Guitar Master "Joe Satriani" sues Coldplay...

LOOK OUT Lame ass band Coldplay you are gettin' Court papers filed in Los Angeles on Thursday... "Guitar God" Joe Satriani said the Coldplay song, "Viva La Vida," used, "substantial original portions," of his 2004 instrumental... "If I Could Fly."

Satriani, 52, wants a jury trial and is seeking damages and, "any and all profits," for the alleged plagiarism. Coldplay are shortlisted for seven Grammys, including song of the year. If this is true - and they did rip-off one of the world's GUITAR KINGS - they should be tarred and feathered as well! How dare they rip-off the mighty Satch!!!

Viva La Vida is credited to the band's four members - singer Chris Martin, bass player Guy Berryman, guitarist Johnny Buckland and drummer Will Champion. The song's title was evidently inspired by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. It appeared on the album Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends - which was released in June and went to number one in 36 countries - and was also one of their hit singles.

Satriani's track appears on his album, "Is There Love in Space?"

Stay Tuned for more updates...
