December 9, 200817 yr Satriani has filed a lawsuit against Coldplay for plagiarism. Coldplay's new hit song "Viva La Vida" is eerily similar to Satriani's "If I Could Fly." Take a listen/look at this YouTube video and tell me what you think. Personally, I despise Coldplay and hope they end up paying out the butt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ofFw9DKu_I
December 9, 200817 yr In a strange twist, there is another "lesser" known band that may sue both of these groups because they claim the music is originally theirs. I think they were called The Creaky Boards or something like that.
December 9, 200817 yr Coldplay is right up there with Radiohead for me. Some of their music is okay, but I just don't get all the hoo bla-blah about them. So I can only hope they get put in their place in this instance. :lol:
December 9, 200817 yr Can he sue them for being terrible? That's what I was thinking - perhaps they should've stolen a good song.
December 9, 200817 yr Can he sue them for being terrible? :lol: I gotta admit Jim, I've been waiting to see what you had to say about this one.
December 9, 200817 yr 'A Rush of Blood to the Head' was a great album, they've really gone downhill since then. Martin should have kept his word and stopped making music.
December 9, 200817 yr I LOVE Coldplay, but it appears Satriani has a good case. It would have been bad enough if it was just the progression that was the same but in this case, the song is in the same key.
December 9, 200817 yr :lol: I gotta admit Jim, I've been waiting to see what you had to say about this one. Why would you have to wait? If you have to ask Jim doesn't like it. :thumb:

December 9, 200817 yr I do believe they might have themselves a winnable case there. Undeniable similairities when the songs are played against one another like that.
December 9, 200817 yr Everytime I hear of this band I think back to the line from 40 year old Virgin where the two guys are playing video games. " You know how I know your gay? Because you like ColdPlay!":sssh::lol:
