violet.sparks_ Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I really liked the piano in the Viva era, especially "Violet Hill" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likeafire Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 The piano from the AROBTTH era. Scientist, clocks, politik, those piano sounds can never be matched, such beauty. I want a new scientist type of song! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Adversary Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I'd love to see some more guitar if I'm honest. A mixture to achieve a happy medium is ideal, but I felt as if we didn't get enough guitar work on GS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennaert Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 He's a much better piano player, but I like his accoustic guitar plays in the viva era, so more guitar :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spraycan Soul Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Click here if using CPing app[/url]) Thanks Sparky. Great idea! Was sort of impossible to keep track of before. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAUREL72 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I would love to hear more piano. I read that some producers (Viva I think) tried to have them use the piano less but let's face it, that is the iconic Coldplay sound. I first became a big fan when I heard the beautiful notes of "The Scientist" and "Clocks". Having said that, I just watched Chris playing "Losing My Religion" on the guitar at the Sandy Relief Concert. It was something ... I didn't know he was such a good guitar player. What an amazing singer, songwriter and musician -- a rare talent who can do it all. So I say piano 8.4 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skypi Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I think guitar. My favorite is when he's play electric guitar without a pick like an acoustic, during the Live 2012 version of Mylo Xyloto (The dvd/ Live album) and the 2009 viva la vida tour one, from Tokyo, streamed from MTV. (You know, the one where they transition into talk out of no where. And it's a gift from the gods). He just seems to enjoy guitar, instead of slamming on the piano. Don't get me wrong, I love his style on both, but, guitar all the way :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Rush of Magic Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 guitar!!!!!!!!!!!! Amen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42Escapist Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 3. Chris' piano playing is an important part of the "trademark" AROBTTH and X&Y sound, but his guitar playing is wonderful too. He's no Noel Gallagher but... his guitar playing adds quite a lot to songs. The list of tracks that have great Chris guitar playing goes on and on: GPASUYF, Warning Sign, Moses, Strawberry Swing, Green Eyes, One I Love, Major Minus, Ghost Story, Charlie Brown, UATW, Oceans, Til Kingdom Come, A Message, most of the Parachutes album...

the_escapist Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I actually prefer songs that feature Chris behind the piano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. That's why any band that try to adopt a piano into their repertoire are immediately accused of trying to emulate the Coldplay and Keane "sound". For that reason alone I think it would be great to hear more guitar work from Chris, if even only to break the mold and do something a little different in an attempt to get away from the Coldplay=Piano conception everyone seems to have about them.
