...Chris Martin has previously guested on albums by Ian McCulloch and Ron Sexsmith. Sexsmith wasn't happy with his star guest when he heard the Martin version of 'Gold In Them Hill' but bowed to record company pressure and had it released. "I got a call when I was in Vienna from (producer) Martin (Terefe) to say Chris Martin was coming down to the studio and wanted to hear it" Ron tells Undercover News. "Coldplay was in LA doing their record. I asked if he could see if he would play piano on 'Gold In Them Hills' because my piano playing isn't very good. So Martin asked him. A few weeks later I'm back home and get this package in the mail saying 'Gold In Them Hills' remix. I put it on expecting to hear some new piano and it is my piano. Then his voice comes on in the second verse. It was one of those moments where I had mixed feelings".

 

Anyone knew about it? :stunned: not the track, I mean -- the fact that Ron Sexsmith wasn't quite pleased.

 

What a c*nt.

:angry: :rolleyes: muppet! Then he leaks their secrets! :rolleyes: :dozey:

:o

I think it was Sexsmith's record company that asked Chris to do the vocals though and Ron had no idea until he heard it...he has said some nice things about Chris too :idea2:

 

I kinda think he has a right to be pissed off at another voice on his song...

But it's Chris!! :angry:

 

I'd be pissed off if I were Chris, Ron's voice just ruins the song :P

:lol: Iv heard Ron on this song, and hes not one of my faves to be quite honest...i thought he would have loved Chris to be on the record because Chris being like a mega star it would have put a few more $`s in his pocket because they would have sold more...Plus Chris wanted to do it(i think lol) so i`d be greatful :rolleyes:

^Me, too.

 

I think Ron sings not bad!

well I would be upset too.....even if it's Chris Martin! :angry:

 

 

lmao! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :P

hahahah :rolleyes:

Ron's voice just ruins the song :P

 

:lol: :lol:

What? It's true! :P

I didn't say it wasn't :P :D

:D :lol:

Glad we sorted that out then :P :lol:

 

I love the song though :idea2:

yeah, it's a nice song.... so fucking cheesy, but still nice :P :lol:

:lol:

 

Cheese is good though...in moderation :P

yeah the song is good, I also like it ;) :D

In packets...not the packed cheese tho, cheese off the deli is nice

 

anyways :lol: :lol: :lol:

you know this song for some reason....when I hear it, I think of trains... :shifty:

:stunned:

I do....and caves comes to mind also... :stunned: :huh:

Pots of gold and hills come to mind :P

And rainbows :idea2:

:lol:

Chris' voice really really helps the song in my opinion.

 

I like the song in general. When I last saw Coldplay, Ron Sexsmith was actually the opener, which was interesting. Chris came on stage during "Gold In Them Hills" and sang along.
