Most Diverse CP member?

I'm going to say that our Berryman has the most musical talent, considering he can play a lot of instruments, but that's just my opinion. Any thoughts?

Coeurli · 23-06-2012, 07:06 PM

Well I thought it was Will who could play the most instruments

XyloPlay · 23-06-2012, 07:07 PM

I'm not an expert on this matter. Time for Wikipedia research...

Will can play the most instruments, and he can sing too...
I think It's him!

XyloPlay · 23-06-2012, 07:10 PM

Yeah, Will's got the most talent. About 3 or 4 more instruments as well (not including vocals)
I also think he has a better singing voice. Not necessarily saying he's the better singer

eva71 · 23-06-2012, 07:53 PM

After see them live twice, Guy is the best musician IMO, Chris is the best performer, Will is OK and I think Johnny has been a bit upstage in the last years.

XyloPlay · 23-06-2012, 08:05 PM

Since GPASUYF, Will has been awesome! He drums like there's no tomorrow!

lafinion · 23-06-2012, 08:37 PM

Chris has great writing abilities, Will can play virtually everything and sing, Guy is most advanced in playing his own instrument plus he is a producer, Jonny composes guitar riffs, as I understand, he is great in developing tunes into songs and on early stages of writing.

Twisted mind · 23-06-2012, 08:47 PM

I'd say Will.

^ After seeing him on stage, obviously, he's the most diverse one

phantoneku · 23-06-2012, 10:23 PM

It's gotta be Guy, with all the activities he's partaking in (within the business, or recreational) they don't exactly all line up... but that's what makes him unique

fakfak · 23-06-2012, 11:41 PM

I'd say Will is by far the most musically diverse member, as he plays tons of instruments (6 in an average show on the MX tour). That said, Guy has the most overall stuff going on, with Apparatjik, his producing, his photography and his investing in antiques, cars, and real estate.

XyloPlay, I think you need to clarify what you were trying to get at with this statement/question.

If you're talking musically within Coldplay, then it's IMO Mr Champion wins this hands down. Haven't seen the others play as many instruments with such enthusiasm as Will does.

However, if you're talking in general, then Chris with his working with other bands and musicians or Guy with his producing, Apparatjik and engineering projects could take home the crown.

Although to counter argue that, do any of us know what Will and Jonny do when they aren't "being Coldplay"? Do they do work with the JVANMARS charity perhaps and we just don't hear about it compared to Guy's many projects?

IMHO Chris' outside projects pale in comparison to Guy's. Guy dabbles in a bit of everything these days, whereas Chris' sidelines are pretty much limited to writing a few songs with/for others, and even that has dropped off a bit over the last couple years. It seems to me like a lot of his "pop" stuff that used to go to others, is now being worked into Coldplay material.
