Satch sues Coldplay

[UFORocks]

Here's a cool theoretical breakdown of the music. (LINK)

It's gonna be a tough case to prove. Maybe Coldplay can settle out of court and buy Joe a wig.

I don't know, man. I couldn't name one Vai song or recognise one if it were playing. I don't think it is too far a stretch to think that Coldplay doesn't listen to him either.

Well, it'd sure be difficult attributing a Joe Satriani song to Steve Vai, wouldn't it?

Last time I listened to Vai, he sounded like Joe anyway.

That's only because Satch used to give Vai lessons.

Well see, there ya go. My case is made. Your honor, the defense rests.:ROTF:

Should I sue Jeff Loomis and Glen Drover?:idea:

If they were rich and famous...YES!

I gave both of them my demo, but I'm actually kinda flattered really.

Well, even if he wears stupid hats, I hope Satch gets some satisfaction... This was a blatent ripoff...

Thread resurrection! An interesting article on this today...

This is just like that time that Beyonce ripped off Graveland.

Coldplay's depressing ass music makes me wanna open a vein. Did I mention the gf loves 'em? lol

[Rsmacker]

Yeah, the "Buy Satch a Nice Big House in the Country" Charity.

[Hellbat]

For those that think it's a money grab for Satch, he is asking that the money from any damages goes to charity.

No, Spivy. They don't. That they sounded similar wasn't the point of the posting links to those instrumental tunes.
G.

On a slightly unrelated note ,I've had friends write passages of music that were almost identical to artists later submissions - I.E. (unfortunately no clip for comparison)but a friend had a riff and main progression for over a year ,then a new danzig album was released and it was nearly note for note !

Do I think danzig or his guitar player ripped him off - NO !However the guitar is a somewhat limited instrument (as are drums ,bass ,mandolin ,etc ....).So to sumerize what I'm trying to say is , sure there's a chance that coldfuck did intentionly rip off satch, however I'm inclined to believe that an extremely simmiliar coincidence happened , I'm nearly positive satch would not say that whiney ass bitch from coldplay sounds like his guitar !!!!Yes, there are strong simmilarities, if anything though, I believe this will give a liitle more exposure of Satch to the masses!

I'm not a fan of lawyers, and personally I'd like to believe Satch is not involved with this lawsuit.However the music business is just that (at thier level) a business, with fucktard lawyers !!!

Merry Christmass all
