Did Coldplay copy Joe Satriani?

[weirdstuff1]

This is a random video that is on digg.com

This is Coldplay's new great single Vida La Vida!
It may also be Satriani's If I Could Fly.

Fun video, the combo of the two sounds awesome.

Nah it just sounds similar. They were also accused of copying this band who tried to sue them:

But it was discovered that chris martin was not in the corwd of one of their concenerts and infact hes never heard the song.

Is it just me, or does Viva La Vida sound waaay better with Joe playing.

EDIT 2 SECONDS AFTER I POSTED: I realize I didn't insert a question mark, my bad.

Ehh, it doesnt matter, all melodies and harmonys have all been done at some point before anyways.

But yes, those are oddly suspicious, almost exactly the same. And yea, it sounds way better with joe on the guitar.
