EPTThey've brought absolutely nothing to music but have taken away so much (and no I don't mean money and fame). By you people listening to this mediocre, hackneyed shit you're condemning every artist with a modicum of passion and talent (this isn't in reference to Satriani). You don't even know what you like - the media just inculcates songs into your saftey zone until it begins to make you feel so comfortable you rather listen to this shit than a more worthwhile piece. So you may say, who gives a fuck - it makes me feel good. And to that I have no answer to give that would change anything. That's how I feel about the subject - but what do I know I've never heard a full song by them. teehee :x

How the fuck does that change the fact that they steal songs? Seriously lol, all you can come up with is a personal attack? hahaha damn I didn't even mention shit about them being mainstream or me being better than mainstream music listeners or whatever nonsense you somehow managed to get from my posts. THEY ARE THIEVES! | ||

honestly, no one really gives a shit. a lot of people (including me) don't appreciate the fact that the song is plagiarized, but it's a good song nonetheless. so just enjoy it. unless you're that much of a coldplay antifan. on-topic: I always thought it was an allusion to the French Revolution | ||

THEY ARE THIEVES! So there is absolutely no way that it happened to be a coincidence that the medlody of one song is similar to another? It's a relatively basic composition of notes, not some obscure beat that nobody would have ever thought of. I don't listen to music but the claim is absolutely ridiculous imo. Here you can check this youtube video out: I don't think anyone copied anybody, it's just a nice progression of chords that were nice that they all happened to stumble upon. | ||

That's correct, I believe there is absolutely no way this is a coincidence and honestly I believe this video proves rather than refutes that assertion. Notice that the similarities between Satriani and Frances Limon are about 2-3 seconds long and at a different tempo, whereas Coldplay Satriani is longer, at the same tempo, and way more similar. | ||

Anyone who can't see the obvious lack of integrity on Coldplay's part just isn't even worth having an intelligent discussion with. | ||

Or do you mean purely semantically since I used the phrase "they are thieves". Stealing a song off the internetz is in no way the same as stealing a song, changing it around, and selling it for profit. | ||
