This is really annoying me. If 'Viva La Vida' didn't get Grammy acknowledgment, Satriani wouldn't give a damn. The timing of his lawsuit is rather inappropriate. Now they're really going overboard with this by threatening to follow them around at the Grammy's to try to serve them? Have some friggin' respect!!

 

And I read Will's interview. What is the poor guy supposed to say to this?? Along the lines of "Yeah it sucks" is about all he can really say.

Joe Satriani= full of shit

I would like to kick this man off a very high cliff :shy:

 

 

 

 

Am I evil now? :D:evilgrin:

its their night at the grammy's they work really hard

Joe lawyers have some really nerve

Sleep mistified...

But i mean, everyone could see that it was suspicious from the start. I mean, anoucing it the day they got the grammy nominations and now this. Like what is this guy, 5? Like i think he is trying to claim credit at the grammys or something when coldplay most definitely will win. I all know is tha no one is going to buy his music after this is over

@ Thalia

No, i say that's just common sense ;)

 

 

He needs a hobby other than trying to screw coldplay over :inquisitive:

 

Bingo, maybe??? :rolleyes:

All his antics... getting overboard and over the top.

 

 

He's only making himself look childish, greedy and just plain silly.

you know, if this TRULY wasn't about the money and if SaDtriani is such a cool, good guy then for him to look better in everyone's eyes he should just say "for the next pressing of Viva La Vida, just put me as an influence" But nooooooooooo...!

Joe Satriani May Give The Grammy Red Carpet A Little Something Extra This Sunday

 

infringey.jpg

 

Joe Satriani's copyright-infringement lawsuit against Coldplay—who, the guitarist claims, ripped off his song "If I Could Fly" on the Grammy-nominated title track from their Grammy-nominated album Viva La Vida—is still supposed to proceed, but there's been one problem: The process servers who are supposed to serve Coldplay with the j'accuse outlining the terms of the lawsuit haven't been able to catch up with Chris Martin and his merry men just yet. So what's a lawyer to do? How about unleashing those process servers on a splashy red-carpet event that his client's target is sure to be at, thanks to said target maybe picking up a boatload of awards that evening?

 

But that hasn’t stopped Satriani or his attorney Howard King of King Paterno et al. The firm claims that Coldplay has dodged being served, and that the Grammys are the easiest forum at which to strike while the iron is hot.

 

King says, "We have warned their 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 promises to have camera crews roaming around with the process servers to get the whole thing on tape.

 

Now, given that the news comes from Fox 411's notoriously factually challenged Roger Friedman—who, true to form, refers to the Satriani song as "I Just Wanna Fly" in this particular news item—King could have been saying that he was going to process his client's credit card, or that he was just about to return a serve at a tennis lesson and could he maybe call Friedman back later. But wouldn't the whole idea of a process server crashing the Grammys' red carpet be kind of hilarious in the RIAA's post-litigation era? At the very least, it would scare the collagen out of Lisa Rinna.

 

For those of you who need a refresher course in the dispute, here is the accusatory video:

he's going through a midlife crisis.

and yeah, he needs a hobby. the music aspect of his life clearly isn't satisfying him.

he deserves absolutely nothing in this. guilt maybe.

we should find him & form a mob & scare him into admitting that when he's alone, he cranks up the coldplay & dances around. pfft. and he thinks we dont know..
