酷玩樂團搞「丐幫」 躍上七月號最Q人物！

相對於樂評奉上「英倫當今最偉大樂團」的美譽，酷玩樂團Coldplay最新專輯《玩酷人生Viva La Vida》
卻要讓歌迷看見他們「渺小」的一面！收錄10首歌曲、外加隱藏曲，總長46分鐘的酷玩樂團新輯，不但
被主唱克里斯馬汀Chris Martin譽為「去蕪存菁後的循環專輯」，同時也考驗團員演奏新樂器的功力。
包括揚琴、二胡、鳴鐘與加料鋼琴等首次選用彈奏，再到「日本Japan」、「中華Chinese」成為曲目名
稱，都為酷玩樂團新專輯《玩酷人生》增添令人耳目一新的東方神秘色彩。

曾公開戲稱自己是「最偉大的男孩樂團（Boy Band）」，並且從上張專輯《XY密碼X&Y》起鼓吹「公平交
易（Make Trade Fair）」的酷玩樂團，主唱克里斯馬汀不但將原本環繞在手指上的戒飾、變成環繞手臂
的五彩彩巾，更與其他三名團員遠赴義大利西西里島拍攝音樂錄影帶。為了傳達「災禍戰亂、權勢紛爭」
，被不肖政客把玩在手上的現今世界政經局勢，酷玩樂團四名團員更不惜「搞髒」、換上宛如「丐幫」
般的補丁軍裝，在殘破建築物前、高歌這首描述「用愛與希望，面對世界毀滅」的新歌作品〈紫羅蘭山丘
Violet Hill〉。這首酷玩樂團最新音樂錄影帶〈紫羅蘭山丘〉，今起於MTV音樂台，一連首播三天。

秉持著這股「丐幫」的拍攝風格，酷玩樂團不但在音樂錄影帶上搞髒，就連獲選為英國最大音樂雜誌拍
攝七月號封面人物時，酷玩樂團也堅持著此股「丐幫」搞髒風格，進行封面拍攝！而Q雜誌編輯群，除了
以罕見的單期連續13專頁、深度介紹酷玩樂團新輯《玩酷人生》外，更奉上四顆星的高分樂評，直言
「迎接一個截然不同、但卻又如此熟悉的酷玩樂團！」、「新專輯《玩酷人生》為酷玩樂團開啟全新的
音樂版圖！」。此外，隨著新專輯發行與最新世界巡迴演唱展開在即，酷玩樂團也接連傳出喜訊！首先
是繼2005年單曲〈音速飛行Speed Of Spund〉音樂錄影帶、獲選剪輯成為蘋果電腦年度數位音樂產品廣
告影片後，酷玩樂團今年與蘋果電腦再敘代言邀約。不同於上回僅是單純地提供音樂錄影帶、以為剪輯
，這回的廣告代言，酷玩樂團四名團員更全員到齊、親自上場演出，同時也提早獻出最新同名單曲〈玩
酷人生Viva La Vida〉，作為此次iPod與iTunes的2008年度廣告歌曲。而這首單曲在iTunes開放獨家下
載以來，更是搶先新輯首支單曲〈紫羅蘭山丘〉、率先勇奪全美單曲下載冠軍！

在音樂事業上不斷突破自我框線，酷玩樂團的個人生活也有了新的變化。貝斯手蓋巴瑞曼Guy Berryman
在去年底簽署離婚、恢復單身，與現有甜蜜女友的吉他手強尼巴克蘭Jonny Buckland，一同過著單身貴
族的生活。然而，樂團裡的兩名「爸爸」，卻也在五月底有了排名變化，原來是鼓手威爾詹普恩Will
Champion在五月底，竟一舉喜獲一男一女雙胞胎！分別命名為朱諾Juno與雷克斯Rex、再加上大兩歲的
姊姊艾娃Ava，鼓手威爾共計育有兩女一男，一舉超越主唱克里斯所育有的一男（摩西Moses）一女
（艾波Apple）。為此，知名影星葛妮絲派特羅Gwyneth Paltrow，在接受「哈潑時尚Harper's Bazaar」
雜誌訪談時，也公開透露：「為了完成已故父親布魯斯Bruce的生前遺願，我和主唱老公克里斯，有打算
再生一胎！」「無論是親生或是領養，我和克里斯都很期待第三個孩子的到來。」酷玩樂團Coldplay最

Coldplay 酷玩樂團 - Violet Hill (MV)



酷玩與凱莉合作單曲成為新專輯遺珠.....

