Coldplay: ripoff artists?
Edited on Sat Dec-06-08 09:17 PM by AspieGrrl
Yeah, Viva la Vida sounds like "If I Could Fly" by Joe Satriani. And a song by someone named Alizee.

I have no idea whether it was intentional or just a coincidence, personally. I'm leaning towards coincidence, although Coldplay are getting sued by Satriani.

Listen to this. Creepy/awesome. Sounds better than any of the songs on their own.

2. Never heard it combined with Alizee's song too... hmm...
I think it sounds better mashed up than any of the three originals. :P

3. I am probably the only person here who likes Coldplay.
Or the only one willing to admit it.

4. I don't dislike them or think they're bad or anything,
I just find them to be fairly unremarkable for the most part. :shrug:
