    I've said multiple times that Jon Buckland is such an underrated player. Not because his guitar parts are crazy tech or difficult, but because they complement Chris voice, the piano, or the general music really really well. It's like he knows when to make his input and every time is flawless.

    Johnny Buckland plays amazingly simple lyrical lines to compliment the songs. A bit like a latter day Edge, he uses his guitar as an instrument within the song and not specifically as an up front "look at me, I'm the guitarist, watch me solo" type of musician. I love plenty of the guitar heroes but also appreciate the style of people like Buckland, Edge, Will Sargeant (Echo & The Bunnymen), Ed O'Brien (Radiohead) and of course Johnny Marr from The Smiths. In 40 years of playing, I've moved from wanting to be the lead guitarist to wanting to create melodies and songs with the instrument I am best at playing - the guitar - together with other musicians. The musicianship of Coldplay and a lot of bands gets ignored because they do not have some virtuoso on guitar that is worshipped by guitarists. That seems a pity as the whole is bigger than the parts. I guess that's what makes a great band imho :)

    For me it's always been about the songwriting and serving the song. Not to say that speedy/ flashy soloers can't complement or enhance an already fine song. But it certainly is a breath of fresh air to hear guitarists who play like Kevin Shields, Joey Santiago, Mayer, Marr and the like that create a direct impact to highlighting the songwriting aspect instead of calling attention to themselves just for the sake of it.

    The first Coldplay song I remember hearing is “Yellow”. Those bending chords in the intro/turnarounds still amaze me. I rip Johnny off when I play two note chords in the style of the chorus just on the B and E string without the root. It’s such a great trick to give a song a different taste… especially when playing in a big band.

    Ive always be a fan of Coldplay since I first heard them on the radio in the mid 00s. Ghost Stories is on of my all time favorite albums. Critics and listeners bashed it saying it was boring and mellow but sometimes not everything has to he upbeat, popy and electric. Chris Martin was going through a very sentimental time and thanks to that he gave us a very beautiful, astral, toned down album. Sometimes more is less. Sometimes in life we need that mellowness, thats slow paced music without the crazy guitar solos. Just to sit down and listen and feel the emotion and Coldplay did it exceptionally well. The guitars and tones made me feel like I was drifting in space, the sounds put me in my imagination, which in my book is what makes artists great at their craft and for that Coldplay is a 10/10

    The bands that originally caught me off guard when doing casual listening were Quicksilver (John Cipollina) and Fleetwood Mac (first Peter Green, then Lindsey Buckingham). No matter the genre they were immersed in, they could come up with melodic variations and unusual timings that would catch your attention. Once you have been caught out a few times, you are sort of trained to listen for subversive hooks in changes in melody, etc. Then somewhere along the way, you listen to Osibisa and the rhythms and melodic structures vary even more. All a journey.

I had just bought a large flat screen LCD TV after saving many pizza job paychecks. As soon as my parents left, I turned on the TV and Coldplay was jamming out Clocks on Austin City Limits. It was very comforting for some reason and I've been hooked on their sound ever since.

    The first Coldplay song I listened to was actually Hymn for the Weekend back in 2016 as well (got massive publicity in India for obvious reasons). I loved Guy Berryman's bassline there (a point where I was just getting into playing the bass) and then I dived into their catalogue, starting with A Head Full of Dreams. That album, especially Up&Up and Adventure of a Lifetime, were crucial in my (both harmonic and technical) development as a guitarist (I'd been trained in Hindustani classical at a young age, so a lot of the knowledge transferred over onto guitar, it was like redoscovering an old treasure all over again). Of course later on learned that Noel played Up&Up (Oasis's catalogue has been super influential for me too). Coldplay are musically a very well accomplished band, and even though I hopd Parachutes very very dear to my heart, and haven't been quite enjoying their newer endeavours (My Universe off their newest album is a bop tho), I've always had a massive respect for them as they chose to change their sonic palate in every subsequent album.

