Chris Martin On What’s Kept Coldplay Together | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend 

This guy sits in a chair exactly like I thought he would sit in a chair.

Chris Martin's voice is so calming

I didn't realize how badly we needed a down to earth interview with chris martin until now. Thanks coco.

I've seen a lot of concerts now, and I have to say that the live talent of Coldplay, their ability to put on a show, and just HOW much of your money's worth you get for seeing them in person, is PHENOMENAL. I don't want to name names but there's some great bands I've seen live and the presentation of their show, or how "into" it they were, was a bit lacking. It's incredibly underrated how good a show Coldplay put on and I'm so glad Conan spotted this

Seen them 5 times.....best concert ever....every time.....worth every dime.....

Back in 2001, 2002, when I was deep in the partying scene, when things would get “too real”, I’d walk out to my car, put on Coldplay, and just zone out for a bit. They helped save my sanity. Years later, they’d help me and my ex-wife get to a place where we could communicate and show respect to each other. Years after that, they’d help me get through my Mom’s cancer. So, hate all you want or love all you want, I haven’t heard any of their new stuff in years but I’m forever a fan. And of course, Coco is just the best. All love to you and yours.

“I asked you how the First World War started” Conan is too witty😂😂

Such a humble guy! Instead of taking credit for the songs, he just said they were sent his way. ❤️

How can you not love Chris Martin, such a beautiful soul, such a genuine smile, talented. I watched Coldplay live and it was such an amazing experience, watched Beyonce live at Glastonbury and it was equally amazing. Now there’s nobody left of my generation worth seeing live, wish I could have seen the older greats like Hendrix, or MJ, and in terms of females, Sade or Celine Dion would have been amazing live.

I love that he's "sent" the songs. So magical. Shows you there's more than we can see and comprehend to music. It's a gift

The lighting wrist that they use in their show is genius. They made every person be part of the show. Beautiful.

Conan O'Brien Needs A Video Podcast

Wise words from Chris Martin ,a wordsmith master, " I'm the best at being me".👏🙏💕

I LOVE that Conan lets people talk! You wouldn't get this interview with so many other hosts.

Conan is legitimately one of the best interviewers we have today.

The sunlight makes Conan look like he is transparent

Good to hear that collaboration is still important to Chris. And good to hear that the messages are still coming thru from Heaven.

Coldplay has always maintained some level of humility that's kept them grounded. I think even they didn't think they'd get this big as quick. I recall "A Rush of Blood To the Head" being a real game changer, by the time "Clocks" was released, they were going to arenas. I actually did doubt that a piano based band as them could ever play massive stadiums, and turns out I was wrong. Pretty amazing.

We don't deserve such a high-tier interview host. Thanks Conan & thanks Team Coco

Coldplay indeed puts on some of the best concerts. ❤

Conan you are truly a wonderful interviewer

Coldplay has always had that something that has always spoken to people, and I'm saying this as someone who remembers the hate that they got. They just have that something that kind of keys into that sense of humanity, and their live shows back up every word they sing.

0:50 "We've all got our gifts and mine is I get sent songs." I get sent takeout menus.

Teamwork is like family when it's great. Beautiful. ♥

I know a lot of people hate on Coldplay nowadays but say what you want about them, they give some of the best live shows ever! I’ve been to a lot of concerts but theirs is definitely in my top five. If you’re not a fan of them and if you have the money, at least go to one of their shows. It might change your mind about them! On top of that, they are all chill and nice dudes.

The Live Shows are Totally Outstanding and will go down in History I think.🎉❤✌️💃🎊🎆

This is just so lovely and fun!!Chris and Conan…feels like love ❤

they went to the school of U2 live performance, and made their own epic stadium tours. great songs, great humility and such an awesome desire to connect to the crowd .love these guys.

❤ this interview 💯

I wish we had the full podcast in video

"Adeptitude"....that's a great new word.

What a Great and very Smart Idea with the foundation of the Band to say 'we'll just share the credit'. So everybody contributes to the Music for the right reasons. Brilliant and a Great lesson for all budding Musicians.

Release the whole 1 hour+ video please. Thanks

Loved them at the Super Bowl 🍲

Great band. Good show

Straight talking Conan 👍

Who's your favourite podcaster and why is it Conan?

I love this

This guy seems so great. Both him and Gwenyth give off this soothing calming energy. No idea why they didn’t/couldn’t work out. They still seem to me like a great couple together. Wonder what could’ve gone wrong Loved this interview. Chris is funny, insightful, witty, deep, generous in his sharing of knowledge of life and philosophy. Loved this whole Interview

Bro, Conan is the goat. Who comes close? I mean in current generation he's the best.

this is huge interview, that we can hear about how Coldplay, one of the biggest band of all time works, this will be impossible with Conan old format

My Conan is getting old 😢❤❤ plz keep making these videos, you’re one of the only comedians that’s actually funny and entertaining

