"Viva La Vida" of "If I could fly"?

well they do look similar, but u r right, not enough to take them to court. when I said he had a case, I meant that they do seem to be inspired by his track.
 
It's because he's one of the most well-known examples of someone who is so focused on the technical side of playing that his music is bland and boring. Also, he's always seemed like kind of a jackass.
 
Everyone knows that music is really just a copy of the first one.
the music from nowadays, came back from beethoven and such, and even farther back XD
look at basshunter, they copied of another song and then made a song just like it but with different lines.
 
Pretty much. And his fans are the most snobbish f*cks on earth. Anything you put on isn't as fast or as talented as Satriani's stuff.
 
I saw this posted posted on another forum and thought it was funny. I'm pretty sure this song is older than both the Satriani song and the Coldplay song (the part to listen for is at 0:34):

Satriani is such a douche.
 
Well, I can certainly hear some similarities in the first few notes of the melody, but it doesn't resolve in the same way so I'd say that makes it not the same. There's only so many corabinations of notes out there, these things happen. Satriani neeRAB to get over himself.
 
I realised a while ago that the Pussy Cat Dolls' , "When I grow up" ripped their main riff straight off "He's Always There" by The YardbirRAB.

It was driving me crazy trying to think where I'd heard it before.
 
If you haven't heard Coldplay was accused of stealing the melody to Joe Satriani's song called "If I Could Fly" the song Coldplay released was called "Viva La Vida" I believe that Coldplay won awarRAB for this CD and not sure but I think the song also. But its really not the point. I love Joe's music and have listened for a long time....but I also listen to Coldplay and I have heard both songs and Coldplay totally stole the melody....I couldn't believe it. Joe should have held out for them to have to admit wrong doing....but they still had to pay royalities. I really hope if this song gets played on the radio that he gets royalities for it too....the whole thing just frosted my buns. Never steal something from another artist....just not right
 
Yeah, that too. He's actually providing an important service for people right now. For all those people who seem to think Chris Martin is a tool, Satriani is coming out to show them all what a real tool is like.
