In context, U2 have released 14 albums (46 years), Aerosmith 15 albums (52 years) … but their career has been twice as long. 20 years with 8 albums, and 2 great songs on each album is exceptional. With over 100 million albums sold worldwide, Coldplay are the most successful band of the 21st century and one of the best-selling music acts of all time.

It looks like Chris Martin is at the school Principal's Office answering questions. He deserves better than that interviewer.

Chris is so humble. I really feel very identified with him and with his way of seeing things, he is so genuine, and I think he is a perfect mix from which tremendous masterpieces are born.

Omg, every time I watch an interview , I love him a little bit more.

Chris Martin always gives the impression to be very thoughtful, generous and open. I admire him for being so kind, especially in the times we have right now. I think that the people who are able to show this level of kindness and humility are often the ones who have so much talent and did put so much in their achievements that they do not have to prove anything to anyone. That he also lets us see some of his vulnerability is also very endearing and makes him very likable and relatable. I have lost two very dear and special people and feel that my grief made me even more open to other people who have come through any other crisis. I feel maybe his sensibility and warmth (in German it is "warmheartedness") and the events that happened to him through his life made him so very empathetic.

I adore Chris. In so many ways the Interviewer tries to put him & the band into this reality and to create the pressure of:"If everyone are like that, so you guys should be." ... which is creating wrongness, when there is no right or wrong, just difference...I love how Chris is talking from his heart, without bariers, just kindness and listening his knowing, total oneness & so much to learn.... that's why you guys are beyond everything. So much love & gratitude for you choosing to go beyond what you should be and tapping into your uniqueness. 💜 Blessings 🙏 btw. it is beautiful to hear Chris being vulnerable.

Terrible interviewer. Incredibly rude and off putting. And he starts out by basically acting like he’s doing a band a favor by listening to their music rather than just the old stuff that he likes. Dude, that’s your job. Bizarre. Chris handled it very graciously.

How can they criticize Yellow?! It's one of my favorite songs! I got my whole family to love it.

No wonder I love Chris Martin , there should be more people in the world like him. As for Rolling stone bagging 'Yellow' , well most Coldplay fans LOVE IT. Thanks Chris Martin for being you.🧡💛💚💙💜

whenever chris asks 'does that make any sense?' or 'do you understand what I mean?' after he finishes talking, yes chris, we do understand and it does make sense to your true fans who are following you since so long. The interviewer might not get it but I nodded yes in your every sentence. 🤍

What a lovely, spiritual, creative, self effacing person Chris Martin comes across as

Funny that they always mention X&Y as the album they aren't as happy with...it's one of my absolute faves of theirs!

‘Only 8 albums in 20 years?’ That is a truly bizarre question - one of the worst I’ve ever heard, tbh!

Interesting interview. I learned a lot about Chris Martin. He’s such a caring soul.

Coldplay are brilliant they don’t always get it right ,hey who does . All l can say is when you listen to music and how the music makes you feel is everything l went to London Wembley Stadium to the 2022 tour and blown away best concert lve ever been to

Is this interviewer for real. 🤦‍♂️. I feel sorry Chris had to endure.

This interviewer is almost demeaning in a way.

Oh my God, Rumi. You touched me here. Feeding our soul with the same poetry. Blessings

LOL “low rate of productivity” releasing 8 incredible albums in 20 years? I can’t think of many other bands that have done what they’ve done in terms of the success of their albums. Their albums aren’t just music - they’re universes that the band creates.

he opens the interview by saying he doesn't listen to Coldplay ,wtf

I love your voice Chris martin 💙 ❤️ 😍 ♥️

Never knew I had a similar experience as Chris. In my youth as a young woman other classmates kept believing in a bullying fashion that I was a lesbian simply because in High School my Father was trying to be cheap and forced my sibling and I into yardwork labor prior to school. We rarely had to opportunity to change our clothes before school. We often wore big, masculine shirts with sleeves for the job and other students kept shouting at me that I must be gay. I was taught not to say anything when folks jeer so I didn't... and the chants caused me to fall into a deep depression. Never had any interest in other females, I knew in my heart of hearts I wasn't gay. It was only until I went to university, and dressed more feminine, I felt sorta like myself. I rekindled my friendship with a boy pal from Highschool then we got married years later. I'm still shaken from the taunting I recieved.... I can't imagine how it feels to be truly in the queer community though I hope it's better for individuals now. It's awesome Chris embraced that... Coldplay used to be bullied with films like "40 year old Virgin" saying to the audience, 'you're gay if you like Coldplay' and now with their 9th album they wrote, "People of the Pride". It's a pretty clever way to improve on past hurts in my opinion. To use mockery now to empower the people in that group. Great interview, I had no idea Chris and I had that connection of being accused of being attracted to the same sex when in actuality that wasn't the case.

