- 00:00:09,568 --> 00:00:12,478
- Hello?
- - Hi, hey, Chris, it's Mat.
- 2
- 00:00:12,658 --> 00:00:15,568
- - Mat, how you doing?
- - I'm good. Can you talk?
- 3
- 00:00:15,748 --> 00:00:18,228
- Yeah, it's
- a good time. How are you?
- 4
- 00:00:18,398 --> 00:00:19,718
- I'm good, I was just...
- I was just wondering
- 5
- 00:00:19,743 --> 00:00:22,034
- if you had a chance
- to see the film yet.
- 6
- 00:00:22,218 --> 00:00:25,758
- Uh, the truth is, Mat, I don't
- think I'm gonna be able to do it.
- 7
- 00:00:25,928 --> 00:00:31,808
- I feel like if I see it, I might just
- wanna remove myself from the film.
- 8
- 00:00:31,978 --> 00:00:36,328
- - So, if it's okay with
- you, could I just trust you on it?
- 9
- 00:00:36,508 --> 00:00:38,148
- - Okay.
- - If you don't mind.
- 10
- 00:00:38,288 --> 00:00:40,008
- I just feel like
- we've known you for so long
- 11
- 00:00:40,158 --> 00:00:41,948
- and we trust you
- and we love you.
- 12
- 00:00:42,118 --> 00:00:44,248
- You just make the film
- you wanna make
- 13
- 00:00:44,428 --> 00:00:47,258
- and all I ask is please
- could you not open the film
- 14
- 00:00:47,428 --> 00:00:49,668
- with one of those shots of the
- band walking to the stage,
- 15
- 00:00:49,738 --> 00:00:51,698
- 'cause I feel like
- that's been done.
- 16
- 00:00:51,868 --> 00:00:53,518
- - Really?
- - Yeah.
- 17
- 00:00:53,698 --> 00:00:55,414
- Okay. Well, leave it with me.
- I'll see what I can do.
- 18
- 00:00:55,438 --> 00:00:56,958
- - Thanks, Mat.
- - Yeah.
- 19
- 00:00:57,138 --> 00:00:58,898
- - Speak to you soon.
- - Bye-bye.
- 20
- 00:02:06,768 --> 00:02:10,638
- I don't
- want to rule or conquer anyone.
- 21
- 00:02:10,818 --> 00:02:12,598
- I should like to help everyone
- if possible...
- 22
- 00:02:12,778 --> 00:02:15,868
- Jew, Gentile, black man, white.
- 23
- 00:02:16,038 --> 00:02:17,698
- We all want to help one another.
- 24
- 00:02:17,868 --> 00:02:19,868
- Human beings are like that.
- 25
- 00:02:20,048 --> 00:02:22,308
- We don't want to hate
- or to despise one another.
- 26
- 00:02:22,478 --> 00:02:25,878
- In this world there's room for everyone.
- The good earth is rich.
- 27
- 00:02:26,048 --> 00:02:29,398
- For those who can hear me,
- I say do not despair.
- 28
- 00:02:29,578 --> 00:02:32,968
- The hate of men will pass
- and dictators die,
- 29
- 00:02:33,148 --> 00:02:36,448
- and the power they took from the
- people will return to the people.
- 30
- 00:02:36,628 --> 00:02:38,408
- The kingdom of God
- is within men,
- 31
- 00:02:38,588 --> 00:02:40,368
- not one man, nor a group of men,
- 32
- 00:02:40,538 --> 00:02:42,068
- but in all men, in you!
- 33
- 00:02:42,238 --> 00:02:44,198
- You, the people, have the power!
- 34
- 00:02:44,368 --> 00:02:47,328
- The power to create machines,
- the power to create happiness,
- 35
- 00:02:47,508 --> 00:02:50,858
- you, the people, have the power to
- make this life free and beautiful,
- 36
- 00:02:51,028 --> 00:02:52,948
- to make this life
- a wonderful adventure!
- 37
- 00:02:53,118 --> 00:02:56,338
- A wonderful adventure!
- 38
- 00:03:01,128 --> 00:03:05,478
- A wonderful adventure!
- 39
- 00:04:30,778 --> 00:04:34,178
- A Head Full Of Dreams is somewhere
- we've been trying to go for a long time.
- 40
- 00:04:35,438 --> 00:04:39,138
- The journey has been
- so incremental and so episodic,
- 41
- 00:04:39,318 --> 00:04:41,358
- it's just a mountain
- that keeps getting higher.
- 42
- 00:04:41,528 --> 00:04:43,488
- If I ever turn round
- and look down,
- 43
- 00:04:43,668 --> 00:04:46,708
- I think will I just be amazed
- about how on earth we got here?
- 44
- 00:04:49,148 --> 00:04:50,798
- There's not really
- a day goes by
- 45
- 00:04:50,978 --> 00:04:54,588
- that I don't get a reminder
- of how very fortunate I am,
- 46
- 00:04:54,768 --> 00:04:56,768
- first of all,
- to have met the other guys
- 47
- 00:04:56,938 --> 00:04:59,678
- and that things just happened
- in the way that they did.
- 48
- 00:05:00,508 --> 00:05:02,768
- Our friendships
- have somehow survived
- 49
- 00:05:02,948 --> 00:05:05,818
- and stayed quite similar
- to how they were.
- 50
- 00:05:05,988 --> 00:05:08,078
- We've spent half our lives
- together now.
- 51
- 00:05:08,258 --> 00:05:12,478
- I've spent more time with these people
- than almost anybody else.
- 52
- 00:05:12,868 --> 00:05:16,128
- It's more like family, it's more
- like brothers, actually, than friends.
- 53
- 00:05:16,308 --> 00:05:19,308
- I think we all think about what
- we'd be doing with our lives
- 54
- 00:05:19,488 --> 00:05:21,178
- if we hadn't met each other.
- 55
- 00:05:21,358 --> 00:05:23,658
- I mean, it's almost terrifying
- thinking about it, really.
- 56
- 00:05:28,188 --> 00:05:29,538
- - Cool.
- - Nice.
- 57
- 00:05:29,708 --> 00:05:31,498
- Can you turn the lights down
- a tiny bit?
- 58
- 00:05:33,668 --> 00:05:35,718
- Just this one down a bit.
- Thanks, bro.
- 59
- 00:05:36,548 --> 00:05:37,548
- Cool, cool, cool.
- 60
- 00:05:39,418 --> 00:05:43,898
- What are we singing?
- 61
- 00:07:10,598 --> 00:07:11,768
- Nice.
- 62
- 00:07:11,948 --> 00:07:13,444
- Great work, fellers.
- 63
- 00:07:13,468 --> 00:07:15,598
- Yeah, that's it. That's it.
- 64
- 00:07:15,778 --> 00:07:17,388
- Wait, list...
- Listen to the applause.
- 65
- 00:07:22,608 --> 00:07:25,364
- If you don't like it, don't worry about it.
- I'm having fun. You know what I mean?
- 66
- 00:07:25,388 --> 00:07:27,218
- That's how it makes me feel.
- 67
- 00:07:27,398 --> 00:07:29,438
- Dad, I love this song. Thank you, baby.
- 68
- 00:07:29,618 --> 00:07:32,398
- And thank you for saying
- what I paid you to say earlier.
- 69
- 00:07:34,968 --> 00:07:36,488
- I was saying to the others,
- 70
- 00:07:36,668 --> 00:07:39,578
- to see things that were recorded
- 20 years ago, you know,
- 71
- 00:07:39,758 --> 00:07:42,538
- I had no recollection of anyone
- having a camera back then...
- 72
- 00:07:42,718 --> 00:07:44,408
- Is a really strange sensation.
- 73
- 00:07:48,978 --> 00:07:52,458
- What had become really distant
- memories came flooding back to me.
- 74
- 00:07:52,638 --> 00:07:55,418
- You know, our lives have changed
- in so many ways.
- 75
- 00:07:56,078 --> 00:07:58,818
- And when I think back
- to what our first album was...
- 76
- 00:07:58,988 --> 00:08:00,988
- You know,
- if you listen to Parachutesnow,
- 77
- 00:08:01,168 --> 00:08:04,688
- it's very acoustic and it's very
- small and it's very intimate.
- 78
- 00:08:11,738 --> 00:08:15,268
- And then if you fast forward
- to A Head Full Of Dreams,
- 79
- 00:08:15,438 --> 00:08:17,528
- it's a very different thing
- altogether.
- 80
- 00:08:17,708 --> 00:08:20,668
- Looking back at some of the
- old footage, underneath it all,
- 81
- 00:08:20,838 --> 00:08:23,888
- I still see the same people then
- as we are today.
- 82
- 00:08:24,058 --> 00:08:27,668
- To really get the full story, you've
- got to go back to when we met.
- 83
- 00:08:27,848 --> 00:08:32,068
- I mean, it really does
- feel like a lifetime ago.
- 84
- 00:08:32,238 --> 00:08:36,598
- We were friends for almost a year
- before we played any music together.
- 85
- 00:08:36,768 --> 00:08:40,248
- We all lived in the same
- student halls of residence.
- 86
- 00:08:41,598 --> 00:08:44,208
- Most people would've found
- their bandmates by advertising.
- 87
- 00:08:44,388 --> 00:08:47,648
- "Drummer required" in the back of
- the NME or something like that.
- 88
- 00:08:49,738 --> 00:08:51,998
- Fuck it!
- - I think in our case, it was different
- 89
- 00:08:52,178 --> 00:08:55,528
- because we all really knew this is
- the group that we want to form.
- 90
- 00:08:55,698 --> 00:08:57,138
- This is who we want to be with.
- 91
- 00:09:00,048 --> 00:09:02,268
- We met at
- University College London.
- 92
- 00:09:02,448 --> 00:09:06,408
- We were all studying
- to be in bands.
- 93
- 00:09:15,628 --> 00:09:17,028
- I've been expecting you,
- come on in.
- 94
- 00:09:18,458 --> 00:09:20,598
- Just your Jones person?
- 95
- 00:09:21,378 --> 00:09:22,688
- Let me show you around.
- 96
- 00:09:22,858 --> 00:09:25,208
- College was just a sideline,
- you know.
- 97
- 00:09:25,378 --> 00:09:28,418
- I thought it was a good place to meet
- people 'cause I wanted to be in a band.
- 98
- 00:09:28,518 --> 00:09:30,208
- I got there,
- got to this big place,
- 99
- 00:09:30,388 --> 00:09:32,268
- Ramsay Hall it was called,
- Tottenham Court Road.
- 100
- 00:09:33,738 --> 00:09:36,348
- That block hasn't changed a bit.
- That was where we lived.
- 101
- 00:09:36,528 --> 00:09:38,738
- - Looks quite bucolic now, doesn't it?
- - Yeah.
- 102
- 00:09:38,918 --> 00:09:41,088
- Didn't look like that
- then.
- 103
- 00:09:41,268 --> 00:09:44,838
- I remember the first day I got here,
- a tramp was sick outside my room.
- 104
- 00:09:45,008 --> 00:09:47,358
- Lots of musicians in this hall,
- weren't there?
- 105
- 00:09:47,538 --> 00:09:50,498
- Five or six bands
- were spawned in our year.
- 106
- 00:09:51,538 --> 00:09:53,824
- There was a lot of sniffing out
- at the beginning, wasn't there?
- 107
- 00:09:53,848 --> 00:09:55,628
- Like, who does what?
- Who's a guitarist?
- 108
- 00:09:55,808 --> 00:09:57,750
- There was a bass player
- on the third floor.
- 109
- 00:09:59,068 --> 00:10:01,848
- Chris was like this massive
- ball of energy and hair.
- 110
- 00:10:02,028 --> 00:10:04,248
- Yeah, I remember he had
- very long hair,
- 111
- 00:10:04,418 --> 00:10:06,468
- quite unlike anyone
- I'd ever met before.
- 112
- 00:10:06,818 --> 00:10:08,858
- I would always be
- showing off saying,
- 113
- 00:10:09,038 --> 00:10:11,678
- "I play songs, I play songs" to
- anyone that would listen, you know?
- 114
- 00:10:11,858 --> 00:10:15,518
- ♪ I love you Jim
- you are a geezer ♪
- 115
- 00:10:17,738 --> 00:10:19,698
- ♪ I don't mind in
- the slightest ♪
- 116
- 00:10:19,868 --> 00:10:24,438
- ♪ That you look just a little
- bit like Julius Caesar ♪
- 117
- 00:10:24,618 --> 00:10:27,268
- He was very, very funny,
- 118
- 00:10:27,448 --> 00:10:30,448
- and, you know,
- he was the life of the party.
- 119
- 00:10:30,618 --> 00:10:34,888
- ♪ I love
- Jim and everybody knows ♪
- 120

- 121
- 00:10:42,808 --> 00:10:45,248
- He was just waiting for
- someone to click with,
- 122
- 00:10:45,418 --> 00:10:47,218
- - and fortunately that was you.
- - Hmm.
- 123
- 00:10:48,418 --> 00:10:50,598
- Back in 1996 when we met,
- 124
- 00:10:50,768 --> 00:10:52,778
- I didn't think Jonny spoke
- at all.
- 125
- 00:10:52,948 --> 00:10:54,908
- He was just this stoned guy
- in the corner
- 126
- 00:10:55,078 --> 00:10:57,534
- that if you said something he
- would just, like, smile.
- 127
- 00:10:57,558 --> 00:10:59,558
- Yeah, we got on pretty well
- straightaway,
- 128
- 00:10:59,738 --> 00:11:02,218
- but you know, you can't start
- playing music on your first date.
- 129
- 00:11:02,648 --> 00:11:06,788
- I came to London solely to find some people
- to be in a band with and make music.
- 130
- 00:11:08,308 --> 00:11:11,708
- I'd wanted to do this
- from when I was a small boy,
- 131
- 00:11:11,878 --> 00:11:15,008
- but you never really imagine
- that it's possible.
- 132
- 00:11:16,448 --> 00:11:17,968
- One day I came into the room
- he was in,
- 133
- 00:11:18,018 --> 00:11:19,538
- and Jonny had a guitar,
- and I was like,
- 134
- 00:11:19,578 --> 00:11:20,734
- "I didn't know
- you played guitar."
- 135
- 00:11:20,758 --> 00:11:21,888
- Then he started playing.
- 136
- 00:11:24,148 --> 00:11:26,238
- And something in me
- was switched.
- 137
- 00:11:26,418 --> 00:11:28,304
- I was like, "This is the guy I've
- been looking for my whole life."
- 138
- 00:11:28,328 --> 00:11:30,418
- Chuck! Chuck, it's Marvin.
- 139
- 00:11:30,598 --> 00:11:33,418
- Like in Back to the Future
- where Chuck's cousin Marvin
- 140
- 00:11:34,468 --> 00:11:37,378
- calls Chuck Berry and says, "I've got
- that new sound you're looking for."
- 141
- 00:11:37,558 --> 00:11:39,338
- Well, listen to this!
- 142
- 00:11:40,948 --> 00:11:42,868
- It was
- love at first sight for me.
- 143
- 00:11:43,518 --> 00:11:45,348
- He took a little longer
- to convince.
- 144
- 00:11:49,958 --> 00:11:52,178
- When I first started playing
- with Chris,
- 145
- 00:11:52,358 --> 00:11:56,578
- I thought, "He's so good, I think
- we might do something," you know.
- 146
- 00:12:04,888 --> 00:12:07,678
- Obviously you have a sense
- that something is starting,
- 147
- 00:12:07,848 --> 00:12:12,068
- but I don't think we had a sense of what
- that something was or where it would end up.
- 148
- 00:12:13,598 --> 00:12:17,248
- Within a couple of weeks,
- we'd asked Guy if he would join.
- 149
- 00:12:18,948 --> 00:12:20,858
- Me and Guy didn't like
- each other at first.
- 150
- 00:12:21,038 --> 00:12:23,468
- He thought I was weird
- 'cause I had long curly hair.
- 151
- 00:12:23,648 --> 00:12:26,388
- I thought he was arrogant, but he wasn't.
- He was just really quiet.
- 152
- 00:12:26,558 --> 00:12:29,048
- But then we bonded over
- a keyboard, so we thought,
- 153
- 00:12:29,218 --> 00:12:31,348
- "Ah, wicked. Well,
- maybe we don't hate each other."
- 154
- 00:12:31,998 --> 00:12:34,308
- What does it mean to me, music?
- 155
- 00:12:34,488 --> 00:12:39,318
- It's been my life since I was
- probably about five years old.
- 156
- 00:12:39,878 --> 00:12:43,888
- I found a box of cassettes my sister
- had, and I'll never forget that.
- 157
- 00:12:44,058 --> 00:12:48,888
- I became a bass player 'cause
- of my love of soul and funk.
- 158
- 00:12:49,068 --> 00:12:50,954
- And that was it, you know.
- I'd get home from school
- 159
- 00:12:50,978 --> 00:12:53,638
- and I would just play that
- instrument constantly for hours,
- 160
- 00:12:53,808 --> 00:12:55,548
- just lock myself away
- and play it.
- 161
- 00:12:56,938 --> 00:12:59,818
- He was the first person
- to put his whole life on hold
- 162
- 00:12:59,988 --> 00:13:04,518
- based on one song that Jonny and I had
- played him on two crappy old guitars.
- 163
- 00:13:05,518 --> 00:13:07,908
- It just blows my mind
- that he did that.
- 164
- 00:13:09,088 --> 00:13:11,258
- It soon became apparent
- that we needed a drummer
- 165
- 00:13:11,438 --> 00:13:13,918
- if we wanted to play a gig.
- 166
- 00:13:14,388 --> 00:13:16,528
- Chris Martin, these are
- your wheels of fortune.
- 167
- 00:13:16,698 --> 00:13:20,438
- What's up? I'm Cheese Hawk,
- I ride for Proco trucks
- 168
- 00:13:20,618 --> 00:13:22,358
- and Deutschentractors.
- 169
- 00:13:22,528 --> 00:13:24,878
- We went away for the summer
- and at the end of the summer,
- 170
- 00:13:25,058 --> 00:13:27,778
- we started really writing some good
- songs and we wanted to do a demo.
- 171
- 00:13:27,888 --> 00:13:30,448
- Today we can eat food
- that isn't come out of the bin.
- 172
- 00:13:33,588 --> 00:13:36,564
- We were cool in everything except
- the drums. We didn't have a drummer.
- 173
- 00:13:36,588 --> 00:13:40,678
- So, when we went to do our first photo
- shoot in Tesco's on Oxford Street,
- 174
- 00:13:41,288 --> 00:13:43,208
- I did mine, Jonny did his,
- Guy did his.
- 175
- 00:13:43,378 --> 00:13:45,898
- So it was just three of us and
- it was called the PanicEP.
- 176
- 00:13:46,858 --> 00:13:49,038
- So, we went down to Will's house
- 177
- 00:13:49,208 --> 00:13:51,969
- and Will was always our mate who
- played guitar much better than anyone
- 178
- 00:13:51,998 --> 00:13:53,608
- and knew about 100 songs.
- 179
- 00:13:53,778 --> 00:13:55,348
- He was a walking jukebox.
- 180
- 00:13:55,518 --> 00:13:58,308
- I met Chris... We were
- on a bus somewhere together.
