November 30, 200718 yr I heard James Blunts new song "Same Mistake" on the radio the other day and i was shocked at how similar it was to the scientist. It sounds like hes using the same oooo's at the end of the scientist that chris uses through out his whole song. I dont know kind of interesting to me.I think the scientist is a well known song even if u dont know or like coldplay.I think the oooo's at the end is what a lot of people remember if they really arent into coldplay. So i dont know kind of interesting.What do you guys think? http://youtube.com/watch?v=b3c32wBYdU0
November 30, 200718 yr As soon as I heard it I thought I was listening to In A Little While by U2. http://youtube.com/watch?v=wtVAJEAWnlU They are the same during the falsetto part.
November 30, 200718 yr I agree with both of you. Then there's that Sum 41 song I can't remember the name of it offhand, but you can sing The Scientist exactly to it. I think someone even did a mash-up.

December 1, 200718 yr it's actually from U2 not from coldplay as briggins says, he started with that oooh since he covered in a little while by U2 so I think Bono should sue him hahah no, just kidding I like james blunt, I don't think that's such big deal since he's covered the song legally but I don't know
December 1, 200718 yr Hmmm, James Blunt is a cunt, but if Chris Martin were to sue him, he should be sued by Thom Yorke for stealing High and Dry.:laugh4:
December 1, 200718 yr i already saw the video. i dont like it. it seems like the same as the scientist video. and about ~ooooooh voice, its quite same as chris sang in their song too.
December 1, 200718 yr your not the only one... me neither people.. just a few "oooh oh" doesn't mean that he's ripping off The Scientist. if it is like that.... somebody remember that thing that someone made once.. there was a wolf and it seems that the wolf sounded like Chris.. with "oohh oh" form the scientist..? Well, Then we should sued that wolf too.. :laugh4:
December 2, 200718 yr Are you guys who think this sounds like the scientist talking about the guitar rhythm or what?
December 3, 200718 yr I almost threw my tv out teh window when I saw them playing that song live. Better Off On My Own was the name of it I think. Complete ripoff. no. it's called Pieces.
December 4, 200718 yr I had a random thought, does anyone think the new Powderfinger single sounds awfully scientisty? I mean the piano bits pretty much identical. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tHQS8VYcM8
December 4, 200718 yr Hmmm, James Blunt is a cunt, but if Chris Martin were to sue him, he should be sued by Thom Yorke for stealing High and Dry.:laugh4: How did Chis steal radioheads high and dry????:dozey:
December 4, 200718 yr ^ yes, good question. i think that "high and dry" is the most coldplay-ish radiohead song, but i dont think coldplay does a rip-off of it anywhere. or of anything else radiohead has done. besides one or two little things, the comparisons between radiohead and coldplay baffle me.
December 7, 200718 yr I do admit that Coldplay obviously gets its influence from Radiohead but im just not sure how you are associating "High And Dry?" with Coldplay. I dont think i have heard a Coldplay song that sounds similar to it.

December 7, 200718 yr You're right. The "Oooo" parts are obviously ripped, or at least inspired by it. And damn, the guy has an annoying voice. But Coldplay has been just as bad in that respect. The tune of "Talk" is just as ripped from "Computer Love" of Kraftwerk.

The tune of "Talk" is just as ripped from "Computer Love" of Kraftwerk. i dont think you can use the term "ripped" for that. they got explicit permission, credited their source, and turned it into something quite different from the original despite using the guitar riff. they get big points in my book for doing it the way that they did ;). even if i do think that the demo-ed lyrics were better.

Chrias said it once in an interview.. he "wrote" a letter that said "Hi my name is Chris Martin i have a band called Coldplay.." :laugh4: and he told him that they wanted their ...song.. well not the whole song just the music i don't know I'm tired i don't want to think :P
