Secrets of Viva la Vida - Coldplay Exclusive

[FmlyFrc5fan2730]

I just want to hug Chris! =)

[RockMafia1998]

'everything's not lost'

'isn't it?'

love chris.

[FeMace4]

I completely agree, Politik is their best 3 for sure !

[mollycoldplayolly]

Whos handwriting is that on the whiteboard? It's pretty bad xD I love you, Chris <3

[acww123789]

Stroumboulopoulos - must of took awhile to remember that last name

[KNjOWEnterprises]

One of the Most...... WHAT???? WHAT????!!!!!

[IKimdraculaI]

He forgot A Rush Of Blood To The Head...

[ECR100ECR]

Interviewer: "the scientist?"

Chris: "good"

wtf?!?!

[lovenatureprotectit]

i am learning alot from the comments :)

[AtCholicious]

There's nothing wrong with 'Morning Sign'...

It's my alarming song...

[SSJDrummer9]

@AtCholicious Lol, I'm pretty sure the song is entitled "Warning Sign."

[Galopino1994]

Now, Whisper is my favorite song from coldplay :D

[imaalin]

What about 'a rush of blood to the head'? my fav, I think

[loss7y]

i wonder why he thinks or seems to think so low of his songs that to me have amazing meaning, and personally got me out of some of the hardest times my life. i guess u dont realise how amazing your creation is from someone elses perspective

[dylanthechameleon]

I like The Scientist, Clocks and Every Teardrop is A Waterfall. But then again, they have never made a bad song.

[dylanthechameleon]

He's so cute! I love him.

[AlexanderMazarakis]

It seems he is less obsessed with his older songs then most of his fans.

[labbern]

Politik! They're best ever and ever!

[14brad]

I hope Coldplay knows that Parachutes and A Rush of Blood to the Head are pure gold to a lot of fans out there.

[AlexanderMazarakis]

Its amazig how littile he thinks about such incredible songs he writes.

[canadianbiz]

yay fix you. definitely my favorite also.

[MrBaribass]

its funny how the first half of this video is in mono then for like 45 seconds its in stereo. lol



[naterv11]

wtf why is there a 52 minute ad on this video? o.O

[MsStrawberryfields1]

Wow...Warning Sign was the song that got me seriously into Coldplay

[MaggotIam]

@MsStrawberryfields1 it's our song (me and my gf) and I think it is fantastic. The synth, intro, outro, verse and chorus are just perfect!

[MsStrawberryfields1]

@MaggotIam I agree...I don't think it's boring at all :)



[GNRJunkie1]

"I don't remember it"

LMFAO LIARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[cacman1993]

Clocks "our first ring tone" hahahaha

[jessychickin]

"Isn't it?" LOL! <3

[flearis]

I bet the interviewer (who's doing a great job) felt soo good after Chris his compliment! Who wouldn't!

[vargmz]

the interviewer is so cool, lol.

[TheMinersCast]

clocks is one of my favs lol

[nikolokendo]

thats joe satriani's song

[HotSpicyTasteGreat]

The only thing simular about spires and radiohead is the very high pitch chorus and the percussion... dont see the other rip offs at all

[moondust99999]

i like how when he lists his top 3 favorites, he lists 4 songs.

[ledzepfolife]

Hmm.... I like Fix You but i don't like Politik at all and I don't really care for Yellow. Anyone else agree?

[debestciannel]

@ledzepfolife

Since I view this interview I started listening to Politik with more attention and I figured out that is a really deep and powerful song! :-D But of course everyone has his on favourite track even Chris himself! :-D I really love their first 2 albums by the way!

[LiamGentile]

@ledzepfolife nope

[MrNinja290]

keep pressin 2 it sounds like he is saying save the salt

[dbaerg]

Two amazingly smart human beings speaking to eachother...I'm amazed the camera didn't implode from the awesome in the room.

[Nevigo]

He is married to Gwyneth Palthrow that lucky dog.

[1910anahi1979]

@Nevigo haha thats what i said!!!!!!!!!!1

[primitive7]

He Is Just Amazing Love everything about him!

[unclesamfatg]

joe satriani

[teipoi]

Great when he mentiones the top-3 his favorite songs, and there's fix you and yellow, my ultimate favorites too from Coldplay!

[stargirl76ab]

chris is killing coldplay! "terrible, boring..." at least he is modest :)

[Jocole31]

"You gotta bore people sometimes" :D

[RadioElephant]

Ahh, Yellow is my favorite song ever in the world of Earth. :D

[NickTorrance237]

That's awesome to hear Chris talk about MetallicA. Fuck yeah!! I love both bands so much.

[pinksynth]

"One of our longest titles." Hahahaha, perfect.

[Joeltaa347]

Hey this guy has a great sense of humor, I definitly don't agree with his view of his songs. Amsterdam is very good, also Warning Sign, I think I apreciate the songs more than he does.

[deakidj1]

@Joeltaa347 hes just being modest, and thank god too. can you imagine him being all cocky and stuck up, it would ruin coldplays vibe

[Joeltaa347]

@deakidj1 i would have to say that this interview is not so interesting

[spartanassain]

Haha it's so weird to see the tracklisting of Viva la Vida on the whiteboard in the background, back when the album wasn't even out

[bamboochafreak]

@spartanassain it isn't the tracklist of Viva la vida because clocks, low and what if are from a rush of blood to the head.

[ulquiorraaurora96]

coldplay is the best band ever made thair song strawberry swing is the best song ever made and chris marting is a god and hes amaizing

[airborne360]

"Clocks"

"er...our first ringtone"

Haha! Oh man, it was my first ever polyphonic ringtone, woo!

[MrBollemus]

Viva LAvida is a Remix of Liquid Seed's Three Lion's on the Shirt. i just love singing that song on top of viva lavida and its so FKN Beautiful. Ya all Should Try it and i hope Coldplay makes the remix one day, cuz its the same tune.

[Aros777]

We Never Change Amazing Chris Martin!

[MrBollemus]

@Aros777 The Secret of Viva Lavida is that its a remix of Liquid Seed's Three Lion's on the shirt. And Im a Musical Genius

[14brad]

@Aros777 Seriouslyyyy man

[fuckyeahbonjovi]

what a cool guy !

[uva2323]

THE SECRET IS COPYWRITING MUSIC FROM OTHER ARTISTS!

[Aros777]

@uva2323 Hahaha Go Fuc* YourSelf You Dumbass :D

[coldplayerau]

everythings not lost isnt it? lol him in my place yeah! wat he dunt know them of by heart look at me yeah amsterdamn fix me!

[uva2323]

@ilaydacoldplayer shut up, satriani is one of the greatest guitar 0player and coldplay is just a bunch of "musicians" who copy other peoples music

[SquallML]

@uva2323 No no.

[tanbobman5]

he left out a rush of blood to the head

[18PacWest]

Wait a second, Coldplay's Viva la Vida sounds very similar to I'm Fed up from 2003 performed by an artist who became famous with the bestseller from 2000.

[danielrules1997]

@18PacWest the beggining thune is but the rest is very different

[DjWuzHear]

@18PacWest and viva la vida sounds similar to katie perrys firework so what?

[Linqoon]

@DjWuzHear Tell me you did not just say that.

[JAD3889]

@18PacWest it has the same chord progression but little else.

[RockMafia1998]

@18PacWest wait. what?

[backintoyouropenarms]

Warning Sign is my favourite song ever. It's a shame that Chris doesn't really like it.

[Asger17]

@backintoyouropenarms I really don't think you should take what he says about the song seriously, it's more a kind of self-ironi thing. Remember, that every song on on all four albums, is wisely picked out, for an example, only 13 songs came on Viva la Vida, even they had made around 30 at the time. 

[learn2beRandom101]

thumbs up if you love chris's jacket

[Algorithm16]

I LOVE Chris Martin, and he is so awesome in this interview! What a chill, funny, intelligent guy, with tons of talent to boot.

