i was shocked and amazed just now, i saw chris's face pop up on mtv news. i overlooked the threads about his arrest. my opinion is this: should he have gutted the soul of the photographers car = of course not. do i understand his anger and the reason = absolutely. now i feel less intimidated if i ever meet him, he has shown a human quality---irritation. has anyone ever seen that special on paparratzi (spell check?) on vh1, they can really harrass people. case in point, i am happy finally someone did something to those hounds, but sad he lost his temper and now has a potmark on his record. oh well, long live rock & roll. (do you think they might start trashing hotel rooms now? nah...)

hey. i just noticed, johnny and i wear the same shoes! yay! converse are the best.

don't get bummed if you can't find it on stands yet, i have a subscription. sometimes i get it before you can buy it. if you can't find it, go to http://www.bamm.com and type in INTERVIEW magazine. it's like a few bucks there.

Coldplay The Band That Owns The Moment Chris Martin By Elton John Photos By John Scott ELTON JOHN: You just played Madison Square Garden last night, right? How was it? CHRIS MARTIN: It was amazing. EJ: The Garden is my favorite venue in the world to play. The floor bounces—you must’ve noticed that. CM: Well, we’re kind of soft rock. No one really moves. EJ: Oh, please! I saw you in Atlanta, and you’re not at all. But listen, you must feel as if you’ve come a long way as a live band. CM: Well, we have a lot more smoke and mirrors. Also, don’t be shy—Atlanta was the concert where you came up on stage and played with us. EJ: Yeah. It was great to play with you guys. And it blew me away that the whole audience knew every single word to every song of yours. [laughs] CM: Really? I don’t believe you. EJ: It was like going to an old Rod Stewart concert, where he never used to sing because the audience sang all the words. You must be thrilled about what’s happening. You’ve made a giant leap from the first album, Parachutes, which was a great debut, to your second, A Rush Of Blood To The Head [both Capitol]. And as a performer within a band, you’ve certainly got so much confidence. I like the fact that you play the upright piano. CM: Thanks. We thought about a grand piano, but I don’t think we could get away with it. EJ: Well, you’re so long and spindly that it really has a great effect, I think. It’s a bit Charlie Chaplin-esque. And the sound is great too. CM: Thank you. It’s been fun, everything that’s happened to us. Today I’m feeling relaxed because we’ve finished touring America for this album. But when I think about where we were a year ago. It’s totally bonkers, really. When you’re on tour, you get caught up in the whole thing. You’re worrying about day to day, and then you sit back and go, “Wow, we went from that to this.” EJ: When I saw you, I thought, “Oh, my God, I haven’t seen a band like this since I saw U2 a long time ago.” [Martin laughs] I know it’s big shoes to fill, but I felt—and everybody with me that night said—“God, this is a big band.” CM: We just wrote a song called “Monday, Bloody Monday.” We reckon it’s going to be massive. [John laughs] It’s weird: You must have had comparisons too, but we’ve had so many now that we’re not sure who we are. EJ: Yeah, well, you’re uniquely yourselves. I get the feeling that you’re all close. CM: I hope so. EJ: Because being in a band, you’ve got four different personalities going on, and you’re with each other a lot of the time, and you drive each other crazy. And that leads to friction, which sometimes leads to great bands not seeing their life span through because of the personal things that go on. CM: Right, right. Well, it’s hard for us to be unhappy at the moment. All we’re thinking about now is writing new songs. After a year of promoting one album, you stop going at it. We stopped at the beginning of the new record’s release because we were all very tense about releasing it, and I’m sure we will be on the next one as well. EJ: So, are you going to do an album fairly quickly? CM: No, no. no. we’re going to try to reinvent the wheel. EJ: Do you get homesick when you are on the road? CM: A bit, but our families and our girlfriends will be with us a lot on this tour, so we’re basically having the time of our lives. EJ: I’ll bet. Have you been to the cinema? What do you like to so when you have any days off? CM: That’s a good question. The main thing I like to do is write music. And we watch a lot of films, I suppose. I used to love going bowling, but then we stopped because we thought it was pretty cheesy. We play football. We do everything your average young man does. EJ: Do you guys travel by plane or by bus? CM: We have a sort of hodgepodge. We don’t have our private Elton jet yet, but we occasionally get flown. EJ: A lot of bands really like going on the bus because it gives them camaraderie. CM: The other day