Why do people find these so amusing? I just don't get it. It's inflicting yourself to a shitty rendition of a song. I don't care whether you like a song or not, why would you want to make it sound like absolute shit?

I suppose, I couldn't last more than a few seconds, bleh.

If I want my ears to bleed, I'll jab knife-based q-tips in them.

mmm, Corporate rock. more cow bells!

oddly (or maybe not so), when US professional athletes, particular NFL guys, are asked what music they like, they'll often say Coldplay.

Thanks for the promote, Deano!

It's always a pleasure to promote quality rock & roll.

weird...

Lets look at what Satriani claims that Coldplay has plagiarized.

The chords: The chords are mostly the same, but the last chord is different. The chord progression is also a very logical and common one and I think you can find many songs with similar chords.

The melody: The melody follows the well established musical principle of guide tones which is a logical melody to apply to the chords. The only similaritys are in the first short phrase, the rest can be atributed to guide tones. Furthermore, Satrianis phrasing is very different and ends up sounding very different. The first song that came to my mind when I heard Viva La Vida was this song which is much better match than Satriani's:



As for Chuck Berry vs. Beach Boys, the whole song was almost exactly the same in terms of melody and chords. Satriani's claim is based on only one phrase of a melody and some random chords...

Great flick, and it isn't as heavy or syrupy as the trailer suggests. Thankfully, there is no Coldplay in the actual film.


The song you are probably referring to is not Coldplay's, it's Sigur Rós's Hoppiholla.
