IT WAS A COINKIDINK SURFER MAN




Just posted on Coldplay's website, in response to the Satriani thing:

A statement from the band

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 to him. Joe Satriani is a great musician, but he did not write or have any influence on the song Viva La Vida. We respectfully ask him to accept our assurances of this and wish him well with all future endeavours. Coldplay.
I somehow don't think Joe is going to be overly impressed by this.
