Gary Moore isn’t the only one in trouble with plagiarism. Joe Satriani is suing Coldplay for ripping off his tune “If I Could Fly.” I gotta say… I kind of think he has a point. You could probably lay his track right onto the Coldplay tune.

But judge it for yourself. Here’s a link to a clip of Joe Satriani’s If I Could Fly. And here’s a link to a clip of Coldplay’s Viva La Vida.

Update: Dec. 6, 2008

Someone at College News found or created this great video that overlays the two tunes. Pretty damning. But, I seriously doubt that Coldplay did this intentionally. They don’t need to rip off someone else’s tune to be incredible. They already are.
