Any guitarist out there interested in doing a gig for a Coldplay Tribute on Saturday 11th August in Malta our usual guitarist can't make it.
Contact 07746114202.
Cheers

Just wanted to say that you are one of the best Coldplay Tribute bands I've ever heard.
You guys sound very close to Coldplay's unique and amazing sound.
Also, you even look very much like Chris, which is a big compliment.

Well, sadly I do not live in the UK otherwise I'd try to help you out with your guitarist shortage....sorry

(Jonny Buckland is my guitar hero and I love trying to sound like him)

But you're bound to find someone,
Wishing you = Good Luck Coldplace!

Thankyou very much for the nice comments. And after studying and playing Coldplay's music i have realised more just how good each band member is, jonny is an amazing guitarist his solo parts are so effective to each song. Cheers Again.

So what was the outcome?

shanecrofts · 24-08-2007, 07:25 PM

The outcome. Well for the gig we also had a stand in Drummer that we'd never played with or practised with before, he said he knew the songs so we went with that, he knew sort of the album versions but not the live versions i.e the end bit to Clocks and just little bits like the bass drum continuing thru God Put A Smile. The Maltese people seemed to enjoy it, but i thought it was poor myself. Guitar parts weren't right and some drum patterns weren't right, especially Speed Of Sound. But like i said the people enjoyed it, i think it's cos they know the songs but dont really know how each instrument goes. Put it this way if we'd have done the gig infront of the members who come into this instrument room, the people who know the songs, then they would have noticed the mistakes. We got through it and were invited back again, so the guys who stood in, i thank them.

Good to hear the crowd enjoyed it. I guess you can't really expect too much from late stand-ins.
Must have been tough. Did you get to practice together at all?

shanecrofts · 25-08-2007, 07:52 PM

Yeah your defo right marky, cos you know without them the gig wouldn't have happened. So i'm greatful. And no we didn't have a single practice, i met both guys at the airport and the only time we got a practice was a quick sound check.
