  • ......And who invented the music?...who invented the chords, the scales , etc, etc?.....which came first the chiken or the egg?

  • And at the end, the best song is... both combined!!! The two lead guitars mix so well together, in tone, pitch and tempo - I don't know if they are originally in the same exact key or if they share similar chord progression and they were "matched" in pitch and tempo, but they match perfectly. Maybe Satch and the Enanitos could sit down and talk a bit about it :-)

  • does it matter?

  • what about Marty Balin Hearts?

  • them together should of been on sonic the hedgehog emerald stage.

  • y por que no se juntaron para trabajar???suenan muy lindas juntas

  • hey it happens a lot in the music world, you'll hear songs that sound similar to others but thas how it is, some steal or borrow or just made it n sounds like another song n well also i learned that...

    GOOD MUSICIANS BORROW, GREAT MUSICIANS STEAL

    so yeah peace!!!

  • Enanitos Verdes!!!

  • @M2SWEDEN Yes, in fact, he did. :)

  • the difference of clean and distortion of course

  • It's just a simple, basic melodic line that makes sense over that particular chord change, people. (and the chords aren't even the same here like in the Coldplay song) Want to have some fun? ... Try looking at similarities in blues songs.

  • Frances Limon is so much better, more soulful!

  • who the fuck are los enanitos verdes????????

  • @oze84 los enanitos verdes son de argentina y esa cancion la cantaban primero ellos aguanten los enanitos carajo y aguante argentina

  • green little elves - one of the best bands of south america back in the 80s and early 90s

  • Joe started writing If I Could Fly 7 years prior to it been recorded....

  • ou fuck men jeo satriani is god of guitar and enanitos verdes is like my dog​shit

  • si se parecen, per bueno fuera de esto Francés Limón me parece una excelente canción, de mis favoritas de enanitos verdes

  • combine the songs ffs.

  • solo 2 tonos

  • Not very similar in my opinion. Also to attempt to enhance the similarity it sounds like the tempo of the Satriani song was sped up.

  • Es solo una melodia...en verdad no se porque Satriani "reclamo" por esto. Que estupidez. En verdad fue a reclamar por derechos de autor? Creo que lo respeto un poco menos ahora :S.

  • They are quite simmilar. But different groove in both of them, showing different emotions in the the playing. I do not know if Joe Satriani have plagerized this or not. But when i listen to "If i Could Fly" he definetly playes the song whole heartedly, and i've never herd a song that's been plagerized played whole heartedly before. Thus thinking it might just be a stroke of luck or bad luck when it comes to this. But both songs are good in theire seperate ways...

  • @evilreddog people *cover* other songs wholeheartedly - sometimes sounding much better than the original versions.

    Why wouldn't be possible to plagiarize with the greatest sincerity?

  • y porque nadie le reclamo a satriani por este plagio.... claro,, porque es mas famoso Coldplay que satriani por lo que los enanitos verdes no es mucha la plata que podrian sacar de el XD...

  • mas bandas pedorras copiando a satriani... patetico.

  • @b4shR Tonto weon... el tema de los enanitos verdes es mas antiguo XD

  • @b4shR

    el tema de los enanitos es del 2002, fijate bien

  • me gusta mas el tema de satriani

    es mucho mejor!!

  • Maybe that guy was trimming Joe Satriani's hedges and was whistling the melody, when suddenly Satriani was inspired to write "If i could fly"?

  • @nirvana2465 hahaah best comment ever hahaha..hate those fucking wetbacks hahahaha.

  • No their styles are simmilar because they both learned directly from blues songs and Jimmy Hendrix records. There are tons of songs of Felipe Staiti that look like Satrian's songs and viceversa.

    It's what happens when you're a true musican writing music and not untuned garbage like Wes Borland or Kurt Cobain.

    In this days is hard to tell which musicans actually make their songs and which are given to them but I asure you this guys are legit.

  • @BurnRoddy it was just a joke man, im not questioning anyones credibility

  • todos se copian a satriani por que no les da la cabesa para imbentar sus

    propias canciones,entonces se copian a joe,el inbenta y no

    se copia

  • @MrArgamonte Resulta que el tema de Los Enanitos Verdes es mas antiguo que el de Joe Satriani...

    un poco de objetividad!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @larryfloro jajajajajajaja!! quien me respondio?...una mujer?

    jaja!

  • I think the cause here lies in cryptomnesia.

