Ha ha ha. NO.

Chris wasn’t in the audience of your concert, I can feel a lie a mile away.

You’re just jealous because Coldplay is better than you.

Go pick on someone your own music level!

Seriously??
Coldplay didn’t steal this song. He wasn’t at the “gig” as he was in recording studio, recording the song in March 2007. He was supposedly seen in October 2007. So basically you stole it off them. If I were you I would stop moaning about the past and how they’re a better or more well known band. Coming from my point of view, the videos are nothing the same.

Coldplay have been in court more times than the queen. Stealing from “Where is my mind” by The Pixies really annoys me but they have done it twice since. It’s called cryptomnesia. You think you came up with something which you just remembered. Let’s not forget “He’s so fine” by The Shirelles which George Harrison “channelled” into “My sweet lord”. Note for note, which is why he had to settle.

They totally did not steal the song. if you listen to the song that was above, it really doesn’t sound the same. i really tried to listen closely and only one line sound remotly close. i just think that these guys are making the whole thing up. coldplay has been famous for about ten years, and i don’t think they need to steel a song. if you listen to chris martin’s style, it is still the same in viva la vida, like some one said, they are copying them. plus, can they prove chris martin was there?… No. I also read some where else that coldplay can prove chris martin wasn’t there, and that they recorded the song earilier that year. if anything this other group’s just jelous.

@mark:

saying that another coldplay song sounds like someone else’s doesn’t help your case that coldplay doesn’t rip off peoples songs.

It is the same melody over the same chords, but it doesn’t mean it was intentionally stolen. I think Creaky Boards stole the melody from Joe Satriani. The question is: Di coldplay steal from Creaky Boards or Satriani:

as has been stated, the real problem is that the coldplay song has a generic form and a generic melody, as does the creaky boards song. they are but two of thousands, so get over it.

the facts state martin wasnt at the show. the song was recorded before theirs.. creaky boards needs to understand that there is very little to see here…. also to the ears of a musician, these songs dont sound similar at all.
