Coldplay - Gnossienne No. 1 (Antwerp 4-10-08)

[ILoveMagic15]

i love coldplay even more when i see that they are also open to this kind of music. i love both satie and coldplay

[captainkundalini1]

Good God the hopeless middle class inspirationalists have finally landed..Thank you Mr. Martin. we are so impressed and blessed with your need to share your idiot impersonations.....Yes might have a role for you.....You never know ..It all comes round again. I am so disappointed in Brian Eno right now. Never thought he'd sell his talent so cheaply.

[Kristopful]

I like all versions of this magical piece by "Erik Satie"...this version is brief & distorted..so its hard to judge it.

I got to give Coldplay 5* for even trying to play this piece, which is a technical nightmare. For those who judge this as an "abomination"..realise it will lead many to hear the original. STFU snobs.!

[telmopaz]

As we can see in this video, it´s easy to play the notes of this piece. Destroying its magic is even easier .

[Dunderhead36]

is this recorded with a butt?!?!

[LazyDancerKar]

He's going to exterminate me. Oh my.

[LazyDancerKar]

This is a video. Oh my.

[LazyDancerKar]

Coldplay.

[sofiap5]

I am a huge fan of coldplay and also of classical music, and I have just started listening to satie's Gnossiennes, which i LOVE, Now i've found this video and I can believe thissss! It's so great that he actually has played this beautiful piece on one of the shows !!

[GhenaDimitrova]

L'ha uccisa praticamente .. con tutto il rispetto per i cold play , che mi piacciono non poco .. cioè quelli di ora mi fanno a dir poco cagare... ma i primi tre album sono pazzeschi !!!

[cosmiclight]

Cold Play impressed me the first time I saw and discovered who they were as I record the Grammy's every year. Of course we shold all realize that great musicians have borrowed greratly from the classics. Have you listened to The Beatles [Paul McCartney's] Elenor Rigby lately? Then listen to Mozart's K516-1 Mozart String quintet in G minor movt 1. Although a little different tempo, you get the idea. See Elonor Rigby in Wiki. Read it all. Then read Greek Dorian Mode in Wiki. What a lesson!

[deadeaded]

love coldplay, love Satie, but the two should never be mixed imho

[NicoleCarmela3]

Guys, give them a break. You're being ridiculous. Honestly, Coldplay is a great band.

[Yeronimus77]

I Love Satie ! (and Coldplay as well : )

[AshForte]

rofl, coldplay isn't good enough to properly emulate the emotion in satie's pieces

stupid "covers"; why not make your own minimalist piece, you silly band?

[JohnEBPiano]

You know, Satie didn't put "You must be atleast THIS good to play my pieces" in any of his manuscripts, stop being so stuck up. You give a bad name to classical music fans, the snooty ones that boil inside when something mainstream uses classical music. Who cares if it's not a polished performance? A rockstar just played a little bit of Satie to a packed audience, introducing the music to them. Also, "covers"? Haha, do you get upset when the Berlin phil. "covers" Mozart?

[AshForte]

you know, satie didn't even consider himself that skilled at music anyway, which is why he called himself a gymnopedist and not a musician

on the contrary, classical music emulated by other groups and genres is perfectly acceptable to pretty much anyone, but i mean, if it sucks, it sucks; it doesn't matter who is playing it if it sucks

and it just so happens that coldplay sucks, so

[wanchope619]

@AshForte asi apesta el culo de tu mama pendejo! :D

[wikieditspam]

@JohnEBPiano It's a bit like Jimmy Page lapsing into J.S. Bach during his solo at "How the West was Won".

[xXBl4ckCr4y0nXx]

@AshForte They are just as whorthy to play Satie's pieces as anyone else is on this petty earth.

[lodown200]

my gosh...

that sucked.

a bit stupid.

what's he sayin' at the end of that cut?

[dounehazza]

tristissimo. Satie maltrattato da uno scalzacani.

[ithzor]

I love coldplay, but this was just bad =/

[HelloMyNameIsCharli]

TRACK 10.

[sarahxboxbeara]

agreed

[nicolecarmela333]

shut up.

[ali94h]

Chris does not play it badly! He plays nothing badly! So shut your mouth!

[pianoorganman]

That Was Bad

[DofGreengables88]

Your all fucking morons.

[misredkimmy]

I applaud the effort.  The sound quality in the stadium probably doesn't give him justice. But you can feel he loves it too.

[animatetime]

Utter shit. Trust a band like Coldplay to murder it.

[lilworkerb]

Takes a great player to learn that song

[batterseaspark]

a shite version, stick to pop.

[SarahNDittmann]

it's wonderful in "The painted veil" ...

[tafrescolei]

Stupid version. And very wrong.

[yellohcard]

great video. what was on Chris' head?

[LeStefano8]

I think it was just a towel or something :)

[lcma23]

This piece is called "Gnossienne no. 1". Is form a french composer called Erik Satie (1866 - 1925).
