Coldplay have started recording – without frontman Chris Martin.
The singer revealed he has been cut out of the band's latest sessions while playing an acoustic set this afternoon (January 30) for Absolute Radio in London.
Martin explained the band started without him at the suggestion of producer Brian Eno, who wrote the band a letter declaring: "'Viva La Vida' (2008 album) was good. But I know that you can do better."
As a result the band are recording for two weeks without their frontman, who used his spare time to play the short set.
"This should be interesting," Martin told the invited crowd before embarking on a performance that saw him switch between guitar and piano, adding, "I’ve never tried this before."
Chris Martin played:
"Viva La Vida"
"Life In Technicolour"
"The Scientist"
"Violet Hill"
Thanks for the report to Nme.com.

You know, not all guitar related news has to deal with shred, comments like that one you left piss me off. There are guitars in their music and they are a band that plays some sort of rock based music so they belong on this site. I dont like Coldplay either though.
I agree with you on Brian Eno. I have much respect for him, I don't think he is gonna let them put out a shit album. POSTED: 02/02/2009 - 03:07 pm / quote |

: i know this band couldn't be any more different to coldplay, but the lamb of god vocalist apparently doesn't do anything with the rest of the band for quite a while until they have the tracks ready for vocals, so maybe this is what Eno is getting at, kinda.POSTED: 02/02/2009 - 03:45 pm / quote |

: Viva La Vida was awesome, everything else was pretty eh. But I can never really say this band is bad, because at least their progressions and melodies are catchy and overall nice to listen to, unlike most mainstream rock music now-a-days. POSTED: 02/02/2009 - 04:00 pm / quote |

: dude, if you guys aren't fans of Coldplay, what do you get out of ripping on them here? Chris Martin can't hear you, no matter how much you post.
For those who care, I think it's cool that they're trying a new method of writing and recording. It could lead to a cool feel for their next album, whenever they release it.POSTED: 02/02/2009 - 07:19 pm / quote |

Ranting Thespia
: It seems like "Coldplay Sucks" is some new fad. I personally don't get it. I like Coldplay, I like Chris Martin, and I like the other 3 whom are: Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman, and Will Champion. Also, if you are under the assumption that it's just Chris Martin with a backup band, you should know that they ALL write the songs. Even the drummer (Will) helps write them. They all sing as well.POSTED: 02/03/2009 - 02:34 am / quote |

why wouldn't it belong on a guitar website? they play guitars, isn't that the requisite?
i'm happy about this. to release an album that had Viva La Vida's success and then return to the studio as soon as possible (with a world tour thrown in for good measure) shows a pretty admirable work ethic.POSTED: 02/20/2009 - 12:20 am / quote |