we spent four hours on the bus watching The Osbournes. I was really suspicious about the show when I first heard about it, although it must be weird for them to have cameras around all the time. EJ: Invasion of privacy is a complex thing to deal with. You must be having to confront it now, what with the band’s success and everything else. For example, everyone knows who you are going out with. When I saw you, I didn’t even mention it because (a) it’s none of my business and (b) it’s something very precious to a person. CM: I never talk about it. [About the paparazzi]—there are worse things going on in the world. But sometimes you see your potbelly in the paper—it’s annoying. EJ: In a very public life, privacy is very important. But back to The Osbournes—with something like that you get used to the cameras. David [Furnish] did a documentary on me once named Tantrums & Tiaras, and it was a year of him following me around with a handheld camera, and I just didn’t realize it was there after a while, which was really good. CM: How did you feel about that film? EJ: I loved it. Because I know the behavior; people thought it was a bit outrageous. CM: People love that, though. EJ: And some of the temper tantrums; but that’s how I am, and it’s the most honest thing I could do at that stage in my life. I wanted to do something that wasn’t too reverent; I wanted to show the side of the beast that sometimes isn’t so nice, and we all have it in us. We can be so self-destructive, and, you know, at the wrong time, when we’re tired and when we’re irritable, we’re completely irrational, and that must happen to you as well. CM: I can be a total cunt. EJ: I think every creative person is capable of it. CM: I agree, but I think every person is capable of it. EJ: I know that you guys have causes that you really care about. CM: The main thing that we’ve been trying to talk about is this website called maketradefair.com [Oxfam Trade Campaign]. This whole idea—well, not the idea, but the fact that so much of the way that world trade operates is completely unjust, and the balance is very wrong: It’s all favoring England and America and France and really screwing over a sugar grower. It sounds like we’re trying to be very virtuous, but we’re just trying to talk about— EJ: —Fairness. CM: Yeah, it’s just, if you do a record, in the same way like when Metallica kicked up a fuss [about on-line song piracy] or whatever—although that’s slightly cringe-worthy—if you spend three months growing some cocoa and someone rips you off on it, then you’re going to be annoyed. EJ: And we’re okay, even if our records are downloaded—we still do okay. CM: Yeah, exactly. What does it matter? EJ: The other kind of thing is life and death to a person in a way, because it’s their livelihood. CM: Yeah. We thought rather than advertising a product, we’d rather advertise the website. EJ: I have a feeling that these days there is more camaraderie between bands—swapping ideas, playing with each other. CM: Well, it’s fascinating to me that however glamourous or unglamourous [my] life gets as a musician, the thing I still like to do most when I meet people is just sit and talk about bands all day. EJ: I do too. So have you heard any new music that you really like lately? CM: Oh, yeah, man. It’s funny, because when you come to America, it reminds you of all the English bands that you love. Like our favorite band right now is probably Ash, you know, from Britain. EJ: From Northern Ireland. CM: Exactly. And I’ve been listening to some Bob Dylan. My uncle used to sing me this song called “Froggie Went A-Courtin’,” and that’s what I’m listening to at the moment. EJ: What do you think of the White Stripes? CM: I think they’re totally brilliant. And Ron Sexsmith—he’s been touring with us—and this band called Eisley. And I’ve been listening to the new Radiohead album and the new Blur album. There’s a song on [blur’s] called “Sweet Song,”which has got the best melody of all time. EJ: Have you heard the Flaming Lips album? CM: We played with them the other day in Seattle, and that’s one band you just can’t follow. The Flaming Lips live is like having an injection of something nice. It’s like a big party. EJ: Every week something different comes out, something inspiring, like the Flaming Lips or you all or Radiohead or Ryan Adams or Skin, and I think, Christ, I hope I could do something as good as that. CM: Don’t be too hard on yourself, man. You did write “Rocket Man.” [both laugh] Matt Diehl Talks To The Rest Of The Band Jon Buckland = The Hook Master MATT DIEHL: Would you call A Rush Of Blood To The Head a darker album than Parachutes? JON BUCKLAND: It’s a little darker, I suppose. But we tried to be uplifting with both records—we don’t want to depress people. We knew a little more of what we were doing with A Rush Of Blood To The Head; before Parachutes, I’d been out of Britain only about three times in my life. And we