26 November 2009

The new issue of Q Magazine has just hit the shelves in the UK, featuring a very special triple gate-fold cover. It highlights Q's Artists of the Century which, we're pleased to say, include Mr Tom Chaplin of Keane.

Q Editor Paul Rees had the following to say about this end of the decade issue: “All of the 34 artists who feature on the cover of the Artists Of The Century issue are there because they have significantly shaped or connected with our readers’ lives during the past 10 years – and as such they represent a reflection of the breadth and diversity of Q’s musical world. It took us a year to put together the Artists Of The Century issue, but I think the end result makes all that time and effort more than worth it.”

All the artist of the cover are good, but definitively TOM is the best one of all, he has an amazing voice. He should be in front of all because is the most handsome and talented.

Posted by alekeane on 2009-11-30 19:43:05

I want Tim and Rich on the cover too!!!!

TOM, fantastic!!! you are soooo gorgeous!!! Is very, very cool and rocks your looks!!! take care, love natalia ARGENTINA

Posted by natalia1234 on 2009-11-30 15:26:31

Tom Chaplin is the best singer of the new generation of bands and singers in general! no other today compares to his voice and interpretation! Surely they should have putted Tim (whos an amazing songwritter) and Richard the (ideal drummer to Keane) on the cover too, that's a mistake of the magazine, but Tom is there to represent Keane and that's what matters!

Posted by Paula Williams on 2009-11-30 13:48:13

Pleased to see Matthew James Bellamy on the right side(our view) of The Edge!!! Way to go Tom!!! Nice 'collective' here. Could be more, but this is pretty good representation! Let the Music Reign....!

Posted by anya on 2009-11-30 01:59:47

Ahnn, I think there is a blondi girl missing... her name starts with 'M' and ends with 'adonna'.. Come on, what a strage criteria! I´m happy Tom is there.

Posted by keanez girl on 2009-11-29 23:34:00

Congratulations Keane!! You have made such an impact over the past few years, musically and through support of charities. I'm guessing that by putting Tom on the cover, he is representing the band as a whole? Love you guys, and well done! xxx

Posted by cepk1981 on 2009-11-29 05:26:17

Para qué más escondido el probe de Tom, es injusto, debieron colocarlo más adelante y sacar al tipo que está allado del cantante de Green Day =/. Yo lo hubiera colocado no sólo a él sino que a Rich y a Tim tbn, pero en primera fila jejej. I love you guys!

Posted by argeleb on 2009-11-29 01:40:04

Congratulations Tom!! Have the best voice in the world, but it seems unfair that this is not the rest of the band. Likewise Tom deserves it come with its harmonious voice to our hearts. Kisses from Argentina ***

I'm so glad Tom , You deserve the title !!! For me you are the best ( and the most important )Artist of the Century . I send you my love :)

Hi Keane, when are you guys gonna give concerts again? I haven't been to one, because of money problems... I've been a fan of Keane for 4 years now. Can't wait for you to come to Holland again, and this time I will come!

I'm really pleased for him. But where are the rest of Keane-it is weird that they have picked individuals from some bands, and yet the whole of the Arctic Monkeys??

ROFL. Sam, thanks for your arrow to Gary Lightbody. He's in even worse position than Tom if that's a consolation.Thanks for making me laugh. No, I didn't notice him at all. Let's hope in the end of the century they will swap places with Lily and whoever female artist (nothing against females, Gudrun) is in front of Tom. The sight will be more pleasant for us.

Tim gets a nice little nod from Bono in the U2 interview though.

How rude of them not to include Tim and Richard

Posted by Minerva777 on 2009-11-28 09:05:23

THE WHOLE BAND SHOULD´VE BEEN THERE!! CONTRATULATIONS TOM!!!!

Posted by Fede Gómez on 2009-11-28 06:10:59

I'm pleased to see that many people here have the same views I have... Why the hell was only Tom pictured? I mean, I love Tom, he has the voice of an angel, of course. But... er, isn't Tim technically the songwriter for Keane? Same goes for Brandon Flowers... while I LOVE him and am very happy to see him recognized here, the entire band writes songs... yeah he's the front man and writes lyrics but... ARGH music is more than just a pretty face and I'm sick of the focus being on the same people over and over.... Ahem. Sorry. Rant over. Congrats of course to Tom and Keane for their recognition and I look forward to purchasing this issue of Q!!!

Posted by travelfish on 2009-11-28 05:56:20

Tom, Could you please make a video on how to play Spiralling on guitar? I'm looking up tabs and chords, but its not making much sense ..

