Thank you soooo much. I love this and you for putting on this acoustic version....love Acoustic Chris. Can you by chance provide a link for us to download it to Mp3...please.
@henrix1989 ,the tuning is e a b g b d#.the d is dropped to b an the small e dropped to d#.not sure bout the chords,i got the official tab book so im following tab.check out universe tabs,they may have it.
I like the songs Viva La Vida and Shiver the most of Coldplay. The falsetto part: "that you always get your way" sound very nice, especially in the studio version.
Guys Viva la Vida is an awesome album please stop saying coldplay have lost their shine they've just grown up.........Martin's voice is fresh as ever,Will's drums never stop fascinating me,Jonny and Guy peaking they will come off better than ever...Thank you!
Fantastic performance this - anyone who derides Coldplay seems to forget that Mr Martin has a sublime voice . . . and his falsetto's gotten even stronger as his voice has matured fully (it doesn't until you're about 24/25 - he's about 22 here)
@scoopztb Ohh! Ok. I think Viva La Vida etc. cause that's the first album I've bought and Violet Hill is the single how I'm turning into a humasive fan! :D
nah, i agree that they were definitely making music that more people liked then (and arguably was better). doesn't mean they're rubbish now; they can't make the same music for 10 years... anyway, guy looks happy (probably cos he's got something 'challenging' to play :P)
Back then it sounded much more innocent, as if he were singing to the love of his life, and was scared out of his mind. He sounded very vulnerable. Now he sounds like he rules the world and he knows it. His voice is filled with confidence and he changes up the lyrics a lot. I'm not necessarily saying that I prefer how he used to sound, but I sure do enjoy it.
Come on guys I know music is subjective but seriously I can't even think of one aspect of Coldplay that is better than radiohead. Radiohead's level of musicianship is on a different level. If u asked Chris Martin himself he would agree. The amount of times he's praised radiohead is ridiculous. He said he'd give one of his testicles to write a song like paranoid android. He also said we're (coldplay) a diet drink and radiohead is the normal drink (thus a weaker version). I still love coldplay ha
I can't ever remember Chris Martin saying he would give one of his testicles to write a song like Paranoid Android, and I've only heard one or two radioshow hosts saying that Coldplay is Radiohead-Light, not that any of the band members ever said that. Radiohead is in a completely different lead anyway, Coldplay got some influences from them, especially the singing, but, c'mon, they've nearly lost all heir similarities from the start.
As I said music is subjective. it's only my opinion that Radiohead is better but yes chris did actually say that it's in an interview where he talks about major influences on his music. Believe it or not i really like coldplay their new album is great. But i honestly cant see how u can listen to ok computer and then any coldplay album and not see that radiohead are on another level. It's like comparing Mozart to Haydn his music is just better. but once again its all subjective lol
i dont think they are a weaker version, just better for you like diet drinks, i imagine you are a fat cunt and just sloth about all day listening to radiohead wishing you were dead.
Someone said that Coldplay take you to a more emotional place than radiohead - are you f***ing serious. Listen to Let Down or all of Ok Computer why you're at it and then come back to me.
i completely agree.. i am a fan of both bands, but radiohead strikes me as more authentic for some reason. coldplay is sort of like a bubblegum version of them.. but still really good. this particular song actually sounds a lot like the stuff on pablo honey and the bends. let down is a great track.. especially the third verse.
radiohead are good, but i find that on all of there albums they have 1 or 2 good songs and all the rest just suck. where as coldplay are just fricking amazing with every song they've ever written. i will always love coldplay a trillion times more than radiohead
first, viva la vida is not bullshit. i dont consider the song there best ever like a ton of people do, but the album is amazing. and yeah chris's voice isnt quite as good. but its been almost 10 years. thats what happens.
Even though his voice isn't as good as it was it is much better than most singers today. You cannot listen to many radiohead songs at a time, your head just aches after sometime.coldplay one can go for hours without any problem.
Their early stuff sounded a lot like Radiohead, but I think Coldplay have moved on from the Radiohead comparisons. Compare with "Viva La Vida". Doesn't sound remotely Radiohead to me.
hey!!..si todavia escriben buenas canciones!!! son muy buenos en realidad! para mi siempre.. fueron, son y seran la mejor banda del mundo... claro... chris tiene la voz mas hermosa q eh escuchado en mi vida
omg Radiohead takes you to the scary darkside of that wackos mind... not saying i dont like it , but Coldplay is inspirational and pushes you in the right direction :) Chris is so dreamy
i would rather listen to chris speak than radiohead, lol joke, i do like radiohead tbh, in rainbows is a great album along with the classics but they lack the soul that coldplay have, yes i know what your gonna say "so do radiohead" but its different, coldplay connect with emotions deep inside my soul that no other band can come close to
well, you're an idiot. In what sense are they better? Songs? Nope, Radiohead's better. Frontman's voice? Nope, Thom Yorke blows this guy out of the water.
