Did Coldplay copy Joe Satriani?

[mus]

Hey all,

I don't know if this thread has been started before. I did looked at past threads before posting this. I came across this yesterday and I thought I share it.

A song from Coldplay, Viva La Vida, sounds the same to Joe Satriani's, If I Could Fly.

Did Coldplay copy Joe Satriani?

Share your thoughts and views.

They all have their copyrights done before releasing their album/songs.So,I guess it's not an issue whether they copy each other works or not.If u notice,most of the songs from as far as in the 60s,they sounded kinda the same.It's just that the chord progressions and arrangement do the little twist.Unless,it's 70 per cent in similarity,then I can say it's copy cat.hehehehe

Being a fan of both bands, nothing beats this...

It's a better comparison for Cavett's point.

Heavy stuff Cavett. It's hard to tell the difference actually.

queen & david bowie - under pressure
vanilla ice - ice ice baby

Vanilla Ice drew controversy by claiming that he owed no royalties for using a bass line similar to "Under Pressure", citing one minor alteration. Although no lawsuit was ever filed, the rapper supposedly settled out of court, and songwriting credit was retroactively given to the members of Queen and David Bowie

just listen to chinese pop music. they rip off english songs wholesale for a living

Are you serious bro? :shock:

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

not a really fair comparison, that depends on what sorta chinese music.

theres more copy, from the japanese side of music then western music. In fact can be extend to the canto pop side and at times, hokkien songs, which are still rather popular in taiwan.

theres a whole lot more within the chinese/canto/hokkien music side, which are in a world of its own, away from the influence of western music..

I heard a chinese singer ripped off the chord progression of Melee's built to last?

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

if it the same chinese singer iam thinking about, no, he didnt ripped off that song. Most prolly royalty was paid for the usage of it and done in mandarin

he is the winner of ch U singing competition and that song was on his debut album

 

[GrimRiffer]

hahaha. what's royalties man? Is it like you pay someone and you get to modifhy the lyrics?

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

songs are products, they belong to either the artist or the recording company.

we can pay them, buy over the rights to re release the songs, done in our own language. As long as they willing to sell, it can be done.

theres songs which are orignally from malaysia and indonesia, but taiwanese bought over the rights and release it as mandarin songs. what i can remember now is the malaysia rocker, Ella and from indonesia, sheila on 7. Theres chinese version of their songs which were released back in the 90s..

 

[shinobi]

alamak really need to pinpoint meh. please lah, there are so many ripped off from english bubblegum pop. sometimes it is quite hilarious

nothing can be done unless the artist that gets ripped off files a suit against the respective artist or record company. and even then, for it to be successful the original artist needs to prove equitable interest. which there is probably none. and they probably won't give a damn

i'm not a lawyer though. please hire one to confirm

The mix of both is awesome

The mix of both is awesome

The mix of what is awesome?. The mix of coldplay and satch song?

 

[growlingsoulpup]

I'm not so keen on Coldplay. They have some nice songs, but they're such ripoffs of U2 and Radiohead. Chris Martin that character is reason enough to dislike them; he's so bland and such a Bono/Thom Yorke wannabe. I wouldn't be surprised if they ripped off artists wholesale for a living.

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

woah, how are are you this year?

When I heard DT's Never Enough for the 1st time on shuffle mode, I thought muse was playing... "since when did muse tracks were so technically polished?" I asked myself... I checked and oh.. DT?! Is Jordan Rudess mimicking muse? Haha

The reason for that is because Mike Portnoy is a huge fan of the band and it was one of their "inspirations" during their song writing process. DT is widely known to borrow off tricks and riffs from the bands that they like and fuse it to their own music. Much like the bass intro of Home was lifted of a Tool song.
