We re trying to say that there is an alternative, says Chris.That you can be catchy without being slick, poppy without being pop, and you can be uplifting without being pompus.We wanted to be reaction against soulless rubbish.
They already knew were onto something special. We were determined to do it from the start,says Jonny. From the moment I met Chris I really did think that we could go all the way.. Do something.
Eventually agreeing on the name Coldplay, in May 1998 they recorded the three-track Safety EP
and pressed 500 copies. Safety got the band a gig in a Cuban Cafe at In The City in Manchester
in late 1998. In the audience was A&R scout Debs Wild, who tipped off Caroline Elleray at BMG
Publishing. Caroline brought them to the attention of Dan Keeling of Parlophone Records A&R,
who began to follow the Coldplay''''s progress. A subsequent gig at The Falcon in Camden was
witnessed by Simon Williams of the N.M.E, who was sufficiently impressed to write both a
glowing review and offer the band the chance to record a single for his Fierce Panda label.
Brothers & Sisters emerged in early 1999, and soon after Coldplay signed up to Parlophone.
Coldplay began the year 2000 bottom of the bill on the NME Brats tour, though the fact that most
venues were already full by the time they took the stage signalled that they wouldn't be in that
position for long.Their first Parlophone signle Shiver made the Top 40 in February, but it was the
anthemic Yellow in June that propelled Coldplay into the spotlight when it entered the charts at
No.4. With its happy sad refrain and perfectly pitched video-a soggy Chris stumbling accross a
British beach, from sunrise to sunset, the song became a universal touchstone.
Debut albumn Parachutes did even better, entering the charts at Number One
that July. Bucking against a climate of emotionally empty lad-rock, it connected on a big scale
-11 songs of acoustic-fed beauty that earned superlative reviews and seemed to touch everyone
who heard them.
Expectations on the band were high, not least from Coldplay themselves. At the time, Chris told
the press that if their new songs weren''''t up to standard, they would call it a day.
Future stadiem anthems In My Place and Clocks were there, alongside wiry piano ballad The
Scientist, a song that would come to surpass even Yellow as an emphatic tour de force.
With Coldplay rasing the bar with their music, the world was happy to see if the band could
rise to new challenges, too. A headline slot at the Glasonbury isnt the easiest place to debut new
material, but taking to the main stage on June 29 2002, Chris greeted 100,000 excited punters with
a cheery OK? and led the group into thunderous opener Politik.Few who walked away from the encore
an hour and a half later doubted that this was a band now capable of being a global concern.
Coldplay now soared in America - setting themselves a punishing schedule from May 2002 to August
2003 that saw them criss - crossing the continent six times, performing 155 shows increasingly starry audiences
in Los Angeles and New York where they sold out legendary venues The Hollywood Bowl and Madison
Square Gardens. Once you re established in Britain, you become kind of uncool, say Guy. But it s not
such a bad thing. It makes you work even harder.
Name as disparate as Bono, Mos Def and Jake Gyllenhaal started to sing Coldplay's praises
(and sometimes sing on the stage with them, too) as they toured A Rush Of Blood throughout 2003.
The band also got to meet and write with, the late Jonny Cash.

It is a cause the whole band supports
The horizons of shock are now so familiar that their crimson sunsets seldom raise an eyebrow.
The sound is like a litter of skinned cats doing early Metallica covers in a downpour of piss and vinegar.
Black metal, and its fabric of sub-genres -- ranging from relatively harmless synth-goth composers to fearsome neo-Nazi aggressors -- revels in violent philosophies, with themes of Satanism, paganism and misanthropy threaded throughout.
Slayer came around and just blew down the doors.
They were just so nuts and so satanic and so seamless.
Black metal is the logical end of taking something as far as you possibly can."
in the infamous case of scene lynchpins Mayhem
Toronto''s scene, comprised of between four and 15 bands depending on the purity standards of the person you ask, is far more sedate than the raging lunacy of Norway''s.
At one extreme, there''s local act Geimhre, whose website contains a link to the Pagan Front: The Hammer of National Socialist Black Metal, a pro-Aryan organization seeking to "smash the Judeo-Christian and subhuman parasites into oblivion."
Gollum -- who is surprisingly soft-spoken on the phone and in person -- has a message for anyone who might take issue with the violence espoused by his band
