Edit the history of this band

Coldplay 20 1 1

1998, 1999, the band released 500 copies of the first EP "Safety", which was recorded in Synchronization.

City "studio, recorded 500, only 50 public sales. There are three songs in it: bigger and stronger, no longer down to earth, and this ARush. To their great excitement, the album was released commercially in May around London, and Phil Harvey became their manager. But as a result, most of the EPs were sent away by friends, and some of them were used for various record companies. The EP was recorded in only four days in February. 1999. But what I got was that Debs Wild of Universal Records was very interested in their works, and he gave this EP to Parlophone.

Coldplay's performance photos (20 photos)

Dan Keeling from the record company and Caroline ellery from BMP Publishing House. So coldplay signed record contracts with both companies in the summer of 1999.

99 was a year of rapid growth for the band.

In April, the band published EP "Brothers &; After Sisters, SimonWilliams, director of London (165438+ 1998 10), watched a cool live performance in CamdenFalcon. ) Ask them to record a song for his company. After that, the band officially signed a contract with Parlophone, a brand owned by EMI. At the same time, the famous radio DJ Steve Lamarck began to play their brother &; This song in Sisters, EP climbed to No.92 on the charts. This year, NME, the most authoritative music media in Britain, began to pay attention to coldplay. NME said that this band is a young band with clear eyes and honest faces, waiting for a blockbuster.

In June, they appeared on the stage of Glastonbury, where a new band was launched, and together with Chris Allison, the producer of BETA band, they finished three works, Don't panic, See you later and Expressway. After completing their biggest test, coldplay signed a contract with Parlophone for five albums in the spring of 1999. After the last performance in Glastonbury, the band began to record their third EP "Blue Moon". By June 65438+ 10, 5,000 copies had been released, and the single Bigger Stronger was played by Radio 1 The situation was very chaotic during the recording of Blue Moon. Martin kicked Will out of the band, but later begged him to come back. Because he felt guilty, they went out for a drink and got drunk once. After that, they made a set of rules to ensure the integrity of the band. First of all, everything about the band is based on one thing: coldplay is a democratic band, and all the income is equally distributed, just like U2 and REM. Second, anyone who takes addictive drugs will be expelled from the band directly.

In June+10, 5438, Bigger and Stronger and Such a Run appeared as extra tracks in EP《The BlueRoom. After introducing EP, "NME" expressed great surprise "such a perfect debut record, much like Nick Drake, very British!"

The report in the newspaper wrote: "The singing of this band makes you infinitely immersed in fond memories of the past, and the boys in the band are as attractive as cookies on the painter's closet." Jo Whiley, DJ of "Night Channel1"who toured with Bellatrix, began to highly praise coldplay during the tour. This year, the band won a large number of fans in many important places.

On June 5438+ 10, 2000, the band and top NME bands Shack, Campag Velocet and Les Rythmes Digitales began a national tour entitled "NME Carlin Premiere". In March, the band recorded a thriller single in the "Street Fish" recording studio in Wales and Liverpool, and the B-side song was you and.

Be careful where you stand. NME called this record "Young people, mature music" and this song became their masterpiece. When they toured with the band TERRIS, it suddenly entered the top 35 of the charts. When talking about this song, Martin said, "This song is about a girl who has lost her enthusiasm for herself. She was so isolated that no one cared about her-but when the song was finished, things became strange. Girls seem to be very representative, as if discussing unrequited love-some love is unrequited love. Does she know this age-old question? I think of course she knows. So she won't be bothered by that problem. " Then, the band's song "Yellow" was completed, which completely paved the way for the success of the subsequent album.

In May, the band started filming MTV "Yellow and Trembling" with director Jools Holland.

In June, the band's single "Yellow" was released. After the performances of glastonbury festival and highlight ofthefestival on Saturday afternoon, this single ranked fourth in the UK singles chart. Regarding this song, Martin said, "This is a Welsh song, which was written in Liverpool and Wales. We were recording at that time, and the beautiful scenery there gave me infinite inspiration. I finished it on an unusually beautiful night. This song doesn't sound so fashionable and simple, but I really wrote and sang it wholeheartedly.

