    Joe Satriani sues Coldplay - good luck to him !

    Guitar virtuoso the Satch-meister is to sue Coldplay nicking large chunks of his "If I Could Fly" song for their title track Viva La Vida ... and I have to say Joe should be expecting a sterling cheque in the post any time soon based on a comparison (i.e. chord change, melody & hook).

    This release was mastered direct from vinyl at the request of the DJ and as such features natural sound characteristics of this medium such as record surface noise.

                  I don't think it is enough resemblance for him to win

                      someone correct me, but i thought song copyrights only covered melodies and not chord changes

                          Originality is the fine art of remembering what you hear but forgetting where you heard it.

                                  In other news, its just music. Who cares. It's not like they sampled his playing, or remade the same song.

                                  It's just chords, I seriously doubt coldplay sat down and listened to exactly how they wanted it to sound.

                                  Plus, Brian Eno would have say in this too...
                                  as I heard Eno worked with Fripp who is touring with Satch as G3 , they must have talked..
