Coldplay Artist Information Thanks to ‘Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends’ (2008) Coldplay are now bigger than ever. The band found new artistic directions thanks to the inspirational help of producer Brian Eno. More people than ever before joined in. The Britons' fourth album is the most downloaded album ever – paid downloads, that is. The title track earned them their first #1 at both sides of the Atlantic. The supporting tour went on for about two years and counted 172 gigs on 5 continents. It is not exactly clear what is next. At least we know that there is a new album in the making, since they have once again been spotted in the studio with Brian Eno. ‘Christmas Lights’ is a forerunner, a good-old end-of-year song to close off a wonderful year. They made a guest appearance in The Simpsons, they celebrated the tenth birthday of their debut album ‘Parachutes’ and they are now even an iPhone app.

you welcom....;)

1) Hello Nikki, and happy New Year. Thanks for giving us this interview, it's a honor for us to interview someone who took a huge part in Coldplay's debut. Thank you and a happy new year to you too. 2) Could you introduce yourself so the fans can really know who you are? Ok, well I'm a musician, producer and artist, although pretty much retired from the full time music scene now. Until a few years ago I ran Sync City Studio in London along with my partner Ron Niblett. You can follow what I'm up to now at www.nikkirosetti.co.uk 3) First, when and how have you discovered Coldplay? Coldplay were recommended to us as most of our clients were. It was all word of mouth and the studio had a good reputation for producing consistently good quality work. 4) When have you started to think "Coldplay's a group I should work with"? When the band first came in I was a little intrigued by the sound of the band but it was only when the Chris added the vocal that the sound became the complete and unique thing that it was. Then my interest was sparked. 5) How happened your first meeting with them? Our first meeting was really just the formalities of arranging recording times and discussing the session in broad terms. It wasn't until the recording got underway that I really heard what the band was all about. 6) What were your first impressions about them? I think they were unusual in that they had already evolved the structure that worked so well with the early songs, Jons guitar sound was developed, as was Chris's vocal and lyric style. I supposed they were more fully formed than many bands and had a clear idea of the sound and feel that they wanted to achieve. also they understood music and the structure of songs, they were very musically mature. 7) How was the atmosphere in the studio? Was it hard to record? Was the studio ready in matter of equipment? No it was very relaxed and friendly and was probably the easiest sessions I've ever worked on. We spent some time in Jons guitar effects setup I recall. As for equipment, I was (and still do) believe that it's not how much flashy equipment you've got, but how you use it. although we were one of the earliest digital studios, our old Allen and Heath desk was getting on a bit! I know the band were really pleased with the recordings and the sound was not least due to the equipment we had (good and bad) and our familiarity with it. I think You have to know your equipment inside out and that desk and I became intimate over the years! 8 ) Which is the best song you produced for them according to you? Such A Rush. It has such passion and movement, although I think that the subsequent re-mix I did does it more justice than the 'safety' version. 9) Had you more affinities with one guy of the band and if so, why? I definitely spent more time with Chris, working on vocals. Chris was a perfectionist and knew what he wanted. We spent hours on multiple takes and drop-ins. 10) We know you weren't the only one to produce these EP's, Ken Nelson and Chris Alison were a part of it too, how were the relationships between you three? The 'Safety' e.p. was produce entirely at Sync City by the band and myself. Tracks for the 'Blue Room' were recorded at Sync city where I was producing with the band and elsewhere by the other producers and put together by the record company. I never met the other two. 'No more keeping my feet on the ground' which appeared as the 'B' side to 'Yellow' came from the 'Safety' sessions. 11) You worked with Keane too when they began, do you think Keane and Coldplay are similar? Keane came to the studio as a development band for RCA. In those days they still had their guitarist and he gave them a very 'Coldplay' sound. I think that is no longer the case and they have their own distinctive sound. Keane were another band who were immediately recognisable by their vocalist, yet very different. 12) How you do feel when we associate you to the beginning of the story of Coldplay? I suppose it is nice but maybe somewhat overplayed, when you get a band with such natural ability as musicians and writers, it would be very difficult to turn out a bad result! 13) Have you any regrets about the productions of these EP's? I can't think of any regrets, I feel that the band has lost the magic and excitement now, which they had in those very early days. They are more commercialised now but that's the inevitable result of signing up for the music merry go round. That's the 'business' part of the music business. I'm afraid, for me, that writing and releasing a Christmas song puts you firmly in the 'pop' camp. 14) Do you still have a copy of the demo tape? I have copies of the 'Safety' e.p. and remixes I did of all the songs from the 'Safety' sessions. together with the songs from the subsequent session about six months later. 15) We both know the success Safety and Blue Room have had, why didn't you produce Parachutes too? You would need to to ask the band or Phil Harvey about that. I guess when a band is signed the record company picks their producer and studio. Having said that, during the recording of 'Parachutes' Phil Harvey rang me to say that they were struggling to re-create the sound and he asked if we had studio time available. Well we didn't hear anything further. It just goes to show you, you can have the best studio and equipment in the world but if you don't have my old Allen and Heath desk..........! 16) How did you decide which songs should be or not on the Ep's? Entirely the band's decision. 17) What happened to the songs like Vitamins, So Sad or If All Else? These songs live on in my collection and get played regularly. They are unlikely ever to see the light of day though. 18) How do you feel when you know that the band you gave their first chance is known as one of the greatest rock band in the world? Not surprised. It was obvious to anyone who heard them that there could be no other outcome. And they still seem to be the same guys, but with trendier haircuts than before. 19) Are you still in touch with the band? No. 20) which of the four last album was the most complete and perfect in the production according to you ? I'm afraid for me that guitar based bands need to have a raw edge. Technology and the need to produce a flawless product tend to iron out the character of any band. I was very pleased and surprised to hear that Brian Eno was to work with the band. I couldn't really put the two together at first. Eno and Talking Heads for example was an obvious move, but Coldplay? Well I guess I'd give it to Brian as he's one of my heroes. 21) A classic question, which of Coldplay's song you didn't produce is your favorite? It would definitely come from Parachutes and would be either 'Don't Panic' or 'Everything’s Not Lost' because I think they capture more of the Coldplay I knew. 22) Finally, could you say a word to the fans from ColdplayCorner.com, and can you say some words in French? Bonjour la France! Je vous remercie de m'avoir invité à discuter avec vous et j'espère qu'il y aura quelque chose à vous intéressent ici. Bonne année à vous tous. (Sorry) 23) Thank you for giving us your time, it was a great honor to ask you these questions. Thanks for inviting me.