“Low rate of productivity” you can notice how chris and coldplay focus on the feelings, making feel love, happiness, throught their songs, while other just focus on making more songs, selling more albums, making more money… You can see the difference between both personalities, Chris is a happy person trying to transmit happiness while the other one is just focus on the ego and being more succesfull, more famous, and so on……

Hate that he's questioned as to why "productivity is low". Gross way to look at the creative process but that's the "business" of music i guess

I loved the Rumi poem they had at the concert in 2016 💜 remember that! I knew the poem and was so excited!

Wow fantastic interview this kind of questions that i really like to know my favorite artist to talk and say something about their life. Best ever Chris Martin interview ❤ thank you for uploading

Very honest and very enjoyable .. he doesn't seem to know 'pretentious', which is the exact opposite of what I expected!

He's very humble 🙏

MAN was that a great interview. I just dusted off my Casio for the first time in five years while listening to Chris. He’s such an inspiration.

You would think the thumbnail would be of Chris Martin....it all makes sense now.

Yellow is still a raw track that was perfect when it was first played, as it still is, it was the birth of a band with equal appeal, uniqness, and musicality as the beatles or the rolling stones fronted by an intelligent, erudite guy who doesn't have the ego that comes with the job, yet remains a strong front man. Music appeal globally is extraordinary....

Just come across this, I’m an album guy and not singles, coldplay music is forever, it isn’t disposable like most music, Everyday life is just a special album, every album they have done has been special.

The interviewer is a legend. Jann S.Wenner is the founder of the Rolling Stone Magazine. And i think he is honest about beeing 73 years old and not knowing much about Coldplay. But he interviewed the biggest Stars of Rock and Soul , so we know now : Chris Martin and Coldplay are one of the biggest Stars in the Musicscene.

CHRIS is handsome, humble , a bit shy during interviews and has a beautiful heart.

May this interviewer improve as he is terrible in this one with Chris.Chris is a fantastic role model for people.To have a passion for music and to work so hard giving us the very best songs plus fantastic performances. Thank you so very much. Kindest regards.

X&Y is probably my favorite Coldplay album! It's so funny to hear such self criticism.

There is no chemistry between Interviewer and Chris. The lack of trust somehow shines through.

I really enjoyed this interview.

"There's an anger in you"??? Oh my gosh, thank goodness Chris spoke up for himself. Anger? Couldn't the guy have said "a fire in you" that would have been a compliment. "Fire" = a motivating drive in your soul. Chris is so humble. I recently fulfilled something on my bucket list. Flew from the coast of SC to LA to hear them at the Rose Bowl 🌹 sweet memories forever

This is like me trying to explain math to my 9 year old daughter

Rolling Stone criticized Yellow? Bwahahahah. That did not age well.

He is amazing🥰

I think Chris is a true artist and is devoted to his artistic heart. It is so rare and so beautiful. I hope he can preserve it but so far he has. We are all so grateful. I am a little bothered by some interviewers that are quizically looking into the petrie dish. I wonder if its like what Van Gogh experienced.

I adore Chris Martin!

Chris should write a biography !

Glad I missed this man's other interviews....so glad.

And last I checked art and music are subjective. How does one improve on the song Yellow when millions and millions absolutely love it?

Chris is wonderful, always has something to say that is worth listening to and is very humble with it - This interviewer is terrible...rude, interrupts and assumes the answers to questions before Chris is even given the chance to answer....ask a question and let the man speak ffs

24:05. You are correct Chris. God is everything and everything is God because God created everything. John 1: 3kjv "All things were made by him and without him was not anything made that was made". Ps. 82:6. "Ye are gods. And all of you children of the most high" There's so much in the bible to tell us that God is in everything, everyone and everywhere. Religion most times complicates the simplicity of this understanding but when you get the revelation, like Chris does, it's liberating. And the revelation doesn't always come from within a church building. God speaks with anything and everything. Living and non-living. So yes, Chris, you are correct.

X&Y, to me, is their best work and best era.

I love Chris martin and coldplay ✨️ 💛 💙 😍

why are the people who interview these big musicians always those who know nothing about them and are indifferent? shouldnt the super fans that actually give a shit be in that seat?

