For anyone who has heard about this...

I submit that both Satriani copied the melody for the song note for note
from an earlier mid 80s new wave song. Can anyone help me remember what that
song is :-)

Interesting, I thought of that earlier today. Not that I've heard the
new wave song, but it crossed my mind as a "what if" scenario.

In any event, I can't believe that it would have been intentional on
Coldplay's part.

He, he, it's a clasical example in "stealing" something without knowing from
where. This riff have been used in hundreds of songs the last 50 years
without anyone saying a shit; and now it seems that Satrini needs some money
on his "selfmade" riff;o)

He, he, there's a lot of difference in naming Satrini or Satriani;o)

I think the 80's New Wave song Chuck may have been thinking
about may have been the Pet Shop Boys tune... but that mashup
link I posted proves that there are quite a few songs that
sound very similar.

It may be. Thanks Neil. Whenever I hear the new Coldplay cd it suprises me
just how many of the songs are instantly recognizable and leave me wondering
where I heard them before.

Well, Coldplay even admitted that their last hit (I can't
remember the name of it, sorry) evolved as a result of them
trying to cover Kate Bush's song "Cloudbusting" (or was
it "Running Up that Hill"??? Can't recall what they said),
and not being able to do it properly, so they just ended up
taking the closest version they could get and turning it into a
song of their own.

So, maybe they're notorious for this, and THAT's why their new
songs sound so familiar... maybe they're all songs you've
already heard, just re-worked.

;)

Even the lyrics make me doubletake, but I think that's cause there are a lot
of cliches. Take for example:

Those who are dead, are not dead, they are living in my head (- or something
close to that....). Where *haven't* I heard something like that before :-)