You Welcome...

;)

In French... https://coldplaycorner.com/index.php/mob-coldplaycorner/interviews/matt-mcginn-nous-parle-du-travail-avec-coldplay

1) First of all, good morning Matt, I hope you're fine and thank you for giving us this interview, especially now, with the movements of the band all around, after the release of Christmas Lights. No problem. 2) When and how did you meet the band and how did you come to work with them ? ...I was asked to drive their van to Blackpool from London, back in 2000. We hit it off and here we all are, ten years later! 3) Tell us about the atmosphere that prevails when working with a band like Coldplay, what should we expect ? It's happy and fun but also quite serious. Can get tense, too, but only because everyone wants it to be the best thing. 4) Tell us what you think about the French fans... All the fans around the world are great, but I thinkl the French are among the noisiest. This is a good thing! 5) And what is your best memory or live in France ? See below... 6) Chris reportedly said that " the best Viva La Vida Tour concert was the one of the Parc Des Princes, 7. September 2009". You confirm ? That day has a happy memory for me - my daughter (who is 4 now) loves Viva La Vida and calls it 'Daddy Song'. She was running around at the soundcheck when the band suddenly started to play it really loud - I'll never forget the look on her face! 7) And the work on the new album, what about the recording sessions ? Can we say that the album is completed/ready or not yet ? It's in a good place right now but who knows? With Coldplay, everything changes, right til the end! 8) Viva La Vida tour spanned more than 180 dates in different countries across the globe, sometimes in two different countries in just 24 hours... It has been difficult for you and all the staff of the band, hours of aircraft, hours of assembly et disassembly of equipment... How you and the rest of the staff have lived it ? It was tiring but amazing. The hard part is coming home and trying to be normal, in a house. 9) At the inauguration of the Cosmopolitain Hotel, were you with the band ? If yes, tell us how it was... You mean Las Vegas? It was a cool night. I thought Jonny's guitar playing was better than ever. 10) The worst live act you have lived with Coldplay ? Probably the outdoor Viva show in Abu Dhabi, when we were hit by a freak storm that nearly destroyed the equipment. Or Werchter Festival, Belgium, during Rush Of Blood; the guitar rig went silent in front of 30,000 people and I couldn't fix it. Terrible! 11) By not mentioning Jonny, who is the person you love most in the group or staff, and why ? Hoppy, who is Chris Martin's guitar tech. He is like a big brother. But so is everyone...or a sister, if it's a girl. 12) Did you already know ColdplayCorner before, or not at all ? No, I wasn't aware of the website before but have been looking at it today. Very nice indeed! 13) What do you do when you have free time ? Sleep, drink beer with friends, spend time with my family, sleep some more, drive around listening to AC/DC, etc. 14) Frankly Matt, a Coldplay song that you love ? Clocks, always, every time, knocks me sideways. It is incredible, whichever way you look at it, especially at a concert if, like me, you're standing near the guitar amps. Brilliant riffs, drums, piano, melody, everything. So powerful. 15) Did you already know France before, or not at all ? Not really... but I'd been to Isigny-Sur-Mer with my school, on an exchange, in about 1979. Crazy times, like any bunch of teenagers away from home...probably gave me the taste for touring! 16) Finally Matt, thank you for giving us a little of your time and we wish you a very good start in the year 2011 , with all our best wishes for you and the band ! Could you say a word to ColdplayCorner ? Because we just celebrate the fifth anniversary of the site , on January 4. last ( we are here since 2005 and online since 2006 ). Good luck, keep the faith. Thankyou for asking me to do this interview. 17) A word to all the French fans and a few words in French if it's not asking too much.. ? Merci! Vive La France!