- 181
- 00:13:58,478 --> 00:14:02,228
- We used to play guitars in the stairwells
- 'cause they had nice acoustics.
- 182
- 00:14:02,398 --> 00:14:04,918
- I was at the bottom of the stairs
- and he was on the fifth floor.
- 183
- 00:14:04,968 --> 00:14:07,398
- A five-story musical experience.
- 184
- 00:14:08,318 --> 00:14:13,058
- It's a very fundamental and basic
- memory that I have about being a child.
- 185
- 00:14:13,238 --> 00:14:17,018
- Music was all around.
- It's a legacy of my mum's.
- 186
- 00:14:17,198 --> 00:14:19,718
- I knew that Chris and Jonny
- had recorded an EP
- 187
- 00:14:19,898 --> 00:14:21,508
- and they wanted some drums
- on it.
- 188
- 00:14:21,678 --> 00:14:24,248
- My flatmate played the drums
- and he had a drum kit.
- 189
- 00:14:24,418 --> 00:14:28,078
- We set it all up and then, when it
- was ready to go, he wasn't around.
- 190
- 00:14:28,248 --> 00:14:29,858
- I think he'd disappeared.
- 191
- 00:14:30,038 --> 00:14:31,964
- I'm not sure how committed
- he was to being in a band.
- 192
- 00:14:31,988 --> 00:14:33,688
- So, Will said, "I'll do it."
- 193
- 00:14:34,038 --> 00:14:35,798
- I'm the only one here,
- I'm the only one left.
- 194
- 00:14:35,868 --> 00:14:38,828
- "I'll give it a go" and then
- he went...
- 195
- 00:14:42,788 --> 00:14:46,178
- I had the same feeling that I had with Guy
- and Jonny. "Oh, that's him. There he is."
- 196
- 00:14:46,358 --> 00:14:47,894
- We didn't actually know
- you were a drummer.
- 197
- 00:14:47,918 --> 00:14:49,618
- No, I wasn't.
- 198
- 00:14:49,788 --> 00:14:52,348
- That's the key, I'm still trying
- to convince the world that I am.
- 199
- 00:14:54,838 --> 00:14:56,368
- And Coldplay was born.
- 200
- 00:14:56,538 --> 00:14:59,368
- It's like when bacon and eggs
- 201
- 00:14:59,538 --> 00:15:01,458
- and mushrooms and chips
- 202
- 00:15:01,628 --> 00:15:03,328
- are put on the same plate
- 203
- 00:15:03,498 --> 00:15:06,638
- and become something greater
- than those individual parts.
- 204
- 00:15:06,808 --> 00:15:09,728
- It becomes
- a cohesive whole that's tasty.
- 205
- 00:15:10,418 --> 00:15:11,988
- Our sound is tasty.
- 206
- 00:15:12,558 --> 00:15:16,208
- Chris is the unstoppable
- creative force of the band
- 207
- 00:15:16,388 --> 00:15:18,738
- that we try our best
- to keep up with.
- 208
- 00:15:19,428 --> 00:15:22,388
- He's our best friend
- and a musical genius
- 209
- 00:15:22,568 --> 00:15:25,048
- and he never stops
- surprising you.
- 210
- 00:15:26,048 --> 00:15:28,008
- Music means everything to me.
- 211
- 00:15:28,178 --> 00:15:29,968
- I think when I was about 16,
- 212
- 00:15:30,138 --> 00:15:33,058
- I was performing and doing music
- at boarding school.
- 213
- 00:15:33,228 --> 00:15:36,578
- And I remember saying to people,
- "I'm gonna do this forever."
- 214
- 00:15:36,748 --> 00:15:40,448
- They were like, "Sure. And why don't you
- reanimate dinosaurs while you're at it?"
- 215
- 00:15:40,628 --> 00:15:42,278
- You know, it was
- that ridiculous.
- 216
- 00:15:43,198 --> 00:15:44,978
- But I've been really blessed
- in my life
- 217
- 00:15:45,148 --> 00:15:48,978
- with an ability to not give up,
- and it came from my dad.
- 218
- 00:15:49,158 --> 00:15:50,694
- He's the first person
- that said it to me,
- 219
- 00:15:50,718 --> 00:15:52,198
- and would often say it to me,
- 220
- 00:15:52,378 --> 00:15:54,028
- and I now say it to my son.
- 221
- 00:15:54,768 --> 00:15:57,428
- My dad is a circus
- ringmaster really,
- 222
- 00:15:57,598 --> 00:15:59,468
- but he was told
- to be an accountant.
- 223
- 00:15:59,818 --> 00:16:02,388
- And in my mum, I could feel
- a certain frustration
- 224
- 00:16:02,558 --> 00:16:05,388
- that she wasn't able to do what
- she really loved, which is music.
- 225
- 00:16:05,998 --> 00:16:08,958
- So, with both of them,
- there was a subconscious thing
- 226
- 00:16:09,128 --> 00:16:13,228
- that if you really feel that you're
- supposed to do something, go for it.
- 227
- 00:16:13,398 --> 00:16:16,098
- And it gave me
- this great sense of possibility
- 228
- 00:16:16,658 --> 00:16:19,448
- and then that philosophy
- became A Head Full Of Dreams.
- 229
- 00:16:21,188 --> 00:16:25,408
- He has a relentless and infectious
- energy for music and for life
- 230
- 00:16:25,588 --> 00:16:27,938
- and it's incredible
- to have shared a journey
- 231
- 00:16:28,108 --> 00:16:29,848
- because we're
- very different people.
- 232
- 00:16:30,548 --> 00:16:33,248
- Chris always has a very clear
- idea about where he wants to be,
- 233
- 00:16:33,638 --> 00:16:35,198
- what he wants to be doing next.
- 234
- 00:16:36,248 --> 00:16:41,338
- We, Jon Buckland, Chris Martin,
- Will Champion and Guy Berryman,
- 235
- 00:16:41,508 --> 00:16:44,388
- aka The Coldplay, are gonna
- go on to be such a huge band,
- 236
- 00:16:44,558 --> 00:16:48,868
- and this will be on national television
- within four years, four years.
- 237
- 00:16:49,038 --> 00:16:51,828
- This is now 26th June, 1998.
- 238
- 00:16:51,998 --> 00:16:54,568
- By the 26th of June, 2002,
- 239
- 00:16:54,748 --> 00:16:57,528
- The Coldplay or the band,
- whatever they're called then,
- 240
- 00:16:57,698 --> 00:16:59,878
- will be known
- just all over, man.
- 241
- 00:17:00,058 --> 00:17:03,278
- We're gonna be so big.
- 242
- 00:17:03,448 --> 00:17:06,758
- So Guy, Will, Jon, and Chris,
- Don't you forget, all right?
- 243
- 00:17:07,448 --> 00:17:09,798
- Massive. Absolutely huge.
- 244
- 00:17:56,018 --> 00:17:57,498
- Every record is
- your first and last.
- 245
- 00:17:57,678 --> 00:17:59,318
- That's the way
- you should really treat it.
- 246
- 00:17:59,418 --> 00:18:01,418
- We're not under the impression
- that we have a right
- 247
- 00:18:01,588 --> 00:18:03,808
- to just amble
- into these massive arenas
- 248
- 00:18:03,988 --> 00:18:06,664
- and play to the same kind of numbers
- that we played to on the last tour.
- 249
- 00:18:06,688 --> 00:18:08,728
- We're starting again
- at rock bottom.
- 250
- 00:18:08,908 --> 00:18:11,234
- - Well, not quite rock bottom...
- - Sort of drop bottom soft.
- 251
- 00:18:11,258 --> 00:18:13,388
- - Yeah.
- - But that's good, I think.
- 252
- 00:18:13,558 --> 00:18:16,319
- As ridiculous as it sounds, I still
- feel like we're trying to make it.
- 253
- 00:18:16,998 --> 00:18:18,934
- Hey, our friend Chris
- Martin is in studio with us now.
- 254
- 00:18:18,958 --> 00:18:20,958
- And he's from a little band
- called Coldplay.
- 255
- 00:18:21,138 --> 00:18:22,894
- Their new record is called
- A Head Full Of Dreams.
- 256
- 00:18:22,918 --> 00:18:25,968
- Aren't you so delighted, though,
- when you crawl out of the cave
- 257
- 00:18:26,138 --> 00:18:28,798
- where you boys make your magic
- that the world still cares?
- 258
- 00:18:28,968 --> 00:18:32,708
- Definitely. And right now we're
- going on tour for another 18 months or so.
- 259
- 00:18:32,888 --> 00:18:34,368
- That's when
- the real payoff happens.
- 260
- 00:18:36,798 --> 00:18:38,628
- You can't take anything
- for granted.
- 261
- 00:18:38,808 --> 00:18:40,368
- As fast as the ascent has been,
- 262
- 00:18:40,548 --> 00:18:43,068
- the descent can be
- four or five times as fast.
- 263
- 00:18:43,638 --> 00:18:45,118
- Having done like
- a week of rehearsing,
- 264
- 00:18:45,288 --> 00:18:46,938
- we did like a practice gig.
- 265
- 00:18:47,118 --> 00:18:48,524
- It was basically like
- us saying good-bye.
- 266
- 00:18:48,548 --> 00:18:50,168
- We're going away
- for a year and a half.
- 267
- 00:18:50,338 --> 00:18:52,224
- At the end of it,
- I got this overwhelming feeling
- 268
- 00:18:52,248 --> 00:18:53,728
- that everyone was being
- nice about it,
- 269
- 00:18:53,818 --> 00:18:55,908
- but actually
- we sounded absolutely terrible.
- 270
- 00:18:56,078 --> 00:18:58,638
- We definitely felt like we had to
- kind of earn our stripes again.
- 271
- 00:18:59,348 --> 00:19:01,648
- Hey, how are you doing?
- 272
- 00:19:01,828 --> 00:19:04,478
- The brand-new album is
- so different from the last album.
- 273
- 00:19:04,658 --> 00:19:07,268
- So much energy,
- so much color, so much light.
- 274
- 00:19:07,438 --> 00:19:10,618
- Absolutely. We wanted to just
- make the album we always dreamed of.
- 275
- 00:19:10,788 --> 00:19:14,164
- But now we're a little nervy, of course,
- 'cause we don't know what anyone will think.
- 276
- 00:19:14,188 --> 00:19:16,308
- But it's just like a dream
- come true, the whole thing.
- 277
- 00:19:16,448 --> 00:19:17,928
- This might just work.
- 278
- 00:19:22,588 --> 00:19:24,588
- It was just time for us
- to make an album
- 279
- 00:19:24,758 --> 00:19:27,548
- about hope and love
- and togetherness,
- 280
- 00:19:27,718 --> 00:19:29,558
- you know, embracing all
- the sounds that we love
- 281
- 00:19:29,728 --> 00:19:31,378
- and all the styles that we like.
- 282
- 00:19:32,208 --> 00:19:35,128
- I think some people will just say, "Oh,
- fuck off. This is hippy nonsense."
- 283
- 00:19:35,208 --> 00:19:36,598
- But that's okay.
- 284
- 00:19:36,778 --> 00:19:38,274
- This is the first tour where
- we feel like,
- 285
- 00:19:38,298 --> 00:19:39,948
- yeah, that's how we want
- it to be.
- 286
- 00:19:40,738 --> 00:19:42,658
- I think every other tour
- up to this one has been,
- 287
- 00:19:42,828 --> 00:19:45,658
- "One day we'll have this kind
- of song and production."
- 288
- 00:19:45,828 --> 00:19:47,668
- This Head Full of Dreams
- tour is the first time
- 289
- 00:19:47,788 --> 00:19:49,748
- we've got what we were
- always hoping for.
- 290
- 00:20:38,228 --> 00:20:41,798
- There's four of you in
- the band. Who's in charge? Who's the boss?
- 291
- 00:20:41,968 --> 00:20:44,238
- We have a fifth member
- called Phil.
- 292
- 00:20:44,408 --> 00:20:47,148
- Nobody sees him
- because he's too good-looking,
- 293
- 00:20:47,328 --> 00:20:49,888
- and he pulls all the strings.
- 294
- 00:20:50,068 --> 00:20:52,328
- - Does he actually exist?
- - Phil is real.
- 295
- 00:20:52,498 --> 00:20:54,458
- I would like
- to rephrase that. Phil is real.
- 296
- 00:20:54,638 --> 00:20:57,378
- He's... Can you not see him?
- 297
- 00:20:57,548 --> 00:20:59,338
- He's sitting right there.
- 298
- 00:20:59,508 --> 00:21:01,378
- He's next to Guy.
- He doesn't speak much.
- 299
- 00:21:01,558 --> 00:21:03,338
- No, he doesn't show up on TV.
- 300
- 00:21:04,338 --> 00:21:06,688
- So, Phil Harvey was our
- first manager.
- 301
- 00:21:06,868 --> 00:21:09,478
- He paid for us to record
- our first EP.
- 302
- 00:21:10,128 --> 00:21:12,518
- He's a sort of outsider
- on the inside.
- 303
- 00:21:12,698 --> 00:21:16,918
- He's able to view with a much better
- perspective than sometimes we can.
- 304
- 00:21:17,088 --> 00:21:19,048
- The difference between
- having four and five people
- 305
- 00:21:19,098 --> 00:21:22,878
- in a democracy is actually
- crucial, because someone will win.
- 306
- 00:21:23,058 --> 00:21:24,878
- You don't get a stalemate.
- 307
- 00:21:25,278 --> 00:21:28,888
- It's probably even healthier than a
- democracy because no one can be voted out.
- 308
- 00:21:29,058 --> 00:21:30,538
- There's no elections.
- 309
- 00:21:30,718 --> 00:21:33,588
- It's like a democratic
- five-way dictatorship.
- 310
- 00:21:34,978 --> 00:21:36,898
- So, how much for... 400 each.
- 311
- 00:21:37,068 --> 00:21:38,808
- 400 each? Yes, sir.
- 312
- 00:21:38,988 --> 00:21:42,118
- What? You make it done sir,
- three pieces for...
- 313
- 00:21:42,288 --> 00:21:44,338
- 1,000 four. Let's call it 600.
- 314
- 00:21:45,078 --> 00:21:46,988
- Take. 1,000.That's terrible negotiating.
- 315
- 00:21:49,388 --> 00:21:52,388
- The important thing when you're in a new
- city is not to look like a tourist.
- 316
- 00:21:52,518 --> 00:21:53,598
- Right, Phil? Just blend in.
- 317
- 00:21:53,698 --> 00:21:54,898
- Just make sure you're prepared
- 318
- 00:21:54,958 --> 00:21:56,088
- for any eventuality.
- 319
- 00:21:56,258 --> 00:21:58,568
- Yeah, be safe
- and be discreet and...
- 320
- 00:21:58,738 --> 00:22:01,008
- I think we'll be okay. All right?
- 321
- 00:22:01,178 --> 00:22:04,708
- So, me and Chris, we got sent to the
- same boarding school when we were 13.
- 322
- 00:22:05,228 --> 00:22:08,618
- That was how we met, and, uh, he's
- been my best friend ever since.
- 323
- 00:22:09,628 --> 00:22:11,838
- I think, subconsciously,
- I spent a long time,
- 324
- 00:22:12,018 --> 00:22:13,888
- almost in denial
- of my upbringing.
- 325
- 00:22:14,538 --> 00:22:16,238
- I was raised very religious,
- 326
- 00:22:16,718 --> 00:22:18,848
- so there's a sort of
- constant self-doubt.
- 327
- 00:22:19,938 --> 00:22:22,638
- I came from a very
- small school in Devon
- 328
- 00:22:22,808 --> 00:22:25,678
- and then went to this
- much bigger school in Dorset.
- 329
- 00:22:25,858 --> 00:22:29,078
- There, I realized,
- "Oh, this is gonna be tough."
- 330
- 00:22:29,248 --> 00:22:30,754
- In retrospect,
- it was great preparation
- 331
- 00:22:30,778 --> 00:22:34,428
- for being in Coldplay,
- the abuse.
- 332
- 00:22:34,608 --> 00:22:37,518
- I think people
- were pretty fucking mean to him.
- 333
- 00:22:37,698 --> 00:22:41,438
- I think there was also a
- certain vulnerability about him.
- 334
- 00:22:41,608 --> 00:22:45,358
- There was a few guys in my year who
- seemed to have it a bit more together
- 335
- 00:22:45,528 --> 00:22:47,398
- and were twice as big
- as everybody else,
- 336
- 00:22:47,578 --> 00:22:50,578
- and one of them was this guy
- Phil with the most perfect hair.
- 337
- 00:22:50,748 --> 00:22:52,928
- And he basically took pity
- on me, I think.
- 338
- 00:22:53,708 --> 00:22:57,628
- We were in a couple of bands together
- at school, but I never lasted long.
- 339
- 00:22:57,798 --> 00:23:01,288
- I wanted it so badly,
- but I just had zero talent.
- 340
- 00:23:01,458 --> 00:23:03,718
- Our blues band
- was called the Rocking Honkies,
- 341
- 00:23:03,898 --> 00:23:05,638
- and it was as bad as it sounds.
- 342
- 00:23:05,808 --> 00:23:08,068
- We're gonna go backstage
- with the Honkies.
- 343
- 00:23:08,248 --> 00:23:09,548
- Add your comments on it.
- 344
- 00:23:09,728 --> 00:23:12,298
- Well, Tim, we're the
- rocking, tonking,
- 345
- 00:23:12,468 --> 00:23:16,078
- rocking, tonking,
- rocking, fucking honkies.
- 346
- 00:23:20,778 --> 00:23:23,568
- Chris Martin on the piano!
- 347
- 00:23:23,738 --> 00:23:28,358
- We know each other so well now that
- we know what buttons not to push.
- 348
- 00:23:28,528 --> 00:23:32,188
- Honestly, I feel better friends with
- the four of them now than I ever have.
- 349
- 00:23:32,358 --> 00:23:34,488
- Chris kind of explained it
- to me the other day,
- 350
- 00:23:34,668 --> 00:23:37,468
- 'cause we had a band meeting, and he
- said, "It's really nice nowadays",
- 351
- 00:23:37,628 --> 00:23:40,954
- I know when I don't have to say anything
- 'cause I know when Will's gonna say something,
- 352
- 00:23:40,978 --> 00:23:42,538
- "I know when Guy's gonna
- say something."
- 353
- 00:23:42,628 --> 00:23:45,288
- So, major disagreements
- are rare.
- 354
- 00:23:46,028 --> 00:23:49,678
- We've had our moments as a
- band, but we came through them.
- 355
- 00:23:49,858 --> 00:23:53,768
- A four-way marriage is a
- tricky proposition.
- 356
- 00:23:53,948 --> 00:23:57,468
- It's difficult because we work so hard on
- keeping each other happy, the four of us.
- 357
- 00:23:57,648 --> 00:24:00,258
- But sometimes
- things do need to be said,
- 358
- 00:24:00,428 --> 00:24:03,568
- and I've learnt over the years
- that that has to be me,
- 359
- 00:24:03,738 --> 00:24:07,528
- the sort of unofficial
- "spanner in the works thrower."
