Happy Face 29 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Coldplay have scooped two prizes at the Q Awards ceremony in London, including best album for Viva La Vida or Death To All Their Friends. The band, fronted by Chris Martin, also won best act in the world today. Welsh star Duffy picked up best breakthrough, while Keane won best track for comeback song Spiralling. The music magazine also honoured veteran artists including Grace Jones, who was named Q idol, and Glen Campbell, winner of the legend award. Picking up the best album prize, Chris Martin warned the crowd he was going to bore them, before launching into a rambling acceptance speech. At one point, he declared Coldplay were "the greatest band in the world", before adding bashfully: "U2 are on holiday". Meat Loaf was presented with the classic song award for his epic Bat Out Of Hell. The singer turned up at the ceremony sporting a cut eye and looking unwell, telling reporters he would have to visit a doctor because he was suffering from vertigo. He left the ceremony soon after picking up his award from comedian Al Murray. Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, meanwhile, was honoured with the outstanding contribution to music award. Kaiser Chiefs walked off with best live act, beating current album chart toppers Kings of Leon, while Vampire Weekend's A Punk was judged best video. But the New York band lost out in the best new act category to The Last Shadow Puppets, and were also overlooked for best album in favour of Coldplay. The Ting Tings were shortlisted in three categories, but left the ceremony empty-handed. Both nominees and winners wee selected by readers of the monthly music magazine. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7654844.stm Q magazine prove Thompers to have been right all along. Unban him so we can all apologise please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 3989 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Did he ever use Q award winner as his criteria though? The fucker tried everything else. (I vaguely remember him naively trying Grammies without any research) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BBC's editor is clearly not a Coldplay fan, spot the deliberate mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13897 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Joe Satriani is suing them. I'm think he may be in his rights, either way I have one of his Ibanez signature guitars so I hope he wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
