Thoughts?

i think joe satriani is a fuck faced cum guzzling monster.

I enjoy Santriani's guitar work, but honestly, this just seems like your run of the mill, attempt to get some quick cash, type of lawsuit. And plus, in music it's not all that uncommon for riffs to sound alike.

its such a simple melody its gonna be similar to a lot of songs, its already been bought up as being similar to some nobodies song from some shit band.

and you cant say coldplay have ripped it cus no fucker who isnt going bald but still has long hair at the back of their heads listens to him

If copying a song was a sue-worthy offense, Coldplay probably would have been sued at least 30 times...


....by themselves

Publicity is still publicity.

I think that everyone should sue Coldplay, as they have breached their duty of care to our ears.

they probably made a lot of money off that song, he will probably get a lot of money.

The stupid part is that Joe Satriani hasn't been relevant for a while, and nobody listened to his 2004 album.

He is great at guitar but his career peaked a while ago.

I met Satch a few weeks ago. I don't know why he feels the need to do this...or why he bothered listening to Coldplay to find this out.

If the actual song sounded like the little mash-up in that video it would easily be the best Coldplay song ever.

I see Joe's point.
