Digging through the Strombo archives, we came across this segment from The Hour's 2008 Coldplay special, for which George travelled to the band's London studio. In this clip, Chris Martin talks about the band's creative process, the critical response to their music and working with Brian Eno.
Oh, and he plays a little Elton John for George too.
Here are the rest of the clips from this episode:

I'm not a huge fan of Coldplay.. but the few songs I like are like... top 10 in my book... I think in the 2000s we were extremely harsh on them as cynical cool millennials.... Doesn't have to be your favorite. But Clocks, and Viva la Vida for example are undeniable.... so kudos and long live...

the key words were "more colorful" because they certainly have been going that route with the last three albums. It would be cool of them to get a bit more organic in their production of the next album but then again I'm not the one in the freakin' recording studio.

The person / people shooting the video think that they are shooting a Hollywood action movie directed by Martin S. Thus the constant, annoying motion of the camera, which only detracts from the interview. If you hold a camera and think you should be the center of attention, you have failed in your job.