In July, the album was released at HMV Record Store in Oxford Street, and people lined up in the street. The band became the front page of MME, and the voice of praise swept the whole world of Coldplay. It took only a few weeks for this album to sit firmly at 1 on the British album sales list. Soon the album was nominated for the Mercury Music Award. In the same month, after several unplugged performances of Yellow and Thriller on the radio, the band finally held an unplugged concert of the whole album in Ronnie Scott's, Birmingham.

In August, AlanMcGee attacked the band that was in the limelight. He said that the band was a group of retarded people who only knew how to masturbate in bed. JONNY gave a classic answer, "It's true that we should do what we think is good. It would be sad if we just pretend to be crazy or pretend to be rock stars just to be stars. " PS: It is worth thinking about by people in our domestic circle.

In September, the Mercury Music Award was won by the boy who painted badly, and coldplay won the third prize.

On June+10, 5438, the band began its biggest tour in Britain.

Christopher Anthony John Martin's delicate and affectionate voice in 2002' s "Hot Blood" reserved the same wonderful tone as the first album "Parachute" for this new work, but they obviously spent a lot of effort on the style change. For example, the song "God hangs a smile on your face" is amazing; The warm and sleepy songs in AWhisper make people miss the Jefferson airplane very much. In addition, 1 1 songs (whether InMyPlace with strong literary flavor or Daylight in 1960s) are full of the powerful pianos and gorgeous orchestral sounds of Martin and coldplay. "Give me the truth, don't give me a fake" (give me some sincerity, I don't want to cheat) Martin sang this sentence in the first track "Politik", which quietly and appropriately showed the uncompromising position of this record. …… ..

After four Grammy Awards and four All-England Awards, two albums have accumulated 654.38+07 million worldwide, and the new album "X&; Y "came out and was once described by lead singer Christopher Anthony John Martin as:" It may never be done again. " You will know the expectation of coldplay's new album, which is the most important release of EMI this year! Christopher Anthony John Martin said: "This album is our most sincere declaration. Music shows us who we really are. None of us can be replaced by others. Johnny, Guy and Will have done more than I thought! For me, this is more important than winning a Grammy or brit awards, because I am really touched. It's good to be affirmed, but we don't make music for winning prizes. We hope to make music that will move us as soon as we hear it, because after applause, trophies or applause settle down, the music that can move people is the most important. " Christopher Anthony John Martin's consistent literary speech may be the secret weapon to capture his wife gwyneth paltrow!

In addition to its unique style, coldplay's new album will also incorporate other musical elements, such as electronic music. Coldplay took great pains to make this new album, and not only chose to record it in London, but also invited famous producers such as Danton Supple and KenNelson to make it. I'm sure coldplay will give fans a surprise this time.

The design of the album cover is very similar to a computer game Teris in 1990, and what special meaning is hidden behind it is unknown. But the most important thing is the music itself. Chris, the lead singer, is filled with infinite sadness. His moving voice sings a gentle melody, so he often feels a melancholy feeling in coldplay's songs.

Personally, I think this is a combination that can completely conquer me in music and character. They are the real idols in my life. I think, if there will be/kloc-0 100000000 geniuses in the world before the death of the earth, then they must be four of them.

Before the Chicago concert in coldplay.

After the gorgeous orchestral music faded, songs such as "The hardest part/postcard from afar" and "Death and all his friends", which were almost accompanied by the piano, showed coldplay's deep and melancholy English gentleman style, not to mention the short but exquisite and lively "Death Never Conquers" accompanied by the acoustic guitar. In a word, this song "LeftRightLeftRightLeft" perfectly and effectively recorded the wonderful moments in the concert tour of "Viva la Vida".

The title of the album comes from a painting named by a Mexican artist. This album contains 10 new songs in the studio version. Most of the songs continue the lyrical style of the band before, and there will be no too intense songs, and the band will not use the instruments of the Spanish carnival as the background. But what can be shown in the new record is the elegance and nobility of Spain since ancient times, more multicultural elements and more leisure play. It is worth mentioning that this record subverts the depressed image of British rock music in people's hearts and faces fans with an enterprising attitude. The use of a large number of electronic elements and simple and straightforward musical expressions have greatly integrated lyric into the rhythm of rock music. This record is also a work that lays a cool play style. Stylistically, the themes of death and loneliness appear repeatedly in Long Live. Martin's singing is also more realistic. He said: "Whether this is good or not, we have begun to incorporate more colors into the music. It is impossible to please everyone. Maybe no one likes what we do, but we want to do it at this moment.
