Featured Replies

I don't like making this decision! :lol:

 

The strings in Viva la Vida, the piano in Clocks, the many intricate licks on Hurts Like Heaven... You can't go wrong!

  • 3 years later...

All the riffs from Jonny in:

- Everglow

- Up&Up

- Always In My Head

Many Coldplay riffs are brilliant (In my Place, Talk, Speed Of Sound, Trouble, White Shadows, Square One, Clocks, A Message, Shiver,....this list could continue for a loooooooong time)

but my favorite is the continuous guitar riff in I Ran Away. It's out of this world ! :)

No this thread is sheer torture....I cant! haha I cant even limit myself to 5 :jonny: Jonny´s riffs let alone all other instruments!

 

I´ll have to think this through...not sure Ill manage hehe

All the riffs from Jonny in:

I actually have many more favorite riffs, but the list is going to be very long. Could I maybe give it a try? :)

At first I couldn't think of one specifically, then I thought about all of them at once...and then I decided it's probably the solo from Violet Hill from me. Such a defining Coldplay moment for me and my life.

I can only see Low

Im with you,and hoping they will play it someday this year

Im with you,and hoping they will play it someday this year

I just hope that they listen to x&y again to realize how good it is

 

I was just thinking how since the twisted logic tour all the main shows and setlists have only fix you from the album !!!!

^ They did a Talk/GPASUYF mashup during the Viva tour!
