Overview
Is Coldplay's 'Viva La Vida' a rip-off of the 2004 Joe Satriani track 'If I Could Fly'? Joe thinks so, and he is suing Coldplay.
When you play the two pieces back to back, yeah there are similarities.
Go 50 seconds in to the Satriani piece and the melody certainly has similarities to the Coldplay song.
Is it a direct rip-off? Well, that will be up to the lawyers to work out.
What is interesting is that this is Joe Satriani taking action, not some unknown who claims that Chris Martin once came to one of his gigs.
Coldplay also came under fire from New York band Creaky Boards who claimed Martin ripped off one of their songs after coming to one of there gigs. Martin claimed he wasn't even in the US at the time he was alleged to have been at the gig.