    I always liked a bunch of Coldplay's music, the first song I heard from them when I was a kid was Viva La Vida back when it first came out back in 2008-09 and that song has always had a special place for me, I've always loved the instrumentation in that song but the song that really blew me away from them was Shiver. I remember first hearing that song back when I played Guitar Hero: World Tour (which was one of my favourite games when I was younger, and still to one of my favourites) and the fuzzed-out guitar tone that Johnny Buckland got is still absolutely awesome. Definitely a criminally underrated player imo

We were coming out of a post Britpop slump so there was a bit of a gap to fill as I remember. I've never really understood the hate, I just think they became too big for the 'cool police' to accept them. Songs like The Scientist and Violet Hill, to me, are incredible compositions. Buckland had me from the guitar part around the chorus in Don't Panic

    As a Coldplay fan since long, I'm actually glad how you have broken down how fine their music can get, in spite of getting overly complicated. They have produced some great piano songs like "Fly On", "Everglow" to the acoustic bliss like in their old EP era such as "See You Soon" or "Sparks". If someone actually spends some time, they can try listening to the Everyday Life where they took an attempt to shift their genre to combine with orchestral sounds. On going to the "Life in Technicolor" song, you can even find the subtle use of Indian classical Music. And for the ones complaining Coldplay ain't "rock" enough, maybe try listening to "People of the Pride" or "God Put a Smile Upon My Face". Cheers!! Thanks Mike for this amazing video!

    my first Coldplay song was Clocks... then heard Yellow... but it wasn't until the Viva La Vida record with "Lovers in Japan" that had me consuming some Coldplay... it was also during that record that I had my own collection of guitar pedals as a church guitarist myself to where I experiment with finding the Coldplay tone on my MIM 72 Tele Custom... or maybe it was my PRS SE Custom 22... either way, "Lovers in Japan" help me refine my tone... But then I learned about X & Y's "Fix You" and that one string riff in the turnaround to the bridge... that really got me digging them...

    I always think it’s funny listening to my guitarist friends complain about pop music being “simple” while they worship bands like AC/DC and Black Sabbath and Guns and Roses. Like, your average 4 chord pop song has more chords than the average AC/DC song, as an example. And then so many people put classical music in such a high pedestal, too. I went and started listening to classical, and I realized that Chopin liked to compose pieces around 4 chord loops, and Mozart seems to like composing around simple chord loops or melodic hooks. Once I realized that, I decided to just listen to whatever music I wanted, and I’ve found some really amazing hidden gems.

    I've always been a fan of Coldplay. EVERY member of Coldplay is underrated and overlooked, imo. None of them ever really do anything over the top or flashy, but as a whole the band is just a magical mixture that is much more than the sum of their parts. Any musician, or person in general really, instantly loses a ton of respect from me if they trash on Coldplay. It's fine if they aren't your style of music - but if you think they are just trash or not skilled, then you just aren't looking closely enough at what is going on. Johnny isn't going off on crazy Mayer blues solos or revolutionizing guitar like Polyphia, but regardless he has so many catchy guitar lines that are iconic and memorable - and the tones and sounds he creates are just magic. Guy isn't trying to do a ton of crazy slapping or solos on the bass like he's Victor Wooten or Thundercat, but he is such an incredibly solid foundation that holds the entire band together, and when you take the time to listen for his bass riffs they are freaking sick. Will's drumming is solid and punchy, and he has so many cool beats. And everyone knows Chris has such an iconic voice, with a ton of range, as well as being an incredibly underrated piano player. They just fit together perfectly and all of their parts weave together to make something special. Unfortunately their latest 3 albums have been pretty disappointing, as I feel they strayed too far from what they do well as a band. Albums 1-7 however are golden.

    I think whats amazing is that Jonnys playing in the earlier demos feels like he (and the rest of the band) are trying to 'fit in' with other English musicians of the 90's, and there's a song I always think to where I just hear Chris and Jonny shine in full technicolor for the first time, and its 'Careful Where you Stand.' While published as a Parachutes B-side, the song was written earlier and feels very VERY Coldplay. Towards the end Jonny's guitar playing is really haunting and so melodically odd, and pairs beautifully with Chris' vocal instrumentation. For those who are newer fans, PLEASE listen to this song. And furthermore, check out all their B-sides. Though not all are winners, there's some really good stuff there!

    Viva la Vida like 10+ years ago, when I first heard it. First one I liked a lot, adventure of a lifetime 2015. Now I’m still huge fan with replicas of clothing and everything and went to 2 concerts 😂.

    Someone that truly shocked me with a new release was a little nobody called Taylor Swift. When she dropped Folklore and Evermore, I listened to that on loop. The storytelling, the lyrics, the song construction was pure Gold! These two albums stay my forever favourites and following that Midnight was sort of a let down.

