Coldplay - who received seven Grammy nominations - won Best Pop Performance by a Duo Or Group and the coveted Song Of The Year for their best-selling track Viva La Vida.


But did you know that the guitarist Joe Satriani AKA SATCH is suing them for Plagiarism?.

I suppose what will happen is, if Satrianni wins the case, he will get a cut of all the profits made from the song.


Similar to what happened with The Verve/Rolling Stones and Fun Lovn? Criminals/Quentin Tarantino.


Didn?t some band called Queens or summat also get sued for ripping off Vanilla Ice?

Yes indeed keeth, but because they won the award over the weekend I thought post about it. I am not a Coldsnooz fan and There is no room for Joe in my music collection either. I personally think that the musicianship in todays mainstream music isnt what it once was. IMHO.......

At which point Chris Martin said without The Verve there would have been no coldplay, which is just another strike against the verve as far as I'm concerned!

So you don't agree to disagree? Therefore you agree?

I don't know if this is true or not - but I heard that Dave Gilmour doesn't listen to other artists' music when he's writing because he's scared he might inadvertently be influenced and rip them off. No idea if it's true but I think it's very gentlemanly of him if it is true.

Let's try to be constructive guys. You never know, Chris Martin might find himself on the EDF and if that's the case then he's entitled to something a bit more constructive than "I hate Christ Martin"! Here goes....


he's really really whiney


There. Done my bit.

Okay, fair point. He's arrogant enough to compare himself to some of the greatest artists ever, and has never backed it up. If tells me it would be really sad if I didn't hear his new album because it's just that good, so now I have to live my life in the knowledge there may just be something missing!

    • Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)
    • If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.
    • You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.
