Cold Play Has It All Summarized On One Little Piece Of Paper

I love this stuff…..

One of my observations on very successful people is it's rarely a mistake.

I have seen it over and over  again..

If you saw 60 Minutes on Sunday you understand. You're always trying to surround yourself with the best people and just like Cold Play you have a clear vision and work harder than your competition.

In the interview with Steve Croft of 60 minutes, Chris Martin (Singer) showed him their band rules posted on the studio wall. He mentioned that he was breaking rule number 6 as they spoke.

Most successful people have rule 10 in common.

Read the rules…

Cold Play Band Rules

1. Albums be no longer than 42 minutes, 9 tracks.

2. Production must be amazing, but with space, not over layered, less tracks, more quality, groove and swing. Drums/rhythm are the most crucial thing to concentrate on; diff. between bittersweet and science of silence.

3. Computers are instruments, not recording aids.

4. Imagery must be classic, colorful and different. Come back in glorious technicolor.

5. Make sure videos and pictures are great before setting release date. And highly original.

6. Always keep mystery. Not many interviews.

7. Groove and swing. Rhythms and sounds must always be as original as possible. Once Jon has melody twist it and weird it sonical.

8. Promo/review copies to be on VINYL. Stops copying problem, sounds and looks better.

9. Jacqueline Sabriado, ns p c c, face forward.

10. Think about what you do with charity account. Set up something small but really enabling and constructive.
