    Sounds really close to me, I hate Coldplay, and seeing Satch play live is like being acid trip. The guy is mind boggling good. Did i mention Coldplay blows.

    I can't believe it. It's not that I can't believe that Coldplay would plagiarize someone else's stuff, but that they could play anything by Satriani. It's not my style of playing, but damn he's unreal.

    who knows if they have ever even actually heard his song.in the future, every melody and chord progression will have been done already, hell someone might as well just make a keyboard album of 1,000,000 little chord progressions and melodies so that they can sue everyone.

    Agreed. Led Zeppelin should sue The White Stripes for stealing all their riffs. Tom Petty should sue the Strokes for taking all his cords.

    Yeah I agree there is a lot of SIMILAR stuff out there but usually its only for a few notes here or a few notes there....but this goes over the line IMO. WAY too similar. Like drexler said..a lot of stuff has been done, its hard do come up with something 100% original
