I am a die hard coldplay fan, so I DO NOT BELIEVE COLDPLAY PLAGIARIZED.

But the similarities are a little weird.
Of-course, when listening to both songs separately, they don't really sound similar at all...and in my opinion, Viva la Vida is amazing and the Creaky Boards song is not.

  • There're some coincidental similarities in the rhythm but the strange thing was that Creaky Boards and Joe Satriani came into the picture to sue Coldplay for plagiarism... In other words, did Creaky Boards's The songs I didn't write (2007) copied Joe Satriani's If I could fly (2002) work too? Who knows?

  • this is ridiculous because Coldplay is also being sued by Joe Satriani for plagiarism of the same song, therefore, you might as well say that the Creaky Boards copied Joe Satriani too. Or, you might just be able to concur that it is an easily thought of riff for a song that just so happened to be similar to one another. It happens all the time in the music industry! Practically every "one - hit - wonder" band could be pinned for copying each other with an infringement on the 1-3-5 pattern.

  • They don't sound that close.

    One is in major key and the other is in minor key.

  • HAHA Creaky Boards. You wish Coldplay would plagiarize you. They were plagiarizing Joe Satriani so funny enough you're now on the same boat. Coldplay have better taste than that.

  • who the hell are the Creaky Boards? lol

  • e continuam eles como sempre nos plagios constantes.

  • Coldplay rips off other bands all the time. They even admit it! In a Rolling Stone interview in 2005, Chris Martin described them as "incredibly good plagiarists."

    My knock against the band is that their music is derivative; they've never bothered to develop their own sound. (As Martin says, "I don't think you can say that we're original.") Their more recent work is indistinguishable from U2.

    I try to cut them some slack, however, because they're my girlfriend's favorite band. :)

  • not cool as cold play

  • thieving shits

  • Haha, good mix.

  • @GTB0 That really is ironic.

  • If you are listining to this on an iPhone you can just take put the left earplug and listen to "viva la vida". Good job dip.
