Davide Rossi, arranger, composer, conductor has contributed so much to Coldplay along with many other great bands, The Verve, George Ezra, Ed Sheeran, Goldfrapp and is a member of Black Submarine. We thought he deserved his own thread! From Davide's Website: “Davide Rossi has played most if not all of the strings on the last three Coldplay albums. He is a real joy to work with. His “one man string section” technique is a wonder to behold and enables us to work one on one for hours, giving the string tracks a special focus and making them more than a production afterthought. He plays so well and is such a pleasure to be around. I cannot recommend him highly enough.” Chris Martin (Coldplay) Here is a place to post some of his great tweets, posts and insta's! (tried to go back to the start with anything Coldplay related) I will add more just wanted to get the juice flowing! <iframe style="position: absolute; visibility: hidden;" allowfullscreen="" class="twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered" allowtransparency="true" scrolling="no" id="twitter-widget-0" frameborder="0"></iframe><iframe style="position: absolute; visibility: hidden;" allowfullscreen="" class="twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered" allowtransparency="true" scrolling="no" id="twitter-widget-0" frameborder="0"></iframe><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Very busy period... 4 arrangements for Duran Duran's new album, 1 for George Ezra, always Coldplay on the side... could be worse I guess...</p>— Davide Rossi (@rossidavide) <a href="https://twitter.com/rossidavide/status/533023394108022784">November 13, 2014</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">My week started with delivery of last track for <a href="https://twitter.com/duranduran">@duranduran</a> then rehearsals with <a href="https://twitter.com/george_ezra">@george_ezra</a> and tonight attending <a href="https://twitter.com/coldplay">@coldplay</a> at <a href="https://twitter.com/BBC">@BBC</a></p>— Davide Rossi (@rossidavide) <a href="https://twitter.com/rossidavide/status/541975133301514241">December 8, 2014</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Best seats in the house!

THIS!!! YES PLEASE AND THANKS BE TO YOU

even grosser

who the fuck knows he kept a hand anywhere? were these witnesses in the back seat with them? so redic

Miss Texas has returned! It would take this thread to bring her back since there has been no pornstache posted lately. Have fun! drink some boots for me!

Maybe in this time and age we need to stop trying to categorize types of music, Pop, rock, alternative, ok ok you can put Jazz in its own little place but why do we need to put it in compartments? My stat and chart ppl are cursing me out but We all have our own individual taste, but it seems music is melding. Take Midnight, so reminded us of Bon Iver and I thought a little bit of Radiohead. Musicians are influenced by all different types of music and it reflects in their songs. Tell me 15 years ago I would like Sigur Ross or Fleet Foxes and I would say you are bat crazy. Pop is not shit and Rock is not shit, it's just not what YOU like to hear. Rock today is not the same rock as 35 years ago. Alt is not the same Alt it was 25 years ago. Coldplay is not the same band they were 15 years ago. Music evolves and changes, as do tastes. AHFOD will come out when it comes out, no will die if it does not come out tomorrow. The band knows what it is doing and when it arrives we will love it or not love it but appreciate it because it is something Coldplay has created. Isn't it why we are all here?

"Double Fantasy"

Just found this of BuzzFeed Community, just a little info on A- Ha! http://www.buzzfeed.com/johnnyr6/a-ha-30-things-you-may-not-know-about-the-band-be-arl4#.bs7xnqYKd A-Ha! 30 Things You May Not Know About The Band Behind “Take On Me” In America, when you hear the name “a-ha,” either you think someone’s experienced a revelation or you find yourself humming “Take on Me,” but the career of the trio behind that classic track is far more substantial than just the one single. On the 30th anniversary of the release of the band’s debut album, Hunting High and Low, here’s your chance to learn about the history of a-ha from the very beginning all the way up to where things stand with the band in 2015. 1. It’s not exactly breaking news that a-ha consists of three gentlemen from Norway named Morten Harket (vocals), Magne Furuholmen (keyboards) and Paul Waaktaar-Savoy (guitars), but what you may not know is that the line-up was officially cemented on Morten’s 23rd birthday. Magne and Paul, who’d already been playing together, had headed England earlier in the year with plans of breaking into the music business and had asked Morten if he’d be interested in tagging along, but at the time he’d been happy as a member of a soul/blues band called Souldier Blue. Things didn’t pan out quite like Magne and Paul had planned, however, so they returned home to Norway, and having done so, they decided to reach out to Morten again. This time he accepted, and on September 14, 1982, Magne and Paul paid Morten a visit to formally welcome him as their lead singer. 2. The band was named after a song written by guitarist Paul Waaktaar-Savoy, the title of which caught the eye of lead singer Morten Harket while flipping through Waaktaar’s songbook. “It was a terrible song,” Harket told Rolling Stone in 1986, “but a great name.” 3. You’d have to have been living under a rock during the mid-’80s to have missed out on seeing the video for “Take on Me,” but you may not have realized that the gentleman who directed the clip – Steve Barron – was also responsible for the videos for Adam and the Ants’ “Antmusic,” Dire Straits’ “Money for Nothing,” Eddy Grant’s “Electric Avenue,” Fleetwood Mac’s “Hold Me,” The Human League’s “Don’t You Want Me,” Joe Jackson’s “Steppin’ Out” and “Breaking Us in Two,’ Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean,” and Toto’s “Africa,” not to mention seven additional a-ha videos (“The Sun Always Shines on T.V.,” “Hunting High and Low,” “Cry Wolf,” “Manhattan Skyline,” “The Living Daylights,” “Crying in the Rain,” and “Butterfly, Butterfly”). 4. It seems odd to look back on it now, but when a-ha performed “Take on Me” on the syndicated music series Solid Gold, they were a four-piece, with the regular trio supplemented by a drummer. This drummer wasn’t actually part of the band, but, hey, when a band plays live, they’re supposed to have a drummer, right? Even if a-ha had wanted to increase their membership permanently, the musician in question already had a day job, and…well, call us crazy, but we’re pretty sure The Go-Go’s didn’t want Gina Schock to depart their ranks. 5. Pop culture pundits have often tried to plug a-ha into the “One Hit Wonders” column, but it’s simply not true: while “The Sun Always Shines on T.V.” wasn’t as substantial a hit in the States, the single still managed to make it to #20 on the Billboard Hot 100. 6. “Train of Thought” was a-ha’s third consecutive top-10 single in the UK - Noel Gallagher of Oasis is an avowed fan of the song - but its only US success came via a remix which saw a bit of action on the Hot Dance Club Play chart. It’s a bit surprising that MTV didn’t push the video a bit more, given that it featured animation not unlike that of the “Take On Me” video. (The similarity, by the way, was not coincidental: not only were the same people - Candice Reckinger and Michael Patterson - responsible for both, the animation in the “Train of Thought” video actually pre-dated the “Take On Me” animation.) 7. Although it never charted in the U.S., the title track to a-ha’s debut album, Hunting High and Low, was a top-10 hit in Norway (#10), the Netherlands (#9), France (#4), Ireland (#4), and the UK (#5), and it’s been played live by Coldplay - indeed, Chris Martin has said outright, “The first band I ever loved was a-ha” - and Robbie Williams, who once declared a-ha to be “fucking great.” You can read the rest on the website!
