In context, U2 have released 14 albums (46 years), Aerosmith 15 albums (52 years) … but their career has been twice as long. 20 years with 8 albums, and 2 great songs on each album is exceptional. With over 100 million albums sold worldwide, Coldplay are the most successful band of the 21st century and one of the best-selling music acts of all time.

I adore Chris. In so many ways the Interviewer tries to put him & the band into this reality and to create the pressure of:"If everyone are like that, so you guys should be." ... which is creating wrongness, when there is no right or wrong, just difference...I love how Chris is talking from his heart, without bariers, just kindness and listening his knowing, total oneness & so much to learn.... that's why you guys are beyond everything. So much love & gratitude for you choosing to go beyond what you should be and tapping into your uniqueness. 💜 Blessings 🙏 btw. it is beautiful to hear Chris being vulnerable.

What a lovely, spiritual, creative, self effacing person Chris Martin comes across as

Chris Martin always gives the impression to be very thoughtful, generous and open. I admire him for being so kind, especially in the times we have right now. I think that the people who are able to show this level of kindness and humility are often the ones who have so much talent and did put so much in their achievements that they do not have to prove anything to anyone. That he also lets us see some of his vulnerability is also very endearing and makes him very likable and relatable. I have lost two very dear and special people and feel that my grief made me even more open to other people who have come through any other crisis. I feel maybe his sensibility and warmth (in German it is "warmheartedness") and the events that happened to him through his life made him so very empathetic.

Chris is usually able to get a chuckle out of interviewers too and create a very relaxed atmosphere but this interviewer just could not get in sync. Looking at his notepad a lot, etc. Chris came across as the professional, this interviewer seemed like he couldn’t keep up. Questions sort of all over the place too. Gotta love Chris.

LOL “low rate of productivity” releasing 8 incredible albums in 20 years? I can’t think of many other bands that have done what they’ve done in terms of the success of their albums. Their albums aren’t just music - they’re universes that the band creates.

they have actually released 9 studio albums. Altho album number 7 and 9 werent quite so great, not my cuppa tea anyway. Im proud to say ive been a massive fan of theirs since the first time i heard them in late 1999.

Never knew I had a similar experience as Chris. In my youth as a young woman other classmates kept believing in a bullying fashion that I was a lesbian simply because in High School my Father was trying to be cheap and forced my sibling and I into yardwork labor prior to school. We rarely had to opportunity to change our clothes before school. We often wore big, masculine shirts with sleeves for the job and other students kept shouting at me that I must be gay. I was taught not to say anything when folks jeer so I didn't... and the chants caused me to fall into a deep depression. Never had any interest in other females, I knew in my heart of hearts I wasn't gay. It was only until I went to university, and dressed more feminine, I felt sorta like myself. I rekindled my friendship with a boy pal from Highschool then we got married years later. I'm still shaken from the taunting I recieved.... I can't imagine how it feels to be truly in the queer community though I hope it's better for individuals now. It's awesome Chris embraced that... Coldplay used to be bullied with films like "40 year old Virgin" saying to the audience, 'you're gay if you like Coldplay' and now with their 9th album they wrote, "People of the Pride". It's a pretty clever way to improve on past hurts in my opinion. To use mockery now to empower the people in that group. Great interview, I had no idea Chris and I had that connection of being accused of being attracted to the same sex when in actuality that wasn't the case.

Seth Rogan is a low talent actor and writer so his script saying you're gay is quite laughable while realizing how much he sucks as a Hollywood worker

“Low rate of productivity” you can notice how chris and coldplay focus on the feelings, making feel love, happiness, throught their songs, while other just focus on making more songs, selling more albums, making more money… You can see the difference between both personalities, Chris is a happy person trying to transmit happiness while the other one is just focus on the ego and being more succesfull, more famous, and so on……

Hate that he's questioned as to why "productivity is low". Gross way to look at the creative process but that's the "business" of music i guess

X&Y is probably my favorite Coldplay album! It's so funny to hear such self criticism.

