Happy Face 29 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 So you think any band of now will ever reach that list with music downloads? Retard. If an artist can (like Britney Spears or Eminem who also got their starts in 1999) there's no reason a band shouldn't be able to. They're all competing in the same marketplace.

trophyshy 7083 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7452341.stm Martin walks out of BBC interview Chris Martin Coldplay singer Chris Martin has walked out of a BBC interview while promoting the band's new album. Nine minutes into the pre-recorded interview for Radio 4 arts show Front Row, the 31-year-old asked to leave the studio as he was not enjoying himself. The band's drummer, Will Champion, was left to answer questions from presenter John Wilson until Martin returned for one final question. Coldplay's new album, Viva La Vida, was released on Thursday. 'Journalistically twisting' Martin appeared uncomfortable with the interview from the outset. When asked about a speech he made at a music awards ceremony in 2005 where he said the band would be away "for a very long time", Martin said: "I always say stupid things and I think Radio 4 is the place that will most remind me of that." Coldplay The band had French Revolution-style uniforms made to promote the album Presenter Wilson questioned whether the new album - full title, Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends - was a morbid reflection of the band's lyrical obsession with death. "I wouldn't agree with you there at all, no," said Martin. "I'd say you're journalistically twisting me into saying something I don't really mean." A few minutes later, Martin said he was "not really enjoying this" and that he did not really like "having to talk about things". Champion answered the remaining questions before the frontman returned to answer a final question, about finding new musical territory, with the response: "Um....yes...yes, yes....exactly..." Sales figures released by the Official UK Charts Company confirm Viva La Vida sold 125,000 copies in its first day on sale. It looks certain to be number one in this Sunday's album chart despite only being released towards the end of the week. Miserable, Primadonna, Depressive are just some of the words people could use.

Happy Face 29 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Thompers can you just recap on the criteria for me? As far as I remember you want: Band not an artist Released four or less studio albums Since 1999 No albums prior to 1999 Still not split up I'm still coming up with Linkin Park. What criteria am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
