The latest news from Reuters is that Coldplay released a statement on their website which read:
"Joe Satriani is a great musician but he did not write or have any influence on the song 'Viva La Vida.' We respectfully ask him to accept our assurances of this and wish him well with all future endeavors."
WHAT A BUNCH OF UPPITY ASSHOLES!!!!!!!! Sue the crap out of them, Joe!

Do The Stu & mjs99:- I'm in agreement with Austin in that Coldplay' s song sounds more like Alizee's song than Joe's song does by a long shot.I tried playing the melody from If I Could Fly over Alizee's song and it just doesn't quite fit in. Anyone else out there who plays guitar should give it a shot,coz i'm only human after all and i could be wrong. On another note, my daughters boyfriend is forming a tribute cover band named COLDPLAYgeriser.It's already copyrighted so Coldplay can't steal it! C'MON AUSSIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow man... this Coldplay business is a strange coincidence....
I dated this evil messed up girl, who LOVED coldplay, and I LOVE Satch.... so when I heard this, I couldn't help but laugh with extreme gut bustage...
Bitterness aside...
We all rip stuff off, but a BLATANT use of a unique and complex melody just ain't right. I mean the dude sings it just how Joe plays it come on!
I totally agree with Joe on his comments, I've written some very very personal songs, that I poured a lot of work into... if someone came along and did this to me, I'd be so #$@!in' pissed off... Get em' Joe!
BTW The last show at the Warfield was amazing!!! See you at NAMM!

McKenna--My bad. U2 NOT your cup o tea--I get it. Yesh, you are right about Van Morrison being from N Eire. He is a legend in my mind--goes way back to the "Gloria" days. To my ear he sounded a bit like Mick Jager. I sure have unique eardrums! What is your opinion of DEF LEPPARD? Go ahead and rip me if you don't like them.
Tracie--How ya be? How was it for you growing up female? It was kinda strange at times for me. Some people encouraged me to express my masculine side; others wanted me to be super girlie, girlie. God help the guys who explored their feminine side---OH NO--THAT WAS FORBIDDEN! THEY WOULD BE CALLED PUSSIES, WUSSES, OR WORSE!! I got worried when my older sister went through puberty--it was traumatic for her. She was sooo embarrassed when a guy in Junior High School had a crush on her!! Then I went through puberty and it was time to run, hide and isolate!! Yikes!! My parents were in deniel about their "baby girl". It's a wonder I'm still alive!!
Michelle--How was growing up female for you?

Sure hope asthma is not an ongoing issue for the little guy, I understand Barc can have it's share of wikkid smog days coz of the hills around the place making a bowl. Good luck on that.

Bob and Tom radio show again this morning devoted quite a bit of time to Joe's case, brought in some musical expert to analyze things....110% in Joe's corner on this and said his case was solid.
I missed it but a co-worker (WHO could work with me that DOESN'T know about Joe by now, LOL) told me about it, will try to catch the tv broadcast tonight to see if it's on there....

Joe Satriani good onya for standing up for your music >=:o) you're all heart, that's why we love your guitar playing so much.
'If I Could Fly' is worth fighting for, probably the best song on ITLIS along with 'Searching'. honestly i don't think there's any song by you that isn't worth fighting for....oh wait 'Woodstock Jam' ;) maybe not that one.
Love You Joe!

Big Bunny oh my gosh, lol, Woodstock Jam. If I had to pick ONE Satch song I didn't like that is the one. It's ok I guess. I don't know. I never listen to it.