    That is, someone heard an amazing progression somewhere at some point, then "remembers" it later, quite possibly while jamming on something. The result is that you think it's yours while it's not.

    So, it's plagiarism without actually knowing the other song.

    The Coldplay song was quite a bit more obvious, so I doubt it's the same thing there.

  • A que la chingado yo digo que mejor hagan un puto concierto y junten a coldplay enanitos satriani cat stevens y que todos toquen al mismo tiempo saquen mucha lana y ya cada quien para su casa y se acabo todo el pedo

  • @Acteck4 c t olvidó creaky boards

  • Comment removed

  • they some really awesome together :D

  • Son casi igualeeees!

  • Am I the only person that thinks this sounds wicked awsome when they are combined?

  • @Jman8224 AWESOME DUDE!!! ^^

  • @Jman8224 No, I think it too... LOL We should release our hit mixing them! (We wouldn't be the first to do it so...tututut...... LOL)

  • @Jman8224

    nope me too!

  • @Jman8224 satriani shoud join the band

  • esos son licks comunes entre guitarristas, nadie le robo a nadie

  • I'm from argentina and this is the first time i feel proud of my country.

    (musically speaking) 

  • I hate how kit27 is trying to make a point... Los Enanitos caught the beat first, then Joe Satriani took the beat... the Coldplay took the beat... and then Joe Satriani sued Coldplay... its just a cluster fawk of stealing 1 beat... lmao

  • One thing is certain. TOGETHER THEY SOUND EPIC!

  • They should play together..

    it sounds GREAT ;D

  • @CharlsonChew2 agreed, and same with the beatles, the who, and eric Clapton in some songs. If what satch is sayin about starting to reord this song ten years ago is true than this would definitely not be plagiarism and every1 shuld just chill with saying satch is a hypocrite

  • Satch is amazing but then again he screwed himself over. Look at how many songs have the similar riff. So many songs before his was ever released so it made him look like he did the same shit that he's accusing Coldplay of. But thank God that they settled it, both Coldplay and Satriani are musical geniuses and legends!

  • According to a website, Joe started writing the song 10 years before it was released.

  • Satriani is just a complete loser tossbag who steals others songs and then goes... THIS IS ALL MINE... I just hope Satriani's era comes to an end soon :) Shows there's no god when ppl like Satriani exist to try to take music into the dark ages. When he has never made anything original and his whole life. I think he needs to lay off the "harry".

  • @valcarni1

    what the....

    scatch would never "steal" a song. "viva la vida", "if i could fly" and "frances limon" sound just pretty similar because there are used pretty common chords. i think that there a million songs which sound like them when u play them in an equal speed...

    but anyway... satriani`s song is the best.. basta :P

    greetz from berlin, germany!!!

  • @valcarni1 go away. satch is better than you.

  • Here's my thoughts:

    A) Satch didn't steal this song, stop being drama queens.

    B) Satch acted on emotion when he sued Coldplay, because "If I Could Fly" was dear to him and near to his heart.

    C) Satch made a mistake, he did not have much of a case, and this song proves its

    D) Stop making Satch out like he's an evil disgusting hypocrite. The dude made a mistake and he settled it and Coldplay's okay and he's okay and this band is okay so CALM DOWN and stop trying to villianize someone

  • Bob Dylan would be the richest man if he sued every one who copied his work. Whether your aware of it or not, stuff like this happens

  • Not to play "sides" or offend anyone who likes each respective song/musician... but seriously? Coldplay BLATANTLY ripped off Satriani's VERSION of LEV(Los...etc)'s melody. Yes, they sound similar, but it's kind of different in Coldplay's situation where they literally stole Satriani's melody note per note (well I guess you could technically say interval per interval since it's in a different key I think). Either way, what Satch did happens all the time in music, Coldplay ripped it.

  • @Scarified2012 yh like those first 3 musicians made preety similiar musics, but Coldplay ripped Statriani off...

    You play them at same time, and just get like :O

  • Mario Invensible Theme > Los Enanitos Verdes > Joe Satriani > Coldplay

    OMG hahaha

  • @zhantiiX I never said that! I only talked about Satriani and Los Enanitos, because coldplay... In my opinion, are good but not genius (maybe they copy) :P

  • d hecho estas si se parecen... no digo q la haya copiado... pro por la otra comparacion cn coldplay no se parece,...

  • "Enanitos Verdes" and their song "Frances Limon"....2001!... listen it, it is more older than Satriani's song :S

  • WOW i like them together. sounds gooood

  • Maybe... both are genius! Satriani didnt copy, im sure.

