According
to the pre-show intro, Coldplay is the reason that VH1 has
recently brought back the great Storytellers series. Coldplay
had contacted the network several months ago saying that they
would be coming out with a new album in June and that they'd
like to do an episode of Storytellers. The
only problem was the program was no longer being done.
It was eventually decided that bringing back Storytellers
was a great idea, and since then they've had DMB, Greenday,
and Bruce Springstein tell their tales and sing some songs...but
apparently the whole reason the show was revived was because
of CP.
The guys all wore black tops and bottoms with white sneakers.
Jonny had a trucker hat on.
Chris joked that the reason why "yellow" was in its namesake
song was because he knew there was some word missing from
the line "look at the stars/ look how they shine for you/
and all the things you do..." He said he happen to look over
to the side and he saw a Yellow Pages sitting beside him.
"In an alternate universe, this song would be called 'Playboy,'"
ribbed Martin.
Chris claimed that the song "Speed of Sound" was created out
of a failed attempt to do a cover version of Kate Bush's "Running
Up That Hill," saying that they wanted to recreate the drum
part exactly...and also the chords, but Jonny couldn't get
them right. The result was a song that was supposed to be
"Running..." but didn't sound like it. |
