Imagine if Chris follows in the footsteps of other bands and puts out a solo album of "songs written but they are not really 'coldplay' songs" and does a smallish solo acoustic tour playing the solo stuff mixed up with solo-acoustic versions of some greatest hits plus some rarities.

 

What would you do?

This could be interesting.

I wonder how many people won't read my post and go "oh my god, when does it come out?, "where is he playing"

Then you tell them he released two already and just finished his world tour.

for a second i was like FUCK really

 

id probably go see him in concert and throw squishy old pears at him :angry:

I throw my thong on the stage.

i thought the same

To answer your question; Yes, I'd go.

Who can forget his album "The Revolution is coming", released under the fake name "William Galbraith" back in 2009?

 

Highly praised but didn't sell that well as it was a new singer which no-one knew about. Shame he didn't hire a firm of lawyers to accidentally 'leak' the connection sending it rocking to the top of the best-sellers list

HUH

Yeah, Huh?

Which famous author wrote a book under a false name ending with "Galbraith"?

 

Book wasn't selling that well, so she got the lawyers to 'leak' the connection, acted all shocked and angry but was happy with all the extra money coming in.

 

Hence I wouldn't put it passed a famous singer in a band to release an album under a false name, although it would be harder to pull off with similar vocals

chris would be a mess without the others

I thought this was actual news. :( Such mixed emotions in the brief seconds that I thought this was real...

In all honesty I don't mind solo/side projects as long as they don't take away from the productivity of the main band. In some cases it is even a benificial way for the artist to get out some of their more... let's say experimental ideas... that wouldn't quite work on their bands records. It is when you start seein more solo/side project releases then actual original band output that I think it becomes a problem. Having said I would rather see lp6 before a hypothetical Chris Martin solo record.

I agree wholeheartedly. Put out lp6, don't make too many solo projects, and it should be welcomed.

No chris be nothing without jonny,phil,guy,will

This is an incredibly misleading thread title! I scrambled to find a reason to get excited about a solo album when I first saw it.

Chris without Jonny Buckland would be like...

 

 

"WHERE'S MY JONNYBOY???"

I don't know why, but seeing the title of this thread really freaked me out.

No chris be nothing without jonny,phil,guy,will

 

Awesome bump.

I had a heart attack when I saw this and then read the post like :|.

 

Chris Martin is literally my idol, hero (and all that jazz) but I think Coldplay are a strong, amazing band, no solo work just yet please Christopher.

no :snobby:

 

He's allowed little solo projects with some of his kewl friends but that it is it :angry:

 

edit: to answer the actual first question of the thread, OF COURSE I'd run see him. :lol:

i actually thought this was real and that it was happening. :facepalm:
