Joe Satriani sues Coldplay

[yeahwho]

That in itself is funny, because it just is, of all the bizarre twists in the music industry, this is the only one that could make me listen with any critical ears to either musical group, because I just feel they both SUCK.

So in keeping with the suck level of this music section I present you with this query.

Are lamers Coldplay ripping off lamer Joe Satriani (http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/theampersand/archive/2008/12/07/216213.aspx)?

interesting. coldplay will get out of it somehow scot-free

[b i o n i c]

i'd rather he beat the fuck out of christ martin with gwyneth paltrow's pretentious boney face

[mate_spawn_die]

i was disgusted when i heard coldplay ripped off "computer love (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0rYO1GDyis)" by kraftwerk

[AceFace]

^ from what i've read, Coldplay sampled Computer Love with permission. Not unlike most hip hop.

i still think Computer Love rules much harder.

[yeahwho]

Coldplay responds to Joe, Joe responds to Coldplay (http://www.komonews.com/news/entertainment/35821229.html#idc-container).

I love Satch, can do without Coldplay, but this song was released in 2002. They should both pay up. Drops at 35 seconds.
