My Coldplay tickets just arrived in the mail.
I don't know why I am going to see them but I am!

i think it sucks when they don't at least recognize the artist they stole it from. On one side, ASCAP is taking way too much money and it's not going to real artists, so I say sample or use away as an F U to them, but they should list the sample in the album. Coldplay has admitted to stealing music before. On Storytellers, they said they took the baseline from a Kate Bush song. Lame. One, because I agree, it's lazy unless you're sampling for House or R &B or something electronic, and stealing for a pop song is pure laziness. So is their new album, while I'm at it. Don't get me wrong, I love early coldplay, but the new one stinks it up. Secondly, to end the longest paragraph ever, Kate Bush??? You're gonna sample one of those?? yikes!

Did they sample it or did they play it themselves?

Do you guys think stuff like that can be entirely coincidental though?

It is completely possible when the melody is so simple.

I agree. Coldplay and Satriani are not the only people who have come up with a melody that sounds like that.

There's also...Bob Dylan, Hendrix(in some cases), 30 Seconds to Mars, Bright Eyes. Im just stating bands that have made songs with simple but fantastic melodies.

i dont really think coldplay is coffee music, but it does put me to sleep when i listen to it.

Personally I think that Satriani ought to have been distancing himself from such a terrible, awful song. I find it humorous that any self-respecting musician would want to take credit for this trollop.
