he certainly does have his feet on the ground ;), i had thought of questions i wanted to ask before hand, they all went out my head as soon as i saw him and what i said to him was unstructured and pretty boring to hear i guess, but he was great. oh i remembered exactly when i went, it was chris's birthday, so 2nd or 3rd of march not quite sure

What if - Coldplay

Encounters with the band!!! I finally plucked up the courage to visit the Beehive/Bakery a few weeks ago and had been up all night thinking of stuff I would say to anyone I might catch outside. As I approached the studio I saw Matt McGinn walk into a nearby shop confirming I was at the right place. There were two roadies sat outside the studio and I suddenly felt a rush of blood to the head ;) I felt that I had made a mistake going there and felt very rude thinking I could do this. I escaped around the corner until I pulled myself back together. When I returned the roadies had gone back inside and there was no sign of Matt. The studio was indeed how the band had described in several interviews but what I couldn't believe was the best band in the world were based on an ordinary street, parents were walking their kids home from school. After around 10 minutes I decided I better leave, happy enough just seeing the place where it all happens. I had turned the wrong way and again walked past the studio correcting my mistake and there stood Guy! It was fate! He was smoking (booo!) I was immediately taken back and felt like a speck of dust aside one of my absolute hero's. He looked very calm and was dressed casually, My heart rate hit incredible levels but once I said hello I was surprised that I was incredibly calm too. He looked a little taken back at first but we got on very well and spoke for around 5-10 minutes. I told him that when I saw them in Manchester it was the best night of my entire life, I told him I cover lots of their songs on youtube, how I came across and am addicted to the band and that I was on the boat, 'what boat' he replied. 'the Coldplay boat' I responded. He looked pretty confused and didn't know what the hell I was talking about, I reasserted my thoughts and told him I was one of the extras tasked with releasing balloons from a boat on the River Thames for the Christmas Lights video. 'Oh yes the boat'. We were back on track. We spoke about Photography and my university course, had a picture taken together and he thanked me for supporting the band. Here was Guy Berryman thanking me for supporting the band. This was insane, its the band that support me! Before Guy made his way back inside we shook hands, I also shook Matts hand and thanked him for writing such a great book. A very nice roadie named Andy greeted me and brought me some coldplay souvenirs, I was made up and for the rest of the day was incredibly happy! Guy is so down to Earth, very out going, well spoken and polite. He even seemed interested in me despite me saying things im pretty sure he will have heard a million times. He really strengthened my love for the band. So Guy if you happen to stumble upon this, thankyou very much! If you read this far thanks! I would be interested to hear any of your stories too Jack1505/Tomahawk1505

I would die if Coldplay released all or some of their discarded material from the Viva era, well from any era, I think i pretty much have everything that they have released, everything that has leaked, all the 1 time live performances like wedding bells and sweet marianne, Coldplay are great, Just great!

Lukas? Hey there! is there a full version of Lukas anywhere with just Chris Martin singing, I already have the version where his vocals bleed onto the track...

completely? then that would be Christmas lights

Hey I'm trying to learn what if on piano, I learnt 90% of it in around a day, but I just cant figure out the ending.. I have noticed piano covers on youtube either skip it out completely or do a simplified version... well I want to do it properly Can anyone help me with the ending, from 4:22 to the end? Ive been learning it for a friend I have on youtube and I don't want to disappoint! I should maybe add that I can't read music... Thanks Jack/tomahawk1505

in the morning, hum a few scales, a little later open your jaw, keep it STILL, and do some scales singing la ga la ga la ga la ga... then open your jaw as low as you can stick your tongue out and do the scales like this, ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya.. then sing a few easy songs like dont panic rest for an hour then get on to the song you want to do... thats what I do and dont be afraid to use ur falsetto, Chris uses it all the time

Thread is full of win

Random info: I just met someone on a night out who's sister knew Chris Martin as 'weird Chris' who played guitar on the stairs (presumably at UCL). This is fascinating to me as it gives an insight on Chris's university life. It shows how confident and passionate he was about his music. I feel i know him a little better after hearing this. I myself play piano and wish I had the confidence to play on the stairs at university! Thanks, Jack

Id love to hear great expectations and famous old painter and mining on the moon oh and leftrightleftrightleft... Id love to hear them all but

Congrats this is great news! Im so happy for you! I love hearing that other people have a coldplay worship wall! XD I have one too! I love the band so much!

Sorry I dont know the chords to be honest, I cant read music...

At some point if I reach 500 subs, Im going to (maybe on a new channel) post tutorials for all the coldplay songs I have covered they will be recorded over head in HD at half speed This is my channel http://www.youtube.com/user/Tomahawk1505

london is coldplay central! i love it not sure if the free tickets are TOTP's or coldplays doing but i love how they treat their fans, the boat ride, hand written notes, free tickets its so personal with coldplay

i genuinely love it, allthough i scored it a 9 for the simple reason i dont like how 'when your still waiting for the snow the snow to fall' is repeated consequtivly, surely chris could have thought of an awesome extra line but that me bitching its fantastic!

its crossed my mind to have some lyric or song title on my wrist.... but i doubt ill do it

I LOVED the whole viva appearence, I want them to do something new though so I fall in love with their fashion again!

hey, I dont use any sheets for my covers sorry! i learn by ear and youtube tutorials :P although the sheet music for alllll (yes every single song) coldplay songs are on here somewhere http://www.4shared.com/dir/8921731/93e474f9/Coldplay_Sheet_Music.html# LLL - that would be FANTASTIC!!!!
