January 24, 200422 yr Maybe, do you agree with the article? Do you think they're just in it for the money and feign humility? I definitely think Chris feigns humility. You can see through it in all the interviews.
January 24, 200422 yr Yes. In a way, maybe not, because I'm sure a lot of people doubt themselves at first, but I don't really believe him all the time. I just don't think somebody with passion and who has talent will always be putting themselves down.
January 24, 200422 yr Author Well yeah maybe in that respect, but I don't think he thinks he's the best thing since sliced bread either.
January 24, 200422 yr Maybe, do you agree with the article? Do you think they're just in it for the money and feign humility? Haven't really thought about it. To me, it doesn't matter that much, but I might feel different if one of my favorite bands ever did come out and say "Yeah, it was all about the money." But rationally, I would like to just Coldlpay just for their music and not for the contant of their interviews or their political beliefs. Within reason, of course. If Chris came out and said "I wrote this song while clubbing baby seals" I would probably never be able to listen to their music w/o thinking about dead seals. And likewise, if Chris described some cynical way in which he wrote Trouble targeting a specific argument, structuring the song around very commercial ideas, I'd probably have my view clouded a little, though I wouldn't want it to be. But until they give me real reason to think that, I won't.

You can see through it in all the interviews. I agree with this. But then again, he might just figure it's easier to be humble because that fends off controversy.
January 24, 200422 yr Author Yeah, I can see him doing that. I have heard him say he thinks he's in the greatest band in the world too, I don't think he's arrogant, he just believes wholeheartedly in Coldplay.
January 24, 200422 yr erm 10% r enuff i guess...well i dunno...but i think its a good sum...assumin their earnings...
January 24, 200422 yr I think that guy (not Guy...wow I'm lame) is fucked, he’s basing all of this on one overheard conversation. He doesn’t know anything about Coldplay. I know if I had money like that I’d take it seriously.
January 24, 200422 yr That article is so full of shit! Well of course bands have to talk about their financial situation at some point, of course they want to make money, just like anyone else. Like someone mentioned before, the article doesn't say anything about giving away 10% to charity. And on that note, the 10% charity thing wasn't even supposed to get out to the public because the band are so humble about it. They always get defensive and don't want to talk about it when people bring up the 10% thing. Their accountant accidentally let that slip. Furthermore, it fails to mention how Coldplay have turned down millions of dollars in advertising for products. They also probably could have had more merchandise and things like Coldplay dolls and lunchboxes if they really wanted to. Basically if Coldplay were in it purely for money, they could have shown us that already, but they're not.
January 24, 200422 yr You should see Noni's Chris Martin panties. They're kinda disturbing, actually.
January 24, 200422 yr :thumbsup: :D i wanna have a cp lunchbox i need in on this luncbox action. :wink3: everyone would be so jealous!
January 24, 200422 yr lunchbox action? any noun with "action" at the end sounds perverse. SOMEONE has got a perverted mind!
