As the Coldplay Vs. Satriani plagiarism debate rages on, the heat is also starting to rise between the musical artists. Grammy nominated Coldplay is starting to fight back the allegations with a public announcement on their website made yesterday:
"With the greatest possible respect to Joe Satriani, we have now unfortunately found it necessary to respond publicly to his allegations. If there are any similarities between our two pieces of music, they are entirely coincidental and just as surprising to us as it him. Joe Satriani is a great musician but he did not write or have any influence on the song Viva La Vida. We repectfully ask him to accept our assurances of this and wish him well with all future endeavors. Coldplay."
Even with the creepy similarities, I'm going to have to side with Coldplay on this. I don't think there's enough to make a case out of this. It's cool to listen to a mash-up of the song, like many youtube videos have shown us. What if this is all a set-up to have Joe Satriani and Coldplay play together at the Grammys?!?!
Greatest punk'd ever.

Totally ludicrous. They have no reason to steal his music. It's a coincidence. Music is limited; it was only a matter of time before this happened.
