  • those two tracks don't match they sound shit together

  • if CP's vocal line & JS's guitar line were the same, CP'd lose. They're not. (CP's more like a segment of Starship's "Hearts".) We're left w/a subjective judgment if CP 'stole' enough other elements. Same chords isn't enough, but w/a virtually identical groove / rhythm, tempo, & tonal colors, it's worthy of consideration. The top notes of the chords, which form another melody, seem the same. This line goes on quite a while, thus is more than a mere riff incidental to the tune's success.

  • Comment removed

  • Its not like coldplay being sued is going to ruin them. its not like their not rich. they sold more than 40,000,000 albums (Viva La Vida album) plus this video didnt sound like their similar. the one thing i always wandered though is who won the case?

  • Has Chris really got tattoos? I haven't seen any, but maybe they're in private places?

  • hahaha i love how the one part is like 8 seconds long that it sounds like. and oh my god! the song is in the same rhythm as the other one! that never happens!

  • Chris is an undisputed genius- Joe Satriani is disputably a good guitarist. I'm sorry to say that Satriani has undoubtedly plagiarized Peter Frampton's song- Show Me the Way! Chris is innocent of all charges.

  • so true!

  • Oh wow, two songs with the same tempo. THAT'S never happened before. Get a life.

  • Go to hell

  • its the same fucking chorus you dumbass! in the same key same tempo. after you have a chorus you build around that and thats exactly what they did

  • you're guys are just coldplay haters. What a life, accusing people for stealing music. They don't sound that much a like. They have so many different instruments. if coldplay did in fact steal it you would hear A LOT more about it. Joe is just jealous. 3 other bands clam that coldplay stole this very song. God people are pathetic. Enjoy listening to shitty music. More coldplay concerts for me :)

  • Coldplay are guilty of nothing except being a world class band!

  • Wow. WRONG!!!!!!!

  • thats so gay.

    coldplay did not steal this stupid song.

    one day all sounds are going to sound the same because people are gonna run out of originality.

    they just so happen to sound "similar".

    it was bound to happen.

    the members of coldplay have enough talent that they dont have to steal somebody else's shit.

  • Its not shit

    Coldplay sucks

    Satriai rules

    And he's original

    and indenting at each sentence is gay.

  • think what you want,

    & i'll think what i want.

    kay thanks =]

  • You're very stupid aren't you? Coldplay sucks is a biased and unfactual opinion. And this is a common chord progression, I've heard it many times before. Did Joe steal it from all of the others who used it? No, it's COMMON, AKA, it's popularly used among countless musicians. Just because Coldplay became amazingly famous from taking that progression and forming it into something spectacular, while Satriani is stuck in yours and a few other's memories, doesn't mean shit.

  • 10 years coldplay won't be remembered like most bands these days. Satriani on the other hand will be like beethoven and carry on from his musical genius

  • I haven't even heard of Satriani until this crap happened. He's not that great in my opinion

  • thats most likely because you don't play guitar and if you do you REALLLLLLY suck if you never heard of him. he is an instermentalist which has better guitar than most songs where its all about singing. whats better coldplays gay ass simple guitarist or the guitar god satriani

  • actually I played for 5 years. I think his guitar playing is all over the place... its not what you can do its how you do it. You can do all these crazy things on guitar but it doesn't mean you should do them. Coldplay's guitar player Jonny is great. Its talented. And even though he's not all over the place and not messy its not simple.

  • AAAAAAAAAAAnd, that's only one chord pregresson. They don't sound EXACTLY alike. Shut up and think before you post something out of rage. Seriously, they are not THAT alike.

  • if the key is different and they play different instruments and Coldplay copyrighted it and Joe didn't, he technicly couldn't sue them. And besides, Coldplay is being sued by about 4 others and their lawyers have a good point, if they are all sueing Coldplay because they claim it's thier song, shouldn't they be sueing each other? The only reason they are sueing is because Coldplay made the most money.

  • It's SO copyrighted! And coldplay's not gonna make much more the way they're destroying the art of music. WHAT JERKS!!! COLDPLAY SUCKS!!

  • It isn't a coincidence Coldplay sucks and Satriani is great so how about you leave. Satriani did steal some things but Coldplay is even worse. They have stolen five song for god's sake!!!

  • COLDPLAY RULE!!! Satriani is a bald queer who is famous for playing pathetic electric guitar......Most bands or singers nowadays just play for either money or the fame and use stupid voice enhancers and shit like that....

