I had never heard of Cold Play before this, but I have looked at a few videos, and besides being a lame near-boy band without any artistic merit, the singer looks like a bearded buck tooth rabbit. That is enough reason for me to side with Satriani, I will side with a bald guy over a boy band singer who looks like a bearded rabbit. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Maybe Coldplay's limo driver listens to Satch, and they heard it in the background while drinking their Crystal wine one day.... Then, weeks later, trying to write a song, Coldplay's the guitar player comes up with the chord progression. Strangely enough, this just pops out of the vocalist. Everyone says "Yes sir! That's our next Juno" (I can't remember what the US one is...a grammy maybe?). Anyways, I'm a neutral party. I can't say I'm too fond of either group. Maybe we should start a fund to get them two groups to wear dresses on stage. They are only embarrassing themselves, (COUGH - NAPSTER). After seeing this, Satch would probably suggest a g-string for a pay raise. Coldplay would video tape it and sell it to a sick market overseas. I say overseas, so Scatch couldn't sue them. We'd only have an endless cycle that way. Sounds familiar, someone doing work, and someone else collect money. Why? Because money rules all - Dolla' dolla' bill y'all. It's all the white collars with their "society". Society man....society. - Alexander Supertramp NOW.... I ask, who knows what movie he's from?