Posted by again and again on 2009-11-28 03:29:05

It is not a surprise at all! I knew always that Tom was a great artist!, a fine interpreter of great Tim´s music!I and a genial person! I am so grateful that you are creating so beautiful atmosphere for us. Tom and Keane are deservedly artists of century! "Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing , you will be successful."/ a. schweitzer/ congratulations, Tom! have a splendid each and every day ,

Posted by marinski on 2009-11-28 00:23:38

Tom, I read the interview and my attention calls your commentary on the unmentionable things that happen one all, I believe that it is true. There are things that maybe we wish to disappear but ultimately if not lived these things we are not the persons' class that we are now. Indicating a great truth " The life have discharges and falls, but it is important to remember that these doing your own and wonderful trip … and as soon as you begin, you have to cross it until the end, without fear it do that needs ". Do you believe it this way?... I know... by

@Miss Teake, the arrow is so funny, as if we wouldn't have spotted him! I got my copy in the post yesterday and it's a really good read. Gary Lightbody makes an appearance too, can you spot him? x

Posted by sam (uk) on 2009-11-27 20:33:29

The reason Tim and Richard are'nt there I assume is because Tom did a big interview with Q magazine, Im glad he is now healthier and happier, in a good place, making great music, long may it continue Tom.

Posted by lili104 on 2009-11-27 16:36:45

Great! Sam, it's not just you - it's ridiculous! We haven't even one decade passed but we already know the artists of the whole century?!! Are they kidding? Why is Tom in the background? Well, I'm happy he made it there, actually. It's Q after all. I'm sure Keane have made enough to be put on that cover again in 90 years' time. Thanks for the thick arrow - it was needed in this particular case. Carry on....guys.

I agree that Tim and Richard should have been on the cover also but congratulations to Tom! He does have the best voice of the century so he definitely deserves it!! and he should have been in the front ;) congrats again to Tom! :)

IF THERE IS ANY JUSTICE IN THE WORLD Q MAGAZINE WILL PRINT THE PHOTO WITH THE ARROW STILL ON!!

Posted by TheWiseGeordie on 2009-11-27 13:50:03

Congratulations Keane! I would have loved to see the whole band there in the photo but I guess Tom is representing the band. Now is it just me or is a century 100 years? They are obviously alluding to this century of course, but then they could've called it "Artists of the Decade" or "Artists of the Century So Far"......I was expecting a real eclectic mix of very old and brand new. :-)

Posted by sam (uk) on 2009-11-27 13:19:38

Congratulations! Keane deserves to be in front of it and what about Tim and Richard? They're great anyway! ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ ★★★★★★★★★★★ Kenza -ALGIERS-ALGERIA.

Posted by TimTamTom on 2009-11-27 13:05:17

No offend to Tom, but somehow 2 people are missing there, or? I think the guy who had the most pleasure about this pic-shoot is the "Gorillaz" guy. Can I marry him? And yes, I agree with Gudrun: so less women!

Posted by Johanna on 2009-11-27 12:50:35

Posted by Melisa on 2009-11-27 12:48:08

I agree with you Gudrun! where are al the important and influential female artists? WEll, Q isn't really a good representation of what headline they have. Artists of the century? More like "artists who have sold the most, of the century" ...that doesn't necessarily mean its good....BUT, congrats to Keane anyway!

Posted by emmia on 2009-11-27 11:41:08

Hey!! Congratulations, Tom!! HOWEVER, the artist of the decade should be "the whole" KEANE!! Every one of them contributes to be the great band they are!! So, Richard and Tim deserve to be in that picture too. HUGE HUGS FROM CHILE :)

Posted by Dra_House on 2009-11-27 10:48:02

I think I know why they didn't put Richard and Tim on the photo too. I think it's because there are only the people interviewed in the magazine who were photographed. If you look at what's written above the names, you'll read "24 NEW INTERVIEWS INCLUDE" and the names following correspond to all the people below. They interviewed only Tom so they just photographed him and only wrote his name (the same for Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day)

Posted by littlemisscharlotte on 2009-11-27 10:00:05

Posted by finshi on 2009-11-27 05:50:02

I totally understand your point! However, think that we will have another Q magazine issue next month, and the month after that and so one and so forth and the covers will be what THEY think is relevant! Is that really important? however, I love this word... "hopes and fears", "under the Iron sea" and "perfect symmetry" will last forever!!!! That's what really matters, their music, their love for each other and their bond! I'm happy enough for that. Cheers

I could not help noticing how many male artists are featured on this cover and only a few female ones. That does tell something important about the music business in general. THAT upsets me, and not why only Tom is on the cover and the other members of Keane are not.

no JARVIS? wot??!!

Posted by symphonie on 2009-11-27 05:10:57

Okay, I figure it like this. They seem (to me) to be men with integrity, so if Richard, Tim and Jesse were offended - would Tom not have declined to be on the cover by himself? Also, would this have been posted by them if Richard, Tim and Jesse were upset about not being on the cover? I really hope I did not offend anyone by saying this. But I do agree that it would have been nice to see his picture at the front.

