Guy Berryman(贝斯手) :22岁,出生苏格兰Fife,后随家人搬到Kent。由于Guy本身对放克(Funk)音乐的热爱,启发他于岁时开始玩贝斯。以上内容来自:MUSIC PARKING/ E+ P: n4 K, H5 f% z; e
Jon Buckland(首席吉他手):22岁,来自北威尔斯的Mold。11岁时,在哥哥的鼓励下开始玩吉他,不过直到听到石玻瑰合唱团The Stone Roses的音乐之后,才开始认真地想成为一名吉他手。 ! h0 i( y- W4 X8 F* H& R5 v% AWill Champion(鼓手) :23岁,出生的在英格兰Southampton。成长岁月中,除了年复一年密切地监看他热爱的Southampton F.C.球队避免被降级之外,就是学习各式各样的乐器。 ' |: i5 e6 f' A9 j0 G* D % [& h: R) g- g; R+ m自2000年盛夏,一首满载少年浪漫情愫的情歌Yellow登上英国单曲排行第4名,红遍全英大街小巷开始;随后《降落伞》(Parachutes)专辑旋即空降英国金榜冠军宝座, 98年正式成军于伦敦校园的酷玩乐团 Coldplay已平地震雷一声响地迅速在全球乐坛窜起。果然不负“2000年最值得期待的乐团”的美誉,超人气之程度除了大小不断的各项奖项可应证,美国ABC电视网也曾用其单曲Yellow作为广告主题曲,欧美、亚洲、澳洲全球乐迷争相力邀酷玩乐团Coldplay巡回演出,酷玩乐团 Coldplay“最佳团体”、“超人气乐团”的封号当之无愧,已成事实 。 4 @/ z' \' A, T0 L2 O$ \% \在推出他们的首张专辑《Parachutes》后 ,伴随着红的发紫的他们的四处巡游演出,曾有一度时间,酷玩乐队身心俱疲。主唱 Chris Martin表示他的创作灵感已经枯竭,甚至于几个月都写不出一首歌来。美国音乐媒体当时都在猜测,是不是这个窜红的乐队只是昙花一现,将不久于乐坛。 1 r. \( \$ {+ D/ V) ]7 p
但是当《In My Place》这张多白金专辑推出后,一切疑虑全都打消了。虽然他们的音乐,总是感觉更像在大教堂里面播放的圣曲,而不太像是一种纯粹的摇滚,但是他们的实力总是那样不容怀疑。 " I, \. \. O9 `( \/ l
而明显受到了“9.11”的影响,他们的新专辑《A Rush of Blood to the Head》总是让你好似听到一种绝望的阴影。有人说美国人以后多少年内都不会从这个阴影摆脱出来,看来的确有些道理。 # K( d- U! j% |/ M. t4 J. ~
但不管怎样,这张专辑不光只有一个美丽的外壳 、愤怒的精神,同样,它的内容也是值得人们去欣赏的。 % E2 k# k& l+ h1 \9 g; {4 O8 O$ S- c
首曲《Politik》就会让你的血液为之沸腾,愤怒的吉他与近乎咆哮的主唱Chris Martin的声音,绝对可以把你点燃。而接下来的《A Whisper》,感觉就象是一颗高速的流星,划过无垠的宇宙。如果《Yellow》那首歌曲曾让你沉醉,那么《The Scientist》这首歌的诱惑力简直就会让你沉溺其中无法自拔:质朴的钢琴声传达出一种简单的柔和与令人神往 。而失恋的情歌《Warning Sign》却出奇的轻松与欢快,轻易扣住你的心弦。 1 [" W: c) [& M 5 L.
