Will Coldplay be served at the Grammys?
Chris Martin and his band Coldplay could get served at the Grammys.
Literally.
But with legal papers. Not snackies and beverages.
USA Today reports that the rock group will be targeted at Sunday's Grammys by process servers, according to Roger Friedman's Fox 411.
Apparently, guitarist Joe Satriani filed a suit in December 2008 asserting that Coldplay's big hit "Viva La Vida" sounds eerily like his 2004 instrumental "I Just Wanna Fly."
Satriani's lawyer plans to litter the Grammy Awards with process servers to give the band members a plagiarism lawsuit.
Hey, do they have to serve all of them, or just one, one wonders ...
Word is the band has dodged the papers in England.
Just for your edification, I've supplied snippets of both songs. What do you think?
Too similar to be just a coincidence? Or not?
What about Alizee's song? She should sue them both! Hahaha
Sure does sound similar. Same melody in a different key. Must be hard not to find a new tune.
Wow, sounds like the same song to me.
Yes! They definitely swiped those bars from Joe's song
sounds much the same....but do not think it was at all intentional.
are you kidding? >>>> Coldplay has well established themselves as the grammy ward winning artists that they are.
the songs sound nothing alike. the members of coldplay are doing the right thing by ignoring said lawsuit. satrianni must be desperate for some much needed press. can anyone even name the song he claims has been copied???
Complete rip-off.
Satriani doesn't need any press or money - it's matter of principle.
Coldplay needs to get smacked, served and come clean like Alex Rodriguez admitting to steroids.
End of story.
