Coldplay - 42 Live

[Davy1288]

I know when I am old and have my grandkids on my lap.. they will say to me 'Grandpa, I'm so jealous that you lived in the great era that was Coldplay'. Though I do hope they get to see them as well!

[julia7591]

In my opinion,the best song of Viva la Vida or Death and all his Friends! :)

[kmishka1]

america's shame

[sarcasmmister]

wow almost been 3 years since i uploaded this! 130 000 views wow! thanks for all the comments (the ones that arent spam) and massive proportion of Likes compared to Dislikes.

can't wait to see this great band again in 2 months time!

[OlmoLane]

There are a ton of songs with weird structures, I don't know why this one gets compared to bohemian rhapsody... Queen themselves had a bunch of other weird structured songs. Any "prog" band. I'm not bashing the song, I love it, I'm just saying it's not the only song that isn't "verse chorus verse chorus bridge chorus."

[jelle4214]

it's a pity because the quality isn't that good. otherwise best video of this song :)

[cecemzbbear47]

sometimes i think will (the drummer) is about to break the drums haha lol

[skaterdude10107]

3 people must be ghost and didn't make it to heavan.

[lofotkillern]

OMG, listen to his voice, how the fuck can it be so beautiful!

[Btok92]

it's actually one of my favorite songs of all time but i dont think it would be considered that

[Btok92]

I don't know its a really good song but I wouldn't go so far as to consider it a 2nd bohemian rhapsody

[Prankcall12]

Chris martin is so tanlented

[uva1996]

Love this song, but his voice seems to be cracking..

[joyjoy70301]

THAT IS THE SICKEST GUITAR I EVER HEARD. I mean, I've been feeling them since Parachutes, but OOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMGGG­GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

[Ichvyenichalster]

entire front row= middle aged women

[diedie877]

best part at 0:00 to 4:04

[Dudisse]

Most people don't agree but I think this is their best song, it's so dark but it has a "cheery" but still dark part in it. That is so artistic, not too many musicians can bring such a peculiar feeling.

[coldplay22chris]

great :X

[alexlavsyou]

@Joevyyy haha I think you mean The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Epic movie! :D

[nathv100]

i love it!

[STEVEMOR909]

I havent liked songs like these 42, Death & All His Friends, Cemeteries Of London, Viva La Vida since the 70's albums like Styx The Grand Illusion, Floyd's Wish You Were Here, Supertramp Breakfast In America. There is a quality in the music and production that has been lacking in Rock for decades. I really love this band, I liked their other albums too (Fix You is awesome) but they progressed on Viva even though there some throwaways. But The EP Prospects March has several gems as well.

[jamest3131]

fk me live thats just brilliant

[feewert42]

42 means the 42 judges that you see when you die, its Egyptian mythology

[Glus8Master]

What is the ultimate question?

[idontknowokayyouskrs]

He's so perfect, even live.

[silmaril76]

ffuckincrackintune



[dunkelheits]

Ese disco debio llamarse 42 en lugar de Viva la Vida, definitivamente la mejor canción del álbum <3

[AlmaEnsa]

Coldplay fucking rocks!

[96728244]

Why is it called 42?

[MagnusRulerHardt]

@96728244

Because 42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything.

[TsukiyoAndAsahi]

I'm waiting for our next holiday, so i can get out of my head, it's getting crowded in here.

[Affondate]

[lucaoasis89]

coldplay's bohemian rapsody

[bohemiandaisy9]

thats a cool way of putting it...but i always thought Politik was coldplay's bohemian rhapsody.thats their masterpiece

[Southwind1989]

wut?? politik??

politik is their easiest song... (not that i dont like it.) but its definatly not their masterpiece lol..

chris said himself that he liked this song the most.

[bohemiandaisy9]

Chris' favorite song is Politik, actually.

[Southwind1989]

sure dude -.-

that was before vlv

[bohemiandaisy9]

Don't be ignorant. He said that in an interview during the Viva La Vida era. You're retarded.

