Guitarist Joe Satriani sues Coldplay for plagiarism

Featured Replies

None of them really help their cause any by just barging over here and saying "FUCK COLDSHIT! THEY STOLE SATCH'S MUSIC! THEY SUCK!" They're just very close-minded. I highly doubt any of us has done that in any of their forums. It's just an unfortunate situation. My bro-in-law LOVES Satriani and he doesn't behave like that. Nor to him, me.

Exactly!

 

That's the issue here. We could talk about chord progressions until the cows come home, we have done and we've done it to death!

 

Whether or not the two songs are similar enough to warrant a case is beside the point, the case has been filed, it's happening.

 

The point is that Joe is behaving extremely childishly, he's being petty and immature.

 

Either sue the band quietly or stop pretending that you're some poor hard done by artist who just wants some credit and admit that this case is doing you the world of good financially and publicity wise!

 

I quite agree. I lost respect for the man after that first interview with him was released. The one where he plays up the victim role, and said it was "like a dagger went through my heart!" :dozey:

Your sniffing is flawless!!!! :D

 

And my wild guesses are that either there's no forum for them, they do and it's just as annoying as atease, or they all secretly love coldplay...... they all seem to end up here in one way or the other..... :rolleyes:

 

:lol:

 

Well I'm like always wondering that if they don't like Coldplay, why in the word they come to a forum... that obviously it's about Coldplay since the forum name is coldplaying!

 

And if JS doesn't have a forum... poor him :P

:sick:

 

Such a drama queen :dozey:

yeah, he's playing this up SO much for attention! if it really wasn't about that or the money, he could have handled this SO much better and still not lost any fans.

 

btw: I blame Harry Potter for stealing my wife and my XBOX 360. SHE'S OBSESSED! :)

That's really really childish... pretty Romeo & Juliet -ish.... is JS gonna be sued by whomever owns Shakespeare copyrights??:rolleyes:

I think Bono should sue him for copying wearing sunglasses everywhere!

Or maybe he'll want to sue Will for being shaving his head like him!:dozey:

:lol:

I'm sure he does. But I love how so many h8ers come into this forum will a full head of steam and an encyclopedia of witty obscenities, but they walk out with a polite smile, thanking us for the tea and biscotti. :smug:

I'm sure I'm about the millionth person to say this, but I just logged on for the day, and this really upsets me.

 

In my opinion, Joe Satriani is just acting mean-spiritedly and immaturely, and this whole thing reflects more poorly on him than it does on the Coldplay boys.

Well, I had QUITE a day on here to say the least! I'll see everyone tomorrow!

 

ciao!

Agreed

 

Coldplay guys are classy.... while he's a drama queen :dozey:

hahah very valid argument :D;)

this is just fucking ridiculous THAT BASTARD!!!:angry::veryangry2:. ive heard joe threaten a lawsuit and all. but i think its just a coincidence.:\ but he waits a week until the grammys to sue the band. :confused:thats just plainly selfish :angry:and self centered of him.:angry: its definately a coincidence.

Agreed. This whole thing is ridiculous and extremely immature.

I have seriously lost the few respect I had for this musician.

THis is stupid and childish, I think it's quite annoying, and I hope they don't do anything ridiculous again, because the fact of doing this, makes look satriani immature

^not to mention like an attention seeker :dozey:

Obviously it is, but my question is why? Do older rock stars get insecure when they're out of the spotlight, as only music aficionados familiar with their genre will quickly recall their contributions. That's not to say Joe isn't great, but so are 1000's of others who influence rock music today. I think they just want attention - some type of tribute to their creative efforts, or what they perceive as their contributions, however the process of ideas and sound combinations make their way around the globe. What gets me is how they always zero in on the top acts. You'll never hear of them suing some virtually unknown new band, eh?;) What ever happened to that older Dutch singer residing in Italy who wanted recognition for Clocks??:laugh3: (and believe me, there's absolutely no connection there whatsoever!) Well, this is the down side to fame and fortune - all the attacks, the papparazi, the negative gossipy press, and the travel schedule...

I'm still so pissed off about this Grammy thing. Fuck off, Satriani! It's so unbelievably childish and attention-seeking, and... ugh! *wanders off, muttering angrily*

1975 are u high 1980 and im 15 and have better taste in music than u and my knowledge of put downs are better than u nancy

 

Holy shit you're a fucking bad troll :lol:

 

Go back to your cave and learn to troll properly, thanks. THEN I might pay attention to you.

Sorry for my ignorance, but this whole server thing, how does it work?

Cos why doesn't Coldplay just take it and be like "Yer damn straight, we're gonna own you in court" - cos they will. I Just heard the song then...what a load of shit. The guy just wants a piece of their fame.

^^^Coldplay can't take the notice because they haven't been in the country since the lawsuit was filed. If he had filed the lawsuit earlier then they would have been served with the papers. But, since they haven't been here there is no way for this dickhead's lawyers to hand them the papers. Lawyers can only serve papers in their native country. I'm sure Coldplay would have taken the papers if that's dickhead's lawyers handed them to them since they are professional and mature men unlike Joe "The Dickhead" Satarini.

 

Sorry for the language but this is really ticking me off. It just proves more and more to me that this idiot has no class at all.

I'm pissed off.

 

Seriously.

 

The boys are gonna be in a shit mood at the Grammy's.

 

Can anyone elaborate on this "being served" thing.

 

ITs funny cause I watched the first like 20 minutes of Pineapple Express yesterday. And if it's anything like how Seth Rogen did it, they'll have a hard time avoiding "getting served"

That is so low :angry:

 

JS sucks!