- 360
- 00:24:12,488 --> 00:24:14,968
- What songs are going
- on A Head Full Of Dreams?
- 361
- 00:24:15,138 --> 00:24:16,668
- I think we all agree that...
- 362
- 00:24:17,748 --> 00:24:19,228
- we might not all be
- in agreement.
- 363
- 00:24:21,018 --> 00:24:23,978
- But I think there are
- eight songs
- 364
- 00:24:24,148 --> 00:24:27,458
- which I would like to think that we
- won't have any disagreement about.
- 365
- 00:24:27,628 --> 00:24:30,548
- - Yes.
- - This might be too much for me.
- 366
- 00:24:30,718 --> 00:24:32,508
- Okay.
- 367
- 00:24:32,678 --> 00:24:36,598
- I'm worried that we might be about
- to really piss each other off.
- 368
- 00:24:36,768 --> 00:24:39,038
- We've gotta be honest.
- This week we can't...
- 369
- 00:24:39,208 --> 00:24:43,128
- - We have to have this.
- - All right. What are they?
- 370
- 00:24:43,298 --> 00:24:45,998
- My feeling is
- "Hymn for the Weekend."
- 371
- 00:24:46,168 --> 00:24:48,218
- - All agreed? Agreed?
- - Agreed.
- 372
- 00:24:48,388 --> 00:24:49,804
- - Carried, carried.
- - Yeah.
- 373
- 00:24:49,828 --> 00:24:51,308
- "Everglow"?
- 374
- 00:24:51,478 --> 00:24:53,698
- Agreed.
- 375
- 00:24:53,878 --> 00:24:55,268
- "Amazing Day."
- 376
- 00:25:00,968 --> 00:25:04,228
- But I don't wanna be a dick. My
- part is to keep the band together.
- 377
- 00:25:04,408 --> 00:25:06,498
- Of course, but...
- I'll do whatever you say.
- 378
- 00:25:06,668 --> 00:25:08,864
- I'm not gonna walk out
- of the band just because...
- 379
- 00:25:08,888 --> 00:25:10,978
- So, that is on the definites.
- 380
- 00:25:11,148 --> 00:25:12,524
- "Up and Up." That's on my definites.
- 381
- 00:25:12,548 --> 00:25:14,678
- I would like it
- on there.
- 382
- 00:25:14,848 --> 00:25:19,028
- It has to be, really, because that's
- an example of a crucial story bit.
- 383
- 00:25:19,208 --> 00:25:21,558
- Well, we've definitely
- made an EP.
- 384
- 00:25:22,558 --> 00:25:25,728
- None of us are
- particularly confrontational,
- 385
- 00:25:25,908 --> 00:25:28,348
- but sometimes
- it can absolutely be fraught
- 386
- 00:25:28,518 --> 00:25:29,958
- and there are
- definitely arguments.
- 387
- 00:25:30,128 --> 00:25:31,608
- Everybody has a say, you know,
- 388
- 00:25:31,778 --> 00:25:34,738
- that's the foundation
- of our band really, is equality.
- 389
- 00:25:34,918 --> 00:25:37,918
- We decided that
- down in Camden from the outset.
- 390
- 00:25:38,568 --> 00:25:40,308
- This is our area.
- This is our area.
- 391
- 00:25:41,358 --> 00:25:42,618
- I'll show ya.
- 392
- 00:25:42,788 --> 00:25:44,448
- Just over there,
- that road up there.
- 393
- 00:25:44,618 --> 00:25:47,668
- Just up here is where it
- all happened. It's our Cavern.
- 394
- 00:25:47,838 --> 00:25:49,238
- This is where it began.
- 395
- 00:25:49,408 --> 00:25:50,994
- - Camden?
- - Yeah, at Camden.
- 396
- 00:25:51,018 --> 00:25:53,538
- Beginning of
- rock legend.
- 397
- 00:25:53,718 --> 00:25:55,588
- - This was it.
- - Wow.
- 398
- 00:25:55,758 --> 00:25:56,848
- So...
- 399
- 00:25:57,028 --> 00:25:58,588
- - 268.
- - Yeah.
- 400
- 00:25:58,768 --> 00:26:00,848
- - Been repainted.
- - Looks a lot nicer.
- 401
- 00:26:01,858 --> 00:26:06,038
- This is where we first started rehearsing
- when Will first joined the band.
- 402
- 00:26:06,208 --> 00:26:09,168
- My old flat
- where Chris and I used to live.
- 403
- 00:26:09,338 --> 00:26:12,168
- We are in Camden Road,
- we're The Coldplay.
- 404
- 00:26:12,348 --> 00:26:13,868
- Come on through,
- I'll show you.
- 405
- 00:26:14,038 --> 00:26:16,358
- - There goes Guy.
- - To the left down there.
- 406
- 00:26:17,608 --> 00:26:20,008
- - Who lived in there?
- - This was Chris's room.
- 407
- 00:26:20,748 --> 00:26:22,428
- - We played in here.
- - Yeah.
- 408
- 00:26:22,748 --> 00:26:24,878
- Basically we go through
- a simple stretch routine
- 409
- 00:26:25,048 --> 00:26:26,578
- while singing
- some songs as well.
- 410
- 00:26:26,748 --> 00:26:28,514
- I don't know if you can see
- that where you are.
- 411
- 00:26:28,538 --> 00:26:31,628
- This was Jonny's bedroom
- and our band rehearsal room.
- 412
- 00:26:31,798 --> 00:26:35,668
- Uh, Chris and I normally stand together.
- We raise the right arm.
- 413
- 00:26:35,848 --> 00:26:38,458
- Right one. Just bring it round
- to the side.
- 414
- 00:26:40,768 --> 00:26:42,638
- Did you just get
- your arse out, Jonny?
- 415
- 00:26:42,808 --> 00:26:45,174
- - It's pretty small, isn't it?
- - It really is.
- 416
- 00:26:45,198 --> 00:26:47,288
- For a full band and a bed.
- 417
- 00:26:47,468 --> 00:26:50,338
- It's funny to think that
- it all stemmed from this bedroom.
- 418
- 00:26:51,338 --> 00:26:54,258
- A few days after the
- Panic EP, we had our first rehearsal
- 419
- 00:26:54,428 --> 00:26:56,958
- and on that evening,
- I phoned up this promoter
- 420
- 00:26:57,128 --> 00:26:59,648
- at the Laurel Tree in Camden
- and said, "Can we have a gig?"
- 421
- 00:26:59,828 --> 00:27:01,788
- Thinking it might be
- in six, eight weeks' time.
- 422
- 00:27:01,958 --> 00:27:03,958
- He said, "Yeah, next Sunday."
- 423
- 00:27:04,138 --> 00:27:07,268
- "What's your name?"
- "We haven't got one yet."
- 424
- 00:27:07,438 --> 00:27:10,199
- That was it. We had to think of a
- name 'cause we were printing flyers.
- 425
- 00:27:10,228 --> 00:27:12,798
- So, we came up
- with a really terrible name.
- 426
- 00:27:14,408 --> 00:27:16,084
- There's an old piece of paper
- that Chris has.
- 427
- 00:27:16,108 --> 00:27:18,108
- It's like a list of things
- for the band.
- 428
- 00:27:18,278 --> 00:27:19,978
- One is to get a drummer.
- 429
- 00:27:20,148 --> 00:27:23,418
- Gig one, gig two, gig three,
- gig four, get signed.
- 430
- 00:27:24,328 --> 00:27:27,638
- It wasn't until Phil came along
- that things started to change.
- 431
- 00:27:28,328 --> 00:27:30,898
- I was always going down
- to visit Chris down in London
- 432
- 00:27:31,078 --> 00:27:33,558
- and I would share a bed
- with Jonny.
- 433
- 00:27:33,728 --> 00:27:37,208
- Obviously I came down for the first
- show when they were Star Fish.
- 434
- 00:27:39,818 --> 00:27:42,088
- It was in a total dive
- in Camden.
- 435
- 00:27:50,658 --> 00:27:53,968
- Our first gig in
- the Laurel Tree was, I think,
- 436
- 00:27:54,138 --> 00:27:57,758
- probably the most terrifying
- experience I've ever had in my life.
- 437
- 00:27:58,838 --> 00:28:01,148
- I felt so sick before it.
- 438
- 00:28:02,668 --> 00:28:04,888
- I've never been so nervous,
- I don't think.
- 439
- 00:28:05,068 --> 00:28:07,458
- We expected about 20 people.
- 440
- 00:28:07,638 --> 00:28:11,158
- It was sold out and we thought,
- "Wow, this is a bit weird."
- 441
- 00:28:12,118 --> 00:28:15,428
- That's the great thing about college,
- you know. It made us look popular.
- 442
- 00:28:15,598 --> 00:28:17,988
- Whereas, in fact,
- they were just there to pull.
- 443
- 00:28:18,168 --> 00:28:19,568
- It's really small,
- isn't it?
- 444
- 00:28:19,728 --> 00:28:21,428
- My pedal board
- wouldn't fit on this stage.
- 445
- 00:28:22,258 --> 00:28:25,218
- It's fantastic, though.
- - It doesn't feel like 20 years ago.
- 446
- 00:28:26,388 --> 00:28:28,268
- We did a couple of gigs
- here, didn't we?
- 447
- 00:28:28,348 --> 00:28:31,218
- I think this was just
- one without a drum kit.
- 448
- 00:28:31,618 --> 00:28:33,528
- Yeah. The band that was
- supporting us had a kit,
- 449
- 00:28:33,698 --> 00:28:36,114
- and so we asked them if we could
- use theirs and they said yes,
- 450
- 00:28:36,138 --> 00:28:38,138
- but then the promoter cut
- their set short.
- 451
- 00:28:38,318 --> 00:28:41,448
- Yeah. They got quite cross
- and they took their kit home.
- 452
- 00:28:41,628 --> 00:28:43,708
- I was pleading with them,
- "Please, don't take it.
- 453
- 00:28:43,888 --> 00:28:45,928
- This is only
- our second-ever show."
- 454
- 00:28:56,678 --> 00:28:59,558
- Absolutely terrifying in every
- way, but incredible and wonderful.
- 455
- 00:28:59,728 --> 00:29:04,258
- Our second gig as people,
- but our first gig as Coldplay.
- 456
- 00:29:04,428 --> 00:29:06,778
- - The Coldplay.
- - Oh, The Coldplay, yeah.
- 457
- 00:29:06,958 --> 00:29:08,388
- Where did our name come from?
- 458
- 00:29:08,568 --> 00:29:10,648
- A friend of ours
- had a band called Coldplay,
- 459
- 00:29:10,828 --> 00:29:14,878
- and they decided they didn't like
- the name, so we just stole it.
- 460
- 00:29:15,048 --> 00:29:17,838
- They said it was a rubbish name
- and they didn't want it anymore.
- 461
- 00:29:18,008 --> 00:29:20,618
- Turned out to be a really hard
- word to pronounce to people.
- 462
- 00:29:20,798 --> 00:29:23,318
- You say you're in a band. "What's
- the band called?" Coldplay.
- 463
- 00:29:23,488 --> 00:29:25,758
- "What Goldblade? Cold Cut?"
- 464
- 00:29:25,928 --> 00:29:28,588
- - It's really hard.
- - Gold Blend.
- 465
- 00:29:28,758 --> 00:29:31,628
- I still don't feel that
- we've quite got the name right,
- 466
- 00:29:31,808 --> 00:29:34,978
- but I think we might
- be a bit late to change it.
- 467
- 00:29:35,158 --> 00:29:38,198
- Every show seemed
- like a milestone really.
- 468
- 00:29:38,378 --> 00:29:40,468
- I remember the feeling
- and the buzz in these rooms,
- 469
- 00:29:40,638 --> 00:29:44,038
- the sweat dripping off the ceiling,
- smoke, and the sticky floors.
- 470
- 00:29:44,508 --> 00:29:46,468
- The toilet circuit,
- as it's known,
- 471
- 00:29:46,648 --> 00:29:49,818
- that kind of made us realize,
- this is gonna be hard work.
- 472
- 00:29:49,998 --> 00:29:52,478
- You do have to put
- the time and effort into it.
- 473
- 00:29:52,648 --> 00:29:54,998
- We were prepared to do that
- for as long as it took,
- 474
- 00:29:55,178 --> 00:29:57,218
- just carrying on
- and getting skanked
- 475
- 00:29:57,398 --> 00:30:00,658
- by money-grabbing,
- shady Camden promoters.
- 476
- 00:30:00,838 --> 00:30:03,448
- I think in the back of my head,
- I must've been thinking,
- 477
- 00:30:03,618 --> 00:30:05,798
- "Yeah, I'd like to be
- involved in this."
- 478
- 00:30:05,968 --> 00:30:08,644
- And then I remember Chris telling me
- how they were getting ripped off,
- 479
- 00:30:08,668 --> 00:30:11,498
- and I thought,
- "Maybe I could do a better job."
- 480
- 00:30:11,668 --> 00:30:14,278
- He dropped out of university
- to come and manage us,
- 481
- 00:30:14,458 --> 00:30:16,938
- which was an extraordinarily
- selfless move.
- 482
- 00:30:17,108 --> 00:30:19,328
- Then it went to the next level.
- 483
- 00:30:19,508 --> 00:30:22,134
- Deep in the lair of rock and
- roll, we find Mr. William Champion.
- 484
- 00:30:22,158 --> 00:30:23,898
- - Bit nervous?
- - Uh, little bit.
- 485
- 00:30:24,078 --> 00:30:26,468
- - Where's the Harvey character?
- - Where?
- 486
- 00:30:26,638 --> 00:30:29,224
- I think I took it pretty seriously
- from the moment I came on board.
- 487
- 00:30:29,248 --> 00:30:32,908
- I had a book, I remember
- called "How to Manage a Band."
- 488
- 00:30:33,078 --> 00:30:35,168
- I had the longest list of people
- to approach,
- 489
- 00:30:35,348 --> 00:30:38,958
- but no one wanted to take my call
- and I was quite down on myself.
- 490
- 00:30:39,398 --> 00:30:42,438
- I think what kept us going was
- the songs kept getting better,
- 491
- 00:30:42,618 --> 00:30:44,358
- the shows kept getting better.
- 492
- 00:30:44,528 --> 00:30:46,968
- I think Chris always had enough
- self-belief for all of us,
- 493
- 00:30:47,138 --> 00:30:48,798
- you know what I mean?
- 494
- 00:30:48,968 --> 00:30:51,358
- The Falcon was the first time
- that Steve Lamacq came.
- 495
- 00:30:51,538 --> 00:30:54,538
- Fuck me. Steve Lamacq's in the
- audience, so we're, like, wow.
- 496
- 00:30:54,718 --> 00:30:57,458
- He's like the Yoda of radio
- in Britain.
- 497
- 00:30:57,628 --> 00:30:59,808
- He came to us
- before anybody else.
- 498
- 00:30:59,978 --> 00:31:02,739
- I couldn't believe it. I started sweating.
- Steve Lamacq, Steve Lamacq.
- 499
- 00:31:02,898 --> 00:31:04,418
- I remember Lamacq calling me.
- 500
- 00:31:04,588 --> 00:31:06,394
- "Phil, this is the first
- time I've ever offered"
- 501
- 00:31:06,418 --> 00:31:09,028
- a Radio 1 evening session
- to an unsigned act.
- 502
- 00:31:09,208 --> 00:31:10,638
- "Are you guys up for it?"
- 503
- 00:31:10,818 --> 00:31:12,178
- - Sorry, mate, thank you.
- - Cheers.
- 504
- 00:31:12,248 --> 00:31:15,948
- Got accosted
- by some autograph hunters.
- 505
- 00:31:16,128 --> 00:31:19,014
- They weren't looking for our autograph.
- They were looking for Bryan Ferry's.
- 506
- 00:31:19,038 --> 00:31:20,388
- Apparently, he lives round here.
- 507
- 00:31:28,268 --> 00:31:30,138
- It's Lamacq
- Live from Radio 1,
- 508
- 00:31:30,318 --> 00:31:32,618
- and we can go across now
- to our Maida Vale studios.
- 509
- 00:31:32,798 --> 00:31:34,888
- Hello, Coldplay?
- 510
- 00:31:35,058 --> 00:31:36,774
- - Hello, Steve.
- - All right, Steve.
- 511
- 00:31:36,798 --> 00:31:38,424
- You had a single out,
- didn't you?
- 512
- 00:31:38,448 --> 00:31:40,008
- I didn't even know
- you had a record out.
- 513
- 00:31:40,108 --> 00:31:41,978
- We put it
- in your pigeonhole.
- 514
- 00:31:42,148 --> 00:31:42,938
- You didn't listen to it, you bastard.
- 515
- 00:31:43,108 --> 00:31:44,808
- I'm not gonna say that.
- 516
- 00:31:44,978 --> 00:31:47,678
- What's the first song
- you're gonna do?
- 517
- 00:31:47,858 --> 00:31:49,654
- We're gonna do a song called
- "Bigger Stronger," which was our single in May.
- 518
- 00:31:49,678 --> 00:31:51,338
- It might've passed
- people by.
- 519
- 00:31:51,508 --> 00:31:53,638
- All right, it's Coldplay then,
- live on Radio 1.
- 520
- 00:31:53,818 --> 00:31:55,038
- Thank you, Steve.
- 521
- 00:32:13,578 --> 00:32:15,488
- It was a really intense
- period of time
- 522
- 00:32:15,668 --> 00:32:18,578
- because we were so determined
- to not fail.
- 523
- 00:32:18,758 --> 00:32:21,148
- We just weren't gonna give up
- until we got somewhere
- 524
- 00:32:21,318 --> 00:32:23,888
- and made an album
- and got a record deal.
- 525
- 00:32:24,068 --> 00:32:26,018
- I could tell the songs...
- They were real songs,
- 526
- 00:32:26,198 --> 00:32:27,978
- and I just thought,
- 527
- 00:32:28,158 --> 00:32:30,558
- "Okay, this could be something
- that becomes part of my life."
- 528
- 00:32:30,638 --> 00:32:33,638
- And then within a few weeks,
- it was everything.
- 529
- 00:32:35,288 --> 00:32:37,688
- I was in the bathroom
- in my mum and dad's house,
- 530
- 00:32:37,858 --> 00:32:38,858
- reading the NME.
- 531
- 00:32:39,038 --> 00:32:41,688
- It said "20 New Bands for 1999."
- 532
- 00:32:41,868 --> 00:32:43,998
- And sure enough
- there was Muse, Elbow,
- 533
- 00:32:44,168 --> 00:32:46,038
- Gay Dad, Bellatrix,
- 534
- 00:32:46,218 --> 00:32:48,568
- and then it came to Coldplay
- and I fainted, basically.
- 535
- 00:32:48,738 --> 00:32:50,738
- Yeah, Chris fell off the toilet.
- 536
- 00:32:50,918 --> 00:32:53,698
- I basically had a Doc Brown
- from Back to the Future moment.
- 537
- 00:32:53,878 --> 00:32:55,918
- And I called Will,
- I called Jon, I called Guy.
- 538
- 00:32:56,098 --> 00:32:57,788
- I was like,
- "Have you seen this?"
- 539
- 00:32:57,968 --> 00:33:00,748
- It said, "Bigger Stronger"
- was their no-key debut release.
- 540
- 00:33:00,928 --> 00:33:03,798
- Expect copies of it to be worth a
- small mortgage come Christmas."
- 541
- 00:33:03,968 --> 00:33:05,408
- Fucking hell, man.
- 542
- 00:33:05,578 --> 00:33:08,238
- One paragraph changed
- our entire lives.
- 543
- 00:33:08,408 --> 00:33:11,808
- The next show after
- that NMEtip...
- 544
- 00:33:11,978 --> 00:33:14,638
- I just remember it
- being rammed wall-to-wall.
- 545
- 00:33:17,418 --> 00:33:19,558
- Things happened
- really quick after that.
- 546
- 00:33:19,728 --> 00:33:22,144
- Loads of different record companies,
- the ones that had stonewalled me,
- 547
- 00:33:22,168 --> 00:33:24,468
- they all came back and said,
- "Oh, found your demo again."
- 548
- 00:33:24,648 --> 00:33:25,778
- It was amazing.
- 549
- 00:33:25,948 --> 00:33:28,558
- Yeah, April 15, 1999,
- 550
- 00:33:28,738 --> 00:33:30,738
- we signed, didn't we,
- in Trafalgar Square.
- 551
- 00:33:30,908 --> 00:33:33,568
- We got loads of offers, but it
- was always gonna be Parlophone,
- 552
- 00:33:33,738 --> 00:33:35,218
- the home of the Beatles.
- 553
- 00:33:35,398 --> 00:33:37,968
- And they had Radiohead,
- they had Supergrass.
- 554
- 00:33:38,138 --> 00:33:39,438
- I remember it very well,
- 555
- 00:33:39,618 --> 00:33:41,358
- the feeling of,
- "We have something now."
- 556
- 00:33:41,528 --> 00:33:45,708
- But it goes back to Chris's
- list. It was a tick done.
- 557
- 00:33:45,888 --> 00:33:47,888
- Now let's get on
- with the important work.
- 558
- 00:33:48,628 --> 00:33:50,058
- I definitely don't remember
- 559
- 00:33:50,238 --> 00:33:52,538
- it being a sense of,
- wow, we've made it.
- 560
- 00:33:52,718 --> 00:33:55,238
- It was more like a sense of,
- okay, this is the beginning.
- 561
- 00:33:59,728 --> 00:34:01,288
- Yeah, boys.
- 562
- 00:34:27,188 --> 00:34:30,318
- We did our first UK tour
- with seven guys on a bus.
- 563
- 00:34:30,498 --> 00:34:32,628
- We couldn't believe our luck.
- 564
- 00:34:32,798 --> 00:34:35,478
- It's amazing to still be doing the
- same thing almost 20 years later.
- 565
- 00:34:42,638 --> 00:34:43,744
- It's been a constant evolution.
- 566
- 00:34:43,768 --> 00:34:45,468
- So, it doesn't feel like
- 567
- 00:34:45,638 --> 00:34:47,948
- we've suddenly jumped from
- playing a small pub in Camden
- 568
- 00:34:48,118 --> 00:34:50,598
- to a massive stadium
- in Saão Paulo.
- 569
- 00:34:50,778 --> 00:34:52,648
- I think sometimes
- it's that gradual process
- 570
- 00:34:52,818 --> 00:34:55,778
- that clouds your feeling
- of quite how far you've come.
- 571
- 00:35:02,878 --> 00:35:06,228
- But the scale of things going
- on around us is absolutely immense.
- 572
- 00:35:06,398 --> 00:35:07,718
- Hoppy, where's Hoppy gone?
- 573
- 00:35:07,838 --> 00:35:09,928
- Would you come up
- on stage a second?
- 574
- 00:35:10,098 --> 00:35:12,708
- Everyone, this is Hoppy, he's been
- doing our guitars for 20 years.
- 575
- 00:35:17,278 --> 00:35:20,198
- He's been with us since we were
- traveling around in a tiny little van,
- 576
- 00:35:20,368 --> 00:35:23,418
- smaller than this stage
- and playing to maybe 20 people.
- 577
- 00:35:23,588 --> 00:35:26,908
- And all that time he's been with us and been
- patient, and so have a lot of our crew,
- 578
- 00:35:26,938 --> 00:35:28,598
- and we wanna send love out
- to them
- 579
- 00:35:28,768 --> 00:35:31,248
- because they work so hard
- to make this thing possible.
- 580
- 00:35:32,168 --> 00:35:34,038
- The crew have been incredible.
- 581
- 00:35:34,208 --> 00:35:36,969
- There's been a handful that have been
- with us from the very beginning.
- 582
- 00:35:37,998 --> 00:35:39,738
- They're legends within
- the industry now,
- 583
- 00:35:39,908 --> 00:35:41,738
- which is wonderful.
- 584
- 00:35:43,088 --> 00:35:44,768
- Everyone has
- this conception of us,
- 585
- 00:35:44,918 --> 00:35:47,658
- sort of like we've been made up
- by a big record company,
- 586
- 00:35:47,828 --> 00:35:49,358
- like some sort
- of indie boy band,
- 587
- 00:35:49,528 --> 00:35:51,618
- but we've done it all
- ourselves really.
- 588
- 00:35:51,788 --> 00:35:55,798
- Our manager's our best mate,
- and we produce the record.
- 589
- 00:35:55,968 --> 00:35:57,278
- That's what we get a buzz off,
- 590
- 00:35:57,448 --> 00:35:59,668
- is the sort of homemade-ness
- of it.
- 591
- 00:35:59,848 --> 00:36:01,458
- But no one really sees that
- 592
- 00:36:01,628 --> 00:36:03,978
- 'cause they see the slick
- TV adverts and stuff.
- 593
- 00:36:05,238 --> 00:36:07,378
- So what other lyrics
- could go on T-shirts?
- 594
- 00:36:07,548 --> 00:36:11,858
- It'd be a bit morose to have "We
- never change, do we?" Wouldn't it?
- 595
- 00:36:12,028 --> 00:36:14,118
- That would be funny
- if you wore it all the time.
- 596
- 00:36:16,118 --> 00:36:19,558
- "Can anybody fly this thing?"
- Good one, Hops.
- 597
- 00:36:19,738 --> 00:36:21,754
- That's my favorite line
- of any of our songs.
- 598
- 00:36:21,778 --> 00:36:22,958
- Yeah, same.
- 599
- 00:36:23,128 --> 00:36:24,648
- When you're on your first album,
- 600
- 00:36:24,828 --> 00:36:28,698
- a 14.99 WHSmith globe is
- about as big as production gets.
- 601
- 00:36:28,868 --> 00:36:31,958
- But now we have, like,
- a multimedia, 3-D thing.
- 602
- 00:36:32,618 --> 00:36:33,788
- What's the scale?
- 603
- 00:36:33,968 --> 00:36:35,788
- One to one.
- 604
- 00:36:35,968 --> 00:36:38,168
- - So, the real thing will be bigger?
- - Twice the size.
- 605
- 00:36:38,228 --> 00:36:39,758
- Twice the size. At least.
- 606
- 00:36:39,928 --> 00:36:41,708
- So, these are
- the tickets we've sold.
- 607
- 00:36:41,888 --> 00:36:43,488
- Pretty much everyone's
- still there.
- 608
- 00:36:43,628 --> 00:36:46,538
- We've just kinda kept
- adding people along the way,
- 609
- 00:36:46,718 --> 00:36:48,068
- one big family.
- 610
- 00:36:48,238 --> 00:36:49,548
- Musically in the past,
- 611
- 00:36:49,718 --> 00:36:51,288
- I think we felt
- a lot of pressure
- 612
- 00:36:51,458 --> 00:36:53,378
- to have everything
- come from the four of us.
- 613
- 00:36:53,548 --> 00:36:55,158
- We started collaborating
- with people
- 614
- 00:36:55,338 --> 00:36:58,028
- just 'cause it opened up
- a new way of making music.
- 615
- 00:37:07,998 --> 00:37:09,608
- Can they film this? Course.
- 616
- 00:37:09,788 --> 00:37:12,218
- It's Chris's phone.
- 617
- 00:37:16,838 --> 00:37:18,878
- We still have
- that homemade philosophy,
- 618
- 00:37:19,058 --> 00:37:22,278
- but now we have
- a very open door policy.
- 619
- 00:37:22,448 --> 00:37:25,018
- Basically if you show up,
- you might get a shot.
- 620
- 00:37:25,188 --> 00:37:28,928
- But it helps if
- you're, like, a legend.
- 621
- 00:37:31,288 --> 00:37:33,108
- Oh, that sounds so great. Thank you.
- 622
- 00:37:33,288 --> 00:37:35,118
- Let's just do
- that right now.Okay.
- 623
- 00:37:35,288 --> 00:37:36,834
- The studio we recorded
- with Beyoncé
- 624
- 00:37:36,858 --> 00:37:38,468
- was actually my son's bedroom,
- 625
- 00:37:38,638 --> 00:37:40,818
- so we had to make it look like
- a studio a little bit.
- 626
- 00:37:40,988 --> 00:37:42,858
- He wants me to do it
- softer again.
- 627
- 00:37:43,168 --> 00:37:46,208
- And just make her feel
- as special as she is.
- 628
- 00:38:47,008 --> 00:38:48,488
- It might be strange
- for some people
- 629
- 00:38:48,668 --> 00:38:50,228
- that Stargate are
- producing a song
- 630
- 00:38:50,408 --> 00:38:53,318
- which Noel Gallagher's on,
- that Beyoncé is also on.
- 631
- 00:38:53,498 --> 00:38:55,628
- Even for me it took a while
- to get my head around it.
- 632
- 00:38:56,108 --> 00:38:59,288
- Oasis was such a pivotal band
- for us in the mid-'90s.
- 633
- 00:39:10,858 --> 00:39:13,274
- So, it was just like, this
- is called A Head Full of Dreams.
- 634
- 00:39:13,298 --> 00:39:15,078
- It should be about
- making dreams come true.
- 635
- 00:39:15,258 --> 00:39:18,438
- And one of our dreams was
- to have Noel play on something.
- 636
- 00:39:33,188 --> 00:39:35,838
- Noel Gallagher, by his own
- admission, is a bit of a grump
- 637
- 00:39:36,018 --> 00:39:39,588
- and doesn't share my worldview
- in any way at all.
- 638
- 00:39:39,758 --> 00:39:42,478
- That's the whole point of the album.
- It's like, everyone's all right,
- 639
- 00:39:42,628 --> 00:39:45,418
- even the people that don't really
- like the concept of this album
- 640
- 00:39:45,588 --> 00:39:47,858
- have shown up to play on it.
- 641
- 00:39:48,028 --> 00:39:49,598
- So, thank you, Noel.
- 642
- 00:39:50,728 --> 00:39:52,598
- I noticed that
- your kids were credited.
- 643
- 00:39:52,768 --> 00:39:54,988
- Right,
- for better or worse,
- 644
- 00:39:55,168 --> 00:39:57,624
- if you want your kids to appear on
- your album you have to strike a deal.
- 645
- 00:39:57,648 --> 00:39:59,258
- First of all, they have
- to like the song.
- 646
- 00:39:59,428 --> 00:40:01,958
- Second of all, there has to be
- maybe a pizza involved.
- 647
- 00:40:02,128 --> 00:40:03,698
- It's basically bribery.
- 648
- 00:40:03,868 --> 00:40:05,568
- That was so beautiful.
- 649
- 00:40:05,738 --> 00:40:07,178
- Generally with
- A Head Full of Dreams,
- 650
- 00:40:07,348 --> 00:40:09,464
- we just asked anyone who was
- around if they would sing.
- 651
- 00:40:09,488 --> 00:40:11,688
- We wanted to try and embrace
- all the things that we love
- 652
- 00:40:11,788 --> 00:40:13,528
- and the people
- that we think are awesome.
- 653
- 00:40:14,138 --> 00:40:15,708
- Just the idea of inclusivity.
- 654
- 00:41:21,648 --> 00:41:24,648
- You started off as four
- friends just playing together,
- 655
- 00:41:24,818 --> 00:41:27,348
- and you became the biggest
- rock band in the world.
- 656
- 00:41:27,518 --> 00:41:31,048
- I was wondering, what did
- you lose in that process?
- 657
- 00:41:31,218 --> 00:41:33,478
- Our drummer.
- 658
- 00:41:35,218 --> 00:41:38,098
- Very early on, I learnt
- that without the five of us,
- 659
- 00:41:38,268 --> 00:41:40,058
- we just can't be Coldplay.
- 660
- 00:41:40,228 --> 00:41:42,968
- I lost sight of
- what makes a band a band.
- 661
- 00:41:43,148 --> 00:41:46,098
- The only thing we have going
- for us is the friendship.
- 662
- 00:41:46,838 --> 00:41:49,458
- And the course of our band
- could've dramatically changed
- 663
- 00:41:49,628 --> 00:41:52,678
- because we basically kicked
- Will out.
- 664
- 00:41:53,288 --> 00:41:55,978
- It was kind of like the darkest
- and worst point
- 665
- 00:41:56,158 --> 00:41:57,808
- in our time together.
- 666
- 00:41:58,898 --> 00:42:01,638
- The excitement, everything we'd
- done was focused on getting signed.
- 667
- 00:42:01,818 --> 00:42:03,378
- We got signed and thought,
- "Oh, God."
- 668
- 00:42:03,558 --> 00:42:05,338
- Yeah, what do we do now?
- 669
- 00:42:06,298 --> 00:42:07,668
- I got to a
- certain point whereby
- 670
- 00:42:07,693 --> 00:42:09,234
- I didn't know enough about
- how to play the drums
- 671
- 00:42:09,258 --> 00:42:11,778
- in order to keep up with the
- music that was being written.
- 672
- 00:42:17,218 --> 00:42:20,218
- I certainly wasn't good enough
- to go through the rigors of recording.
- 673
- 00:42:22,658 --> 00:42:25,408
- Shall we leave it and
- go on to another one? Yeah.
- 674
- 00:42:25,578 --> 00:42:29,318
- We were working with a producer that
- was very meticulous about perfection.
- 675
- 00:42:29,498 --> 00:42:32,108
- And it was all about, "Will's
- drumming isn't up to scratch."
- 676
- 00:42:32,278 --> 00:42:35,198
- And we believed it,
- you know, we believed it.
- 677
- 00:42:36,198 --> 00:42:37,588
- Things got very difficult.
- 678
- 00:42:37,768 --> 00:42:39,108
- Chris and I had a...
- 679
- 00:42:39,288 --> 00:42:42,988
- I left the band,
- which was absolutely miserable.
- 680
- 00:42:43,158 --> 00:42:45,508
- I was just a bit of
- a dick to Will,
- 681
- 00:42:45,688 --> 00:42:48,558
- and, you know, we didn't know
- what we were doing.
- 682
- 00:42:48,728 --> 00:42:53,258
- So, Will left,
- and we did some auditions.
- 683
- 00:42:53,428 --> 00:42:55,348
- And I think probably
- doing those auditions,
- 684
- 00:42:55,518 --> 00:42:58,918
- it really kind of struck us
- that this was awful.
- 685
- 00:42:59,088 --> 00:43:02,788
- I just woke up and I was like,
- "This is totally wrong."
- 686
- 00:43:02,958 --> 00:43:07,358
- You know, we said, "Look, please
- will you come back?" Um...
- 687
- 00:43:07,528 --> 00:43:08,878
- And thank God he did.
- 688
- 00:43:09,058 --> 00:43:10,748
- If we'd gone down
- a different path,
- 689
- 00:43:10,928 --> 00:43:13,888
- I just know that we would have
- at some point failed.
- 690
- 00:43:26,468 --> 00:43:28,338
- This is it. Woof!
- 691
- 00:43:28,508 --> 00:43:30,118
- Coldplay!
- 692
- 00:43:30,298 --> 00:43:32,468
- I am glad it happened
- 693
- 00:43:32,648 --> 00:43:34,948
- because I think it was
- an incredibly important lesson
- 694
- 00:43:35,128 --> 00:43:38,388
- as to what we should
- hold on to most of all.
- 695
- 00:43:38,568 --> 00:43:41,438
- This is what we started,
- this is what we're gonna continue.
- 696
- 00:43:41,608 --> 00:43:42,958
- Will, Will.
- 697
- 00:43:43,128 --> 00:43:45,088
- The drummer always gets
- a lot of stick,
- 698
- 00:43:45,268 --> 00:43:47,918
- if you'll excuse
- the turn of phrase.
- 699
- 00:43:48,098 --> 00:43:52,878
- If I've got any advice
- to give to any aspiring bands,
- 700
- 00:43:53,058 --> 00:43:56,448
- it's just don't fuck around
- with your drummer.
- 701
- 00:43:56,628 --> 00:44:00,848
- A band is a magic thing,
- and everyone improves together.
- 702
- 00:44:01,018 --> 00:44:03,978
- That's what's since given
- Will his power.
- 703
- 00:44:04,158 --> 00:44:06,378
- He's like the base of a statue,
- 704
- 00:44:06,548 --> 00:44:09,328
- and without that,
- the thing topples.
- 705
- 00:44:09,508 --> 00:44:12,288
- The truth of it is that,
- really, without the other three,
- 706
- 00:44:12,468 --> 00:44:14,778
- each of us would be
- kind of screwed.
- 707
- 00:44:16,038 --> 00:44:17,998
- I just couldn't do it on my own.
- 708
- 00:44:19,078 --> 00:44:20,518
- I couldn't do it.
- 709
- 00:44:27,138 --> 00:44:28,528
- Jonny.Yeah.
- 710
- 00:44:34,488 --> 00:44:36,358
- Great track. I love that.
- 711
- 00:44:44,328 --> 00:44:45,498
- Well...
- 712
- 00:44:49,808 --> 00:44:50,988
- This is great.
- 713
- 00:44:53,118 --> 00:44:54,818
- Great. Thanks.
- 714
- 00:44:54,988 --> 00:44:57,908
- Do you want us to speak French?
- Yeah, that would be wonderful.
- 715
- 00:45:00,598 --> 00:45:03,608
- Parachuteswas made at a time
- when we had a lot of emotions
- 716
- 00:45:03,778 --> 00:45:07,178
- without necessarily knowing what
- they were or how to deal with them.
- 717
- 00:45:07,348 --> 00:45:09,218
- Will's mum was really sick.
- 718
- 00:45:09,388 --> 00:45:11,608
- None of us had any idea
- how to help him through that.
- 719
- 00:45:11,788 --> 00:45:13,878
- He didn't know how
- to express it.
- 720
- 00:45:14,048 --> 00:45:17,618
- She was ill for a couple of years and doing
- really well, in fact, got much better
- 721
- 00:45:17,788 --> 00:45:19,838
- and then unfortunately,
- got much worse again.
- 722
- 00:45:20,008 --> 00:45:22,968
- And it's a very strange time.
- 723
- 00:45:23,148 --> 00:45:25,018
- She was in bands.
- She loved music.
- 724
- 00:45:25,188 --> 00:45:26,588
- It was her life, you know.
- 725
- 00:45:26,758 --> 00:45:29,198
- It's telling that where
- I went was to go
- 726
- 00:45:29,368 --> 00:45:31,108
- and hang out with the band.
