It seems that guitar maestro Joe Satriani is sueing the exceedingly dull Coldplay for ripping off one of his songs. The story is being reported over on BBC Online.

Satriani alleges that Coldplay's Viva La Vida takes considerable portions from his own track If I Could Fly.

And here is the proof...

To me that's pretty conclusive. And hearing both at the same time at least makes that the most interesting Coldplay song ever.

It isn't one of Satch's best though, so here's something much better from him...

I expect if you're a Coldplay fan you'd have to have a lie down in a darkened room and listen to the new Dido record after that
