I've heard about it (can't watch the video cuz Youtube doesn't load for me) but I think it'd be strange for Coldplay to rip off a Satriani song... U2 maybe, but not Satriani.

Yes,I have been following it.I've been a JS fan for many years.Check youtube someone has played both these songs side by side and decide for yourself.

The Satriani song is like a guitar part for the Coldplay song.
I vote for Satriani.

**SteveC** · 12-11-2008 04:14 PM

yeah, if I was on that jury I'd be giving it to Satriani...

It's becoming more & more difficult to come up with an original riff or note combinataion that hasn't been used yet.
Recycled music??

**SteveC** · 12-11-2008 04:52 PM

yeah, it's getting harder to find unused combos that sound good.
but the odds of that long a section coming out so similar have got to be astronomical.
like 12 to the power 128 or something ridiculous...

id give the win to Satriani...

...but do you really think any of the guys from coldplay have good enough taste to listen to Joe?

Joe Satriani would #### on coldplay, there was already that big scandal with stealing the melody of some song now there ripping off joe satriani? it doesnt show talent doing the same thing as someone else