He is amazing🥰

Glad I missed this man's other interviews....so glad.

Yellow is still a raw track that was perfect when it was first played, as it still is, it was the birth of a band with equal appeal, uniqness, and musicality as the beatles or the rolling stones fronted by an intelligent, erudite guy who doesn't have the ego that comes with the job, yet remains a strong front man. Music appeal globally is extraordinary....

"There's an anger in you"??? Oh my gosh, thank goodness Chris spoke up for himself. Anger? Couldn't the guy have said "a fire in you" that would have been a compliment. "Fire" = a motivating drive in your soul. Chris is so humble. I recently fulfilled something on my bucket list. Flew from the coast of SC to LA to hear them at the Rose Bowl 🌹 sweet memories forever

X&Y is my favourite Coldplay Album and in my book it was “right”.

I think Chris is a true artist and is devoted to his artistic heart. It is so rare and so beautiful. I hope he can preserve it but so far he has. We are all so grateful. I am a little bothered by some interviewers that are quizically looking into the petrie dish. I wonder if its like what Van Gogh experienced.

Love the song Yellow by Coldplay. Look how huge this song has become! Keep going Coldplay! You are the brightest shining 🌟s ! IL 💛💛💛

Their Everday Life album is a masterpiece. Coloratura off MOTS is a masterpiece..All their albums have several brilliant songs and make you feel deeply Extremely rare for an artist. Chris is a musical genius and lovely soul.

Chris is wonderful, always has something to say that is worth listening to and is very humble with it - This interviewer is terrible...rude, interrupts and assumes the answers to questions before Chris is even given the chance to answer....ask a question and let the man speak ffs

Rolling Stone criticized Yellow? Bwahahahah. That did not age well.

24:05. You are correct Chris. God is everything and everything is God because God created everything. John 1: 3kjv "All things were made by him and without him was not anything made that was made". Ps. 82:6. "Ye are gods. And all of you children of the most high" There's so much in the bible to tell us that God is in everything, everyone and everywhere. Religion most times complicates the simplicity of this understanding but when you get the revelation, like Chris does, it's liberating. And the revelation doesn't always come from within a church building. God speaks with anything and everything. Living and non-living. So yes, Chris, you are correct.

Michael Jackson used to say the same thing when asked where or how he writes/creates music - saying it comes naturally and that he's only being used to allow that gift to make its way through. Such a beautiful thing! ✨

Jann Wenner! The founder of rolling stone. He conducted the legendary 1970 interview with Lennon. The guy has seen a lottt

Brilliant

Rolling Stone also said Led Zeppelins first album was garbage…goes to show you the critics really don’t mean S#:T

This interviewer was kinda combative no?

Perfect

Poor Chris…

"The interviewer might not get it...?" That happens to be JANN WENNER the "Founder" of Rolling Stone!

🙂

The thing about gay thing part - Chris is a Pisces and naturally Pisces has a feminine energy inside them so for the man, it can be weird to find masculine energy within themselves, specially in this world how man is perceived by others and how "should" act in certain situations. If any Pisces man understand own energy and accept as it is, will never sabotage himself regardless of who is around. Acceptance of your own energy is the key and Pisces are caring kindness beings - just accept it!

name of interviewer ? had to dig for it,,,

Something about how this interviewer asked questions (and the questions he asked) rubs me the wrong way.

15:47. C "That's what I was told to do" "By who?" It's God speaking to you through his Spirit Chris. It's the Spirit of God inside of man, directing man. 1 Corinthians 2:10. "God had revealed them to us by his Spirit....Vs 14. The natural man receiveth not these things cause they are foolishness to him..." So putting out a double album when everyone is putting out singles might seem foolish but your choice to do as you were instructed by the Spirit is how you walk in the Spirit as directed by God. The bible and living by the Spirit of God is really more practical that religion would have us believe but honestly, the word of God is true and the Spirit of God is life.
