Coldplay

For the casual fan seeing Coldplay live for the first time since the band performed at the Paradise in Boston many years ago, last night's triumphant two-hour performance at the Comcast Center was like seeing your younger family members for the first time in years.

By McNutt Coldplay I don’t think Chris Martin ever saw a Bono stage move he didn’t like. That’s not a bad thing, actually – Coldplay’s most endearing attribute, in my books, is their almost shameless desire to be a big, important band and to push their sound – and their show – into the stratosphere. Whil...

By glasspaperweight Coldplay played pretty much every song from Viva La Vida, such as the title track, “Violet Hill,” “Strawberry Swing,” “Lost,” and “Death and All His Friends” plus all of their old great songs such as “The Scientist” (they did that song as an encore) a remix of “God Put a Smile on Your Face” th...

By kevinborst and then there was Coldplay. They played a good two hour set and blew us all away. The show was nothing but creative and entertaining. They took songs from there previous albums and brought new twists and turns and rocked out hard on there newest songs.

By onthecurb The piece de resistance, Coldplay.  Totally worth the pricey covertible those tickets will become while waiting to be paid off on my credit card.  Minor snag – I bought floor seats without considering Gav’s less than giant stature.  We spent the first five or so songs swapping places back an...

Coldplay's Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends was the highest selling album of 2008, and Chris Martin and company have been called the "biggest band in the world" a number of times in the past few years. If true, that would place U2 at No. 2. ...

Express from The Washington Post I really love the song “Viva la Vida” by Coldplay, but for Matt Giraud to have an arrangement that is basically the same one that Coldplay recorded but to try to sing it in a jazzier way, really didn’t seem to work. He also sounded a little nervous too ...

By Lozlo Pronowski By looking at the Grammy nominations, somebody can probably see that this wasn't a huge year for music.

By philspector And only a couple of years ago, Chris Martin was a poodle-haired rock God who’d even managed to snare his own Hollywood wife. In more recent snaps, it looks like he’s heading down the same extra-from-The-Matrix road as Satriani. Bonus track. Here’s the bleepy, slightly ambient wahp remix o...

By Nettie The plan was simple: go to Phoenix on Wednesday to visit friends and go to the Coldplay concert that night. Insert joke from “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” here. The plan quickly unraveled.

By Carsten “Beach Chair” seems to be the inspiration for the new Mick Boogie (Commissioner!) and Terry Urban mixtape, Viva La Hova. To carry on the grand tradition of putting Jay-Z’s lyrics to someone else’s beats, Viva puts Jay’s hot lines over Coldplay’s drums, guitars and vocals. Now, if you’re like me and don’t know a damn thing about Coldplay and prefer Chris E. Martin over Chris Martin, please check your apprehension at the door, because this is quite the worthy effort. Boogie and Urban gather up-and-comers (Remot, nVMe) and established vets (9th Wonder, and Cookin’ Soul) to hit the boards and merge Jay-Z and Coldplay into one cohesive sound. The result is one of the best Jay-Z remixes to hit our iPods since The Grey Album.   [read the full post]

First came U2 to argue that profundity is not a cardinal sin or character flaw in rock music-making: It's cool to be grandiose if you write good hooks. Enter Coldplay, who have worked even harder than U2 at building up a musical language to express ambition of design and largeness of feeling.

By Nettie U who? Coldplay, earnestly striving to be the biggest band in the world, might have reached that lofty goal. Only four albums into its career, the band has amassed a cadre of arena-ready sing-alongs and an equally large live show, which made a sold-out stop at the Wachovia Center in Philade...

By Frankie(noreply@blogger.com) Nowadays, what with the success of "Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors" and their current status as the world's new Coldplay (at least until the original Coldplay get off their arses, kill Mark Ronson and reclaim "God Put A Smile Upon Your Face"), it's more difficult than ever to deny the...

By Joey (reasonableman616)(noreply@blogger.com) So my eagerness for this record is at once hypocritical and revealing.

By uberchris I think the boys of Coldplay have it rough. The Daily News gave the new Coldplay CD a 2 out of 5 stars.
