Coldplay vs Satriani? Or Satriani vs Flickerstick

Hello fellow fans, long time no speak.

Has anyone heard of the lawsuit that Joe Satriani has filed against Coldplay? Apparently, Satriani feels that his song "If I Could Fly" was plagiarized by Coldplay in their song "Viva La Vida".

I've listened to both of the tracks in comparison...and while I can't say that Ole' Joe has any kind of lawsuit on his hands (IMO), I do feel that Flickerstick could file a suit against him for ripping off "When You Were Young".

Satriani recorded and released "If I Could Fly" in 2005, a solid year after Flickerstick released "When You Were Young". 2005 also yielded the obnoxious Killers tune of the same title....but I won't go there.

Seriously though, hop on Youtube and look the Satriani tune up. Then, pop in Tarantula and compare for yourself.

I'ts absolute rubbish if you ask me.

There is a few videos on youtube that show the coldplay rip off, also how the song was also ripped off a band from new york called the "creaky boards" (I think)

I like their version better either way

Cold play sucks assholes
