie Brown has a chorus that is practically only made up of Jonny´s guitar part...that says it all. And Major Minus ´backbone is 90% Jonny. He is gonna rule in MX :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiame Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 This is a fantastic example of a cherry picked argument. You don't like MX so to criticize it you point out the fact that Johnny only has one moment during Paradise. But you forget Hurts Like Heaven, Charlie Brown and Major Minus - three songs that involve him extremely heavily. Please point to a song from the older albums that features Jonny as extensively as those three? You can't. Also, ETIAW's chorus is Jonny's riff.

isrlns Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 :shocked2: I'm not saying that it's not present on Trouble, I say that on Paradise there is a proper riff, so it's more prominent. When you talk with someone about Trouble the electric guitar is not the first thing you mention. Y punto. xD (I obviously prefer Trouble over Paradise, just saying that you don't have to hear everything on every single song) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paradise only at the end. Y punto :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel_94 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I'm sorry but this is a stupid thread/argument. If you listen properly you can hear all of the band in all of the new songs!!! More than ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