[HermiOdleProduction5]

Phil? 5th member of Coldplay

[rg1199]

@HermiOdleProduction5 Their manager

[austrodrums]

Chris Martin got up in 1 million points. Fix You, Politik, Yellow.. the 3 Coldplay songs i cant hear endlessly.. Seems like a great guy..

[zetsuumbreon]

who is joe satriani?

[amplio32]

@zetsuumbreon the best player of guitar in this world¡¡¡¡

[mommamikki]

he is a very skilled well really the best guitarist ever he rocks

[sachicknell]

I love warning sign!

[diesechspfade]

i want that jacket!

[Marusya1995]

omg i love chris martin he is amazing

[drawingshadows]

Spies trying to rip off Radiohead? I guess they are kinda similar

[AmbionCatalyst]

i like white shadows, viva la vida, and speed of sound are the top 3 (but i guess chris is kind of right, considering he sings the songs)

[moulee01]

Ouch. Warning Sign is NOT not interesting at all! Am I the only one that loves that song? That hurt just a little Chris.. but at least you said you'll be playing it more often.

[SensationalSensFan]

@moulee01

To answer your question.....No you are not the only one who LOVES LOVES LOVES Warning Sign.

It is one of my most favorite songs of all time!!

[McMingDynasty]

fuck

[mcontro93]

the title is secrets of "viva la vida", but they didnt talk about that album in the whole video, did i miss a part?

[zanpi2778]

warning sign is one of my fav..

[CalebTheGuitarist]

the audio in this is bogus

[KKOPPI]

it turns to awesome audio quality

[lowco23]

so modest

[nickygou32]

chris knows warning sign is nasssstyyyyy thats why there gonna or they better start playing it again hahahaha!!!

[skiergirl67]

George, you give good interview!

[somaly123]

ya i agreee

[xLoneGalaxyx]

They missed A Rush of Blood to the Head. :(

[karenkaren15]

I think I agree with him that Politik is one of their top 3. Or close to, anyway:)

[huckleberryluvable]

i kno rite! chris is hilarious!

[missiskomissar]

everything's not lost?-isn't it? :D

[Shankuverymuch]

clocks and viva la Vida are my favs

[Commonkid50]

same

[Booooooooooooook]

A Whisper is awesome!!! the last 3 chords are soooo awesome together

[beastswimmer101]

all of coldplay's songs are beyond amazing

[deeman1984]

@beastswimmer101 I agree 100%!!

[uva2323]

@beastswimmer101 steling other peoples music is beyond amazing, thats intresting...

[andzikkk]

He is sooo coool!!!

[solomontomb]

Fix You and Yellow are great songs!!

[anna02031986]

i just love him!! I saw them in Dublin..and we were able to get so close to them..when he played The hardest part..my heart just melted!

[latino7630]

is he stone or what ?... look at his eyes....!

[Ak47vsColt]

best song they have is "The Scientist"

[coolspitfire]

it was one of there best song but not the best

[0o0ocoldplay0o0o]

what happened to X&Y

[R0gue01]

haha I love Don't Panic

[Osealey]

Any of you guys get the feeling that chris looks uncmfortable during interviews? He looks like he really doesnt want to be there but he's getting paid shit loads to do an interview and his entourage/agent has booked this interview against his wishes.

[AntonyTH]

I think thats called being modest :)

He doesnt have that celebrity feeling I think, and doesnt feel like the rest of Hollywood.

Coldplay stayed themselfes. For example, in every concert they say a special thank you to the people in the back of the crowd, every time they thank the fans, and now they even give out thousands of free cd's at the concerts. I mean, Theyre the best, and they dont brag about it! :)

[LukeJ60]

hehe thats why u gotta love him!!

[Hilary112]

"God Put A Smile Upon Your Faaace.." "One of our longest titles" hahah :'DD

[PalpatineLeia]

"Warning sign?"

"Not so intresting"

Warning sign is one of my favorite songs ever!!!

[Tangibleapparition]

he also said that it bores people,but i do not agree :)

[TLStorgaard]

"Everyting not lost?"

"Isn't it?"

"Clocks?"

"our first ring tone"

[guitarhero114]

im glad my last name isnt stroumboulopoulos.

