Alritey folks. Listen to this clip. Sounds familiar? Esp starting from the 50 second mark?
Yes, do you hear what i hear? I hear Coldplay's Viva La Vida!!!! Those blokes copied the legendary Joe Satriani!!!!!!
Look, ok, i know there are many of you Coldplay fans out there who are leaping to their defense - pretty common chord progression, can't help it, etc. But it just sounds too similar to me!
Yes, i have publicly declared before that i'm no Coldplay fan. In fact, i have always failed to see what so good about them. Their songs are nothing spectacular (i'm so gonna get murdered for this) and their rifts are so boring and irritating after a while. So i must admit i wasn't too unhappy when i heard that Joe Satriani is going to sue Coldplay for this song!
Still not bought over yet? Still can't hear Coldplay in Joe's song? Well, maybe this will help:-
*Taken from her brilliant Christmas album Star Bright, this was the first track which is sung in a medley with The Little Drummer Boy.

sigh, even my students can do a smarter copy than this........
I used to love coldplay, solely on the song yellow, because it has a lot of memories. apart from that, i kinda agree with you that their rifts are boring after a while.
btw, i love the pic you put up on the top of your blog...
hey, i oso only liked yellow!!!
cheers - i love the pic too. makes me miss scotland so much.
can't help but wonder if people start noticing similarities because it's been pointed out to them?
anyway i'm a huge coldplay fan - each to their own ;)
