The Love Thread

I'm too lazy to check the Satriani song but it's prolly just semi ripping as usual. At least Coldplay wrote a song instead of wanking a guitar to pieces.
Just watch the clip. Surely it sounds similar, the notes of the melody are similar, maybe even the same, but the whole colour and feel of the song is totally different. There are MUCH more obvious cases of plagiarism.

Well, notes are still notes. If anyone wants to try that with early Heavy/Thrash/Death Metal in comparison to newer "extreme" genres you've got 500 lawsuits in 8 songs.
 
Okay, it's pretty damn similar. He should be happy. His melody turned into a song instead of can of wank. Still, a band like Children of Bodom doesn't have a single song without these similarites to other stuff pretty much.
