Joe Satriani Sues Coldplay

[troublemaker1111]

How can you say their music is crap? Because according to Rolling Stone Magazine they had the #7 best album of the year. Does crap music make the top of the Billboard Charts? Just because you don't like it doesn't make it crap.

well, yes, crap music makes it to the charts every week. Charts say nothing about the quality of music. You know that as well I do I'm sure. Coldplay are perhaps my least favourite band and that to me makes them crap; I didn't think I had to qualify that with "in my opinion" cause that really goes without saying.

Yeah, this is shit, because they target Coldplay and like millions of other bands have plagiarised his music.

like who?

tbh, Coldplay's version is generic, so it sounds a bit like Satch's but not enough to call it plagiarism.

The fact is, it's your opinion that they are crap. Now if you still want to continue this discussion, I can go ahead and infract you for going off topic or you can stay on the topic at hand. Enough said.

I haven't heard anything, which is making me wonder is Coldplay settled with Joe.

They better, because if they don't they will lose in court.

As soon i heard Viva Lad Vida i thought id had heard it somewhere before.

They should get sued for this tbh.

same here
but i liked their work

[LightWarrior]

Joe should solo them ass to the moon!!!

I haven't heard anything either! And I thought this was going to get interesting...

There's no doubt in my mind that they've lifted this, whether by accident or not. The fact of the matter is, even if it was an accident Coldplay have to pay the price, that's the law.

Exactly.

With the Grammy's so close they wouldn't want to hurt their name more then they already did. It was smart of them to come back with that letter saying they didn't do it, then settle outside of the press. They get their name cleared, win a few grammy's, and everyone thinks they didn't do it...

That's some good managing and press play for ya.

Is this the vid you originally posted? http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=UvB9Pj9Znsw it's dead now so please tell me if it's the wrong one. I really liked this Coldplay song but there can't be much of an arguement that they deffinately sound alike and the roots of this song were from 'If I Could Fly'. Either way they go they'll more than likely lose in a court case so they're best to settle this privately to save some of their reputation. Imo I don't care so much because I'm not a die hard Coldplay fan anyways but I still love the song and think the both songs are great so why not try to pull it off (jokes) :P.