- 727
- 00:45:31,288 --> 00:45:34,158
- I went up to their flat
- and told them what was going on.
- 728
- 00:45:34,328 --> 00:45:37,288
- I didn't really have any
- kind of tools to deal with it,
- 729
- 00:45:37,468 --> 00:45:41,598
- I think I just threw myself into this
- extraordinary new life that I had.
- 730
- 00:45:41,778 --> 00:45:44,518
- I mean, it's obviously
- massively significant
- 731
- 00:45:44,688 --> 00:45:46,558
- when you lose a parent anyway,
- 732
- 00:45:46,738 --> 00:45:49,258
- but definitely more poignant
- for the fact
- 733
- 00:45:49,428 --> 00:45:51,788
- that it was something that
- she was so passionate about.
- 734
- 00:45:51,958 --> 00:45:54,178
- She died in May of 2000,
- 735
- 00:45:54,348 --> 00:45:56,878
- and our album was released
- in July of that year.
- 736
- 00:45:58,008 --> 00:46:00,008
- You're speaking to us
- in quite a nervous state
- 737
- 00:46:00,178 --> 00:46:02,488
- because we're just
- approaching crunch time.
- 738
- 00:46:02,668 --> 00:46:05,888
- It's kinda make-or-break for us
- in the next two weeks.
- 739
- 00:46:06,058 --> 00:46:07,838
- We'd had quite a hard time
- in the studio
- 740
- 00:46:08,018 --> 00:46:10,888
- and our confidence
- was kind of wavering a bit.
- 741
- 00:46:11,068 --> 00:46:12,808
- We didn't really know
- what we were doing
- 742
- 00:46:12,978 --> 00:46:15,978
- and we didn't really know what
- sort of band we wanted to be.
- 743
- 00:46:16,158 --> 00:46:18,288
- We almost split up over
- those songs.
- 744
- 00:46:18,458 --> 00:46:20,704
- The amount of times we'd play
- and go, "That was really good,"
- 745
- 00:46:20,728 --> 00:46:23,288
- and then we'd listen to it
- and one of us would get upset.
- 746
- 00:46:24,338 --> 00:46:25,558
- Chris called us in and said,
- 747
- 00:46:25,728 --> 00:46:27,728
- "Listen to this,
- I've got this new song."
- 748
- 00:46:27,908 --> 00:46:30,608
- And it was kind of acoustic-y and
- sounded a bit like Neil Young,
- 749
- 00:46:30,778 --> 00:46:32,518
- slow and countryish.
- 750
- 00:46:34,308 --> 00:46:36,348
- Jonny played
- a big, distorted riff over it
- 751
- 00:46:36,528 --> 00:46:38,008
- and then it was born, really.
- 752
- 00:46:41,788 --> 00:46:43,878
- We went through hell
- recording that album.
- 753
- 00:46:44,048 --> 00:46:48,058
- But when our confidence
- or our enthusiasm was waning,
- 754
- 00:46:48,228 --> 00:46:51,108
- it'd always be Chris that was like,
- "We've gotta get this right."
- 755
- 00:46:52,498 --> 00:46:55,328
- We care about we do
- to a stupid degree.
- 756
- 00:46:55,498 --> 00:46:57,238
- We care when people slag us off.
- 757
- 00:46:57,418 --> 00:46:59,738
- We care about being told we're
- not this and we're not that.
- 758
- 00:46:59,898 --> 00:47:01,858
- There were so many
- miserable hours in the studio,
- 759
- 00:47:02,028 --> 00:47:03,728
- but it was all worth it
- in the end.
- 760
- 00:47:03,898 --> 00:47:06,728
- I didn't push for it in any way,
- but it was a lovely gesture
- 761
- 00:47:06,898 --> 00:47:09,778
- that the guys wanted to put a
- little line in the album sleeve
- 762
- 00:47:09,948 --> 00:47:13,038
- about the album
- being dedicated to my mum.
- 763
- 00:47:13,208 --> 00:47:15,348
- So, I'm grateful for that
- 764
- 00:47:15,518 --> 00:47:18,048
- and it's something that
- she would've been very proud of.
- 765
- 00:47:22,268 --> 00:47:26,008
- All right, our album's out!
- Our album's out!
- 766
- 00:47:26,178 --> 00:47:28,398
- We never thought we'd see
- the day, to be honest.
- 767
- 00:47:37,668 --> 00:47:39,337
- Times are not that
- great these days, but
- 768
- 00:47:39,362 --> 00:47:40,864
- there is a beacon of
- light now and again.
- 769
- 00:47:40,888 --> 00:47:42,588
- The album itself is
- called Parachutes,
- 770
- 00:47:42,768 --> 00:47:45,118
- the single is "Yellow,"
- and the band is Coldplay.
- 771
- 00:47:47,638 --> 00:47:50,248
- Two boxes of Kitekat,
- Coldplay Parachutes,
- 772
- 00:47:50,428 --> 00:47:53,118
- some Hobnobs. Please.
- 773
- 00:48:09,838 --> 00:48:14,188
- Mat, hi, it's day one
- of this one-day video shoot.
- 774
- 00:48:14,358 --> 00:48:15,928
- I feel good. I feel skinny.
- 775
- 00:48:23,498 --> 00:48:26,418
- Another Top of the Pops
- debut now for four London lads
- 776
- 00:48:26,588 --> 00:48:28,458
- fresh from their very first headline tour.
- 777
- 00:48:28,638 --> 00:48:29,808
- This is Coldplay.
- 778
- 00:48:32,988 --> 00:48:36,728
- You guys sold over 35,000
- copies in Holland already.
- 779
- 00:48:36,908 --> 00:48:39,868
- Yesterday we just hit
- one million in the world.
- 780
- 00:48:40,038 --> 00:48:44,088
- Three years ago, girls wouldn't
- even sit next to us at a bus stop.
- 781
- 00:48:44,258 --> 00:48:45,788
- And now they surround us.
- 782
- 00:48:51,048 --> 00:48:54,358
- The highest new entry and
- a brand-new number-one album:
- 783
- 00:48:54,528 --> 00:48:57,138
- Coldplay andParachutes.
- 784
- 00:48:57,318 --> 00:49:00,318
- I don't know how to introduce this right,
- but hopefully this time next year,
- 785
- 00:49:00,358 --> 00:49:02,368
- you'll sing along with it
- because it'll be a hit,
- 786
- 00:49:02,538 --> 00:49:03,798
- and it's called "Yellow."
- 787
- 00:49:12,328 --> 00:49:14,068
- Their debut
- album Parachutes
- 788
- 00:49:14,248 --> 00:49:16,598
- has clocked up an incredible
- three million worldwide.
- 789
- 00:49:16,768 --> 00:49:20,778
- Not bad for four lads
- with an average age of 22.
- 790
- 00:50:18,828 --> 00:50:22,228
- Merci tout le monde,
- thank you so much.
- 791
- 00:50:24,798 --> 00:50:27,708
- People always said, "You'll get
- fed up with that song,"
- 792
- 00:50:27,888 --> 00:50:30,018
- and I haven't yet.
- 793
- 00:50:30,188 --> 00:50:33,588
- But I just...
- I'm not sure if it's a classic.
- 794
- 00:50:35,108 --> 00:50:37,678
- My name is Chris,
- the singer of Coldplay.
- 795
- 00:50:37,848 --> 00:50:39,898
- The multimillion platinum
- 796
- 00:50:40,068 --> 00:50:42,638
- super-selling record of all time
- 797
- 00:50:42,808 --> 00:50:44,248
- was Parachutes.
- 798
- 00:50:44,428 --> 00:50:45,818
- And we need to do a follow-up.
- 799
- 00:50:45,988 --> 00:50:47,308
- And in order to do
- this follow-up,
- 800
- 00:50:47,468 --> 00:50:48,948
- we need to work extremely hard.
- 801
- 00:50:49,128 --> 00:50:50,738
- This is the nerve center
- of Coldplay
- 802
- 00:50:50,908 --> 00:50:52,168
- where everything gets done.
- 803
- 00:50:52,348 --> 00:50:54,438
- Let's go in and
- see who's doing what.
- 804
- 00:50:59,478 --> 00:51:01,088
- Will.
- 805
- 00:51:01,268 --> 00:51:03,398
- You're the drummer of Coldplay.
- What are you doing?
- 806
- 00:51:03,568 --> 00:51:05,788
- I'm just doing some work
- on the new album.
- 807
- 00:51:13,628 --> 00:51:16,538
- That has to be his favorite
- sound, an orchestra tuning up.
- 808
- 00:51:21,718 --> 00:51:24,988
- What's the verdict in there?
- It seems like no one really...
- 809
- 00:51:25,158 --> 00:51:27,248
- - We think it's great.
- - Okay.
- 810
- 00:51:27,418 --> 00:51:29,664
- - I mean, there's no room for mediocrity.
- - No, absolutely not.
- 811
- 00:51:29,688 --> 00:51:31,794
- - If it's shit, then tell me.
- - It's fucking great.
- 812
- 00:51:31,818 --> 00:51:33,208
- Keep going, man.
- 813
- 00:51:36,558 --> 00:51:39,438
- But I'll say this even
- if everyone hates it, you know,
- 814
- 00:51:39,608 --> 00:51:41,048
- I wanted us to make a record
- 815
- 00:51:41,218 --> 00:51:43,268
- that we could die happy
- after we've made it,
- 816
- 00:51:43,438 --> 00:51:44,758
- and that's what
- I absolutely mean,
- 817
- 00:51:44,918 --> 00:51:47,098
- and it sounds
- incredibly pretentious,
- 818
- 00:51:47,268 --> 00:51:49,228
- but there's no point
- in being in a band
- 819
- 00:51:49,398 --> 00:51:52,098
- unless you're trying to make
- the best thing ever.
- 820
- 00:52:01,198 --> 00:52:03,458
- The Phil-har-fucking-monic.
- 821
- 00:52:04,458 --> 00:52:06,118
- The Phil Harvey-monic.
- 822
- 00:52:06,288 --> 00:52:08,264
- - What?
- - It sounds great.
- 823
- 00:52:08,288 --> 00:52:10,728
- Just come in with attack,
- as if you really love the band.
- 824
- 00:52:10,898 --> 00:52:12,988
- Imagine.
- 825
- 00:52:13,858 --> 00:52:15,038
- Here we go.
- 826
- 00:52:20,218 --> 00:52:22,778
- I don't think we were satisfied
- with the first album
- 827
- 00:52:22,958 --> 00:52:26,088
- which made us work harder
- for the second one, I think.
- 828
- 00:52:26,268 --> 00:52:28,878
- There's no recipe
- that we were trying to repeat.
- 829
- 00:52:30,918 --> 00:52:32,918
- Oh, man, did you hear it?
- 830
- 00:52:33,098 --> 00:52:36,408
- Did you hear Jonny's riff?
- It's amazing. It's amazing.
- 831
- 00:52:36,578 --> 00:52:39,978
- It's just Guy's bass playing that
- lets the whole shop down. You know?
- 832
- 00:52:41,458 --> 00:52:44,498
- 'Cause you spend all your time
- videoing them, that's why.
- 833
- 00:52:45,498 --> 00:52:46,718
- Guy, please, man.
- 834
- 00:52:47,978 --> 00:52:49,848
- There was much more gusto
- on this
- 835
- 00:52:50,028 --> 00:52:52,678
- to just forget
- your sort of personal, mental,
- 836
- 00:52:52,858 --> 00:52:54,638
- or physical health.
- 837
- 00:52:54,818 --> 00:52:57,818
- We just wouldn't stop until what
- we were trying to do was right.
- 838
- 00:52:57,988 --> 00:53:00,258
- We could get someone else.
- Pino Palladino.
- 839
- 00:53:02,128 --> 00:53:04,168
- Is there a downside?
- I mean, you as...
- 840
- 00:53:04,348 --> 00:53:07,998
- Anyone who says there's a downside
- to what we do is talking utter shit.
- 841
- 00:53:08,178 --> 00:53:10,178
- Of course we stress
- and we worry about it
- 842
- 00:53:10,348 --> 00:53:12,308
- and we put everything possible
- into it
- 843
- 00:53:12,488 --> 00:53:15,048
- at the expense of friendships
- and everything.
- 844
- 00:53:17,358 --> 00:53:19,578
- But there's no downside
- to being in a band.
- 845
- 00:53:19,748 --> 00:53:22,838
- Is there a downside
- though to being the face of the band?
- 846
- 00:53:23,368 --> 00:53:25,408
- No.
- 847
- 00:53:25,588 --> 00:53:28,718
- Chris has done nothing but think
- about the album for seven months,
- 848
- 00:53:28,888 --> 00:53:31,458
- striving for
- absolute perfection.
- 849
- 00:53:31,638 --> 00:53:33,068
- He doesn't sleep really.
- 850
- 00:53:34,288 --> 00:53:36,288
- He's been so incredibly focused,
- 851
- 00:53:36,468 --> 00:53:39,818
- probably to the detriment of a
- lot of other things in his life,
- 852
- 00:53:39,988 --> 00:53:43,728
- whereas I find it quite easy
- to just walk away and go home.
- 853
- 00:53:43,908 --> 00:53:47,274
- Especially when we're mixing and you have to
- listen to the same song 80 times in a day.
- 854
- 00:53:47,298 --> 00:53:49,908
- By then, it all sounds
- exactly the same.
- 855
- 00:53:53,788 --> 00:53:58,048
- Well, Chris just went in one weekend,
- he was in the studio on his own,
- 856
- 00:53:58,228 --> 00:54:01,538
- and then we all came back on the
- Monday and he goes, "I got this song."
- 857
- 00:54:01,708 --> 00:54:04,408
- And we just recorded it
- straight down as it was
- 858
- 00:54:04,578 --> 00:54:06,798
- and we kept that original take.
- 859
- 00:54:08,278 --> 00:54:10,148
- This is new. "Scientist."
- 860
- 00:54:51,148 --> 00:54:53,108
- It was just all there
- straightaway,
- 861
- 00:54:53,278 --> 00:54:56,018
- in such an immediate,
- exciting moment.
- 862
- 00:54:56,198 --> 00:54:57,718
- Best moment
- of the entire record for me
- 863
- 00:54:57,898 --> 00:54:59,378
- was when we'd come back
- to this song
- 864
- 00:54:59,548 --> 00:55:02,248
- and I just heard
- through a wall this riff,
- 865
- 00:55:02,418 --> 00:55:05,158
- and that's my favorite
- bit of music on the record.
- 866
- 00:55:39,978 --> 00:55:41,718
- Hello, boys.
- 867
- 00:55:41,898 --> 00:55:44,768
- Before we went to America
- we just thought, "Really?"
- 868
- 00:55:44,938 --> 00:55:48,468
- "Are we sure? No one's gonna
- like us there."
- 869
- 00:55:48,638 --> 00:55:50,248
- There was no false modesty here.
- 870
- 00:55:50,428 --> 00:55:55,038
- I had no fucking clue how to
- promote a record in the States.
- 871
- 00:55:55,208 --> 00:55:57,518
- I was lucky enough
- to meet Dave Holmes,
- 872
- 00:55:57,688 --> 00:55:59,698
- and he came on
- as the US manager.
- 873
- 00:55:59,868 --> 00:56:03,478
- Very quickly he was just
- the overall mastermind.
- 874
- 00:56:03,658 --> 00:56:06,398
- I was a fan of their music
- from the first couple of EPs,
- 875
- 00:56:06,568 --> 00:56:11,058
- but I'll never forget the day I got
- a master copy of A Rush of Blood.
- 876
- 00:56:11,228 --> 00:56:13,448
- That's when I really
- did believe,
- 877
- 00:56:13,618 --> 00:56:16,148
- "Okay, these guys have the
- ability to go to great heights."
- 878
- 00:56:22,328 --> 00:56:24,328
- Dave very quickly
- took the reins.
- 879
- 00:56:24,498 --> 00:56:27,028
- Now he's just the big daddy.
- 880
- 00:56:27,198 --> 00:56:29,158
- They were up for
- whatever it took.
- 881
- 00:56:29,338 --> 00:56:30,598
- Let's take America.
- 882
- 00:56:30,768 --> 00:56:34,248
- But initially
- the reaction wasn't great.
- 883
- 00:56:34,428 --> 00:56:36,988
- Modern rock radio station
- would put on a big festival,
- 884
- 00:56:37,168 --> 00:56:40,218
- and we'd be sandwiched in between
- some of these really heavy bands,
- 885
- 00:56:40,388 --> 00:56:41,828
- and it was pretty demoralizing.
- 886
- 00:56:41,998 --> 00:56:44,218
- We'd have a lot of projectiles
- thrown at us.
- 887
- 00:56:44,388 --> 00:56:46,828
- Has anyone here got our album?
- 888
- 00:56:46,998 --> 00:56:49,178
- Right, flipping you.
- 889
- 00:56:49,358 --> 00:56:52,308
- Nice job, great. One person.
- 890
- 00:56:52,488 --> 00:56:54,268
- I remember we played
- a radio show in DC
- 891
- 00:56:54,448 --> 00:56:58,408
- and someone chucked a CD at
- Chris and hit him in the head.
- 892
- 00:56:58,578 --> 00:57:01,298
- And came back in the dressing room
- and he went, "Thanks a lot, Dave."
- 893
- 00:57:04,758 --> 00:57:08,068
- I felt awful. Here I was telling
- them that this was a good idea,
- 894
- 00:57:08,238 --> 00:57:11,288
- and I'm sure they were like, "What
- the fuck are we doing this for?"
- 895
- 00:57:15,948 --> 00:57:19,428
- I think at the time we felt completely
- different to everybody else,
- 896
- 00:57:19,598 --> 00:57:24,218
- but I think that actually worked
- for us rather than against us.
- 897
- 00:57:24,388 --> 00:57:26,149
- If somebody said a year
- ago we were gonna do
- 898
- 00:57:26,174 --> 00:57:28,012
- well in America, we
- probably would've laughed,
- 899
- 00:57:28,088 --> 00:57:31,308
- because it's not the kind of music you'd
- associate with the American music scene.
- 900
- 00:57:31,478 --> 00:57:34,398
- They've never said no
- to hard work
- 901
- 00:57:34,568 --> 00:57:36,878
- and I'm sure there were times
- that they hated my guts,
- 902
- 00:57:37,048 --> 00:57:40,798
- and I'm sure there were times when they
- were really wondering if this was worth it.
- 903
- 00:57:40,968 --> 00:57:43,968
- Is this actually gonna result in anything?
- But it did.
- 904
- 00:57:44,148 --> 00:57:47,278
- Plowing across America,
- it felt difficult at the time,
- 905
- 00:57:47,458 --> 00:57:52,068
- but looking back on it now they were,
- in many ways, the most rewarding days,
- 906
- 00:57:52,238 --> 00:57:53,798
- the days I look back
- with most fondness.
- 907
- 00:57:53,938 --> 00:57:56,938
- We were just kids, we didn't
- know what was gonna happen,
- 908
- 00:57:57,118 --> 00:57:58,898
- but we never gave up.
- 909
- 00:58:03,688 --> 00:58:06,078
- So, American success,
- does it matter to you guys?
