sebrat · 27-05-2008, 08:56 AM

I was curious cause I asked them a question about the comparison of U2 and Coldplay and their thoughts on being the possible new version of U2.

“Really geeky” Coldplay guitarist Jonny Buckland discusses the making of Viva La Vida.

Where did the magic happen?
In North London, at our new studio, the Bakery.

The money spent recording this album could buy … Eight thousand Dalmations.

Studio demands?
Lunch. Not so much the food but the sitting down together. Brian [Eno] taught us that you should all eat together and have a break. It’s a bit like going to school.

The thing you can’t record without?
Clothes. We don’t like to record naked.

Why should someone buy your album?
I don’t want people to be taking this record back. Maybe listen to a friend’s copy first, then buy it if you like it.

Album you unabashedly ripped off?
There was this Donna Summer song Brian brought in. I cannot think of the name, but—this is really geeky shit—it had an interesting form.

Number of babies in the studio?
Occasionally we brought them in, but they tended not to play.

Number of paparazzi sightings?
Zero. I don’t think they are that interested in me, to be honest. I’ve tried to sell pictures of myself. Believe me, no one will pay.

The haters will say?
That it’s shit. But whatever anybody says about us, at least the album is not really long.

Jonny? That interview was with Jonny?

He's obviously been taking lessons from Chris in the fine art of 'answering questions with sarcastic deprecation'.

Thanks Ian.

Cris_Santos · 18-06-2008, 10:57 PM

dotty biscotti · 19-06-2008, 12:21 AM

I think Jonny may be giving Chris a run for his money
