Coldplay still Radiohead light

Posted on December 8th, 2005.

Here’s a little bit from this months Q magazine. An interview with Coldplay’s Chris Martin & Ricky Gervais:

How will Coldplay develop? You’ve mentioned you’d like to work with Timbaland.
RG: What, the boots people?
CM: Yeah, the people who make boots.
RG: Bruce Foxton’s got a brand new pair of Timberlands.
CM: Yeah, I thought what we need to do next is a CD that comes in a pair of durable walking boots, so you can listen to it when you’re hiking.
RG: You’re going for the working class vote now aren’t you? [Thinks] Who are your fans?
CM: Ah, man, it’s tricky. I don’t think we’d be anywhere is Radiohead didn’t exist. I think we’re like why Diet Coke was big. Because some people couldn’t handle Coke. That’s how i see Coldplay.
RG: That’s very humbling.

[thanks Mandy]