- 910
- 00:58:06,258 --> 00:58:09,778
- As long as everyone that buys
- one of our records is into it,
- 911
- 00:58:09,958 --> 00:58:13,698
- we don't care if it's 10 million
- people or 30 million people,
- 912
- 00:58:13,868 --> 00:58:17,228
- as long as
- it's over five million people.
- 913
- 00:58:20,178 --> 00:58:22,318
- I'm not gonna sit
- and talk about any bad times
- 914
- 00:58:22,488 --> 00:58:24,148
- because there wasn't
- any bad times really,
- 915
- 00:58:24,318 --> 00:58:26,628
- not in the grand scheme
- of things.
- 916
- 00:58:26,798 --> 00:58:31,718
- But it was weird, you know, when it crossed
- over into that mainstream media thing.
- 917
- 00:58:31,888 --> 00:58:33,628
- We started our band together
- 918
- 00:58:33,808 --> 00:58:37,028
- and there was a democracy and
- this kind of concept of equality,
- 919
- 00:58:37,198 --> 00:58:40,068
- and then it was slightly strange
- when the press focused on Chris
- 920
- 00:58:40,248 --> 00:58:42,598
- and his relationship
- with Gwyneth.
- 921
- 00:58:42,768 --> 00:58:47,168
- I think for a brief moment it
- felt like, "Well, what about us?"
- 922
- 00:58:47,338 --> 00:58:52,088
- But I think it's probably been
- pretty awful for him at times.
- 923
- 00:58:52,258 --> 00:58:54,778
- As amusing
- as it might be at first,
- 924
- 00:58:54,958 --> 00:58:59,488
- after a while, it can feel pretty
- intrusive, pretty claustrophobic.
- 925
- 00:58:59,658 --> 00:59:01,414
- The thing that you've
- dreamt of your whole life
- 926
- 00:59:01,438 --> 00:59:04,618
- has turned out to not be
- quite as happy and as innocent
- 927
- 00:59:04,788 --> 00:59:06,928
- as it might have felt.
- 928
- 00:59:08,668 --> 00:59:12,408
- I always wanted to be in the NME.
- That's all I really cared about.
- 929
- 00:59:12,588 --> 00:59:14,018
- I think we all did.
- 930
- 00:59:14,198 --> 00:59:15,878
- I never really wanted
- any other recognition
- 931
- 00:59:16,018 --> 00:59:18,718
- other than what we were doing
- on a musical level.
- 932
- 00:59:18,898 --> 00:59:21,028
- But tabloid attention,
- as awful as it is,
- 933
- 00:59:21,198 --> 00:59:25,028
- it's a sign that you're
- sort of doing something right.
- 934
- 00:59:31,168 --> 00:59:33,908
- When I get recognized,
- I love it. I do.
- 935
- 00:59:35,348 --> 00:59:37,088
- You know? That's why
- we're at a cool level.
- 936
- 00:59:37,258 --> 00:59:39,788
- Because the novelty
- hasn't worn off
- 937
- 00:59:39,958 --> 00:59:41,528
- and, you know...
- 938
- 00:59:43,308 --> 00:59:45,244
- It's really exciting, 'cause the
- only people that really recognize us
- 939
- 00:59:45,268 --> 00:59:47,048
- are people who actually
- like our record.
- 940
- 00:59:47,228 --> 00:59:49,068
- I don't know how people
- like Madonna or someone
- 941
- 00:59:49,138 --> 00:59:52,228
- could handle that level
- of fame because...
- 942
- 00:59:52,408 --> 00:59:54,838
- you do have to just become
- a recluse, I reckon.
- 943
- 01:00:06,548 --> 01:00:08,508
- Okay, mate, you go first.
- 944
- 01:00:40,018 --> 01:00:42,198
- Sorry, I didn't...
- I'm sorry. I didn't...
- 945
- 01:01:34,598 --> 01:01:36,688
- Music is just everywhere.
- 946
- 01:01:36,858 --> 01:01:38,558
- The whole universe is music.
- 947
- 01:01:38,728 --> 01:01:42,128
- You can just walk down the
- street, it's a kind of music.
- 948
- 01:01:42,298 --> 01:01:45,608
- There's always something
- in the day that's inspiring.
- 949
- 01:01:50,348 --> 01:01:52,138
- When we first started recording,
- 950
- 01:01:52,308 --> 01:01:54,698
- Chris had a little
- four-track cassette machine
- 951
- 01:01:54,878 --> 01:01:57,098
- and that's how
- we put things down.
- 952
- 01:01:57,268 --> 01:02:00,618
- It's before we had mobile phones and
- laptops and stuff to record on.
- 953
- 01:02:07,538 --> 01:02:09,018
- I'll show you my book.
- 954
- 01:02:11,148 --> 01:02:12,808
- Huh? Huh?
- 955
- 01:02:14,108 --> 01:02:16,898
- Look at that. See? Huh?
- 956
- 01:02:17,068 --> 01:02:21,028
- If I should lose that, we'd be...
- What would we do?
- 957
- 01:02:21,208 --> 01:02:23,728
- - What's in the book?
- - Get Travis to give us some songs.
- 958
- 01:02:25,038 --> 01:02:26,428
- Just girls' numbers.
- 959
- 01:02:26,608 --> 01:02:29,518
- And designs for stage costumes.
- 960
- 01:02:32,388 --> 01:02:35,878
- My way of making sense of the day
- is to sit down and sing about it.
- 961
- 01:02:36,048 --> 01:02:38,398
- I suppose
- it's like writing a diary.
- 962
- 01:02:40,788 --> 01:02:42,798
- No one really knows
- where songs come from.
- 963
- 01:02:42,968 --> 01:02:44,748
- You don't know how,
- where, or why,
- 964
- 01:02:44,928 --> 01:02:46,968
- or whether any more will come.
- 965
- 01:02:51,108 --> 01:02:54,808
- All of our biggest ones
- take 10 minutes,
- 966
- 01:02:54,978 --> 01:02:59,588
- but you only get them by sitting for
- hours and hours on the other ones,
- 967
- 01:02:59,768 --> 01:03:03,898
- and then suddenly one comes
- through and you just receive it.
- 968
- 01:03:08,818 --> 01:03:10,418
- You might take it
- to Jonny, Will and Guy,
- 969
- 01:03:10,468 --> 01:03:13,128
- and they add their bits
- and it's like a production line.
- 970
- 01:03:14,998 --> 01:03:18,958
- And sometimes they say, okay,
- and sometimes they say, no way.
- 971
- 01:03:19,138 --> 01:03:21,878
- It's the "okay-no way" spectrum.
- 972
- 01:03:22,048 --> 01:03:24,138
- When we hear a new song,
- 973
- 01:03:24,308 --> 01:03:27,268
- Chris and I have a tendency
- to be relentlessly positive.
- 974
- 01:03:27,448 --> 01:03:29,098
- They're always like,
- 975
- 01:03:29,278 --> 01:03:31,384
- "Yeah, I like it, yes.
- I think it could be good. Yeah."
- 976
- 01:03:31,408 --> 01:03:34,588
- And me and Guy
- are sat, sort of fuming, saying,
- 977
- 01:03:34,758 --> 01:03:38,238
- "Boy, this is a fucking waste of time.
- Let's get on to the next one."
- 978
- 01:03:38,418 --> 01:03:42,328
- It's difficult. If Chris comes in
- with a song, if I'm just not into it,
- 979
- 01:03:42,508 --> 01:03:45,418
- that is the thing
- that I just hate the most.
- 980
- 01:03:45,598 --> 01:03:48,688
- You're putting yourself in the
- firing line for somebody to say,
- 981
- 01:03:48,858 --> 01:03:51,078
- "Well, you go and write
- a better one then."
- 982
- 01:03:51,248 --> 01:03:54,778
- You've got the life or death of the song in
- your hands, 'cause they're quite sensitive.
- 983
- 01:03:54,948 --> 01:03:58,568
- But any kind of inkling that it's not
- the best song they've ever written,
- 984
- 01:03:58,738 --> 01:04:00,478
- means it tends
- to get chucked out.
- 985
- 01:04:00,658 --> 01:04:03,528
- I'd say my hit ratio
- within the group
- 986
- 01:04:03,698 --> 01:04:06,098
- is probably one in ten maybe.
- 987
- 01:04:06,268 --> 01:04:09,268
- Any one of those fucking cunts
- can veto it.
- 988
- 01:04:09,448 --> 01:04:11,618
- It is heartbreaking,
- but they're always right.
- 989
- 01:04:11,798 --> 01:04:13,678
- I know that once we put a song
- out in the world,
- 990
- 01:04:13,708 --> 01:04:15,684
- we're gonna have lots of people
- who say it's not very good,
- 991
- 01:04:15,708 --> 01:04:17,564
- so it's probably best that
- the five of us at least agree.
- 992
- 01:04:17,588 --> 01:04:20,068
- We can't have one of us say,
- "I told you it was shit."
- 993
- 01:04:20,238 --> 01:04:24,508
- ♪ Play him a song
- that you think is fun ♪
- 994

- Oh! That's too good.
- 1002
- 01:04:58,098 --> 01:05:00,448
- Generally, that's how it works.
- Normally, either ideas
- 1003
- 01:05:00,628 --> 01:05:03,758
- or sort of fully formed songs
- always came from Chris.
- 1004
- 01:05:04,808 --> 01:05:07,458
- Most often, he'd play it
- to Jonny first,
- 1005
- 01:05:08,508 --> 01:05:10,458
- Guy would have a listen,
- 1006
- 01:05:10,638 --> 01:05:13,208
- and then it would come to me.
- 1007
- 01:05:13,378 --> 01:05:16,038
- It's our job as,
- you know, the rest of the band
- 1008
- 01:05:16,208 --> 01:05:18,518
- to just basically sort of
- not fuck that up
- 1009
- 01:05:18,688 --> 01:05:20,908
- because it's really good.
- 1010
- 01:05:32,748 --> 01:05:34,358
- We're gonna jump together.
- 1011
- 01:05:34,528 --> 01:05:36,188
- We're gonna jump together.
- 1012
- 01:05:36,358 --> 01:05:40,578
- We gonna... One, two,
- one, two, three, go!
- 1013
- 01:06:22,668 --> 01:06:24,508
- What's it like
- being Jonny in Coldplay?
- 1014
- 01:06:24,668 --> 01:06:28,538
- Uh, I don't know.
- I've never been anyone else.
- 1015
- 01:06:28,718 --> 01:06:31,278
- Well, Jonny is just my hero.
- 1016
- 01:06:31,458 --> 01:06:34,238
- I spend my entire life trying
- to pull him out of the shadows
- 1017
- 01:06:34,418 --> 01:06:37,248
- because he's very humble
- about himself.
- 1018
- 01:06:37,418 --> 01:06:40,378
- I love playing live and I love
- playing the songs to people,
- 1019
- 01:06:40,548 --> 01:06:44,648
- but I love making new music
- most of all, I think.
- 1020
- 01:06:44,818 --> 01:06:46,338
- Okay, ready?
- 1021
- 01:06:46,518 --> 01:06:48,078
- Two, three, four.
- 1022
- 01:06:48,258 --> 01:06:50,388
- ♪ Lovers ♪
- 1023
- 01:06:50,558 --> 01:06:53,348
- Jonny was always very shy,
- but with no reason to be,
- 1024
- 01:06:53,518 --> 01:06:56,048
- because he was
- the most talented.
- 1025
- 01:06:56,218 --> 01:06:58,178
- That's the key
- of our band, really,
- 1026
- 01:06:58,348 --> 01:07:01,788
- the way that Chris's melodies
- and Jonny's guitar sit together.
- 1027
- 01:07:01,968 --> 01:07:04,318
- No!
- 1028
- 01:07:04,488 --> 01:07:07,618
- Oh, fucking hell.
- Is there a keyboard anywhere?
- 1029
- 01:07:07,798 --> 01:07:09,538
- Our personalities
- fitted together.
- 1030
- 01:07:09,708 --> 01:07:11,408
- We couldn't have two of us
- like Chris,
- 1031
- 01:07:11,588 --> 01:07:14,328
- and we couldn't have two of us
- like me. It just wouldn't work.
- 1032
- 01:07:14,498 --> 01:07:16,338
- It's gonna be great
- when we record it properly.
- 1033
- 01:07:18,328 --> 01:07:19,848
- The songwriting
- has changed, I think.
- 1034
- 01:07:20,028 --> 01:07:21,548
- These days it depends
- who's there,
- 1035
- 01:07:21,728 --> 01:07:23,608
- because we live in different
- parts of the world.
- 1036
- 01:07:23,678 --> 01:07:26,168
- Did it get anything in there?
- 1037
- 01:07:26,338 --> 01:07:28,428
- When we started recording
- A Head Full of Dreams,
- 1038
- 01:07:28,598 --> 01:07:30,648
- Guy, Will, and I
- were in the studio in London,
- 1039
- 01:07:30,818 --> 01:07:32,778
- working on a track
- which was "Legends,"
- 1040
- 01:07:32,948 --> 01:07:35,298
- and we could never quite
- get it right.
- 1041
- 01:07:35,478 --> 01:07:37,698
- I went to LA,
- worked in Chris's house,
- 1042
- 01:07:37,868 --> 01:07:39,698
- trying to get
- a good guitar riff for it.
- 1043
- 01:07:39,868 --> 01:07:42,958
- Just sort of
- fumbling around in the dark.
- 1044
- 01:07:43,138 --> 01:07:46,878
- He started playing
- this melody, like, slow.
- 1045
- 01:07:53,798 --> 01:07:55,408
- His guitar just gets me going.
- 1046
- 01:07:55,588 --> 01:07:58,108
- I was like, there's something
- amazing about that.
- 1047
- 01:07:58,278 --> 01:08:01,398
- You could take the rest of the song away
- and I don't think anyone would notice.
- 1048
- 01:08:05,678 --> 01:08:06,988
- And that's what happened.
- 1049
- 01:08:19,698 --> 01:08:23,218
- Okay, trust me everybody.
- This is gonna be great.
- 1050
- 01:08:26,138 --> 01:08:28,308
- Everybody go low.
- 1051
- 01:08:28,488 --> 01:08:30,268
- Everybody get down. Shh!
- 1052
- 01:08:30,448 --> 01:08:32,578
- Everybody go low.
- 1053
- 01:08:32,748 --> 01:08:34,358
- Stay low.
- 1054
- 01:08:35,498 --> 01:08:38,278
- One, two, one, two...
- 1055
- 01:09:06,218 --> 01:09:08,438
- Thank you, everybody.
- 1056
- 01:09:08,618 --> 01:09:12,748
- Okay, hands up, who wants "Adventure
- Of A Lifetime" to be our first single?
- 1057
- 01:09:12,918 --> 01:09:16,488
- Our friendship's really changed,
- definitely, from the early days.
- 1058
- 01:09:16,668 --> 01:09:18,888
- Okay, that's great.
- So, we agree.
- 1059
- 01:09:19,058 --> 01:09:22,238
- It's very free communication.
- We kind of talk every day.
- 1060
- 01:09:22,408 --> 01:09:25,848
- But, yeah, that can involve
- a lot of locking of horns.
- 1061
- 01:09:33,858 --> 01:09:36,988
- Often the atmosphere in the
- studio is very tense, yeah.
- 1062
- 01:09:37,168 --> 01:09:40,258
- And there's lots of laughter,
- but it can get quite heavy.
- 1063
- 01:09:47,088 --> 01:09:52,568
- Sometimes I get called in and there's,
- like, stony faces and no one's speaking,
- 1064
- 01:09:52,748 --> 01:09:54,764
- and I can tell they're in
- the middle of some argument.
- 1065
- 01:09:54,788 --> 01:09:58,058
- That's the bit of my job
- that's hard.
- 1066
- 01:09:59,968 --> 01:10:02,058
- Hey, Phil?
- 1067
- 01:10:03,318 --> 01:10:05,588
- We've had a terrible fight.
- 1068
- 01:10:06,458 --> 01:10:08,538
- We had a terrible fight.
- 1069
- 01:10:08,718 --> 01:10:11,214
- Sometimes I look back and I
- don't think I've changed at all.
- 1070
- 01:10:11,238 --> 01:10:14,158
- I just don't. Not in the way
- that Chris has changed.
- 1071
- 01:10:14,328 --> 01:10:15,768
- He's evolved so much
- as a person.
- 1072
- 01:10:15,938 --> 01:10:18,004
- But then there's loads of things
- that haven't changed,
- 1073
- 01:10:18,028 --> 01:10:20,558
- like his ability to make me
- laugh like no one else.
- 1074
- 01:10:20,728 --> 01:10:22,648
- If you look at this Venn
- diagram that I'm doing,
- 1075
- 01:10:22,818 --> 01:10:26,608
- it splits the set into
- old Coldplay songs,
- 1076
- 01:10:26,778 --> 01:10:28,428
- new Coldplay songs.
- 1077
- 01:10:28,608 --> 01:10:30,454
- What do you think about
- singles to album track ratio?
- 1078
- 01:10:30,478 --> 01:10:34,218
- Well, at the moment,
- it's like a 60/40 split of new.
- 1079
- 01:10:34,398 --> 01:10:38,748
- But if you minus the metric we took from
- the first quarter against merch sales,
- 1080
- 01:10:38,918 --> 01:10:43,448
- it's the basic fractal
- that we learnt from REM and U2,
- 1081
- 01:10:43,618 --> 01:10:46,368
- who we now refer to as RE2,
- 1082
- 01:10:46,538 --> 01:10:48,238
- the band
- that we're aspiring to be,
- 1083
- 01:10:48,408 --> 01:10:51,628
- plus Radiohead and Beyoncé
- and Jay-Z at the same time,
- 1084
- 01:10:51,808 --> 01:10:53,288
- moving through to Young Thug.
- 1085
- 01:10:53,458 --> 01:10:56,548
- That leaves us with this,
- which is our set list.
- 1086
- 01:10:57,458 --> 01:10:59,068
- There's definite pros and cons
- 1087
- 01:10:59,248 --> 01:11:01,378
- to working with someone
- that you're that close with.
- 1088
- 01:11:01,548 --> 01:11:04,248
- Chris would be the first
- to say that as well.
- 1089
- 01:11:04,428 --> 01:11:07,518
- It can get a bit messy,
- definitely.
- 1090
- 01:11:10,168 --> 01:11:14,218
- Well, I've left the band
- probably two times, I think.
- 1091
- 01:11:14,388 --> 01:11:18,568
- The first time was 'cause I got really ill.
- It was basically exhaustion.
- 1092
- 01:11:18,748 --> 01:11:20,958
- I'll always remember. It was
- the day of the Brit Awards.
- 1093
- 01:11:21,138 --> 01:11:22,918
- The Best British Group.
- 1094
- 01:11:23,098 --> 01:11:25,398
- - Yes!
- - Coldplay.
- 1095
- 01:11:25,578 --> 01:11:28,148
- We won Best Band and Best Album
- 1096
- 01:11:28,318 --> 01:11:29,968
- and I'd had
- this feeling inside me
- 1097
- 01:11:30,148 --> 01:11:32,448
- that it should be
- the best day of my life,
- 1098
- 01:11:32,628 --> 01:11:36,068
- but I just felt
- so totally exhausted.