If you like, I will provide you with a link.

[Southwind1989]

I would like to see that interview indeed. :)

[4815162342vlv]

@Southwind1989 viva la vida

[PhillePhillson]

Well Politik is Chris's second favourite song... according to the Oracle (at Coldplays website) who said on 4th of March 2010: The Oracle replies:

"Funny you should ask me that because after the Rio show I told Chris that Politik was the best I had ever heard them play it and it's my favourite. He replied that it was in his top two favourite Coldplay songs..."

[bohemiandaisy9]

And don't get me wrong, 42 is one of their finest songs. Especially in the melodic sense.

[ledzep129]

He said Fix You, Clocks and The Scientist were his favorite songs.

[offspringgta]

@lucaoasis89 WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?! THAT IS SOOOOOOO WIERD!!!!!!! i legit JUST WATCHED the bohemian rhapsody music video and purposely went to this song cuz i was HONESTLY gonna comment that THIS was COLDPLAY'S bohemian rhapsody. that is SOOOOOO MESSED UP!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE??????

[lucaoasis89]

@offspringgta

very strange=) or beacause it's true that this is COLDPLAY'S bohemian rhapsody....

[janecja3]

there must be something more...

[StaticSpiralsStl]

I love the riff in this

[Coldplero]

SEE YOU COLDPLAY 26/10/2010!

[RugbyLiker]

How do you know they have a conesrt in such a long time??? I need to know want to see them again

[zouz3az]

Where ?

[Coldplero]

lol yes 26/02 I made a mistake!

[hunand]

it's like it's a completly different song from 2:50...amazingggg

[RickyR21]

nice piece

[JoshBarefootMan]

Don't really like Coldplay, although I'm obliged to like this song - the title itself is simply inspiring... 42... Forty-two... The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything...

:P

[Joevyyy]

hehe, I think they are inspired by The Lifters Guide to the Galaxy. They have also a song called Don't Panic, which makes it a little more interesting :P

[cdl062319a]

best song

[ForeverImmature]

i loved seeing them in raleigh! :DDDDD

[EmilieThea]

BASS!!! <3 love this song.

[wb59]

Merci tout le monde :)

[daynemoirXxX]

great song

[travisblank84]

Some ungrateful ho is standing in the front row with her arms crossed. KICK HER OUT!!

[DrHouse4b]

lol yeah!

[wafflestuffer2]

@travisblank84 you know why? because coldplay fuckin sucks, and she's thinking to herself "maybe I should have gone to see a good band play, instead of seeing a bunch of stuck up assholes who play shitty music."

[lovecutie108]

@wafflestuffer2 then why are you watching it?

[MrGrampa5000]

@wafflestuffer2 Fuck you, you fucking blue waffle looking ass

[catsdenuk]

@travisblank84 or just kick her...either will suffice :P

[xMlLeMey]

@travisblank84 : At this moment the audience didn't know the song cause it was just after the album came out. It was a secret gig.

[buluyo]

i love cris =))

[travismeeksrocks2008]

i love ther lead guitarist he has such unique style!!

[travismeeksrocks2008]

chris martin is abolutely brilliant this band is 1 of a kind!!

[Porgicles]

Great song :)

[Camgigandetism]

I love this song, so looking forward to them performing it when I go in September :D

[inthecity33]

[franktesselaar]

[DeanMac7]

[smallvillefan123]

[TheBlargMaster]

[dinatitan2]

una de las mejores canciones de ColdPlay!!!!!!!!!!

ColdPlay the best!!!!!!!!!!!

[Arsmolina]

Began the is beutiful, because is slow

[gerdebot]

superrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[luciacaruana]

li adorooooooooooo

[yipenjanneke]

"Forty-two," said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm. ...

[arbitr2]

heheh. hitchhiker's guide reference.

anyway, great song.

[vincymon]

I'm really starting to dig that fugly looking acoustic guitar that Mr Martin uses !

