Coldplay on Splitting Money Evenly and How They All Met in College 

Watch Coldplay's FULL interview with Howard now: siriusxm.us/ColdplayHSS

I love that line "they wouldn't have steered the ship as well as you have." So much love between them still over 20 years later.

This the true meaning of true friendship, they've been more than 20yrs from being friends. Humble band, knows how to respect each other, respect they're fans. Thats the real meaning of a Legend

You can tell these guys still genuinely like each other after all this time.

“They wouldn’t have steered the ship as well as you have” that’s an amazing quote

"Everything is possible if you just..... share." 😂

This kind of long lasting friendship in a band with four equal members also exists in Queen. It's very rare that 4 people manage to stay together for such a long time while working creatively, because that naturally causes controversy. But when they manage to do it, the result is all the better because it had to go through the band's process.

They are all so sweet and gentle and soft-spoken ✨

Great, humble band.

It does take special people to share like that in a band. Imagine these Scenarios in a band of four people 1- one or two guys are the most creative and come up with most of the ideas & songs, they have to be strong enough to share with the others who don’t create 2- the singer attracts most of the media attention, the others have to be strong enough to accept that 3- the pressure from friends, family, managers and so on who tell the creative folks that they re missing out sharing with the others who don’t contribute the same. It really takes special people to be that accepting. Not a huge fane but they have my Respect

So good to hear them so happy and relaxed. So at home with each other

They are legend. Good to see them together and still going strong

I love the chemistry between all of them

Chris Martin has really gone up in my estimation for the sharing credit and income. Too many bands split because of jealousy and money.

Excellence and humility combined, it's a beautiful thing 😊

I remember buying their first record over 20 years ago ...I worked in a factory making door liners and on my breaks I'd smoke weed and listen to yellow ...lol

Love them, their music, and them as individuals. Great people, they deserved their success.

This is why I love them so much

I’m literally watching this before I drop my sister to her halls at UCL! Wow.

It is nice to see that there is such a high amount of trust within this group ! 👍👍

Coloratura é uma música divina. Simplesmente maravilhosa, e a emoção que eles colocam.nela é incrível.Esse é o melhor do Coldplay, quando eles colocam sentimento na música ❤️

This is a great interview so far😊

"Love Spreads" by Stone Roses is one of my favorite guitar heavy songs of all time. It got a fair amount of airplay here in the States.

You are amazing Coldplay 😄💙💙💙💙

Although I can't speak English and I don't know what they were talking about, but when they were smiling, I smile. Music is so magically universal.

This was UCL (University College London) and, intriguingly, none of them were studying music....

Can't wait for Legs Akimbo

Hella humble folk

chris' voice is so angelic

Best band ever

Splitting the money evenly is very generous. Songwriting is arguably the single most important thing that influences the success of any band, so contribution vs. compensation is often a huge issue that bands struggle to negotiate.

That college and their students are obviously pretty remarkable!

Awesome group ❣️

Love from Indonesia ❤❤

“You have a good choice of chrises”😂

The best band in the world

Howards old band The Losers were great LOL. He was a decent keyboard player lol. Good times, best years.

We need the full interview! Howwwww

They oozzzeee bliss...

Just like Rush equal partnership, no drama no BS!

when coldplay was in uni it was a thriving band music scene, it was an amazing time, all perfect timing. try find a decent member now lol

it really is a great story.

Those sneakers are awesome !

When you like lyrics that are so abstract you have no idea what the song is about just put on Coldplay.

These 3 other guys got a never ending winning lotto scratch off ticket named Chris Martin. Must have done good deeds in past life lol

❤❤❤

I’m in UK so not really sure , where do I get the full episode of this?

Will is so cute holding the mic.

English. ❤️

Where can I see the full interview?

1:40 😂😂😂😂😂😂 damn

They are bright , that’s why. I mean, UCL is not easy to get in!

Does anyone know what stone roses song he was playing??

I know they sold out, and i don't really care for their new, stadium friendly stuff, but I'll always love coldplay. First 3 albums were integral to my growing up.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

🍋🍋🍋 One Love

If you have not, listen to The Stone Roses first album. It is mindblowing!!

The other chris 's wouldn't have steered the ship as well as you have

💕💗🙏💗💕

I go to that Uni. UCL.

Did stern talk about covid at some point in this interview?

Wow if only another Manchester band could have the same respect for each other… lol

I wish Howard asked him to expand on sharing the credit.

In the past they said chris took 40% of the income and the others 60%? When did they change this?

I bet Johnny was playing "I am the Resurrection"

Thats odd because Chris Martin was on an older Howard Stern and said he kept 40% of the money because he writes the music.

If the chances are a billion to one, there would only be 7 or 8 successful musicians. Follow your dreams!!!

I remember Chris saying in the last stern interview that they split the money 40%,20%,20%,20%

Oh U2 jr.

💚🍀💐🍀

Wow, 8 Chrises.

they remind me of Oasis

Nice. Classy. Respectful. What a change in 2021 world surrounded by assholes.

I thought Chris Martian didn’t split the publishing or some shit because he wrote the songs. Didn’t he say that in previous Howard interview or am I wrong?

And we all thought Chris Martin would get way more than the others a’ la the classic ‘recipe’ ...

Privately educated.Not yr typical 'college dorms'.

I mean.. how else would you split it?

the other 5 chris’s watching this: 😐

Coldplay ft. Bill Burr

Why wouldn’t they split it evenly…

OK Computer

Everybody is obsessed with money.

Bullshit. Last interview he said it was a 40 20 20 20 split.

Pretentious, moi?

100% do not believe that Chris Martin makes the exact same amount of money as the other 3 guys.

They copied a lot from u2 this is why they’ve both been successful fir so long

i think he is referring to socialism ?

how is 40 - 20 - 20 - 20 splitting the money evenly?!

Chris Martin quits and the band is over

Why is HStern so amazed that 4 average musicians came out of the same college?

I remember when they use to be good, many years ago.

The sharing is killing Chris you can tell! He wants it all for himself. I don’t think anyone wants to take credit for there music tbf

It's such a shame. They were so epic - every album a winner, and then came 2019 and they totally lost it. The album of that year was total shit and this new one is total shit. I'm so disappointed. Luckily there are some good bands around to take their place. If you think this is just my opinion, go check out the sales numbers on wikipedia.

Music for bed wetters…

Let's get together and form a band so we can play limp whinny crap and make money from the mass of deaf slaves.

I use to rule the world.. Chris Martin is an amazing songwriter