- 1099
- 01:11:36,238 --> 01:11:38,588
- It was not a happy memory
- at all.
- 1100
- 01:11:38,768 --> 01:11:41,678
- This is the weirdest thing
- that's ever happened to us.
- 1101
- 01:11:41,858 --> 01:11:45,638
- And we're really made up.
- So thank you very much.
- 1102
- 01:11:45,818 --> 01:11:47,428
- But then I came back
- 1103
- 01:11:47,598 --> 01:11:49,248
- and we made
- A Rush of Blood to the Head.
- 1104
- 01:11:49,428 --> 01:11:53,388
- That was even more stressful
- than the first one
- 1105
- 01:11:53,558 --> 01:11:57,128
- and my relationship with Chris
- in particular was quite strained
- 1106
- 01:11:57,308 --> 01:11:59,178
- and something had to give.
- 1107
- 01:12:07,838 --> 01:12:12,578
- I think the dynamic between singer
- and manager is a specific one,
- 1108
- 01:12:12,758 --> 01:12:15,498
- and it just didn't really
- suit our friendship.
- 1109
- 01:12:15,668 --> 01:12:17,588
- So I quit.
- 1110
- 01:12:18,368 --> 01:12:20,108
- Phil got a bit burnt out
- 1111
- 01:12:20,288 --> 01:12:22,898
- and wanted to do
- something different.
- 1112
- 01:12:23,068 --> 01:12:25,938
- He moved almost as far away
- from us as he possibly could
- 1113
- 01:12:26,118 --> 01:12:29,418
- by going to South America
- and then Australia.
- 1114
- 01:12:29,598 --> 01:12:32,078
- I think he was trying
- to tell us something.
- 1115
- 01:12:32,248 --> 01:12:33,908
- He wasn't with us for one album,
- 1116
- 01:12:34,078 --> 01:12:36,818
- and that was
- when we sorely missed him.
- 1117
- 01:12:36,998 --> 01:12:41,308
- We made decisions that weren't
- as good as they could've been.
- 1118
- 01:12:41,478 --> 01:12:43,118
- We seem to sort of give up
- before we've...
- 1119
- 01:12:43,258 --> 01:12:44,788
- No, it's just...
- Does that sound right?
- 1120
- 01:12:44,958 --> 01:12:46,828
- I don't understand.
- Is that the right pattern?
- 1121
- 01:12:47,008 --> 01:12:50,098
- I don't think we were
- very functional in that period.
- 1122
- 01:12:50,268 --> 01:12:52,798
- I think we lost our way
- a bit, yes.
- 1123
- 01:12:52,968 --> 01:12:54,928
- I think we felt a lot
- of pressure
- 1124
- 01:12:55,098 --> 01:12:57,148
- to make some kind
- of grand album.
- 1125
- 01:12:57,318 --> 01:12:59,498
- There were strange headlines
- in the press
- 1126
- 01:12:59,668 --> 01:13:01,978
- about the EMI share price
- and all of that stuff.
- 1127
- 01:13:02,148 --> 01:13:04,628
- We didn't even know what
- a share price was back then.
- 1128
- 01:13:04,808 --> 01:13:08,718
- We spent day after day after day
- of getting nowhere.
- 1129
- 01:13:08,898 --> 01:13:11,208
- It came out in addictions
- and it came out in tension,
- 1130
- 01:13:11,378 --> 01:13:13,858
- and at the time,
- it was a real struggle.
- 1131
- 01:13:14,028 --> 01:13:17,208
- One year later and we've got
- precisely nothing finished.
- 1132
- 01:13:18,948 --> 01:13:21,348
- What a fucking cunt. Bollocks!
- 1133
- 01:13:22,738 --> 01:13:25,048
- And you don't film
- any of the arguments.
- 1134
- 01:13:25,218 --> 01:13:26,698
- There was a lot of questioning,
- 1135
- 01:13:26,868 --> 01:13:28,628
- like, "Should we do this,
- should we do that?"
- 1136
- 01:13:28,738 --> 01:13:30,268
- So, it's shite.
- 1137
- 01:13:32,308 --> 01:13:34,318
- We have to start
- all of it again.
- 1138
- 01:13:35,318 --> 01:13:38,228
- We've lost the plot!
- 1139
- 01:13:38,408 --> 01:13:41,018
- I was so worried about
- what everyone else thought.
- 1140
- 01:13:41,188 --> 01:13:43,278
- We just totally spun out,
- you know.
- 1141
- 01:13:43,458 --> 01:13:45,018
- So, what do you want me
- to do, then?
- 1142
- 01:13:45,198 --> 01:13:46,848
- In general,
- the bigger you get as a band,
- 1143
- 01:13:47,018 --> 01:13:50,548
- all the kind of machinery around
- you gets bigger and bigger
- 1144
- 01:13:50,718 --> 01:13:52,318
- and there's more things
- to get in the way
- 1145
- 01:13:52,378 --> 01:13:55,248
- of just four people playing
- music together.
- 1146
- 01:14:00,118 --> 01:14:01,858
- No, no, no.
- 1147
- 01:14:02,038 --> 01:14:05,298
- You've gotta do that... thing for that verse.
- 1148
- 01:14:05,478 --> 01:14:07,648
- That was the first time
- we'd been in that situation
- 1149
- 01:14:07,828 --> 01:14:09,918
- and didn't know how to deal with
- all of that stuff.
- 1150
- 01:14:10,088 --> 01:14:12,528
- If Phil had been around,
- it might have been different.
- 1151
- 01:14:12,698 --> 01:14:14,698
- That's just normal, is it?
- 1152
- 01:14:56,878 --> 01:15:00,308
- You don't let me sing
- any nouns or things.
- 1153
- 01:15:01,748 --> 01:15:04,798
- Like anything that's a thing
- is immediately banned.
- 1154
- 01:15:08,838 --> 01:15:11,328
- And freedom. You hate
- riffs, freedom and nouns.
- 1155
- 01:15:21,198 --> 01:15:24,858
- I think the process was probably the least
- enjoyable of all our records, definitely.
- 1156
- 01:15:25,028 --> 01:15:27,988
- We were going through
- some weird shit that time.
- 1157
- 01:15:28,168 --> 01:15:29,468
- But Dave was amazing,
- 1158
- 01:15:29,648 --> 01:15:31,388
- and luckily
- we had the song "Fix You"
- 1159
- 01:15:31,558 --> 01:15:33,298
- to get us through that period.
- 1160
- 01:15:34,568 --> 01:15:37,438
- What's that you sing at the end?
- What are the lyrics?
- 1161
- 01:15:37,608 --> 01:15:39,048
- Tears stream down your face
- 1162
- 01:15:39,218 --> 01:15:41,788
- when you lose something
- you can't replace.
- 1163
- 01:15:41,958 --> 01:15:45,228
- Tears stream down your face
- and I, I, I, I, I...
- 1164
- 01:15:45,398 --> 01:15:46,668
- Right.
- 1165
- 01:15:48,318 --> 01:15:50,098
- - Yeah.
- - Is that shit?
- 1166
- 01:15:50,278 --> 01:15:51,708
- No, it sounds good.
- 1167
- 01:15:51,888 --> 01:15:53,758
- I just was wondering
- if it could be sort of
- 1168
- 01:15:53,928 --> 01:15:56,538
- made into something
- which makes a bit more sense.
- 1169
- 01:15:57,808 --> 01:15:59,628
- Can you take a tiny bit
- of reverb off?
- 1170
- 01:16:00,328 --> 01:16:01,808
- That's cool, thanks.
- 1171
- 01:18:13,248 --> 01:18:15,508
- That's the most self-conscious
- I've ever been
- 1172
- 01:18:15,678 --> 01:18:18,118
- about people
- not liking what we were doing
- 1173
- 01:18:18,288 --> 01:18:20,648
- because I wasn't really sure
- if I liked it.
- 1174
- 01:18:20,818 --> 01:18:23,298
- It was a strange period of time.
- 1175
- 01:18:28,348 --> 01:18:31,698
- When you read something
- that is critical,
- 1176
- 01:18:31,868 --> 01:18:33,308
- you always give it
- much more weight
- 1177
- 01:18:33,478 --> 01:18:36,138
- than anything you read
- that's kind.
- 1178
- 01:18:36,308 --> 01:18:38,968
- And they can write
- a whole article that's nice
- 1179
- 01:18:39,138 --> 01:18:41,318
- and just have one line
- that's a bit shitty,
- 1180
- 01:18:41,488 --> 01:18:44,058
- and that's the only line
- you'll remember.
- 1181
- 01:18:44,228 --> 01:18:46,408
- Alan McGee of Creation Records
- 1182
- 01:18:46,578 --> 01:18:50,938
- has come out and said that your
- music was bed wetters' music.
- 1183
- 01:18:51,108 --> 01:18:53,238
- How did you feel about that?
- What was your response?
- 1184
- 01:18:53,418 --> 01:18:55,418
- We wet our beds.
- 1185
- 01:18:57,118 --> 01:18:59,068
- You can't please everybody,
- right?
- 1186
- 01:18:59,248 --> 01:19:01,858
- If that's what you're chasing
- you're just gonna fail,
- 1187
- 01:19:02,028 --> 01:19:04,428
- because it's just not possible.
- 1188
- 01:19:09,478 --> 01:19:10,738
- Shucks.
- 1189
- 01:19:21,098 --> 01:19:22,748
- It's okay. I get it.
- 1190
- 01:19:22,918 --> 01:19:25,708
- I think it's important
- to have figures of ridicule.
- 1191
- 01:19:25,878 --> 01:19:27,538
- I don't mind being one of them.
- 1192
- 01:19:27,708 --> 01:19:29,644
- The only time it's awkward
- is if you bump into someone
- 1193
- 01:19:29,668 --> 01:19:32,058
- who's made a joke about you.
- 1194
- 01:19:32,238 --> 01:19:35,198
- In the old days, I used to
- get really angry.
- 1195
- 01:19:35,368 --> 01:19:37,588
- But I changed
- my whole philosophy.
- 1196
- 01:19:37,768 --> 01:19:40,808
- The only thing I complain about
- in our job is that
- 1197
- 01:19:40,988 --> 01:19:42,574
- if you're the sort of person
- who worries,
- 1198
- 01:19:42,598 --> 01:19:45,288
- you have so much time
- to sit and worry
- 1199
- 01:19:45,468 --> 01:19:47,038
- that you just worry
- and worry and worry.
- 1200
- 01:19:47,208 --> 01:19:49,858
- I spent quite a lot of years
- being anxious
- 1201
- 01:19:50,038 --> 01:19:51,818
- about the people
- that didn't like us
- 1202
- 01:19:51,998 --> 01:19:55,038
- without focusing enough
- on the people that do.
- 1203
- 01:19:55,218 --> 01:19:56,308
- It's hard to explain.
- 1204
- 01:20:00,268 --> 01:20:01,268
- I'm not.
- 1205
- 01:20:01,348 --> 01:20:02,788
- You are. Apart from...
- 1206
- 01:20:09,058 --> 01:20:10,888
- No, I know, Guy.
- 1207
- 01:20:11,058 --> 01:20:13,798
- But if I wasn't a perfectionist,
- we'd still be playing the Falcon.
- 1208
- 01:20:13,978 --> 01:20:15,978
- So? But you'd be doing it
- very well.
- 1209
- 01:20:17,408 --> 01:20:19,628
- I think everything
- we've done is shit.
- 1210
- 01:20:19,808 --> 01:20:22,198
- That's why I keep
- trying to do new stuff.
- 1211
- 01:20:25,198 --> 01:20:29,338
- That's my gut feeling. That's what
- fires you up to do the next thing.
- 1212
- 01:20:29,508 --> 01:20:32,948
- In the early days, I think there
- used to be a lot more arguments,
- 1213
- 01:20:33,128 --> 01:20:35,338
- particularly between
- Chris and myself.
- 1214
- 01:20:35,518 --> 01:20:37,998
- I was probably much
- more opinionated back then,
- 1215
- 01:20:38,168 --> 01:20:41,438
- which I think was probably
- a huge pain in the ass
- 1216
- 01:20:41,608 --> 01:20:44,048
- for everyone.
- 1217
- 01:20:44,218 --> 01:20:45,670
- I don't know if I was
- trying to get away from
- 1218
- 01:20:45,695 --> 01:20:47,154
- myself or if I wasn't
- comfortable with myself,
- 1219
- 01:20:47,178 --> 01:20:50,578
- but I definitely had
- a drinking problem.
- 1220
- 01:20:50,748 --> 01:20:55,228
- It doesn't make for
- the happiest of times.
- 1221
- 01:20:55,408 --> 01:20:57,798
- Chris definitely
- wears his heart on his sleeve.
- 1222
- 01:20:57,978 --> 01:21:02,978
- Will, Jonny, and myself are
- much more guarded emotionally,
- 1223
- 01:21:03,158 --> 01:21:05,288
- and that's probably
- why so many bands have split up,
- 1224
- 01:21:05,458 --> 01:21:10,468
- because they haven't learned how to
- accept each other's differences.
- 1225
- 01:21:10,638 --> 01:21:13,768
- There was a time where I was like,
- "Everyone needs to just follow my feelings."
- 1226
- 01:21:13,948 --> 01:21:16,364
- At a certain point I was like,
- "If this carries on like this",
- 1227
- 01:21:16,388 --> 01:21:18,468
- then one of them's gonna leave."
- 1228
- 01:21:21,088 --> 01:21:25,348
- It might be like, "We don't wanna deal
- with this temperamental idiot all day."
- 1229
- 01:21:25,528 --> 01:21:27,088
- ♪ What a cunt ♪
- 1230
- 01:21:27,268 --> 01:21:30,528
- Only 32 concerts to go
- before the end of Coldplay.
- 1231
- 01:21:34,058 --> 01:21:35,984
- They've got their own feelings
- and their own lives.
- 1232
- 01:21:36,008 --> 01:21:38,228
- Even though
- they are much harder to read,
- 1233
- 01:21:38,408 --> 01:21:41,108
- but they still have
- highs and lows.
- 1234
- 01:21:41,278 --> 01:21:43,328
- Fucking mic stand
- keeps hitting me in the face.
- 1235
- 01:21:43,498 --> 01:21:45,408
- It's like singing
- into Naseem Hamed.
- 1236
- 01:21:45,588 --> 01:21:48,458
- I'm learning how to deal with the
- peaks and the troughs a bit better.
- 1237
- 01:21:48,638 --> 01:21:50,858
- Please sort it out.Understood.
- 1238
- 01:21:51,028 --> 01:21:54,858
- Every cliché that there is,
- we've been through it.
- 1239
- 01:21:55,028 --> 01:21:57,468
- We just never felt like
- it was important to talk about.
- 1240
- 01:21:57,638 --> 01:22:00,558
- Any group of five men
- who have got to their late 30s
- 1241
- 01:22:00,728 --> 01:22:03,818
- probably gonna have been through
- depression, addiction,
- 1242
- 01:22:03,998 --> 01:22:05,428
- divorce, everything,
- 1243
- 01:22:05,608 --> 01:22:07,218
- even if it was five accountants.
- 1244
- 01:22:07,388 --> 01:22:09,478
- We've been through
- so much together.
- 1245
- 01:22:09,658 --> 01:22:12,298
- But what's incredible to me is that
- we've stuck together as a pack.
- 1246
- 01:22:33,068 --> 01:22:35,378
- Everywhere we go,
- whatever we're going through,
- 1247
- 01:22:35,548 --> 01:22:37,948
- we can close the door
- and sit down as a group
- 1248
- 01:22:38,118 --> 01:22:41,558
- and either laugh about it
- or commiserate or celebrate.
- 1249
- 01:22:50,038 --> 01:22:52,128
- I could sit with
- Jon, Will and Guy and Phil
- 1250
- 01:22:52,308 --> 01:22:53,608
- just for hours right now
- 1251
- 01:22:53,788 --> 01:22:55,568
- and just talk about anything.
- 1252
- 01:23:17,028 --> 01:23:20,898
- I think that X&Y had been
- a bit of a slog for all of us,
- 1253
- 01:23:21,078 --> 01:23:22,598
- whereas getting back
- in the studio
- 1254
- 01:23:22,768 --> 01:23:24,688
- and doing Viva
- became exciting again.
- 1255
- 01:23:29,338 --> 01:23:31,908
- We definitely missed Phil and we
- realized how much we missed him
- 1256
- 01:23:32,088 --> 01:23:34,438
- when he came back into the fold.
- 1257
- 01:23:34,608 --> 01:23:37,348
- Yeah, Phil came back in
- in glorious technicolor again,
- 1258
- 01:23:37,528 --> 01:23:39,918
- and that's when we bought
- our own little place
- 1259
- 01:23:40,088 --> 01:23:43,448
- and really tried to
- reconnect as friends.
- 1260
- 01:23:43,618 --> 01:23:45,928
- When I came back, I was
- not coming back as a manager.
- 1261
- 01:23:46,098 --> 01:23:48,448
- Dave Holmes was doing that
- much better than I ever could.
- 1262
- 01:23:48,618 --> 01:23:50,708
- I was coming back as a bandmate,
- 1263
- 01:23:50,888 --> 01:23:52,408
- just doing all the fun stuff.
- 1264
- 01:23:52,588 --> 01:23:54,888
- We finally got our band home.
- 1265
- 01:23:55,068 --> 01:23:58,158
- That really brought
- everything back into focus.
- 1266
- 01:23:58,328 --> 01:24:01,158
- You know, it was
- our own studio, our own HQ.
- 1267
- 01:24:04,118 --> 01:24:07,028
- It was new territory for us. We
- didn't really know how to behave.
- 1268
- 01:24:07,208 --> 01:24:09,688
- I think we wanted a producer
- to give us some ideas about
- 1269
- 01:24:09,858 --> 01:24:12,868
- how we can present
- the next phase of our band.
- 1270
- 01:24:13,038 --> 01:24:16,568
- We wanted to find someone
- who had the same effect on us
- 1271
- 01:24:16,738 --> 01:24:20,918
- as Brian Eno did on U2 and
- David Bowie and Talking Heads,
- 1272
- 01:24:21,088 --> 01:24:23,008
- all these incredible bands
- that we love.
- 1273
- 01:24:23,178 --> 01:24:26,658
- And so we asked Brian,
- "Do you know anyone?"
- 1274
- 01:24:26,838 --> 01:24:29,398
- And he said, "Well, I wouldn't
- mind having a go."
- 1275
- 01:24:29,578 --> 01:24:31,408
- So, we were looking for
- the new Brian Eno
- 1276
- 01:24:31,578 --> 01:24:34,408
- and we found the old Brian Eno.
- 1277
- 01:24:36,798 --> 01:24:38,518
- I think he only becomes
- interested in a band
- 1278
- 01:24:38,668 --> 01:24:41,288
- when they get massive
- and terrible at the same time,
- 1279
- 01:24:41,458 --> 01:24:45,068
- because he sees an opportunity to
- keep you massive, but make you good.