  • @otromexicanomas and the guys from Coldplay are also genius??

  • Oh so now Los Enanitos Verdes are sueing Satrianni??? FUCK IT!!!!!!

  • they both sound kool together

  • Can we just settle this by saying Satriani's one is the best?

  • @sambeetonisgay why?? 

  • @JESUSDNAZARETH Because it is?

  • @sambeetonisgay really? why? Satriani has a lot of amazing songs but this one... ammmm...

    On the other side, the one from enanitos has good music and even better lyrics...

  • Someone mix them all together!

  • Coldplay > Los Enanitos > Gay Satriani

  • los enanitos>joe satriani>coldplay>fuck whats next justin biber??

  • @MrVDC1996 your mom

  • @MrVDC1996

    Justin Biever with Rihanna

  • @MrVDC1996 oh one more correction

    Cat Stevens>los enanitos>joe satriani>coldplay XD

  • @MrVDC1996 LMFAO!!!

  • @MrVDC1996

    hahaha. Usually don't laugh at retarded justin bieber jokes. But this one made me laugh my ass off.

  • @MrVDC1996 cat stevens

  • @MrVDC1996 You forgot J'en Ai Marre by Alizee

  • Holy shit that sound amazing!

  • Try chopping out the beginning, i think they would sound very different. Well, compared to saying theyre identical.

  • Both at the same time and viva la vida all at the same time would be awesome!

  • Since the Los Enanitos guys did their song before Satriani, they might have agreed with Joe doing like a remake. I say this, because if Joe copied them, there would be trouble.

  • Joe Satriani eats humble pie. He can sue coldplay for them making a song that ALMOST sounds like his, but Joe rips off Mexicans, and the mexicans don't even sue! forget Viva La Vida, bring on VIVA LA MEHICO!

  • @alexkills los enanitos verdes its a band from ARGENTINA! not from mexico

    why you north americans think latin america its only mexico???

  • @Blackedward I just found out about los enanitos verdes. Aside from the comment, I only meant to be humorous. If there was any harm really, I apologize. Anyways, to me, it's kinda a gutsy move to sue someone who's song barely sounds like satch's song, whereas the same satch song sounds almost completely like Frances Limon. Therefore, to me, nullifies the argument that 1. Joe Satriani is completely original, and 2. Coldplay ripped joe's song. Also, fanboyism is a disease, I.E. Satch worshippers.

  • @Blackedward Asi son de pendejos, tienen poca cultura. Creen que desde mexico hasta chile somos los mismos, pasando por Guatemala. (¬_¬)*

  • @alexkills to bad that your opinion doesn't count, asshole so shut up.

  • @jimmyleppard6 Ow, my feelings!

    BTW, learn how to spell before you tell me what counts and what doesn't. It's Too, not to.

  • @alexkills dude, I know that it's TOO...I though I wrote it...sorry for my bad keyboard, sucker.

  • OH SHI- *divides by zero*

  • El tema de satriani es del año 1992, lo publico en el disco del 2004...

  • Comment removed

  • Actually Satriani already used a part of "the Pavane" from Faure in crwd chant but this ine is free of copyright so people don't care at all.

  • they share 3 notes in the main melody line whoopdee fuckin' do was this really worth putting up a video for?

  • Sorry, you can say all you want about this guy who analysed it correctly and they turned out to be totally different songs. But something to remember, is that most people aren't trained musicians. So from an average music fan's point of view, the songs are almost the same. It all sounds the same and if you don't know much about music you could mistake it for being all the same notes and chords. Also, in the Joe V Coldplay video the same guy made, he looked at rythym, tempo and meter. Here...

  • @blink182fan10 ...He did neither of those, despite it was obvious the two were incredibly similar. I think the guy likes Joe Satriani, and hates Coldplay, so was very biased. I think from a selling or musical enjoyment point of view, these two songs are far more similar than Joe's and Viva La Vida.

  • is this true or fake?

  • No peleen por bobadas que todos estan en en tonos diferentes mas bien gocen del buen rock and roll y muevan esa cotopla manada de carretudos...

  • all of you should go to creativeguitarstudio and see a highly trained musical theorist compare the 3 songs. Satriani's is vastly different than Enanitos Verdes and Coldplay's is an exact copy of If I could Fly. Problem is Satriani is such a more sophisticated and better guitarist than either of the other 2, that he adds much more to a melody that sounds to us very much the same

  • They do sound very familiar, although, joe's song has been pitched shifted up to fit "Frances Limons" key.