[TooFresh234]

i disagree!!

viva la vida was by far the best!! it aquired the most talent, and passion, making it full of beauty and epicness.

you just watch it when they win the grammy for best rock album>!!!

[MyLuckyLilFellow321]

They will always be such an amazing band. There Viva La Vida isn't my favourite album. I think there previous albums were far much better. BUT..Viva La Vida is an O.K. album, not bad at all.

Chris is amazing. He sounds great live and much better than those other fake singers that suck like hell when performing live.

[cldply12]

Viva is great!!!!!! A Rush is and Parachutes is!!

XY mmm but still 3 tremendous albums!!

[Mefhisto1]

agree ... vlv is a great album ... but rush is better ...

[shattermuse]

I also agree, and I've been a fan since way yonder, and still AM a huge fan. Viva la vida is a different style, though, its very avante-gard (thats a good thing), probably the biggest-selling avante-garde-ish kind of album, thats for sure. Brilliant. Just not my favourite.

[SadiraLaveda77]

Rush is my favourite!! but i have to say after seeing them play Viva songs live i really love Viva too, the songs have such a great energy.. it's just amazing stuff

[juniwilliams]

i really liked rush of blood to and also parachutes. Really relaxed back den wit his high voice.

[luci225]

it's hard to see how one band can change everything like coldplay

no,I not like of all the changes,but them doing a revolution on music, maybe in coldplay world...

I realy don't liked of letters

"You thought you might be a ghost,

You didn't get to heaven but you made it close" OoooOOOoo

I think on art,like one thing they have than touch you,

this letters don't touch you

I liked more of old songs of coldplay

sorry for my english,i'm from brazil

[Yoga1978]

i'm a huge fan of coldplay, but i don't think they are the ones making innovation through their music. they do a really good job though, but they don't go over the edge like the most innovative indie band: radiohead.

that's my personal opinion.

[luci225]

I agree with you,I had written wrong...sorry

I meant,they not did the revolution in your music, this music seems to child,as i had said,this letters don't touch you,

I hope the next album be different

I like radiohead too, they are always changing for the better.

[IloveSPIDERZ]

Yeah, but even if the words don't touch you, it still legitimentally makes you keep listening because of the different beets working together and to make us figure out what the song means and where it came from. Viva la Vida for example.

[gordonbell]

By the break, you can see they're bored of it.

[lovesmulder]

ive seen them live, they are phenomenal .... could just be the crappy video on here...they come back in 6 weeks...im counting the days.  amazing.

[FluffehMonkey]

I think Coldplay actually sounds better on their CD. But in Concert, his voice sounds a little shakey. Maybe he's just nervous?

[Dewality]

I saw them live earlier this month, and it sounded the exact same, except for a few select parts on Viva La Vida. But then I've watched videos of them live, where chris martins vocals just arent quite right. Probably asthma related.

[jwilliamsproductions]

Martin nervous?? no way, not in a crowd that small, well relatively small

[sarcasmmister]

actually u would find that most performers get more nervous in front of small crowds than they do in front of larger audiences. the exact reason why i dont know but i guess its just the way our minds work

[BahLahLah]

Smaller audience is more personal. A big crowd and big shining lights distort faces. It's just a big blur. With a small audience it's people watching you. It's personal.

[vincymon]

yea.. and in a smaller audience, you're more likely to notice the one sour-puss staring intently at you who just doesn't like your music, lol.

I remember this happened to thom yorke off Radiohead once, he was performing " analyse" at some pub, and he almost messed up the intro cuz there wuz this one guy in the audience staring at him.

Look for it on youtube, you'll see what I'm talking about.

[ParanoidAmne]

Kinda normal when your voice is so high and you play the piano in the same time.

[bigjokk]

thanks for the post sarcasm

great vid , great performance

[loversinjapan3]

i love this song :'(

[bradfatler]

this video sucks sarcasm should jump in a lake

[alstagg04]

[elbreez92]