酷玩合唱團（Coldplay）原本為了新專輯「玩酷人生（Viva La Vida）」而和性感女神凱莉米洛（Kylie
Minogue）合作了一首新歌《Lunar》，但專輯即將發行的前夕，酷玩卻決定這首新歌將不會收錄在「玩酷
人生」裡，原因是整首歌太性感了，跟酷玩新專輯裡的整體風格不太搭。「現在的酷玩還不能那麼性感，」
主唱Chris Martin解釋道，「雖然凱莉在這首《Lunar》裡的表現非常棒。」Chris開玩笑地說酷玩和凱莉
合作十分愉快，於是凱莉幫酷玩創作了很多歌曲，而酷玩則幫凱莉設計很多套服裝，不過這當然都純屬虛構。

Lil Wayne Fends Off Coldplay, Perry On Hot 100

With his long-delayed new album "Tha Carter III" finally due out next week, Lil Wayne's
"Lollipop" begins a fourth frame at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. But there's strong
competition from Coldplay and Katy Perry, both of whom enjoy big jumps thanks to digital
sales.

Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" jumps 10-3 to become the biggest Hot 100 hit of the band's career.
The tune, which soundtracks an iTunes TV commercial and was performed Sunday on the MTV Movie
Awards, sold 219,000 downloads, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The U.K. band's previous
high-water mark on the Hot 100 was with "Speed of Sound," which peaked at No. 8 in 2005.

Perry's "I Kissed a Girl" soars 21-5 with sales of 173,000 downloads. Her Capitol debut,
"One of the Boys," arrives June 17.

Elsewhere on the Hot 100, Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love" holds at No. 2, Rihanna's "Take a Bow"
remains at No. 4 despite being the top airplay gainer this week and Usher's "Love in This Club"
featuring Young Jeezy stays put at No. 6.

Jordin Sparks' "No Air" featuring Chris Brown drops 5-7, Ray J & Yung Berg's "Sexy Can I"
slides 7-8 and "American Idol" champ David Cook's "The Time of My Life" falls 3-9. Only three
of the 11 record-breaking debuts from last week remain on the Hot 100 by Cook, but "The Time
of My Life" manages a record-breaking debut at No. 31 on the Adult Top 40. It's the highest
opening for a career-starting single by a solo male there.


Madonna's "4 Minutes" featuring Justin Timberlake drops 8-10 to round out the top tier.

Lil Wayne has the top debut on the Hot 100 this week with "Got Money" featuring T-Pain at No.
13. The rapper has four listings in the top 40 of the chart, three as a lead artist. That's
the most for a lead act since 50 Cent had three in the May 7, 2005, issue of Billboard.

Also new this week are Usher's "Moving Mountains" at No. 72 and the Pussycat Dolls' "When I
Grow Up" at No. 76. On Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, "Lollipop" is tops for a sixth week, while
"Moving Mountains" is the top debut at No. 55.

Brad Paisley is No. 1 on Hot Country Songs for a third week with "I'm Still a Guy." But
Jessica Simpson dazzles there with her first country single, "Come on Over," which debuts at
No. 41. For a solo artist with no prior history on the tally, this is the biggest debut since
Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems began tracking in January 1990. Simpson's debut country album
is due later this year.

On Billboard's rock roundups, Weezer is No. 1 on Modern Rock with "Pork & Beans" for a fifth
week, and Disturbed's "Inside the Fire" tops Mainstream Rock for a fifth as well.