Chris talks about his music creation the way a painter talks about his painting. He is a true artist.

X&Y is my favourite Coldplay Album and in my book it was “right”.

Love the song Yellow by Coldplay. Look how huge this song has become! Keep going Coldplay! You are the brightest shining 🌟s ! IL 💛💛💛

Wow. I didn't know how much rolling stones interviewer SUCKS. jeezus. Smh!

Rolling Stone also said Led Zeppelins first album was garbage…goes to show you the critics really don’t mean S#:T

Their Everday Life album is a masterpiece. Coloratura off MOTS is a masterpiece..All their albums have several brilliant songs and make you feel deeply Extremely rare for an artist. Chris is a musical genius and lovely soul.

May fave band ever...Chris has so much personality.

This interviewer was awful. Did he do any research on Chris at all? Chris was so humble as always.

This interviewer was kinda combative no?

I love "Yellow" Chris is so down to earth and humble! Coldplay ❤

This interviewer is doing an awful job. I feel bad for Chris Martin having to answer these questions.

Jann Wenner! The founder of rolling stone. He conducted the legendary 1970 interview with Lennon. The guy has seen a lottt

Michael Jackson used to say the same thing when asked where or how he writes/creates music - saying it comes naturally and that he's only being used to allow that gift to make its way through. Such a beautiful thing! ✨

does somebody ever doing interview to elaborate the meaning of particular song ? this subjects are too general T_T

Por qué los ingleses son tan cálidos y centrados? Down to earth. Veo lo mismo en Harry Styles. Claro que Liam y Noel Galager son unos patanazos. Simplemente traen otro chip. Una masculinidad más humana y son seres compasivos. Amo

Eight albums in 20 years is reasonably productive. At first, I didn’t like this interviewer, but he got Chris talking about some interesting stuff.

X/Y is such a fantastic album

Don’t care much for his music but respect his passion and commitment. I like the first two Coldplay albums.

Poor Chris…

Brilliant

When was this recorded?

Something about how this interviewer asked questions (and the questions he asked) rubs me the wrong way.

Everyday life is my favorite album. It's a masterpiece. Thanks for having the balls. 💚

Yellow is my fav Chris

Chris is ALWAYS great this guy interviewing him is just terrible......

not sure why this interview bugged me

Anyone know which watch Chris is wearing? Looks like a seiko?

He s such an adorable person... I could listen to him for hours!! By the way, I don't get why boarding schools are such a popular tradition in Britain but it always occured to me this is such a cruel thing for kids 😢

Okay okay here we go .. I'll just plugin my earphones though.

One of these people is a hugely respected writer and performer, with multiple credits to his name; the other is a journalist. I don’t think that Chris needs any defence; I suspect that he doesn’t either…

why is the interviewers shirt dirty? unprofessional

Wonderful listening to you Chris. Xo

Lovely

Beautiful how Chris Martin described which songs fit in an album.....

Rolling Stone thought Yellow was not good…. It’s only a masterpiece 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

"The interviewer might not get it...?" That happens to be JANN WENNER the "Founder" of Rolling Stone!

🙂

“It’s not how it does, it’s just how it feels”. I wonder if the interviewer resonates with it. Minute 12:25 :)

I can’t stop looking at the dandruff on the interviewers shirt. Gross!

Perfect

15:47. C "That's what I was told to do" "By who?" It's God speaking to you through his Spirit Chris. It's the Spirit of God inside of man, directing man. 1 Corinthians 2:10. "God had revealed them to us by his Spirit....Vs 14. The natural man receiveth not these things cause they are foolishness to him..." So putting out a double album when everyone is putting out singles might seem foolish but your choice to do as you were instructed by the Spirit is how you walk in the Spirit as directed by God. The bible and living by the Spirit of God is really more practical that religion would have us believe but honestly, the word of God is true and the Spirit of God is life.

name of interviewer ? had to dig for it,,,

Anyone know this interviewer’s name? I’ve seen him 1000 times, but his name his eluding me!

Agree

A lot of comments about the interviewer. lol. I don’t think you understand who that is. Or what Rollingstone was.

Yo is this interview guy the guy from James bond 😂

Really Rolling Stone? Why this interviewer? Not even close to getting an artist to explain his special talent. What is the interviewers talent? NOT interviewing talented people.!!

I wish I had your optimism I did but it’s been emotionally beaten out of me