    Personally I think it's Chris that causes a bit of the resentment of Cold Play. When they first burst on the scene you couldn't get away from them, I think the first one I heard was Yellow, as they were the darlings of the scene. I'm no great fan of all their work despite liking some of their songs quite a bit and some of the guitar lines are quite brilliant. Personal favourites are the White Shadows riff which is simple and effective and I really like how the guitar just crashes in on Violet Hill almost catches you off guard. Its all very influenced by the way 'Edge' from U2 plays I feel.

    But Chris is one of the most humble and down to earth musicians out there, and his voice is just something else. He doesn't chase perfection in the notes he hits, he aims for a raw feeling that resonates with the listeners and makes them feel something within, just pure chills. Have a listen to Easy To Please, such a simple yet hauntingly beautiful song, can't imagine anyone else singing it.

    I really like their sound. It's really cozy, at least up to AHFUD. Sometimes though, I couldn't stand Chris Martin's voice and wished that they were an instrumental-only band. It's like the same dynamic with Bernard Sumner and New Order. Sometimes though I see it as a way to ground and humanize their sound.

    If you see from the Live 2003 dvd, Jonny in A Rush of Blood to the Head is purely haunting. And if you can guess my name Parastar here is Coldplay based. For me Parachutes will always be their best album and Guy Berryman’s bass work too was his best there. The fact that he also plays right hand bass when he is actually left handed in real life is pretty cool

    Johnny Buckland has the talent of writing "memorable" "emotion-filled", "serving-the-song" I think it's more important technical virtuosity. Some guitarist and artists are able to create a listenable sound *and* present an impressive technical playing for the masses.

    To be honest, I used to like them a lot more than I like them now. After... I guess it would have been after Viva La Vida, when they started playing more with electronic parts. And that was fine at first, but as it went on they started replacing the parts of their sound that I had really liked with new things that didn't really hold my interest the same way. The last album I heard, I think it was Everyday Life, still had a few tracks that I really enjoyed on there... but those were certainly fewer and farther between than they used to be. A Rush of Blood to The Head, X&Y, and Viva La Vida are still three albums I really like and I listen to songs from them a lot. While I'd be happy to be proven wrong, I don't think there's going to be anything new from the band that will take their place for a good while to come. I will say, in spite of all that, Chris Martin is still one of my favourite vocalists, right up there with folks (in other styles) like Peter Steele and Trent Reznor.

    It's always been cool to hate whatever band got huge. For Coldplay I remember when Yellow hit - I hated it, and I still do. But then Clocks wiped me out and I've been a fan of not everything, but a lot of what they've released ever since.

    Jonny Buckland is a very underrated guitar player it's true. He plays guitar as an instrument and not for some flashy show-off a-la Slash or any Rock guitarists of the past. His guitar tones are often delicate and mellow, just fits perfectly with Coldplay's music. Coldplay hate is so forced and weird tbh. It's one thing to dislike their music cause it's a matter of taste and preference, but to actively deny that they have made an impact in music industry is daft. Their music is very distinctive & recognizable with interesting chord progression and that's why I love them so much. And I prefer male singers with soft falsetto rather than some screeching 'metal' voice that many of Coldplay haters prefer. I do think envy is a part of the hate tbh. They are selling stadiums really fast, everywhere around the world. If your music taste is so 'refined' 'edgy' 'sophisticated' don't you want your amazing favourite band to be successful and selling stadiums too? don't lie...lol. And the fact that today's music landscape & distribution is more digital and the way to make a living as a musician is to be a successful touring act...and it's a pretty tough achievement nowadays but Coldplay just dancing away being just that! and they are still relatively young. Also they are deemed 'uncool' because apparently Chris & co are humble, straight laced people with zero 'rockstar' gimmicks? They are too much of a green flag and it's difficult to tear them apart. Society tends to reward toxic men. Don't y'all just love it when you hear some rock stars getting into scuffle? I mean, hitting women, sleeping with groupies, giving women STDs, or maybe getting on the pedo train by dating underage girls... the more extravagant the stories the 'cooler' they are!! The frontman Chris Martin never badmouth his ex-wife (which is a great testament to his personality and IMHO more men should look up to him as a role model) and the rest of the boys (Jonny, Will and Guy) we never hear any weird gossips about them, which of course, made them 'Beta' and 'Boring'. I say keep being boring Coldplay. Let people hate. I bet they are having a good time crying all the way to the bank.
