Joe Satriani Sues Coldplay

[Excellent2]

I can see his point in the main riff.

[Andys]

"Satriani had been trying to contact coldplay about the song but they ignored him.

Eventually when they had no option but to respond, Chris Martin denied that he'd ever heard of Satriani, I guess he forgot having spoke about him in an interview in 2002 (VH1)"
looks like he got owned there

Hope he sues them, Satriani is god.

lol @ how the solo is clearly not even close to coldplay's song as it goes on.

people, get over yourselves. pop music is all based on repeating- both these songs are literally the same 4 or 5 notes over and over. theres millions and millions of songs the majority of popular ones being written in the exact same key, there's bound to be some coincidences. oh by the way, everyone has failed miserably to compare anything other than the chorus and solo of the song. coldplay have better things to do than to copy joe satriani.

hell, you're wasting your time if you just listen to joe satriani.

Similar in areas, nowhere near close enough to sue though lol.

Also notice how the "copied" bit isn't even musically similar. Satriani of course is on a guitar because he's boring like that and doesn't make anything other than tracks for guitar, whereas the Coldplay sample that apparently sounds so much like it is sung. Woops! You can't copyright a sung melody, unlucky my dears

I love Coldplay