Congrats!!!! Always #1 in my heart and ears :) Looks like a fun bunch of people to have some cheese and crackers with:) I bet Tommy had a blast chatting it up with everyone.

P.S. Tom should be in the front next to Paul McCartney! :D

Posted by Keanerocks7 on 2009-11-27 04:03:47

Congrats! The only thing that bothers me is that Tim and Richard aren't included (as well as the rest of Green Day, the rest of the Killers, etc.)...but it's only a magazine. It doesn't mean that Tim and Richard and everyone else not included aren't equally amazing musicians and artists! :)

Posted by Keanerocks7 on 2009-11-27 04:02:50

My dear Mihajasoa, I was just thinking about you too! I'm with you when you say: we can also say that Tom's voice made Tim's songs famous.Beautiful songs no doubt but Tom has such a wonderful tone and inflection of emotions.He is very talented great voice!

It should have been Keane, inclusive, as well...but big congratulations, Tom....at least they had the good sense to grab one of you...you're all #1 with me! Sherry, Michigan, USA....Keane fan forever!

Posted by Sherry W. on 2009-11-27 01:31:48

Tom, no matter if you're the front or back in the picture,your great voice precedes you and represents creativity and talent of Tim and Richard . Well done guys !!!!

pareciera que tom no hubiera posado para esa tapa, parece una foto insertada de otro lado. pero bien, Tom es realmente increible y tambien como todos opinan aqui deberian estar todos los del grupo. Keane i love you sooooooooooooooooooo much. besos.

That arrow cracked me up. Lame. erg, Nemesis. Ofc BJA would be on

Posted by b0red on 2009-11-27 00:23:13

I love most of the artists mentioned in that list and of course Keane is an esential part of IT!! I mean seriously, their music sounds like no other and Tim's lyrics are just mind blowing, they get me everytime. Tom's voice? No words exist to describe it. These three guys were meant to make music together that's for sure. I think the journalist made a mistake when he was listing the artists (Like you all said, it should've been Keane, but after all, we are only humans) so the only thing left to say is... KEEP IT UP GUYS!! (Y) :D

Posted by ksolalinde on 2009-11-26 23:54:39

Q can't be serious !... IMO, your place obviously is in front, Tom !... And where are your mates ?... We are swindled out, here !!!

Posted by Agnes(Fr-15/07/2007) on 2009-11-26 23:52:26

Undoubtedly some very special edition, and mas for Tom's mention, congratulations .... undoubtedly the talent and the delivery are recognized in algun moment of our lives and more when you fight for it .... congratulations Tom.

Posted by reyna_ds on 2009-11-26 23:48:57

i spent ages there looking for tom and low and behold theres a great big black arrow pointing at him!!! maybe next time i should go to specsavers :-S HOW DARE THEY PUT HIM AWAY AT THE BACK!!!

Posted by marinski on 2009-11-26 23:32:19

Well done, Tom! Saw this in the paper today. Was searching for Keane on the photo and found Tom. I would have gone ballistic if he (at least) hadn't been there! Your place is well deserved. By the way everyone, keep voting for Keane at Absolute Radio's Song of the Decade. The chart keeps changing all the time. Lots of love, Dawn xx

Posted by hille on 2009-11-26 22:57:23

Congrats! But Tom earns a place in the foreground and I miss Tim and Rich?! They have also earned to be on the cover! Brandon Flowers of The Killers is also great! ;)

Posted by Silke (Germany) on 2009-11-26 22:56:20

I don't really like when Keane is only represented by Tom. Don't get me wrong , I love hes voice and hes voice is the main reason I like the band, but Keane is Tom tim and richard. If U2 can be represented everywhere by Bono and The Edge, whats the problem with Keane showing on all the pictures together? Idk just a tought....Still, Keane part of the of the Artists of the century is something HUGE!!!!! ait fill us, Keane fans, with pride ! I love you Keane. Much love and positive Vibes from sao Paulo Brasil.

Posted by FlaviaLima on 2009-11-26 22:43:30

SkyShowers: you have every right to write what you want and A.B has every right to post what comments she likes. If they drive you nuts not reading them might help.

Posted by Mihajasoa on 2009-11-26 22:35:13

i am so pleased for you Tom, love you so much xxx i am moving to melbourne in Jan, i hope Keane will come down under xxx love you guys xxx

Congrats Tom, you deserve much more prizes. Your talent and sympathy delight us.

Posted by roosy on 2009-11-26 22:22:07

It's not fair, not only Tom but also Tim and Rich should have been on the cover, anyway...congrats Mr. Chaplin, you totally deserve it. This is really great to see so many generations of talents like artists of the Century, as Sir Paul McCartney, my beloved beatle... on the other hand, the arrow pointing at Tom is perfect, since he looks like an angel. Beijos, Regina.

Posted by Regina Brz on 2009-11-26 22:15:14

you're right guys,tim and richard should be there too,because keane are TTR,but anyway congrats to tommy,we are very proud of him,cheers from madrid,love keane

Posted by cryss on 2009-11-26 22:03:43

Bought mine today, short, but nice little interview with Tom inside too.

Posted by wrightk15 on 2009-11-26 20:52:16

@A.B., you drive me nuts. Tom isn't a cutie-wutie puppy dog. He's not the center of the universe. He's a human being. I think that this kind of attention must unnerve him. You're making us look bad as fans. Yes, we love him, but that is groupie behavior. I hate sounding like such a b*tch, but honestly, I felt like I had to tell you.

Posted by SkyShowers on 2009-11-26 20:47:17

Wow! What a special honor. I'm not surprised, Keane is finally getting the recognition they deserve. I hope they included Tim & Richard in the article too.

Posted by vicki1171 on 2009-11-26 20:44:03

Congrats to Tom - but where's Tim & Rich (Keane)? I'd put Tom up front beside Paul McCartney, between Bono and Lily there's a space for him there. I wonder if I can get a hold of the magazine here in the U.S.. Well, I'm off to the borders!!!!!! cheers, June.

Posted by k3k31974 on 2009-11-26 20:32:49

oh yeah you are right guys, they had to write Keane, instead of Tom Chaplin... as they wrote Coldplay, U2, etc... hummm

Posted by yessicachaplin23 on 2009-11-26 20:32:47

@Kittichan: Thanks for the explanation. I hadn't noticed Jonny because of the illusion of physical separation from Chris, much like they did with U2. It does all look rather odd. I wonder whether they were all told to try to wear black outfits and aloof expressions.

Posted by finshi on 2009-11-26 20:31:02

btw, the arrow pointing to Tom... LMAO! (but I think it was necessary 'cause his pic is very small...)

Posted by yessicachaplin23 on 2009-11-26 20:21:53

Yeah! you're right !!

Posted by RACHEL-RIO-BRAZIL on 2009-11-26 20:20:41

@finshi: well, it is Coldplay (at least half of coldplay) as you can see jonny on the left side of chris, just behind florence... what i don't understand is, why bono is in the bottom left corner while the rest of u2 stand behind lily allen... weird cover art.

Hahaha really that dart by Tom's head makes me laugh, if we fans don't see him. haha congatulations Tom! we are verry proud on you! Bummer that The other boys are dont standing on the picture! :( But its as always amazing! Xxx Priscilla from Holland

Posted by Piscilla_Holland on 2009-11-26 20:11:51

@Weary Traveller: Yes, that is a bit funny that they wrote Coldplay instead of Chris Martin, but not Keane instead of Tom Chaplin. The editor needs to explain his/her inconsistency!

Posted by finshi on 2009-11-26 20:09:33

Haha, the arrow pointing at Tom made me laugh ! Even without it, I would've immediately recognized Tom ^^ I also looked for Tim and Richard but I quickly understood only the frontmen were on the photo to represent their bands (Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day, Chris Martin from Coldplay, Paul McCartney from The Beatles - though anyway there wouldn't have been all of them -...), maybe it was because there would've been too many people and the picture would've been too large ? Anyway, glad to see Tom among all them, he's one of the Artists of the Century, for sure !!!!! Kisses from Charlotte in Paris

Congrats Tom!!!!!! Tom is perfect and best singer in the world. Many kisses for him............................

Posted by Yuri Yenia on 2009-11-26 19:51:53

@_Marinaaa I understand what you mean, but they also wrote "Tom Chaplin" on the cover (look at the pic), why not Keane? as if Tom is successful as a solo artist.. Tom is great don't get me wrong, but I don't think he IS Keane.. They wrote U2, they wrote Kinds of Leon... they could have written Keane too which would actually make sense! That's my opinion anyway...

Posted by Weary Traveller on 2009-11-26 19:50:47

Rachel, I was just thinking about you! I think you'll agree with me that if Tim's songs made Tom famous as SkyShowers said, we can also say that Tom's voice made Tim's songs famous- hope no one is offended but TRO said once he was s***, not exactly btw. Richard is doing a splendid work too. Impressive.

Posted by Mihajasoa on 2009-11-26 19:47:28

Great! Congrats Tom. Greetings from Chile. Daniela.

Posted by Almond blossom on 2009-11-26 19:39:35

Congrats!! What a rowdy bunch of artists. :P

Posted by Emmybear on 2009-11-26 19:38:51

I think they chose Tom instead of Tim to represent the band coz he's the one people who aren't fan can recognize the most easily. I mean, the singer is always the most known person of a band. I know what Bono looks like while I have not a clue about what the other members of U2 look like coz I don't really like this band. Seeing my point?

Posted by _Marinaaa on 2009-11-26 19:35:26