My comment easily became a blogg which speaks very much in favour of this very good interview. Anyway, thank you for having 2me too", in advance. With last word I felt like listening again, as Chris Martins tells he is so sorry but forgot the question. "I asked you how the first world war started." "Yeah a bit like that." What's "th-ed"? Serious question in its content, for a laugh see my 1st comment "on the bottom". Having theorized quite a lot in one comment on actors on youtube - answering "questions" this is a further example in my mind for a duality of thinking to oneself (then thinking out loud should not stop in that "stage", but catch eyes and ears that are of others) - maybe another word for this is singing or music; you got to be catchy, offer some hook, it is communication with strangers in the night - and, second, as said, thinking together in a talk or in a group. There are many groups not single artists, however the super days of groups might have had seen their zenith. Here, it's the singer of a band that "thinks out loud". "Out" he'd be if he did not stick to the "question" of the interviewer. Only now I realize the title of the show: "...needs a friend". I'm close at getting the point. It's different if that sofa is Martin's and O'Brian gives ground to think aloud and tell instead of singing, or if that man nobody's familiar with is Martin's new boss who's legitimally questioning him - and whose rules, question, Martin as another brick in the wall has to fit to. He "forgot the question", is "so" or very sorry. There was no question. Interviewe said: part of the moment or the like, not did he said: part of the group or just being yourself and sing your mind out that is not theirs. - When or how did the First World War start. This is something completely different, and it's ironizing how much Martin had been "allowed" to drift off topic. However, he wasn't even off at that moment, he says "yeah, a bit like that". To me, Martin in a soft tone turns the "question" around, taking up on common irony (irony works here): It is not something completely different. Did the aggression start because one of the partners of war did think too much to himself - Martin was thinking out loud. The point is hierarchy. At times, you must not be "part of the moment", I guess, that's what O'Brain said, and you must follow close to "get it", just get it, listen to every word; however Martin might have done that too - und even grasped it completely, as the deepest irony that would be "satire" in terms to me would be imply that there was no question "at all", which translates to: what rules of your would I have not abidden to? There was no question (there was formal imperative form your side). So, how did the first world war start? By thinking too much within each other and forgetting about the opponent's "thinking". A little bit like that. If a bright fellow Putin certainly was in his days being a spy, before the war, CIA and KGB might have been able to prevent or stop the upraisn war that goes on and on.

how is chris martin 46? he must be livin' that clean rock n roll lifestyle

Very good 👍

This setup is kinda nice :3

You don't know me, but I love your work

Conan's not kidding, he really does look like an old lady

True

Isn't this an old interview? Chris looks so young here :)

New format? Love it

Please let me pay for full length videos of the episodes!

Message to bands. Always share songwriting credits no matter who writes the song.

Hello from Vasco sharing money? That's okay i am just thinking of listening to good music always❤

Guys we would all follow coldplay til the end of the earth because martin is the first iteration internet Teddy bear.

money has kept Coldplay together

For real though, why aren't Sona and Matt ever a part of these interviews? Chris Martin's still a musician, not a politician or something

Is this all in parts or am I missing where the full interview is?

❤❤

How do we watch the full interview

Was it the question last one Beyonce???? Tip????❤

Money

Chris "get sent" the song? What does that mean?

Why do they both look like they are just up after a heavy nights drinking?

I'm the second comment. Love u Consy

British English and American English. All I could think was, “Chris is speaking in complete sentences.”

the crossover i didnt know i needed

I misunderstood Conan is Axle rose

Conan Obrian needs a musician friend!!!! Please? Pretty please?

Chris is ageless

"I asked you how the First World War started" lmfaooooooo

Answer: Money

Already missing the Conan beard.

Not having Sona and matt is criminal

U2... communal sense. Oh. That didn't land right. Hello, Vegas gig. Ouch.

Did anyone notice Chris foot it look’s plastic didn’t move the whole interview

the weird thing is after doombrain got the student lawyer that contacted me on icq to dump me his name changed on his icq name to chris martin

Anyone who was married to Gwyneth Paltrow and didn't end up in an insane asylum must be applauded.

All I can think of is “that chair is white, please wipe your feet”

I can tell by their footwear 🤣How often do you look at a man's shoes

I sit like Chris too. We're twinsies : )

My favorite person in the world. No it's not you Conan, sorry.

Wait a second......Isn't that Garth and Kats full time back up singer?

If I paid 500.00 USD to see Coldplay, and the lights didn't go off on time, I would be pissed off. So, yes, it's a job, so don't complain, or don't plan on playing anymore. YEP. Great job.

White balancing this room must have been nightmare and only say that because Chris's hands are ghostly.

I like Chris Martin, and I like their first four records, but Coldplay is the epitome of selling out.

His feet are blue

What did he mean by "I get sent"? "I get sent production of the song and the title" "I get sent songs, and I get a very clear idea of where we are supposed to go as a band" "I get sent ideas all the time"

If you already earned 100s of millions of dollars with your music there is absolutely no reason to make any fuzz about how you split your royalties. What a non-discussion.

From his answer,.,.,,.. Who is handing chris the idea???

No the beard is gone

conan shaved again =[

Conan needs to shut up man! I like him but i keep waiting to hear Chris talk. Im blown away by how brilliant he is

I just like that whenever Conan interview someone outside the studio, he never brings Sona and Matt. 🤣

hey! where's Sona and Matt...?

Love Chris Martin but why his dogs out💀

I wish he'd put on some shoes.

start eating chris

He better wash them feet

Conan's grown OLD!
