wtf?

What do you think is rude?

 

Um, you're screen name and image. You don't get that? You lost 99% of the audience that could have listened to you right away.

Reposts! :angry:

 

 

GTFOplxkthx, "Viva La Fraude" banners in your sig don't help your cause for an "exchange of free ideas". Now.

click on your username and then statistics and then "find all posts by..."

 

there's no need to post the same things many times :wink:

 

 

and I agree.. if you want to discuss, your signature doesn't really help

 

Thank you for your help. If you read my post, I fully acknowledged that the graphic was kind of a cheap shot. It's just funny. I'd like to think that I can laugh at myself when it's a good joke. Hopefully others can too, even if it's directed at your favorite band.

Cobalt, where do you GET all of those images? :laugh3:

Maybe we don't all share your sense of humor, then.

...places. :uhoh:

:stunned: That sounds suspicious... Are you- *gasp*- plagiarizing?!?!?!

You say that your intent is not to trash Coldplay but your poster name, signature, and links to things labeled as fraud shows just the opposite. You think that its funny but it's not. Just like if a Coldplay fan would do something like that, folks would say that is not funny. It's an attack. Plain and simple.

 

Personally, I am tired of all Joe's fans saying that they have facts to prove it and they are experts because they play an instrument or have a f**king degree. I am sure Coldplay has facts too and they have degrees too, well all but one. I would rather listen to the lawyers and their experts, which they will call on, to determine the truth instead of the fans of anyone who "claim" they have facts because in reality they don't know the facts.

EXACTLY!

OMG dude..

Do you think people's going to take the time to read your endless "observation"?

If Coldplay did copy that mediocre song, they did something beautiful with it.

Suck it up.

 

What's a people's going. Do people own going. Why the apostrophe?

 

If you actually read my post, you would realize that I never definitively claimed that Coldplay copied the Satriani tune, not did I suggest that their song wasn't good.

:uhoh:

 

No sir, I did not recreate those images. They are free to use. I SWEAR. :stunned:

Exactly. What else he doesn't seem to realize is that many people on this forum are musicians as well...

okay see that's rude... you obviously know what the person meant.. so why not just read their statement for their point of view, instead of criticizing their every word for grammar mistakes??? :confused:

Don't criticize typos. They happen to all of us. Do you not understand the difference between "not" and "nor". It's not too cool when people do that, right?

bad post...you meant what you said...it's just not cool

OR did you mean "nor"...i have a headache

^Look at the bold. Your first sentence is not worded well at all. You could at least use quotation marks. Your first two sentences should have question marks. In your second paragraph, you said "not did I suggest."

 

It seems that you can make mistakes as well. ;)

:uhoh:

I'm gonna sue you! :evil:

Excuse me, Cobalt, but I have a degree in tongue-in-cheek caption pictures, and I can say definitively that you are a PLAGIARIST. Believe me. I use photoshop.

 

Viva la FRAUDE!

Come on Coldplay-----Coldplagiarism. It just fits. "Cold-sounds-similar-but-who-knows" just isn't funny. It's a play on words. Don't get so upset. It's just funny considering the situation they are in.

Well the reason why you see it that way is because Satriani's fan base is made up almost exclusively of musicians and quite frankly, musicians understand music. If you submitted a research paper to your college class and it contained whole sections that were 99% similar to another written work, it would be obvious, because you speak English and can read. The average person is not conversant in the language of music so they can't easily make those definitive judgments. If the similarities in question were some other pop act that did not have a large fan base of musicians, then we are dealing with equal opinions of the layperson. A lawyer is not suited to make such a determination unless they are conversant in the musical language.

 

Look, I totally get it. Coldplay is your band and it means a lot to you. That's really cool. That's what music is supposed to do, no matter what your level of sophistication, understanding or interest in music. The issue I raise here is that there is no dispute with regards to the similarity from a strict unemotional musical analysis perspective, but I never suggested how that happened or that Coldplay were intentionally dishonest. The only problem I have with Coldplay at this point is how they've handled the situation that they find themselves in.
