February 5, 200917 yr Gee, somebody dial whine-one-one and call the Whaaaa-mbulance. Chill, guys. I wonder if these guys hunting the boys will even be let in the Grammys. I don't think so... Says King, "We have warned [Coldplay's] British lawyers that we have hired a fleet of process servers lined up to dog the band everywhere they go this weekend in the hopes of serving them." King even discloses that camera crews may be accompanying the process servers to document the proceedings. you really haven't read that anywhere yet?!
February 5, 200917 yr what do you think they will perform??A good possibility is Life In Techniolor ii or Viva La Vida.I would like to see Lovers In Japan just for the confetti.But im not sure what they are gonna do.I say do Viva La Vida to throw it in Joe Satriani's face and win Record and Song of the year haha.
February 5, 200917 yr i think Viva is there best bet, cus not enough ppl kno LiTii yet, i kno we all love it, but maybe they would play it
February 5, 200917 yr i think Viva is there best bet, cus not enough ppl kno LiTii yet, i kno we all love it, but maybe they would play it Well in 2003 they did Politik and that wasnt even a single so i think that anything is game.....
February 5, 200917 yr they should do VLV with the ochester (no idea if i spelled that right!haha) That's totally my dream, like ever since the song came out. No lie, haha. Maybe I'm one of the few that does want to see VLV, but I really think if it was accompanied with an orchestra, it would be epic.
February 5, 200917 yr you really haven't read that anywhere yet?! What the fuck? Of course I had read it. What the hell are you talking about?! I was pondering whether these lawyers would be let in the Grammys seeing as they're trying to get in there due to reports, what SINGLE part of that sentence somehow does NOT make sense? :inquisitive: Sheesh.
February 5, 200917 yr It would be weird for me if they play Viva considering all the buzz in the US around Stratiani law suit...Plus AssholeJoe is planning with his lawyer of making a scene at the ceremony... For me, playing Viva would just make it worse...But on the other hand, it could be a giant f*ck off to AssholeJoe! (which could be cool too)
February 5, 200917 yr Stupid question.... What time are the grammy's on? There are so many time zones in America, I have no clue how to find what time it will be in Belgium when it's aired. :confused: Oh, and can anyone please shoot that "please-pay-me-some-attention-guitarist"??
February 5, 200917 yr Joe Satriani's Lawyer 'Informed Coldplay's Legal Council of Grammy Plans' As we reported yesterday, HuffingtonPost.com and Fox News are both reporting that Coldplay might get served with legal papers in a law suite by Joe Satriani at this weekend's Grammy Awards. Today it is being reported that Coldplay's legal team were informed of those plans ahead of the awards ceremony this weekend. Last year Satriani claimed that Coldplay's Grammy nominated hit "Viva La Vida" ripped off his song "If I Could Fly" (see the video after the break). Howard King, Satriani's Lawyer, has hired an army of process servers to make sure that the band gets served at the Grammys, he has made sure to hire enough camera men to get the whole thing on video, and he even had the decency to inform Coldplay's legal council of the plans. Now this potential public humiliation might seem a bit like over kill but King had previously reported that they had tried to solve the matter privately. "We attempted to have a dialogue on this before we went public," King said. "We felt almost forced to file suit. As far as the 'coincidence,' ultimately that's for a jury to decide," he added. Satriani, 52, wants a federal judge to order an accounting so he can determine how much money he may be owed, or else stop using the song. In response to Coldplay's statement, Satriani's lawyer, Howard E. King, said Coldplay's public reaction was dramatically different from how the guitarist's claims were treated before the lawsuit was filed. King said it's common for musicians to be influenced by other works and incorporate it into their own, sometimes a little too closely. But he said that the reaction is usually different when the similarities are pointed out. "It doesn't mean you don't owe something to the original composer," he said. Coldplay is one of the world's top-selling pop acts, and their latest CD, "Viva La Vida," has sold nearly 2 million copies in the United States alone. It was nominated last week for seven Grammys, including album of the year and record of the year for the title track. Coldplay had recently fired back against the accusations regarding Viva La Vida. In a statement released on Coldplay.com, the band responded to a copyright infringement lawsuit filed by guitarist Joe Satriani last week in federal court in Los Angeles. That lawsuit says the Grammy-nominated song contains "substantial, original portions" of his 2004 song, "If I Could Fly." "With the greatest possible respect to Joe Satriani, we have now unfortunately found it necessary to respond publicly to his allegations," read the statement. "If there are any similarities between our two pieces of music, they are entirely coincidental, and just as surprising to us as to him. Joe Satriani is a great musician, but he did not write the song 'Viva La Vida.' We respectfully ask him to accept our assurances of this and wish him well with all future endeavours." http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/uponsun/2009/02/your_reason_to_watch_the_gramm.php
