A couple of days ago, there was a buzz going on around the net,
about the band Coldplay plagiarized one of Joe Satriani’s songs.

Here’s a link about it. —CNET

Now listen to me,
I know this is true because I used to be a Rock Star in my mind.
And I kicked ass on Guitar Hero Level 1.

One thing about the music industry,
and everybody knows this,

is that “all artists always steal an idea or riff from some other artist.”

That is called, “influence.”

You know how every musician says,
“I was influenced by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who….”

“I listened to a lot of “Jazz, Blues, Reggae, Rock and Roll…”

“I lived through the music of the 70’s, the 80’s the 90’s and to the millennium.”

You see my point?

Every song created and recorded will always have a hint of the artist’s influence.

Now I have heard the two songs in question somewhere on Youtube,
which, apparently has been taken down, as of this writing,
so I can not show it to you.
But it did sound very similar.

Now I am not here to pass judgment
nor ridicule a very talented group of musicians.

But “sounding like” someones music is way different
than “copying” someones music.

Did that make sense?

All I am saying is,
I hope no one notices all the covers I do here,
because I do not want anyone going after my ass.

You know,
come to think of it,
That Popular Vanilla Ice song sounded pretty much like that one
Queen song.

That Madonna song about a certain Pie from America, did sound a little familiar.

That song by Puff Daddy, did sound like that one song by The Police.

That song by Ty, did sound like a whole bunch of crap!

Please don’t sue me.
