Oh his speaking voice kills me...When I had the chance to talk with him a few months ago, hearing it right next to me? Well, my heart was pounding so hard, I thought he'd be able to hear it. LOL

The Oracle posted this interview with Guy and our Will this morning. It's from a few months ago, but it's nice to see these two in an interview together. Plus, we can listen to Will's beautiful voice. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUuD4hIBx2A&feature=related]Entrevista Coldplay - YouTube[/ame]

Good morning Berrygirls, The Oracle posted the link to this video this morning, but it is an interview with Guy and Will from several months ago. The lovely Guy speaks quite a bit, so if you'd like to listen to his delicious accent, here you go. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUuD4hIBx2A&feature=related]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUuD4hIBx2A&feature=related[/ame]

Like we should change it to the "Will who has amazing shoulders" thread. Or the "Who can bang like Will" thread. Or the "Will is a cuddly teddy bear" thread. I could go on and on and on...sigh. :heart::drummer::heart:

The Oracle says Will has a scooter...So that's probably his in the picture behind the Smart Car.

Well? No pressure or anything

He can look at me any way he wants. He's not frightening...he's just serious

Sigh. We have to wait until 7pm California time to watch it, and we got lucky. I didn't even know that EpixHD is part of our cable package, so it's set to record on my dvr :) Mumford and Sons are AWESOME. They are definitely in my top 5 bands. I've seen them twice in concert, and they are just such great guys, and do a great show. I can't wait for their second album to come out - they've been in the studio working on it for awhile. Definitely check out their first album.

Thanks, Tash. I'm very excited, not only to see Coldplay but to hang out with my Coldplay buddy, Tracey :) If it weren't for these boards, I would have never have met her, and well, we think a little too much alike when it comes to the band. They better watch out, when the 2 of us get together. :laugh3::o

I posted from my iPhone. Can't send compatible smileys from it.

Good grief. Out of context much? This media :shakes head:

I agree, that 8th picture - well, it's just um, it doesn't look like him. Maybe too much tv makeup? Yeah, that's it. It's just an odd shot.

Chris is playing the harmonica- he did that when Will sang Death Will Never Conquer during the VLV Tour C-stage set

It's only 7am here in California. Based on these posts, they will come on at about 8:30?

Don't say that on the Jonny-Chris thread! He's such a player. :laugh3:

Actually, they showed Jonny kissing Phil's wife! LOL Jonny must have been kissing Chloe while Will was kissing his wife. So much kissing! And people complained about the kissing in the Charlie Brown video??? :kiss: :laugh3:

Drunk nights can be dangerous... :laugh3:

