It seems like Viva La Vida (what my daughter refers to as "Coldplay 7") was quite probably lifted from Joe Satriani 2004 instrumental "If I Could Fly." For those who may recall Joe, he had some big hits as while back with his Surfing the Alien album. He also was Steve Vai's teacher.
Reuters continues:
Satriani's copyright infringement suit, filed on Thursday in Los Angeles federal court, claims the Coldplay song "Viva La Vida" incorporates "substantial original portions" of his 2004 instrumental "If I Could Fly."Perhaps the most damning illustration of the debate comes from a YouTube video that compares them to devistating effect.
The 52-year-old guitar virtuoso is seeking a jury trial, damages and "any and all profits" attributable to the alleged copyright infringement.
As a huge fan of both, I suggest that Coldplay quickly pay up, and have Joe guest on a rerecording, because alone, they are chocolate and peanut butter... together (as head in the video) they are a PERFECT PEANUT BUTTER CUP.
Excuse me while I go buy a copy of Joe's album, cause it rocks.
