this :lol:

"Que hablen de que cometemos plagios es una mierda que nos irrita", enunció Martin sin elevar la voz, pero con semblante muy serio. "Es muy legítimo que no te guste Coldplay, pero las acusaciones falsas nos sublevan. Y, supongo, la mala hostia de algunos termina motivándote...". Menos furibundo, pero elocuentemente lacónico, se mostró cuando una periodista le sugirió que invitase a su mujer a cantar en los discos de la banda. "¿Qué clase de pregunta es esa? Gwyneth es una mujer maravillosa, pero no, no va a cantar con nosotros. Hasta ahí contestaré".

google says:

 

"That talk we commit plagiarism is a shit that annoys us," Martin enunciated without raising his voice, but with very serious face. "It is legitimate not to like Coldplay, but we rise up false accusations. And, I suppose, poor host of some finished motivating you ...". Less angry, but eloquently laconic, was when a journalist suggested he invite his wife to sing on albums by the band. "What kind of question is that? Gwyneth is a wonderful woman, but it's not going to sing with us. So much for answer."

 

 

 

 

 

This appeared on the cover in the paper version the day after the concert, This is great, cultural news in this newspaper are rarely in the central part of the cover,

LOL.. I'd buy it.. All of it! :D

 

Lovely photos and yes it looks like Ellen has chosen. LOL

Hola Maria!!!:P

sorry for disturb the conversation about this pic, this is my printscreen

Chris was so happy with the audience that day I think this is dedicated to those who do not like the album, to the harshest criticism. Chris was happy, had just received a gold record in Spain two days after launch and the reception by the public in the concert has been massively great.

I was with Rush and Blue-girl at the concert, both of Portugal, nice people and great show:D

 

Obrigada Maria! ;) I'm happy to know you loved it! I understand now what it meant that gesture, thank you all for explaining to me it was really helpful!

Your' welcome:D more here Maria:

Cuute!

Okay i think i should have made myself a bit more clear. I was just upset at the wording of the sentence honestly. I felt like it didnt properly summarize the article and the reporter was just twisting their words. That's all.

Growing up with Coldplay

 

DIEGO A. MANRIQUE 23/09/2011

 

Coldplay fully understands the nature of the covenant of the stars with the print media. An exchange: they give their time, in exchange for free space. Seen this way, it sounds crude but at least in his case, it is possible to be gentle trance. He distinguishes also a desire to explain, to look good, to be recognized as genuine talent. It is evident in the major meetings that the country has had with Coldplay. Five, one for each album.

 

In 2000, Bruno Galindo traveled to Paredes de Coura Festival in Portugal, where it acted Coldplay. Next to his dressing room was that of the Flaming Lips and Chris Martin drooled: "I'm a fan, Wayne Coyne changed my outlook on music." They were on anti-star: no fault with the photographers.

 

The interview took place without time limit, with the core-Martin and guitarist Jonny Buckland, defending his artistic commitment: "We take very seriously, otherwise we would feel bad seeing how people buy our records (... .) It's good to occasionally leave a band like us because someone on TV say, 'Look, have written that song and have spent more time recording than normal'. But we can never eliminate the bad commercial music. A we're doing well, but Britney Spears is doing better. "

 

That conversation was published in The Country of the Temptations, as follows: in 2002, Iñigo López Palacios chatted with partner Martin Buckland in a London park. The singer flaunted humanitarian commitment, displaying a t-shirt in support of fair trade: "We do not advertise shoes, we want to involve ourselves in what we care about truth."

 

Martin and was vicious. I knew introduce rehearsed witticisms: "Our music is questions, the big questions. Want to know what they are? Are three: Why are we here and why politicians are so evil? How do women work? Do not know the answers but the most difficult is the third. "

 

Coldplay took the cover of the first issue of EP3 in 2005. Plan came to Madrid conquerors: a plant of the Urban Hotel and a private concert at Pacha, where there was the presence of several galactic Real Madrid. A server was in charge of interrogation. By then, the group shared equally promotional work. On the one hand, the rhythm section, Guy Berryman and Will Champion, in the role of laconic rockers or who knows, hangovers.

 

In another suite, waiting for the duo of Chris and Jonny. Martin made a joke about marijuana and responsible parenthood would be complicated to explain here. He exercised a kid ready and drew parallels between pop and football: "What happens to Madrid [in this season, the team did not win trophies] is the same as with the groups. The temptation to become a money machine, forgetting the original reason for their existence. The groups make too many concessions. They play in places where they know their fans are going to be uncomfortable. They give songs for commercials or movies idiots. They think about what topics will be well received by the and radio company. "

 

Three years passed before Coldplay back to talk to this newspaper. Manuel Cuellar sent EPS, heard the confessions of Chris in London. The quartet had overcome a life-threatening crisis: "After X & Y was a break, a terrible and utter disunity among the four. The success destroys human relationships. You get distracted, you have to blame the side of everything. At one point we knew we had to meet again as friends. The biggest culprit was me. I tend to take things too personal a way. All the fights were between Guy and I or Will and me. Both have very strong convictions, and I tend to be very depressing. All I got frustrated. "

 

Apart from internal therapy, creative jam resolved by calling Brian Eno, who made his usual role as eccentric and demanding teacher. With a terrorist point: scared Coldplay claiming the virtues of prog rock, as if everything would complicate the solution for a group that began working in dozens of ideas and dying to reach its goal.

 

Our fifth match corresponds to an interview to be published shortly in EPS. The event takes place at the headquarters of Coldplay. The Bakery is indeed an ancient bakery has turned into a recording studio. Is at the bottom of a tiny alley in North London, where he has boxed a van, which almost prevented from entering. Perhaps it is staging the siege of the music industry.

 

Within breathes the burden of a group that has few days to deliver the master's new album, playfully titled Mylo Xiloto . On one wall is what appears the final order of the songs and the pen is quick to copy. Until Chris enters and warns: "Do not bother, still change two or three times." A sigh: "We're a band impossible."
