Open-Politik

I was in tesco and I went to the magazine bit and picked up the Q mag and to my surprise Coldplay had an article in there. About there live shows. Q rated MEN, 5 stars. But my Mum said to go now and I didnt finish reading it. Has anyone got it!!?? And could they scan it or something!!

Hhahahh, copying Coldplay with the balls. Metallica rule. This vid is good too, they sound amazing!! Love Seek & Destroy!!

Thats what happened to me too. I was kinda scared to ask my Mum because of her saying, too much money on one thing and she needs it for something else. But I spoke to her and everything was put in place as to how much I love Coldplay!! And my bro dosent like Coldplay but I would drag him ther with my hands if I had to:P

Great point, I agree. This is what Coldplay wanted to acheive with VLV. They wanted everything to gel beautifully and it does. It never sounds a bit too much, and if it starts to then the next song is on. Like when Jonny likened it to a movie, you watch it all together. And to me, what they set out to acheive on this album is 100% correctly done.

Chris wanted to expand himself lyrics wise and he did. People say Coldplay songs are rubbish lyrics it should'nt always be so obvious about love and he took that criticism and used it constructively. Its vey different album. Thats why they had Eno on board. They wanted so many colours in a short time. Something people can jump to or whistle, which in my honest opinion Radiohead have never done, so all those peolple whosay with In Rainbows they changed everything then you can well, they havent done what Coldplay have done with Viva. So I geuss Coldplay went that one step better than Radiohead. So they should win every award they are nominated for:D

:rolleyes:

Sorry, crappy list:P

Yay!! I hope you get to go:D Why, Are you jealous Mark?:P

very nice!:)

Ewww!!

I have no idea which comes first but I do know that X&Y is definitely the weakest. Sometimes I cant STAND the songs on there. Parachutes is classic, amazing mellow-y sound to it. Sounds so brilliant. Rush was boom-boom, so big sounding but had integrity, amazing. VLV is amazing too, but it has its own sound which some people have chosen not to like because its diff from Coldpla, the same people who say Coldplay need to change instead of making the same record again and again. The 3 Records are tied for me,All for there own reasons!! But they are all amazing!!

Cool covers dude! Really great!!

^^I thought it was OK, kinda interesting, but the thing that baffles me is when Peters Mom tells Sylar he her son and he dose'nt even blink an eye. Its like 'Oh Mother, its been long'. Its like some random lady coming up to me saying, 'Your my son, live with me now' and I run off with here. Doesn't make any sense:confused: But I still hate, HATE S2. I hated the beginning, Middle and the ending, OH my god the ending!!!!

Ah crap, I just made a new thread, man!!!:(

Ah crap, I just made a new thread, man!!!:(

Jonny Lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvesssssssssssssssssssssssssss the Studio!!! Hello Jonny, what are you up to? I'm in the studio. The Bakery? Yes. We pop in all the time, but this is the first time we've been back doing a little bit of stuff with Brian. Mr Eno? Yeah. It was enjoyable last time, so we asked if he fancied doing a little bit more. We're just sort of trying ideas at the moment. With a view to what? Just to having some ideas! We thought it would be an enjoyable and interesting thing to do. Is hypnotism involved? No hypnotism this time. We're using a few less oblique strategies, but they're strategies all the same. Can you reveal any of those strategies? No, not really. We're trying a load of different things and seeing where they take us. Is it nice to be doing that again after all the gigs last year? Yeah it's refreshing. After you've been playing for a while it stops feeling creative, so it's good doing some new things. We're trying to do things that haven't been done before, by us or anyone else. Do you think of your job as being 50 percent in the studio and 50 percent on the road? I would say my job is going on the road and my hobby is being in the studio. I enjoy the playing part of touring. Being on the road is great in small doses. but if it's more than ten weeks away in one go, that can be hard. So, 2008 went pretty well for Coldplay. I haven't really thought about it, to be honest. Well, you had the biggest selling album in the world last year. Did we? That is incredible. And you played gigs all around the world to sold-out audiences. Yeah, it was a great year actually. Very enjoyable. The only bit that wasn't so enjoyable was the bit right before the album came out. But the rest of the year went remarkably well. What was the best gig of last year? Brixton Academy. It was exciting because we were playing the new stuff. The free one at Madison Square Garden was great as well. What was the worst mistake you made on stage in 2008? Oh there were so many! Splitting my trousers on the run back from the C-stage bit was pretty hair-raising. It was in America, around Dallas time. Did you have a good Christmas break? Yeah, I went to Jamaica. It was very nice. The big excitement since Christmas has been the video for Life In Technicolor ii. Absolutely. I think it's our best video. I always have a fondness for videos I don't have to be in. I didn't have to do anything. It was a dream video. I think we should do all our videos this way. Guy's puppet perhaps isn't the best likeness to him. Oh, I think it bears a sort of distant resemblance. But Guy's a good looking man and his puppet isn't terribly good looking. Well, how many puppets are good looking? How did the video come together? To be honest I didn't have that much to do with it. Phil, who features quite heavily in the video, worked with the director who came up with a couple of ideas. This was the one that fit with the song. What did you think of Phil's acting debut? I thought it was superb. I particularly loved his sweater. What are you looking forward to most about this year? The stadium gigs, definitely. And going to Australia will be good - it's a long time since we've been there. Are you re-thinking the whole show for the stadium gigs? Yes, probably. I think we'll spend a good chunk of April pondering that. We'll have to do some things differently, I think. Will you be going to the Carling Cup Final at Wembley for research purposes? Sadly not, as we'll be in Australia. I'm a bit gutted to be missing it. I can't believe we [Tottenham] made it in. I turned on the radio when we were 3-0 down to Burnley with five minutes to go in extra time. It's been a strange season. But I'm really pleased to have Jermain Defoe back. Presumably it's nice have received so many Grammy and Brit nominations. It's wonderful. I don't think we're going to win any, though. I like to go into these things thinking that way. Is it still strange rubbing shoulders with lots of famous people at award shows? It is a bit. You still get that thing where you think you know people but actually you've only seen them on the telly. I had an awfully embarrassing moment with somebody, who I'm not going to name, when I waved to them and then I thought to myself, "Oh no you idiot, you don't know her, you've just seen her on TV!' So, is there any sort of time scale on when we might hear this new material you're working on? Not at the moment. We're not even recording anything, we're just playing. We do have some songs, but we''re really just trying things out at the moment. How's the trying out been going? Really, really well. It feels like we're expanding our palates. And we're having fun. http://coldplay.com/newsdetail.php?id=282
