It would be pretty arrogant of U2 to think that they are "above" working with him. I'd even go so far to say that keeping Chris Martin out could be a missed opportunity if they decided to do that.
And yes, we can all say that Bono does carry a level of arrogance about him, but it's not a smug arrogance that some members of the community are exuding by saying that Chris Martin and Bono shouldn't work together.

Coldplay??? Legends??? They've been together over 15 years, Chris Martin is 36, their last album has decent sales of 8 million worldwide, but each album seems to be a little worse than the one before it. 13 years after their debut, they have released a grand total of five albums. With U2, 13 years after their debut, they had 8 albums, and were still pushing new ideas. Coldplay are probably one of the best bands in the last 10 years, but seem to be treading water. Legends? Possibly, but they seem to be one of those really good almost great bands that just fall short of being legends. Although they do have their own sound, there's still a bit too much of U2 and Radiohead in them, and not enough unique in them in my opinion...
Originally posted by JuJuman:I think we're getting a little too excited about this Coldplay stuff. We should trust U2 to know what's best. They're mixing the album, I don't think Martin is singing on it. And if he is, it'll be on an obscure b-side for charity purposes. Let's wait and see

I wouldn't have much of an issue with Chris Martin playing keyboards/piano/organ/synthesiser on the record, but please, nothing else, unless it is a charity B-side or Duals II.
