I'm surprised nobody used the headline "Thieva La Vida"!!:P

Yes. It's a copy.

 

Really lame that they copied other people music.

It's most shameful thing some band can do.

It's like being Ramirez (croatian band who got famous for copied all

other music and passed as their own) and that's no compliment.

 

This new album really sucks. I just don't like it and

it's not working for me.

Haha, I'm gonna stop trying to post news on this board, there's always someone faster than me

 

I merged your thread with this one :)

 

The new merge options scare me :uhoh:

Just like your negativity then.:rolleyes:

Secondly, having checked back in the Coldplay frontman's diary, it turns out he was in AIR Studios in London when the October 2007 gig took place, so they believe it was a case of mistaken identity..

 

ha i knew it. so obvious..

this band is propably full of jealousy that they are trying to get succesfull on the back of others...

Yes. It's a copy.

it ISN'T a copy... can't you read? VLV was written before the gig

Yes. It's a copy.

Is that why you have a picture of radiohead in your signature? Kinda seems like you want people to get into an argument with you here. There is a minor similarity at best for one part of the song. That is all...

Yes. Chris Martin has super vision in future. :rolleyes:

He could see concert and write a same song months before.

 

No,I'm not trying to make argument .

 

If I have Radiohead in my signature that means nothing.

Don't judge me because of that.

(maybe should I put in my signature 1,000 Chris Martin pictures as everybody else here?)

:cry:

 

What I do or don't put in my signature is not the issue.

 

I don't like people copy music.

So you do know everything?

 

So you can tell me how many times today Chris went to toilet?

:laugh3:

 

 

This is ridiculous!:laugh3:

ha, hilarious :rolleyes:

who said i know everything about chris?

i said i knew that this band made up their story, because there is no real proof that chris was on their concert.

 

now THAT'S ridiculous!

^If you ask me, this entire conversation is ridiculous!!:rolleyes:

conversations are always complicated if you ask me and yeah will lead negative and goes harsh on innocent fans!

You guys have got to be kidding. One line sounds similar. ONE fucking line. That guy needs to shave his moustache and try to get some more oxygen to his brain if he thinks his song is anything like VLV. And, personally, I'm tired of Radiohead fans posting their negativity (because it's only negativity, NEVER anything even a little positive) on this forum. I don't torture them on their forum, and I wish they'd show the same respect here.

"a spokesman for Coldplay has dismissed the claims, saying, "Viva La Vida was written and demoed in March 2007, which is more than six months before this band claim Chris went to see them!

"We totally refute their claims."

Martin has also denied attending the Creaky Boards gig - claiming he was in London at the time."

Couldn't have put it better myself.:cool:

Couldn't have put it better myself.:cool:

 

agree fuck off radiohead fans. why do you come on here to criticize?

Because their band's so dull they don't provoke any discussions??:rolleyes:

please. The melody isn't even identical. I'm sure if you did the research you could find dozens of songs that sound 'like that', it's a worse comparison than comparing yellow to that pavement song, not exactly a convincing rip-off. Has anyone ever heard of these guys anyway?

Lol and the melody is from "the songs I didn't write". More like "The melody I didn't write, but chris martin wrote but I copied it off of his so I could say they copied the melody they wrote."

I doubt either of them copied off of anybody.

It's stupid to bash Creaky Boards or Coldplay here. It's probably just an honest mistake. And even if it isn't, it's not like it matters, because we now know it was physically impossible for Chris to have copied unless he always goes around on Myspace looking for obscure bands to copy off of and writes fake journal entries and ages them somehow and takes pictures of himself places and dates them.

 

Bleh.

I WROTE LIVE TO TELL BY MADONNA!!!!!!

 

Seriously, when I was around 16, I came up with a chord progression on the piano that sound like the as yet unreleased Live To Tell, I was shocked when I heard the song for the first time because the similarities were uncanny. These things happen sometimes.WTFE?