    Coldplay are original and clever, unlike Satriani

  • Joe Satriani is the best so go to hell ur the queer coldplay can suck it

    Coldplay has never been original they steal a shit load of songs so close ur trap

  • Dude, you can't compare music and say one is better. People are entitled to their opinon. Honestly, I think Joe Satriani's song is terrible. The songs have their similiarities, but they are not EXACTLY the same so shut your trap. Natmacproductions is entitled to his freaking opinon for the love of God.

  • He may be entitled to an opinion, but i have te right to inform him that he his retarded and most likely deaf. Hearing satriani makes you understand how God sets grace down on earth in the form of awesome, all wrapped up in a guitar. Add a guitar lord, and greatness s born. "Thou shalt not tempt thy lord (concerng the reason of which satriani is alive)"

  • TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!!!!!

  • Have you actually compared Satriani's song to Peter Frampton's Show Me the Way? I think then you might be able to make an informed comment!

  • what other songs do you THINK they stole? They didn't steal any of them but I am curious to know what one's you think they happend to steal

  • I am always struck by the way they took the melody from Kraftwerk's "Computer Love".

    I don't remember the name of their song though..

    I find it a lot more striking...

  • theres a better comparison video on youtube. i dont think guy changed the key of one of them to match. thats why it sounds bad

  • Am I the only person who can see that Satriani has shamelessly plagiarized Peter Frampton's Show Me the Way?

  • true

  • Thanks-I'm glad somebody has a brain!

  • omg wtf are u talking about! he is a genious! exact notes in the same order like this is no coincidence , its a copy, and coldplay had done it before , and they admitted it, they stold "talk" from te song computer love, buy kwerkids

  • well then what the fuck are you talking about do you know how much stuff that bald dickhead stole from cat stevens

  • i know but u know how much coldplay stole? they stole talk viva la vida and 3 others

  • they didn't steal talk at all. They got their permission

  • except they dont match perfectly?

  • you should take the music out of coldplay so its just the vocals

  • At least I have a brain- saddo. Satriani is plagiarizing Peter Frampton's Show Me the Way! You are so ignorant, you make Paris Hilton seem like Plato!

  • satriani is much better than coldplay

    he has very goods songs

  • Coldplay did greffite in his fathers old house and he almost wait to jail for it lolz but he got lucky then like 2 days leter he got jumped like 3 times but hes better now

  • coldplay is way better

  • Unbelievable!!! NSYNC!!! The guy from Cold Play is doing Satriani`s Licks with his voice!!!

    I think that the lack of tallent is so Ignorant!!!

    Also the tempo is the same!!!

    Coldplay is %0.12 music quality

    Satriani % 100 music quality and a great person aswell,donating millions of dollars to charity,why sueing these guys if not a plagiary?

    Also there`s no doubt that Coldplay may copy notes from Satch but Satch from them? hahaha!! No doubt it`s a plagiary.

  • Thx for the comment dude! Btw, the tempo is NOT actually the same! I multiplied the Satriani song by 6.45x and it happened to match that stolen song from coldplay.

  • You mean .645 right?

  • for one Coldplay didn't steal any music

    for two... COLDPLAY DONATES TO CHARITY TOO!

    AS LYRICS IN A COLDPLAY SONG SAY:

    "I don't want to battle from beginning to end"

    LETS FOLLOW THOSE LYRICS AND END THIS STUPID SHIT OK???

  • wow! because everything chris martin says is true!

  • I think on the day Coldplay's lawyers will be bigger and better! I really don't think somebody of Chris Martin's stature needs to plagiarize anybody!

  • You don't know the half of it. Did you actually LISTEN to the song? If you did, maybe it was while your brain was off.

  • Satriani's riffs are actually similar to many created by Deep Purple, Genesis and Jethro Tull. But I don't see those bands suing him. This should be interesting....

  • many artists share similar riffs but if you notice, The Coldplay and Satriani riffs are at the exact same time signature and are synced perfectly if placed over each other. Did Colplay rip off Satriani? I honestly don't know, but if not then you have to admit that this is a pretty strange coincidence

  • ya, i kinda heard about this a day before i posted.

  • rien a voir coldplay et meilleurenet leur chanson diferente

  • English please.

  • I really thought this was a publicity stunt, but who knows?

    Are you aware of the controversy surrounding Britney's Womanizer? It is very similar in parts to Sun Arise by Rolf Harris!

  • Hey, Thanks! If you like enough of my stuff, u should subscribe! Were gonna post more!
