Posted February 18, 200916 yr Do you believe this? :lol: Methinks he's taking the mickey! Luckily ... I think the lads will know it! http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showb...icle2247845.ece I still quite like Chris Martin (even if he is taking the pee!) Norma
February 18, 200916 yr Chris is and always has been a huge Take That fan and has said it many times he would love to work with them or perform with them so this is genuine enough i believe but probably a little exagerated at the same time
February 19, 200916 yr Author He must have meant it I suppose. Coldplay and Gary performed Back For Good at the War Child gig after the Brits last night. http://www.nme.com/news/coldplay/42890 And someone's put it on youtube already. 0hvCk2zZ3qU Coldplay and The Killers - joined by special guests from U2 and Take That - played a rare joint gig in London tonight (February 18). With all the acts rushing across from the nearby BRIT Award ceremony to play the intimate charity show in aid of War Child - and also marked the launch of newly re christened O2 Shepherds Bush Empire - the gig kicked off well after 11pm (GMT) with The Killers taking to the stage first. However while both groups played curtailed sets in order to beat the curfew, they compensated by recruiting their specials guests for a joint encore together at the end of the show. Firstly Coldplay played 'Back For Good' with Take That's Gary Barlow, with Chris Martin declaring the collaboration would cheer him up after not winning at the BRITs earlier. "I think everyone agrees that the band to see at the moment is Take That," he declared. "We've just got back from Japan, lost all the BRITs, it's been a $h!t day frankly, but it's going to get better, please welcome Mr Gary Barlow!" Then having only rehearsed minutes beforehand backstage The Killers and Bono joined Coldplay onstage to perform 'All These Things That I've Done' together, with all three frontmen sharing vocals. Earlier Coldplay had performed their own set, kicking off with instrumental 'Life In Technicolor' and 'Violet Hill', changing the lyrics of the latter to reference Shepherds Bush and The Killers to the crowd's delight. 'In My Place' then triggered a loud sing-a-long as Martin encouraged the crowd to scream along with him, while later on Martin asked for the lights to be turned on so he could address the crowd. "Should we play this one or is it a bit commercial?" joked the singer before 'Yellow'. With the track receiving a loud sing-a-long, Martin stopped them just before the end to tell them that 'X-Factor' judge Louis Walsh was in the audience. "You're our favourite judge so I'm sure we'll all do a good version of 'Yellow'," he confidently declared. The band then wrapped up their set up with 'Fix You and 'Viva La Vida' in advance of their collaborative climax. Norma Edited February 19, 200916 yr by Norma_Snockers

February 21, 200916 yr Author Well I think Take That need it more than Coldplay at the moment - but it was supposed to be a really good gig. Norma
February 22, 200916 yr Author Nice little article here in the Guardian (the Guardian are normally very hostile to Gary Barlow ... but they are quite complimentary here). This Martin fella has influence! Keep him onside as a mate Gary - even if you did look a bit in awe of him! http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/feb/2...no-u2-take-that Norma
March 2, 200916 yr Thanks for posting the video, Norma! I'd read all about it but not actually seen it. I think it was really nice (I always love it when the crowd joins in!) and for a good cause too. Bless 'em all. Oh, just had to add this - There are similar videos but it's still from the War Child event. Skip to around 3:20 to see Chris Martin drag Gary back on stage to sing with Coldplay, Bono and The Killers. Made my chuckle. I really think Chris wasn't kidding when he said he liked Take That, lol!
