Coldplay Viva La Vida and Violet hill

Coldplay was on the news recently for being sued by guitarist Joe Satriani, who claims the band's song Viva La Vida uses one of his riffs.

Coldplay the band who played Violet hill came out with a new single Viva La Vida for their new album Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends. Apparently the song was so similar you could play the Coldplays-singer Chris Martin's Viva La Vida verse with Joe's IF I COULD FLY version.

I did some research and here's what I found. Its true!! You could play the tune according to Joe Satriani's IF I COULD FLY version. And Joe Satriani is really good. Coldplay is great too but tough luck guys this year. Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends released in June and went to number one in 36 countries and was also one of their hit singles.