  • can anyone mix me an mp3 of those two songs together? i'd love that 8D

  • holy shit, joe ripped this guy, my mind's going to explode with the hypocrisy, oh well I still like satch more.

  • same beginning riffs but different bridges and ends , so the los enanitos wouldnt win if he wanted to sue joe. The coldplay incident the rythm of that song is the same as the lead to joes 'if i could fly'

  • its funny how joe sued coldplay and los enanitos verdes didnt sue joe. these two songs sound more alike than Viva La Vida and if i could fly

  • haha it actually sounds really good played together :P

  • Las dos juntas están bien. Habría que juntarlas con Viva la Vida

  • estan en tonos diferentes

  • @jinset estan en tonos iguales, tal ves te refieres a que la de satriani está en octava mas alta.

  • last 2 notes are obvius way to end end the first one, so I belive thousands of songs have same 3 notes somewhere

  • they clash together, they use different chord sequences :P Coldplay and Satriani's versions have more similarities...

  • la cancion de satriani es mas baja..le subieron el tono

  • Tal vez esto del "plagio" es medio relativo. Pensemos por ejemplo en un género como el Blues. Siempre se respeta una "rueda de acordes", se usan compases ternarios y el tempo no varía demasiado entre un tema y otro.. Lo mismo ocurriría con el rock and roll basado en tres acordes. ¿Todos los músicos de Blues y RnR hacen plagio?mmmh...

  • @Pentatonikus

    no olvides la mierda... (generalmente conocida como reggaeton)... si eso no es plagio entonces no se que lo es :/ xD

  • @Pentatonikus Es algo muy distinto, porque los patrones del blues son distintos a los del rock, y por ejemplo una progresión de acordes igual a otra no significaría ningún plagio. Pero una línea melódica sí, totalmente ya que éstas no se identifican como patrones.

  • they should jam together! haha..

  • They actually sound gd together

  • jajaja,, por favor.. como decia abajo,, son cuatro notas,, Tanto coldplay, satriani, los enanitos y cat stevens las usaron y punto.. lo que importa es lo que se haga con esas notas.. :D ...

  • It's only 4 notes that are the same,

    nothing serious,

    just like the coldplay one.

  • Shame on you Satch

  • @jastral coldplay stole it off him.....

  • sweet

  • wow its the same with just diffrent melodic feel with that said I believe that no one intends to steel anybodys music if satriani goes after cold play then these guys can go after him too. that form its in thousand of song it universal its even in toto older tunes aslong as the arangment is differnt & the feel is diffrent who give a shit these guys all share one thing in comon that they made ther version of the world old'st tune point. P.S I like all 3 version godbless

  • Theoretically speaking, If I could fly is not the same as Frances limone. Limone is much more linear in it's melodic lines while satriani may have a few notes the same, is much more melodic in his main melody

  • well los enanitos play on the lower side a lot more and it sounds more latin than joes but the similarity is disturbing. if i had to root for somebody itd definitely b los enanitos. bcuz they seriously rock.

  • just because 3 notes match doesn't mean it´s a ripoff, i gotta say that's just casualitiy, now COLDPLAY's song, that was a ripoff

  • @rawynsord

    It's not about the notes it's about the melody. You must be dead if you dont think it is sounding VERY similiar.

  • @rawynsord Totally right only 3 notes are the same in enanitos and satch, but coldplay stole more than 3 notes now thats a rip off thats why coldplay paid satch so he wont sue them

  • @rawynsord the 3 bands songs are equally common, plus theres creeky boards and cat steevens

    Gee.... 5 people from different types of music... maybe ...just maybe ITS A COMMON FUCKING RIFF PEOPLE get over it.

    Satch was the only one who was a dick enough to go to court over it.

  • Even IF he did take that part, I'm not saying he did, he made it sound a whole lot better than the song it's similar to. ^_^

  • @SatrianiFan12

    No... no he didn't.

  • wow, that actually sounded really nice. =)

  • .......octave harmonies.........sounds great!

  • They make a great duet. Though if you listen to the entirety of both songs there are significant differences. Still, with a finite number of notes in western music, copyright is going to have to make way for this kind of thing happening more often.

