ichbineincoldplayer Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 In the Howard Stern interview, Chris told he gets 40% while the rest of the band get 20% each. I was always under the impression that they all got an equal share of the $$$ (25% for those of you who failed math class! :P); afterall, it's something that they'd been saying all along. Tell us how you feel about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldplaymom Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I've come to realize they were referring to writing credits. It's only fair that Chris gets more b/c of the insane amount of work he puts in. All the other band members recognize it and seem ok with it. In fact, I actually feel Jonny should get a little more than Guy and Will. Many Coldplay songs wouldn't be the same without his guitar riffs. My only conflicting issue is that perhaps Chris shouldn't have made it public. I sincerely hope this doesn't tear the band apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauriane Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I don't mind. They do whatever they want with their money, I don't care. I don't know why we would feel bad though, because it seems pretty normal to me : Chris does most of the interviews, takes all the shit, writes all the lyrics so he gets more than others. Oh and I was happy to learn he gives 10% of his income to charity, such a great gesture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell no! Jonny recently said they have good lawyers, so I trust they're really getting their fair share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Nails Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I'm a little surprised by the 20 20 20 40 thing. Don't get me wrong, I do think it's fair since Chris seems to be doing most of the work. Still, I really liked that they all got 25%. It meant that they (or at least Chris) didn't care about money. And it meant that they're a real four-piece band instead of a frontman-plus-band band. I edited this because it was the start of a second thread.

lafinion Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Chris really does a lot of advertisement, he goes to all those interviews and answers stupid questions about his personal life. He deserves to be distinguished, of course. But I'm disappointed a little that they do not share everything equally - because I thought it was somewhat noble of him to put great effort and not to ask any privileges.

He's not asking for privileges. He works more, he gets more, that's it. I don't feel like it's a privilege. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eva71 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I´m pretty sure that´s not true, and I don´t think Chris works more than the rest of them, ok he´s Coldplay´s image , but he would be nothing without his bandmates. He shouldn´t talk about that things in this way. I´m really dissapointed :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LauCH Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Why would we care about this? It's their business. Chris does more in the band, he gets more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Nails Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Yeah it doesn't really matter, and I guess Chris deserves it. Do you guys think it's always been this way, or that they recently changed it? They've always said they share equally, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Means nothing to me. However, if I were in Jonny's, Will's & Guy's positions, I'd willingly pay Chris extra to handle all the crap he takes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard was simply fantastic in getting these answers from Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shouldn´t talk about that things in this way. I´m really dissapointed :\ what exactly do you mean by, "He shouldn´t talk about that things in this way"? do you mean that he shouldn't have mentioned it at all, or do you mean to suggest that Chris acts like it's his right to earn more? because in the interview with Howard Stern, it sounded more like Howard was implying that Chris deserves to earn more, while Chris was defending the others and saying they do just as much work as he does... obviously, and this is assuming that the 40 is going to Chris, all four of them have agreed to this and so no one here should have any problem with it. Chris isn't demanding that he get more, as far as i can see, especially since, like i said, he sounded like he was defending his bandmates' in that interview, and in another recent interview he mentioned that money issues are what he thinks tear bands apart.

Telepian Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Are all 4 of them OK on this? I'm going to say they are. Coldplay doesn't usually do anything unless all of them agree to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