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertainment/2012/03/top-5-things-you-may-not-know-about-coldplay/ Top 5 Things You May Not Know About Coldplay The British alternative rock band Coldplay has been at the top of the music charts for more than a decade. Led by frontman Chris Martin on piano and vocals, Jonny Buckland on guitar, Guy Berryman on bass and Will Champion on drums, success for the four-man band was rapid. They’ve won six Brit Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards, seven Grammy Awards, sold over 55 million records and have more than 25 million followers on social media. Still, on the heels of their just-released new album “Mylo Xyloto” and ahead of their upcoming North American tour, there may be a few things about the band and its musicians you don’t know. Read below to see five of them. 1. They could have been called Pectoralz or Starfish. The rock group that has rocked the world got its start in 1996 at a decidedly unhip place, orientation week at University College London (UCL). It was there that frontman Chris Martin met Johnny Buckland and the two began forming a group. One year later the group became three with the addition of fellow student Guy Berryman and the trio performed side projects under the names “Pectoralz” and “Starfish.” It was only later that the group, with the addition of Will Champion on drums, became “Coldplay.” They took the name from another fellow UCL student, Tim Crompton, who discarded it for his own band because he found it too depressing. 2. They don’t do endorsements, unless it’s Apple. Coldplay is well known for their generosity when it comes to charitable causes like Oxfam and Amnesty International, but not so charitable when it comes to letting companies use their music for endorsements. The band has famously turned down big money contracts from the likes of Gatorade, Diet Coke and Gap. “We wouldn’t be able to live with ourselves if we sold the songs’ meanings like that,” Martin has said. The band has been a good friend to computer giant Apple, however, allowing their hit song “Viva la Vida” to be used in a commercial for the company’s iTunes store. They’ve also performed at special Apple events and product launches and last October were one of a select group of musicians to perform at a memorial service for Apple founder Steve Jobs at the company’s California headquarters. 3. They don’t eat meat on Mondays. The band was one of the first and most prominent supporters of the “Meat Free Monday” food campaign started by fellow musician Paul McCartney in 2009. The campaign attempts to help slow climate change by encouraging families to eat meat-free at least one day a week. Martin himself is a well-known vegetarian who was named the “World’s Sexiest Vegetarian” in 2005 by animal rights group PETA. 4. They rock but they’re family men too. Martin, Buckland, Berryman and Champion are all fathers so they have a tour demand unusual to most rockers: they demand 10 days off every month during their tours to spend quality time with their families. The other guys in the band have little kids as well, so they want to tour in a family-friendly way,” Martin’s wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, the mom of his two children Apple and Moses, recently told Harper’s Bazaar magazine. The foursome have made another pact somewhat unusual also in the rock world, staying clean. Coldplay created a rule for themselves that states, “Any member of the band caught using hard drugs will be dismissed immediately.” 5. They almost fell apart. Chris Martin told the UK’s The Telegraph in 2008 that the band came close to calling it quits after the release of their third album, “X&Y,” in 2005. The album sold 10 million copies but was panned by some music critics who called it inferior to the band’s 2002 album, “A Rush Of Blood To The Head.” “After the last album, we weren’t really talking to each other; we were falling apart. We didn’t own ourselves: there were too many swanky dinners, too many award ceremonies. We could almost just have phoned in the songs for the new album from our holiday homes. I wanted to burn all the awards, erase the past,” Martin said.

Why yes, he is. I have to wait NINE more weeks to see him again :( Sigh. Look at those shoulders...

Thanks to the lovely Tracey (MartinFan) and her daughter, I am going to the Tampa show! Woo hoo! Her daughter won tickets from a radio station and wants me to go with her. Please cross your fingers that they don't have to cancel this show too, like they did in 2009, when I also flew 2200 miles from CA to Florida to see them. :) I can't wait!!!

There is something so special about being in the front. And that moment at KROQ was mortifying. When they accused me of illegally downloading? I had more to say to them, but oh well, I said it to them off-air. And yes, Chris stood up for me. What a surreal thing. So far, I've seen them twice this year, both from up front. But I don't think I can ever top the Club Nokia performance. Everything about it was just perfect. (Even though I'm finally recovering from the cold I caught from Chris because the guy sweats like a faucet and he was sick and he sweated on us :dozey:). A fellow Coldplayer caught a photo of me on the giant video screen, which pretty much sums up my feelings that night.

My dvr ended right after that shot of JK with the crowd behind him. I saw you, me and Mitch. I'll take a photo of my tv tomorrow and post it - unless it's online somewhere. I didn't know he introduced CP from the very back of the crowd, too.

Oh I might have a few choice words for the studlly-ness that is Will, but I don't think they're repeatable ;)

Oh I have 18, 16, and 13 (and 21 but she doesn't live at home anymore). The younger 3 have all been to shows with me. The 18 year old in 2006, the 16 year old in 2009 and the 16 and 13 year olds to the UCLA show last summer. I couldn't afford to take them to the Hollywood Bowl shows, those are date nights for my husband and me... Overall, teenagers are awesome. :)

Oh, I know I've done my job well when my 16 year old son is listening to the Coldplay channel on Pandora while playing on his computer in our loft, and singing along to EVERY SINGLE Coldplay song - even the less well known ones, like Spies or Don't Panic. Makes this momma's heart proud. :heart: And in keeping with the spirit of this thread, here's one of that handsome guy you all love so much, from Nokia... This is one of my favorites, you can all pretend he's looking at you.
