I just invaded the Coldplay board.... Don't worry... I kept it nice. The first time I had heard that song, I commented to my GF that "wow, sounds like they ripped off Joe".....

Will be interesting to see what happens. Their fans are total assholes tho and are bashing Joe without knowing anything about him or listening to the U tube link where they mash the 2 songs together. Sounds awfully damn close to me.

Hope all is well with you all!

Peace out!

Hello everybody! I listened to Crystal Planet and Engines of Creation already and I'm getting ready to listen to Additional Creations.

What on Earth is going on here? The case of Joe Satriani versus Coldplay is becoming a hit here. I just heard about all this earlier today. I listened to "If I Could Fly" from ITLIS three times already and I have to say, it does sound like a little bit of Coldplay's "Viva La Vida":

The parts of the song is at the 49 second to 1 minute and 19 second mark and again at the 1 minute and 45 second mark to 2 minute and 10 second mark.

Do I think Joe has a strong case? I don't know, but it all depends on the courts. I just hope this lawsuit is put to an end ASAP and we all can move on with life.

Good luck Joe. What's important is that you are standing up for your rights and protecting your copyrights.

WHAT, no Grammy nominations for Joe. What's up with that? Coldplay has seven grammy nominations.

Do the Stu: I agree with you. I listened to If I Could Fly three times already and I am about ready to listen to it again. The song is kind of like FIABD, now that you mentioned it. Good luck to Joe. I hope things work out. How are things going with you and out West?

Igneousiceman: It is good thing you didn't invade that messageboard over there. Things will be getting way out-of-hand if I, you, or anybody did.

GoldenGirl2: How are you doing? I listened to Train of Angels and the enitre Crystal Planet album earlier today. Great album, don't you think? How are you and your husband doing? I hope things are going well.

js1200js1000: What's up? Hope you enjoy the Metallica concert. CANADA EHH!!!

Cheese101: Thank you for the sammish. Are you planning on making more? How is everyone?

SuperDaveMcCarthy: Enjoy your Crown Royal. Never had it, I am more of a wine drinker. I also like Patron. Some friends and I will go over to a bar and do a shot or two of it. It is cold here, but we are still in the double digits. I already wrapped up the Vox Satchurator and I can't wait to give it to my friend for Christmas. As for OJ Simpson, I am glad he is going to jail. He has caused enough problems already. DO ANY OF YOU ALSO AGREE WITH ME!!!

Michelle: My favorite chocolate is Dove Chocolate, and I also like DeBrand's. Their headquarters is here in Fort Wayne. Have you ever tried it? It is really, really good. I hope your husband is feeling better. I am battling a dry mouth, sore throat and cough right now, but I am doing better. How is your pop doing with his cancer treatments? Prayers to him, you, your hubby, and everyone. How cool, a children's hospital. We have one here in Indiana called Riley, which is down in Indianapolis. I have ran races and donated money to support the hospital.

Skippygirl: Glad to hear you are doing better. I might be doing a 5K Run on the 13th. Haven't decided yet (depends on work).

Blue_Moon: How are you doing my Irish friend? Hope your jamming and recording will be going well for you.

bluebuffalo: How are you doing? Good luck with school?

Satriella: How are you doing?

death cube k: Hey, how's it going? Been quite a while. Hope all is going well for ya.

"If I could Fly" is near the top of my list too..it's a very good positive attitude booster for me.

GlitzMan....of course I don't drink whiskey like wine. I prefer to sip now and again between beers. If I can just sip, it'll whoop my ass by the end of the night. And I'll dance when I'm drunk too...do the robot..and all that 60's surf dance stuff...make a complete ass of myself and love every minute of it.

Ohhh how we missed you Cube! lol!

To celebrate, let's all watch THIS.

Chad and Flea - that's the shit!

Very Good Joe, glad to hear your suing him

I don't know if he'll win a jury case, but Joe sure has a strong complaint. Pretty darn blatant swipe of his song. I'm glad he's standing up and saying something about it. It will be interesting to see what Coldplay puts out on their next album as they'll have to write original stuff (not that I'll ever hear it though as I had never heard the "Viva" song until this morning).

Joe might also have a case with Metallica (seeing them in 2 weeks btw) as "The Day That Never Comes" has hints of "Chords Of Life" however, on the flip-side "Starry Night" sure sounds like "People Get Ready"

Dear Joe;

Best of luck to you man on your suit. I don't know what really happened. But please know that we support you, and your songs have touched our lives.

I don't know if it's your label that is suing, or your personally. However, I wish you luck in all your endeavors.

ha! ya think?