wanted to be a lot more energetic. Fast songs are really hard to write. But bob Dylan is really the influence [for] both records. MD: What about Dylan is so powerful for you? JB: He never bores you—he’s constantly surprising. Pretty much any album he’s done is really good, including the ones in the ‘80s! [both laugh] What I love about Dylan is that sometimes it sounds almost like he hasn’t really taught the band the song—they’re just following him. MD: Do you aspire to that? JB: We aspire to be as ramshackle as possible. Chris has the amazing ability to come up with stuff on the spot. I’ve never seen anything like it—he’s able to write a song and sing it at the same time, making it up as he goes along. MD: I read that you had nearly completed your second album, but then Chris listened to a George Harrison song that made him think, “Oh, we haven’t done anything as good as this.” Subsequently, you remade the album. JB: Yes, that’s right. “Isn’t It A Pity,” [from All Things Must Pass, 1970], I think, was the one we listened to. And then Chris wrote “The Scientist.” Actually, that’s the song that really turned it around for us. Then suddenly “The Scientist” came out of nowhere in a day and a half. We thought it was the best thing we’d ever written. MD: What’s next for you? JB: We’ve written a lot of songs, but we’ve got too many for an album. We don’t really know where we’re going to go. But it’s good to have that kind of edge. This is why it’s exciting: We don’t really know what’s going to happen. Will Champion = The Pacesetter MD: How did Coldplay come together? WILL CHAMPION: The first time we all played as a band, I think it was in January 1998, in Johnny’s bedroom. We were all at university [university College London] together: Johnny and Chris lived together with two other guys up in Camden [Town], in north London. The first song we ever played was called “Ode To Deodorant.” MD: Deodorant? WC: Yeah. [both laugh] It was one of the first songs we ever wrote together. MD: What was that about? WC: Well, surprisingly enough, deodorant. It had a good ending and a good bass line, but it was a crappy song, and we played it for about two hours. I had the number of a local promoter; we phoned him up right after our first rehearsal and asked, “Can we have a gig?” And he said, “Yeah, but you have to bring 25 people.” So we just told everyone we knew. Two weeks later, we played our first concert and had 100 people there. It was pretty cool. MD: And you played a 20-minute version of “Ode To Deodorant”? WC: No, no! We played six songs; then they wanted an encore, so we played the second song again. [both laugh] MD: How many of those songs showed up on the first album? WC: “High Speed” we might have played, and a song called “Panic,” which then became “Don’t Panic.” MD: How did it go from “Panic” to “Don’t Panic”? WC: I think we got more confident. MD: How did the band at that first rehearsal evolve into the Coldplay of today? WC: I don’t think it’s changed a great deal. Coldplay are just four friends trying to make great music. As soon as we played together, it was much better than anything else we’d ever heard. At the end of the day, we’re just trying to prevent each other from going mad. Guy Berryman = The Ace Of Bass MD: What roles do the various Coldplay members play? Chris Martin once said that the rhythm section is the ultimate filter: You and Will refuse to play bad songs. GUY BERRYMAN: [laughs] Well, that’s kind of true, I suppose. But Coldplay’s a complete democracy: We all have equal say. It takes only one person to disagree with something for it to be vetoed. MD: But does it get hard sometimes with the media putting the spotlight on Chris? GB: Yeah, there’s an emphasis on Chris at the moment, but it’s part of his role. I mean, look at U2; it’s always about Bono, right? And Chris is very good at handling the attention. I don’t really want to be in a spotlight at all. MD: As a band you’ve taken a strong stand on the issue of making world trade fair. Tell me about your position. GB: People are too afraid in this day and age to stand up and believe in something. We don’t really attach ourselves to any [issue] other than making trade fair. It’s common sense, really: Dumping excess crops grown in the Western world on other nations isn’t a fair deal for third-world farmers—it undermines their economy. MD: What did you do before joining Coldplay? GB: I was a musician since the age of 11. I went to college with the rest of the guys, but I didn’t finish. My dad was an engineer and I needed to choose something to study, so I thought I’d have a go at engineering. I absolutely hated it, so I dropped out. I worked in a bar in London while the rest of the band finished their degrees. As soon as they graduated, we started our first tour. MD: What would have happened if you’d actually ended up an engineer? GB: There was no risk of that happening whatsoever. [both laugh]
