Heck, Run-DMC not only lifted the melody of “Walk This Way”, they even lifted two members of Aerosmith to record it!
Haha good one.
It would be funny if Coldplay are planning on playing the very song they ripped off from Satriani and as they get ready to play, Joe walks out on stage playing his song in time to the Coldplay Viva crap and he serves the papers himself. All captured on live tv. Would be an interesting stunt, only Joe would be arrested for that stunt I’m sure.
