“If I had my way, I would build a lethal chamber as big as the Crystal Palace, with a military band playing softly, and a Cinematograph working brightly; then I'd go out in the back streets and main streets and bring them in, all the sick, the halt, and the maimed; I would lead them gently, and they would smile me a weary thanks; and the band would softly bubble out the 'Hallelujah Chorus'.” IfsWayBigsStreetsMilitaryBandSickThanksMy WayBubblesWearyChamberPalacesCrystalsHaltChorusHallelujahMain Street Book:The Letters of D.

“There's always only been three of us [drummer Joey Shuffield, vocalist, bassist and keyboardist Tony Scalzo and myself], but when we first started we didn't have anybody augmenting the band, so everything had to be kinda to the point anyway. We did that record and toured a while on that, but I just got sick of playing it every night. It felt like doing push-ups to me.” FirstsNightThreeFeltRecordsBandSickEvery NightDrummerVocalistPush UpsJoeyBassists Author:Miles Zuniga

“We had to do something at [a festival in Washington, D.C.]. I remember Chris Martin, by then we all knew him, there were certain people who were regulars. He would say, "Oh, my God, you guys, I think I'm going to throw up." It was a daytime festival, and they went on right after some really heavy band, and he was saying, "I don't think I can do this. I think I'm going to throw up." He was in the bathroom thinking he was going to be sick. He said, "They're going to hate us." In fact, they hated them. They hated Coldplay - did not go over well. His instincts were correct.” PeopleThinkingWellsSaidI CanFactsRememberGuyCertainHateCan DoBandSickInstinctHeavyHatedBathroomFestivalsDaytimeI Can Do This Author:Jancee Dunn