- 1280
- 01:24:46,508 --> 01:24:48,988
- It's very much like a having
- a lovely, cuddly headmaster
- 1281
- 01:24:49,158 --> 01:24:52,248
- quietly directing proceedings
- without ever raising his voice.
- 1282
- 01:24:52,428 --> 01:24:53,624
- He's like a sort of
- wizard-type figure,
- 1283
- 01:24:53,648 --> 01:24:55,738
- like a Gandalf or a Dumbledore
- 1284
- 01:24:55,908 --> 01:24:58,478
- who comes in and sprinkles
- magic all over the place
- 1285
- 01:24:58,648 --> 01:25:00,088
- and then disappears for a bit,
- 1286
- 01:25:00,258 --> 01:25:02,258
- or says,
- "I really like that song,
- 1287
- 01:25:02,438 --> 01:25:04,918
- but have you thought about playing
- it backwards and in French?"
- 1288
- 01:25:12,138 --> 01:25:14,928
- He's a relentless experimenter.
- 1289
- 01:25:15,098 --> 01:25:17,888
- He's not afraid for it to sound silly.
- He's not afraid to fail.
- 1290
- 01:25:18,058 --> 01:25:21,938
- It can be sublimely ridiculous,
- some of the stuff that we're doing.
- 1291
- 01:25:26,328 --> 01:25:28,638
- He kicked me out of the band
- for a few weeks.
- 1292
- 01:25:28,808 --> 01:25:30,898
- At that time,
- I could be quite strong-minded
- 1293
- 01:25:31,078 --> 01:25:32,638
- in terms of it has
- to sound like this.
- 1294
- 01:25:32,818 --> 01:25:35,468
- So, he taught us to let everyone
- get to the end of their idea
- 1295
- 01:25:35,638 --> 01:25:37,728
- before any judgment is passed.
- 1296
- 01:25:46,528 --> 01:25:49,398
- We went to Barcelona and we did
- a sort of singing trip with him,
- 1297
- 01:25:49,568 --> 01:25:52,048
- which is one of
- the key elements on that record,
- 1298
- 01:25:52,228 --> 01:25:54,358
- the sound of lots of
- voices together.
- 1299
- 01:25:56,668 --> 01:26:00,708
- The thing that sparked Viva La Vida
- was the big sing-along chants.
- 1300
- 01:26:05,148 --> 01:26:08,328
- The most purely joyous bit
- for me is that communal thing.
- 1301
- 01:26:08,498 --> 01:26:10,898
- What's the next one?
- Oh, "Viva La Vida"?
- 1302
- 01:26:11,068 --> 01:26:12,768
- Nothing can beat a chant live.
- 1303
- 01:26:15,028 --> 01:26:17,118
- I love sing-alongs
- more than anything.
- 1304
- 01:27:08,998 --> 01:27:12,048
- Through the course of
- the next album, Mylo Xyloto,
- 1305
- 01:27:12,218 --> 01:27:15,738
- it was pretty clear that I was doing
- well in some parts of my life
- 1306
- 01:27:15,918 --> 01:27:17,828
- and really not well in others.
- 1307
- 01:27:18,008 --> 01:27:20,138
- When we're on tour,
- it's such a little bubble
- 1308
- 01:27:20,308 --> 01:27:22,318
- that you become
- institutionalized,
- 1309
- 01:27:22,488 --> 01:27:24,098
- and this is why
- a lot of front men
- 1310
- 01:27:24,278 --> 01:27:26,408
- have problems
- in their personal life.
- 1311
- 01:27:28,148 --> 01:27:29,718
- Towards the end of the Mylotour,
- 1312
- 01:27:29,888 --> 01:27:33,018
- it was a very difficult period
- for about a year or so
- 1313
- 01:27:33,198 --> 01:27:37,158
- of feeling completely worthless
- and nothing to anybody.
- 1314
- 01:27:37,328 --> 01:27:38,938
- I was just like,
- I'm a mess, really,
- 1315
- 01:27:39,118 --> 01:27:42,598
- because I can't enjoy
- the great things around me.
- 1316
- 01:27:42,768 --> 01:27:46,728
- Then, of course, I went through
- a breakup with Gwyneth.
- 1317
- 01:27:47,908 --> 01:27:49,518
- Listen, man,
- I'm never gonna moan.
- 1318
- 01:27:49,688 --> 01:27:50,998
- I'm grateful for everything.
- 1319
- 01:27:51,168 --> 01:27:53,608
- But it was pretty touch and go.
- 1320
- 01:27:53,778 --> 01:27:56,828
- It was evident that things
- were very difficult for Chris
- 1321
- 01:27:56,998 --> 01:27:59,178
- and that he was unhappy.
- 1322
- 01:27:59,348 --> 01:28:01,528
- We sort of felt helpless
- in a way, you know,
- 1323
- 01:28:01,698 --> 01:28:07,138
- naturally it's distressing when your friend
- is going through something so traumatic.
- 1324
- 01:28:07,318 --> 01:28:09,278
- He was in a lot of pain.
- 1325
- 01:28:09,448 --> 01:28:12,628
- Your mind can go to
- the worst-case scenario.
- 1326
- 01:28:12,798 --> 01:28:14,498
- I was worried about him
- to the extent that
- 1327
- 01:28:14,668 --> 01:28:17,238
- I was just really glad
- to get a text in the morning
- 1328
- 01:28:17,418 --> 01:28:19,678
- just to know he was okay.
- 1329
- 01:28:19,848 --> 01:28:22,808
- And almost when he was
- at his absolute lowest,
- 1330
- 01:28:22,988 --> 01:28:25,418
- that was when we
- started making Ghost Stories.
- 1331
- 01:28:27,208 --> 01:28:28,688
- What we decided to do
- on Ghost Stories
- 1332
- 01:28:28,818 --> 01:28:31,118
- was to really be honest
- about it.
- 1333
- 01:28:31,298 --> 01:28:32,688
- I don't wanna bullshit,
- 1334
- 01:28:32,868 --> 01:28:35,778
- because I need to sing it
- to get through the day.
- 1335
- 01:28:37,608 --> 01:28:39,918
- We all set up a studio
- in Guy's house.
- 1336
- 01:28:40,088 --> 01:28:42,568
- I think that was all
- that Chris was capable of.
- 1337
- 01:28:42,738 --> 01:28:46,618
- I remember it
- as being a healing time for him.
- 1338
- 01:28:46,788 --> 01:28:50,098
- I think he started to smile
- a bit more around then.
- 1339
- 01:29:07,678 --> 01:29:09,858
- He was having
- a really hard time.
- 1340
- 01:29:10,028 --> 01:29:13,118
- Yeah, we definitely felt
- very protective towards him.
- 1341
- 01:29:13,298 --> 01:29:15,078
- Chris's life
- is different from mine.
- 1342
- 01:29:15,258 --> 01:29:17,258
- He has very much a public life.
- 1343
- 01:29:17,428 --> 01:29:20,128
- People know what's going on,
- or like to think they know.
- 1344
- 01:29:20,298 --> 01:29:24,478
- So we were worried about him
- letting people in too far,
- 1345
- 01:29:24,658 --> 01:29:27,528
- but this was what he wanted
- to do.
- 1346
- 01:29:34,878 --> 01:29:36,888
- I think Chris needed
- to get it out of his system
- 1347
- 01:29:37,058 --> 01:29:40,238
- and he needed to express
- those things in those songs.
- 1348
- 01:29:40,408 --> 01:29:43,328
- Of course, it was a very personal
- album, and I like it for that reason.
- 1349
- 01:29:43,498 --> 01:29:46,628
- I like it for its bravery
- and its honesty.
- 1350
- 01:29:46,808 --> 01:29:51,418
- What we wanted to do was to provide the
- comfort that music has always given him.
- 1351
- 01:29:51,598 --> 01:29:56,168
- That's the only way that we could really
- help him was to be musical friends.
- 1352
- 01:29:57,468 --> 01:29:59,534
- When some of us have been going
- through harder times,
- 1353
- 01:29:59,558 --> 01:30:02,038
- it's the band
- that really picks each other up.
- 1354
- 01:30:02,218 --> 01:30:05,568
- That really is an amazing thing
- to have in your life.
- 1355
- 01:30:05,738 --> 01:30:10,218
- Whenever anyone needs anything,
- really, everybody's there.
- 1356
- 01:30:10,398 --> 01:30:14,448
- It has evolved into
- much more than just friendship.
- 1357
- 01:30:14,618 --> 01:30:16,968
- We are more like a family now.
- 1358
- 01:30:17,138 --> 01:30:19,228
- It was a challenging period.
- 1359
- 01:30:19,408 --> 01:30:23,538
- It was a sort of journey from ultimate
- loneliness to ultimate togetherness.
- 1360
- 01:30:25,628 --> 01:30:27,548
- Come on, come on, come on.
- Come on.
- 1361
- 01:30:27,718 --> 01:30:29,678
- Bring it. Bring it in.
- 1362
- 01:30:29,848 --> 01:30:31,848
- Phil, you wanna lead? Come on in.
- 1363
- 01:30:46,348 --> 01:30:48,998
- It's been a long journey
- up to this point.
- 1364
- 01:30:49,178 --> 01:30:52,308
- The period that we've been a band has
- been such a shifting time in music.
- 1365
- 01:30:52,478 --> 01:30:55,698
- It's just not a time where you
- can take something for granted.
- 1366
- 01:30:55,878 --> 01:30:58,528
- I think we were very lucky
- to have each other
- 1367
- 01:30:58,708 --> 01:31:00,798
- and lucky in many other ways
- as well.
- 1368
- 01:31:00,968 --> 01:31:03,798
- I feel like I've been running
- for years.
- 1369
- 01:31:03,968 --> 01:31:05,768
- It's the first time
- since I've joined the band
- 1370
- 01:31:05,928 --> 01:31:08,628
- I've actually stopped
- and looked back.
- 1371
- 01:31:08,798 --> 01:31:13,158
- It really does feel like
- a lifetime ago that we started.
- 1372
- 01:31:13,328 --> 01:31:15,718
- Hello.
- 1373
- 01:31:25,518 --> 01:31:29,478
- What's still the same is our
- passion to make music together.
- 1374
- 01:31:29,648 --> 01:31:32,388
- I wouldn't wanna do what I do
- if I wasn't with my friends.
- 1375
- 01:31:32,568 --> 01:31:35,398
- I think the gang mentality
- is still definitely there,
- 1376
- 01:31:35,568 --> 01:31:37,788
- but it's just the gang's
- got a bit bigger.
- 1377
- 01:31:37,958 --> 01:31:42,268
- That initial dream, at the time we had
- it, that seemed like the final point,
- 1378
- 01:31:42,448 --> 01:31:45,318
- and what I've realized is, actually
- that's just the beginning.
- 1379
- 01:31:45,488 --> 01:31:47,668
- I don't feel like we've got
- to a final destination.
- 1380
- 01:32:17,438 --> 01:32:19,308
- I don't want to stop playing.
- 1381
- 01:32:19,478 --> 01:32:21,658
- I don't wanna stop this.
- 1382
- 01:32:21,828 --> 01:32:23,968
- Don't want to stop this.
- 1383
- 01:32:27,748 --> 01:32:29,278
- Let's turn it up.
- Let's turn it up.
- 1384
- 01:32:29,448 --> 01:32:31,278
- Let's turn it up.
- Let's turn it up.
- 1385
- 01:32:31,448 --> 01:32:33,578
- Let's turn it up.
- Let's turn it up.
- 1386
- 01:32:45,728 --> 01:32:47,768
- I really don't look back.
- You know?
- 1387
- 01:32:47,948 --> 01:32:49,598
- I just feel weird about it.
- 1388
- 01:32:49,768 --> 01:32:52,558
- Like Phil said the other day,
- because I was about to turn 40,
- 1389
- 01:32:52,728 --> 01:32:56,648
- you should write a letter to your 17-year-old
- self and tell him what you're up to,
- 1390
- 01:32:56,818 --> 01:32:59,478
- 'cause his head would
- just explode.
- 1391
- 01:32:59,648 --> 01:33:02,918
- The first few years, you try to make
- yourself feel different to everybody else.
- 1392
- 01:33:03,088 --> 01:33:07,398
- But in the last few years, I feel like the
- journey's just been to remind me and us
- 1393
- 01:33:07,568 --> 01:33:11,578
- that we're all in the same tribe on
- the same little planet in space,
- 1394
- 01:33:11,748 --> 01:33:15,798
- and more than ever, it feels
- like that's what we're part of:
- 1395
- 01:33:15,968 --> 01:33:17,318
- One big band.
- 1396
- 01:33:18,848 --> 01:33:21,588
- So, what next? I don't know what's next.
- 1397
- 01:33:21,758 --> 01:33:24,588
- We've been trying to get
- to this place for a long time.
- 1398
- 01:33:24,768 --> 01:33:28,728
- I'd be very surprised if there was
- another conventional Coldplay album.
- 1399
- 01:33:28,898 --> 01:33:31,208
- It feels like the finale
- of the story,
- 1400
- 01:33:31,378 --> 01:33:33,728
- or the end of a movie.
- 1401
- 01:33:33,908 --> 01:33:35,884
- It doesn't surprise me
- that he's saying now is
- 1402
- 01:33:35,909 --> 01:33:37,842
- the end of an era, it's
- the end of something,
- 1403
- 01:33:37,998 --> 01:33:40,348
- 'cause it really is in his mind.
- 1404
- 01:33:40,518 --> 01:33:44,698
- But I hope it's not really
- the end of things.
- 1405
- 01:33:44,868 --> 01:33:46,738
- Literally happens every album.
- 1406
- 01:33:46,918 --> 01:33:49,828
- "This might be our last one."
- And it hasn't been yet.
- 1407
- 01:33:50,008 --> 01:33:52,918
- I'm just looking forward to
- what happens next.
- 1408
- 01:33:53,098 --> 01:33:54,748
- We've been together for 20 years
- 1409
- 01:33:54,928 --> 01:33:57,708
- and achieved so many things
- that we wanted to achieve.
- 1410
- 01:33:57,888 --> 01:34:00,668
- I mean, it has just been
- the most amazing ride so far.
- 1411
- 01:34:00,848 --> 01:34:02,538
- I'm grateful for
- the whole journey.
- 1412
- 01:34:02,718 --> 01:34:05,068
- I have faith in the future.
- 1413
- 01:34:05,238 --> 01:34:06,588
- I trust life.
- 1414
- 01:34:12,678 --> 01:34:15,728
- First of all, thank you all
- so much for being here.
- 1415
- 01:34:15,898 --> 01:34:18,688
- You're all actually a part of the band.
- Isn't that crazy?
- 1416
- 01:34:18,858 --> 01:34:22,948
- Even though some of you might be ashamed
- to say it, you're all members of Coldplay.
- 1417
- 01:34:23,128 --> 01:34:25,168
- We got one more song
- if you wanna do it.
- 1418
- 01:34:25,348 --> 01:34:26,648
- Yay!
- 1419
- 01:34:26,828 --> 01:34:28,348
- Thank you for
- that lovely response.
- 1420
- 01:34:28,528 --> 01:34:30,568
- You get top marks from me.
- 1421
- 01:34:30,738 --> 01:34:33,748
- One, two, three and...
- 1422
- 01:36:22,858 --> 01:36:24,858
- My friends...
- 1423
- 01:36:26,288 --> 01:36:29,078
- This is the end of
- A Head Full of Dreamstour.
- 1424
- 01:36:29,948 --> 01:36:31,948
- Back where it all began.
- 1425
- 01:36:32,128 --> 01:36:35,348
- Thank you, everybody
- all around the world,
- 1426
- 01:36:35,518 --> 01:36:37,178
- at home and abroad,
- 1427
- 01:36:38,788 --> 01:36:40,918
- for being the best part
- of our show
- 1428
- 01:36:41,088 --> 01:36:44,618
- and for keeping your
- and our heads full of dreams.
- 1429
- 01:36:46,308 --> 01:36:47,448
- We're in this together.
- 1430
- 01:36:49,058 --> 01:36:50,448
- We're one big band.
- 1431
- 01:36:52,148 --> 01:36:56,278
- Everything is possible
- if you never give up
- 1432
- 01:36:57,148 --> 01:36:59,018
- and if you believe in love.
- 1433
- 01:39:49,188 --> 01:39:52,758
- If you're watching this,
- it means we haven't flopped.
- 1434
- 01:39:52,938 --> 01:39:55,068
- So, thanks a lot
- for not making us flop.
- 1435
- 01:39:55,238 --> 01:39:57,288
- If you're not watching this,
- we have flopped,
- 1436
- 01:39:57,458 --> 01:40:00,418
- so I can say what
- the fuck I want.
- 1437
- 01:40:07,208 --> 01:40:09,778
- Come on.
- We'll get past it.
- 1438
- 01:40:09,948 --> 01:40:13,428
- If you're watching this... Obviously,
- they're watching this.
- 1439
- 01:40:13,608 --> 01:40:16,698
- It should be "You're
- watching this." Not if.
- 1440
- 01:40:16,868 --> 01:40:18,218
- Let's go.
- 1441
- 01:40:18,398 --> 01:40:20,398
- Let's go and sell
- some fucking records.
- 1442
- 01:40:20,568 --> 01:40:23,098
- It's time to go home. Tell them
- we formed at college.
- 1443
- 01:40:23,268 --> 01:40:25,928
- I don't care.
- I don't like Alan McGee.
- 1444
- 01:40:26,098 --> 01:40:28,538
- Can you sing that note
- again, please? Yeah.
- 1445
- 01:40:31,578 --> 01:40:34,888
- I think this song
- is brilliant. I think it's good too.
- 1446
- 01:40:35,068 --> 01:40:38,198
- What do you think, Will?
- 1447
- 01:40:38,368 --> 01:40:40,068
- I think the second half
- is great.
- 1448
- 01:40:43,938 --> 01:40:46,598
- We are probably the
- only band in England
- 1449
- 01:40:46,768 --> 01:40:49,298
- where at least two of the
- members have got webbed feet.
- 1450
- 01:40:49,468 --> 01:40:53,388
- - Who's got webbed feet?
- - We're all bluffing now, aren't we?
- 1451
- 01:40:53,558 --> 01:40:57,258
- The reason I knew, we were on tour.
- We had a shower.
- 1452
- 01:40:57,438 --> 01:41:02,398
- And every morning, there'd be two sets
- of normal footprints and two flippers.
- 1453
- 01:41:02,568 --> 01:41:03,878
- Two flippers?
- 1454
- 01:41:07,528 --> 01:41:09,878
- I can fucking see you laughing!
- 1455
- 01:41:10,058 --> 01:41:12,058
- A lot of people think...
- 1456
- 01:41:13,318 --> 01:41:15,538
- we're not rock and roll.
- 1457
- 01:41:15,708 --> 01:41:19,848
- But I ask you, is having pastries
- before eight o'clock not rock and roll?
- 1458
- 01:41:20,018 --> 01:41:21,758
- In what fucking universe?
- 1459
- 01:41:30,468 --> 01:41:34,778
- Ladies and gentlemen, you may remember
- a year ago this band was formed...
- 1460
- 01:41:43,048 --> 01:41:44,568
- Fucking pathetic!
- 1461
- 01:42:27,348 --> 01:42:28,918
- I'm gonna be sick.