  • ta cabron mejor q no aya pedo y q entre satriani y los enanos le rompan el orto a los ingleses gay esos de colplay xD jojjojojojo aguanten los enanos y el surfista de plata

  • Son muy parecidas las 2. Loquísimo. Coldplay seguro copió. Chris, devolvé los millones.

  • this is a small part of the satriani song. The entire coldplay song is like this. besides, the chord progressions are still pretty different.

  • you know...i think this is a popular rythem (cant spell). i think natural soloing comes from where your fingers "just seem to fall" on the frets. great minds think alike. there.

  • Satch may have taken that little part but he added WAY more onto it. Not to mention that he probably asked them if he could use that one part in a song. Satriani isn't a shady person, he's the EXACT opposite in fact.

  • voy a sacar una cancion igual pero en cumbia y luego los demandare a los 3 XD

  • both at the same time sounds great ! :P

  • que cabr... el Satriani....

  • tremendo conchudo este satriani, la cancion de los enanitos verdes es 2 años más antigua q la del fucking satriani, y encima tiene la desfachatez de denunciar a Coldplay

  • aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh esta SIIIIIII es una COPIA DESCARAAAAADDAAAA...NI SIQUIERA SE TOMARON LA MOLESTIA DE TRANSPORTARLA UN TONITO, O AGREGARLE UNA 4TA O 6TA..QUE DESCARO!!!

  • The songs actually blend well together. They should consider selling that as a single.

  • fuck you sirm

  • hahahaha just cuz you are latino/hispanic doesnt make your statement more valid than others....

  • First of all, I'm hispanic, latino or whatever you guys like it. And I know both Joe Satriani and Enanitos Verdes(band from Argentina), and to be honest, I doubt JS would have copied this band. Shit happens in the music industry, and judging by Joe's ability and creativity, I doubt he copied it.

    Those are my two cents.

  • fuckin satch...how dare u to sue coldplay?

    you should have been sued first.

    did you think nobody would notice?

  • @mmmmalexander dude gayplay sucks.

  • @MonkeyPowers Coldplay is not gay, you just hate them because they dont play the guitar like the fucking satriani

  • They're all rip offs of Cat Stevens. Colplay/ Satriani. Los Enanitos Verdes. ALL of them.

  • Pinche Satriani hijo de puta, demanda a Coldplay cuando el debio ser demandado por pinche ratero

  • me cago en tu puta madre, ojala te encerrasen en un ataud a dos metros bajo tierra

  • sorry I mean joe salami

  • joe pastrami = FAIL

  • joe you fuckin mother = fine

  • @McSnookerman

    hahaha

  • SYNCHRONICITY!!!

  • pinche coldplay,los odio

  • They're pretty different. Only the melodies are similar. At least it's not the same chord progression and the melodies are slightly different.

  • al final lo que todos sabemos es que, pinche coldplay no tienen madre hahaha, y le plagiaron a todo mundo!!, (es que satriani es muy groso para plagiar a enanitos).

    lo de enanitos y satriani es coincidencia (LOL, apesta a sarcasmo aqui) por eso digo que todos demanden a Coldplay por cagones haha

  • es muy sencilla esa melodia,parece la cortina de una serie de los 70´s jaja

  • jaja solo un argentino podria pensar q satriani le copiaria algo a esos boludos xD

  • they sound great together lol

  • you poor souls,

    the fact that Satriani stated he's worked on the song since the 90's doesn't make it true.

    the fact that Satriani has no case was proved when he dismissed his lawsuit (while it was agreed that Coldplay didn't do any wrongdoing). so one must ask himself - if credit was all Satriani cared about (he sure as hell doesn't lack money) - why settle and drop the case? simply because he had no case.

    especially since he copied himself.

  • Finally, a voice of reason =) Great to hear some sense!

  • gotta face the truth, with all due respect (and I have plenty for mr. Satriani's guitar skills). but he totally dissed coldplay for nothing. probably P.R. btw that Frances Limon song is pretty awesome! :P

  • Que choros!! Jajaja. Enanos de mierda, hay que pisarlos a todos!!

  • entonces ... que los ENANITOS demanden a COLDPLAY!!!!!!!

  • CHORIZO

  • for mi both sounds like a santana´s stile of poppy riff.

    but there´s to look ferder back in time. maybe it´s a tradicional tune or something like that.

    i know that great bands took melodys from italians sonattas of 18 century ( like the beatles)

    or medieval songs,, folks songs.

    steeling music it´s part of the art.

  • green midgtes se la banca! jajaja