[iluvrock92]

lol, "he went crackers" that's cute, but i didn't really hear wut he said about viva la vida, in fact i didn't hear it at all, i want to know the meaning of it

[crazysquirrel868]

pause at 4:18 look at his face LOL!

[julia7591]

I'm so happy that Fix You is in the Chris's top three because it is my favourite song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DeSmurfen125]

'Amsterdam?? Great City' Thnks Chris!! Holland Loves you!!

[freaxproduction]

YAY! they are playing warning sign! And wow the tops are- some of my favorites.

[Jakobsen111]

Lol, he has 4 songs in his top 3 :)

[FinalCut6]

I love that fact though :D

[lacrossegirlbucket]

I love how Chris likes yellow, fix you and politik they are in my top as well. And Joe really needs to get a life b.c. He should hace said something and not wait months before trying to blame them for "stealing" a song!!

[MyrtheHeleneE]

And if they have stolen it..

THE SONG IS STILL GREAT (:

[rockpink2224]

what movie are they talking about? p.s. i LOVE chris martin!!!

[creepinoutsara]

the secrets are they steal other bands music ;o

[jdf1991]

when george is asking chris the track by track thing, he never asked what chris thought of the track "a rush of blood to the head" <- one of my fav coldplay tracks

[LikeIToldYouBoy]

Coldplays biggest trick is no secret - the amazing ablility to plagarize other artists for their "songs".

[softsoc32]

I love Fix You.

Amazing.

and I love that it is not poetic. And it's still beautiful.

[Quorxnog]

Songs are poetry.

[softsoc32]

agreed.

[ferardforever]

Colcks.... Our first ring tone XD

hhahahahahhhahahah omg Chris hahah!

[wizkidb3n]

omg!! lov coldplay:)

[lilygrossi]

On December 4, 2008 Satriani filed a copyright infringement suit in Los Angeles federal court

against Coldplay, claiming the Coldplay song "Viva la Vida" includes

"substantial original portions"

of the Satriani song "If I Could Fly" from his 2004 album, Is There Love in Space?. The Coldplay song in question received two Grammy Awards for "Song of the Year".

Coldplay has denied the allegation, which has resulted in further legal action from Satriani

[lilygrossi]

Guitar legend JOE SATRIANI is already suing the band, claiming Viva La Vida contains "substantial original portions" of his 2004 song If I Could Fly.

[DanTheNextSpielberg]

Joe Satriani is a joke

[uva2323]

@DanTheNextSpielberg shut the fuck up you big assole, joe satriani is on of the most amazing guitar players ever so if dont know anything about music or guitar shut the fuck up.

[AnberlinFtwwwBLAT]

@uva2323 Shut the fuck up dumfk you better learn something for good and one is that coldplay is one of the best bands don't trash them second you better shut the fuck up gay you try to shut everyone up if you don't like opinions don't come here you can say your opinion but telling people to shut up makes you a faggot asshole get some balls so I can break them for you faggot

[captaintuna]

@DanTheNextSpielberg joe satriani just did what he felt was right. at the end of the day if someone rips off your song ur going to want to seek damages. i have total respect for both colplay and satriani and love both their music. but chris has even listed the songs which were 'ripped off' from other artists.

[lilygrossi]

COLDPLAY better look out at the weekends Grammys.

JOE SATRIANI, the man suing them for plagiarism, has employed a legal team to serve papers on the lads.

He claims CHRIS MARTINs lot nicked the melody from his song If I Could Fly to form the basis of Viva La Vida.

[Kermaleena]

Who knows...

[gogolplex74]

Why isn't there x&y and VLV?

[Dafirey]

Prob, ran out of time. Can't have it all.

[ecrocksmysocks]

damn i'm glad he said politik is their best ever song

because it for sure is

[ecrocksmysocks]

joe satriani can lick my balls

[Dafirey]

My favorite part in this vid is 0:40

"Everything is not lost?"

"Isn't it?!?!?!"

[coldplayisawesome]

his facial expression makes it better. XD

[gogolplex74]

Oh why is chris always so funny?

[Dafirey]

It's because its Chris what do you expect? :)
